22R12. Where the merchandise sold is shipped to a jurisdiction in which the individual has an establishment, the gross revenue derived from the sale is attributable to that establishment and, if there is no such establishment, it is attributable to the establishment to which the person who has negotiated the sale is attached.

Where the buyer instructs that the merchandise be shipped to some other person, the gross revenue derived from the sale is attributable to the establishment situated in the jurisdiction of the buyer’s establishment, if the individual has an establishment in that jurisdiction, otherwise, it is attributable to the establishment to which the person who has negotiated the sale is attached.

22R13. Despite section 22R12, where the merchandise sold is shipped to another country where the individual has no establishment and if the merchandise was entirely produced or manufactured by the individual in one jurisdiction in Canada, the gross revenue derived from the sale is attributable to the establishment situated in that jurisdiction.

However, if the merchandise sold was produced or manufactured by the individual partly outside Québec in Canada and partly in Québec or outside Canada, the gross revenue derived from the sale attributable to the establishment situated outside Québec in Canada is that proportion of the gross revenue that the salaries and wages paid in the year to employees of that establishment is of the aggregate of the salaries and wages paid in the year to employees of all the establishments where the merchandise sold was produced or manufactured.

The same rules apply where the establishment of the buyer is situated in a jurisdiction outside Canada in which the individual has no establishment and the buyer instructs that the merchandise be shipped to another person.

22R17. The part of an individual’s income for a taxation year from carrying on a bus and truck transportation business that is attributable to the individual’s establishment outside Québec in Canada is one-half the aggregate of

(1)  the age that is to be used is the age of the life insured on the date on which the coverage was issued, or that which is attained on the birthday of the life insured nearest to the date on which the coverage was issued, depending on the method used by the insurer that issued the policy in determining the premium or cost of insurance rates in respect of the life insured,

(2)  if the life insured was determined by the insurer that issued the policy to be a standard life on the date on which the coverage was issued, the Proposed CIA Mortality Tables, 1986–1992 included in the May 17, 1995 Canadian Institute of Actuaries Memorandum, extended to include select mortality rates from age 81 to age 90 developed using the methodology used by the Canadian Institute of Actuaries to derive select mortality rates from age 71 to age 80, applicable for an individual who has the same relevant characteristics as the life insured, are to be used, and

(3)  if the life insured was determined by the insurer that issued the policy to be a substandard life on the date on which the coverage was issued, the mortality rates that are to be applied are equal to the value determined in accordance with the second paragraph,

ii.  if 2 or more lives are jointly insured under the coverage, the mortality rates to be used are those determined by applying the methodology used by the insurer that issued the policy to estimate the mortality rates of the lives jointly insured for the purpose of determining the premium or cost of insurance rates in respect of the coverage to the Proposed CIA Mortality Tables, 1986–1992 included in the May 17, 1995 Canadian Institute of Actuaries Memorandum, extended to include select mortality rates from age 81 to age 90 developed using the methodology used by the Canadian Institute of Actuaries to derive select mortality rates from age 71 to age 80; and

(c)  in determining the net premium reserve of the policy, the present value of future net premiums or cost of insurance charges is to be calculated as if a premium or cost of insurance charge payable or incurred on a policy anniversary were payable or incurred, as the case may be, one day after the policy anniversary.

The value to which subparagraph 3 of subparagraph i of subparagraph b of the first paragraph refers is either of the following values, depending on the method used by the insurer for the purpose of determining the premium or cost of insurance rates in respect of the coverage:

(a)  the lesser of 1 and the product obtained by multiplying the rating attributed to the life by the insurer and the mortality rates that would be determined under subparagraph 2 of subparagraph i of subparagraph b of the first paragraph if the life insured were not a substandard life, or

(b)  the mortality rates that would be determined under subparagraph 2 of subparagraph i of subparagraph b of the first paragraph if the life insured were a standard life and the age of the life insured were the age used by the life insurer for the purpose of determining the premium or cost of insurance rates in respect of the coverage.

92.11R12.2. For the purpose of applying this division at a particular time, the amounts determined under this section are,

(a)  in respect of a deposit administration fund policy, the total of the insurer’s liabilities under the policy calculated in the manner that

i.  if the insurer is required to file an annual report with the relevant authority for a period that includes the particular time, is required to be used in preparing that report, and

ii.  in any other case, is required to be used in preparing its annual financial statements for the period that includes the particular time;

(b)  in respect of a group term life insurance policy that provides insurance for a period not exceeding 12 months, the unearned portion of the premium paid by the policyholder in respect of the policy at the particular time determined by apportioning the premium paid by the policyholder equally over the period to which that premium pertains;

(c)  in respect of a life insurance policy, other than a policy referred to in subparagraph a or b, the greater of

i.  the amount determined by the formula

A – B, and

ii.  the amount determined by the formula

C − (D + E);

(d)  in respect of a group life insurance policy, the amount (other than an amount the insurer may deduct under section 832 of the Act because of paragraph b of section 841 of the Act in computing the insurer’s income for its taxation year that includes the particular time) in respect of a dividend, refund of premiums or refund of premium deposits provided for by the policy that will be used by the insurer to reduce or eliminate a future adverse claims experience under the policy or that will be paid or unconditionally credited to the policyholder by the insurer or applied in discharge, in whole or in part, of a liability of the policyholder to pay premiums to the insurer, which is the least of

i.  a reasonable amount in respect of such a dividend, refund of premiums or refund of premium deposits,

ii.  25% of the amount of the premium payable under the policy for the 12-month period ending at the particular time, and

iii.  the amount of the reserve or liability in respect of such a dividend, refund of premiums or refund of premium deposits that, if the insurer is required to file an annual report with the Superintendent of Financial Institutions for a period that includes the particular time, is used in preparing that report, and, in any other case, is used in preparing its annual financial statements for the period that includes the particular time; and

(e)  in respect of a policy, other than a policy referred to in subparagraph a, the amount of a benefit, risk or guarantee described in the third paragraph that is equal to the lesser of

i.  a reasonable amount in respect of the benefit, risk or guarantee, and

In the formulas in the first paragraph,

(a)  A is

i.  if the policy is issued after 31 December 2016 and is not an annuity contract, the cash surrender value of the policy at the particular time determined without reference to surrender charges, and

(d)  D is

i.  if the policy is issued after 31 December 2016 and is not an annuity contract, zero, and

ii.  in any other case, the present value at the particular time of any future modified net premiums in respect of the policy; and

(e)  E is the aggregate of all amounts each of which is an amount payable at the particular time in respect of a policy loan in respect of the policy.

S.Q. 2019, c. 14, s. 628.

92.11R12.3. Subject to sections 92.11R12.4 to 92.11R12.6, for the purpose of applying subparagraph c of the first paragraph of section 92.11R12.2 in respect of a life insurance policy issued before 1 January 2017 or an annuity contract, a modified net premium and an amount determined in accordance with that subparagraph c are to be computed using the rates described in the second paragraph and taking into account only

(a)  in the case of a lapse-supported policy effected after 31 December 1990, rates of interest, mortality and policy lapse; and

(b)  in any other case, rates of interest and mortality.

The rates to which the first paragraph refers are as follows:

(a)  in the case of a modified net premium and a benefit (other than a benefit described in subparagraph b) of a participating life insurance policy (other than an annuity contract) under the terms of which the policyholder is entitled to receive a specified amount in respect of the policy’s cash surrender value, the rates used by the insurer when the policy was issued in computing the cash surrender values of the policy;

(b)  in the case of a benefit provided in lieu of a cash settlement on the termination or maturity of a policy, or in satisfaction of a dividend on a policy, the rates used by the insurer in computing the amount of such benefit; and

(c)  in the case of the whole or part of any other policy, the rates used by the insurer in computing the amount of the premiums in respect of the policy.

S.Q. 2019, c. 14, s. 628.

92.11R12.4. For the purposes of section 92.11R12.3, where the present value of the premiums in respect of a policy on the date of its issue is less than the aggregate of the present value on that date of the benefits provided for by the policy and outlays and expenses referred to in section 92.11R12.5, an increased rate of interest must be determined by multiplying the rate of interest used by the insurer in computing the amount of such premiums by a constant factor so that, when the increased rate of interest is used, the present value of those premiums on that date is equal to the aggregate of the present value on that date of those benefits, outlays and expenses and, in such case, that increased rate of interest is deemed to have been used by the insurer in computing the amount of such premiums.

S.Q. 2019, c. 14, s. 628.

92.11R12.5. The outlays and expenses referred to in section 92.11R12.4 are those made or incurred by the insurer in respect of the policy or those that it reasonably estimates to make or incur in respect of the policy, except for the maintenance in force of the policy after the payment of all premiums if an express provision in that respect has not been made in calculating the premiums, and such part of any other outlays or expenses incurred by the insurer that is reasonably applicable to the policy.

S.Q. 2019, c. 14, s. 628.

92.11R12.6. For the purposes of section 92.11R12.3, where a rate of mortality or other probability used by an insurer in computing a premium in respect of a policy is not reasonable in the circumstances, the Minister may, on the advice of the Superintendent of Financial Institutions, modify that rate in a manner that is reasonable in the circumstances and the insurer is deemed to have used that modified rate in computing that premium.

Likewise, for the purposes of section 92.11R12.4, a present value referred to in that section must be computed using the rates of mortality and other probabilities used by the insurer in computing its premiums after any modification required under the first paragraph.

S.Q. 2019, c. 14, s. 628.

92.11R12.7. For the purposes of section 92.11R12.3, where no document related to the rate of interest or mortality used by an insurer in computing the amount of the premiums in respect of a policy is available, the insurer may, if the policy was issued before 1978, make a reasonable estimate of that rate and the Minister, on the advice of the Superintendent of Financial Institutions, may do likewise if the policy was issued after 1977 or, where it was issued before 1978, if the insurer has not made such an estimate.

S.Q. 2019, c. 14, s. 628.

92.11R12.8. Despite subparagraph c of the first paragraph of section 92.11R12.2, a life insurer may use a method of approximation in computing its income for a taxation year, in respect of any class of life insurance policies issued before its 1988 taxation year, other than policies referred to in subparagraph a or b of that first paragraph, in order to convert the amount that it reported as a reserve in respect of those policies in its annual report for the year filed with the Superintendent of Financial Institutions into an amount that is a reasonable estimate of the amount that, but for this section, would have been computed under subparagraph c of that first paragraph in respect of those policies, provided that that method of approximation is acceptable to the Minister on the advice of the Superintendent of Financial Institutions.

S.Q. 2019, c. 14, s. 628.

