T1135 Transitional guidance
Late today, the Canada Revenue Agency (“CRA”) provided transitional reporting guidance in respect of prescribed Form T1135 for taxpayers who own specified foreign property with a cost of $100,000 or more. There were two transitional provisions provided but such relief is only applicable for 2013.
Olympic Tax?
We here at Moodys Tax are caught up in the Olympic fever (Go Canada Go!)…but like always…
“Black is the new grey” – Treaty interpretation in the Conrad Black appeal
Winston Churchill said there is “no such thing as a good tax” and thus it surely follows that no good can come from double taxation. While it’s difficult to feel sympathy for Lord Black who earned approximately $3.39 million with another $1.7 million of taxable benefits in 2002, the underlying principles are important to all who rely on the relief provided in tax treaties to avoid double taxation.
Clampdown on improper joint venture GST/HST S.273 election but regime to be expanded
On February 6, 2014, the CRA issued its final warning, in the form of GST/HST Notice No. 284, to joint ventures that use bare trust nominees to file GST/HST returns on their behalf. The CRA has always maintained that such practice is inconsistent with section 273 of the Excise Tax Act (the “ETA”) and it announced that it will no longer tolerate the practice after 2014. Interestingly, as part of the 2014 federal Budget released less than a week afterwards, the Department of Finance proposed to expand the section 273 election regime so that more commercial joint ventures can benefit from the regime.

The 2014 Federal Budget – The top five tax matters to watch for
On January 27, 2014, the Department of Finance of the Government of Canada announced that the 2014 Federal Budget would be released on February 11, 2014. Budgets of late have typically been released in March. No doubt, the Department must have been very busy getting ready for February 11. While the rest of Canada will be cheering for our athletes in the Sochi Olympics, tax geeks like us will be “cheering” or “booing” at the release of the Budget.
