(b)  references to marriage shall be read as if a conjugal relationship between two individuals who are, because of subparagraph a or of a civil union, spouses of each other were a marriage;

A copy of every document sent to the Minister of National Revenue in connection with the election referred to in the third paragraph must be filed with the Minister on or before the taxpayer’s and the person’s filing-due date for the taxation year that includes 21 October 2015.

CHAPTER I.1 RULES RELATING TO GIFTS

2009, c. 5, s. 23.

7.20. The existence of an amount of an advantage in respect of a transfer of property does not disqualify the transfer from being a gift to a qualified donee, provided that

(a)  the amount of the advantage does not exceed 80% of the fair market value of the transferred property; or

(b)  the transferor of the property establishes to the satisfaction of the Minister that the transfer was made with the intention to make a gift.

2009, c. 5, s. 23.

7.21. The eligible amount of a gift is equal to the amount by which the fair market value of the property that is the subject of the gift exceeds the amount of the advantage, if any, in respect of the gift.

However, if a taxpayer disposes of the bare ownership of a work of art or of a cultural property described in the third paragraph of section 232 in the course of a recognized gift with reserve of usufruct or use, the eligible amount of the gift is equal to the amount by which the fair market value of the gift, determined under the rules of paragraph b of section 710.4 or 752.0.10.4.2, exceeds the amount of the advantage in respect of the gift, other than the usufruct or right of use.

2009, c. 5, s. 23.

7.22. The amount of the advantage in respect of a gift made by a taxpayer is equal to the aggregate of

(a)  the aggregate of all amounts, other than an amount referred to in paragraph b, each of which is an amount equal to the value, at the time the gift is made, of a property, service, compensation, use or other benefit that the taxpayer, or a person or partnership who does not deal at arm’s length with the taxpayer, has received, obtained or enjoyed, or is entitled, either immediately or in the future and either absolutely or contingently, to receive, obtain, or enjoy

i.  that is consideration for the gift,

ii.  that is in gratitude for the gift, or

iii.  that is in any other way related to the gift; and

(b)  the limited-recourse debt, determined under section 851.41.1, in respect of the gift at the time the gift is made.

2009, c. 5, s. 23.

7.23. The cost to a taxpayer of a property, acquired by the taxpayer in circumstances where section 7.22 applies to include the value of the property in computing the amount of the advantage in respect of a gift, is equal to the fair market value of the property at the time the gift is made.

2009, c. 5, s. 23.

7.24. If at any time in a taxation year a taxpayer has paid an amount (in this section referred to as the “repaid amount”), on account of the principal amount of an indebtedness which was, before that time, an unpaid principal amount that was a limited-recourse debt referred to in section 851.41.1 (in this section referred to as the “former limited-recourse debt”), in respect of a gift (in this section referred to as the “original gift”) of the taxpayer, otherwise than by way of an assignment or transfer of a guarantee, security or similar covenant, or by way of a payment in respect of which a taxpayer referred to in section 851.41.1 has incurred an indebtedness that would be a limited-recourse debt referred to in that section if that indebtedness were in respect of a gift made at the time that that indebtedness was incurred, the taxpayer is deemed, for the purposes of sections 710 to 716.0.11 and 752.0.10.1 to 752.0.10.26 and if the former limited-recourse debt is in respect of the original gift, to have made in the taxation year a gift to a qualified donee, the eligible amount of which deemed gift is equal to the amount by which the amount that would have been the eligible amount of the original gift, if the aggregate of all such repaid amounts paid at or before that time were paid immediately before the original gift was made, exceeds the aggregate of the eligible amount of the original gift and the eligible amount of all other gifts deemed under this section to have been made before that time in respect of the original gift.

2009, c. 5, s. 23; 2012, c. 8, s. 36.

7.25. For the purposes of section 7.21, paragraph c of section 422 and sections 716, 752.0.10.12 and 752.0.10.16.2, the fair market value of a property that is the subject of a gift made by a taxpayer to a qualified donee is deemed to be equal to the lesser of the fair market value of the property otherwise determined and the cost or, in the case of a capital property, the adjusted cost base or, in the case of a life insurance policy in respect of which the taxpayer is a policyholder, the adjusted cost basis, within the meaning of sections 976 and 976.1, of the property to the taxpayer immediately before the gift is made if

(a)  the taxpayer acquired the property under a gifting arrangement that is a tax shelter as defined in section 1079.1; or

(b)  unless the gift is made as a consequence of the taxpayer’s death,

i.  the taxpayer acquired the property less than 3 years before the day that the gift is made, or

ii.  the taxpayer acquired the property less than 10 years before the day that the gift is made and it is reasonable to conclude that, at the time the taxpayer acquired the property, one of the main reasons for the acquisition was to make a gift of the property to a qualified donee.

2009, c. 5, s. 23; 2015, c. 24, s. 10.

7.26. If a taxpayer acquired a property, otherwise than by reason of the death of an individual, that is the subject of a gift to which section 7.25 applies because of subparagraph i or ii of paragraph b of that section and the property was, at any time within the 3-year or 10-year period that ends when the gift is made, acquired by a person or partnership with whom the taxpayer does not deal at arm’s length, for the purpose of applying section 7.25 to the taxpayer, the cost or, in the case of a capital property, the adjusted cost base, of the property to the taxpayer immediately before the gift is made is deemed to be equal to the lowest amount that is the cost or, in the case of a capital property, the adjusted cost base, to the taxpayer or that person or partnership immediately before the property was disposed of by that person or partnership.

2009, c. 5, s. 23; 2015, c. 24, s. 11.

7.27. Section 7.25 does not apply to a gift

(a)  of a property described in an inventory;

(b)  of an immovable property situated in Canada;

(d)  of a property to which section 231.2 applies;

(e)  of a share of the capital stock of a corporation if

i.  the share was issued by the corporation to the donor,

ii.  immediately before the gift, the corporation was controlled by the donor, a person related to the donor or a group of persons each of whom is related to the donor, and

iii.  section 7.25 would not have applied in respect of the consideration for which the share was issued had that consideration been donated by the donor to the qualified donee when the share was so donated;

(f)  by a corporation of a property if

i.  the property was acquired by the corporation in circumstances to which section 518 or 529 applied,

ii.  immediately before the gift, the shareholder from whom the corporation acquired the property controlled the corporation or was related to a person or each member of a group of persons that controlled the corporation, and

iii.  section 7.25 would not have applied in respect of the property had the property not been transferred to the corporation and had the shareholder made the gift to the qualified donee when the corporation so made the gift;

(g)  of a property that was acquired in circumstances where any of sections 440, 444, 454, 459 and 460 applied, unless section 7.26 would have applied if this section were read without reference to this paragraph;

(h)  of a work of art to a Québec museum;

(i)  of the bare ownership of a work of art or of a cultural property described in the third paragraph of section 232;

(j)  of a musical instrument to an entity referred to in the definition of “total musical instrument gifts” in the first paragraph of section 752.0.10.1; or

(k)  of a work of public art, the fair market value of which is determined by the Minister of Culture and Communications, referred to in subparagraph i of subparagraph b of the second paragraph of section 716.0.1.1 or 752.0.10.15.1 or the second paragraph of section 716.0.1.2 or 752.0.10.15.2.

7.28. The eligible amount of a gift of a property by a taxpayer is equal to zero if it can reasonably be concluded that the gift relates to a transaction or series of transactions

(a)  one of the purposes of which is to avoid the application of section 7.25 to the gift of a property; or

(b)  that would, if this Part were read without reference to this paragraph, result in a tax benefit to which section 1079.10 applies.

2009, c. 5, s. 23.

7.29. Where a taxpayer disposes of a property (in this section referred to as the “substantive gift” ) that is a capital property, to a recipient that is a qualified donee, section 7.25 would have applied in respect of the substantive gift if it had been the subject of a gift by the taxpayer to a qualified donee, and all or a part of the proceeds of disposition of the substantive gift are (or are substituted, directly or indirectly in any manner whatever, for) property that is the subject of a gift by the taxpayer to the recipient or any person not dealing at arm’s length with the recipient, the following rules apply:

(a)  for the purposes of section 7.21, the fair market value of the property that is the subject of the gift made by the taxpayer is deemed to be equal to that proportion of the lesser of the fair market value of the substantive gift and the cost or, if the substantive gift is a capital property of the taxpayer, the adjusted cost base, of the substantive gift to the taxpayer immediately before the disposition to the recipient, that the fair market value otherwise determined of the property that is the subject of the gift is of the proceeds of disposition of the substantive gift; and

(b)  if the substantive gift is a capital property of the taxpayer, for the purposes of subparagraph f of the first paragraph of section 93 and section 251, the sale price of the substantive gift is to be reduced by the amount by which the fair market value of the property that is the subject of the gift, determined without reference to this chapter, exceeds the fair market value determined under paragraph a;

(c)  (paragraph repealed).

2009, c. 5, s. 23; 2019, c. 14, s. 58.

7.30. Section 7.20 does not apply in respect of a gift made by a registered charity to a qualified donee.

2009, c. 5, s. 23.

7.31. Despite section 7.21, the eligible amount of a gift made by a taxpayer is equal to zero if the taxpayer does not, before a receipt referred to in section 712 or 752.0.10.3 is issued in respect of the gift, inform the qualified donee or the recipient of any circumstances in respect of which any of sections 7.21, 7.25, 7.26, 7.28 and 7.29 causes the eligible amount of the gift to be less than the fair market value, determined without reference to sections 7.25, 716 and 752.0.10.12, of the property that is the subject of the gift.

2009, c. 5, s. 23.

(b)  was a member of the Canadian Forces and was resident in Québec immediately before leaving Canada on military service in a foreign country;

(c)  was an ambassador, Member of Parliament, officer, high commissioner, minister, servant or senator of Canada, or an agent-general, officer or servant of a province, and was resident in Québec immediately prior to election, employment or appointment by Canada or the province or received representation allowances in respect of the year;

(d)  performed services in a country other than Canada under a prescribed international development assistance program of the Government of Québec or Canada and was resident in Québec at any time in the six month period preceding the day on which those services commenced;

(f)  was a child of, and dependent for support on, an individual to whom any of paragraphs b, c and d applies and the child’s income for the year did not exceed $12,638; or

(g)  was at any time in the year, under a tax agreement with one or more other countries, entitled to an exemption from an income tax otherwise payable in any of those countries in respect of income from any source, unless all or substantially all of the individual’s income from all sources was not so exempt, because at that time the individual was related to or a member of the family of a particular individual, other than a trust, who was resident in Québec.

1972, c. 23, s. 8; 1972, c. 26, s. 32; 1974, c. 18, s. 1; 1977, c. 5, s. 14; 1982, c. 38, s. 11; 1986, c. 15, s. 34; 1989, c. 5, s. 22; 1993, c. 64, s. 6; 1995, c. 49, s. 9; 1998, c. 16, s. 10; 2001, c. 53, s. 4; 2003, c. 9, s. 13; 2005, c. 1, s. 24; 2006, c. 13, s. 25; 2009, c. 5, s. 24; 2017, c. 29, s. 20; 2023, c. 19, s. 12.

8.1. In determining whether an individual is, for all or part of a taxation year, a foreign researcher within the meaning of section 737.19, a foreign researcher on a postdoctoral internship within the meaning of section 737.22.0.0.1, a foreign expert within the meaning of section 737.22.0.0.5, an eligible individual within the meaning of section 737.22.0.9, a foreign professor within the meaning of section 737.22.0.5, a foreign specialist within the meaning of any of sections 737.18.6, 737.22.0.1 and 737.22.0.4.1 or a foreign farm worker within the meaning of section 737.22.0.12 and in determining whether the requirement of the definition of “eligible production” in section 737.22.0.9 in relation to a producer’s residence is satisfied, section 8 is to be read without reference to its paragraph a.

2004, c. 21, s. 39; 2006, c. 36, s. 22; 2011, c. 1, s. 19; 2013, c. 10, s. 13; 2022, c. 23, s. 30.

8.2. The amount referred to in paragraph f of section 8 that must be used for a taxation year subsequent to the taxation year 2023 is to be adjusted annually in such a manner that the amount used for that taxation year is equal to the total of the amount used for the preceding taxation year and the product obtained by multiplying that amount so used by the factor determined by the formula

(A/B) - 1.

In the formula in the first paragraph,

(a)  A is the average all-items Consumer Price Index for Québec excluding alcoholic beverages, tobacco products and recreational cannabis for the 12-month period that ended on 30 September of the taxation year preceding that for which an amount is to be adjusted; and

(b)  B is the average all-items Consumer Price Index for Québec excluding alcoholic beverages, tobacco products and recreational cannabis for the 12-month period that ended on 30 September of the taxation year immediately before the year preceding that for which the amount is to be adjusted.

If the factor determined by the formula in the first paragraph has more than four decimal places, only the first four decimal digits are retained and the fourth is increased by one unit if the fifth is greater than 4.

If the amount that results from the adjustment provided for in the first paragraph is not a multiple of $1, it must be rounded to the nearest multiple of $1 or, if it is equidistant from two such multiples, to the higher multiple.

2009, c. 5, s. 25; 2017, c. 29, s. 21; 2020, c. 5, s. 214; 2023, c. 19, s. 13.

9. Where, at a particular time in a taxation year, a taxpayer ceases to be an individual described in paragraph b, c or d of section 8 and the taxpayer would, but for this section, be deemed to have been resident in Québec throughout the year by reason of those paragraphs, the taxpayer is deemed to have been resident in Québec throughout the part of the year preceding that time.

The same applies to the taxpayer’s spouse referred to in paragraph e of section 8 and the taxpayer’s child referred to in paragraph f of that section.

CHAPTER III ESTABLISHMENT

1972, c. 26, s. 33.

An establishment also includes an office, a branch, a mine, an oil or gas well, a farm, a timberland, a factory, a warehouse or a workshop.

Without restricting the generality of the first paragraph, a corporation has an establishment in each province of Canada in which an immovable owned by the corporation and used principally for the purpose of earning or producing gross revenue that is rent is situated.

1972, c. 26, s. 33; 1982, c. 56, s. 9; 1993, c. 19, s. 15; 1996, c. 39, s. 273; 1997, c. 3, s. 71; 1998, c. 16, s. 12.

However, a taxpayer is not deemed to have an establishment for the sole reason that the taxpayer has business dealings through a commission agent, a broker or other independent agent or maintains an office or warehouse solely for the purchase of merchandise; similarly, the taxpayer is not deemed to have an establishment in a place solely because of the taxpayer’s control over a subsidiary carrying on business in that place.

1972, c. 26, s. 33; 1998, c. 16, s. 13; 2000, c. 39, s. 2.

16.0.1. If, but for this section, a corporation would not have an establishment, the corporation is deemed to have an establishment at the place designated in its articles as its head office.

2011, c. 1, s. 20.

16.1. Where, in a taxation year, a corporation not resident in Canada operates a mine, produces, processes, preserves, packs or builds goods or a product in whole or in part, or produces or presents a public show, it is deemed to have an establishment at the place, in Canada, where it carries on one or the other of these activities.

1979, c. 38, s. 3; 1997, c. 3, s. 71.

16.1.1. Sections 15 and 16.1 do not apply in respect of a taxpayer’s activities relating to a business of the taxpayer that consists in operating a sports team that plays one or more of its matches or games, or that takes part in one or more competitions, outside Québec, or to a sports club if, in connection with its activities, one of its members plays a match or game, or takes part in a competition, outside Québec.

1995, c. 63, s. 13.

(b)  a person or group of persons that controls the new corporation immediately after the amalgamation and did not control a predecessor corporation immediately before the amalgamation is deemed to have acquired immediately before the amalgamation control of the predecessor corporation and of each corporation it controlled immediately before the amalgamation, unless the person or group of persons would not have acquired control of the predecessor corporation if the person or group of persons had acquired all the shares of the predecessor corporation immediately before the amalgamation; and

(c)  control of a predecessor corporation and of each corporation it controlled immediately before the amalgamation is deemed to have been acquired immediately before the amalgamation by a person or group of persons

i.  unless the predecessor corporation was related, otherwise than because of a right referred to in paragraph b of section 20, immediately before the amalgamation to each other predecessor corporation,

ii.  unless, if one person had immediately after the amalgamation acquired all the shares of the new corporation’s capital stock that the shareholders of the predecessor corporation, or of another predecessor corporation that controlled the predecessor corporation, acquired on the amalgamation in consideration for their shares of the predecessor corporation or of the other predecessor corporation, as the case may be, the person would have acquired control of the new corporation as a result of the acquisition of those shares, or

iii.  unless this paragraph would, but for this subparagraph, deem control of each predecessor corporation to have been acquired on the amalgamation where the amalgamation is an amalgamation of

(1)  two corporations, or

(2)  two particular corporations and one or more other corporations that would, if all the shares of each other corporation’s capital stock that were held immediately before the amalgamation by the particular corporations had been held by one person, have been controlled by that person.

21.2.1. Subject to section 21.3, where two or more persons, in this section referred to as the “transferors”, dispose of shares of the capital stock of a particular corporation in exchange for shares of the capital stock of another corporation, in this section referred to as the “acquiring corporation”, control of the acquiring corporation and of each corporation controlled by it immediately before the exchange is deemed to have been acquired at the time of the exchange by a person or group of persons unless

(a)  the particular corporation and the acquiring corporation were related, otherwise than because of a right referred to in paragraph b of section 20, to each other immediately before the exchange; or

(b)  if all the shares of the acquiring corporation’s capital stock that were acquired by the transferors on the exchange were acquired at the time of the exchange by one person, the person would not control the acquiring corporation.

2000, c. 5, s. 14.

21.2.2. Subject to section 21.3, if, at any particular time, as part of a series of transactions or events, two or more persons acquire shares of a corporation (in this section referred to as the “acquiring corporation”) in exchange for or upon a redemption or surrender of interests in, or as a consequence of a distribution from, a SIFT trust or a SIFT partnership, on the assumption that the definitions of “SIFT trust” and “SIFT partnership” in the first paragraph of section 1129.70 applied from 31 October 2006, or a real estate investment trust within the meaning of that first paragraph, control of the acquiring corporation and of each corporation controlled by it immediately before the particular time is deemed to have been acquired by a person or group of persons at the particular time, except in the following cases:

(a)  in relation to each of those corporations, a person (in this paragraph referred to as a “relevant person”) who would be affiliated with the SIFT trust, SIFT partnership or real estate investment trust, but for the definition of “controlled” in section 21.0.1, owns shares of the corporation having a total fair market value of more than 50% of the fair market value of all the issued and outstanding shares of the corporation at all times during the period that ends immediately before the particular time and begins at the time of the last acquisition of control of the corporation by a relevant person or, if later, on the later of

i.  14 July 2008, and

ii.  the day the corporation was constituted;

(b)  if all the securities, within the meaning of the first paragraph of section 1129.70, of the acquiring corporation that were acquired as part of the series of transactions or events at or before the particular time were acquired by one person, the person would not at the particular time control the acquiring corporation and would have at the particular time acquired securities of the acquiring corporation having a fair market value of not more than 50% of the fair market value of all the issued and outstanding shares of the acquiring corporation; and

(c)  this section previously applied to deem an acquisition of control of the acquiring corporation upon an acquisition of shares that was part of the same series of transactions or events.

21.2.3.

2017, c. 1, s. 74.

21.3. Control of a particular corporation is deemed not to have been acquired solely because of

(a)  the acquisition at any time of shares of the capital stock of any corporation by

i.  a person who acquired the shares from another person to whom the person was related, otherwise than because of a right referred to in paragraph b of section 20, immediately before that time,

ii.  a person who was related to the particular corporation, otherwise than because of a right referred to in paragraph b of section 20, immediately before that time,

iii.  a succession that acquired the shares because of the death of a person,

iv.  a particular person who acquired the shares from a succession that arose on and as a consequence of the death of an individual, if the succession acquired the shares from the individual as a consequence of the death and the individual was related to the particular person immediately before the death, or

v.  a corporation on a distribution, within the meaning assigned by the first paragraph of section 308.0.1, by a specified corporation, within the meaning assigned by that paragraph, if a dividend, to which section 308.1 does not apply because of section 308.3, is received in the course of the reorganization in which the distribution occurs;

(b)  the cancellation or redemption at any particular time of, or a change at any particular time in the terms or conditions of, shares of the particular corporation or of a corporation controlling the particular corporation, where each person and each member of each group of persons that controls the particular corporation immediately after the particular time was related, otherwise than because of a right referred to in paragraph b of section 20, to the particular corporation

i.  immediately before the particular time, or

ii.  immediately before the death of a person, where the shares were held immediately before the particular time by a succession that acquired the shares because of the person’s death; or

(c)  the acquisition at any time of shares of the particular corporation if

i.  the acquisition would otherwise result in the acquisition of control of the particular corporation at that time by a related group, and

ii.  each member of each group of persons that controls the particular corporation at that time was related, otherwise than because of a right referred to in paragraph b of section 20, to the particular corporation immediately before that time.

1978, c. 26, s. 3; 1979, c. 18, s. 3; 1982, c. 5, s. 5; 1993, c. 16, s. 10; 1994, c. 22, s. 55; 1995, c. 49, s. 12; 1997, c. 3, s. 71; 2000, c. 5, s. 15; 2009, c. 5, s. 29; 2017, c. 1, s. 75.

21.3.1. If at a particular time shares of the capital stock of a particular corporation are disposed of to another corporation (in this paragraph referred to as the “acquiring corporation”) for consideration that includes shares of the acquiring corporation’s capital stock, control of the particular corporation and of each corporation controlled by it immediately before that time is deemed not to have been acquired by the acquiring corporation solely because of the disposition if, immediately after the particular time, the acquiring corporation and the particular corporation are controlled by a person or group of persons who controlled the particular corporation immediately before the particular time, and did not, as part of the series of transactions or events that includes the disposition, cease to control the acquiring corporation.

Control of a particular corporation and of each corporation controlled by it immediately before a particular time is deemed not to have been acquired at the particular time by a corporation (in this paragraph referred to as the “acquiring corporation”), if at the particular time, the acquiring corporation acquires shares of the particular corporation’s capital stock for consideration that consists solely of shares of the acquiring corporation’s capital stock, and if

(a)  immediately after the particular time,

i.  the acquiring corporation owns all the shares of each class of the particular corporation’s capital stock, without reference to shares of a specified class of the capital stock of the particular corporation, within the meaning of section 560.1.2.1,

ii.  the acquiring corporation is not controlled by a person or group of persons, and

iii.  the fair market value of the shares of the particular corporation’s capital stock that are owned by the acquiring corporation is not less than 95% of the fair market value of all the assets of the acquiring corporation; or

(b)  any of subparagraphs i to iii of subparagraph a do not apply and the acquisition occurs as part of a plan of arrangement that, on completion, results in

i.  the acquiring corporation, or a new corporation that is formed on an amalgamation of the acquiring corporation and a wholly-controlled subsidiary of the acquiring corporation, owning all the shares of each class of the particular corporation’s capital stock, without reference to shares of a specified class of the capital stock of the particular corporation, within the meaning of section 560.1.2.1,

ii.  the acquiring corporation, or the new corporation, not being controlled by a person or group of persons, and

iii.  the fair market value of the shares of the particular corporation’s capital stock that are owned by the acquiring corporation, or the new corporation, being not less than 95% of the fair market value of all the assets of the acquiring corporation or the new corporation.

A particular trust that would, in the absence of this paragraph, acquire control of a corporation solely because of a SIFT trust wind-up event that is a distribution of shares of the capital stock of the corporation by another trust is deemed not to acquire control of the corporation because of the distribution if

(a)  the particular trust is described in paragraph c of the definition of “SIFT trust wind-up event” in section 1;

(b)  the particular trust is the only beneficiary of the other trust; and

(c)  the other trust controlled the corporation immediately before the distribution.

Where a corporation (in this paragraph referred to as the “acquiring corporation”) acquires shares of the capital stock of a particular corporation on a distribution that is a SIFT trust wind-up event of a trust that is a SIFT wind-up entity, the acquiring corporation is deemed not to acquire control of the particular corporation because of that acquisition if the following conditions are met:

(a)  the acquiring corporation is the only beneficiary under the trust immediately before the distribution;

(b)  the trust controlled the particular corporation immediately before the distribution;

(c)  as part of a series of transactions or events under which the acquiring corporation became the only beneficiary under the trust, two or more persons acquired shares of the acquiring corporation in exchange for their interests as beneficiaries under the trust; and

(d)  if all the shares described in subparagraph c had been acquired by one person, the person would control the acquiring corporation and would have acquired shares of the acquiring corporation having a fair market value of more than 50% of the fair market value of all the issued and outstanding shares of the acquiring corporation.

Where at a particular time after 12 September 2013 a trust controls a corporation, control of the corporation is deemed not to have been acquired solely because of a change in the trustee or legal representative having ownership or control of the trust’s property if

(a)  the change is not part of a series of transactions or events that includes a change in the beneficial ownership of the trust’s property; and

(b)  no amount of income or capital of the trust to be distributed, at any time at or after the change, in respect of any interest in the trust depends upon the exercise by any person or partnership, or the failure of any person or partnership to exercise, any discretionary power.

2000, c. 5, s. 16; 2009, c. 5, s. 30; 2010, c. 25, s. 6; 2015, c. 24, s. 15; 2017, c. 1, s. 76.

21.3.2. A person or group of persons is deemed not to have acquired control of a corporation at any time after 11 June 2003 if a significant shareholder, or a significant group of shareholders, of the corporation owns, at that time, shares of the capital stock of the corporation that give the shareholder or group 50% or more of the votes that could be cast under all circumstances at the annual meeting of shareholders of the corporation.

2006, c. 13, s. 27.

21.3.3. A person or group of persons deemed not to have acquired control of a corporation at any time after 11 June 2003 because of the application of section 21.3.2, is deemed to have acquired control of that corporation at a later time when, for the first time, no significant shareholder, or significant group of shareholders, of the corporation owns shares of the capital stock of the corporation that give the shareholder or group 50% or more of the votes that could be cast under all circumstances at the annual meeting of shareholders of the corporation.

2006, c. 13, s. 27.

21.3.4. For the purposes of sections 21.3.2 to 21.3.6,

(a)  a person who owned, immediately before 12 June 2003, 25% or more in vote and value of the shares of the capital stock of a corporation is a significant shareholder of the corporation at any time after 11 June 2003;

(b)  a group of persons in respect of which the following conditions are satisfied is a significant group of shareholders of a corporation at any given time after 11 June 2003:

i.  immediately before 12 June 2003, the group owned 25% or more in vote and value of the shares of the capital stock of the corporation, and

ii.  at the given time, each member of the group owned 10% or more in vote and value of the shares of the capital stock of the corporation;

(c)  two or more persons each of whom owns shares of the capital stock of a corporation is a group of persons in respect of that corporation; and

(d)  the percentage, in vote and value, of the shares of the capital stock of a corporation owned by a person or group of persons at any given time corresponds to the lesser of

i.  the proportion, expressed as a percentage, that, at that time, the number of votes that could be cast under all circumstances at the annual meeting of shareholders of the corporation given by the shares of the capital stock of the corporation owned by the person or group of persons is of the number of votes of that kind given by all the issued shares of that capital stock, and

ii.  the proportion, expressed as a percentage, that, at that time, the fair market value of the shares of the capital stock of the corporation owned by the person or group of persons is of the fair market value of all the issued shares of that capital stock.

2006, c. 13, s. 27.

21.3.5. For the purpose of determining, in accordance with section 21.3.4, whether a person or group of persons is a significant shareholder, or a significant group of shareholders, as the case may be, of a particular corporation,

(a)  subject to the second paragraph, the rules set out in paragraphs d to f of section 21.20.2 apply in respect of the ownership of the shares of the capital stock of the particular corporation;

(b)  another corporation, a partnership or a trust is deemed not to own, or not to be deemed to own because of the application of subparagraph a, a share of the capital stock of the particular corporation that is deemed to be owned, because of the application of that subparagraph, by

i.  a shareholder of the other corporation,

ii.  a member of the partnership, or

iii.  a beneficiary under the trust or, if it is a trust referred to in section 467, the person referred to in that section;

(c)  a person is deemed to have owned, immediately before 12 June 2003, a share the person acquired after 11 June 2003 from another person with whom the person was not dealing at arm’s length, if that other person owned the share immediately before 12 June 2003;

(d)  if, between 11 June 2003 and 1 July 2004, the particular corporation was the subject of an acquisition of control that was the result of a transaction to which any of the provisions referred to in the second paragraph of section 21.1 refers, the transaction is deemed to have been completed on 11 June 2003 for the purpose of applying sections 21.3.2 and 21.3.3 in respect of a subsequent acquisition of control of the particular corporation for the purposes of that provision;

(e)  a person is deemed to have exercised, on 11 June 2003, one or more rights referred to in paragraph b of section 20 that the person exercised after that date but had acquired before 12 June 2003; and

(f)  a person is deemed to have performed, on 11 June 2003, one or more obligations described in the third paragraph that the person performed after that date but had contracted before 12 June 2003.