92.11R12.9. For the purposes of section 92.11R12.3 and despite sections 92.11R12.4 to 92.11R12.8 and 92.11R12.10, where an individual annuity contract was issued before 1969 by a life insurer or a benefit was purchased before 1969 under a group annuity contract issued by a life insurer, and the contract is a policy in respect of which section 628.8 of the former Regulation, within the meaning of section 2000R2, applied as that section 628.8 read for the purposes of its application to the insurer’s 1977 taxation year, the insurer must use the same rates of interest and mortality as those used in computing its reserve provided for by such section 628.8 in respect of the policy for its 1977 taxation year.

S.Q. 2019, c. 14, s. 628.

92.11R12.10. For the purposes of section 92.11R12.3 for a taxation year and subject to the fourth paragraph, an insurer may revise the rates of interest, mortality or policy lapse used by the issuer of the policies referred to in subparagraph b to eliminate all or any part of the reserve deficiency determined in subparagraph c, where

(a)  a disposition to which section 832.7 of the Act applies has been made to the insurer during the year by a person with whom it was dealing at arm’s length;

(b)  the insurer assumes, as a result of the disposition referred to in subparagraph a, obligations under life insurance policies in respect of which it may claim an amount as a reserve for the year under subparagraph c of the first paragraph of section 92.11R12.2;

(c)  the reserve deficiency determined by the following formula is a positive amount:

A − B − C; and

(d)  the reserve deficiency determined in subparagraph c may reasonably be attributed to the fact that the rates of interest, mortality and policy lapse used by the issuer of the policies referred to in subparagraph b to determine the cash surrender value of the policies or the premiums in respect of those policies are no longer reasonable in the circumstances.

In the formula in subparagraph c of the first paragraph,

(a)  A is the aggregate of all amounts received or receivable by the insurer from the person referred to in subparagraph a of the first paragraph in respect of the policies referred to in subparagraph b of the first paragraph;

(b)  B is the aggregate of all amounts paid or payable by the insurer to the person referred to in subparagraph a of the first paragraph in respect of commissions in respect of the amounts referred to in subparagraph a; and

(c)  C is the aggregate of the maximum amounts that may be claimed by the insurer for the year as a reserve under subparagraph c of the first paragraph of section 92.11R12.2, determined without reference to this section, in respect of the policies referred to in subparagraph b of the first paragraph.

The rates revised under the first paragraph are deemed to have been used by the issuer of the policies referred to in subparagraph b of the first paragraph for the purpose of determining the cash surrender value of the policies or the premiums in respect of those policies.

If in accordance with this section an insurer has revised the rates of interest, mortality or policy lapse used by the issuer of the policies referred to in subparagraph b of the first paragraph, the Minister may, for the purposes of section 92.11R12.3 and the third paragraph, make further revisions to the revised rates to the extent that the insurer’s revisions to those rates are not reasonable in the circumstances.

DIVISION IV EXEMPT POLICY

div. VII; O.C. 7-87, s. 2; O.C. 134-2009, s. 1.

92.19R1. For the purposes of paragraph a of section 92.19 of the Act, an exempt policy at a particular time means a life insurance policy in respect of which the following conditions are met:

(a)  if the particular time corresponds to a policy anniversary of the policy, the accumulating fund of the policy at that time, determined without considering any policy loan, does not exceed the aggregate of the accumulating funds, at that time, of the accumulating funds of the exemption test policies issued in respect of the policy not later than that time;

(b)  assuming that the terms of the policy do not differ from those that were in force on the last policy anniversary of the policy occurring not later than the particular time and, where necessary, making reasonable assumptions about all the other factors, including, in the case of a participating life insurance policy within the meaning of subparagraph f of the first paragraph of section 835 of the Act, the assumption that the amounts of dividends paid will be as shown in the dividend scale, it is reasonable to expect that

i.  if the policy is issued before 1 January 2017, the condition provided for in subparagraph a will be met on each policy anniversary of the policy on which the policy could remain in force after the particular time but before the endowment date of the exemption test policies issued in respect of the policy, and

ii.  if the policy is issued after 31 December 2016, the condition in subparagraph a will be met on the policy’s next policy anniversary, without reference to any automatic adjustments under the policy that may be made after the particular time to ensure that the policy is an exempt policy and, where applicable, making projections using the most recent values that are used to calculate the accumulating fund in respect of the policy or in respect of each exemption test policy issued in respect of a coverage under the policy;

92.19R3. For the purposes of this division, the following rules apply:

(a)   in the case of a life insurance policy issued before 1 January 2017, a separate exemption test policy is deemed, subject to section 92.19R6.1, to have been issued in respect of the life insurance policy

i.  on the date of issue of the life insurance policy, and

ii.  on each policy anniversary of the life insurance policy on which the amount of the death benefit under the life insurance policy exceeds 108% of the amount of the death benefit under the life insurance policy on the later of the life insurance policy’s date of issue and the date of the life insurance policy’s preceding policy anniversary, if any; and

(b)   in the case of a life insurance policy issued after 31 December 2016, a separate exemption test policy is deemed, subject to section 92.19R6.1, to be issued in respect of each coverage under the life insurance policy

i.  on any of the following dates:

ii.  on each policy anniversary of the life insurance policy on which the amount of the death benefit under the coverage on that policy anniversary exceeds 108% of the amount of the death benefit under the coverage, on the later of the coverage’s date of issue and the date of the life insurance policy’s preceding policy anniversary (or, if there is no preceding policy anniversary, the coverage’s date of issue), and

iii.  on each policy anniversary of the life insurance policy—except to the extent that another exemption test policy has been issued on that date under this subparagraph iii in respect of a coverage under the life insurance policy—on which an excess amount is determined by the formula

A − B.

In the formula in the first paragraph,

(a)  A is the amount by which the fund value benefit under the life insurance policy on the policy anniversary referred to in subparagraph iii of subparagraph b of the first paragraph exceeds the fund value benefit under the life insurance policy on the life insurance policy’s preceding policy anniversary (or, if there is no preceding policy anniversary, the date of issue of the policy); and

(b)  B is the amount by which 8% of the amount of the death benefit under the life insurance policy on the policy anniversary preceding the policy anniversary referred to in subparagraph iii of subparagraph b of the first paragraph (or, if there is no preceding policy anniversary, the date of issue of the policy) exceeds the aggregate of all amounts each of which is, in respect of a coverage under the policy, the lesser of

i.  the amount by which the amount of the death benefit under the coverage on the date of the policy anniversary referred to in that subparagraph iii exceeds the amount of the death benefit under the coverage on the later of the coverage’s date of issue and the date of the life insurance policy’s preceding policy anniversary (or, if there is no preceding policy anniversary, the coverage’s date of issue), and

ii.  8% of the amount of the death benefit under the coverage on the later of the coverage’s date of issue and the date of the policy anniversary preceding the policy anniversary referred to in that subparagraph iii (or, if there is no preceding policy anniversary, the coverage’s date of issue).

92.19R4. For the purpose of determining whether the condition in subparagraph a of the first paragraph of section 92.19R1 is met on a policy anniversary of a life insurance policy, each exemption test policy issued in respect of the life insurance policy, or in respect of a coverage under the life insurance policy, is deemed

(a)  to have a death benefit that is uniform throughout the term of the exemption test policy and that, subject to section 92.19R5, is equal to

i.  if the date on which the exemption test policy is issued is determined under subparagraph i of subparagraph a of the first paragraph of section 92.19R3, the amount by which the amount on that policy anniversary of the death benefit under the life insurance policy exceeds the aggregate of all amounts each of which is the amount on that policy anniversary of the death benefit under another exemption test policy issued on or before that policy anniversary in respect of the life insurance policy,

ii.  if the date on which the exemption test policy is issued is determined under subparagraph ii of subparagraph a of the first paragraph of section 92.19R3, the amount of the excess referred to in that subparagraph on that date in respect of the life insurance policy,

iii.  if the date on which the exemption test policy is issued is determined under subparagraph i of subparagraph b of the first paragraph of section 92.19R3, the amount determined by the formula

A + B − C,

iv.  if the date on which the exemption test policy is issued is determined under subparagraph ii of subparagraph b of the first paragraph of section 92.19R3, the amount of the excess referred to in that subparagraph on that date in respect of the coverage, or

v.  if the date on which the exemption test policy is issued is determined under subparagraph iii of subparagraph b of the first paragraph of section 92.19R3, the lesser of

(1)  the amount by which the amount determined under subparagraph a of the second paragraph of section 92.19R3 exceeds the amount determined under subparagraph b of that paragraph in respect of the coverage on that date, and

(2)  the amount determined under subparagraph 1 of subparagraph i of subparagraph b of the second paragraph in respect of the coverage on that date; and

(b)  to pay the amount of its death benefit on the earlier of the exemption test policy’s endowment date and

i.  if the life insurance policy is issued before 1 January 2017, the date of death of the individual whose life is insured under the life insurance policy, or

ii.  if the life insurance policy is issued after 31 December 2016,

(1)  if 2 or more lives are jointly insured under the coverage, the date at which the benefit would be payable as a result of the death of any of the lives, and

(2)  in any other case, the date of death of the individual whose life is insured under the coverage.

In the formula in subparagraph iii of subparagraph a of the first paragraph,

(a)  A is the amount, on the policy anniversary referred to in the first paragraph, of the death benefit under the coverage;

(b)  B is

i.  if the death benefit under the life insurance policy includes a fund value benefit on the policy anniversary referred to in the first paragraph, the portion of the fund value benefit on that policy anniversary that is equal to the lesser of

(1)  the maximum amount of the fund value benefit that could be payable on that policy anniversary if no other coverage were offered under the life insurance policy and the life insurance policy were an exempt policy, and

(2)  the amount by which the fund value benefit on that policy anniversary exceeds the aggregate of all amounts each of which is the portion of the fund value benefit allocated to other coverages under the life insurance policy, and

ii.  in any other case, nil; and

(c)  C is the aggregate of all amounts each of which is the amount, on the policy anniversary referred to in the first paragraph, of the death benefit under another exemption test policy issued on or before that policy anniversary in respect of the coverage.

