RE:RE:RE:RE:Special distribution
RE:RE:RE:RE:Special distributionIts unfortunate that you don't want the tax implications since they are to your benefit' that is it increases your adjusted cost base' hence reducing your capital gain.
Either you misunderstood or were misled by the individual you called. (Next time you might want to call IR not HR)
Think of it this way, they give you a distribution of 44 cents a share, you give it back to them but your number of shares does not change, so you have paid 44 cents more for the shares you own decreasing your eventual capital gain (or possibly increasing your capital loss)

I called HR and what is going to happen is you will receive a T3 for the gains...... and your addjusted cost base for your units in your account will be reduced by the amount of distribution.... maybe .44
This distribution is of no advantage to a share holder just the company...... Sold my position I don't want the tax implications.