Despite subparagraph 1 of subparagraph i of paragraph f of section 21.20.2 and subparagraphs ii and iv of that paragraph f, the number of shares of the capital stock of a corporation that the members of a group who are beneficiaries under a trust or the members of a group who are persons referred to in section 467 in respect of a trust referred to in that section are deemed to own because of the application of subparagraph a of the first paragraph to each of them, may not be greater than the number of shares of that capital stock that are owned, or deemed to be owned because of the application of that subparagraph a, by the trust.

An obligation to which subparagraph f of the first paragraph refers is an obligation whose performance puts the person who contracted it in the same position in relation to the control of a corporation as that in which the person would be if the person had acquired and exercised any of the rights referred to in paragraph b of section 20.

2006, c. 13, s. 27.

21.3.6. In determining, for the purposes of sections 21.3.2 and 21.3.3, the number of shares of the capital stock of a particular corporation owned by a significant shareholder, or a significant group of shareholders, of the particular corporation, subparagraph a of the first paragraph of section 21.3.5 applies, but with reference to the following rules:

(a)  despite paragraph d of section 21.20.2,

i.  a shareholder of another corporation is deemed to own all the shares of the capital stock of the particular corporation that are owned, or deemed to be owned because of the application of this section, by the other corporation, if the shares of the capital stock of the other corporation owned by the shareholder give the shareholder 50% or more of the votes that could be cast under all circumstances at the annual meeting of shareholders of the other corporation, and

ii.  the presumption in subparagraph i applies to a particular group consisting of members of a significant group of shareholders of the particular corporation who are shareholders of another corporation, if the shares of the capital stock of the other corporation owned by the particular group give the particular group 50% or more of the votes that could be cast under all circumstances at the annual meeting of shareholders of the other corporation;

(b)  a person who is a shareholder of more than one corporation, in this paragraph referred to as the “intermediary corporations”, may not be deemed to own a number of shares of the capital stock of the particular corporation that are owned, or deemed to be owned because of the application of this section, by another corporation of which the intermediary corporations are shareholders that is greater than the number of those shares that the person would be deemed to own if this section applied to each intermediary corporation without reference to the rule set out in subparagraph i of paragraph a; and

(c)  if a significant group of shareholders of the particular corporation includes persons each of whom is deemed to own, because of the application of this section, shares of the capital stock of the particular corporation that are owned by another corporation, the total number of those shares that those persons are deemed to own may not be greater than the number of shares of that capital stock that the other corporation owns.

2006, c. 13, s. 27.

21.3.7. When sections 21.3.2 and 21.3.3 apply in respect of the control of a corporation for the purposes of subparagraph e of the first paragraph of section 771.13 and subparagraph b of the first paragraph of section 1029.8.36.0.22.1,

(a)  sections 21.3.2 to 21.3.5 are to be read as if “11 June 2003” was replaced wherever it appears by “30 March 2004”; and

(b)  section 21.3.4 and the first paragraph of section 21.3.5 are to be read as if “12 June 2003” was replaced wherever it appears by “31 March 2004”.

2006, c. 13, s. 27; 2007, c. 12, s. 22.

21.4. Where, but for this section, a particular corporation would be regarded as being controlled, or controlled, directly or indirectly in any manner whatever, by a person or partnership at a particular time and it is established that the conditions set forth in the second paragraph are fulfilled, the particular corporation is deemed not to be controlled by that person or partnership at that particular time.

The conditions referred to in the first paragraph are:

(a)  there is in effect at the particular time an enforceable agreement or arrangement under which, upon the happening of an event or the satisfaction of a condition that it is reasonable to expect will happen or be satisfied, the particular corporation will cease to be controlled, or controlled, directly or indirectly in any manner whatever, as the case may be, by the person or partnership, and will be or become controlled, or controlled, directly or indirectly in any manner whatever, as the case may be, by a person or group of persons with whom or with each of the members of which, as the case may be, the person or partnership is at the particular time dealing at arm’s length;

(b)  the purpose of the control referred to in the first paragraph is, at the particular time, the safeguarding of the rights or interests of the person or partnership in respect of any indebtedness owing to the person or partnership the whole or any part of the principal amount of which is outstanding at the particular time, or of any shares of the capital stock of the particular corporation that are owned by the person or partnership at the particular time and that are, under the enforceable agreement or arrangement referred to in subparagraph a, to be redeemed by the particular corporation or purchased by the person or group of persons referred to in subparagraph a.

21.4.0.1. A corporation that would be controlled by another corporation if that other corporation were not controlled by any person or group of persons, is controlled by the other corporation and by any person or group of persons by whom the other corporation is controlled.

2003, c. 2, s. 9.

21.4.0.2. A corporation that would be controlled by a group of persons, in this section referred to as the “first-tier group”, if no corporation that is a member of the first-tier group were controlled by any person or group of persons, is controlled by

(a)  the first-tier group; and

(b)  any group of one or more persons comprised of, in respect of every member of the first-tier group, either the member, or a person or group of persons by whom the member is controlled.

2003, c. 2, s. 9.

21.4.0.3. For their application within the framework of the circumstances described in section 21.25, sections 21.4.0.1 and 21.4.0.2 shall be read as if the references to “controlled” were references to “controlled, directly or indirectly in any manner whatever,”.

2003, c. 2, s. 9.

21.4.1. A taxpayer who, at a particular time, acquires a right referred to in paragraph b of section 20 in respect of a share of the capital stock of a corporation is deemed to be in the same position in relation to the control of the corporation as if the right were immediate and absolute and as if the taxpayer had exercised the right at the particular time, where it can reasonably be concluded that one of the main purposes of the acquisition of the right is

(a)  to avoid any limitation on the deductibility of any net capital loss, non-capital loss or farm loss or any amount referred to in section 384 or sections 418.26 to 418.30;

(b)  to avoid the application of Chapter IV.1, any of sections 21.0.6, 83.0.3, 93.4, 225, 308.1, 384.4, 384.5, 560.1.2, 736, 736.0.2, 736.0.3.1 and 737.18.9.2, subparagraph 2 of subparagraph i of subparagraph b of the second paragraph of section 771.8.5, any of subparagraphs d to f of the first paragraph of section 771.13, section 776.1.12 or 776.1.13, subparagraph iv of paragraph b of the definition of “specified corporation” in the first paragraph of section 1029.8.36.0.17, subparagraph b of the first paragraph of any of sections 1029.8.36.0.21.2, 1029.8.36.0.22.1 and 1029.8.36.0.25.2 or any of sections 1029.8.36.166.49, 1029.8.36.166.50, 1029.8.36.166.60.54, 1029.8.36.166.60.55, 1029.8.36.171.3, 1029.8.36.171.4 and 1137.8; or

(b)  each member, policyholder and other participant in the corporation is deemed to be a shareholder of the corporation; and

(c)  the membership, policy or other interest in the corporation of each of those participants is deemed to be the number of shares of the corporation’s capital stock that the Minister considers reasonable in the circumstances, having regard to the total number of participants in the corporation and the nature of their participation.

2000, c. 5, s. 19.

21.4.2. For the purposes of this Part, other than for the purpose of determining if a corporation is, at any time, a small business corporation or a Canadian-controlled private corporation, if control of a corporation is acquired by a person or group of persons at a particular time on a day, control of the corporation is deemed to have been acquired by the person or group of persons at the commencement of that day and not at the particular time unless the corporation makes a valid election under subsection 9 of section 256 of the Income Tax Act (R.S.C. 1985, c. 1 (5th Suppl.)) after 19 December 2006 in relation to the acquisition of control.

21.4.2.2. The rules provided for in section 21.4.2.3 apply at a particular time in respect of a corporation in connection with attribute trading restrictions if

(a)  shares of the capital stock of the corporation held by a person, or the total of all shares of the capital stock of the corporation held by members of a group of persons, as the case may be, have at the particular time a fair market value that exceeds 75% of the fair market value of all the shares of the capital stock of the corporation;

(b)  shares of the capital stock of the corporation held by the person, or the total of all shares of the capital stock of the corporation held by members of the group of persons, have immediately before the particular time a fair market value that does not exceed 75% of the fair market value of all the shares of the capital stock of the corporation;

(c)  the person or group of persons does not control the corporation at the particular time; and

(d)  it is reasonable to conclude that one of the main reasons that the person or group of persons does not control the corporation is to avoid the application of one or more specified provisions.

2017, c. 1, s. 78.

21.4.2.3. The rules to which section 21.4.2.2 refers at a particular time in respect of a corporation are as follows:

(a)  the person or group of persons referred to in section 21.4.2.2

i.  is deemed to acquire control of the corporation, and each corporation controlled by the corporation, at the particular time, and

ii.  is not deemed to have control of the corporation, and each corporation controlled by the corporation, at any time after the particular time solely because this paragraph applied at the particular time; and

(b)  during the period that the condition in paragraph a of section 21.4.2.2 is satisfied, each corporation referred to in paragraph a—and any corporation incorporated subsequent to the particular time and controlled by that corporation—is deemed not to be related to, or affiliated with, any person to which it was related to, or affiliated with, immediately before paragraph a applies.

2017, c. 1, s. 78.

21.4.2.4. For the purpose of applying paragraph a of section 21.4.2.2 in respect of a person or group of persons, the following rules apply:

(a)  if it is reasonable to conclude that one of the reasons that one or more transactions or events occur is to cause a person or group of persons not to hold shares having a fair market value that exceeds 75% of the fair market value of all the shares of the capital stock of a corporation, no account is to be taken of those transactions or events; and

(b)  the person, or each member of the group of persons, is deemed to have exercised each right that is held by the person or a member of the group and that is referred to in paragraph b of section 20 in respect of a share of the corporation referred to in paragraph a of section 21.4.2.2.

2017, c. 1, s. 78.

21.4.2.5. For the purposes of sections 21.4.2.2 to 21.4.2.4, if the fair market value of the shares of the capital stock of a corporation is nil at a particular time, then for the purpose of determining the fair market value of those shares, the corporation is deemed, at that time, to have assets net of liabilities equal to $100,000 and to have $100,000 of income for the taxation year that includes that time.

2017, c. 1, s. 78.

21.4.2.6. If, at a particular time as part of a transaction or event or series of transactions or events, control of a particular corporation is acquired by a person or group of persons and it can reasonably be concluded that one of the main reasons for the acquisition of control is so that a specified provision does not apply to one or more corporations, the attribute trading restrictions are deemed to apply to each of those corporations as if control of each of those corporations were acquired at that time.

2017, c. 1, s. 78.

CHAPTER V.2 MAKING CERTAIN ELECTIONS

2009, c. 5, s. 32.

21.4.4. This chapter applies when a provision of this Act (in this chapter referred to as the “particular provision”) refers to this chapter in relation to an election made under the Income Tax Act (R.S.C. 1985, c. 1 (5th Suppl.)) or under this Act.

A person, legal representative or partnership that makes such an election is referred to as the “elector” in this chapter.

2009, c. 5, s. 32.

21.4.5. If an election, which should have been made on or before 19 December 2006 or which was made before 20 December 2006, is made or amended as a consequence of the application of subsection 5 or 5.1 of section 93 of the Income Tax Act (R.S.C. 1985, c. 1, (5th Suppl.)) or of subsection 3.2 of section 220 of that Act, the date on which the election was made, which is to be taken into account for the purposes of sections 21.4.6, 21.4.9 and 21.4.10 and of the particular provision, is, despite the presumption provided for in that respect in that subsection 5 or 5.1 or in paragraph a of subsection 3.3 of that section 220, the date on which the election is actually made or amended.

If, in relation to any subject (in this paragraph referred to as the “subject of an election made for federal purposes”), an election is rescinded after 19 December 2006 in circumstances where section 7.19.1 applies and a particular valid election has been made before 20 December 2006 under the particular provision in relation to the subject of an election made for federal purposes, the particular valid election is deemed never to have been made.

2009, c. 5, s. 32; 2010, c. 25, s. 7.

21.4.6. If, after 19 December 2006, an elector makes a valid election under the provision of the Income Tax Act (R.S.C. 1985, c. 1 (5th Suppl.)) to which the particular provision refers, the elector or, if the elector is a partnership, any member of the partnership shall, on or before the date provided for in the second paragraph, notify the Minister in writing of the election and attach to the notice a copy of every document sent to the Minister of National Revenue in connection with the election.

The date to which the first paragraph refers is the date of the 30th day following that on which the election is made or, if it is later, the filing-due date of the person in respect of whom the election is made or, where the election is made in respect of a partnership, of the member of the partnership for the taxation year for which the election has to be sent to the Minister of National Revenue.

This section does not apply if the person in respect of whom the election is made or, where the election is made in respect of a partnership, each of its members was not subject to tax under this Part for the taxation year for which the election had to be sent to the Minister of National Revenue.

2009, c. 5, s. 32; 2012, c. 8, s. 37.

21.4.6.1. If, after 19 December 2006, an elector makes a valid election under the provision of the Income Tax Act (R.S.C. 1985, c. 1 (5th Suppl.)) to which the particular provision refers, other than an election described in the second paragraph, the person in respect of whom the election is made or, where the election is made in respect of a partnership, each of its members was not subject to tax under this Part for the taxation year for which the election had to be sent to the Minister of National Revenue and, for the purposes of the Income Tax Act, the election is in force for a subsequent taxation year (in this section referred to as the “tax liability year”) for which the person in respect of whom the election is made or, where the election is made in respect of a partnership, any of its members becomes subject to tax under this Part, the elector or any member of the partnership shall, on or before the date provided for in the third paragraph, notify the Minister in writing of the election and attach to the notice a copy of every document sent to the Minister of National Revenue in connection with the election.

An election to which the first paragraph refers is an election that is made for the purpose of computing, for a taxation year, the income or taxable income of a taxpayer for the purposes of the Income Tax Act and that relates to a deduction in that computation or to the determination of the cost, capital cost or cost amount of a property of the taxpayer, to which section 31 or 694 applies for the purpose of determining, for the tax liability year or a subsequent taxation year, the taxpayer’s income or taxable income for the purposes of this Part.

The date to which the first paragraph refers is the filing-due date, for the tax liability year, of the person in respect of whom the election is made or, where the election is made in respect of a partnership, of the member of the partnership who first becomes subject to tax under this Part for the tax liability year.

2012, c. 8, s. 38.

21.4.7. In the event of non-compliance with a requirement of section 21.4.6 or 21.4.6.1, the elector incurs a penalty of $25 a day for every day the omission continues, up to $2,500.

2009, c. 5, s. 32; 2012, c. 8, s. 39.

21.4.8.

(a)  the elector shall notify the Minister in writing and attach to the notice a copy of every document sent to the Minister of National Revenue for that purpose;

(b)  the elector incurs a penalty equal to $100 for each complete month included in the period beginning on the day on or before which the election or the amended or rescinded election was required to have been made and ending on the day on which the notice referred to in paragraph a is sent to the Minister, up to $5,000; and

(c)  if a particular valid election has been made before 20 December 2006 under the particular provision in relation to the subject of an election made for federal purposes,

i.  in the case of the election made or amended,

(1)  the particular provision is to apply in respect of the subject of an election made for federal purposes, as the particular provision reads on 20 December 2006 and not as it read before that date, and

(2)  the particular valid election is deemed never to have been made, and

ii.  in the case of the rescinded election, the particular valid election is deemed never to have been made.

2009, c. 5, s. 32.

21.4.9. Subject to sections 21.4.5, 21.4.8 and 21.4.11, if, in relation to any subject (in this section referred to as the “subject of an election made for Québec purposes”), an elector made a particular valid election under the particular provision before 20 December 2006, the particular provision must apply in respect of the subject of an election made for Québec purposes, as the particular provision read before that date, unless, after 19 December 2006, the elector makes, in relation to the subject of an election made for Québec purposes, a valid election under the provision of the Income Tax Act (R.S.C. 1985, c. 1 (5th Suppl.)) to which the particular provision refers, in which case the following rules apply:

(a)  the particular provision must apply in respect of the subject of an election made for Québec purposes, as the particular provision reads on 20 December 2006 and not as it read before that date; and

(b)  the particular valid election is deemed never to have been made.

2009, c. 5, s. 32.

21.4.10. If, before 20 December 2006 and in relation to any subject (in this section referred to as the “subject of an election made for federal purposes”), an elector made a particular valid election under the provision of the Income Tax Act (R.S.C. 1985, c. 1 (5th Suppl.)) to which the particular provision refers and did not rescind it after 19 December 2006 as a consequence of the application of subsection 3.2 of section 220 of that Act, and the elector has not made a valid election under the particular provision, the following rules apply:

(a)  if the applicable period within which to make the election under the particular provision in relation to the subject of an election made for federal purposes, as the particular provision read before 20 December 2006, would have ended after 19 December 2006, the particular provision must, if the elector so decides on or before the time at which the period should have ended, apply in respect of the subject of an election made for federal purposes as if the particular valid election had been made on 20 December 2006, and, for that purpose, section 603 applies, with the necessary modifications, in respect of that decision if the particular provision was referred to in section 603, as that section read on 19 December 2006;

(b)  if subsection 3.2 of section 220 of the Income Tax Act applies, in relation to the subject of an election made for federal purposes, to the provision of that Act to which the particular provision refers and if section 21.4.8 does not apply,

i.  the Minister may allow that the particular provision apply in respect of the subject of an election made for federal purposes as if the particular valid election had been made on 20 December 2006, if

(1)  the applicable period within which to make the election under the particular provision in relation to the subject of an election made for federal purposes, as the particular provision read before 20 December 2006, would have ended on or before a particular day of any of the elector’s taxation years or fiscal periods, as the case may be, and

(2)  the elector files an application with the Minister in that respect on or before the day that is 10 calendar years after the end of the taxation year or fiscal period, and, for that purpose, section 603 applies, with the necessary modifications, in respect of that application if the particular provision was referred to in section 603, as that section read on 19 December 2006, and

ii.  if the Minister grants the application filed under subparagraph i, the elector incurs a penalty equal to $100 for each complete month included in the period beginning on the day on or before which the particular valid election was required to have been made and ending on the day on which the application is filed with the Minister, up to $5,000; and

2009, c. 5, s. 32.

21.4.11. If an elector made a particular valid election under the particular provision before 20 December 2006 in relation to any subject (in this section referred to as the “subject of an election made for Québec purposes”), the following rules apply:

(a)  if subsection 3.2 of section 220 of the Income Tax Act (R.S.C. 1985, c. 1 (5th Suppl.)) applies, in relation to the subject of an election made for Québec purposes, to the provision of that Act (in this subparagraph referred to as the “corresponding provision”) to which the particular provision refers, if section 21.4.8 does not apply and if the elector made, in relation to the subject of an election made for Québec purposes, a valid election under the corresponding provision before 20 December 2006 that has not been rescinded before that date as a consequence of the application of that subsection 3.2, or the elector did not make such an election or made such an election that was thus rescinded before that date,

i.  the Minister may allow that the particular provision, as it reads on 20 December 2006 and not as it read before that date, apply in respect of the subject of an election made for Québec purposes as if the election made for the purposes of the Income Tax Act that was not rescinded had been made on 20 December 2006, or that the particular valid election be revoked in any other case, if

(c)  the amount (other than an amount refundable on behalf of another person in respect of amounts payable on behalf of that person under section 1015) of tax or any other amount refundable under this Act to the taxpayer in respect of the taxation year; and

(d)  any amount (including an amount provided for in Chapter V of the Act respecting international financial centres (chapter C-8.3)) that is relevant in computing the amounts described in respect of the taxpayer in paragraphs a to c;

“relevant spot rate” for a particular day means, in respect of a conversion of an amount from a particular currency to another currency,

(a)  if the particular currency or the other currency is Canadian currency, the rate quoted by the Bank of Canada on the particular day (or, if the Bank of Canada ordinarily quotes such a rate, but there is no such rate quoted for the particular day, the closest preceding day for which such a rate is quoted) for the exchange of the particular currency for the other currency, or, for the purposes of paragraph b of section 21.4.17 and paragraph c of section 21.4.19, any other rate of exchange that is acceptable to the Minister; and

(b)  if neither the particular currency nor the other currency is Canadian currency, the rate—calculated by reference to the rates quoted by the Bank of Canada on the particular day (or, if the Bank of Canada ordinarily quotes such rates, but either of such rates is not quoted for the particular day, the closest preceding day for which both such rates are quoted)—for the exchange of the particular currency for the other currency, or, for the purposes of paragraph b of section 21.4.17 and paragraph c of section 21.4.19, any other rate of exchange that is acceptable to the Minister;

“reversionary year” of a taxpayer means a taxation year that begins after the last functional currency year of the taxpayer;

“tax reporting currency” of a taxpayer for a taxation year, and at any time in the taxation year, means the currency in which the taxpayer’s Québec tax results for the taxation year are to be computed.

2010, c. 5, s. 11; 2017, c. 1, s. 79; 2021, c. 14, s. 21.

21.4.17. The following rules apply in computing the Québec tax results of a taxpayer for a taxation year:

(a)  subject to this chapter, other than this section, Canadian currency is to be used; and

(b)  subject to this chapter, other than this section, sections 167.1.1 and 484.6, subparagraph l of the first paragraph of section 485.3 and paragraph b of section 851.22.39, if a particular amount that is relevant in computing those Québec tax results is expressed in a currency other than Canadian currency, the particular amount is to be converted to an amount expressed in Canadian currency using the relevant spot rate for the day on which the particular amount arose.

2010, c. 5, s. 11; 2011, c. 34, s. 13; 2019, c. 14, s. 61.

21.4.18. The rules set out in section 21.4.19 apply to a taxpayer in respect of a particular taxation year if, because of subsection 3 of section 261 of the Income Tax Act (R.S.C. 1985, c. 1 (5th Suppl.)), subsection 5 of section 261 of that Act applies to the taxpayer in respect of the particular taxation year for the purposes of that Act.

Chapter V.2 applies in relation to an election made under paragraph b of subsection 3 of section 261 of the Income Tax Act and, if applicable, in relation to the revocation of that election made under subsection 4 of section 261 of that Act.

2010, c. 5, s. 11.

21.4.19. The rules to which the first paragraph of section 21.4.18 refers and that apply to a taxpayer in respect of a particular taxation year are the following:

(a)  the taxpayer’s elected functional currency is to be used for the purpose of computing the taxpayer’s Québec tax results for the particular taxation year;

(b)  unless the context otherwise requires, each reference in this Act or the regulations made under it to an amount (other than in respect of a penalty or fine) that is described as a particular number of Canadian dollars is, in respect of the taxpayer and the particular taxation year, to be read as a reference to that amount expressed in the taxpayer’s elected functional currency using the relevant spot rate for the first day of the particular taxation year;

(c)  subject to paragraph b of section 21.4.24, sections 21.4.30, 167.1.1 and 484.6, subparagraph l of the first paragraph of section 485.3 and paragraph b of section 851.22.39, if a particular amount that is relevant in computing the taxpayer’s Québec tax results for the particular taxation year is expressed in a currency other than the taxpayer’s elected functional currency, the particular amount is to be converted to an amount expressed in the taxpayer’s elected functional currency using the relevant spot rate for the day on which the particular amount arose;

(d)  the definition of “exchange rate” in section 736.0.0.2 is, in respect of the taxpayer and the particular taxation year, and with the necessary modifications, to be read as follows:

““exchange rate” at a particular time in respect of a particular currency other than the taxpayer’s elected functional currency means the relevant spot rate, for the day that includes that time, in respect of the conversion of an amount from the particular currency to the taxpayer’s elected functional currency, or a rate of exchange acceptable to the Minister;”;

(e)  section 262 is, in respect of the taxpayer and the particular taxation year, and with the necessary modifications, to be read as if “one or more foreign currencies relative to Canadian currency” in the portion before paragraph a were replaced by “one or more currencies (other than the taxpayer’s elected functional currency) relative to the taxpayer’s elected functional currency” and as if “Canadian currency” in paragraphs a and b were replaced by “the taxpayer’s elected functional currency”;

(f)  a reference to “Canadian currency” wherever it appears in the following provisions is, in respect of the taxpayer and the particular taxation year, and with the necessary modifications, to be read as a reference to the “taxpayer’s elected functional currency”:

i.  paragraph c.1 of section 21.26,

ii.  paragraph a.1 of section 21.27,

iii.  sections 167.1.1, 474, 483.2, 483.3 and 484.6,

iv.  subparagraph l of the first paragraph of section 485.3,

v.  section 485.28,

v.1.  sections 591 to 591.3,

vi.  paragraph f of the definition of “tax basis” in section 851.22.7,

vii.  paragraph g of section 851.22.8,

viii.  the portion of subparagraph i of paragraph b of section 851.22.39 before subparagraph 1,

ix.  subparagraph 2 of subparagraph i of paragraph b of section 851.22.39,

x.  subparagraph ii of paragraph b of section 851.22.39, and

xi.  subparagraph iv of subparagraph a of the second paragraph of section 1079.1R3 of the Regulation respecting the Taxation Act (chapter I-3, r. 1);

(g)  the definition “foreign currency” in section 1 is, in respect of the taxpayer and the particular taxation year, and with the necessary modifications, to be read as follows:

““foreign currency” in respect of a taxpayer, at any time in a taxation year, means a currency other than the taxpayer’s elected functional currency;”;

(h)  this chapter applies, with the necessary modifications, for the purposes of Book II of Part VI in respect of the taxpayer in relation to a particular month, if the particular month is included in the particular taxation year; and

(i)  this chapter applies, with the necessary modifications, for the purposes of Part VI.4 in respect of the taxpayer in relation to a particular calendar year, if the last fiscal period of the taxpayer, for the purposes of Part VI.4, that ends in the preceding calendar year is a fiscal period that ends in the particular taxation year or the end of which coincides with the end of that particular taxation year.

2010, c. 5, s. 11; 2011, c. 34, s. 14; 2019, c. 14, s. 62.

21.4.20. For the purpose of computing the Québec tax results of a particular taxpayer for each taxation year that is a functional currency year or a reversionary year of the particular taxpayer, this chapter is to be applied as if each partnership of which the particular taxpayer is a member in the taxation year were a taxpayer that

(a)  had as its first functional currency year its first fiscal period that

i.  is a fiscal period during which the particular taxpayer is a member of the partnership,

ii.  begins after 13 December 2007, and

iii.  begins on or after the first day of the particular taxpayer’s first functional currency year;

(b)  had as its last Canadian currency year its last fiscal period that ends before its first functional currency year;

(c)  had as its first reversionary year its first fiscal period that begins after the particular taxpayer’s last functional currency year;

(d)  is a taxpayer to which section 21.4.19 applies in respect of each of its fiscal periods that is, or begins after, its first functional currency year and that ends before its first reversionary year;

(e)  had as its elected functional currency in respect of each fiscal period described in paragraph d the elected functional currency of the particular taxpayer; and

(f)  had as its last functional currency year its last fiscal period that ends before its first reversionary year.

2010, c. 5, s. 11; 2019, c. 14, s. 63.

21.4.21. For the purpose of computing a taxpayer’s income for a particular taxation year that is a functional currency year or a reversionary year of the taxpayer, foreign accrual property income of a foreign affiliate of the taxpayer, in respect of the taxpayer for the particular taxation year, is to be determined in accordance with the regulations made under section 579 after taking into account the application of subsection 6.1 of section 261 of the Income Tax Act (R.S.C. 1985, c. 1 (5th Suppl.)) in respect of the taxpayer for the particular taxation year.

2010, c. 5, s. 11.

