The Canada Revenue Agency (CRA) issues income tax interpretation bulletins (ITs) to provide technical interpretations and positions regarding certain provisions contained in income tax law. Due to their technical nature, ITs are used primarily by CRA staff and tax specialists. An interpretation or position contained in an IT generally applies as of the date on which it was published, unless otherwise specified.

If you seek to provide the optimal solution on income tax related matters, then you need these invaluable resources. Income Tax Bulletins, Circulars, and Technical News is the only comprehensive print reference book that consolidates the Canada Revenue Agency's interpretations of the Income Tax Act; CRA procedures, practices, and administration policies; and CRA's position on recent court decisions. It offers three separate indexes to assist you in searching for the information you need fast.

• The Topical Index references specific topics of interest.
• The Sectional Index allows you to search for a document applicable to a provision in the Income Tax Act
• The Numerical Finding Index references the exact page of the circular, bulletin, or technical news that you need

This reference book is produced annually. The 2010 edition is consolidated to May 31, 2010.