92.19R5. The following rules apply for the purpose of determining the amount of a death benefit under an exemption test policy issued in respect of

(a)  a life insurance policy issued before 1 January 2017 if, at a particular time, the amount of a death benefit under the life insurance policy is reduced, a particular amount that is equal to the reduction is to be applied at that time to reduce the amount of the death benefit under each exemption test policy issued before that time in respect of the life insurance policy (other than the exemption test policy the date of issue of which is determined under subparagraph i of subparagraph a of the first paragraph of section 92.19R3) in the order in which the dates of their issuance are proximate to that time, by an amount equal to the lesser of

i.  the portion of the particular amount that did not reduce the death benefit under one or more other such exemption test policies, and

ii.  the amount, immediately before that time, of the death benefit under the relevant exemption test policy; and

(b)  a coverage under a life insurance policy issued after 31 December 2016 if, at a particular time, there is a particular reduction in the amount of a death benefit under the coverage, or the portion of the fund value benefit referred to in subparagraph i of subparagraph b of the second paragraph of section 92.19R4 in respect of the coverage, the amount of the death benefit under each exemption test policy issued before that time in respect of the coverage (other than the exemption test policy the date of issue of which is determined under subparagraph i of subparagraph b of the first paragraph of section 92.19R3) is to be reduced at that time by an amount equal to the least of

i.  the particular reduction,

ii.  the amount, immediately before that time, of the death benefit under the relevant exemption test policy, and

iii.  the portion of the particular reduction that did not reduce the death benefit under one or more other such exemption test policies issued on or after the date of issue of the relevant exemption test policy.

(a)  that time is on its 10th or a later policy anniversary;

(b)  the accumulating fund (computed without regard to any amount payable in respect of a policy loan) in respect of the policy at that time exceeds 250% of

ii.  in any other case, the accumulating fund (computed without regard to any amount payable in respect of a policy loan) in respect of the policy on its third preceding policy anniversary; and

(c)  where that time is after 31 December 2016,

i.  the accumulating fund (computed without regard to any amount payable in respect of a policy loan) in respect of the policy at that time exceeds the aggregate of all amounts each of which is

(1)  if the policy is issued before 1 January 2017, 3/20 of the accumulating fund, at that time, in respect of an exemption test policy issued in respect of the policy, and

(2)  if the policy is issued after 31 December 2016, 3/8 of the accumulating fund, at that time, in respect of an exemption test policy issued in respect of a coverage under the policy, and

92.19R6.2. A life insurance policy that would, in the absence of this section, cease (other than by reason of its conversion into an annuity contract) on a policy anniversary of the policy to be an exempt policy is deemed to be an exempt policy on that policy anniversary if

(b)  the person whose life is insured under the policy dies on that policy anniversary or within 60 days after that policy anniversary.

S.Q. 2019, c. 14, s. 633.

(b)  in respect of each coverage issued before the particular time under the life insurance policy, section 92.19R3 does not apply to deem an exemption test policy to be issued in respect of the policy, or in respect of a coverage under the policy, at any time before the particular time;

(c)  in respect of each exemption test policy the date of issue of which is determined under subparagraph i of paragraph a, subparagraph iii of subparagraph a of the first paragraph of section 92.19R4 and paragraph b of section 92.19R5 are to be read as if “subparagraph i of subparagraph b of the first paragraph of section 92.19R3” were replaced by “subparagraph i of paragraph a of section 92.19R6.4”;

(d)  in respect of each exemption test policy the date of issue of which is determined under subparagraph ii of paragraph a, subparagraph iv of subparagraph a of the first paragraph of section 92.19R4 is to be read as follows:

(e)  section 92.19R5 is to be read as if “at a particular time” in the portion of paragraph b before subparagraph i were replaced by “at a time that is at or after the particular time referred to in section 92.19R6.4 in respect of the life insurance policy”.

92.19R7. A premium paid at a particular time under a life insurance policy is a premium to which paragraph a of section 92.19R6.3 refers where the total amount of one or more premiums paid at that time under the policy exceeds the amount of the premium that was to be paid under the policy at that time, as determined not later than 1 December 1982 and as adjusted to take into account those events among the following events occurring after that date in respect of the policy:

(a)  a change in the underwriting class;

104R3. Where a vessel owned by a taxpayer on 1 January 1966, or constructed pursuant to a construction contract entered into by the taxpayer prior to that date without the vessel being completed by such date, is disposed of by the taxpayer prior to 1974, section 94 of the Act and Title IV of Book III of Part I of the Act does not apply to the proceeds of disposition

(a)  if an amount at least equal to the proceeds of disposition is used by the taxpayer, before the month of May 1974 and during the taxation year in which the taxpayer disposed of the vessel or within 4 months following the end of that taxation year, under the conditions provided for in subparagraph i of paragraph a of subsection 15 of section 13 of the Income Tax Act (R.S.C. 1985, c. 1 (5th Suppl.)), either for replacement of the vessel or to incur any conversion cost with respect to another vessel owned by the taxpayer; or

(b)  if, under the conditions provided for in subparagraph ii of paragraph a of subsection 15 of section 13 of the Income Tax Act, the taxpayer deposits on or before the day on which the taxpayer’s fiscal return is to be filed for the taxation year of disposal of the vessel, either an amount at least equal to the tax that would, but for this paragraph, be payable by the taxpayer under Part I of the Act in respect of the proceeds of disposition, or satisfactory security therefor to guarantee that the proceeds of disposition will be used before 1975 for replacement of the vessel.

104R4. In the case of a disposition referred to in section 104R3, the taxpayer may, within the time prescribed under the Act for the filing of the taxpayer’s fiscal return for the taxation year in which the taxpayer disposed of the vessel, elect to have the vessel considered as a prescribed class or, if any conversion cost in respect of the vessel has been included in a separate prescribed class, have the vessel transferred to that class and, if the taxpayer so elects, the vessel is deemed to have been so transferred immediately before the disposition by the taxpayer.

However, this section does not apply unless the proceeds of disposition of the vessel exceed the amount that would be the undepreciated capital cost of property of the class to which the vessel would be so transferred.

104R5. If section 104R3 does not apply to the proceeds of disposition of a vessel or if the taxpayer does not make an election under section 104R4 within the time prescribed therein, the taxpayer may, on disposal of a vessel owned by the taxpayer, elect to have the proceeds that would be included in computing the taxpayer’s income for the year under Part I of the Act, treated as proceeds of disposition of property of another prescribed class that includes a vessel owned by the taxpayer.

(a)  that was constructed in Canada;

(b)  that is registered in Canada or in any place to which the British Commonwealth Merchant Shipping Agreement signed at London on 10 December 1931 applies; and

(c)  in respect of the capital cost of which no allowance has been made to any other taxpayer under this Act, the Provincial Income Tax Act, or the Corporation Tax Act.

Similarly, such amount may be paid out to or on behalf of any person who incurs any conversion cost with respect to a vessel the person owns and that is described in subparagraph b of the first paragraph.

However, the ratio of the amount paid out to the amount of the deposit may not exceed the ratio of the capital cost of the vessel or the conversion cost of the vessel, as the case may be, to the proceeds of disposition of the vessel disposed of and any deposit or part of a deposit not so paid out before the month of July 1975 or not paid out pursuant to section 104R8 is assigned to the Consolidated Revenue Fund.

104R8. Despite any other provision of this chapter, where a deposit was made by a taxpayer under paragraph b of section 104R3 and the proceeds of disposition in respect of which the deposit was made are not used by any person before 1975, in accordance with the conditions in paragraph a of that section, to acquire a vessel described in subparagraphs a to c of the first paragraph of section 104R7 or to incur any conversion cost with respect to a vessel owned by that person and described in subparagraph b of the first paragraph of that section, the Minister may refund to the taxpayer the deposit, or the part thereof not paid out to the taxpayer under that section.

Where a refund is so made, the taxpayer is required, in computing the income of the taxpayer for the taxation year in which the vessel was disposed of, to add that proportion of the amount that would have been included in computing the taxpayer’s income for the year under Part I of the Act, had the deposit not been made under paragraph b of section 104R3, that the portion of the proceeds of disposition not so used before 1975 as replacement of a vessel is of the total proceeds of disposition.

104R9. Where a taxpayer has made an election under section 104R4 with respect to a vessel and the proceeds of disposition of that vessel have been used before 1975 for replacement thereof, under conditions mentioned in paragraph a of section 104R3, or where a refund is made under section 104R8, the Minister is to issue such reassessments of tax, interest or penalties as are necessary to give effect to sections 104R3, 104R4 and 104R8.

This section also applies with respect to an election under the Income Tax Act (R.S.C. 1985, c. 1 (5th Suppl.)).

CHAPTER IX INDEXED DEBT OBLIGATIONS

c. III.0.1; O.C. 1454-99, s. 10; O.C. 134-2009, s. 1.

125.0.1R1. In this chapter,

“excluded payment” with respect to a taxpayer for a taxation year means, subject to the second paragraph, an indexed payment under an indexed debt obligation where

(a)  the non-indexed debt obligation associated with the indexed debt obligation provides for the payment, at least annually, of interest at a single fixed rate; and

(b)  the indexed payment corresponds to one of the interest payments referred to in paragraph a;

“indexed payment” means, in relation to an indexed debt obligation, an amount payable under the obligation that is determined by reference to the purchasing power of money;

“inflation adjustment period” of an indexed debt obligation means, in relation to a taxpayer,

(a)  where the taxpayer acquires and disposes of the taxpayer’s interest in the obligation in the same regular adjustment period of the obligation, the period that begins when the taxpayer acquires the interest in the obligation and ends when the taxpayer disposes of the interest; and

(b)  in any other case, each of the following consecutive periods:

i.  the period that begins when the taxpayer acquires the taxpayer’s interest in the obligation and ends at the end of the regular adjustment period of the obligation in which the taxpayer acquires the interest in the obligation,

ii.  each succeeding regular adjustment period of the obligation throughout which the taxpayer holds the interest in the obligation, and

iii.  where the taxpayer does not dispose of the interest in the obligation at the end of a regular adjustment period of the obligation, the period that begins immediately after the last period referred to in subparagraph i or ii and that ends when the taxpayer disposes of the interest in the obligation;

“regular adjustment period” of an indexed debt obligation means

(a)  where the terms or conditions of the obligation provide that, while the obligation is outstanding, indexed payments are to be made at regular intervals not exceeding 12 months in length, each of the following periods:

i.  the period that begins when the obligation is issued and ends when the first indexed payment is required to be made, and

ii.  each succeeding period beginning when an indexed payment is required to be made and ending when the next indexed payment is required to be made;

(b)  where paragraph a does not apply and the obligation is outstanding for less than 12 months, the period that begins when the obligation is issued and ends when the obligation ceases to be outstanding; and

(c)  in any other case, each of the following periods:

i.  the 12-month period that begins when the obligation is issued,

ii.  each succeeding 12-month period throughout which the obligation is outstanding, and

iii.  where the obligation ceases to be outstanding at a time other than the end of a 12-month period referred to in subparagraph i or ii, the period that commences immediately after the last period referred to in those subparagraphs and that ends when the obligation ceases to be outstanding.