21.4.22. For the purpose of applying this Act to a taxpayer for a functional currency year of the taxpayer (in this section referred to as the “particular taxation year”), the following amounts are to be converted from Canadian currency to the taxpayer’s elected functional currency using the relevant spot rate for the last day of the taxpayer’s last Canadian currency year:

(a)  each amount that

i.  is, or is relevant in computing, an amount that may be deducted or is deemed to have been paid to the Minister for the particular taxation year under any of sections 222 to 225, 371, 710, 727 to 737, 772.12, 776.1.9, 1029.8.36.166.46, 1029.8.36.166.60.51, 1029.8.36.171.1 and 1135.2, and

ii.  was determined for a Canadian currency year of the taxpayer;

(b)  the cost to the taxpayer of a property that was acquired by the taxpayer in a Canadian currency year of the taxpayer;

(c)  any amount that was required by section 255 or 257 to be added or deducted in computing, at any time in a Canadian currency year of the taxpayer, the adjusted cost base to the taxpayer of a capital property that was acquired by the taxpayer in such a year;

(d)  any amount that

i.  is in respect of the taxpayer’s undepreciated capital cost of depreciable property of a prescribed class, the taxpayer’s cumulative Canadian exploration expenses within the meaning of section 398, the taxpayer’s cumulative Canadian development expenses within the meaning of section 411, the taxpayer’s cumulative foreign resource expense, in relation to a country other than Canada, within the meaning of section 418.1.3, or the taxpayer’s cumulative Canadian oil and gas property expense within the meaning of section 418.5 (each of which is in this paragraph referred to as a “pool amount”), and

ii.  was added to or deducted in computing a pool amount of the taxpayer in respect of a Canadian currency year of the taxpayer;

(e)  any amount that has been deducted or claimed as a reserve in computing the income of the taxpayer for the taxpayer’s last Canadian currency year;

(f)  any outlay or expense referred to in section 175.1 or 230.0.0.6 that was made or incurred by the taxpayer in respect of a Canadian currency year of the taxpayer, and any amount that was deducted in respect of the outlay or expense in computing the income of the taxpayer for such a year; and

(g)  any other amount (other than an amount referred to in any of sections 21.4.20, 21.4.21 and 21.4.23) determined under the provisions of this Act for or in respect of a Canadian currency year of the taxpayer that is relevant in computing the Québec tax results of the taxpayer for the particular taxation year.

2010, c. 5, s. 11; 2019, c. 14, s. 64; 2021, c. 14, s. 22.

21.4.23. In computing, in a functional currency year of a taxpayer, the amount for which a pre-transition debt of the taxpayer (other than a pre-transition debt denominated in the taxpayer’s elected functional currency) was issued and its principal amount at the beginning of the taxpayer’s first functional currency year, those amounts are to be converted from the pre-transition debt currency to the taxpayer’s elected functional currency using the relevant spot rate for the last day of the taxpayer’s last Canadian currency year.

2010, c. 5, s. 11.

21.4.24. A pre-transition debt of a taxpayer that is denominated in a currency other than the taxpayer’s elected functional currency is deemed to have been issued immediately before the taxpayer’s first functional currency year for the purpose of

(a)  computing the amount of the taxpayer’s income, gain or loss, for a functional currency year of the taxpayer (other than an amount that section 21.4.25 deems to arise), that is attributable to a fluctuation in the value of a currency; and

(b)  applying subparagraph l of the first paragraph of section 485.3 in respect of a functional currency year of the taxpayer.

2010, c. 5, s. 11.

21.4.25. If a taxpayer has, in a taxation year that is a functional currency year or a reversionary year of the taxpayer, made a particular payment on account of the principal amount of a pre-transition debt of the taxpayer, the following rules apply:

(a)  if the taxpayer would have made a gain—or, if the pre-transition debt was not on account of capital, would have had income—(in the second paragraph referred to as the “hypothetical gain or income”) attributable to a fluctuation in the value of a currency if the pre-transition debt had been settled by the taxpayer’s having paid, immediately before the end of the taxpayer’s last Canadian currency year, an amount equal to the principal amount (expressed in the currency in which the pre-transition debt is denominated, which currency is in this section referred to as the “debt currency”) at that time, the taxpayer is deemed to make a gain or to have income, as the case may be, for the taxation year equal to the amount determined by the formula

A × B / C; and

(b)  if the taxpayer would have sustained a loss—or, if the pre-transition debt was not on account of capital, would have had a loss—(in this subparagraph referred to as the “hypothetical loss”) attributable to a fluctuation in the value of a currency if the pre-transition debt had been settled by the taxpayer’s having paid, immediately before the end of the taxpayer’s last Canadian currency year, an amount equal to the principal amount (expressed in the debt currency) at that time, the taxpayer is deemed to sustain or to have a loss in respect of the particular payment for the taxation year equal to the amount that would be determined by the formula in subparagraph a if the reference to “hypothetical gain or income” in subparagraph i of subparagraph a of the second paragraph were read as a reference to “hypothetical loss”.

In the formula in subparagraph a of the first paragraph,

(a)  A is

i.  if the taxation year is a functional currency year of the taxpayer, the amount of the hypothetical gain or income converted to the taxpayer’s elected functional currency using the relevant spot rate for the last day of the taxpayer’s last Canadian currency year, and

ii.  if the taxation year is a reversionary year of the taxpayer, the amount determined under subparagraph i converted to Canadian currency using the relevant spot rate for the last day of the taxpayer’s last functional currency year;

(b)  B is the amount of the particular payment (expressed in the debt currency); and

(c)  C is the principal amount of the pre-transition debt at the beginning of the taxpayer’s first functional currency year (expressed in the debt currency).

2010, c. 5, s. 11.

21.4.25.1. For the purpose of determining a taxpayer’s gain under section 21.4.25, if at a particular time a pre-transition debt of the taxpayer (in this section referred to as the “debtor”) that is denominated in a currency other than Canadian currency becomes a parked obligation (within the meaning assigned by section 262.0.0.2), the debtor is deemed to have made, at that time, a particular payment on account of the principal amount of the debt equal to

(a)  if the debt has become a parked obligation at that particular time as a result of its acquisition by the holder of the debt, the portion of the amount paid by the holder to acquire the debt that can reasonably be considered to relate to the principal amount of the debt at the particular time; and

(b)  in any other case, the portion of the fair market value of the debt that can reasonably be considered to relate to the principal amount of the debt at the particular time.

2019, c. 14, s. 65.

21.4.26. Despite sections 21.4.19 and 21.4.22, for the purposes of this Act and the Tax Administration Act (chapter A-6.002) in respect of a functional currency year (in this section referred to as the “particular taxation year”) of a taxpayer, the following rules apply:

(a)  for the purpose of computing the payments that the taxpayer is required to make in relation to the particular taxation year under subparagraph a of the first paragraph of section 1027, or any of sections 1145, 1159.7, 1175 and 1175.19 if they refer to that subparagraph a:

i.  each estimated amount described in subparagraph i of that subparagraph a, or in subparagraph 1 of subparagraph iii of that subparagraph a, that is payable by the taxpayer for the particular taxation year is to be determined by converting that amount, as determined in the taxpayer’s elected functional currency, to Canadian currency using the relevant spot rate for the day on or before which the amount is required to be paid,

ii.  the taxpayer’s first basic provisional account referred to in subparagraph i of that subparagraph a for the particular taxation year is to be determined, if the particular taxation year is the taxpayer’s first functional currency year, without reference to this chapter and, in any other case, as if the tax payable by the taxpayer for the taxpayer’s functional currency year (in this paragraph referred to as the “first base year”) preceding the particular taxation year were equal to the total of

(1)  the aggregate of the payments that the taxpayer is required to make under subparagraph a of the first paragraph of section 1027, or any of sections 1145, 1159.7, 1175 and 1175.19 if they refer to that subparagraph a, as the case may be, determined in accordance with this subparagraph ii or with subparagraph i or iii, as the case may be, in respect of the first base year, and

(2)  the remainder of the tax payable by the taxpayer under subparagraph b of the first paragraph of section 1027, or any of sections 1145, 1159.7, 1175 and 1175.19 if they refer to that subparagraph b, as the case may be, determined in accordance with paragraph b, in respect of the first base year,

iii.  the taxpayer’s second basic provisional account described in subparagraph ii of that subparagraph a for the particular taxation year is to be determined, if the particular taxation year is the taxpayer’s first functional currency year or the taxpayer’s taxation year that follows the taxpayer’s first functional currency year, without reference to this chapter and, in any other case, as if the tax payable by the taxpayer for the taxpayer’s functional currency year (in this subparagraph referred to as the “second base year”) preceding the first base year were equal to the total of

(1)  the aggregate of the payments that the taxpayer is required to make under subparagraph a of the first paragraph of section 1027, or any of sections 1145, 1159.7, 1175 and 1175.19 if they refer to that subparagraph a, as the case may be, determined in accordance with this subparagraph iii or with subparagraph i or ii, as the case may be, in respect of the second base year, and

(2)  the remainder of the tax payable by the taxpayer under subparagraph b of the first paragraph of section 1027, or any of sections 1145, 1159.7, 1175 and 1175.19 if they refer to that subparagraph b, as the case may be, determined in accordance with paragraph b, in respect of the second base year, and

iv.  those payments must correspond to the payments based on a method described in that subparagraph a that is referred to in the fourth paragraph of section 1038 in respect of the taxpayer in relation to the particular taxation year;

(b)  the remainder of the tax payable by the taxpayer for the particular taxation year under subparagraph b of the first paragraph of section 1027, or any of sections 1145, 1159.7, 1175 and 1175.19 if they refer to that subparagraph b, is equal to the amount obtained by converting to Canadian currency, using the relevant spot rate for the taxpayer’s balance-due day for the particular taxation year, the amount by which the tax payable by the taxpayer under this Part or under any of Parts IV, IV.1, VI and VI.1, as the case may be, for the particular taxation year, expressed in the taxpayer’s elected functional currency, exceeds the aggregate of all amounts each of which is the amount obtained by converting the amount of a payment that the taxpayer is required to make in relation to that Part in respect of the particular taxation year, determined under subparagraph a of the first paragraph of section 1027, or any of sections 1145, 1159.7, 1175 and 1175.19 if they refer to that subparagraph a, as the case may be, and with reference to any of subparagraphs i, ii and iii of subparagraph a, to the taxpayer’s elected functional currency using the relevant spot rate for the day on or before which the payment is required to be made;

(c)  for the purpose of computing an amount (other than tax) that is payable by the taxpayer for the particular taxation year under this Part or under any of Parts IV, IV.1, VI and VI.1, or under the Tax Administration Act in relation to an amount that is payable under any of those Parts, the tax payable by the taxpayer for the particular taxation year under that Part is deemed to be equal to the total of

i.  the aggregate of the payments that the taxpayer is required to make under subparagraph a of the first paragraph of section 1027, or any of sections 1145, 1159.7, 1175 and 1175.19 if they refer to that subparagraph a, as the case may be, determined in accordance with any of subparagraphs i, ii and iii of subparagraph a in respect of the particular taxation year, and

ii.  the remainder of the tax payable by the taxpayer under subparagraph b of the first paragraph of section 1027, or any of sections 1145, 1159.7, 1175 and 1175.19 if they refer to that subparagraph b, as the case may be, determined in accordance with paragraph b, in respect of the particular taxation year;

(d)  any amount of tax that is payable under this Act (otherwise than under this Part or under any of Parts IV, IV.1, VI and VI.1) by the taxpayer for the particular taxation year is, if applicable, to be determined by converting the amount, as determined in the taxpayer’s elected functional currency, to Canadian currency using the relevant spot rate for the day on or before which the amount is required to be paid;

(e)  in relation to any particular amount that is deemed under this Part to have been paid at a particular time on account of an amount payable by the taxpayer under this Act for the particular taxation year,

i.  if, for the purpose of computing the payments that the taxpayer is required to make under subparagraph a of the first paragraph of section 1027, or any of sections 1145, 1159.7, 1175 and 1175.19 if they refer to that subparagraph a, a particular provision of this Part establishes the portion of the particular amount that the taxpayer is deemed to have paid to the Minister on account of the aggregate of the taxpayer’s tax payable for the particular taxation year under this Part and the taxpayer’s tax payable for the particular taxation year under Parts IV, IV.1, VI and VI.1, on the date on or before which each of those payments is required to be made,

(1)  the first excess amount referred to in the computation, provided for in that particular provision, of the portion of the particular amount in relation to a particular date is to be determined with reference to the particular amount as determined in the taxpayer’s elected functional currency and by converting each portion of the particular amount, referred to in relation to an earlier date in the computation of that excess amount and as determined in Canadian currency, to the taxpayer’s elected functional currency using the relevant spot rate for that earlier date, and is equal to the amount obtained by converting that excess amount so determined to Canadian currency using the relevant spot rate for the particular date, and

(2)  the amount by which the particular amount, as determined in the taxpayer’s elected functional currency, exceeds the aggregate of all amounts each of which is the amount obtained by converting the amount—determined, with reference to subparagraph 1, in Canadian currency under the particular provision in respect of the particular amount in relation to a particular date—to the taxpayer’s elected functional currency using the relevant spot rate for the particular date, is to be converted to Canadian currency using the relevant spot rate for the day that includes the particular time, and

ii.  if subparagraph i does not apply in respect of the particular amount, the particular amount, as determined in the taxpayer’s elected functional currency, is to be converted to Canadian currency using the relevant spot rate for the day that includes the particular time;

(f)  for the purpose of applying the second paragraph of section 1135.1 to the taxpayer in respect of the particular taxation year, the excess amount referred to in subparagraph i of subparagraph b of that second paragraph in relation to a particular date is to be determined with reference to the amount determined in accordance with the first paragraph of that section, as determined in the taxpayer’s elected functional currency and by converting each portion of that amount, referred to in relation to an earlier date in the computation of that excess amount and as determined in Canadian currency, to the taxpayer’s elected functional currency using the relevant spot rate for that earlier date, and is equal to the amount obtained by converting that excess amount so determined to Canadian currency using the relevant spot rate for the particular date;

(g)  for the purposes of section 1.2.1 of the Tax Administration Act, the amount of the taxpayer’s paid-up capital for the particular taxation year, as determined in the taxpayer’s elected functional currency and in the manner provided for in that section, is to be converted to Canadian currency using the relevant spot rate for the last day of the particular taxation year;

(h)  for the purposes of section 59.2.2 of the Tax Administration Act, the amount of an income referred to in the first paragraph of that section in relation to the particular taxation year, as determined in the taxpayer’s elected functional currency, is to be converted to Canadian currency using the relevant spot rate for the taxpayer’s balance-due day for the particular taxation year; and

(i)  any amount payable by the taxpayer for the particular taxation year under this Act, or under the Tax Administration Act in relation to such an amount, is to be paid in Canadian currency.

2010, c. 5, s. 11; 2010, c. 31, s. 175.

21.4.27. For the purpose of applying this Act to a taxpayer’s reversionary year, sections 21.4.22 and 21.4.23 are to be read as if

(a)  “Canadian currency year” was replaced in the following provisions by “functional currency year”:

i.  the portion of section 21.4.22 before paragraph a,

ii.  subparagraph ii of paragraph a of section 21.4.22,

iii.  paragraphs b and c of section 21.4.22,

iv.  subparagraph ii of paragraph d of section 21.4.22,

v.  paragraphs e to g of section 21.4.22, and

vi.  section 21.4.23;

(b)  “functional currency year” was replaced wherever it appears in the following provisions by “reversionary year”:

i.  the portion of section 21.4.22 before paragraph a, and

ii.  section 21.4.23;

(c)  “pre-transition debt” was replaced wherever it appears in section 21.4.23 by “pre-reversion debt”;

i.  the portion of section 21.4.22 before paragraph a, and

ii.  section 21.4.23; and

(e)  “Canadian currency” in the portion of section 21.4.22 before paragraph a was replaced by “the taxpayer’s elected functional currency”.

2010, c. 5, s. 11.

21.4.28. A pre-reversion debt of a taxpayer that is denominated in a currency other than Canadian currency is deemed to have been issued immediately before the taxpayer’s first reversionary year for the purpose of

(a)  computing the amount of the taxpayer’s income, gain or loss, for a reversionary year of the taxpayer (other than an amount that section 21.4.29 deems to arise), that is attributable to a fluctuation in the value of a currency; and

(b)  applying subparagraph l of the first paragraph of section 485.3 in respect of a reversionary year of the taxpayer.

2010, c. 5, s. 11.

21.4.29. If a taxpayer has, in a reversionary year of the taxpayer, made a particular payment on account of the principal amount of a pre-reversion debt of the taxpayer, the following rules apply:

(a)  if the taxpayer would have made a gain—or, if the pre-reversion debt was not on account of capital, would have had income—(in the second paragraph referred to as the “hypothetical gain or income”) attributable to a fluctuation in the value of a currency if the pre-reversion debt had been settled by the taxpayer’s having paid, immediately before the end of the taxpayer’s last functional currency year, an amount equal to the principal amount (expressed in the currency in which the pre-reversion debt is denominated, which currency is in this section referred to as the “debt currency”) at that time, the taxpayer is deemed to make a gain or to have income, as the case may be, for the reversionary year equal to the amount determined by the formula

A × B/C; and

(b)  if the taxpayer would have sustained a loss—or, if the pre-reversion debt was not on account of capital, would have had a loss—(in this subparagraph referred to as the “hypothetical loss”) attributable to a fluctuation in the value of a currency if the pre-reversion debt had been settled by the taxpayer’s having paid, immediately before the end of the taxpayer’s last functional currency year, an amount equal to the principal amount (expressed in the debt currency) at that time, the taxpayer is deemed to sustain or to have a loss in respect of the particular payment for the reversionary year equal to the amount that would be determined by the formula in subparagraph a if the reference to “hypothetical gain or income” in subparagraph a of the second paragraph were read as a reference to “hypothetical loss”.

In the formula in subparagraph a of the first paragraph,

(a)  A is the amount of the hypothetical gain or income converted to Canadian currency using the relevant spot rate for the last day of the taxpayer’s last functional currency year;

(b)  B is the amount of the particular payment (expressed in the debt currency); and

(c)  C is the principal amount of the pre-reversion debt at the beginning of the taxpayer’s first reversionary year (expressed in the debt currency).

2010, c. 5, s. 11.

21.4.29.1. For the purpose of determining a taxpayer’s gain under section 21.4.29, if at a particular time a pre-reversion debt of the taxpayer (in this section referred to as the “debtor”) that is denominated in a currency other than the taxpayer’s functional currency becomes a parked obligation (within the meaning assigned by section 262.0.0.2), the debtor is deemed to have made, at that time, a particular payment on account of the principal amount of the debt equal to

(a)  if the debt has become a parked obligation at that particular time as a result of its acquisition by the holder of the debt, the portion of the amount paid by the holder to acquire the debt that can reasonably be considered to relate to the principal amount of the debt at the particular time; and

(b)  in any other case, the portion of the fair market value of the debt that can reasonably be considered to relate to the principal amount of the debt at the particular time.

2019, c. 14, s. 66.

21.4.30. For the purpose of computing the amount that may be deducted, or that is deemed to have been paid to the Minister, by a taxpayer, in respect of a particular amount that arises in a subsequent taxation year, under any of sections 727 to 737, 772.12, 776.1.9, 1029.8.36.166.47, 1029.8.36.166.60.52 and 1029.8.36.171.2 in computing the taxpayer’s Québec tax results for a particular taxation year, the following rules apply:

(a)  if the subsequent taxation year is a functional currency year of the taxpayer and the particular taxation year is a Canadian currency year of the taxpayer, the following amounts (expressed in the taxpayer’s elected functional currency) are to be converted to Canadian currency using the relevant spot rate for the last day of the taxpayer’s last Canadian currency year:

i.  the particular amount, and

ii.  any amount so deducted, or so deemed to have been paid to the Minister, in computing the taxpayer’s Québec tax results for another functional currency year of the taxpayer;

(b)  if the subsequent taxation year is a reversionary year of the taxpayer and the particular taxation year is a functional currency year of the taxpayer,

i.  the following amounts (expressed in Canadian currency) are to be converted to the taxpayer’s elected functional currency using the relevant spot rate for the last day of the taxpayer’s last functional currency year:

(1)  the particular amount, and

(2)  any amount so deducted, or so deemed to have been paid to the Minister, in computing the taxpayer’s Québec tax results for another reversionary year of the taxpayer, and

ii.  any amount (expressed in Canadian currency) so deducted, or so deemed to have been paid to the Minister, in computing the taxpayer’s Québec tax results for a Canadian currency year of the taxpayer is to be converted to the taxpayer’s elected functional currency using the relevant spot rate for the last day of the taxpayer’s last Canadian currency year;

(c)  if the subsequent taxation year is a reversionary year of the taxpayer and the particular taxation year is a Canadian currency year of the taxpayer, the following amounts (expressed in the taxpayer’s elected functional currency) are to be converted to Canadian currency using the relevant spot rate for the last day of the taxpayer’s last Canadian currency year:

i.  the amount that would be determined under subparagraph 1 of subparagraph i of paragraph b in respect of the particular amount if the particular taxation year were a functional currency year of the taxpayer, and

ii.  any amount so deducted, or so deemed to have been paid to the Minister, in computing the taxpayer’s Québec tax results for a functional currency year of the taxpayer; and

(d)  in any other case, this section does not apply.

2010, c. 5, s. 11; 2021, c. 14, s. 23.

21.4.31. If a winding-up described in section 556 begins at a particular time and the parent and the subsidiary referred to in that section would, in the absence of this section, have different tax reporting currencies at that time, the following rules apply for the purpose of computing the subsidiary’s Québec tax results for its taxation years that end after the particular time:

(a)  if the subsidiary’s tax reporting currency is Canadian currency,

i.  despite section 21.4.18, section 21.4.19 is deemed to apply to the subsidiary in respect of its taxation year that includes the particular time and each of its subsequent taxation years,

ii.  the subsidiary is deemed to have as its elected functional currency the parent’s tax reporting currency, and

iii.  if the subsidiary’s taxation year that includes the particular time would, in the absence of this section, be a reversionary year of the subsidiary, this chapter applies with the necessary modifications; and

(b)  if neither the subsidiary’s tax reporting currency nor the parent’s tax reporting currency is Canadian currency,

i.  the subsidiary’s first reversionary year is deemed to end at the given time that is immediately after the time at which it began,

ii.  a new taxation year of the subsidiary is deemed to begin immediately after the given time,

iii.  despite section 21.4.18, section 21.4.19 is deemed to apply to the subsidiary in respect of its taxation year that includes the particular time and each of its subsequent taxation years, and

iv.  the subsidiary is deemed to have as its elected functional currency the parent’s tax reporting currency.

2010, c. 5, s. 11.

21.4.32. If, in respect of an amalgamation within the meaning of section 544, a predecessor corporation has a tax reporting currency for its last taxation year that is different from that of the new corporation for its first taxation year, paragraphs a and b of section 21.4.31 apply, for the purpose of computing the predecessor corporation’s Québec tax results for its last taxation year, as if the tax reporting currencies referred to in those paragraphs were the tax reporting currencies referred to in this section and as if

(a)  “subsidiary” and “subsidiary’s” were replaced wherever they appear in the following provisions by “predecessor corporation” and “predecessor corporation’s”, respectively:

i.  the portion of that paragraph a before subparagraph iii,

ii.  that paragraph b;

(b)  “the subsidiary’s taxation year that includes the particular time” in subparagraph iii of that paragraph a was replaced by “the predecessor corporation’s last taxation year”;

(c)  “parent’s” was replaced in the following provisions by “new corporation’s”:

i.  subparagraph ii of that paragraph a,

ii.  the portion of that paragraph b before subparagraph i, and

iii.  subparagraph iv of that paragraph  b; and

(d)  “its taxation year that includes the particular time and each of its subsequent taxation years” was replaced in the following provisions by “its last taxation year”:

i.  subparagraph i of that paragraph a, and

ii.  subparagraph iii of that paragraph b.

2010, c. 5, s. 11.

21.4.33. If, for the purposes of the Income Tax Act (R.S.C. 1985, c. 1 (5th Suppl.)), the Canadian tax results of a corporation, within the meaning of subsection 1 of section 261 of that Act, for one or more taxation years are to be computed, under subsection 18 of that section 261, using the particular currency referred to in that subsection 18, the Québec tax results of the corporation for that taxation year or for those taxation years are to be computed, subject to the second paragraph, using that particular currency.

The Québec tax results of a corporation for one or more taxation years are to be computed using a given currency if

(a)  at any time (in this paragraph referred to as the “transfer time”) one or more properties are directly or indirectly transferred

i.  by the corporation to another corporation (in this paragraph referred to as the “transferor” and the “transferee”, respectively), or

ii.  by another corporation to the corporation (in this paragraph referred to as the “transferor” and the “transferee”, respectively);

(b)  the transferor and the transferee are related at the transfer time or become related in the course of a series of transactions or events that includes the transfer;

(c)  the transfer time

i.  is, or would in the absence of sections 21.4.31 and 21.4.32 be, in a functional currency year of the transferor and the transferor and the transferee have, or would in the absence of those sections have, different tax reporting currencies at the transfer time, or

ii.  is, or would in the absence of sections 21.4.31 and 21.4.32 be, in a reversionary year of the transferor and is not in a reversionary year of the transferee;

(d)  it can reasonably be considered that one of the main purposes of the transfer or of any portion of a series of transactions or events that includes the transfer is to change, or to enable the changing of, the currency in which the Québec tax results in respect of the property, or property substituted for it, for a taxation year would otherwise be determined; and

(e)  the Minister directs that those Québec tax results be computed in the given currency.

2010, c. 5, s. 11.

21.4.34. For the purposes of the second paragraph of section 21.4.33, if two or more corporations (each of which is in this section referred to as a “predecessor corporation”) are amalgamated or otherwise merged at a particular time to form one corporate entity (in this section referred to as the “new corporation”), the following rules apply:

(a)  the predecessor corporation is deemed to have transferred to the new corporation at the time (in this section referred to as the “merger transfer time”) that is immediately before the particular time each property that was held at the merger transfer time by the predecessor corporation and at the particular time by the new corporation;

(b)  the new corporation is deemed to exist, and to be related to the predecessor corporation, at the merger transfer time; and

(c)  the new corporation is deemed to have as its tax reporting currency at the merger transfer time its tax reporting currency at the particular time.

2010, c. 5, s. 11.

21.4.35. The rule set out in section 21.4.36 applies for the purpose of computing a taxpayer’s income, gain or loss for a taxation year in respect of a transaction (in this section and section 21.4.36 referred to as a “specified transaction”) if

(a)  the specified transaction was entered into, directly or indirectly, at any time by the taxpayer and a corporation (in this section referred to as the “related corporation”) to which the taxpayer was at that time related;

(b)  the taxpayer and the related corporation had different tax reporting currencies during the period (in this section referred to as the “accrual period”) in which the income, gain or loss accrued; and

(c)  it would, in the absence of this section and section 21.4.36, be reasonable to consider that a fluctuation during the accrual period in the value of the taxpayer’s tax reporting currency relative to the value of the related corporation’s tax reporting currency

i.  increased the taxpayer’s loss in respect of the specified transaction,

ii.  reduced the taxpayer’s income or gain in respect of the specified transaction, or

iii.  caused the taxpayer to have a loss, instead of income or a gain, in respect of the specified transaction.

2010, c. 5, s. 11.

21.4.36. The rule to which section 21.4.35 refers is the rule according to which each fluctuation in value referred to in paragraph c of that section is, for the purpose of computing a taxpayer’s income, gain or loss in respect of the specified transaction and despite any other provision of this Act, deemed not to have occurred.

2010, c. 5, s. 11.

21.4.37. For the purposes of this section and sections 21.4.33 to 21.4.36, the following rules apply:

(a)  if a property is directly or indirectly transferred to or by a partnership, the property is deemed to have been transferred to or by, as the case may be, each member of the partnership; and

(b)  if a partnership is a party to a transaction, each member of the partnership is deemed to be that party to that transaction.

(a)  in the case of the taxpayer, the fiscal return the taxpayer is required to file under section 1000 for the year; or

(b)  in the case of the partnership, the information return it is required to file for the fiscal period under section 1086R78 of the Regulation respecting the Taxation Act (chapter I-3, r. 1).

2023, c. 19, s. 14.

CHAPTER VI TERM PREFERRED SHARES

ii.  unless the requirement to redeem, acquire or cancel the share arises by reason only of right to convert or exchange the share, or

(c)  a person provides or may be required to provide a guarantee or similar indemnity or covenant, including the lending of funds to or the placing of amounts on deposit with, or on behalf of, the owner thereof or any person related thereto, with respect to the share.

1990, c. 59, s. 17; 1997, c. 3, s. 71.

21.8.

21.9.3.

1984, c. 15, s. 10; 1997, c. 3, s. 71.

21.9.4.1.

