Underwater? CRA relief may be available
Southern Alberta was recently hit by the worst flooding the province has ever seen according to Premier Redford – but in true Alberta spirit, the Province is rallying together to recover from this natural disaster! With respect to tax obligations, it is important to note that if you or your business were unable to meet some of your tax obligations due to the recent flooding, relief from the Canada Revenue Agency (the “CRA”) may be available.
Proposed changes to the taxation of Canadian testamentary trusts
In the 2013 Federal Budget, the Department of Finance announced that the Canadian government would review how testamentary trusts are taxed and would release a consultation paper at a later date. On June 3, 2013 the consultation paper was released by the Department of Finance and can be viewed here. The Department of Finance is seeking input from interested parties no later than December 2, 2013. For practitioners who practice in this area, the short consultation paper will no doubt be mandatory reading since the proposed changes raised in the paper, if implemented, would be a landmark change for testamentary trusts.

Canadian Tax Court comments on cross-border financing structure
The Tax Court of Canada recently released their decision in Lehigh Cement Limited v. R. and CBR Alberta Limited v. R., 2013 TCC 176, which deals with whether a cross-border financing structure ran afoul of a specific anti-avoidance provision in the Income Tax Act (the “Act”). The Court closely examined the wording of the provision and held in favour of the Taxpayers (collectively, Lehigh Cement Limited and CBR Alberta Limited).

The best tax advice you’ll ever receive: AVOID CHARITABLE TAX SHELTERS
Last week, a longtime colleague of mine sent me a link to some promotional material that a charitable tax shelter had recently distributed. The material was trumpeting a “win” in the Federal Court regarding a procedural matter for a taxpayer involved in a charitable tax shelter. To “celebrate” such a “win,” the tax shelter was offering a discount, for a “limited time” to its subscribers for its latest offering. As I read the material, my stomach turned. For those of you who know me, it will be no surprise that I despise charitable tax shelters.
