Bonterra gets notice of possible CRA tax reassessment; could face bill of $25M
– canadianbusiness.com
CALGARY – Bonterra Energy Corp. (TSX:BNE) is facing a possible tax reassessment that could result in the oil and gas producer owing as much as $25 million.
Bonterra said Wednesday that it has been notified by the Canada Revenue Agency of the possible reassessment of taxation years since Nov. 18, 2008, when the company converted from an income trust to a corporation.
“If such reassessments are issued and maintained on appeal, Bonterra will owe total cash taxes of approximately $25 million for the five taxation years since the conversion,” the company said in a news release issued after markets closed.
The company said it remains of the opinion that, “after careful consideration and consultation at the time of the conversion, Bonterra’s subsequent tax returns were correct as filed.”
The company said if the proposed reassessments are issued “management will vigorously defend Bonterra’s tax-filing position.”
Meanwhile, Bonterra said the proposed reassessment will not affect its strategy going forward, nor the amount of its monthly dividend distributions…

October 2013 Dividend Income Update
– myownadvisor.ca
Welcome to my latest dividend income update (better late than never) for October 2013. For those of you new to these posts on my site, every month I discuss my approach to investing using dividend paying stocks and how reinvesting the dividends paid from the Canadian companies I own are helping me reach financial freedom. You can check out my previous dividend income update here.
Last month, my update included some investing advice from a sharp economist whose opinions on investing I value greatly. This investor holds a few stocks in his portfolio but in recent years he has started to transition his portfolio out of multiple stocks into a focused basket of diversified, low-cost Exchange Traded Funds (ETFs). I’ve hinted about my plans to do the same on this site and that transition will start to occur in 2014. I’m going to begin this transition because I believe I now own enough Canadian dividend paying stocks (about 30) for dividend income and going forward, it will be much easier to invest using a passive approach than an active approach across my portfolio…

The Loonie will fall: Goldman Sachs
Researchers at the U.S. investment firm expect the Canadian dollar to hit 88 cents USD in 2014 as our trade deficit grows, according to media reports. That, coupled with the rebound in the U.S. economy, could lead investors to short the loonie in favour of the greenback.
Ottawa should consider end to CMHC mortgage insurance: IMF
The International Monetary Fund report suggested that the federal government get out of the business of mortgage insurance because it exposes the government and taxpayers to risk and might distort the lending market as a whole in favour of mortgages over entrepreneurship. The IMF also recommended that Canada’s central bank hold off raising interest rates until there are signs of solid household spending, exports and investment. The think tank projected modest economic growth of 2.25% for Canada next year.