21.10. Where a specified financial institution resident in Canada receives, in a taxation year, from a corporation not resident in Canada an amount as a dividend on a term preferred share, the amount is deemed, for the purposes of paragraphs c and l of section 87 and sections 746 to 749 and 772.2 to 772.13, to be received in the year as interest and not as a dividend on a share of the capital stock of a corporation.

1982, c. 5, s. 11; 1990, c. 59, s. 21; 1993, c. 16, s. 365; 1994, c. 22, s. 56; 1994, c. 22, s. 649; 1997, c. 3, s. 71.

21.10.2. Section 21.10 does not apply in respect of a dividend described in that section

(a)  if the share on which the dividend is paid was not acquired by the specified financial institution in the ordinary course of the business it carried on; or

(b)  to the extent that the dividend would be described in subparagraph ii of paragraph j of section 257 if the corporation not resident in Canada were not a foreign affiliate of the specified financial institution.

1982, c. 5, s. 11; 2019, c. 14, s. 67.

21.11. Notwithstanding section 119, where an amount is paid or payable after 1978 as interest or as an amount in lieu of interest in respect of a dividend that became payable or in arrears after 16 November 1978 and the dividend is in respect of a share that is not a term preferred share by reason of having been issued before 17 November 1978 or pursuant to an agreement in writing referred to in paragraph a of section 21.6, the amount is, for the purposes of section 740.1 and the second paragraph of section 845, deemed to be a dividend received on a term preferred share.

(b)  a share that is convertible or exchangeable at any time within five years from the date of its issue, unless

i.  it is convertible into or exchangeable for

(1)  another share of the corporation or a corporation related to the corporation that, if issued, would not be a short-term preferred share;

(2)  a right or warrant that, if exercised, would allow the person exercising it to acquire only a share of the corporation or a corporation related to the corporation that, if issued, would not be a short-term preferred share, or

(3)  both a share described in subparagraph 1 and a right or warrant described in subparagraph 2, and

ii.  all the consideration receivable for the share on the conversion or exchange is the share described in subparagraph 1 of subparagraph i or the right or warrant described in subparagraph 2 of the said subparagraph i or both such share and such right or warrant, and, for the purposes of this subparagraph, where a taxpayer may become entitled upon the conversion or exchange of a share to receive any particular consideration, other than consideration described in any of subparagraphs 1 to 3 of subparagraph i, in lieu of a fraction of a share, the particular consideration is deemed not to be consideration unless it may reasonably be considered that the particular consideration was receivable as part of a series of transactions or events one of the main purposes of which was to avoid or limit the application of Part IV.1 or VI.1 of the Income Tax Act (Revised Statutes of Canada, 1985, chapter 1, 5th Supplement).

1990, c. 59, s. 23; 1997, c. 3, s. 71.

21.11.12. For the purposes of this chapter, the following rules apply:

(a)  where at any particular time after 15 December 1987, otherwise than pursuant to a written arrangement entered into before 16 December 1987, the terms or conditions of a share of the capital stock of a corporation that are relevant to any matter referred to in any of paragraphs a and b of section 21.11.11 or d and f of this section are established or modified, or any agreement in respect of any such matter to which the corporation or a specified person in relation to it is a party, is entered into or changed, the share is deemed after that particular time to have been issued at that particular time;

(b)  where, at any particular time after 15 December 1987, a particular share of the capital stock of a corporation has been issued or its terms or conditions have been modified or an agreement in respect of the share is entered into or modified, the particular share is deemed after that particular time to have been issued at that particular time and to be a short-term preferred share of the corporation, if it may reasonably be considered, having regard to all the circumstances, including the rate of interest on any debt obligation or the dividend provided on any short-term preferred share, that

i.  but for the existence at any time of such a debt obligation or such a short-term preferred share, the particular share would not have been issued or its terms or conditions modified or the agreement in respect of the share would not have been entered into or modified;

ii.  one of the main purposes for the issue of the particular share or the modification of its terms or conditions or the entering into or modification of the agreement in respect of the share was to avoid or limit the tax payable under subsection 1 of section 191.1 of the Income Tax Act (Revised Statutes of Canada, 1985, chapter 1, 5th Supplement);

(c)  where at any particular time after 15 December 1987, otherwise than pursuant to a written arrangement entered into before 16 December 1987, the terms or conditions of a share of the capital stock of a corporation are established or modified or any agreement in respect of the share has been entered into or changed, and as a consequence thereof the corporation or a specified person in relation to it may reasonably be expected to acquire, cancel or redeem the share, in whole or in part, otherwise than by reason of the death of the shareholder or by reason only of a right to convert or exchange the share that would not cause the share to be a short-term preferred share by reason of paragraph b of section 21.11.11, or to reduce its paid-up capital, within five years from the particular time, the share is deemed to have been issued at that particular time and to be a short-term preferred share of the corporation from the particular time until the time that such reasonable expectation ceases to exist;

i.  the share is a grandfathered share and the arrangement is a written arrangement entered into before 16 December 1987, or

ii.  the share is issued to an individual after 14 April 2005 under an agreement referred to in section 48, if at the time the individual last acquired a right under the agreement to acquire a share of the capital stock of the corporation, the existence of the corporation was not, and no arrangement was in effect under which it could be, limited to a period that was within five years from that time;

(e)  where a share of the capital stock of a corporation is acquired at any time after 15 December 1987 by the corporation or a specified person in relation to it and the share is at any particular time after that time acquired from the corporation or a specified person in relation to it by a person with whom the corporation or a specified person in relation to it was dealing at arm’s length if this Part were read without reference to paragraph b of section 20, the share is deemed after that particular time to have been issued at that particular time;

(f)  where at any particular time after 15 December 1987, otherwise than pursuant to a written arrangement entered into before 16 December 1987, as a result of the terms or conditions of a share of the capital stock of a corporation or any agreement entered into by the corporation or a specified person in relation to it, any person, other than the corporation or an individual other than a trust, was obligated, either absolutely or contingently and either immediately or in the future, to effect any undertaking within five years after the date on which the share was issued, including any guarantee, covenant or agreement to purchase or repurchase the share, and including the lending of funds to or the placing of amounts on deposit with, or on behalf of, the shareholder or a specified person in relation to the shareholder, the share is deemed after that particular time to have been issued at the particular time and to be at and immediately after the particular time a short-term preferred share, if the undertaking is given

i.  to ensure that any loss that the shareholder or a specified person in relation to the shareholder may sustain by reason of the ownership, holding or disposition of the share or any other property is limited in any respect, and

ii.  as part of a transaction or event or series of transactions or events that included the issuance of the share;

(g)  for the purposes of paragraph f where the undertaking referred to therein in respect of a share is given after 15 December 1987, otherwise than pursuant to a written arrangement entered into before 16 December 1987, the share is deemed to have been issued at that time and the undertaking is deemed to have been given as part of a series of transactions that included the issuance of the share;

(h)  a share that is, at the time a dividend is paid thereon, a share described in section 21.6.1 during the applicable time period referred to in that section or a prescribed share is, notwithstanding any other provision of this chapter, deemed not to be a short-term preferred share at that time;

(i)  the expression “specified person” has the meaning assigned by paragraph f of section 21.11.16.

i.  in the case of a share, other than a share that would, but for that part of the agreement, be a taxable preferred share, the agreement in respect of which provides that the share is to be acquired within 60 days after the date on which the agreement was entered into, that does not exceed the greater of the fair market value of the share at the time the agreement was entered into, determined without reference to the agreement, and the fair market value of the share at the time of the acquisition, determined without reference to the agreement;

ii.  in any other case, that does not exceed the fair market value of the share at the time of the acquisition, determined without reference to the agreement, or for an amount determined by reference to the assets or earnings of the corporation where such determination may reasonably be considered to be used to determine an amount that does not exceed the fair market value of the share at the time of the acquisition, determined without reference to the agreement;

(2)  all the consideration receivable for the share on the conversion or exchange is the particular share or the right or warrant described in subparagraph 1 or both such share and such right or warrant, and for the purposes of this subparagraph, where a taxpayer may become entitled upon the conversion or exchange of a share to receive any particular consideration, other than consideration described in subparagraph 1, in lieu of a fraction of a share, the particular consideration is deemed not to be consideration unless it may reasonably be considered that the particular consideration was receivable as part of a series of transactions or events one of the main purposes of which was to avoid or limit the application of Part IV.1 or VI.1 of the Income Tax Act (Revised Statutes of Canada, 1985, chapter 1, 5th Supplement), or

iv.  any person, other than the corporation, was, at or immediately before that particular time, obligated, either absolutely or contingently and either immediately or in the future, to effect any undertaking, in this chapter referred to as a “guarantee agreement”, including any guarantee, covenant or agreement to purchase or repurchase the share, and including the lending of funds to or the placing of amounts on deposit with, or on behalf of, the shareholder or any specified person in relation to the shareholder, given

1989, c. 5, s. 28; 1997, c. 3, s. 71.

21.24. Where a particular corporation would, but for this section, be associated with another corporation in a taxation year by reason of being controlled, directly or indirectly in any manner whatever, by the other corporation or by reason of both of the corporations being controlled, directly or indirectly in any manner whatever, by the same person at a particular time in the year and it is established to the satisfaction of the Minister that the conditions set out in the second paragraph are fulfilled, the two corporations are deemed, for the purposes of this Part, not to be associated with each other in the year.

The conditions referred to in the first paragraph are as follows:

(a)  there was in effect at the particular time an enforceable agreement or arrangement under which, upon the happening of an event or the satisfaction of a condition that it is reasonable to expect will happen or be satisfied, the particular corporation will cease to be controlled, directly or indirectly in any manner whatever, by the other corporation or the person so controlling the particular corporation and will be or become controlled, directly or indirectly in any manner whatever, by a person or group of persons with whom or with each of the members of which, as the case may be, the other corporation or the person so controlling the particular corporation was at the particular time dealing at arm’s length;

(b)  the purpose for which the particular corporation was at the particular time so controlled was the safeguarding of rights or interests of the other corporation or the person so controlling the particular corporation in respect of any indebtedness owing to the other corporation or the person so controlling the particular corporation the whole or any part of the principal amount of which was outstanding at the particular time, or in respect of any shares of the capital stock of the particular corporation that were owned by the other corporation or the person so controlling the particular corporation at the particular time and that were, under the enforceable agreement or arrangement referred to in subparagraph a, to be redeemed by the particular corporation or purchased by the person or group of persons referred to in subparagraph a who are to acquire control of the particular corporation.

1989, c. 5, s. 28; 1990, c. 59, s. 31; 1997, c. 3, s. 71.

21.25. For the purposes of this Part, where the expression “controlled, directly or indirectly in any manner whatever,” is used, a corporation is deemed to be so controlled by another corporation, a person or a group of persons at any time where, at that time, the other corporation, the person or the group of persons has any direct or indirect influence that, if exercised, would result in control in fact of the corporation.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, where the corporation and the other corporation, the person or the group of persons are dealing with each other at arm’s length and the influence referred to in the first paragraph is derived from a franchise, licence, lease, distribution, supply or management agreement or other similar agreement or arrangement, the main purpose of which is to govern the relationship between the corporation and the other corporation, the person or the group of persons regarding the manner in which the business carried on by the corporation is to be conducted, the corporation shall not be considered to be controlled, directly or indirectly in any manner whatever, by the other corporation, the person or the group of persons by reason only of such agreement or arrangement.

1990, c. 59, s. 32; 1997, c. 3, s. 71.

21.25.1. For the purposes of this Part and for the purpose of determining whether a taxpayer has, in respect of a corporation, any direct or indirect influence that, if exercised, would result in control in fact of the corporation, the following rules apply:

(a)  all factors that are relevant in the circumstances must be taken into consideration; and

(b)  the determination must not be limited to, and the relevant factors need not include, whether the taxpayer has a legally enforceable right or ability to effect a change in the board of directors of the corporation, or its powers, or to exercise influence over the shareholder or shareholders who have that right or ability.

2020, c. 16, s. 30.

(d)  where the taxpayer is an insurer, any amount in respect of the loan or lending asset that was deemed, by reason of paragraph a of section 830 as it read for the taxation year 1977, to be a gain for any taxation year ending at or before the particular time;

(b)  it may reasonably be expected, at the particular time, that the borrower will, at a later time, transfer or return to the lender a security, in this chapter referred to as an “identical security”, that is identical to the security transferred or lent by the lender to the borrower at the particular time,

21.29. For the purposes of this Part, subject to sections 21.30 and 21.31, any transfer or loan by a lender of a security under a securities lending arrangement is deemed not to be a disposition of the security and the security is deemed to continue to be property of the lender.

For the purposes of this section, a security is deemed to include an identical security that has been transferred or returned to the lender under the securities lending arrangement.

1991, c. 25, s. 5.

21.30. For the purposes of this Part, where, at any time, a lender receives property in satisfaction of or in exchange for the lender’s right under a securities lending arrangement to receive the transfer or return of an identical security and the property received at that time is neither an identical property nor an amount deemed, under section 21.31, to have been received as proceeds of disposition, the following rules apply:

1991, c. 25, s. 5; 1998, c. 16, s. 23.

21.31. Where, at any time, it may reasonably be considered that a lender would have received proceeds of disposition for a security that was transferred or lent under a securities lending arrangement had the security not been so transferred or lent, the lender is deemed to have disposed of the security at that time for an amount equal to such proceeds.

1991, c. 25, s. 5; 2005, c. 23, s. 35.

21.32. A particular amount that is received by a taxpayer in a taxation year as an SLA compensation payment from a person described in the second paragraph or as a dealer compensation payment, is deemed, to the extent of the underlying payment to which the amount relates, to have been received by the taxpayer in the year as,

(a)  where the underlying payment is a taxable dividend paid on a share of the capital stock of a public corporation (other than an underlying payment to which subparagraph b applies), a taxable dividend on the share and, if the particular amount has the characteristics described in the third paragraph, an eligible dividend on the share;

(b)  where the underlying payment is paid by a trust on a qualified trust unit issued by the trust,

i.  to the extent that section 663 applied to the underlying payment, an amount of the trust’s income that was paid by the trust to the taxpayer as a beneficiary under the trust and that was designated by the trust in respect of the taxpayer to the extent of a valid designation, if any, by the trust in accordance with this Part in respect of the recipient of the underlying payment, and

ii.  to the extent that the underlying payment is a distribution of a property from the trust, a distribution of that property from the trust; or

(c)  in any other case, interest.

A person to whom the first paragraph refers is

(a)  a person resident in Canada; or

(b)  a person not resident in Canada who pays the particular amount in the course of carrying on business in Canada through an establishment.

The characteristics to which the first paragraph refers in respect of the particular amount are the following:

(a)  the amount is deemed, under the first paragraph, to be a taxable dividend; and

(b)  the amount is received by a person resident in Canada as

i.  compensation for an eligible dividend, or

ii.  compensation for a taxable dividend, other than an eligible dividend, paid by a corporation to a shareholder not resident in Canada in circumstances where it may reasonably be considered that the corporation would, if that shareholder had been resident in Canada, have designated the dividend as an eligible dividend under subsection 14 of section 89 of the Income Tax Act (R.S.C. 1985, c. 1 (5th Suppl.)) for the purposes of that Act.

However, the first paragraph does not apply in respect of an amount received

(a)  as proceeds of disposition of a property, or

(b)  by a person under an arrangement where it may reasonably be considered that one of the main reasons for the person entering into the arrangement was to enable the person to receive an SLA compensation payment pursuant to a securities lending arrangement, or a dealer compensation payment, that would be deductible in computing the person’s taxable income, or not included in computing the person’s income, for any taxation year.

1991, c. 25, s. 5; 1996, c. 39, s. 20; 1997, c. 3, s. 71; 2009, c. 5, s. 35; 2015, c. 24, s. 18; 2021, c. 18, s. 17.

21.33. A taxpayer who, in a taxation year, pays a particular amount as an SLA compensation payment or as a dealer compensation payment, may deduct, in computing income from a business or property for the year, an amount equal to

(a)  if the taxpayer is a registered securities dealer and the particular amount is deemed under section 21.32 to have been received as a taxable dividend, no more than 2/3 of the particular amount, unless the particular amount is an amount the taxpayer may deduct in computing income under section 21.33.1; or

(b)  if the particular amount is in respect of an amount other than an amount that is, or is deemed under section 21.32 to have been, received as a taxable dividend,

i.  where the taxpayer disposes of the borrowed security and includes the gain or loss, if any, from the disposition in computing income from a business, the particular amount, or

ii.  in any other case, the lesser of the particular amount and the amount, if any, in respect of the security distribution to which the SLA compensation payment or dealer compensation payment relates that is included in computing the income, and not deducted in computing the taxable income, for any taxation year of the taxpayer or of any person to whom the taxpayer is related.

1991, c. 25, s. 5; 1996, c. 39, s. 21; 2015, c. 24, s. 19; 2021, c. 18, s. 18.

21.33.1. There may be deducted in computing a corporation’s income from a business or property for a taxation year an amount equal to the lesser of

(a)  the aggregate of all amounts each of which is an amount that the corporation becomes obligated in the year to pay to another person under an arrangement described in paragraphs a and b of the definition of “dividend rental arrangement” in section 1 and that, if paid, would be deemed under section 21.32 to have been received by the other person as a taxable dividend; and

(b)  the amount of the dividends received by the corporation under the arrangement referred to in paragraph a that were identified in its fiscal return under this Part for the year as dividends in respect of which no amount was deductible because of section 740.4.1 in computing its taxable income.

1996, c. 39, s. 22; 1997, c. 3, s. 71; 2015, c. 24, s. 20; 2021, c. 18, s. 19.

21.33.2. For the purposes of this chapter,

(a)  a person includes a partnership; and

(b)  a partnership is deemed to be a registered securities dealer if each member of the partnership is a registered securities dealer.

The following rules apply to a corporation that is, in a taxation year, a member of a partnership:

(a)  for the purposes of section 21.32, the corporation is deemed to receive, in the year, the agreed proportion in its respect, for each fiscal period of the partnership that ends in the year, of each amount received by the partnership in that fiscal period, and is deemed to be the same person as the partnership in respect of the receipt of the agreed proportion of that amount; and

(b)  for the purposes of section 21.33.1, the corporation is deemed to become obligated, in the year, to pay the agreed proportion in its respect, for each fiscal period of the partnership that ends in the year, of the amount the partnership becomes, in that fiscal period, obligated to pay to another person under the arrangement referred to in paragraph a of that section.

The following rules apply to an individual who is, in a taxation year, a member of a partnership:

(a)  for the purposes of section 21.32, the individual is deemed to receive, in the year, the agreed proportion in respect of the individual, for each fiscal period of the partnership that ends in the year, of each amount received by the partnership in that fiscal period, and is deemed to be the same person as the partnership in respect of the receipt of the agreed proportion of that amount; and

(b)  for the purposes of section 497, the individual is deemed to have paid, in the year, the agreed proportion in respect of the individual, for each fiscal period of the partnership that ends in the year, of each amount paid by the partnership in that fiscal period that is deemed under section 21.32 to have been received by another person as a taxable dividend.

2015, c. 24, s. 21.

CHAPTER XVI QUALIFYING TRUST ANNUITY

2009, c. 15, s. 32.

21.43. A qualifying trust annuity with respect to a taxpayer means

(a)  an annuity in respect of which the following conditions are met:

i.  it is acquired after 31 December 2005,

ii.  the annuitant is a trust that is, at the time the annuity is acquired, a lifetime benefit trust with respect to the taxpayer and the succession of an individual,

iii.  it is for the life of the taxpayer (with or without a guaranteed period), or for a fixed term equal to 90 years minus the age in whole years of the taxpayer at the time it is acquired, and

iv.  if it is with a guaranteed period or for a fixed term, it requires that, in the event of the death of the taxpayer during the guaranteed period or fixed term, any amounts that would otherwise be payable after the death of the taxpayer be commuted into a single payment;

(b)  an annuity in respect of which the following conditions are met:

i.  it is acquired after 31 December 1988,

ii.  the annuitant is a trust under which the taxpayer is the sole person beneficially interested (determined without regard to any right of a person to receive an amount from the trust only on or after the death of the taxpayer) in amounts payable under the annuity,

iii.  it is for a fixed term not exceeding 18 years minus the age in whole years of the taxpayer at the time it is acquired, and

iv.  if it is acquired after 31 December 2005, it requires that, in the event of the death of the taxpayer during the fixed term, any amounts that would otherwise be payable after the death of the taxpayer be commuted into a single payment; and

(c)  an annuity in respect of which the following conditions are met:

i.  it is acquired after 31 December 2000 and before 1 January 2005 at a time at which the taxpayer was mentally or physically infirm, or in the year 2005 at a time at which the taxpayer was mentally infirm,

ii.  the annuitant is a trust under which the taxpayer is the sole person beneficially interested (determined without regard to any right of a person to receive an amount from the trust only on or after the death of the taxpayer) in amounts payable under the annuity, and

iii.  it is for the life of the taxpayer (with or without a guaranteed period), or for a fixed term equal to 90 years minus the age in whole years of the taxpayer at the time it is acquired.

For the purposes of the first paragraph, a trust is at a particular time a lifetime benefit trust with respect to a taxpayer and the succession of an individual if

(a)  immediately before the death of the individual, the taxpayer

i.  was both a spouse of the individual and mentally infirm, or

ii.  was both a child or grandchild of the individual and dependent on the individual for support because of mental infirmity; and

(b)  the trust is, at the particular time, a personal trust under which

i.  no person other than the taxpayer may receive or otherwise obtain the enjoyment of, during the taxpayer’s lifetime, all or part of the income or capital of the trust, and

ii.  the trustees are empowered to pay amounts from the trust to the taxpayer, and are required—in determining whether to pay, or not to pay, an amount to the taxpayer—to consider the needs of the taxpayer, including the comfort, care and maintenance of the taxpayer.

2009, c. 15, s. 32.

BOOK II LIABILITY FOR TAX

1972, c. 23.

22. Every person who is an individual resident in Québec on the last day of a taxation year or a corporation having an establishment in Québec at any time in a taxation year shall pay a tax on the taxable income of the individual or the corporation, as the case may be, for that taxation year.

The tax payable under section 750 by an individual referred to in the first paragraph who carries on a business in Canada but outside Québec is equal to the proportion of the tax that would be determined under this section but for this paragraph that the individual’s income earned in Québec is of the individual’s income earned in Québec and elsewhere, as determined by the regulations.

1972, c. 23, s. 17; 1972, c. 26, s. 34; 1973, c. 17, s. 4; 1984, c. 15, s. 14; 1988, c. 4, s. 18; 1989, c. 5, s. 29; 1993, c. 64, s. 7; 1995, c. 63, s. 16; 1997, c. 3, s. 71; 1998, c. 16, s. 24; 2001, c. 53, s. 10.

23. When an individual ceases to be resident in Canada in a taxation year, the last day of the individual’s taxation year is, for the purposes of section 22, the last day on which the individual was resident in Canada.

The taxable income, for the taxation year, of an individual referred to in the first paragraph who was resident in Québec on that day is the amount by which the amount determined under the third paragraph exceeds the aggregate of

(a)  the deductions permitted by sections 727, 728.1, 729 and 733.0.0.1 and, to the extent that they relate to amounts included in computing an amount referred to in the third paragraph, the deductions permitted by sections 725, 725.1.2 and 725.2 to 725.4; and

(b)  any other deduction permitted by Book IV, to the extent that

i.  the deduction can reasonably be considered to be attributable to the part of the year throughout which the individual was resident in Canada, or

ii.  if all or substantially all of the individual’s income for the part of the year throughout which the individual was not resident in Canada is included in the amount referred to in the third paragraph, the deduction can reasonably be considered to be attributable to that part of the year.

The amount to which the second paragraph refers is the amount that would be the individual’s income for the year if, for the part of the year throughout which the individual was not resident in Canada, only the following elements were taken into account:

(a)  the elements described in section 1090; and

(b)  the income that would be included in computing the individual’s income earned in Canada for the year under subparagraph g of the first paragraph of section 1090 if the part of the year throughout which the individual was not resident in Canada were a whole taxation year.

1972, c. 23, s. 18; 1972, c. 26, s. 35; 1982, c. 5, s. 15; 1989, c. 5, s. 30; 1993, c. 16, s. 19; 1995, c. 49, s. 17; 1996, c. 39, s. 24; 1998, c. 16, s. 25; 2004, c. 8, s. 13.

24. The taxable income of an individual referred to in section 22 for a taxation year is the individual’s income for the year plus the additions provided for in Book IV and minus the deductions permitted by that Book, except where the individual was resident in Canada for only part of that taxation year. In the latter case, the individual’s taxable income shall be computed in the manner described in section 23, whether the individual is an individual who became resident in Canada in the year or an individual who ceased to be resident in Canada in the year.

1972, c. 23, s. 19; 1972, c. 26, s. 36; 1985, c. 25, s. 20; 1989, c. 5, s. 31; 1995, c. 49, s. 18; 1998, c. 16, s. 26.

25. Every individual resident in Canada but outside Québec on the last day of a taxation year shall, if the individual carried on a business in Québec at any time in the year, pay a tax on the individual’s income earned in Québec for the year as determined under Part II.

The tax payable under section 750 by an individual referred to in the first paragraph is equal to the portion of the tax that the individual would pay, but for this paragraph, under that section on the individual’s taxable income determined under section 24 if the individual were resident in Québec, that is the proportion, which is not to exceed 1, that that income earned in Québec is of the amount by which the aggregate of the amount that would have been the individual’s income, computed without reference to section 1029.8.50, had the individual been resident in Québec on the last day of the taxation year and the amount that the individual included in computing that taxable income under any of sections 726.43 to 726.43.2, exceeds any amount deducted by the individual under any of sections 726.20.2, 726.28, 737.16, 737.18.10, 737.21, 737.22.0.0.3, 737.22.0.0.7, 737.22.0.3, 737.22.0.4.7, 737.22.0.7, 737.25 and 737.28 in computing that taxable income.

For the purposes of this section, where an individual ceases to be resident in Canada in a taxation year, the last day of the individual’s taxation year is the last day on which the individual was resident in Canada.

1972, c. 23, s. 20; 1972, c. 26, s. 37; 1973, c. 17, s. 5; 1984, c. 15, s. 15; 1987, c. 21, s. 9; 1988, c. 4, s. 19; 1989, c. 5, s. 32; 1993, c. 64, s. 8; 1995, c. 1, s. 14; 1995, c. 63, s. 17; 1997, c. 14, s. 17; 1997, c. 85, s. 34; 1998, c. 16, s. 27; 1999, c. 83, s. 27; 2000, c. 39, s. 264; 2002, c. 40, s. 19; 2003, c. 9, s. 15; 2004, c. 21, s. 42; 2006, c. 36, s. 23; 2010, c. 25, s. 8; 2013, c. 10, s. 16; 2017, c. 29, s. 28; 2021, c. 14, s. 24; 2022, c. 23, s. 31.

26. Every individual who was not resident in Canada at any time in a taxation year and who, in the taxation year or a previous taxation year, was employed in Québec, carried on a business in Québec or disposed of a taxable Québec property, shall pay a tax on the individual’s income earned in Québec for the year as determined under Part II.

The tax payable under sections 750 and 752.12 to 752.16 by an individual referred to in the first paragraph is equal to the proportion, which cannot exceed 1, of the tax that would, but for this paragraph, be payable under those sections on the individual’s taxable income earned in Canada as determined under Part II if the individual were resident in Québec, that the individual’s income earned in Québec is of the individual’s income earned in Canada as determined in accordance with section 1090.

1972, c. 23, s. 21; 1972, c. 26, s. 38; 1988, c. 4, s. 20; 1989, c. 5, s. 33; 1993, c. 64, s. 9; 1998, c. 16, s. 28; 2001, c. 53, s. 11.

26.1. The taxable income of a corporation referred to in section 22 for a taxation year is its income for the year plus the additions provided for in Book IV and minus the deductions permitted by the said Book.

1989, c. 77, s. 8; 1997, c. 3, s. 71.

27. Any corporation not contemplated in section 22 and not resident in Canada that disposes in a taxation year of taxable Québec property shall pay a tax at the rate established in subsection 1 of section 771 on the amounts described in subparagraphs d, e, f, h and l of the first paragraph of section 1089 that are applicable thereto and on the amount by which the aggregate of its taxable capital gains exceeds the aggregate of its allowable capital losses from the disposition of such property.

Where a corporation contemplated in section 22 has an establishment outside Québec, its tax payable is equal to the proportion of the tax established under subsection 1 of section 771 that the business it carries on in Québec is of the entire business it carries on in Canada or in Québec and elsewhere, as determined under subsection 2 of section 771.

