REASONS FOR JUDGMENT
(Delivered from the Bench at Toronto, Ontario on
Thursday, February 10, 2000)
ROTHSTEIN J.A.:
_. Despite the able argument of counsel for the appellant, we are in agreement with the learned Tax Court Judge that the deposits and agreements for the purchase of land for development and sale were, in this case, inventory, the cost of which was correctly determined by the respondent and which the respondent was entitled to write down in computing its income tax for the 1990 taxation year. |
_. As the other arguments of the appellant are dependent on a finding that the deposits and agreements were not inventory, it is not necessary to address them. |
_. The appeal will be dismissed with costs. |