For the purposes of the definition of “excluded payment” in the first paragraph, an excluded payment does not include payments under an indexed debt obligation where, at any time in the taxation year, the taxpayer’s proportionate interest in a payment to be made under the obligation after that time differs from the taxpayer’s proportionate interest in any other payment to be made under the obligation after that time.

s. 125.0.1R1; O.C. 1454-99, s. 10; O.C. 134-2009, s. 1.

125.0.1R2. For the purposes of this chapter, the non-indexed debt obligation associated with an indexed debt obligation is the debt obligation that would result if the indexed debt obligation were amended to eliminate all adjustments determined by reference to changes in the purchasing power of money.

s. 125.0.1R2; O.C. 1454-99, s. 10; O.C. 134-2009, s. 1.

125.0.1R3. For the purposes of paragraph a of section 125.0.1 of the Act, where, at any time in a taxation year of a taxpayer, the taxpayer holds an interest in an indexed debt obligation, the amount determined in accordance with the second paragraph is deemed to be interest received or receivable by the taxpayer in the year in respect of the obligation.

The amount to which the first paragraph refers is equal to the aggregate of

(a)  the amount determined by the formula

A – B;

(b)  where the non-indexed debt obligation associated with the indexed debt obligation is an obligation that is described in any of subparagraphs a to d of the first paragraph of section 92.5R3, the amount of interest that would be determined in accordance with section 92.5R4 to accrue to the taxpayer in respect of the non-indexed debt obligation in the particular period described in the fifth paragraph if, for the purposes of that section 92.5R4, the particular period were a taxation year of the taxpayer and the taxpayer’s interest in the indexed debt obligation were an interest in the non-indexed debt obligation.

In the formula in subparagraph a of the second paragraph,

(a)  A is the aggregate of all amounts each of which is the amount by which the amount payable in respect of the taxpayer’s interest in an indexed payment under the indexed debt obligation, other than a payment that is an excluded payment with respect to the taxpayer for the year, has, because of a change in the purchasing power of money, increased over an inflation adjustment period of the indexed debt obligation that ends in the year, exceeds

(b)  B is the aggregate of

i.  the aggregate of all amounts each of which is that portion of the aggregate determined in accordance with subparagraph a that is required, otherwise than because of section 125.0.1 of the Act, to be included in computing the taxpayer’s income for the year or a preceding taxation year;

ii.  the aggregate of all amounts each of which is the amount by which the amount payable in respect of the taxpayer’s interest in an indexed payment under the indexed debt obligation, other than a payment that is an excluded payment with respect to the taxpayer for the year, has, because of a change in the purchasing power of money, decreased over an inflation adjustment period of the obligation that ends in the year.

For the purpose of determining the amount by which an indexed payment under an indexed debt obligation has increased or decreased over a period because of a change in the purchasing power of money, the amount of the indexed payment is determined using the method for computing the amount of the payment at the time it is to be made, adjusted in a reasonable manner to take into account the earlier date of computation.

The particular period to which subparagraph b of the second paragraph refers is the period that begins at the beginning of the first inflation adjustment period of the indexed debt obligation in respect of the taxpayer that ends in the year, and ends at the end of the last inflation adjustment period of the indexed debt obligation in respect of the taxpayer that ends in the year.

125.0.2R1. For the purposes of subparagraph a of the first paragraph of section 125.0.2 of the Act, where at any time in a taxation year of a taxpayer an indexed debt obligation is an obligation of the taxpayer, the amount that would be determined in accordance with subparagraph a of the second paragraph of section 125.0.1R3 in respect of the taxpayer for the year if, at each time at which the obligation is an obligation of the taxpayer, the taxpayer were the holder of the obligation and not the debtor under the obligation, is deemed to be interest payable in respect of the year by the taxpayer in respect of the obligation.

s. 125.0.2R1; O.C. 1454-99, s. 10; O.C. 134-2009, s. 1.

DIVISION XV LEASING PROPERTIES

div. XI.1; O.C. 366-94, s. 7; O.C. 134-2009, s. 1.

(h)  vessel mooring space; and

(i)  a property that is included in Class 35 in Schedule B;

“specified leasing property” of a taxpayer at any time means corporeal depreciable property other than exempt property, that is

(a)  used at that time by the taxpayer or a person with whom the taxpayer does not deal at arm’s length primarily for the purpose of gaining or producing gross revenue that is rent or leasing revenue;

(b)  the subject of a lease at that time to a person with whom the taxpayer deals at arm’s length, the expected term of which at the time it was entered into was more than 1 year; and

130R72. For the purposes of paragraph c of the definition of “specified leasing property” in the first paragraph of section 130R71, where it may reasonably be concluded, in view of the circumstances, that one of the main reasons for the existence of 2 or more leases is to avoid the application of section 130R76 by reason of each such lease being a lease where the fair market value of the corporeal property that is the subject of the lease, other than exempt property, did not exceed $25,000 at the time the lease was entered into, each such lease is deemed to be a lease of corporeal property that had, at the time the lease was entered into, a fair market value exceeding $25,000.

s. 130R42.2; O.C. 366-94, s. 7; O.C. 1466-98, s. 126; O.C. 134-2009, s. 1; O.C. 164-2021, s. 12.

130R73. For the purposes of the definition of “specified leasing property” in the first paragraph of section 130R71 and despite section 130R72, where a taxpayer referred to in section 130R92 so elects in the taxpayer’s fiscal return required be filed under Part I of the Act for a taxation year in respect of the year and subsequent taxation years, the property of the taxpayer that is the subject of leases entered into during those years is deemed not to be exempt property for those years and the fair market value of the corporeal property that is the subject of each such lease is deemed to exceed $25,000 at the time the lease is entered into.

s. 130R42.3; O.C. 366-94, s. 7; O.C. 134-2009, s. 1; O.C. 164-2021, s. 13.

130R74. Subject to section 130R79 and for the purposes of the definition of “specified leasing property” in the first paragraph of section 130R71, a taxpayer who at any time acquires from a person with whom the taxpayer deals at arm’s length a property that is the subject of a lease with a remaining term at that time of more than 1 year is deemed to have entered into, at that time, a lease with an expected term of more than 1 year.

s. 130R42.4; O.C. 366-94, s. 7; O.C. 134-2009, s. 1.

130R75. For the purposes of paragraph a of the definition of “exempt property” in the first paragraph of section 130R71, where a property is owned by 2 or more persons or partnerships or a combination of persons or partnerships, the capital cost of the property to each such person or partnership is deemed to be equal to the aggregate of the amounts each of which represents the capital cost of the property to each of those persons or partnerships.

s. 130R42.5; O.C. 366-94, s. 7; O.C. 1707-97, s. 98; O.C. 1466-98, s. 126; O.C. 134-2009, s. 1.

130R75.1. Despite the definition of “exempt property” in the first paragraph of section 130R71, exempt property does not include property that is the subject of a lease if that property had, at the time the lease was entered into, a fair market value in excess of $1,000,000 and the lessee of the property is

(a)  a person who is exempt from tax by reason of Book VIII of Part I of the Act;

(b)  a person who uses the property in the course of carrying on a business, the income from which is exempt from tax under Part I of the Act by reason of any provision of the Act;

(c)  a Canadian government; or

(d)  a person not resident in Canada, except if the person uses the property primarily in the course of carrying on a business in Canada that is not a treaty-protected business.

For the purposes of the first paragraph, if it is reasonable, having regard to all the circumstances, to conclude that one of the main reasons for the existence of two or more leases was to avoid the application of the first paragraph by reason of each such lease being a lease of property where the property that was the subject of the lease had a fair market value, at the time the lease was entered into, not in excess of $1,000,000, each such lease is deemed to be a lease of property that had, at the time the lease was entered into, a fair market value in excess of $1,000,000.

O.C. 1105-2014, s. 4.

130R76. Despite Chapter I and Divisions I, II, IV to XIV and XVIII, the amount deductible by a taxpayer for a taxation year in respect of a property that is a specified leasing property at the end of the year is equal to the lesser of

(a)  the amount by which the aggregate of the following amounts exceeds the aggregate of the amounts deducted by the taxpayer in respect of the property by reason of this section before the beginning of the year and after the time, referred to in this section as the “particular time”, when the property last became a specified leasing property of the taxpayer:

i.  the amounts that would be considered to be repayments during the year or a preceding taxation year as principal on a loan made by the taxpayer if

(1)  the taxpayer had made the loan at the particular time and the principal amount of the loan were equal to the fair market value of the property at that time,

(2)  interest, capitalized semi-annually and not in advance, had been charged on the principal amount of the loan outstanding from time to time at the rate, determined pursuant to section 125.1R2, in effect at the earlier of the particular time and any time prior to the particular time at which the taxpayer last entered into an agreement to lease the property or, where a particular lease provides that the amount paid or payable by the lessee of the property for the use of or right to use the property varies according to the rates of interest in effect from time to time, at the beginning of the period for which the interest is computed if the taxpayer so elects, in respect of all property that is the subject of the particular lease, in the taxpayer’s fiscal return filed under Part I of the Act for the taxation year during which the particular lease was entered into, and

(3)  the amounts received or receivable by the taxpayer before the end of the year for the use of or the right to use the property before the end of the year and after the particular time were blended payments of principal and interest on the loan, computed pursuant to subparagraph 2, that are applied firstly on account of interest on principal, secondly on account of interest on unpaid interest and thirdly on account of the principal amount outstanding, and

ii.  the amount that would have been deductible under this Title for the taxation year that includes the particular time if

(1)  the property had been transferred to a separate prescribed class at the later of the beginning of that taxation year or the time when the property was acquired by the taxpayer,

(2)  that taxation year had ended immediately before the particular time, and

(3)  where the property was not a specified leasing property immediately before the particular time, section 130R23 had applied; or

(b)  the amount by which the aggregate of the amounts that would have been deducted by the taxpayer in respect of the property under paragraph a of section 130 of the Act in computing the taxpayer’s income for the year and the preceding taxation years, if this section and sections 130R85 and 130R91 had not applied and if the taxpayer, in each such year, had deducted under paragraph a of that section 130 the maximum amount deductible in respect of the property under this Title if it were read without reference to this section and sections 130R85 and 130R91, exceeds the total depreciation allowed to the taxpayer before the beginning of the year in respect of the property.

s. 130R42.6; O.C. 366-94, s. 7; O.C. 1466-98, s. 126; O.C. 134-2009, s. 1.