1972, c. 23, s. 22; 1973, c. 17, s. 6; 1975, c. 22, s. 3; 1987, c. 21, s. 10; 1991, c. 8, s. 1; 1992, c. 1, s. 13; 1993, c. 16, s. 20; 1995, c. 1, s. 199; 1997, c. 3, s. 71.

BOOK III COMPUTATION OF INCOME

1972, c. 23.

TITLE I BASIC RULES

1972, c. 23.

28. A taxpayer shall, to determine the income of the taxpayer for a taxation year for the purposes of this Part,

(a)  add the aggregate of the taxpayer’s income for the year, other than the taxable capital gains from dispositions of property, from each source inside and outside Canada;

(b)  add to the aggregate so determined the amount by which

i.  the taxpayer’s taxable capital gains for the year from dispositions of property other than precious property and the taxpayer’s taxable net gain for the year from dispositions of precious property, exceed

ii.  the amount by which the taxpayer’s allowable capital losses for the year from dispositions of property other than precious property exceed the taxpayer’s allowable business investment losses for the year; and

(c)  subtract from the total so determined

i.  the deductions permitted by Title VI in computing the taxpayer’s income for the year, except those taken into account in computing the aggregate of the income referred to in paragraph a and, if there is any remainder,

ii.  the losses incurred in the year by the taxpayer from an office, employment, business or property and the taxpayer’s allowable business investment losses for the year;

iii.  (subparagraph replaced).

1972, c. 23, s. 23; 1979, c. 18, s. 4; 1982, c. 56, s. 10; 1987, c. 67, s. 8; 1998, c. 16, s. 29.

28.1. Where the amount determined under section 28 for a taxation year in respect of a taxpayer does not exceed zero, the taxpayer is deemed, for the purposes of this Part, to have income for the year in an amount equal to zero.

1993, c. 16, s. 21; 1993, c. 64, s. 10.

29. Where income or loss is from an office, employment, business, property or other source in Canada or in another place, or where income or loss is from an office, employment or business performed or carried on partly in Canada and partly in another place, the taxpayer shall compute separately the income or loss from each source according to the place and shall only apply to it such part of the deductions provided by this Part as may reasonably be applied to such source according to the place.

Notwithstanding the first paragraph, the deductions permitted by sections 334 to 358.0.4 shall, subject to the third paragraph, be applied to the whole income of the taxpayer.

For the purposes of Part II and sections 671, 671.1 and 772.2 to 772.13, in respect of income or loss from a source in Canada or in another place or from an office, employment or business, performed or carried on partly in Canada and partly in another place,

(a)  subject to subparagraph b, the deductions permitted in computing the income of the taxpayer under this Part, except those permitted by paragraphs c to e and j of section 336, sections 336.0.3 and 336.0.4, paragraphs b to g and i of section 339 and sections 340 and 341, shall be applied separately to the income from each of those places;

(b)  the deductions permitted by paragraphs a and b of section 657 shall not be applied to income from a source in a country other than Canada.

1972, c. 23, s. 24; 1990, c. 59, s. 33; 1994, c. 22, s. 60; 1995, c. 1, s. 15; 1995, c. 63, s. 18; 1997, c. 85, s. 35; 1998, c. 16, s. 30; 2005, c. 38, s. 51; 2011, c. 1, s. 22.

30. (Repealed).

1972, c. 23, s. 25; 1973, c. 17, s. 7; 1993, c. 16, s. 22; 1997, c. 31, s. 6.

31. For the purpose of computing a taxpayer’s income for a taxation year, and unless otherwise prescribed,

(a)  any deduction allowed to the taxpayer under a provision of the Income Tax Act (Revised Statutes of Canada, 1985, chapter 1, 5th Supplement) in computing the taxpayer’s income for a preceding taxation year in respect of which the taxpayer or, in the case of a partnership, each of the members, was not subject to tax under this Part, is deemed to have also been allowed to the taxpayer under the corresponding provision of this Part in computing the taxpayer’s income for that preceding year;

(b)  where, for the purposes of Part I of the Income Tax Act, the cost, the capital cost or the cost amount of property, to the taxpayer, determined as a consequence of the application of a particular provision of that Act in respect of a transaction or event that occurred during a preceding taxation year described in paragraph a, is different from that which it would have been at that time but for that provision, the corresponding provision of this Part is deemed, for the purpose of determining the cost, the capital cost or the cost amount, as the case may be, of the property to the taxpayer for the purposes of this Part, to have applied in respect of the property at the same time and for the same amounts as for the application of the particular provision in respect of the property.

1977, c. 26, s. 2; 1997, c. 85, s. 36.

31.1. The amounts referred to in the fourth paragraph that are to be used for a taxation year subsequent to the taxation year 2007 are to be adjusted annually in such a manner that each amount used for that taxation year is equal to the total of the amount used for the preceding taxation year and the product obtained by multiplying that latter amount by the factor determined by the formula

(A/B) - 1.

In the formula in the first paragraph,

(a)  A is the average all-items Consumer Price Index for Québec excluding alcoholic beverages, tobacco products and recreational cannabis for the 12-month period that ended on 30 September of the taxation year preceding that for which an amount is to be adjusted; and

(b)  B is the average all-items Consumer Price Index for Québec excluding alcoholic beverages, tobacco products and recreational cannabis for the 12-month period that ended on 30 September of the taxation year immediately before the year preceding that for which the amount is to be adjusted.

If the factor determined by the formula in the first paragraph has more than four decimal places, only the first four decimal digits are retained and the fourth is increased by one unit if the fifth is greater than 4.

The amounts to which the first paragraph refers are

(a)  the amount of $300 mentioned in paragraph e.1 of section 39;

(b)  the amount of $1,120 mentioned in the first paragraph of section 39.6;

(c)  the amount of $1,000 mentioned in subparagraph b of the second paragraph of section 75.2.1; and

(d)  the amount of $1,000 mentioned in the first paragraph of section 358.0.3.

If the amount that results from the adjustment provided for in the first paragraph is not a multiple of $5, it is to be rounded to the nearest multiple of $5 or, if it is equidistant from two such multiples, to the higher of the two.

2009, c. 15, s. 33; 2012, c. 8, s. 41; 2015, c. 24, s. 22; 2020, c. 5, s. 214.

TITLE II INCOME OR LOSS FROM AN OFFICE OR EMPLOYMENT

1972, c. 23.

CHAPTER I BASIC RULES

1972, c. 23.

32. Subject to this Part, an individual’s income for a taxation year from an office or employment is the salary, wages and other remuneration, including gratuities, received by the individual in the year.

1972, c. 23, s. 26; 1998, c. 16, s. 31.

33. An individual’s loss for a taxation year from an office or employment is the amount of such loss computed, with the necessary modifications, by applying the provisions of this Part respecting computation of income from that source.

1972, c. 23, s. 27; 1995, c. 63, s. 19.

34. Every amount an individual receives from another person while in the employment of the latter is presumed received as remuneration for services rendered. The same applies to every amount received in payment of an obligation arising out of an agreement between two persons immediately prior to, during or immediately after a period that one person is in the employment of the other.

1972, c. 23, s. 28.

35. The presumption provided in section 34 may be rebutted if it is established that, irrespective of when the agreement, if any, was made and the terms thereof, the payment was not made for services rendered or to be rendered, to prompt an individual to accept an office or employment or in consideration for a covenant with reference to what the employee is, or is not, to do before the employee becomes or after the employee ceases to be an employee.

1972, c. 23, s. 29; 1998, c. 16, s. 32.

35.1. If an amount, other than an amount to which section 37 applies because of section 47.11, is receivable at the end of a taxation year by an individual in respect of a covenant, agreed to by the individual more than 36 months before the end of the year, with reference to what the individual is, or is not, to do, and the amount would be included in computing the individual’s income for the year under this Title if it were received by the individual in the year, the amount

(a)  is deemed to be received by the individual at the end of the year for services rendered as an employee or during the period of employment; and

(b)  is deemed not to be received at any other time.

2009, c. 5, s. 41.

CHAPTER II INCLUSIONS

1972, c. 23.

DIVISION I GENERALITIES

1972, c. 23.

36. An individual shall, in computing the income of the individual for the year from an office or employment, include all amounts the individual receives or benefits from in that year or which are allocated to the individual for that year, and that are provided for in this chapter.

Such amounts include the fees received by the individual because of, or in the course of, an office or employment, including director’s fees.

1972, c. 23, s. 30; 1983, c. 43, s. 3; 1998, c. 16, s. 33.

36.1. (Repealed).

1995, c. 1, s. 16; 1995, c. 63, s. 20; 1997, c. 85, s. 37.

DIVISION II FRINGE BENEFITS

1972, c. 23.

37. The amounts required to be included in computing an individual’s income are the value of board, lodging and other benefits of any kind whatever received or enjoyed by the individual, or by a person who does not deal at arm’s length with the individual, because of, or in the course of, the individual’s office or employment and the allowances received by the individual, including any amount received, without having to account for its use, for personal or living expenses or for any other purpose.

1972, c. 23, s. 31; 1992, c. 1, s. 14; 1998, c. 16, s. 34; 2015, c. 21, s. 99.

37.0.1. For the purposes of section 37, a benefit is deemed to have been enjoyed by an individual at any time an obligation issued by any debtor, including the individual, is settled or extinguished and the value of that benefit is deemed to be the forgiven amount at that time in respect of the obligation.

In the first paragraph, the “forgiven amount” at any time in respect of an obligation issued by a debtor has the meaning that would be assigned by section 485 if

(a)  the obligation were a commercial obligation, within the meaning assigned by section 485, issued by the debtor;

(b)  no amount included in computing income because of the obligation being settled or extinguished at that time were taken into account;

(c)  the definition of “forgiven amount” in section 485 were read without reference to paragraphs f and h; and

(d)  section 485.3 were read without reference to subparagraphs b and r of the first paragraph of that section.

1989, c. 77, s. 9; 1996, c. 39, s. 25.

37.0.1.1. For the purposes of section 37, the value of the benefit received or enjoyed by an individual for a taxation year where, because of a previous, the current or an intended office or employment of the individual, the individual is provided coverage during the year under a plan for the insurance of persons, is equal to

(a)  in the case of a plan for the insurance of persons which provides coverage through insurance with an insurer, the amount established for the year under sections 37.0.1.2 and 37.0.1.3 in respect of the individual in relation to the plan;

(b)  in the case of a plan for the insurance of persons which provides coverage otherwise than through insurance with an insurer, the amount established for the year under sections 37.0.1.4 to 37.0.1.6 in respect of the individual in relation to the plan.

For the purposes of this section and sections 37.0.1.2 to 37.0.1.6, the following rules apply:

(a)  any premium paid in respect of an individual, because of the individual’s office or employment with an employer, under a plan for the insurance of persons, by a person to whom the employer is related, is deemed to be a premium paid by the employer and not by the person to whom the employer is related;

(b)  any amount paid as a dividend, return or refund of premiums, under a plan for the insurance of persons, to a person to whom the employer is related, in relation to the coverage and benefits enjoyed by the employees of the employer under the plan, is deemed to be a dividend, a return or a refund of premiums paid, to the employer and not to the person to whom the employer is related;

(c)  where, in a taxation year, an employer pays, under a plan for the insurance of persons, an additional premium in respect of the coverage or benefits under the plan enjoyed by the employees for a period prior to that year, the additional premium is deemed to be a premium paid at that time in respect of the coverage or benefits enjoyed by the employees for that year and not in respect of the coverage or benefits enjoyed by the employees for the preceding year;

ii.  the portion of the premium paid by the employer, which can reasonably be attributed to particular coverage and benefits under the particular plan, in relation to the excess of loss insurance for any period of a year, is deemed to be a benefit contemplated for the year in subparagraph a of the second paragraph of section 37.0.1.4 in relation to such coverage and benefits under the particular plan, except if the excess of loss insurance covers all the coverage and benefits provided under the particular plan, in which case the premium is deemed to constitute expenses contemplated for the year in subparagraph d of the second paragraph of the said section 37.0.1.4 in respect of the particular plan;

39.6. An individual who is employed in a taxation year by a government, municipality or public authority, in this section referred to as the “employer”, is not required to include in computing the individual’s income for the year derived from the performance of the duties provided for in paragraph a, an amount received by the individual or the value of a benefit received or enjoyed by the individual in the year, because of the individual’s employment with that employer for the performance of those duties, up to an amount of $1,120, where

(a)  the individual receives or enjoys the amount for the performance of the individual’s duties as a volunteer ambulance technician, a volunteer firefighter or a volunteer assisting in the search and rescue of individuals or in other emergency operations; and

(b)  the employer certifies in writing where so requested by the Minister that the individual was in the year an employee of the employer and performed the duties provided for in paragraph a and that the individual was at no time in the year an employee of the employer otherwise than as a volunteer, in connection with the performance of any of those duties or of similar duties.

The first paragraph does not apply if the individual deducts an amount under section 752.0.10.0.5 or 752.0.10.0.7 from the individual’s tax otherwise payable for the year under this Part.

(b)  reasonable allowances for travel expenses, other than allowances for the use of a motor vehicle, received from the employer by the individual as an employee, other than an employee referred to in paragraph a, for travelling away from the local municipal territory or the metropolitan area, as the case may be, where the employer’s establishment at which the employee ordinarily works or with which the employee is ordinarily connected is located, in the performance of the duties of the employment; or

(c)  reasonable allowances for the use of a motor vehicle received by the individual as an employee, other than an employee referred to in paragraph a, from the employer for travelling in the performance of the duties of the employment.

(a)  where the measurement of the use of the vehicle for the purpose of determining the allowance is not based solely on the actual number of kilometres for which the motor vehicle is used in connection with or in the course of the office or employment; or

(b)  where the individual both receives an allowance in respect of that use and is reimbursed in whole or in part for expenses in respect of that use, except where the reimbursement is in respect of supplementary business insurance or toll or ferry charges and the amount of the allowance was determined without reference to those reimbursed expenses.

41. Where an employer or a person related to the employer makes an automobile available to an employee of the employer, or to a person related to the employee, in the year, the employee shall, in computing the income of the employee, include the amount by which a reasonable amount corresponding to the value of such right of use for the total number of days in the year during which the automobile was made so available exceeds the aggregate of all amounts each of which is an amount, other than an expense related to the operation of the automobile, paid in the year to the employer or a person related to the employer by the employee or the person related to the employee for the use of the automobile.

1972, c. 23, s. 35; 1973, c. 17, s. 8; 1978, c. 26, s. 6; 1980, c. 13, s. 4; 1983, c. 44, s. 16; 1990, c. 59, s. 37; 1998, c. 16, s. 45.

41.0.1. For the purposes of section 41, a reasonable amount corresponding to the value of the right of use of an automobile for the total number of days, in this section referred to as the “total available days”, in a year during which the automobile is made available to an individual or to a person related to the individual by an employer or a person related to the employer, both of whom are in this section referred to as “the employer”, is deemed to be equal to the amount determined by the formula

A / B [2% (C × D) + 2/3 (E − F)].

In the formula provided for in the first paragraph,

(a)  A is

i.  the lesser of the total number of kilometres that the automobile is driven, otherwise than in connection with or in the course of the individual’s office or employment, during the total available days, and the product determined for the year under subparagraph b, if

(1)  the individual is required by the employer to use the automobile in connection with or in the course of the office or employment, and

(2)  the distance travelled by the automobile during the total available days is primarily in connection with or in the course of the office or employment, and

ii.  in any other case, the product determined for the year under subparagraph b;

(b)  B is the product obtained by multiplying 1,667 by the quotient obtained by dividing the total available days by 30 and, if the quotient so obtained is not a whole number and exceeds one, by rounding it to the nearest whole number or, where that quotient is equidistant from two consecutive whole numbers, by rounding it to the lower of those two numbers;

(c)  C is the cost of the automobile to the employer where the employer owns the vehicle at any time in the year;

(d)  D is the quotient obtained by dividing such of the total available days as are days when the employer owns the automobile by 30 and, if the quotient so obtained is not a whole number and exceeds one, by rounding it to the nearest whole number or, where that quotient is equidistant from two consecutive whole numbers, by rounding it to the lower thereof;

(e)  E is the aggregate of all amounts that may reasonably be regarded as having been payable by the employer to a lessor for the purpose of leasing the automobile during such of the total available days as are days when the automobile is leased to the employer;

(f)  F is the part of the amount determined under subparagraph e that may reasonably be regarded as having been payable to the lessor in respect of all or part of the cost to the lessor of insuring against loss of, or damage to, the automobile or liability resulting from the use or operation of the automobile.

The condition in subparagraph 2 of subparagraph i of subparagraph a of the second paragraph is deemed to be met for an individual’s 2020 or 2021 taxation year, in respect of an employer, if the conditions in subparagraphs 1 and 2 of that subparagraph i are met for the individual’s 2019 taxation year in respect of an automobile made available to the individual, or to a person related to the individual, by that employer.

1990, c. 59, s. 38; 1998, c. 16, s. 46; 2005, c. 1, s. 28; 2021, c. 36, s. 51.

41.0.2. Where, in a year, an individual is employed principally in selling or leasing automobiles, an automobile owned by the individual’s employer is made available by the employer to the individual or to a person related to the individual, and the employer has acquired one or more automobiles, the reasonable amount corresponding to the value of the right of use determined under section 41.0.1 shall, at the option of the employer, be computed as if

(a)  the reference in the formula therein to 2% were read as a reference to 1.5%, and

(b)  the cost of the automobile to the employer were the greater of

i.  the quotient obtained by dividing the cost to the employer of all new automobiles acquired by the employer in the year for sale or lease in the course of the employer’s business by the number of new automobiles so acquired, and

ii.  the quotient obtained by dividing the cost to the employer of all automobiles acquired by the employer in the year for sale or lease in the course of the employer’s business by the number of automobiles so acquired.

41.1.1. Where, in computing the income of the individual for a taxation year as income from an office or employment, a reasonable amount corresponding to the value of the right of use of an automobile is determined under sections 41 to 41.0.2, and an amount in respect of the operation, otherwise than in connection with or in the course of the individual’s office or employment, of the automobile for the period or periods in the year during which the automobile was made available to the individual or a person related to the individual is paid or payable by the individual’s employer or a person related to the individual’s employer, each of whom is in this section referred to as the “payor”, the individual shall, in computing the individual’s income for the year from an office or employment, include the amount determined by the formula

A − B.

For the purposes of the formula in the first paragraph,

(a)  A is

i.  where the automobile is used primarily in the performance of the duties of the individual during the period or periods referred to in the first paragraph and the individual notifies the employer in writing before the end of the year of the individual’s intention to have this subparagraph apply, one-half of the reasonable amount corresponding to the value of the right of use determined in respect of the automobile under sections 41 to 41.0.2 in computing the individual’s income for the year, and

ii.  in any other case, the amount equal to the product obtained when the amount prescribed for the year is multiplied by the total number of kilometres that the automobile is driven, otherwise than in connection with or in the course of the individual’s office or employment, during the period or periods referred to in the first paragraph; and

(b)  B is the aggregate of all amounts in respect of the operation of the automobile in the year paid in the year or within 45 days after the end of the year to the payor by the individual or by the person related to the individual.

This section does not apply where the aggregate of all amounts each of which is an amount referred to in the first paragraph, paid or payable by the payor, is paid, in the year or within 45 days after the end of the year, to the payor by the individual or by the person related to the individual.

For the purposes of this section in respect of an automobile provided by the payor in 2020 or 2021 (in this paragraph referred to as the “relevant year”), where an individual has met the condition in subparagraph i of subparagraph a of the second paragraph for the 2019 taxation year in respect of the use of an automobile made available to the individual, or to a person related to the individual, by the payor, the amount represented by A in the formula in the first paragraph in respect of the automobile for the relevant year is deemed to be equal to the lesser of

(a)  one-half of the reasonable amount that corresponds to the value of the right of use determined in respect of the automobile under sections 41 to 41.0.2 for the relevant year; and

(b)  the amount determined in respect of the automobile under subparagraph ii of subparagraph a of the second paragraph for the relevant year.

An individual who is a member of a police force or of a fire safety service is not required to include, in computing the individual’s income for a taxation year from an office or employment, the value of a benefit in respect of the use of a vehicle that is, in the year, made available to the individual by the employer or a person related to the employer, if

(a)  a written directive of the employer limits the use, by the individual, of the vehicle for personal purposes and specifies that the vehicle is to be returned to the employer during an extended absence; and

(b)  the vehicle is clearly identified with the employer’s name or, failing that, the vehicle has special equipment allowing for a prompt intervention in the case of events concerning public safety.

2004, c. 21, s. 44.

41.1.4. If an employer or a person to whom the employer is related makes an automobile, other than a vehicle in respect of which section 41.1.3 applies, available in a taxation year to an employee or to a person related to the employee, the employee shall keep, in respect of trips made with the automobile for the total number of days in the year during which the automobile is so made available to the employee or to a person to whom the employee is related, a logbook in which the employee enters the information provided for in section 41.1.5, and shall give a copy of the logbook to the employer on or before the tenth day following the last day of the year during which the employer or a person related to the employer made such an automobile available to the employee or to a person to whom the employee is related.

2005, c. 23, s. 37.

41.1.5. The information to which section 41.1.4 refers is

However, if the kilometres travelled by the automobile during the total number of days referred to in subparagraph a are kilometres exclusively travelled by the automobile otherwise than in connection with or in the course of the office or employment of the individual, the information to which section 41.1.4 refers is

(a)  the total number of days in the year during which the employer or a person to whom the employer is related made the automobile available to the individual or to a person related to the individual; and

(b)  the kilometres registered on the odometer of the automobile at the beginning and end of each period, within the year, during which the automobile was made available, on a continuous basis, to the individual or a person to whom the individual is related by the employer or a person related to the employer.

For the purposes of the first paragraph, the attribution of an amount determined under that paragraph in respect of a pay period shall be made at the time the employer pays to the individual referred to therein the individual’s salary or wages for that pay period or, where, having regard to the information available at that time and the time required to determine the amount of that attribution, it may reasonably be considered that the employer cannot at that time change the amount of the salary or wages to take into account that attribution owing to the fact that the payment of the salary or wages for that pay period is made at a time that follows too closely the end of that pay period, at the time the employer pays to the individual the salary or wages for the pay period immediately following that pay period.

1997, c. 85, s. 44.

42.12. Section 42.11 does not apply to an individual in relation to employment duties performed by the individual for a regulated establishment where all or substantially all of the tips the individual receives or benefits from in the performance of employment duties are derived from service charges paid by the customers of the regulated establishment and where

(f)  an individual who receives or benefits from tips in the performance of employment duties for a regulated establishment, other than an individual to whom the first paragraph of section 42.12 applies, shall, except where the individual performs the employment duties referred to in the second paragraph of that section 42.12, report in writing to the employer, in respect of a pay period, every tip in respect of a tippable sale attributable to the individual and to that pay period.

The Minister may determine, in respect of a regulated establishment or a class of sales in a regulated establishment, a percentage that is lesser than the percentage mentioned in section 42.11 if the employer who is to attribute an amount under that section applies therefor or, where that employer refuses to do so, if the majority of individuals performing their employment duties for the regulated establishment or for a class of sales in the regulated establishment apply therefor, and it is established to the satisfaction of the Minister that the percentage of 8% is too high having regard to the circumstances.

The Minister may determine, for a period in a calendar year, the percentage considered to be appropriate by the Minister having regard to the circumstances.

43. (1)  An individual shall, in computing the individual’s income, include the amounts payable on a periodic basis that the individual receives in respect of the loss of all or part of the individual’s income from an office or employment, pursuant to an insurance plan under which the individual’s employer has made a contribution or which is administered or provided by an employee life and health trust to which the individual’s employer has made a contribution, not exceeding the limit set under subsection 2.

(2)  Such limit shall be established by computing the amount by which

(a)  the aggregate of all such amounts received by the individual pursuant to the plan before the end of the year and after the later of the end of the year 1971 and the end of the last year in which any such amount was included in the individual’s income; exceeds

(b)  the aggregate of the contributions made by the individual under the plan before the end of the year and after the later of the end of the year 1967 and the end of the last year in which any amount referred to in paragraph a was included in the individual’s income.

1972, c. 23, s. 37; 1991, c. 25, s. 176; 1993, c. 64, s. 15; 1998, c. 16, s. 52; 2011, c. 6, s. 114.

43.0.1. For the purposes of section 43, where an employer or former employer of an individual makes a top-up disability payment in respect of the individual, the following rules apply:

(a)  the payment is deemed not to be a contribution made by the employer or former employer to or under the insurance plan of which the disability policy in respect of which the payment is made is or was a part; and

(b)  if the payment is made to the individual, it is deemed to be an amount received by the individual pursuant to the insurance plan referred to in paragraph a.

2000, c. 5, s. 23.

43.0.2. In section 43.0.1 and in this section,

“disability policy” means a group disability insurance policy that provides for periodic payments to individuals in respect of the loss of remuneration from an office or employment;

“top-up disability payment” in respect of an individual means a payment made by an employer or former employer of the individual as a consequence of the insolvency of an insurer that was obligated to make payments to the individual under a disability policy where

(a)  the payment is made to an insurer so that periodic payments made to the individual under the disability policy will not be reduced because of the insolvency, or will be reduced by a lesser amount; or

(b)  the payment is made to the individual to replace, in whole or in part, periodic payments that would have been made under the disability policy to the individual but for the insolvency and the payment is made under an arrangement by which the individual is required to reimburse the payment to the extent that the individual subsequently receives an amount from an insurer in respect of the portion of the periodic payments that the payment was intended to replace.

For the purposes of paragraphs a and b of the definition of “top-up disability payment” in the first paragraph, an insurance policy that replaces a disability policy is deemed to be the same policy as, and a continuation of, the disability policy that was replaced.

2000, c. 5, s. 23.

1993, c. 64, s. 16; 1995, c. 63, s. 261; 1998, c. 16, s. 53.

43.3. Where the amount established in accordance with the second paragraph for a taxation year in respect of an individual in relation to a multi-employer insurance plan exceeds the amount referred to in section 43.2 for the year in respect of the individual in relation to that plan, the individual shall include the excess in computing the income of the individual for the year.

The amount which must be established for a taxation year in respect of an individual in relation to a multi-employer insurance plan is equal to the amount that would be established for the year under sections 37.0.1.1 to 37.0.1.6 in respect of the individual in relation to the coverage, other than coverage against the loss of all or part of the income from an office or employment, enjoyed by the individual under the plan for any period of the year, if the administrator of the plan was the employer of all the employees who enjoy coverage under the plan during the year and if those employees were employees of the administrator and enjoyed that coverage by reason of an office or employment with the latter.

For the purposes of the second paragraph, no amount paid by an individual during the year as contribution to the plan shall be taken into account in computing the amount determined under section 37.0.1.2 or 37.0.1.4 in respect of the individual otherwise than because of a previous, the current or an intended office or employment of the individual.

In addition, for the purposes of this Title, except the third paragraph and this paragraph, where it may reasonably be considered that, at any time in a taxation year, an individual enjoys, otherwise than because of a previous, the current or an intended office or employment of the individual, all or part of a coverage under a multi-employer insurance plan, other than coverage against the loss of all or part of the income from an office, employment or business,

(a)  the individual is deemed to be an employee who, during the year, enjoys that coverage, or part thereof, by reason of an office or employment; and

(b)  the value of the benefit derived from that coverage or part thereof is deemed to be referred to in section 38.

DIVISION V.1 EMPLOYEE BENEFIT PLANS AND EMPLOYEE TRUSTS

1982, c. 5, s. 19.

47.1. An individual shall, in computing the income of the individual for a taxation year, include all amounts allocated to the individual for that year by a trustee under an employee trust and all amounts received by the individual in the year out of or under an employee benefit plan or from the disposition of any interest in any such plan.

1982, c. 5, s. 19; 1998, c. 16, s. 56.

47.1.1. For the purposes of section 47.1, an amount received by a person out of or under an employee benefit plan is deemed to have been received by another person (in this section referred to as the “individual”) and not by the person if

(a)  the person does not deal at arm’s length with the individual;

(b)  the amount is received in respect of an office or employment of the individual; and

(c)  the individual is living at the time the amount is received by the person.

2015, c. 21, s. 106.

