Glad you can profit from my past agonies. On a point of clarity... its the transfer agent that withholds the tax but its the broker who can change transfer agents to one who properly registers and services NON taxable accounts. It seems that one needs to avoid brokers who insist on using Cannaccord (or other Transfer Agents with same issues) and use the Brokers who select DTC as a transfer agent for IRA accounts.

Let me know how you progress

Networm, I know my brother is going through similar issues (i.e purchasing Canroys in margin and IRA accounts). He has enlisted the help of Casey Lytespeed (no relation) to work through some of the issues with him. I referred him to Casey, who is the author of Wealth by Stealth Strategies, the e-book on investing in Income Trusts (see at wealthbystealth.net 

My brother has certainly made progress, getting his feet wet this summer. He is currently on vacation in Hawaii. I will ask him to update me on his adventures in this arena when he returns in late September and I will post his experiences.

Thanks for sharing your experiences.

Casey

Hi Tommaso - Getting oil from the goey mixture works better if it's burried a few thousand feet down...then it's just heavy oil, extractable with steam flood. Also more likely to sill have lots of volitile fractions left.

Networm and all others re TAX:

Guys, I've held 5 Can Trusts with TD WAterhouse in a Traditional IRA and NEVER have a had a problem with Canadian Tax being withheld.

Possibly because TD acquired a NY brokerage House that dealt exclusively in Canadian Stocks (Greenline) and therefore was familiar with these creatures.

I can't speak if the trusts are held outside a traditional IRA.

Shoulder season is often a good time to buy O and G trusts. I am looking at a new trust, BNP, hoping to get in at the $16 and change level. The energy trusts I have are too expensive for me, or I already have full positions. Any opinions on BNP would be appreciated.

I'm already in. Take a look at the 'profit' per share never mind cash flow. last report i read said they were one of
few trusts that could continue to pay their dividend. if it goes back to 16 and change i'll be buying as well. 25 cents a month.

Networm: just got an answer from new broker. I had transferred blocks of O+G trusts and Canadian juniors from Schwab to this broker.

New broker did a little research today after I explained that I would likely have to move the units once again if they couldn't get the tax on distributions figured out.

Since I had just transferred units in, they knew I wouldn't hesitate to move them again.

Got an answer a few hours later, all distributions for unit trusts will flow tax free with the next pay date, September 15.

Thanks very much for your encouragement and vital information.

The bottom line is, if you threaten to vote with your feet, you get resolution of this annoying problem.

BTW: Mr. H is correct about TDWaterhouse, with their Canadian brokerage, this tax question is no problem in IRA's.

I didn't wait, so maybe you should. Picked up some BNP the other day, and today some BTE. I have no fear of holding multiple trusts, because I haven't seen the downside. There are no increased costs involved, and the risks of a blowup, such as with HAL, are mitigated. Build of 97 in NG will cool the energy market, but IMO has no long term implications.