130R77. For the purposes of this division, a property is deemed to be the subject of a lease for an expected term of more than 1 year at any time if at that time, as the case may be,

(a)  the property had been leased by the lessee, by a person with whom the lessee does not deal at arm’s length or by the lessee and such person for a period of more than 1 year ending at that time; or

(b)  it may reasonably be concluded, in view of the circumstances, that the lessor knew or ought to have known that the lessee, a person with whom the lessee does not deal at arm’s length or the lessee and such person would lease the property for more than 1 year.

s. 130R42.7; O.C. 366-94, s. 7; O.C. 134-2009, s. 1.

130R78. Despite section 130R76 as well as Chapter I and Divisions I, II, IV to XIV and XVIII, where in a taxation year a taxpayer has acquired a property that the taxpayer has not used for any purpose in that year and where the first use made of it is a lease of the property in respect of which section 130R76 applies, the amount deductible by the taxpayer for the year under this Title in respect of the property is deemed to be nil.

s. 130R42.8; O.C. 366-94, s. 7; O.C. 134-2009, s. 1.

130R79. Where, at any time, a taxpayer acquires, from a person with whom the taxpayer does not deal at arm’s length or by reason of an amalgamation, within the meaning of section 544 of the Act, a property that was a specified leasing property of the person from whom the taxpayer acquired it, the taxpayer is deemed, for the purposes of paragraph a of section 130R76 and for the purposes of computing the taxpayer’s income in respect of the lease for any period subsequent to that time, to be the same person as, and the continuation of, the person from whom the taxpayer acquired the property.

s. 130R42.9; O.C. 366-94, s. 7; O.C. 134-2009, s. 1.

(a)  the replacement property is deemed to have been leased by the taxpayer to the lessee at the same time and for the same term as the original property;

(b)  the amount of the loan referred to in subparagraph 1 of subparagraph i of paragraph a of section 130R76 is deemed to be equal to the amount of that loan determined in respect of the original property;

(c)  the amount determined under subparagraph ii of paragraph a of section 130R76 in respect of the replacement property is deemed to be equal to the amount so determined in respect of the original property;

(d)  the amounts received or receivable by the taxpayer for the use of or the right to use the original property before the particular time are deemed to have been received or receivable, as the case may be, by the taxpayer for the use of or the right to use the replacement property; and

(e)  the original property is deemed to have ceased to be the subject of the lease at the particular time.

s. 130R42.10; O.C. 366-94, s. 7; O.C. 1466-98, s. 126; O.C. 134-2009, s. 1.

130R81. For the purposes of section 130R76, where, for any period, an amount that would have been received or receivable by a taxpayer during that period for the use of or the right to use any of the taxpayer’s properties during that period is not received or receivable by the taxpayer by reason of a breakdown or defect in the property during that period and before the end of the lease for the property, that amount is deemed to be an amount received or receivable, as the case may be, by the taxpayer.

s. 130R42.11; O.C. 366-94, s. 7; O.C. 134-2009, s. 1.

(a)  the taxpayer is deemed to have leased the additional property to the lessee at the particular time;

(b)  the expected term of the lease for the additional property is deemed to be greater than 1 year;

(c)  the rate of interest in effect at the particular time in respect of the additional property is deemed to be equal to the rate of interest in effect at that time in respect of the lease for the original property;

(d)  the definition of “specified leasing property” in the first paragraph of section 130R71 is, in respect of the additional property, to be read without reference to its subparagraph c; and

(e)  the amount by which the total amount receivable by the taxpayer after the particular time for the use of or the right to use the original property and the additional property exceeds the amount so receivable in respect of the original property is deemed to be an amount receivable by the taxpayer for the use of or the right to use the additional property.

336R4. For the purposes of sections 336R2 to 336R11, where the continuance of annuity payments under a contract depends in whole or in part on the survival of an individual, the following rules apply:

(a)  the aggregate of the payments expected to be made under the contract is

i.  in the case of a contract that provides for equal payments and does not provide for a guaranteed period of payment, to be equal to the product obtained by multiplying the aggregate of the annuity payments expected to be received in a year under the contract by the complete expectations of life determined

(1)  using the table of mortality known as the 1971 Individual Annuity Mortality Table as published in Volume XXIII of the Transactions of the Society of Actuaries, if the annuity rates in respect of the contract were fixed and determined before 1 January 2017 and annuity payments under the contract commenced before that date or, on 31 December 2016, the contract would be a prescribed annuity contract within the meaning of section 92.11R17 if section 92.11R17 were read without reference to its paragraph a and the contract cannot be terminated other than on the death of an individual on whose life payments under the contract are contingent, and

(2)  in any other case, using the table of mortality known as the Annuity 2000 Basic Table as published in the Transactions of Society of Actuaries, 1995–96 Reports, and

ii.  in any other case, to be computed in accordance with subparagraph i with the necessary modifications;

(b)  the age of the individual on a particular date as of which a computation is being made is

i.  if the life insured was determined by the insurer that issued the contract to be a substandard life at the time the contract was issued and the table of mortality referred to in subparagraph 2 of subparagraph i of paragraph a applies to determine the total of the payments expected to be made under the contract, the age that is equal to the total of the age used for the purpose of determining the annuity rate under the policy at the date of issue of the contract and the number determined by subtracting the calendar year in which the contract was issued from the calendar year in which the particular date occurs, and

ii.  in any other case, determined by subtracting the calendar year of the individual’s birth from the calendar year in which the particular date occurs; and

(c)  if, in the event of the death of the individual before the annual payments total a stated amount, the contract provides that the unpaid balance of the stated amount is to be paid in a lump sum or instalments, then for the purpose of determining the expected term of the contract, the contract is deemed to provide for the continuance of the payments under the contract for a minimum term certain equal to the nearest whole number of years required to complete the payment of the stated amount.

336R6. Where the individual referred to in section 336R4 dies before the total of the annual payments reaches a stated amount and the contract provides for the payment of the balance, the contract is deemed to continue the payments for a fixed duration equal to the nearest integral number of years required to complete the payment of the stated amount.

336R7. For the purposes of sections 336R2 to 336R11, but subject to sections 336R8 to 336R11, the adjusted purchase price of a taxpayer’s interest in an annuity contract at a particular time designates the amount that would be determined at that time in respect of that interest under sections 976 and 976.1 of the Act, if paragraph c of section 976.1 is disregarded.

336R8. The rules prescribed by sections 336R9 and 336R10 apply to the computation of the adjusted purchase price of a taxpayer’s interest in a life annuity contract signed before 17 November 1978 and under which annuity payments commence on the death of an individual.

The rules referred to in the first paragraph also apply in the case of an annuity contract, other than an annuity contract referred to in the first paragraph, that is a life annuity contract referred to in the first paragraph, that is a life annuity contract signed before 23 October 1968 or another annuity contract signed before 4 January 1968, under which the annuity payments commence at the end of a fixed number of years, and before the later of 1 January 1970 and the tax anniversary date of the contract.

336R9. Where an annuity contract referred to in section 336R8 provides that the annuitant may accept a lump sum payment instead of annuity payments on the date when those payments commence, that amount constitutes the adjusted purchase price of the contract.

If the contract does not provide for any lump sum, the adjusted purchase price of the contract is then equal to the amount that may be determined according to the contract as being the actual value of the annuity on the date when the annuity payments commence.

s. 336R13; O.C. 2962-82, s. 34; O.C. 500-83, s. 34; O.C. 134-2009, s. 1.

336R10. Where an annuity contract referred to in section 336R8 does not provide a lump sum and does not provide for the computation of the actual value of the annuity, the adjusted purchase price of the contract is equal to the premiums paid and accumulated with interest at the rate of 4% per annum to the date on which the annuity payments commence, if it is a contract made under the Government Annuities Act (R.S.C. 1970, c. G-6).

If the contract is not made under that Act, the adjusted purchase price of the contract is equal to the actual value of the annuity payments computed, at the date when those payments commence, in terms of interest at the rate of 4% per annum where the annuity payments commence before 1972 and 5 1/2% per annum where they commence after 1971 and, in the case of a contract referred to in section 336R4, by applying sections 336R4 to 336R7.

336R11. Where the second paragraph of section 336R8 would apply to an annuity contract if the words “on or after the later of 1 January 1970 and the tax anniversary date” were substituted for the words “before the later of 1 January 1970 and the tax anniversary date”, the adjusted purchase price of a taxpayer’s interest in an annuity contract is the greater of

(a)  the aggregate of

i.  the amount that would be determined in respect of that interest under section 336R9 or 336R10, if the date referred to in either of those sections were the tax anniversary date of the contract, and

ii.  the adjusted purchase price that would be determined in respect of that interest if, in each of paragraphs a to c, f and g of section 976 of the Act and in paragraph a of section 976.1 of the Act, the words “and after the tax anniversary date” were added immediately after the words “before the particular time”; and

(b)  the amount determined under section 336R7 in respect of that interest.

(e)  where, at a particular time after 21 November 1985, the terms and conditions of a share are modified, any existing agreement in respect of the share is modified or a new agreement in respect of the share is entered into, the share is, for the purpose of determining whether it is a prescribed share, deemed to have been issued at that particular time; and

(f)  the determination of whether a share of the capital stock of a corporation is a prescribed share for the purposes of section 726.14R1 is made without reference to a right or obligation to redeem, acquire or cancel the share or to cause the share to be redeemed, acquired or cancelled where

i.  the share was issued pursuant to an employee share purchase agreement to an employee, referred to in this paragraph as the “holder”, of the corporation or of a corporation with which it does not deal at arm’s length,

ii.  the holder was dealing at arm’s length with each corporation referred to in subparagraph i at the time the share was issued, and

iii.  having regard to all the circumstances, including the terms of the agreement, it may reasonably be considered that

(1)  the amount payable on the redemption, acquisition or cancellation, referred to in this subparagraph and in subparagraph 2 as the “acquisition”, of the share will not exceed the adjusted cost base of the share to the holder immediately before the acquisition, where the acquisition is provided for in the agreement primarily in order to protect the holder against any loss in respect of the share, or the fair market value of the share immediately before the acquisition, where the acquisition is provided for in the agreement primarily in order to provide the holder with a market for the share, and

(2)  no portion of the amount payable on the acquisition of the share is directly determinable by reference to the profits of the corporation, or of another corporation with which it does not deal at arm’s length, for all or any part of the period during which the holder owned the share or had a right to acquire the share, unless the reference to the profits of the corporation or the other corporation is only for the purpose of determining the fair market value of the share pursuant to a formula set out in the agreement.

O.C. 390-2012, s. 64.

DIVISION I INTERPRETATION

O.C. 390-2012, s. 64.