Despite section 47.1, an individual is not required in computing the individual’s income to include an amount received in respect of an employee benefit plan, to the extent that such amount represents a return of amounts contributed to the plan by the individual or a deceased employee of whom the individual is a legatee by particular title or legal representative, a death benefit or an amount that would, but for the deduction provided for in sections 3 and 4, be a death benefit, a pension benefit attributable to services rendered by a person in a period throughout which the person was not resident in Canada, or a designated employee benefit (as defined in section 869.1).

1982, c. 5, s. 19; 1991, c. 25, s. 10; 1998, c. 16, s. 57; 2000, c. 5, s. 293; 2011, c. 6, s. 115.

47.3. For the purposes of section 47.2, an amount included in computing the income of an individual in respect of an employee benefit plan for a taxation year preceding the year in which it is paid, is deemed to be an amount contributed to the plan by the individual.

1982, c. 5, s. 19.

47.4. For the purposes of section 47.2, where an amount is received in a taxation year by an individual from an employee benefit plan that was in a preceding year an employee trust, that amount is deemed to be the return of the amounts contributed to the plan by the individual, up to the amount by which the lesser of the amounts determined under paragraph a or b of section 47.5 exceeds the aggregate of all amounts previously received out of the plan by the individual or a deceased person of whom the individual is a legatee by particular title or legal representative at a time when the plan was an employee benefit plan, to the extent that the latter amounts were deemed by this section to be a return of amounts contributed to the plan.

1982, c. 5, s. 19; 1998, c. 16, s. 58; 2000, c. 5, s. 293.

47.5. The amounts referred to in section 47.4 are the following:

(a)  the amount by which the aggregate of all amounts allocated to the individual or a deceased person of whom the individual is a legatee by particular title or legal representative, by a trustee of the plan at a time when the plan was an employee trust, exceeds the aggregate of all amounts previously paid out of the plan to or for the benefit of the individual or the deceased person at that time; and

(b)  the portion of the amount by which the cost amount to the plan of its property immediately before it ceased to be an employee trust exceeds the liabilities of the plan at that time that the amount determined under paragraph a in respect of the individual is of the aggregate of amounts determined under that paragraph in respect of all individuals who were beneficiaries under the plan immediately before it ceased to be an employee trust.

1982, c. 5, s. 19; 1998, c. 16, s. 59; 2000, c. 5, s. 293.

47.6. For the purposes of this division, “employee benefit plan” means an arrangement under which contributions are made by an employer or by a person with whom the employer does not deal at arm’s length to another person (in this Part referred to as the “custodian” of an employee benefit plan) and under which payments are to be made to or for the benefit of employees or former employees of the employer or persons who do not deal at arm’s length with any such employee or former employee, other than a payment that, if this chapter were read without reference to the third paragraph of section 38 and to section 47.1, would not be required to be included in computing the income of the recipient or of an employee or former employee.

However, such a plan does not include any part of the arrangement that is a plan referred to in any of subparagraphs a, a.1, d and e of the first paragraph of section 38 or in section 43 or 47, a group health or accident insurance plan, a private health services plan, a group term life insurance policy, a trust referred to in paragraph m of section 998, an employee trust, an employee life and health trust, an arrangement the sole purpose of which is to provide education or training for employees of the employer to improve their work or work-related skills and abilities, a salary deferral arrangement in respect of an individual under which a deferred amount must be included as a benefit under section 37 in computing the individual’s income, a retirement compensation arrangement or a prescribed arrangement.

(a)  payments are made by one or more employers to a trustee in trust solely to provide for the payment of benefits to employees or former employees of the employer or a person with whom the employer does not deal at arm’s length;

(b)  the right to a benefit referred to in subparagraph a vests only at the time of its payment;

(c)  the amount of a benefit referred to in subparagraph a does not depend on the individual’s position, performance or compensation as an employee; and

(d)  the trustee has, since the commencement of the arrangement, each year allocated to individuals who are beneficiaries under the trust, in such manner as is reasonable, an amount equal to the excess described in section 47.8.

Chapter V.2 of Title II of Book I applies in relation to an election made under paragraph c of the definition of “employee trust” in subsection 1 of section 248 of the Income Tax Act or in relation to an election made under this section before 20 December 2006.

1982, c. 5, s. 19; 2009, c. 5, s. 45.

47.8. The excess referred to in subparagraph d of the first paragraph of section 47.7 is obtained by subtracting the aggregate of the capital losses of the trust for the year from the disposition of property and of the losses, other than allowable capital losses from the disposition of property, of the trust for the year from any source other than a business, from the aggregate of amounts received under the arrangement by the trustee in the year from an employer or from a person with whom the employer does not deal at arm’s length, capital gains of the trust for the year from the disposition of property and amounts that would, but for paragraph a of section 657 and section 657.1, be the income of the trust for the year, other than a taxable capital gain from the disposition of property, from any source other than a business.

1982, c. 5, s. 19; 2009, c. 5, s. 46.

47.9. Notwithstanding section 47.7, an employee trust does not include a profit sharing plan, a deferred profit sharing plan or a plan the registration of which is revoked under subsection 14 or 14.1 of section 147 of the Income Tax Act (Revised Statutes of Canada, 1985, chapter 1, 5th Supplement).

1988, c. 18, s. 5; 1998, c. 16, s. 61.

47.11. Where at the end of a taxation year any person has a right under a salary deferral arrangement in respect of an individual to receive a deferred amount, an amount equal to the deferred amount is deemed, for the purposes only of section 37, to have been received by the individual as a benefit in the year, to the extent that the amount was not otherwise included in computing the individual’s income for the year or any preceding taxation year.

1988, c. 18, s. 5.

47.12. Where at the end of a taxation year any person has a right under a salary deferral arrangement, other than a trust governed by a salary deferral arrangement, in respect of an individual to receive a deferred amount, an amount equal to any interest or other additional amount that accrued to, or for the benefit of, that person to the end of the year in respect of the deferred amount is deemed at the end of the year, for the purposes only of section 47.11, to be a deferred amount that the person has a right to receive under the arrangement.

1988, c. 18, s. 5; 1998, c. 16, s. 62.

47.13. Section 47.11 does not apply in respect of a deferred amount under a salary deferral arrangement in respect of an individual that was established primarily for the benefit of one or more employees not resident in Canada in respect of services to be rendered in a country other than Canada, to the extent that the deferred amount

(a)  was in respect of services rendered by an employee who was not resident in Canada at the time the services were rendered, or was resident in Canada for a period, in this section referred to as an “excluded period”, of not more than 36 of the 72 months preceding the time the services were rendered and was an employee to whom the arrangement applied before the employee became resident in Canada; and

(b)  cannot reasonably be regarded as being in respect of services rendered or to be rendered during a period, other than an excluded period, when the employee was resident in Canada.

For the purposes of this Part, other than this section, where deferred amounts under a salary deferral arrangement in respect of an individual, in this section referred to as “that arrangement”, are required to be included as benefits under section 37 in computing the individual’s income and that arrangement is part of a plan or arrangement, in this section referred to as “the plan”, under which amounts or benefits not related to the deferred amounts are payable or provided, the following rules apply:

(a)  that arrangement is deemed to be a separate arrangement independent of other parts of the plan of which it is a part;

(b)  where any person has a right to a deferred amount under that arrangement, an amount received by the person as a benefit at any time out of or under the plan is deemed to have been received out of or under that arrangement except to the extent that it exceeds the amount by which

i.  the aggregate of all deferred amounts under that arrangement that were included under section 37 as benefits in computing the individual’s income for taxation years ending before that time exceeds

ii.  the aggregate of all deferred amounts received by any person before that time out of or under the plan that were deemed by this paragraph to have been received out of or under that arrangement, and all deferred amounts under that arrangement that were deducted under section 78.2 in computing the individual’s income for the year or a preceding taxation year.

47.15. For the purposes of this division, a salary deferral arrangement in respect of an individual means a plan or arrangement, whether funded or not, under which any person has a right in a taxation year to receive an amount after the end of the year where it is reasonable to consider that one of the main purposes for the creation or existence of the right is to postpone tax payable under this Part by the individual in respect of an amount that is, or is on account or in lieu of, salary or wages of the individual for services rendered by the individual in the year or a preceding taxation year.

The right referred to in the first paragraph includes a right that is subject to one or more conditions unless there is a substantial risk that any one of those conditions will not be satisfied.

(a)  the taxpayer receives no consideration for the disposition of the exchanged option other than rights under an agreement with any of the following persons to acquire securities of any such person or of a qualifying person with which any such person does not deal at arm’s length, which rights and securities are referred to in this section as the “new option” and the “new securities”, respectively:

i.  the particular qualifying person,

(b)  the amount by which the total value of the new securities immediately after the disposition exceeds the amount determined under the second paragraph does not exceed the amount by which the total value of the old securities immediately before the disposition exceeds the amount determined under the third paragraph.

49.5.

(a)  the taxpayer is deemed not to have exchanged or disposed of the exchanged securities and not to have acquired the new securities;

(b)  the new securities are deemed to be the same securities as, and a continuation of, the exchanged securities, except for the purpose of determining if the new securities are identical to any other securities;

2003, c. 2, s. 20.

49.7. For the purposes of sections 50 and 725.2, where a taxpayer receives at a particular time one or more particular amounts in respect of rights of the taxpayer to acquire securities under an agreement referred to in section 48 ceasing to be exercisable in accordance with the terms of the agreement, and the cessation would not, but for this section, constitute a transfer or disposition of those rights by the taxpayer, the following rules apply:

(a)  the taxpayer is deemed to have disposed of those rights at the particular time to a person with whom the taxpayer was dealing at arm’s length and to have received the particular amounts as consideration for the disposition; and

(b)  for the purpose of determining the amount, if any, of the benefit that the taxpayer is deemed by section 50 to have received as a consequence of the disposition referred to in paragraph a, the taxpayer is deemed to have paid an amount to acquire those rights equal to the amount by which the amount paid by the taxpayer to acquire those rights, determined without reference to this section, exceeds the aggregate of all amounts each of which is an amount received by the taxpayer before the particular time in respect of the cessation.

2003, c. 2, s. 20.

50. An employee who transfers or disposes of rights under the agreement referred to in section 48 in respect of securities to a person with whom the employee is dealing at arm’s length, is deemed to receive because of the employee’s office or employment, in the taxation year in which the employee makes the transfer or disposition, a benefit equal to the amount by which the value of the consideration for the transfer or disposition exceeds the amount paid by the employee to acquire those rights.

1972, c. 23, s. 44; 1993, c. 16, s. 31; 1998, c. 16, s. 69; 2001, c. 53, s. 19.

An employee who transfers or disposes of rights under the agreement referred to in section 48 in respect of some or all of the securities to the particular qualifying person (or a qualifying person with which the particular qualifying person is not dealing at arm’s length) with which the employee is not dealing at arm’s length is deemed to receive, because of the employee’s office or employment, in the taxation year in which the employee makes the transfer or disposition, a benefit equal to the amount by which the value of the consideration for the transfer or disposition exceeds the amount paid by the employee to acquire those rights.

2011, c. 34, s. 20.

51. If rights of the employee under the agreement referred to in section 48 have, by one or more transactions between persons not dealing at arm’s length, become vested in a person who exercises the employee’s right to acquire a security under the agreement, the employee is deemed, subject to the second paragraph, to receive because of the employee’s office or employment, in the taxation year in which the person acquired the security, a benefit equal to the amount by which the value of the security at the time that person acquired it exceeds the aggregate of the amount paid or to be paid to the qualifying person by the person for the security and the amount paid by the employee to acquire the right to acquire the security.

Where the employee was deceased at the time the person acquired the security, the benefit is deemed to have been received by the person, in the taxation year in which the person acquired the security, as income from the duties of an office or employment performed by the person in that year in the country in which the employee primarily performed the duties of the employee’s office or employment.

1972, c. 23, s. 45; 1993, c. 16, s. 31; 1997, c. 3, s. 71; 1998, c. 16, s. 70; 2001, c. 53, s. 19.

52. If rights of the employee under the agreement referred to in section 48 have, by one or more transactions between persons not dealing at arm’s length, become vested in a particular person who transfers or disposes of the rights to another person with whom the particular person is dealing at arm’s length, the employee is deemed, subject to the second paragraph, to receive because of the employee’s office or employment, in the taxation year in which the particular person made the transfer or disposition, a benefit equal to the amount by which the value of the consideration for the transfer or disposition exceeds the amount paid by the employee to acquire those rights.

Where the employee was deceased at the time the other person acquired the employee’s rights, the benefit is deemed to have been received by the particular person, in the taxation year in which the particular person transferred or disposed of the employee’s rights, as income from the duties of an office or employment performed by the particular person in that year in the country in which the employee primarily performed the duties of the employee’s office or employment.

1972, c. 23, s. 46; 1993, c. 16, s. 31; 1998, c. 16, s. 71.

52.0.1. If rights of an employee under the agreement referred to in section 48 have, by one or more transactions between persons not dealing at arm’s length, become vested in a particular person who transfers or disposes of the rights to a particular qualifying person (or a qualifying person with which the particular qualifying person is not dealing at arm’s length) with which the particular person is not dealing at arm’s length, the employee is deemed, subject to the second paragraph, to receive, because of the employee’s office or employment, in the taxation year in which the particular person made the transfer or disposition, a benefit equal to the amount by which the value of the consideration for the transfer or disposition exceeds the amount paid by the employee to acquire those rights.

Where the employee was deceased at the time the particular person transferred or disposed of the employee’s rights, the benefit is deemed to have been received by the particular person, in the taxation year in which the particular person transferred or disposed of the employee’s rights, as income from the duties of an office or employment performed by the particular person in that year in the country in which the employee primarily performed the duties of the employee’s office or employment.

2011, c. 34, s. 21.

52.1. Where an employee has died and, immediately before the death, the employee owned a right to acquire a security under the agreement referred to in section 48, the employee is deemed to have received because of the employee’s office or employment, in the taxation year in which the employee died, a benefit equal to the amount by which the value of the right immediately after the death exceeds the amount paid by the employee to acquire the right, and sections 50 to 52.0.1 do not apply.

1993, c. 16, s. 32; 1998, c. 16, s. 72; 2001, c. 53, s. 20; 2011, c. 34, s. 22.

53. If a security is held by a trustee, in any manner whatever, for an employee, the employee is deemed, for the purposes of this division and sections 725.2, 725.2.2 and 725.3, to acquire the security at the time the trustee begins so to hold it and to exchange or dispose of the security at the time the trustee exchanges it or disposes of it to any person other than the employee.

1972, c. 23, s. 47; 1987, c. 67, s. 14; 1998, c. 16, s. 72; 2001, c. 53, s. 21; 2003, c. 2, s. 21.

54. If a particular qualifying person has agreed to sell or issue one of its securities, or a security of a qualifying person with which it does not deal at arm’s length, to one of its employees or to an employee of the qualifying person with which it does not deal at arm’s length, the employee is deemed to receive no benefit under or because of the agreement other than as provided in this division.

1972, c. 23, s. 48; 2001, c. 53, s. 21.

55. If a particular qualifying person has agreed to sell or issue one of its securities, or a security of a qualifying person with which it does not deal at arm’s length, to one of its employees or to an employee of the qualifying person with which it does not deal at arm’s length, the income for a taxation year of any person is deemed to be not less than it would have been for the year if no benefit had been conferred on the employee by the sale or issue of the security.

1972, c. 23, s. 49; 1986, c. 19, s. 9; 1997, c. 3, s. 71; 2001, c. 53, s. 21.

56. Where a person to whom sections 48 to 52.1 would otherwise apply ceases to be an employee before all conditions have been fulfilled that would make such sections applicable, those sections apply as though the person were still an employee and as though the office or employment were still in existence.

1972, c. 23, s. 50; 2001, c. 53, s. 21.

57. This division does not apply where the benefit conferred under the agreement contemplated in section 48 was not received by reason of the office or employment.

1972, c. 23, s. 51.

58. For the purposes of this division, except section 53, and of sections 725.2, 725.2.2 and 725.3, if a particular qualifying person has entered into an arrangement under which one of its securities, or a security of a qualifying person with which it does not deal at arm’s length, is sold or issued by either person to a trustee to be held by the trustee in trust for sale to an employee of the particular qualifying person or of a qualifying person with which it does not deal at arm’s length, the following rules apply:

(a)  any particular right of the employee under the arrangement in respect of the security is deemed to be a right under a particular agreement referred to in section 48;

(b)  any security acquired under the arrangement by the employee or by a person in whom the particular right has become vested is deemed to be a security acquired under the particular agreement referred to in section 48; and

(c)  any amount paid or agreed to be paid to the trustee for any security acquired under the arrangement by the employee or by a person in whom the particular right has become vested is deemed to be an amount paid or agreed to be paid to the particular qualifying person for a security acquired under the particular agreement referred to in section 48.

However, section 53 does not apply to the case contemplated by this section.

In the formula in the first paragraph,

(a)  A is the lesser of

i.  the aggregate of all amounts each of which is the cost to the individual of an eligible tool acquired by the individual after 1 May 2006 and in the year, and

ii.  the aggregate of

(1)  the amount that would be the individual’s income for the year from employment as a tradesperson if this chapter were read without reference to this division, and

(b)  B is an amount of $1,000.

An individual may deduct an amount for the year under the first paragraph only if the individual sends the Minister the prescribed form referred to in paragraph c of the definition of “eligible tool” in the first paragraph of section 75.2 with the fiscal return the individual is required to file for the year under this Part.

(a)  A is the aggregate of all amounts each of which is the cost to the individual of an eligible tool acquired in the year by the individual or, if the individual first becomes employed as an eligible apprentice mechanic in the year, the cost to the individual of an eligible tool acquired by the individual in the last three months of the preceding taxation year;

(b)  B is the lesser of

i.  the aggregate determined for the year under subparagraph a in respect of the individual, and

(2)  5% of the amount determined under the third paragraph; and

(c)  C is the amount by which the amount determined under subparagraph b of the first paragraph for the preceding taxation year in respect of the individual exceeds the amount deducted under this section for that preceding taxation year by the individual.

The amount to which subparagraph 2 of subparagraph ii of subparagraph b of the second paragraph refers is equal to the aggregate of

(a)  the aggregate of all amounts each of which is the individual’s income for the year from employment as an eligible apprentice mechanic, computed without reference to this section; and

(b)  the amount, if any, by which the amount included in computing the individual’s income for the year under paragraph i of section 312 exceeds the amount deducted in computing the individual’s income for the year under paragraph d.3.0.1 of section 336.

No amount may be deducted for the year by an individual under the first paragraph, unless the individual files with the Minister, together with the individual’s fiscal return for the year under this Part, the prescribed form referred to in paragraph c of the definition of “eligible tool” in the first paragraph of section 75.2.

A − (A × B / C).

In the formula provided for in the first paragraph,

(a)  A is the cost to the individual of the eligible tool, computed without reference to this section;

(b)  B is

i.  if the tool is an eligible tool in respect of which only section 75.2.1 applies for the year, the amount that is deductible by the individual for the year under that section,

ii.  if the tool is an eligible tool in respect of which only section 75.3 applies for the year, the amount that would be determined under subparagraph b of the first paragraph of section 75.3 in respect of the individual for the year if the excess amount determined under subparagraph c of the second paragraph of that section were nil, and

iii.  if the tool is an eligible tool in respect of which sections 75.2.1 and 75.3 apply for the year, the aggregate of

(1)  the amount that is deductible by the individual for the year under section 75.2.1, and

(2)  the amount that would be determined under subparagraph b of the first paragraph of section 75.3 in respect of the individual for the year if the excess amount determined under subparagraph c of the second paragraph of that section were nil; and

(c)  C is

i.  if the tool is an eligible tool in respect of which only section 75.2.1 applies for the year, the aggregate determined under subparagraph i of subparagraph a of the second paragraph of that section in respect of the individual for the year,

ii.  if the tool is an eligible tool in respect of which only section 75.3 applies for the year, the aggregate determined under subparagraph a of the second paragraph of that section in respect of the individual for the year, and

iii.  if the tool is an eligible tool in respect of which sections 75.2.1 and 75.3 apply for the year, the greater of the aggregate determined under subparagraph i of subparagraph a of the second paragraph of section 75.2.1 in respect of the individual for the year and the aggregate determined under subparagraph a of the second paragraph of section 75.3 in respect of the individual for the year.

76. An individual who, in the year, is a member of the clergy or of a religious order or a regular minister of a religious denomination, and is in charge of or ministering to a diocese, parish or congregation or engaged exclusively in full-time administrative service by appointment of a religious order or religious denomination, may deduct the amount, not exceeding the individual’s remuneration for the year from the office or employment, equal to

(b)  an amount, not exceeding the amount determined under the second paragraph, that is equal to the total of the rent and expenses in respect of utilities paid by the individual for the individual’s principal place of residence or for another principal living accommodation ordinarily occupied during the year by the individual, or the fair rental value of such a residence or living accommodation, including the value of utilities, owned by the individual or the individual’s spouse, to the extent that the individual is required to use that place of residence or other living accommodation in performing the duties of the individual’s office or employment.

The amount to which subparagraph b of the first paragraph refers is the lesser of

(a)  the greater of

i.  $1,000 multiplied by the number of months in the year during which the individual is a member or a minister referred to in the first paragraph, not exceeding $10,000, and

ii.  one-third of the individual’s remuneration for the year from the office or employment; and

(b)  the amount by which the total of the rent paid or the fair rental value of the residence or living accommodation and expenses in respect of utilities exceeds the aggregate of all amounts each of which is an amount deducted, in respect of the residence or accommodation, in computing a particular individual’s income from an office or employment or from a business, other than an amount deducted under the first paragraph by the individual, to the extent that the amount can reasonably be considered to relate to the period, or a portion of the period, in respect of which the individual deducted an amount under the first paragraph.

No amount may be deducted for the year by an individual under the first paragraph, unless the individual files with the Minister, together with the individual’s fiscal return for the year under this Part, a prescribed form signed by the individual’s employer certifying that the conditions set out in that paragraph were met in the year in respect of the individual.

77.1. If, in a taxation year, an employee is deemed by reason of section 53 to have disposed of a security, as defined in section 47.18, held by a trust, the trust disposed of the security to the person that issued the security, the disposition occurred as a result of the employee not meeting the conditions necessary for title to the security to vest in the employee, and the amount paid by the person to acquire the security from the trust or to redeem or cancel the security did not exceed the amount paid to the person for the security, the following rules apply:

(a)  there may be deducted in computing the employee’s income for the year from an office or employment the amount by which the amount of the benefit deemed by section 49 to have been received by the employee in the year or a preceding taxation year in respect of the security exceeds any amount deducted under section 725.2 or 725.3 in computing the employee’s taxable income for the year or a preceding taxation year in respect of that benefit; and

(b)  notwithstanding any other provision of this Part, any gain or loss of the employee otherwise determined from the disposition of the security is deemed to be nil, and Division I of Chapter III of Title IX does not apply to deem a dividend to have been received in respect of the disposition.

1993, c. 16, s. 40; 1997, c. 3, s. 71; 2001, c. 53, s. 23; 2010, c. 25, s. 11.

78. An individual may deduct, in computing the individual’s income for a taxation year, any amount paid by the individual in the year, or on behalf of the individual in the year if the amount paid on behalf of the individual is required to be included in computing the individual’s income for the year, as office rent or salary to an assistant or substitute or for supplies consumed directly in the performance of duties if the individual’s contract of employment requires the individual to pay such amounts and, as the case may be, furnish such supplies.

However, no such amounts may be deducted for the year by the individual unless the individual submits to the Minister, with the fiscal return filed for the year by the individual under this Part, a prescribed form signed by the individual’s employer certifying that the conditions set out in the first paragraph were met in the year in respect of the individual.

The rules set forth in sections 62.1 to 62.3 apply, with the necessary modifications, for the purpose of computing the amount that may be deducted by an individual under this section in respect of any part, in those sections referred to as the “work space”, of a self-contained domestic establishment in which the individual resides.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, the individual shall not deduct that part of amounts so reimbursed which exceeds the aggregate of amounts received by him for such a period.

1984, c. 15, s. 16; 1999, c. 83, s. 29; 2000, c. 5, s. 24; 2005, c. 23, s. 38.

78.1.1.

(a)  in the year, other than within the first 60 days of the year if the deferred amount was received in the preceding taxation year; or

(b)  within 60 days after the end of the year, if the deferred amount was received in the year.

(b)  the amount of the reimbursement referred to in the first paragraph in respect of the individual for the year.

2000, c. 5, s. 25.

78.2. An individual may deduct the amount determined under section 78.3 where at the end of the year the rights of any person to receive benefits under a salary deferral arrangement in respect of the individual have been extinguished or no person has any further right to receive any amount under the arrangement.

1988, c. 18, s. 6.

78.3. The amount referred to in section 78.2 is equal to the amount by which the aggregate of all deferred amounts under the arrangement included in computing the individual’s income for the year and preceding taxation years as benefits under section 37 exceeds the aggregate of

(a)  all such deferred amounts received by any person in that year or preceding taxation years out of or under the arrangement,

(b)  all such deferred amounts receivable by any person in subsequent taxation years out of or under the arrangement, and

(c)  all amounts deducted under section 78.2 in computing the individual’s income for preceding taxation years in respect of deferred amounts under the arrangement.

(a)  amounts disbursed by him before the end of the year for the maintenance, rental and insurance of the instrument for that period, except where the amounts are otherwise deducted in computing his income for any taxation year, and

(b)  such part of the capital cost of the musical instrument as is allowed by regulation.

TITLE III INCOME OR LOSS FROM A BUSINESS OR PROPERTY

1972, c. 23.

CHAPTER I BASIC RULES

1972, c. 23.

80. Subject to this Part, a taxpayer’s income from a business or property is his profit therefrom.

The income a taxpayer must include under this Title in computing his income for a taxation year from businesses or property is his income therefrom for that year, unless this Title provides otherwise.

1972, c. 23, s. 74.

81. A taxpayer’s loss for a taxation year from a business or property is the amount of such loss computed, with the necessary modifications, by applying the provisions of this Part respecting computation of income from that source.

1972, c. 23, s. 75; 1995, c. 63, s. 25.

82. For the purposes of this Part, income or loss from a property does not include, respectively, any capital gain or any capital loss resulting from the disposition of the property.

1972, c. 23, s. 76; 1985, c. 25, s. 23; 1987, c. 67, s. 17.

83. For the purpose of computing a taxpayer’s income for a taxation year from a business that is not an adventure or concern in the nature of trade, property described in an inventory shall be valued at the end of the year at the cost at which the taxpayer acquired the property or its fair market value at the end of the year, whichever is lower, or in a prescribed manner.

1972, c. 23, s. 77; 1975, c. 22, s. 6; 1980, c. 13, s. 5; 2000, c. 5, s. 26.

83.0.1. For the purpose of computing a taxpayer’s income from a business that is an adventure or concern in the nature of trade, property described in an inventory shall be valued at the cost at which the taxpayer acquired the property.

2000, c. 5, s. 27.

83.0.2. Where, at the end of a taxpayer’s taxation year that is the last year in which property described in an inventory of a business that is an adventure or concern in the nature of trade was valued in accordance with section 83, the property was valued at an amount that is less than the cost at which the taxpayer acquired the property, after that time the cost to the taxpayer at which the property was acquired is, subject to section 83.0.3, deemed to be equal to that amount.

2000, c. 5, s. 27.

83.0.3. Despite section 83.0.1, property described in an inventory of a taxpayer’s business that is an adventure or concern in the nature of trade at the end of the taxpayer’s taxation year that ends immediately before the time at which the taxpayer is subject to a loss restriction event is to be valued at the cost at which the taxpayer acquired the property, or its fair market value at the end of the year, whichever is lower, and, after that time, the cost at which the taxpayer acquired the property is deemed to be equal to that lower amount.

2000, c. 5, s. 27; 2017, c. 1, s. 82.

83.0.4. Where at a particular time a taxpayer not resident in Canada ceases to use, in relation to a business or part of a business carried on by the taxpayer in Canada immediately before that time, a property that was immediately before that time described in the inventory of the business or the part of the business, other than a property that was disposed of by the taxpayer at that time, the following rules apply:

(a)  the taxpayer is deemed to have disposed of the property immediately before that time for proceeds of disposition equal to its fair market value at that time; and

(b)  the taxpayer is deemed to have received those proceeds immediately before that time in the course of carrying on the business or the part of the business.

2004, c. 8, s. 17.

83.0.5. Where at a particular time a property becomes described in the inventory of a business or part of a business that a taxpayer not resident in Canada carries on in Canada after that time, other than a property that was, otherwise than because of this section, acquired by the taxpayer at that time, the taxpayer is deemed to have acquired the property at that time at a cost equal to its fair market value at that time.

