1129.4.10.1. Every corporation that is deemed to have paid an amount to the Minister, under section 1029.8.36.0.25, on account of its tax payable under Part I, in relation to acquisition costs incurred in respect of qualified property, shall pay the tax referred to in the second paragraph for a taxation year, in this section referred to as the “particular year”, if, at any time in the period described in the third paragraph the property ceases, otherwise than by reason of its loss, the involuntary destruction of the property by fire, theft or water, a major breakdown of the property or its obsolescence, to be used by the corporation principally in a qualified centre.
The tax to which the first paragraph refers is equal to the amount by which the aggregate of all amounts each of which is an amount that the corporation is deemed to have paid to the Minister under section 1029.8.36.0.25 or 1029.8.36.0.32, in relation to the acquisition costs, exceeds the aggregate of all amounts each of which is a tax that the corporation is required to pay to the Minister under section 1129.4.10, for a taxation year preceding the particular year, in relation to the acquisition costs.
The period to which the first paragraph refers is the period that begins the day after the corporation’s filing-due date for the taxation year preceding the particular year and ends on the earlier of the last day of the three-year period following the beginning of the use of the property by the corporation and the corporation’s filing-due date for the particular year.
In addition, if a corporation carried on or could carry on its business in an information technology development centre in a taxation year that begins before 21 December 2001 for which the corporation is deemed to have paid an amount to the Minister in respect of acquisition costs or rental expenses under section 1029.8.36.0.6, as it read for that taxation year, the first and second paragraphs, subject to the fifth paragraph, shall be read as follows:“1129.4.10.1. Every corporation that is deemed to have paid an amount to the Minister, under section 1029.8.36.0.6 or 1029.8.36.0.25, on account of its tax payable under Part I, in relation to acquisition costs incurred in respect of qualified property, shall pay the tax referred to in the second paragraph for a taxation year, in this section referred to as the “particular year”, if, at any time in the period described in the third paragraph the property ceases, otherwise than by reason of its loss, the involuntary destruction of the property by fire, theft or water, a major breakdown of the property or its obsolescence, to be used by the corporation principally in an information technology development centre.
The tax to which the first paragraph refers is equal to the amount by which the aggregate of all amounts each of which is an amount that the corporation is deemed to have paid to the Minister in relation to the acquisition costs, under section 1029.8.36.0.6 or 1029.8.36.0.11 or under section 1029.8.36.0.25 or 1029.8.36.0.32, exceeds the aggregate of all amounts each of which is a tax that the corporation is required to pay to the Minister in relation to the acquisition costs, for a taxation year preceding the particular year, under section 1129.4.10 or under section 1129.4.4.2, as it read for that preceding taxation year.”
In the text of the first and second paragraphs of this section enacted by the fourth paragraph, a reference to section 1029.8.36.0.6 or 1029.8.36.0.11 shall be a reference to that section as it read for a taxation year in which an amount is deemed to have been paid under that section.
For the purposes of this section, where, at any time, a corporation disposes of qualified property for proceeds of disposition equal to or greater than 10% of the cost of acquiring it, the corporation is deemed not to have ceased to use, at that time, the property by reason of its obsolescence; in that respect, where the parties to the sale are not dealing with each other at arm’s length, the proceeds of disposition of the property are deemed to be equal to its fair market value.