851.22.4R1. In this chapter,

“fixed payment obligation” of a taxpayer means a specified debt obligation under which

(a)  the amount and timing of each payment to be made by the debtor, other than a fee or similar payment or an amount payable because of a default by the debtor, were fixed when the taxpayer acquired the obligation and have not been changed; and

(b)  all payments are to be made in the same currency;

“primary currency” of a specified debt obligation means the currency with which the obligation is primarily connected or, if there is no such currency, Canadian currency;

“specified debt obligation” has the meaning assigned by the first paragraph of section 851.22.1 of the Act;

“tax basis” of a specified debt obligation at any time to a taxpayer has the meaning assigned by section 851.22.7 of the Act;

“total return” of a taxpayer from a fixed payment obligation means the amount, measured in the primary currency of the obligation, by which the total of all amounts each of which is the amount of a payment, other than a fee or similar payment, required to be made by the debtor under the obligation after its acquisition by the taxpayer, exceeds the cost to the taxpayer of the obligation.

O.C. 390-2012, s. 64.

DIVISION II AMOUNTS TO INCLUDE OR DEDUCT IN COMPUTING INCOME

O.C. 390-2012, s. 64.

851.22.4R2. For the purposes of paragraph a of section 851.22.4 of the Act, where a taxpayer holds a specified debt obligation at any time in a taxation year, the amount prescribed to be included in computing the taxpayer’s income in respect of the obligation for the year is the total of

(a)  the taxpayer’s accrued return from the obligation for the year;

(b)  if the taxpayer’s accrual adjustment determined under Division III in respect of the obligation for the year is greater than nil, the amount of the adjustment; and

(c)  if a foreign exchange adjustment is determined under Division V in respect of the obligation for the year and is greater than nil, the amount of the adjustment.

O.C. 390-2012, s. 64.

851.22.4R3. For the purposes of paragraph b of section 851.22.4 of the Act, where a taxpayer holds a specified debt obligation at any time in a taxation year, the amount prescribed to be deducted in computing the taxpayer’s income in respect of the obligation for the year is the total of

O.C. 390-2012, s. 64.

DIVISION III GENERAL ACCRUAL RULES

O.C. 390-2012, s. 64.

851.22.4R4. For the purposes of paragraph a of section 851.22.4R2, a taxpayer’s accrued return for a taxation year from a fixed payment obligation under which each payment required to be made before the end of the year was made by the debtor when it was required to be made, is determined in accordance with the following steps:

(a)  determine, in the primary currency of the obligation, the portion of the taxpayer’s total return from the obligation that is allocated to each day in the year using

i.  the level-yield method described in section 851.22.4R5, or

ii.  any other reasonable method that is substantially similar to the level-yield method;

(b)  if the primary currency of the obligation is not Canadian currency, translate to Canadian currency the amount allocated to each day in the year as provided in paragraph a, using a reasonable method of translation; and

(c)  determine the total of all amounts each of which is the Canadian currency amount allocated to a day, in the year, at the beginning of which the taxpayer holds the obligation.

O.C. 390-2012, s. 64.

851.22.4R5. For the purposes of section 851.22.4R4, the level-yield method for allocating a taxpayer’s total return from a fixed payment obligation is the method that allocates, to each particular day in the period that begins on the day following the day on which the taxpayer acquired the obligation and that ends on the day on which the obligation matures, the amount determined by the formula

(A + B − C) × D.

In the formula in the first paragraph,

(a)  A is the cost of the obligation to the taxpayer expressed in the primary currency of the obligation;

(b)  B is the total of all amounts each of which is the portion of the taxpayer’s total return from the obligation that is allocated to a day before the particular day;

(c)  C is the total of all amounts each of which is a payment required to be made under the obligation after it was acquired by the taxpayer and before the particular day; and

(d)  D is the rate of interest per day that, if used in computing the present value, as of the end of the day on which the taxpayer acquired the obligation and based on daily compounding, of all payments to be made by the debtor under the obligation after it was acquired by the taxpayer, produces a present value equal to the cost to the taxpayer of the obligation, expressed in the primary currency of the obligation.

O.C. 390-2012, s. 64.

851.22.4R6. For the purposes of paragraph a of section 851.22.4R2, a taxpayer’s accrued return for a taxation year from a specified debt obligation, other than an obligation to which section 851.22.4R4 applies, is determined

(a)  using a reasonable method that,

i.  taking into account the extent to which the obligation differs from fixed payment obligations, is consistent with the principles implicit in the methods that can be used under section 851.22.4R4 for fixed payment obligations, and

ii.  is in accordance with generally accepted accounting practice for the measurement of profit from debt obligations; and

(b)  on the basis of reasonable assumptions with respect to the timing and amount of any payments to be made by the debtor under the obligation that are not fixed in their timing or amount, expressed in the primary currency of the obligation.

O.C. 390-2012, s. 64.

851.22.4R7. For the purposes of paragraph b of section 851.22.4R2 and paragraph a of section 851.22.4R3, if section 851.22.4 of the Act applies to a taxpayer for a particular taxation year in respect of a specified debt obligation and either that section did not apply in respect of the obligation for the taxpayer’s immediately preceding taxation year or the taxpayer did not own the obligation at the end of that immediately preceding taxation year, the taxpayer’s accrual adjustment in respect of the obligation for the particular taxation year is nil.

O.C. 390-2012, s. 64.

851.22.4R8. For the purposes of paragraph b of section 851.22.4R2 and paragraph a of section 851.22.4R3, if section 851.22.4R7 does not apply to determine a taxpayer’s accrual adjustment in respect of a specified debt obligation for a particular taxation year, the taxpayer’s accrual adjustment is the positive or negative amount determined by the formula

A − B.

In the formula in the first paragraph,

(a)  A is the total of all amounts each of which is the amount that would be the taxpayer’s accrued return from the obligation for a taxation year, before the particular taxation year, for which section 851.22.4 of the Act applied to the taxpayer in respect of the obligation, if the accrued return were redetermined on the basis of

i.  the information available at the end of the particular taxation year, and

ii.  the assumptions, if any, with respect to the timing and amount of payments to be made under the obligation after the particular taxation year that were used for the purpose of determining the taxpayer’s accrued return from the obligation for the particular taxation year; and

(b)  B is the total of

i.  the taxpayer’s accrued return from the obligation for the taxation year immediately preceding the particular taxation year, determined under paragraph a of section 851.22.4R2, and

ii.  if the taxpayer’s accrual adjustment in respect of the obligation for that immediately preceding taxation year was determined under this section, the total referred to in paragraph a for the purpose of determining that accrual adjustment.

DIVISION IV SPECIAL CASES AND TRANSITIONAL RULES

O.C. 390-2012, s. 64.

851.22.4R10. For the purposes of Division III, if the terms of a specified debt obligation of a taxpayer give the taxpayer the right to exchange the obligation for shares of the debtor or of a corporation related to the debtor,

(a)  subject to paragraph b, the right is disregarded, whether it has been exercised or not; and

(b)  if 5% or more of the cost of the obligation to the taxpayer is attributable to the right, the cost of the obligation to the taxpayer is deemed to equal the amount by which the cost otherwise determined exceeds the portion of the cost attributable to the right.

O.C. 390-2012, s. 64.

851.22.4R11. For the purpose of computing an amount under Division III in respect of a specified debt obligation for a taxation year of a taxpayer that ends before 1 October 1997, no reduction is to be made on account of the possible or actual failure of the debtor to make any payments under the obligation.

O.C. 390-2012, s. 64.

851.22.4R12. If the terms of a specified debt obligation of a taxpayer are amended at any time in a taxation year of the taxpayer to change the timing or amount of any payment to be made, at or after that time under the obligation, the taxpayer’s accrued returns for the taxation year and for each subsequent taxation year are to be redetermined under Division III using a reasonable method that fully gives effect, in those accrued returns, to the alteration to the payments under the obligation.

O.C. 390-2012, s. 64.

851.22.4R13. If a taxpayer held a specified debt obligation at the beginning of the taxpayer’s first taxation year, referred to in this section as the “initial year”, for which section 851.22.4 of the Act applied to the taxpayer in respect of the obligation, the following rules apply:

(a)  the taxpayer’s accrued return from the obligation for the initial year or a subsequent taxation year does not include an amount to the extent that the amount was included in computing the taxpayer’s income for a taxation year preceding the initial year; and

(b)  if interest on the obligation in respect of a period before the initial year becomes receivable or is received by the taxpayer in a particular taxation year that is the initial year or a subsequent taxation year, and all or part of the interest would not, but for this section, be included in computing the taxpayer’s income for any taxation year, the taxpayer must include in determining the taxpayer’s accrued return from the obligation for the particular taxation year the amount, if any, by which the portion of the interest that would not otherwise be included in computing the taxpayer’s income for any taxation year exceeds the portion of the cost of the obligation to the taxpayer that is reasonably attributable to that portion of the interest.

O.C. 390-2012, s. 64.

851.22.4R14. If, before 1 November 1994 and in a taxation year that ended after 22 February 1994, a taxpayer received an amount under a specified debt obligation in satisfaction, in whole or in part, of the debtor’s obligation to pay interest in respect of a period after the taxation year,

(a)  the amount may, at the election of the taxpayer, be included in determining the taxpayer’s accrued return for the taxation year from the obligation; and

(b)  if an amount is included in determining the taxpayer’s accrued return from the obligation pursuant to paragraph a, no amount in respect of interest that, because of the payment of the amount, the debtor is no longer required to pay may be included in determining the taxpayer’s accrued returns for subsequent taxation years from the obligation.

O.C. 390-2012, s. 64.

DIVISION V FOREIGN EXCHANGE ADJUSTMENT

O.C. 390-2012, s. 64.

851.22.4R15. For the purposes of paragraph c of section 851.22.4R2 and paragraph b of section 851.22.4R3, if, at the end of a taxation year, a taxpayer holds a specified debt obligation the primary currency of which is not Canadian currency, the taxpayer’s foreign exchange adjustment in respect of the obligation for the taxation year is the positive or negative amount determined by the formula

(A × B) − C.

In the formula in the first paragraph,

(a)  A is the amount that would be the tax basis of the specified debt obligation to the taxpayer at the end of the year if

i.  the tax basis were determined using the primary currency of the obligation as the currency in which all amounts are expressed,

ii.  the definition of “tax basis” in section 851.22.7 of the Act were read without reference to paragraphs f and h and section 851.22.8 of the Act were read without reference to paragraphs g and i, and

iii.  the taxpayer’s foreign exchange adjustment in respect of the obligation for each year were nil;

(b)  B is the rate of exchange at the end of the year of the primary currency of the obligation into Canadian currency; and

(c)  C is the amount that would be the tax basis of the obligation to the taxpayer at the end of the year if

ii.  the taxpayer’s foreign exchange adjustment in respect of the obligation for the year were nil.