2004, c. 8, s. 17.

83.0.6. (Repealed).

2004, c. 8, s. 17; 2021, c. 36, s. 53.

83.0.7. For the purposes of sections 83 to 85.6, property of a taxpayer that is a swap agreement, a forward purchase or sale agreement, a forward rate agreement, a futures agreement, an option agreement, or any similar agreement is deemed not to be property described in an inventory of the taxpayer.

2019, c. 14, s. 71.

83.1. For the purposes of sections 83, 83.0.1 and 83.0.3, where land is described in an inventory of a business of a taxpayer, the cost at which the taxpayer acquired the land shall include each amount that

(a)  is the amount of an expense referred to in the first paragraph of section 164, in respect of the land and for which no deduction is permitted to the taxpayer, or to another person or partnership that is

i.  a person or partnership with whom or with which the taxpayer does not deal at arm’s length,

ii.  if the taxpayer is a corporation, a person or partnership that is a specified shareholder of the taxpayer, or

iii.  if the taxpayer is a partnership, a person or partnership whose share of any income or loss of the taxpayer is 10% or more; and

(b)  is not included in or added to the cost to that other person or partnership of any property otherwise than because of paragraph e.1 of section 255 or subparagraph xi of paragraph i of that section.

1990, c. 59, s. 46; 1993, c. 16, s. 45; 1997, c. 3, s. 71; 2000, c. 5, s. 28.

84. Notwithstanding section 83, for the purpose of computing income for a taxation year from a business, the taxpayer shall value the property described in his inventory at the commencement of the year at the same amount as that at which it was valued at the end of the preceding year for the purpose of computing income for that preceding year.

1972, c. 23, s. 78.

84.1. Where property described in an inventory of a taxpayer’s business that is not an adventure or concern in the nature of trade is valued at the end of a taxation year in accordance with a method permitted under sections 83 to 85.6, that method shall, subject to section 85.5, be used in the valuation of property described in the inventory of that business at the end of the following taxation year for the purpose of computing the taxpayer’s income from the business unless the taxpayer, with the concurrence of the Minister and on any terms and conditions that are specified by the Minister, adopts another method permitted under those sections.

1993, c. 16, s. 46; 2000, c. 5, s. 29.

85. Where, according to the method adopted by the taxpayer for computing income from a business for a taxation year, the property described in his inventory at the commencement of that year has not been valued as required by section 83, such property is nevertheless deemed to have been valued in that manner, if the Minister so directs.

1972, c. 23, s. 79.

85.1. For the purposes of section 83, the fair market value of the property described in the inventory of a taxpayer means, in the case of work in progress at the end of a taxation year of a business that is a profession, the amount that can reasonably be expected to become receivable in respect thereof after the end of the year and, in other cases, the replacement cost of the property.

1982, c. 5, s. 23; 1984, c. 15, s. 17.

85.2. Section 85.1 does not apply to property that is obsolete, damaged or defective or that is held for sale or lease or for the purpose of being processed, fabricated, manufactured, incorporated into, attached to, or otherwise converted into property for sale or lease.

1982, c. 5, s. 23.

85.3. Without restricting the generality of this chapter,

(a)  property, other than capital property, of a taxpayer that is work in progress of a business that is a profession, advertising or packaging material, parts or supplies must be included in his inventory;

(b)  property used primarily for the purposes of advertising or packaging property that is included in the inventory of a taxpayer shall be deemed not to be property held for sale or lease or for any of the purposes referred to in section 85.2; and

(c)  property of a taxpayer, the cost to him of which was deductible by virtue of paragraph n of section 157 must be included in his inventory having a cost to him, except for the purposes of that paragraph, of nil.

1982, c. 5, s. 23; 1984, c. 15, s. 18; 1986, c. 15, s. 46; 1997, c. 14, s. 28.

85.3.0.1. (Repealed).

2021, c. 14, s. 25; 2021, c. 36, s. 54.

85.3.1. Without restricting the generality of this Title, for the purposes of computing the income of a taxpayer derived for a taxation year from a metal recycling business, the cost of a property owned by the taxpayer as is described in the inventory of the business is deemed to be nil, unless the taxpayer,

(a)  where the property is acquired by the taxpayer from a person or a partnership who or which is registered for the purposes of the Québec sales tax, obtains from that person or partnership, at the time of the acquisition, the registration number that is assigned to the person or partnership in accordance with the Act respecting the Québec sales tax (chapter T-0.1); or

(b)  in any other case, fills out, at the time of the acquisition of the property, a document signed by the individual who delivers the property to the taxpayer and containing the information required by section 85.3.2 in relation to the acquisition.

2000, c. 39, s. 7; 2001, c. 51, s. 21.

2001, c. 51, s. 22; 2005, c. 14, s. 51; 2010, c. 7, s. 212.

85.4. For the purposes of sections 83 to 85.6, the expression “artistic endeavour” of an individual means the business of creating paintings, prints, etchings, drawings, sculptures or similar works of art, where such works of art are created by the individual, but does not include a business of reproducing works of art.

1987, c. 67, s. 18.

85.5. Despite section 83, for the purpose of computing the income of an individual other than a trust for a taxation year from an artistic endeavour, the value of the property in the individual’s inventory for the year is deemed to be nil if the individual makes, in relation to the year, a valid election under subsection 6 of section 10 of the Income Tax Act (R.S.C. 1985, c. 1 (5th Suppl.)) after 19 December 2006 in respect of the artistic endeavour.

Chapter V.2 of Title II of Book I applies in relation to an election made under subsection 6 of section 10 of the Income Tax Act or in relation to an election made under this section before 20 December 2006.

1987, c. 67, s. 18; 2009, c. 5, s. 49.

85.6. If the value of the property in an individual’s inventory in relation to an artistic endeavour is deemed to be nil for a taxation year because of an election referred to in the first paragraph of section 85.5 made in relation to that year, the value of the property in the individual’s inventory in relation to the artistic endeavour is deemed to be nil for each subsequent taxation year, unless the taxation year is a year in relation to which a revocation, made by the individual under subsection 7 of section 10 of the Income Tax Act (R.S.C. 1985, c. 1 (5th Suppl.)) after 19 December 2006, of an election made under subsection 6 of section 10 of that Act in respect of the artistic endeavour, is valid.

Any condition determined by the Minister of National Revenue for the revocation referred to in the first paragraph applies, with the necessary modifications, in computing the income from the artistic endeavour.

Chapter V.2 of Title II of Book I applies in relation to a revocation made under subsection 7 of section 10 of the Income Tax Act or in relation to a revocation made under this section before 20 December 2006.

1987, c. 67, s. 18; 2009, c. 5, s. 49.

85.7. Where a taxpayer has made a valid election under subsection 1 of section 10.1 of the Income Tax Act (R.S.C. 1985, c. 1 (5th Suppl.)), the following rules apply in respect of the taxation years to which the election applies for the purposes of that Act (each such taxation year being referred to in this section as a “particular taxation year”):

(a)  where the taxpayer is a financial institution, within the meaning of section 851.22.1, in the particular taxation year, each eligible derivative held by the taxpayer in the particular year is, for the purposes of this Act and with the necessary modifications, deemed to be mark-to-market property, within the meaning of section 851.22.1, of the taxpayer for the particular year; and

(b)  in any other case, the taxpayer is deemed

i.  to have disposed, immediately before the end of the particular taxation year, of each eligible derivative held by the taxpayer at the end of that year and received proceeds of disposition or paid an amount, as the case may be, equal to the fair market value of the eligible derivative at the time of disposition, and

ii.  to have reacquired, or reissued or renewed, at the end of the taxation year, each of the eligible derivatives referred to in subparagraph i at an amount equal to the proceeds of disposition or the amount paid, as the case may be, referred to in subparagraph i, in respect of the eligible derivative.

For the purposes of the first paragraph, where a taxpayer revokes, under subsection 2 of section 10.1 of the Income Tax Act and for the purposes of that Act, an election made under subsection 1 of that section 10.1, a taxation year in relation to which the revocation applies for the purposes of that Act is not a particular taxation year.

Chapter V.2 of Title II of Book I applies in relation to an election made under subsection 1 of section 10.1 of the Income Tax Act or an application for revocation made under subsection 2 of that section 10.1.

2020, c. 16, s. 32.

85.8. For the purposes of sections 85.7 and 85.9 to 85.12, an eligible derivative of a taxpayer for a taxation year means a swap agreement, a forward purchase or sale agreement, a forward rate agreement, a futures agreement, an option agreement or a similar agreement, held in the year by the taxpayer, where

(a)  the agreement is not a capital property, a Canadian resource property, a foreign resource property or an obligation on account of capital of the taxpayer;

(b)  either

i.  the taxpayer has produced audited financial statements prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles for the taxation year, or

ii.  if the taxpayer has not produced financial statements described in subparagraph i, the agreement has a readily ascertainable fair market value; and

(c)  if the agreement is held by a financial institution within the meaning of section 851.22.1, the agreement is not a tracking property within the meaning of that section (other than an excluded property within the meaning of that section) of the financial institution.

2020, c. 16, s. 32.

85.9. Where a taxpayer holds an eligible derivative at the beginning of its first taxation year in respect of which an election provided for in section 85.7 applies (in this section referred to as the “election year”) and, in the taxation year immediately preceding the election year, the taxpayer did not compute its profit or loss in respect of that eligible derivative in accordance with a method of profit computation that produces a substantially similar effect to that provided for in subparagraph b of the first paragraph of section 85.7, the following rules apply:

(a)  the taxpayer is deemed

i.  to have disposed of the eligible derivative immediately before the beginning of the election year and received proceeds of disposition or paid an amount, as the case may be, equal to the fair market value of the eligible derivative at that time, and

ii.  to have reacquired, or reissued or renewed, the eligible derivative at the beginning of the election year at an amount equal to the proceeds of disposition or the amount paid, as the case may be, referred to in subparagraph i;

(b)  the profit or loss that would arise, but for this paragraph, on the deemed disposition under subparagraph i of paragraph a

i.  is deemed not to arise in the taxation year immediately preceding the election year, and

ii.  is deemed to arise in the taxation year in which the taxpayer disposes of the eligible derivative (otherwise than under subparagraph i of subparagraph b of the first paragraph of section 85.7 or paragraph a of section 851.22.15); and

(c)  for the purposes of section 175.9, in respect of the disposition of the eligible derivative referred to in subparagraph ii of paragraph b, the profit or loss deemed to arise because of the application of that subparagraph is included in determining the amount of the transferor’s loss, if any, from the disposition.

2020, c. 16, s. 32.

85.10. Where section 85.7 does not apply to a taxpayer referred to in subparagraph b of the first paragraph of that section in respect of a taxation year, the taxpayer shall not use a method of profit computation that produces a substantially similar effect to that provided for in that subparagraph b for the purpose of computing the taxpayer’s income from a business or property in respect of a swap agreement, a forward purchase or sale agreement, a forward rate agreement, a futures agreement, an option agreement or a similar agreement for the year.

2020, c. 16, s. 32.

85.11. For the purposes of sections 85.7 to 85.9, if an agreement that is an eligible derivative of a taxpayer is not a property of the taxpayer, the taxpayer is deemed

(a)  to hold the eligible derivative at any time while the taxpayer is a party to the agreement; and

(b)  to have disposed of the eligible derivative when it is settled or extinguished in respect of the taxpayer.

2020, c. 16, s. 32.

85.12. Where there has been an amalgamation, within the meaning of section 544, of two or more corporations and subparagraph b of the first paragraph of section 85.7 applies to a predecessor corporation, within the meaning of section 544, in its last taxation year, each eligible derivative of the predecessor corporation immediately before the end of its last taxation year is deemed to have been reacquired, or reissued or renewed, as the case may be, by the new corporation, within the meaning of section 544, at its fair market value immediately before the amalgamation.

Where the rules set out in sections 556 to 564.1 and 565 apply to the winding-up of a subsidiary, within the meaning of section 556, the subsidiary’s taxation year in which an eligible derivative was distributed to, or assumed by, the parent, within the meaning of section 556, on the winding-up is deemed, for the purposes of subparagraph b of the first paragraph of section 85.7, to have ended immediately before the time when the eligible derivative was distributed or assumed.

2020, c. 16, s. 32.

86. Subject to sections 217.2 to 217.9.1, where an individual is a proprietor of a business, the individual’s income from the business for a taxation year is deemed to be the income from the business for the fiscal periods of the business that end in the year.

Where an individual’s income for a taxation year includes income from a business the fiscal period of which does not coincide with the calendar year, any reference in respect of the business to the taxation year or the year, in this Title and in sections 487 to 487.0.4, is to be read as a reference to the fiscal period ending in the year, unless the context otherwise requires.

1972, c. 23, s. 80; 1991, c. 25, s. 19; 1995, c. 49, s. 31; 1997, c. 31, s. 10; 2000, c. 5, s. 293; 2015, c. 24, s. 24.

ii.  of another person under section 437.2 or 462.0.2, on being transferred to the taxpayer’s farm income stabilization account.

The aggregate to which subparagraph b of the second paragraph refers is the aggregate of all amounts each of which is the amount by which an amount otherwise determined under this section in respect of a payment out of the taxpayer’s farm income stabilization account, before the particular time, was reduced because of that subparagraph b.

2004, c. 21, s. 51; 2017, c. 1, s. 85.

92.5.3.2. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Part, an amount added or credited to a taxpayer’s farm income stabilization account shall not be included in computing the taxpayer’s income solely because of that adding or crediting.

(a)  the aggregate of all amounts each of which is an amount deducted by him under section 141 in respect of the property in computing his income for the year or a preceding taxation year, exceeds

In the formula in the definition of “reserve transition amount” in the first paragraph,

(a)  A is the maximum amount that the insurer would be permitted to claim under the second paragraph of section 152 as a reserve for its base year in respect of its insurance policies if

i.  the generally accepted accounting principles that applied to the insurer in valuing its assets and liabilities for its transition year had applied to it for its base year, and

ii.  the regulations made under the second paragraph of section 152, as they read for the insurer’s transition year, applied to its base year; and

(b)  B is the maximum amount that the insurer is permitted to claim under the second paragraph of section 152 as a reserve for its base year.

2010, c. 25, s. 12.

92.24. There must be included in computing an insurer’s income for its transition year from an insurance business carried on by it in Canada in the transition year, the positive amount of the insurer’s reserve transition amount in respect of that insurance business.

2010, c. 25, s. 12.

92.25. If an amount has been deducted under section 175.2.17 in computing an insurer’s income for its transition year from an insurance business carried on by it in Canada, there must be included in computing the insurer’s income, for each particular taxation year of the insurer that ends after the beginning of the transition year, from that insurance business, the amount determined by the formula

A × B/1,825.

In the formula in the first paragraph,

(a)  A is the amount deducted under section 175.2.17 in computing the insurer’s income for its transition year from that insurance business; and

(b)  B is the number of days in the particular taxation year that are before the day that is 1,825 days after the first day of the transition year.

2010, c. 25, s. 12.

92.26. If an insurer has, in a winding-up to which section 556 has applied, been wound up into another corporation (in this section referred to as the “parent”), and immediately after the winding-up the parent carries on an insurance business, in applying sections 92.25 and 175.2.18 in computing the incomes of the insurer and of the parent for the particular taxation years that end on or after the first day (in this section referred to as the “start day”) on which assets of the insurer were distributed to the parent on the winding-up, the following rules apply:

(a)  the parent is, on and after the start day, deemed to be the same corporation as and a continuation of the insurer in respect of

i.  any amount included under section 92.24 or deducted under section 175.2.17 in computing the insurer’s income from an insurance business for its transition year,

ii.  any amount included under section 92.25 or deducted under section 175.2.18 in computing the insurer’s income from an insurance business for a taxation year of the insurer that begins before the start day, and

iii.  any amount that would—in the absence of this section and if the insurer existed and carried on an insurance business on each day that is the start day or a subsequent day and on which the parent carries on an insurance business—be required to be included under section 92.25 or deducted under section 175.2.18, in respect of any of those days, in computing the insurer’s income from an insurance business; and

(b)  the insurer is, in respect of each of its particular taxation years, to determine the number of days that is referred to in subparagraph b of the second paragraph of sections 92.25 and 175.2.18 without reference to the start day and days after the start day.

2010, c. 25, s. 12.

92.27. The rules in section 92.28 apply if, at any time, an insurer (in this section and section 92.28 referred to as the “transferor”) transfers, to a corporation (in this section and section 92.28 referred to as the “transferee”) that is related to the transferor, property in respect of an insurance business carried on by the transferor in Canada (in this section and section 92.28 referred to as the “transferred business”) and

(a)  section 832.3 or 832.9 applies to the transfer; or

(b)  section 518 applies to the transfer, the transfer includes all or substantially all of the property and liabilities of the transferred business and, immediately after the transfer, the transferee carries on an insurance business.

2010, c. 25, s. 12.

92.28. The rules to which section 92.27 refers and that apply to the transfer of property at any time are as follows:

(a)  the transferee is, at and after that time, deemed to be the same corporation as and a continuation of the transferor in respect of

i.  any amount included under section 92.24 or deducted under section 175.2.17 in computing the transferor’s income for its transition year that can reasonably be attributed to the transferred business,

ii.  any amount included under section 92.25 or deducted under section 175.2.18 in computing the transferor’s income for a taxation year of the transferor that begins before that time that can reasonably be attributed to the transferred business,

iii.  any amount that would—in the absence of this section and if the transferor existed and carried on an insurance business on each day that includes that time or is a subsequent day and on which the transferee carries on an insurance business—be required to be included under section 92.25 or deducted under section 175.2.18, in respect of any of those days, in computing the transferor’s income that can reasonably be attributed to the transferred business; and

(b)  for the purpose of determining, in respect of the day that includes that time or any subsequent day, any amount that is required to be included under section 92.25 or deducted under section 175.2.18 in computing the transferor’s income for each particular taxation year from the transferred business, the amount referred to in subparagraph a of the second paragraph of those sections is deemed to be nil.

2010, c. 25, s. 12.

92.29. If at any time an insurer ceases (otherwise than as a result of an amalgamation within the meaning of subsections 1 and 2 of section 544) to carry on all or substantially all of an insurance business (in this section referred to as the “discontinued business”), and neither section 92.26 nor 92.27 applies, there must be included in computing the insurer’s income from the discontinued business for the insurer’s taxation year that includes the time that is immediately before that time, the amount determined by the formula

A - B.

In the formula in the first paragraph,

(a)  A is the amount deducted under section 175.2.17 in computing the insurer’s income from the discontinued business for its transition year; and

(b)  B is the aggregate of all amounts each of which is an amount included under section 92.25 in computing the insurer’s income from the discontinued business for a taxation year that began before that time.

2010, c. 25, s. 12.

92.30. If at any time an insurer that carried on an insurance business ceases to exist (otherwise than as a result of a winding-up described in section 92.26 or of an amalgamation within the meaning of subsections 1 and 2 of section 544), for the purposes of sections 92.29 and 175.2.19, the insurer is deemed to have ceased to carry on the insurance business at the time (determined without reference to this section) at which the insurer ceased to carry on the insurance business or, if it is earlier, the time that is immediately before the end of the last taxation year of the insurer that ended at or before the time at which the insurer ceased to exist.

2010, c. 25, s. 12.

92.31. The second paragraph applies for a taxation year of an entity in respect of a security of the entity if

(a)  the security becomes, at a particular time in the taxation year, a stapled security of the entity and, as a consequence, section 158.18 applies to deny the deductibility of amounts described in paragraphs a and b of that section;

(b)  the security (or any security for which the security was substituted) ceased, at an earlier time, to be a stapled security of any entity and, as a consequence, section 158.18 ceased to apply to deny the deductibility of amounts that would have been described in paragraphs a and b of that section if the security had not ceased to be a stapled security; and

(c)  throughout the period that began immediately after the most recent time referred to in subparagraph b and that ends at the particular time, the security (or any security for which the security was substituted) was not a stapled security of any entity.

Where this paragraph applies for a taxation year of an entity in respect of a security of the entity, the entity must include in computing its income for the year each amount that

(a)  was deducted by the entity (or by another entity that issued a security for which the security was substituted) in computing its income for a taxation year that includes any part of the period described in subparagraph c of the first paragraph; and

(b)  would not have been so deductible if section 158.18 had applied in respect of the amount.

The definitions in section 158.16 apply to this section and section 92.32.

2017, c. 1, s. 86.

92.32. For the purposes of section 1037, where the second paragraph of section 92.31 provides for the inclusion of a particular amount described in subparagraph a of that second paragraph in computing the income of an entity for a taxation year, the entity is deemed to have an amount of unpaid tax immediately after the entity’s balance-due day for the year computed as if

(a)  the entity had been resident in Canada throughout the year;

(b)  the entity’s tax payable for the year were equal to the tax payable by the entity on its taxable income for the year;

(c)  the particular amount were the entity’s only taxable income for the year;

(d)  the entity had claimed no deductions under Book V for the year;

(e)  the entity had not paid any amounts on account of its tax payable for the year; and

(f)  the tax payable to which paragraph b applies had been an amount of unpaid tax throughout the period that begins immediately after the end of the taxation year for which the particular amount was deducted and that ends on the entity’s balance-due day for the year.

2017, c. 1, s. 86.

(b)  the aggregate of all amounts each of which is an amount by which the undepreciated capital cost to the taxpayer of depreciable property of that class is required, otherwise than because of a reduction in the capital cost to the taxpayer of depreciable property, to be reduced at or before that time because of section 485.6;

(c)  for each disposition by the taxpayer before that time of property of that class, other than a timber resource property, the lesser of the proceeds of disposition of the property minus any expenses made or incurred by the taxpayer for the purpose of making the disposition, and the capital cost to the taxpayer of the property;

(g)  the aggregate of all amounts each of which is an amount of assistance that the taxpayer received or was entitled to receive before that time, in respect of or for the acquisition of a depreciable property of that class subsequent to the disposition of that property by the taxpayer, that would have been included, under section 101, in the amount of assistance that the taxpayer received or was entitled to receive in respect of that property had the amount been received before the disposition; and

(h)  the aggregate of all amounts each of which is an amount received by the taxpayer before that time in respect of a refund of an amount added to the undepreciated capital cost of depreciable property of that class because of the application of subparagraph ii.3 of subparagraph e of the first paragraph.

(1)  at which a 30-day period begins throughout which neither the transferor nor a person affiliated with the transferor owns or has a right to acquire the particular property, other than a right, as security only, derived from a hypothec, mortgage, agreement of sale or similar obligation,

(2)  at which the particular property is not used by the transferor or a person affiliated with the transferor for the purpose of earning income and is used for another purpose,

(3)  at which the particular property would, if it were owned by the transferor, be deemed under Chapter I of Title I.1 of Book VI or section 999.1 to have been disposed of by the transferor,

(c)  where at a particular time the taxpayer disposes of goodwill as part of the disposition of part of the particular business, receives proceeds of disposition a portion of which is attributable to goodwill and continues to carry on the particular business or is deemed in accordance with section 93.17 to dispose of goodwill at a particular time in respect of the particular business,

i.  the taxpayer is deemed to dispose at that time of a portion of the goodwill property in respect of the particular business having a cost equal to the lesser of the cost of the goodwill property otherwise determined in respect of the particular business and the portion of the proceeds attributable to goodwill, and

ii.  the cost of the goodwill property in respect of the particular business is reduced at that time by the amount determined under subparagraph i; and

(d)  if subparagraph c applies to more than one disposition of goodwill at the same time, that subparagraph c and section 93.19 apply as if each disposition had occurred separately in the order determined in its respect in accordance with paragraph d of subsection 34 of section 13 of the Income Tax Act (R.S.C. 1985, c. 1, (5th Suppl.)).

(a)  the cost, or any part of the cost, of a property;

(b)  but for this section, deductible in computing the taxpayer’s income from the business;

(c)  non-deductible in computing the taxpayer’s income from the business because of any provision of this Part (other than section 129) or the Regulation respecting the Taxation Act (chapter I-3, r. 1);

(b)  in consideration for the cancellation or assignment of an obligation to pay consideration referred to in paragraph a.

2019, c. 14, s. 74.

93.17. Where at a particular time in a taxation year a taxpayer has or may become entitled to receive a particular amount on account of capital in respect of a business that is or was carried on by the taxpayer, the taxpayer is deemed to dispose, at that time, of goodwill in respect of the business for proceeds of disposition equal to the amount by which the particular amount exceeds the aggregate of all outlays or expenses that were made or incurred by the taxpayer for the purpose of obtaining the particular amount and that were not otherwise deductible in computing the taxpayer’s income, if, but for this section, the following conditions were satisfied:

(a)  for the purposes of this Part, the particular amount is not included in computing the taxpayer’s income or deducted in computing any balance of undeducted outlays, expenses or other amounts for the taxation year or a preceding taxation year;

(b)  the particular amount does not reduce the cost or capital cost of a property or the amount of an outlay or expense; and

(c)  the particular amount is not included in computing any gain or loss of the taxpayer from a disposition of a capital property.

2019, c. 14, s. 74.

93.18. Where a taxpayer has incurred an incorporeal capital amount in respect of a business before 1 January 2017, the following rules apply:

(a)  at the beginning of 1 January 2017, the total capital cost of all property of the taxpayer included in Class 14.1 of Schedule B to the Regulation respecting the Taxation Act (chapter I-3, r. 1) in respect of the business, each of which was an incorporeal capital property of the taxpayer immediately before that day or is the goodwill property in respect of the business, is deemed to be equal to the amount determined by the formula

4/3 × (A + B – C);

(b)  at the beginning of 1 January 2017, the capital cost of each property of the taxpayer included in Class 14.1 of Schedule B to the Regulation respecting the Taxation Act in respect of the business, each of which was an incorporeal capital property of the taxpayer immediately before that day or is the goodwill property in respect of the business, is to be determined as follows:

i.  the order for determining the capital cost of each property that is not the goodwill property is identical to the order that is determined for the same purposes under subparagraph i of paragraph b of subsection 38 of section 13 of the Income Tax Act (R.S.C. 1985, c. 1, (5th Suppl.)),

ii.  the capital cost of a particular property that is not the goodwill property in respect of the business is deemed to be equal to the lesser of the incorporeal capital amount of the taxpayer in respect of the particular property and the amount by which the total capital cost of property of the class determined under subparagraph a exceeds the aggregate of all amounts each of which is an amount deemed under this subparagraph ii to be the capital cost of a property that is determined in advance of the determination of the capital cost of the particular property, and

iii.  the capital cost of the goodwill property is deemed to be equal to the amount by which the total capital cost of property of that Class 14.1 exceeds the aggregate of all amounts each of which is an amount deemed under subparagraph ii to be the capital cost of a property;

(c)  an amount equal to the amount by which the aggregate of the total capital cost of property of that Class 14.1 and the amount determined under subparagraph c of the second paragraph exceeds the amount determined under subparagraph a of the second paragraph is deemed to have been allowed to the taxpayer as depreciation in respect of property of that class under paragraph a of section 130 in computing the taxpayer’s income for taxation years ending before 1 January 2017; and

(d)  if no taxation year of the taxpayer ends immediately before 1 January 2017 and the taxpayer would have had a particular amount included, because of paragraph b of section 105, as it read before being repealed, in computing the taxpayer’s income from the business for the particular taxation year that includes that day if the particular year had ended immediately before that day,

i.  for the purposes of the formula in subparagraph a, 3/2 of the particular amount is to be included in computing the amount determined under subparagraph b of the first paragraph of section 107, as it read before being repealed,

ii.  the taxpayer is deemed to dispose of a capital property in respect of the business immediately before 1 January 2017 for proceeds of disposition equal to twice the particular amount,

iii.  if the taxpayer makes a valid election under subparagraph iii of paragraph d of subsection 38 of section 13 of the Income Tax Act, subparagraph ii does not apply and an amount equal to the particular amount is to be included in computing the taxpayer’s income from the business for the particular year,

iv.  if, after 31 December 2016 and in the particular year, the taxpayer acquires a property included in that Class 14.1 in respect of the business or is deemed under section 93.15 to acquire goodwill in respect of the business, and the taxpayer makes a valid election under subparagraph iv of paragraph d of subsection 38 of section 13 of the Income Tax Act,

(1)  for the purposes of subparagraphs ii and iii, the particular amount must be reduced by the lesser of the particular amount otherwise determined and 1/2 of the capital cost of the property or goodwill acquired (determined without reference to subparagraph 2), and

(2)  the capital cost of the property or goodwill acquired, as the case may be, must be reduced by twice the amount of the reduction under subparagraph 1, and

v.  if, in the part of the particular year preceding that day, the taxpayer disposed of a qualified farm or fishing property (as defined in subparagraph a.0.2 of the first paragraph of section 726.6) that was an incorporeal capital property of the taxpayer, the capital property disposed of by the taxpayer under subparagraph ii is deemed to be such a property to the extent of the lesser of

(1)  the proceeds of disposition of the capital property, and

(2)  the amount by which the proceeds of disposition of the qualified farm or fishing property exceed its cost.

