Later it split 3 for 1 (GREAT) !nIn 2007 (now called Altria) it spun off Kraft Foods (GREAT) !nUnfortunately this was deemed a foreign dividend and I was taxed on the entire amount.nThis year it spun off Philip Morris Int.(GREAT) !nAs a Canadian citizen am I going to be hit with another tax bill ?nIf so ,then these two moves have resulted in most of my Capital Gains income (taxed at our lowest rate) being lost to foreign dividend income (taxed at our highest rate). I'm hoping this spin-off was structured differently and therefore I can simply reduce my Adjusted Cost Base for my original shares. Any help from those similarly affected ?