O.C. 390-2012, s. 64.

851.22.4R16. If a taxpayer disposes of a specified debt obligation the primary currency of which is not Canadian currency, the taxpayer’s foreign exchange adjustment in respect of the obligation for the taxation year in which the disposition occurs is the amount that would be the taxpayer’s foreign exchange adjustment in respect of the obligation if the taxation year had ended immediately before the disposition.

O.C. 390-2012, s. 64.

(a)  if neither subparagraph b nor c applies, nil;

(b)  if the taxpayer acquired the obligation before its taxation year that includes 23 February 1994, neither section 92.5R5 nor section 92.5R6 has applied to the obligation, and the principal amount of the obligation exceeds the cost of the obligation to the taxpayer, the amount determined by the formula

851.22.11R2. Subject to Division III, if section 851.22.11 of the Act applies to the disposition of a specified debt obligation by a taxpayer, the amount allocated to each taxation year in respect of the residual portion of the gain or loss from the disposition is determined, for the purposes of paragraphs c and d of that section,

(a)  by a method that complies with, or is substantially similar to a method that complies with, section 851.22.11R3; or

(b)  if gains and losses from the disposition of debt obligations are amortized to profit for the purpose of the taxpayer’s financial statements, by the method used for the purpose of the taxpayer’s financial statements.

O.C. 390-2012, s. 64.

851.22.11R3. A method for allocating to taxation years in respect of the residual portion of a taxpayer’s gain or loss from the disposition of a specified debt obligation, is a method referred to in paragraph a of section 851.22.11R2 if the amount allocated to each taxation year is determined by the formula

A × B/C.

In the formula in the first paragraph,

(a)  A is the residual portion of the taxpayer’s gain or loss;

(b)  B is the number of days in the taxation year that are in the period referred to in subparagraph c; and

O.C. 390-2012, s. 64.

851.22.11R4. The period to which subparagraph i of subparagraph c of the second paragraph of section 851.22.11R3 refers, in respect of a group of specified debt obligations disposed of by a taxpayer in a transaction in a taxation year, is the period that begins on the day of disposition of the obligations and ends on the weighted average amortization date for those obligations so disposed of to which section 851.22.11 of the Act applies, if

(a)  the taxpayer has elected in its return of income for the taxation year to have this section apply in respect of the obligations so disposed of;

(b)  all the obligations so disposed of were disposed of at the same time; and

DIVISION II LIFE ANNUITY CONTRACTS

div. II; O.C. 7-87, s. 16; O.C. 134-2009, s. 1.

966R2. For the purposes of section 966 of the Act, a life annuity contract means a contract between an individual and a person licensed or otherwise authorized by the laws of Canada or of a province to carry on in Canada an annuities business under which that person agrees to make annuity payments to one person or partnership, referred to in this section and in sections 966R3 and 966R4 as “annuitant”, or jointly to two or more annuitants.

s. 966R2; O.C. 7-87, s. 16; O.C. 134-2009, s. 1; O.C. 701-2013, s. 48.

966R3. To qualify as a life annuity contract, the contract must specify that the annuity payments covered by section 966R2 will begin on a specific date and will be paid annually or at more frequent periodic intervals to the annuitant throughout the lifetimes of one or more individuals, each of whom is referred to in section 966R4 as “identified individual”.

s. 966R3; O.C. 7-87, s. 16; O.C. 134-2009, s. 1; O.C. 701-2013, s. 48.

966R4. A life annuity contract does not cease to qualify as such by reason only of containing provisions to the effect that

(a)  the annuitant or the holder may transfer the annuity payments;

(b)  the annuity payments will end after a specified period of not less than 10 years or, if the identified individual dies before the end of that period, on the identified individual’s death;

(c)  the annuity payments will be paid to the annuitant throughout the lifetime of the identified individual or for a longer guaranteed time and, in the latter case, the payments will be made to a specified person;

(d)  an additional payment will be made on the death of the identified individual;

(e)  the annuitant or the holder may, at annuitant’s discretion, amend, in respect of the entire contract or part of it, the date on which the annuity payments begin or the date on which the holder becomes eligible to receive the proceeds of the disposition; or

(f)  all or part of the proceeds to be paid at a particular time under the contract may be received in the form of an annuity contract other than a life annuity contract.

s. 966R4; O.C. 7-87, s. 16; O.C. 134-2009, s. 1; O.C. 701-2013, s. 49.

div. IV; O.C. 7-87, s. 16; O.C. 134-2009, s. 1.

976R2. For the purposes of paragraph h of section 976 of the Act, a mortality gain, immediately before the end of a calendar year ending after 31 December 1982, in respect of a taxpayer’s interest in a life annuity contract means the reasonable amount, in respect of the taxpayer’s interest at that time, that the life insurer determines to be the increase in the accumulating fund in respect of the interest, occurring during that year and attributable to the survival, at the end of the year, of an annuitant under the contract.

s. 976R2; O.C. 7-87, s. 16; O.C. 134-2009, s. 1.

976R3. In calculating an amount referred to in section 976R2 for a year in respect of an interest in a life annuity contract, the expected value of mortality gains in respect of the interest for the year must be equal to the expected value of the mortality losses in respect of the interest for the year and the mortality rates used for the year in calculating the expected values must be those that would be appropriate to the interest and that are specified in any of paragraphs a to c of section 840R23.

(a)  if the policy is issued before 1 January 2017, the time of its issue being determined at the end of the year, the amount determined by the formula

A × (B – C); or

(b)  if the policy is issued after 31 December 2016, the time of its issue being determined at the end of the year, the aggregate of all amounts each of which is an amount determined in respect of a coverage in respect of the interest by the formula

D × (E − F).

In the formulas in the first paragraph,

(a)  A is the probability, computed on the basis of the rates of mortality under the 1969‑1975 mortality tables published in Volume XVI of the Proceedings of the Canadian Institute of Actuaries, or on the basis described in section 976.1R1.1, that an individual who has the same characteristics as the individual whose life is insured will die in the year;

(b)  B is the death benefit in respect of the interest at the end of the year;

(c)  C is, depending on the method regularly followed by the life insurer in computing the net cost of pure insurance, either the accumulating fund in respect of the interest at the end of the year, determined without reference to an outstanding policy loan, or the interest’s cash surrender value at the end of the year;

(d)  D is the probability, computed on the basis of the rates of mortality determined under subparagraph b of the first paragraph of section 92.11R12.1, or on the basis described in section 976.1R1.2, that an individual whose life is insured under the coverage will die in the year;

(e)  E is the death benefit under the coverage in respect of the interest at the end of the year; and

(f)  F is the aggregate of

i.  the portion, in respect of the coverage in respect of the interest, of the amount that would be the present value, determined for the purposes of Division II of Chapter IV of Title XI, on the last policy anniversary that is on or before the last day of the year, of the fund value of the coverage if the fund value of the coverage were equal to the fund value of the coverage at the end of the year, and

ii.  the portion, in respect of the coverage in respect of the interest, of the amount that would be determined on that policy anniversary under subparagraph c of the fourth paragraph of section 92.11R1.1 in respect of the coverage, if the death benefit under the coverage, and the fund value of the coverage, on that policy anniversary were equal to the death benefit under the coverage and the fund value of the coverage, respectively, at the end of the year.

976.1R1.1. Where premiums for a life insurance policy do not depend directly on smoking or sex classification, the probability referred to in subparagraph a of the second paragraph of section 976.1R1 may be determined using rates of mortality otherwise determined, provided that for each age for the policy, the expected value of the aggregate net cost of pure insurance, calculated using those rates of mortality, is equal to the expected value of the aggregate net cost of pure insurance, calculated using the rates of mortality under the 1969–1975 mortality tables published in Volume XVI of the Proceedings of the Canadian Institute of Actuaries.

1029.8.61.19R1. The rules to which section 1029.8.61.19 of the Act refers for the purpose of determining if a child has an impairment or a mental function disability that substantially limits the child in performing the life habits of a child of his or her age during a foreseeable period of at least one year are those set out in sections 1029.8.61.19R2 to 1029.8.61.19R6.

For the purposes of the first paragraph, life habits are the life habits that a child should perform, for the child’s age, to take care of himself or herself and participate in social life and that consist of nutrition, personal care, mobility, communication, interpersonal relationships, responsibilities and education.

s. 1029.8.61.19R1; O.C. 1249-2005, s. 41; O.C. 134-2009, s. 1; S.Q. 2017, c. 29, s. 260.

1029.8.61.19R2. A child whose condition during a foreseeable period of at least one year corresponds to any of the cases specified in Schedule A is presumed to be handicapped within the meaning of section 1029.8.61.19R1.

In all other cases, the extent of the child’s limitations in performing the life habits of a child of his or her age is to be assessed on the basis of the outcome, for the child’s life habits in his or her various living environments, of the interaction between the following criteria:

(a)  the disabilities resulting from the impairment or the mental function disability; and

(b)  the environmental factors as facilitators of, or barriers to, the performance of life habits.

s. 1029.8.61.19R2; O.C. 1249-2005, s. 41; O.C. 134-2009, s. 1; S.Q. 2017, c. 29, s. 261.

1029.8.61.19R3. A child whose condition corresponds to a case mentioned in Schedule A is not presumed to be handicapped within the meaning of section 1029.8.61.19R1 if the child is covered by an exclusion prescribed in that Schedule for that case or if the assessment parameters prescribed in that Schedule in relation to that case are not complied with.

s. 1029.8.61.19R3; O.C. 1249-2005, s. 41; O.C. 134-2009, s. 1; S.Q. 2017, c. 29, s. 262.

1029.8.61.19R4. An impairment is manifested by a persistent histological, anatomical or metabolic alteration of any of the organ systems or by the persistent alteration of the corresponding physiological function.

The alteration must be confirmed by objective signs through a physical examination, biological tests or medical imaging or, for the visual system or the hearing system, a recognized measurement of visual acuity or hearing. The results must be attested to by a member of a professional order.

s. 1029.8.61.19R4; O.C. 1249-2005, s. 41; O.C. 134-2009, s. 1; S.Q. 2017, c. 29, s. 262.

1029.8.61.19R5. A mental function disability is manifested by clinically significant and persistent disturbances in a child’s cognition, language, behaviour and emotional regulation that hinder or delay the integration of experiences and learning or compromise the child’s adaptation.

The disability must be assessed by a member of a professional order according to the practice guides and guidelines established by the professional order to which the member belongs.

The assessment report must include, among other things, an anamnesis, an analysis of the results of the normalized tests, the observations obtained from significant persons on the child’s functioning in his or her various living environments and a description of the child’s abilities and disabilities in connection with the diagnosed disability.

