Q: Once upon a time…..(1990) I bought shares of TRP. Many events around TRP since then, including recent SOBO spinoff, but I still own some of my original shares. You might be too young for this, but in 1994, a change was made to Capital Gains Exemptions law. We could lock Capital Gains as of Fev22,1994, in filing Form T664, and claim them later by increasing ACB. I still have my personal notes for this!. By any chance would you -or your subscribers- know if CRA keeps records as far as this? CRA web site shows records for 2012+. In 1994, tax returns and any other documents were made on paper of course. Thanks again.
