The Keg Royalties Income Fund KEG.UN-T will stick to its trust status right up until the 2011 deadline when it will be forced to start paying tax similar to a corporation, saying it believes a better structure has yet to be unveiled. While dozens of income trusts are converting to corporations ahead of the deadline, the Keg isn't convinced. "Our job frankly, primarily is to sell steaks, but there are a lot of really smart people out there whose jobs is primarily to figure out what structures like our income fund should morph into," said David Aisenstat, president and CEO of Keg Restaurants Ltd. KEG.UN-T (TSX) rose 9 cents to $9.07.