Where a normalized test is used, the derived score must be expressed in percentiles, standard deviations or quotients and the confidence interval must be stated in the professional’s report.

A normalized test is a test where the raw score is converted into a relative measure that allows the child’s profile to be ranked in relation to a normative group.

If the profile of the child assessed does not directly correspond to the normative group of reference for the tests used due to language or culture, the professional’s report must include a qualitative analysis describing the child’s abilities and disabilities to allow the corroboration of the scores obtained on the tests.

s. 1029.8.61.19R5; O.C. 1249-2005, s. 41; O.C. 134-2009, s. 1; S.Q. 2017, c. 29, s. 262.

1029.8.61.19R6. Impairments and mental function disabilities are not presumed to substantially limit the performance of life habits of a child before the beginning of diagnostic intervention, or if they affect a function that is not yet developed in a healthy child.

If a child’s state of health can be improved by a therapeutic intervention, recognized by the scientific community, the extent of the child’s limitations in performing the life habits of a child of his or her age is assessed once the treatment is implemented.

If required for assessing a premature infant’s condition, the age of the infant is adjusted by subtracting the number of weeks of prematurity.

1079.1R3. For the purposes of the definition of “tax shelter” in the first paragraph of section 1079.1 of the Act, a prescribed benefit in relation to an interest in a property means any amount that may reasonably be expected, having regard to statements or representations made in respect of the interest, to be received or enjoyed by a person, in this section referred to as “the purchaser”, who acquires the interest, or a person with whom the purchaser does not deal at arm’s length, which receipt or enjoyment would have the effect of reducing the impact of any loss that the purchaser may sustain in respect of the interest, and includes the amounts described in the second paragraph, but, subject to subparagraph ii of subparagraph b of that paragraph, does not include profits earned in respect of the interest.

The amounts mentioned in the first paragraph are in reference to

(a)  an amount owed, immediately or in the future, by the purchaser, or a person with whom the purchaser does not deal at arm’s length, to any other person to the extent that

i.  liability to pay that amount is contingent,

ii.  payment of that amount is or will be guaranteed, security is or will be provided in respect of the amount or an agreement to indemnify the other person to whom the amount is owed is or will be entered into by one of the following persons:

(1)  a promoter in respect of the interest,

(2)  a person with whom the promoter does not deal at arm’s length, or

(3)  a person who is to receive a payment, other than a payment made by the purchaser, in respect of the guarantee, security or agreement to indemnity,

iii.  the rights of that other person against the purchaser, or against a person with whom the purchaser does not deal at arm’s length, in respect of the collection of all or part of the purchase price, are limited to a maximum amount, are enforceable only against certain property, or are otherwise limited by agreement, or

iv.  payment of that amount is to be made in a foreign currency or is to be determined by reference to its value in a foreign currency and it may reasonably be considered, having regard to the history of the exchange rate between the foreign currency and Canadian currency, that the aggregate of all such payments, when converted to Canadian currency at the exchange rate expected to prevail at the date on which each such payment would be required to be made, will be substantially less than that aggregate would be if each such payment was converted to Canadian currency at the time that each such payment became owing;

(b)  an amount that the purchaser or a person with whom the purchaser does not deal at arm’s length is entitled at any time to receive, directly or indirectly, or to have available

i.  as a form of assistance from a government, municipality or other public authority, whether as a subsidy, grant, forgiveable loan, deduction from tax, other than an amount described in subparagraph b of the second paragraph of section 1079.1 of the Act, or investment allowance, or as any other form of assistance, or

ii.  by reason of a revenue guarantee or other agreement in respect of which revenue may be earned by the purchaser or a person with whom the purchaser does not deal at arm’s length, to the extent that the revenue guarantee or other agreement may reasonably be considered to ensure that the purchaser or person will receive a return of all or a portion of the purchaser’s outlays in respect of the interest;

(c)  an amount that is the proceeds of disposition to which the purchaser is entitled by way of an agreement or other arrangement under which the purchaser has a right, either absolutely or contingently, to dispose of the interest, otherwise than as a consequence of the purchaser’s death, including the fair market value of any property that the agreement or arrangement provides for the acquisition of in exchange for all or any part of the interest; and

(d)  an amount that is owed to a promoter, or a person with whom the promoter does not deal at arm’s length, by the purchaser or a person with whom the purchaser does not deal at arm’s length in respect of the acquisition of the interest.

(a)  solely because it is not required to be repaid within 10 years from the time the indebtedness arose where the debtor would, if the interest were acquired by the debtor immediately after that time, be

i.  a partnership at least 90% of the fair market value of the property of which is attributable to the partnership’s corporeal capital property located in Canada, and at least 90% of the value of all interests in which are held by limited partners within the meaning of section 613.6 of the Act, except where it is reasonable to conclude that one of the main reasons for the acquisition of one or more properties by the partnership, or for the acquisition of one or more interests in the partnership by limited partners, is to avoid the application of this section, or

ii.  a member of a particular partnership having fewer than 6 members, except where

(1)  the particular partnership is a member of another partnership,

(2)  there is a limited partner, within the meaning of section 613.6 of the Act, of the particular partnership,

(3)  less than 90% of the fair market value of the particular partnership’s property is attributable to the particular partnership’s corporeal capital property located in Canada, or

(4)  it is reasonable to conclude that one of the main reasons for the existence of a partnership that is a member of a group of partnerships, one of which is the particular partnership, or for the acquisition of one or more properties by the particular partnership, is to avoid the application of this Title to the member’s indebtedness;

(b)  of a partnership where

i.  the indebtedness is secured by and used to acquire the partnership’s corporeal capital property located in Canada, other than specified energy property within the meaning of section 130R51, rental property within the meaning of section 130R88 and leasing property within the meaning of section 130R93,

ii.  the person to whom the indebtedness is repayable is a member of the Canadian Payments Association, and

iii.  throughout the period during which any amount is outstanding in respect of the indebtedness, except where it is reasonable to conclude that one of the main reasons for the acquisition of one or more properties by the partnership, or for the acquisition of one or more interests in the partnership by limited partners, is to avoid the application of this section,

(1)  at least 90% of the fair market value of the property of the partnership is attributable to corporeal capital property located in Canada of the partnership,

(2)  at least 90% of the value of all interests in the partnership are held by limited partners, within the meaning of section 613.6 of the Act, that are corporations, and

(3)  the principal business of each limited partner referred to in subparagraph 2 is related to the principal business of the partnership; or

(c)  of a corporation where the amount is a bona fide business loan made to the corporation for the purpose of financing a business that the corporation operates and the loan is made pursuant to a loan program of the Government of Canada or of a province the purpose of which is to extend financing to small and medium-sized Canadian businesses.

Assessment parameters

Hearing loss is measured by taking into account the average threshold of pure sound at 500, 1,000, 2,000 and 4,000 Hz.

If the hearing is not measured by tonal audiometry, the data enabling the reliability of the method used to be assessed must be specified in the expert’s report.

The assessment must show the child’s usual level of hearing. It must not be carried out in the case of temporary conduction deafness, such as otitis media.

Exclusion

A child in respect of whom a central auditory processing disorder is inferred is not presumed to be handicapped unless an assessment of the child’s difficulties, using standardized tests, shows results comparable to those of the cases referred to in Tables 2.1 to 2.5 on developmental disabilities.

Specific rule

A child is not presumed to be handicapped before the first reliable measurement of hearing loss.

Presumed cases of serious handicap

A child is presumed to be handicapped within the meaning of section 1029.8.61.19R1 in the following cases:

(a) the child is 2 years of age or over and does not have at least 4 of the following prelinguistic skills:

- joint attention;

- motor imitation;

- oral imitation;

- use of communicative gestures;

(c) the child is 3 years of age or over and has a persistent inability to pronounce words having 2 different syllables;

(d) the child is at least 4 years of age and less than 6 years of age, the scores obtained on formal assessment tests are corroborated by a qualitative analysis of the child’s daily language skills and

- with respect to receptive language, the child obtains scores that are equal to or below the 5th percentile on at least 3 tests normalized for the child’s population group and obtains no scores above the 5th percentile on any other test; or

- with respect to expressive language, at least 2 of the following language components are impaired:

• regarding vocabulary, the child obtains scores that are equal to or below the 5th percentile on at least one test normalized for the child’s population group;

• regarding production of sounds, the child persistently and frequently makes a wide range of mistakes that are unusual for his or her age, making the child’s speech unintelligible most of the time;

• regarding sentence structure, the child’s statements are agrammatical and do not contain more than 3 or 4 words;

(e) the child is 6 years of age or over, the scores obtained on formal assessment tests are corroborated by a qualitative analysis of the child’s daily language skills and

- with respect to receptive language, the child obtains scores that are equal to or below the 5th percentile on at least 3 tests normalized for the child’s population group and obtains no scores above the 5th percentile on any other test; or

- with respect to expressive language, at least 2 of the following language components are impaired:

• regarding vocabulary, the child obtains scores that are equal to or below the 5th percentile on at least one test normalized for the child’s population group;

• regarding production of sounds, the child persistently and frequently makes a wide range of mistakes that are unusual for his or her age, making the child’s speech unintelligible most of the time;

(g) the child is at least 15 years of age and the child’s oral or written language disorder delays his or her acquisition of reading and mathematics skills, which are no longer progressing beyond the second cycle of elementary education despite continuous schooling.

Assessment parameters

The language disorder must be assessed by a speech-language pathologist in accordance with the applicable standards of practice.

A speech-language pathology report for a particular case must describe the child’s language skills for a period that may not precede the time the child reaches the minimum age prescribed for that case. The report must also describe interpreted data of the assessment of communication, speech and all the components of receptive and expressive language. The analysis is corroborated by more than one document, in particular by intervention plans at a childcare establishment, school or rehabilitation centre.

In the cases prescribed in paragraphs d and e, the 3 formal tests referred to respecting receptive language must demonstrate different aspects of comprehension. In that respect, a subtest that allows demonstrating a specific aspect of comprehension may count as a test.

In the case of children exposed to more than one language, the attending speech-language pathologist interprets the child’s language data by taking explicit account of the multilingualism context, and the following information must be on file:

- the mother tongue or tongues, the language or languages commonly used and the dominant language or languages;

- the age of exposure, and the duration and percentage of exposure, to each of the languages.

Exclusion

A child who is assessed only in a language he or she is learning is not presumed to be handicapped due to language disorders, unless the child has been exposed on a sustained basis to that language for a period of at least 2 years. In that respect, a child will be considered to be exposed on a sustained basis to the language he or she is learning if, for at least 40% of the child’s waking hours, the child interacts with a person who is proficient in that language.
