1\_ RAINBOW RANCHE, LIMITED Okanagan Centre, B.C. COPY. Letter from Inspector of Income Tax* Vancouver, B.C2 Dec.11,1931. Messrs. Helliwell,Maclachlan &Co. 525 Seymour Street Vancouver, B.C. Dear Sirs : Re Rainbow Ranche Limited. With reference to youfc letter of the 9th inst. re Shareholders Advances, I would advise that Section No.19 of the Act, as amended, states : m On the winding up, the distribution in any form of the property *of the Company shall be deemed to be the payment of a dividend to the ^extent that the Company has on hand undistributed income earned in the "1930 period and subsequent periods. n Accordingly, on the winding up of the above named Company the Surplus, as by the books, would appear to be exempt up to and including 1929. With regard to the Shareholders Advances, I understand that the major portion, if not the whole of these, were advances prior to 1925 and, as such, this Office would be prepared to recommend to the Commissioner that same be considered in the light of an ordinary Account Receivable, and not taxable on the winding up. Yours faithfully, NORMAN LEE. Inspector of Income Tax. per ?fA.C* Cox. Letter from Helliwell, Maciachlan & Co Vancouver January 4th.1932. Messrs. Rainbow Ranche Limited Okanagan Centre, B.C. Dear Sirs : Re, ^organisation. f* enclose herewith copy of a letter received from the Inspector of Income Tax. The only question remaining is whether the dividend declared during the fiscal period ended February 28.1931 may be deducted from the sij surplus earned subsequent to the 1929 taxation period. V/e have been verbally informed that this will not be permissible under the ruling now in force, so that on reorganization taxes would be collected from the individual shareholders on the basis of a dividehd of about #10,000.00. It appears to us, however, that the reorganization of the Company may safely be executed without further taxation than the foregoing.