In the formula in subparagraph a of the first paragraph,

(a)  A is the eligible incorporeal capital amount of the taxpayer in respect of the business at the beginning of 1 January 2017;

(b)  B is the excess amount determined under subparagraph a of the second paragraph of section 107, as it read before being repealed, in respect of the business at the beginning of 1 January 2017; and

(c)  C is the amount by which the amount determined under the second paragraph of section 107, as it read before being repealed, in respect of the business exceeds the aggregate of all amounts each of which is an amount determined under any of subparagraphs a to e of the first paragraph of that section in respect of the business at the beginning of 1 January 2017, with reference to any adjustment provided for in subparagraph i of subparagraph d of the first paragraph.

For the purposes of subparagraph i of subparagraph b of the first paragraph and subparagraphs iii and iv of subparagraph d of that paragraph, Chapter V.2 of Title II of Book I applies in relation to the order for determining the capital cost of a property in accordance with subparagraph i of paragraph b of subsection 38 of section 13 of the Income Tax Act and in relation to an election referred to in subparagraphs iii and iv of paragraph d of that subsection 38.

2019, c. 14, s. 74.

93.19.

(d)  if the particular property is goodwill, the amount by which the aggregate of all amounts each of which is the capital cost of a property deemed under this section to have been acquired by the taxpayer at or before the particular time in respect of another disposition of goodwill property in respect of the business is exceeded by the aggregate of all amounts each of which is

i.  1/4 of the amount determined under subparagraph iii of subparagraph b of the first paragraph of section 93.18 in respect of the business,

ii.  if goodwill is acquired after 31 December 2016 by the taxpayer and an amount is deemed to have been allowed as depreciation under section 93.20 in respect of the taxpayer’s acquisition of the goodwill under paragraph a of section 130, that amount, and

iii.  if goodwill is acquired (other than an acquisition in respect of which subparagraph ii applies) after 31 December 2016 by the taxpayer—in circumstances under which any of sections 189, 437, 460 to 462, 521 to 526, 528, 556 to 564.1, 565, 620 to 632, 688 and 692.8 apply—from a person or partnership that would have been deemed under this section to have acquired a property if none of those sections had applied, the capital cost of the property that would have been deemed under this section to have been acquired by the person or partnership; or

2019, c. 14, s. 74.

93.21. For the purposes of sections 93.18 to 93.20 and 93.22,  “incorporeal capital amount”  ,  “eligible incorporeal capital amount”  , “exempt gains balance” and “incorporeal capital property”  have the meaning assigned by sections 106, 107, 107.2 and 250, respectively, as they read before being repealed.

2019, c. 14, s. 74.

93.22. Where a taxpayer owns property included in Class 14.1 of Schedule B to the Regulation respecting the Taxation Act (chapter I-3, r. 1) in respect of a business at the beginning of the calendar year 2017 and the property was an incorporeal capital property in respect of the business immediately before 1 January 2017, the following rules apply:

(a)  for the purposes of this Part and its regulations (other than sections 93 to 104, 130 and 130.1 and any regulations made under paragraph a of section 130), if the amount determined under subparagraph a of the first paragraph of section 107, as it read before being repealed, would have been increased immediately before 1 January 2017 if the property had been disposed of immediately before that time, the capital cost of the property is deemed to be increased by 4/3 of the amount of that increase;

(b)  for the purposes of sections 93 to 104, 130 and 130.1 and any regulations made under paragraph a of section 130, where the taxpayer was deemed under subparagraphs a and b of the second paragraph of section 106.4, as it read before being repealed, to continue to own incorporeal capital property in respect of the business and not to have ceased to carry on the business until a time that is after 31 December 2016, the taxpayer is deemed to continue to own the incorporeal capital property and to continue to carry on the business until the time that is immediately before the time from among those described in subparagraphs i to v of subparagraph a of the second paragraph of that section 106.4 that would occur first if subparagraph ii of that subparagraph a were read as if “incorporeal capital property” were replaced by “incorporeal capital property or capital property”;

94. Where, at the end of a taxation year, the amount determined under the second paragraph of section 93 in respect of a taxpayer’s depreciable property of a prescribed class exceeds the aggregate of the amounts determined under subparagraphs i to ii.3 of subparagraph e of the first paragraph of that section in respect thereof, the excess shall be included in computing the taxpayer’s income for the year.

1972, c. 23, s. 83; 1975, c. 22, s. 10; 1977, c. 26, s. 10; 1982, c. 5, s. 28; 1990, c. 59, s. 52; 2001, c. 53, s. 31.

94.1.

However, the excess referred to in the first paragraph is deemed, for the purposes of subparagraph ii of subparagraph e of the first paragraph of section 93, to be an amount included in computing the taxpayer’s income for the year under sections 93 to 104.

1990, c. 59, s. 53; 2001, c. 53, s. 260; 2023, c. 2, s. 4.

95. Where a taxpayer is an individual and his income for a taxation year includes income from a business the fiscal period of which does not coincide with the calendar year, and the taxpayer has disposed of depreciable property acquired for the purpose of gaining or producing income from the business,

(a)  each reference in sections 94, 94.1 and 130.1 to “year” and “taxation year” shall read as a reference to “fiscal period”, except so far as the said sections apply to a disposition by a taxpayer, after ceasing to operate a business, of depreciable property of a prescribed class he had acquired to gain income from the business and had subsequently used for no other purpose; and

(b)  the expression “the taxpayer’s income”, in section 94, means “the taxpayer’s income from the business”.

1972, c. 23, s. 85; 1977, c. 26, s. 12; 1978, c. 26, s. 16; 1991, c. 25, s. 40.

96. (1)  Subsection 2 applies where an amount in respect of the disposition in a taxation year of depreciable property of a prescribed class of a taxpayer, in this section and section 96.0.2 referred to as the “former property”, would, but for this section, be the amount determined under subparagraph c or d of the second paragraph of section 93 in respect of the disposition of the former property that is either

(a)  property the proceeds of disposition of which were compensation or an amount described in subparagraph ii, iii or iv of subparagraph f of the first paragraph of section 93; or

(b)  a property that was, immediately before the disposition, a former business property of the taxpayer.

(2)  If the taxpayer acquires, in a taxation year, a depreciable property of a prescribed class of the taxpayer that is a replacement property for a former property of the taxpayer and the taxpayer makes a valid election under subsection 4 of section 13 of the Income Tax Act (R.S.C. 1985, c. 1 (5th Suppl.)) after 19 December 2006 in respect of the former property or, if section 96.0.1 applies, the taxpayer so elects in the taxpayer’s fiscal return filed in accordance with section 1000 for the taxation year, the following rules apply:

(a)  the amount determined under subparagraph c or d of the second paragraph of section 93, in respect of the disposition of the former property, must be reduced by the lesser of the amount by which the amount otherwise determined under that subparagraph c or d, in respect of that disposition, exceeds the undepreciated capital cost to the taxpayer of property of the prescribed class to which the former property belonged at the time immediately before the time that the former property was disposed of, and the amount that has been used by the taxpayer to acquire, in the case of a former property referred to in paragraph a of subsection 1, before the end of the second taxation year following the year referred to in subsection 1 or, if it is later, before the end of the 24-month period following the year referred to in subsection 1, or, in any other case, before the end of the first taxation year following the year referred to in subsection 1 or, if it is later, before the end of the 12-month period following the year referred to in subsection 1, a replacement property that has not been disposed of by the taxpayer before the time at which the taxpayer disposed of the former property; and

(b)  the amount of the reduction determined under paragraph a is deemed to be proceeds of disposition of a depreciable property of the taxpayer that had a capital cost equal to that amount and that was property of the same class as the replacement property, from a disposition made on the day on which the replacement property was acquired by the taxpayer or, if it is later, on the day on which the former property was disposed of by the taxpayer.

(3)  For the purposes of this section, a depreciable property of a prescribed class of a taxpayer is a replacement property for the taxpayer’s former property where

(a)  it is reasonable to conclude that the property was acquired by the taxpayer to replace the former property;

(a.1)  it was acquired by the taxpayer and used by the taxpayer or a person related to the taxpayer for a use that is the same as or similar to the use to which the taxpayer or a person related to the taxpayer put the former property;

(b)  where the former property was used by the taxpayer or a person related to the taxpayer for the purpose of gaining or producing income from a business, the property was acquired by the taxpayer either for the purpose of gaining or producing income from that or a similar business or for use by a person related to the taxpayer for such a purpose;

(c)  where the former property was a taxable Canadian property of the taxpayer, the property is a taxable Canadian property of the taxpayer; and

(d)  where the former property was a taxable Canadian property, other than tax-agreement-protected property, of the taxpayer, the property is a taxable Canadian property, other than tax-agreement-protected property, of the taxpayer.

(4)  Chapter V.2 of Title II of Book I applies in relation to an election made under subsection 4 of section 13 of the Income Tax Act or in relation to an election made under this section before 20 December 2006 but otherwise than as a consequence of the application of section 96.0.1.

1972, c. 23, s. 86; 1975, c. 22, s. 11; 1977, c. 26, s. 13; 1978, c. 26, s. 17; 1993, c. 16, s. 57; 1994, c. 22, s. 72; 2001, c. 7, s. 16; 2001, c. 53, s. 32; 2009, c. 5, s. 53; 2009, c. 15, s. 51.

96.0.1. For the purposes of paragraph a of subsection 2 of section 96, if a taxpayer acquires a replacement property after the end of the period provided for in that paragraph a for the acquisition, and, in the Minister’s opinion, the taxpayer was unable to acquire the replacement property before the end of the period because of the specific nature of the former property referred to in section 96, the taxpayer is deemed to have acquired the replacement property before the end of the period.

2002, c. 40, s. 20; 2009, c. 15, s. 52.

96.0.2. The rules set out in the second paragraph apply if

(a)  a taxpayer (in this section referred to as the “transferor”) has, pursuant to a written agreement with a person or partnership (in this section referred to as the “transferee”), disposed of or terminated a former property that is a franchise, concession or licence for a limited period that is wholly attributable to the carrying on of a business at a fixed place;

(b)  the transferee acquired the former property from the transferor or, on the termination, acquired a similar property in respect of the same fixed place from another person or partnership; and

(c)  the transferor and the transferee make a valid election under paragraph c of subsection 4.2 of section 13 of the Income Tax Act (R.S.C. 1985, c. 1 (5th Suppl.)) after 19 December 2006 in respect of the acquisition and the disposition or termination.

The rules to which the first paragraph refers in respect of an acquisition and a disposition or termination are as follows:

(a)  if the transferee acquires a similar property referred to in subparagraph b of the first paragraph, the transferee is deemed to have also acquired the former property at the time that the former property was terminated and to own the former property until the transferee no longer owns the similar property;

(b)  if the transferee acquires the former property referred to in subparagraph b of the first paragraph, the transferee is deemed to own the former property until such time as the transferee owns neither the former property nor a similar property in respect of the same fixed place to which the former property related;

(c)  for the purpose of calculating the amount deductible under paragraph a of section 130 in respect of the former property in computing the transferee’s income, the useful life of the former property remaining on its acquisition by the transferee is deemed to be equal to the period that was the useful life of the former property remaining on its acquisition by the transferor; and

(d)  any amount that would, but for this paragraph, be included in the cost of a property of the transferor included in Class 14.1 of Schedule B to the Regulation respecting the Taxation Act (chapter I-3, r. 1) (including a deemed acquisition under section 93.15) or included in the proceeds of disposition of a property of the transferee included in that class (including a deemed disposition under section 93.17) in respect of the disposition or termination of the former property by the transferor is deemed to be

i.  neither included in the cost nor in the proceeds of disposition of property included in that class,

ii.  an amount required to be included in computing the capital cost to the transferee of the former property, and

iii.  an amount required to be included in computing the proceeds of disposition to the transferor in respect of a disposition of the former property.

Chapter V.2 of Title II of Book I applies in relation to an election made under paragraph c of subsection 4.2 of section 13 of the Income Tax Act or in relation to an election made under this section before 20 December 2006.

(a)  for the purposes of subparagraph i of subparagraph e of the first paragraph of section 93, each of those depreciable properties is deemed to be property of the new class acquired before the subsequent time and never to have been included in the old class; and

(b)  the taxpayer shall deduct in computing the total depreciation allowed to the taxpayer before the subsequent time in respect of property of the old class, and add in computing the total depreciation allowed to the taxpayer before the subsequent time in respect of property of the new class, an amount equal to the greater of

i.  the amount by which the aggregate of all amounts each of which is the capital cost to the taxpayer of each of those depreciable properties exceeds the undepreciated capital cost to the taxpayer of depreciable property of the old class at the transfer time, and

ii.  the aggregate of all amounts each of which is an amount that would have been deducted under paragraph a of section 130 in respect of a depreciable property that is one of those depreciable properties in computing the taxpayer’s income for a taxation year that ended before the transfer time and at the end of which the property was included in the old class, had the property been the only property included in a separate prescribed class and had the rate prescribed by the regulations made under that paragraph a in respect of that separate prescribed class been the effective rate that was used by the taxpayer to determine the amounts deducted by the taxpayer under that paragraph a in respect of property of the old class for the year.

1972, c. 23, s. 87; 1975, c. 22, s. 12; 1990, c. 59, s. 54; 1998, c. 16, s. 85; 2001, c. 53, s. 260.

(a)  the leasehold interest is deemed to have been disposed of by the taxpayer at that time for proceeds of disposition equal to the amount by which the capital cost of the leasehold interest, immediately before that time, exceeds the aggregate of all amounts claimed by the taxpayer in respect of the leasehold interest that were deductible under paragraph a of section 130 in computing his income for previous taxation years;

(b)  the property is deemed to be depreciable property of a prescribed class of the taxpayer acquired by him at that time and the taxpayer shall add to the capital cost of that property an amount equal to the capital cost referred to in paragraph a; and

(c)  the taxpayer shall add the aggregate referred to in paragraph a to the total depreciation allowed to the taxpayer before that time in respect of the class to which that property belongs.

1978, c. 26, s. 18; 2005, c. 23, s. 39.

97.2. Where, at any time, a taxpayer acquires a capital property that is depreciable property or immovable property in respect of which, before that time, the taxpayer or any person with whom he was not dealing at arm’s length was entitled to a deduction in computing his income in respect of any amount paid or payable for the use of, or the right to use, the property and the cost or the capital cost, determined without reference to this section, at that time of the property to the taxpayer is less than the fair market value thereof at that time determined without reference to any option with respect to that property, for the purposes of this division, sections 130, 130.1, 142 and 149 and any regulations made under paragraph a of section 130 or under section 130.1, the following rules apply:

(c)  where property has, since it was acquired by a taxpayer, been regularly used in part to gain income and in part for some other purpose, the proportion of the property acquired by the taxpayer to gain such income, the proportion of its capital cost and the proportion of the proceeds of disposition of such property, as the case may be, are deemed to be the same as the proportion that its use to gain income is of its whole use;

(d)  where there has been a change in the relation between the proportion of the use made of the property to gain income and the proportion of the use made of it for some other purpose, the following rules apply:

i.  where the proportion of the use made of the property to gain income has increased at a particular time, the taxpayer is deemed to have acquired at that time depreciable property of that class at a capital cost equal to the aggregate of the proportion of the lesser of its fair market value at that time, and its cost to the taxpayer at that time determined without reference to this subparagraph, subparagraph ii and paragraph a that the amount of the increase in the use regularly made by the taxpayer of the property to gain income is of the whole of the use regularly made of the property, and, subject to section 99.1, 1/2 of the amount by which the amount deemed under section 283 to be the taxpayer’s proceeds of disposition of the property in respect of the change in the use made of the property exceeds the aggregate of that proportion of the cost to the taxpayer of the property at that time determined without reference to this subparagraph, subparagraph ii and paragraph a, that the amount of the increase in the use regularly made by the taxpayer of the property to gain income is of the whole of the use regularly made of the property, and, subject to section 99.1, twice the amount deducted by the taxpayer under Title VI.5 of Book IV in respect of the amount by which the amount deemed under section 283 to be the taxpayer’s proceeds of disposition of the property in respect of the change in the use made of the property exceeds that proportion of the cost to the taxpayer of the property at that time determined without reference to this subparagraph, subparagraph ii and paragraph a that the amount of the increase in the use regularly made by the taxpayer of the property to gain income is of the whole of the use regularly made of the property;

i.  the capital cost to the taxpayer of the property at the time of the disposition, and

ii.  subject to section 99.1, 1/2 of the amount by which the taxpayer’s proceeds of disposition of the property exceed the capital cost to the taxpayer of the property at the time of the disposition;

i.  the fair market value of the passenger vehicle at that time,

ii.  the amount that immediately before that time was the cost amount to that person of the passenger vehicle minus, as the case may be, the amount deducted by that person under paragraph a of section 130 in respect of the passenger vehicle in computing income for that person’s taxation year in which that person disposed of the passenger vehicle, and

iii.  $20,000 or such other amount as may be prescribed for the purposes of paragraph d.3;

i.  the reduction of the paid-up capital of the corporation,

ii.  the acquisition, cancellation or redemption by the corporation of shares of its capital stock,

iii.  the winding-up, discontinuance or reorganization of the corporation’s business, or

iv.  a transaction to which Chapter VII or VIII of Title IX applies,

(a.1)  where the corporation is not resident in Canada at the time referred to in section 111:

i.  a distribution to which section 578.4 applies,

127.2. For the purposes of this division, the following rules apply in determining whether persons are related to each other and whether a corporation not resident in Canada is a controlled foreign affiliate of a corporation resident in Canada at any time:

(a)  each member of a partnership is deemed to own that proportion of the number of shares of a class of the capital stock of a corporation that are owned by the partnership at that time that the fair market value at that time of the member’s interest in the partnership is of the fair market value at that time of the interests of all members in the partnership; and

(b)  each beneficiary of a non-discretionary trust is deemed to own that proportion of the number of shares of a class of the capital stock of a corporation that are owned by the trust at that time that the fair market value at that time of the beneficiary’s beneficial interest in the trust is of the fair market value at that time of all the beneficial interests in the trust.

2001, c. 53, s. 41.

127.3. For the purposes of this division, in determining whether persons are related to each other at any time, each settlor in respect of a trust, other than a non-discretionary trust, is deemed to own the shares of a class of the capital stock of a corporation owned by the trust at that time.

2001, c. 53, s. 41.

127.3.1. For the purposes of this division, in determining whether persons are related to each other at any time, any rights referred to in paragraph b of section 20 that exist at that time are deemed not to exist at that time to the extent that the exercise of those rights is prohibited at that time under a law of the country under the jurisdiction of which the corporation was formed or last continued and is governed, that restricts the foreign ownership or control of the corporation.

2004, c. 8, s. 23.

127.3.2. For the purposes of section 127.7 and paragraph b of section 127.8, where an intermediate lender makes a loan to an intended borrower, and that loan arises out of another loan which the intermediate lender received from an initial lender, the following rules apply:

(b)  the loan made by the initial lender to the intermediate lender and the loan made by the intermediate lender to the intended borrower are deemed not to have been made to the extent of the amount of the loan deemed to have been made under subparagraph a.

For the purposes of the first paragraph, the expressions “intermediate lender”, “intended borrower” and “initial lender” refer to a person not resident in Canada or a partnership each member of which is not resident in Canada.

2004, c. 8, s. 23.

127.3.3. For the purpose of applying paragraph b of section 127.8 in respect of a corporation resident in Canada, in determining whether persons described in subparagraph i of that paragraph b are related to each other at any time, any rights referred to in paragraph b of section 20 that otherwise exist at that time are deemed not to exist at that time where, if the rights were exercised immediately before that time,

(a)  all of those persons would at that time be controlled foreign affiliates of the corporation resident in Canada; and

(b)  because of section 127.13, section 127.6 would not apply to the corporation in respect of the amount that would, but for this section, have been deemed to have been owing at that time to the corporation by the person not resident in Canada described in subparagraph i of paragraph b of section 127.8.

2004, c. 8, s. 23.

127.4. For the purposes of this division, in determining whether a person who is not resident in Canada is a controlled foreign affiliate of a corporation resident in Canada at any time, each settlor in respect of a trust, other than a non-discretionary trust, is deemed to own that proportion of the number of shares of a class of the capital stock of a corporation owned by the trust at that time that one is of the number of settlors in respect of the trust at that time.

2001, c. 53, s. 41.

127.5. For the purposes of this division, where, at any time, two corporations resident in Canada are related, otherwise than because of a right referred to in paragraph b of section 20, any corporation that is a controlled foreign affiliate of one of the corporations at that time is deemed to be a controlled foreign affiliate of the other corporation at that time.

2001, c. 53, s. 41.

127.6. Where the conditions of the third paragraph are met in respect of a corporation resident in Canada in relation to an amount owing to the corporation (in this section referred to as the “debt”), the corporation shall include in computing its income for a taxation year the amount determined by the formula

A – B.

In the formula in the first paragraph,

(a)  A is the amount of interest that would be included in computing the corporation’s income for the year in respect of the debt if interest on the debt were computed at the prescribed rate for the period in the year during which the debt was outstanding; and

(b)  B is the aggregate of all amounts each of which is

i.  an amount included in computing the corporation’s income for the year as, on account of, in lieu of or in satisfaction of, interest in respect of the debt,

ii.  an amount received or receivable by the corporation from a trust that is included in computing the corporation’s income for the year or a subsequent year and that can reasonably be attributed to interest on the debt for the period in the year during which the debt was outstanding, or

iii.  an amount included in computing the corporation’s income for the year or a subsequent taxation year under section 580 that can reasonably be attributed to interest on an amount owing (in this section referred to as the “original debt”)—or if the amount of the original debt exceeds the amount of the debt, a portion of the original debt that is equal to the amount of the debt—for the period in the year during which the debt was outstanding if

(1)  without the existence of the original debt, section 127.7 would not have deemed the debt to be owed by a person not resident in Canada and referred to in subparagraph a of the third paragraph,

(2)  the original debt was owed by a person not resident in Canada or a partnership each member of which is such a person, and

(3)  where section 127.3.2 applies in respect of the original debt, an amount determined under subparagraph a or b of the first paragraph of that section in respect of the original debt is an amount referred to in paragraph a of section 127.7 and, because of the amount referred to in that paragraph a, the debt is deemed to be owed by the person not resident in Canada and referred to in subparagraph a of the third paragraph, and the original debt was owing by an intermediate lender to an initial lender or by an intended borrower to an intermediate lender, within the meaning assigned to those expressions by the second paragraph of section 127.3.2.

The conditions to which the first paragraph refers in relation to a debt contracted with a corporation resident in Canada are met if at any time in a taxation year of the corporation,

(a)  a person not resident in Canada owes the amount to the corporation;

(b)  the amount has been or remains outstanding for more than a year; and

(c)  the amount that would be determined under subparagraph b of the second paragraph, if the first and second paragraphs of this section applied, for the year in respect of a debt is less than the amount of interest that would be included in computing the corporation’s income for the year in respect of the debt if that interest were computed at a reasonable rate for the period in the year during which the amount was outstanding.

2001, c. 53, s. 41; 2017, c. 1, s. 91.

127.7. For the purposes of this division and subject to section 127.8, a person not resident in Canada is deemed at any time to owe to a corporation resident in Canada an amount equal to the amount, or a portion of the amount, as the case may be, owing to a particular person or partnership where

(a)  the person not resident in Canada owes an amount at that time to the particular person or partnership, other than a corporation resident in Canada; and

(b)  it may reasonably be considered that the amount or a portion of the amount became owing, or was permitted to remain owing, to the particular person or partnership because a corporation resident in Canada made a loan or transfer of property, or the particular person or partnership anticipated that a corporation resident in Canada would make a loan or transfer of property, either directly or indirectly in any manner whatever, to or for the benefit of any person or partnership (other than an exempt loan or transfer).

2001, c. 53, s. 41; 2017, c. 1, s. 92.

127.8. Section 127.7 does not apply to an amount owing at any time by a person not resident in Canada to a particular person or partnership where

(a)  at that time, the person not resident in Canada and the particular person or each member of the particular partnership, as the case may be, are controlled foreign affiliates of the corporation resident in Canada; or

(b)  at that time,

i.  the person not resident in Canada and the particular person are not related or the person not resident in Canada and each member of the particular partnership are not related, as the case may be,

ii.  the terms and conditions made or imposed in respect of the amount owing, determined without reference to any loan or transfer of property by a corporation resident in Canada described in paragraph b of section 127.7 in respect of the amount owing, are such that persons dealing at arm’s length would have been willing to enter into them at the time that they were entered into, and

iii.  if there were an amount of interest payable on the amount owing at that time that would be required to be included in computing the income of a foreign affiliate of the corporation resident in Canada for a taxation year, that amount of interest would not be required to be included in computing the foreign accrual property income, within the meaning of section 579, of the foreign affiliate for that year.

2001, c. 53, s. 41.

127.9. For the purposes of this division, where a person not resident in Canada owes a particular amount at any time to a partnership and section 127.7 does not deem the person not resident in Canada to owe an amount equal to that particular amount to a corporation resident in Canada, the person not resident in Canada is deemed to owe at that time to each member of the partnership, on the same terms and conditions as those that apply in respect of the amount owing to the partnership, that proportion of the amount owing to the partnership at that time that the fair market value at that time of the member’s interest in the partnership is of the fair market value at that time of the interests of all members in the partnership.

2001, c. 53, s. 41.

127.10. For the purposes of this division, where a person not resident in Canada owes a particular amount at any time to a trust and section 127.7 does not deem that person to owe an amount equal to that particular amount to a corporation resident in Canada, the following rules apply:

(a)  where the trust is a non-discretionary trust at that time, the person not resident in Canada is deemed to owe at that time to each beneficiary of the trust, on the same terms and conditions as those that apply in respect of the amount owing to the trust, an amount equal to that proportion of the amount owing to the trust at that time that the fair market value at that time of the beneficiary’s beneficial interest in the trust is of the fair market value at that time of all the beneficial interests in the trust; and

(b)  in any other case, the person not resident in Canada is deemed to owe at that time to each settlor in respect of the trust, on the same terms and conditions as those that apply in respect of the amount owing to the trust, an amount equal to the amount owing to the trust.

2001, c. 53, s. 41.

127.11. For the purposes of this division, where a particular partnership owes an amount at any time to any person or any other partnership, in this section referred to as the “lender”, each member of the particular partnership is deemed to owe at that time to the lender, on the same terms and conditions as those that apply in respect of the amount owing by the particular partnership to the lender, an amount equal to that proportion of the amount owing to the lender at that time that the fair market value at that time of the member’s interest in the particular partnership is of the fair market value at that time of the interests of all members in the particular partnership.

2001, c. 53, s. 41.

127.12. Section 127.6 does not apply to an amount owing to a corporation resident in Canada by a person not resident in Canada if a prescribed tax has been paid on the amount owing.

For the purposes of this section, a prescribed tax is deemed not to have been paid on that portion of the amount owing in respect of which an amount was repaid or applied in accordance with subsection 6.1 of section 227 of the Income Tax Act (Revised Statutes of Canada, 1985, chapter 1, 5th Supplement).

2001, c. 53, s. 41.

127.13. Section 127.6 does not apply to a corporation resident in Canada for a taxation year of the corporation in respect of an amount owing to the corporation by a person not resident in Canada if that person is a controlled foreign affiliate of the corporation throughout the period in the year during which the amount is owing to the extent that it is established that the amount owing

(a)  arose as a loan or advance of money to the affiliate that the affiliate has used, throughout the period that began when the loan or advance was made and that ended at the earlier of the end of the year and the time at which the amount was repaid,

i.  for the purpose of earning income from an active business of the affiliate or income that was included under subsection 2 of section 95 of the Income Tax Act (R.S.C. 1985, c. 1, (5th Suppl.)) in computing the income from an active business of the affiliate, or

ii.  for the purpose of making a loan or advance to another controlled foreign affiliate of the corporation where, if interest became payable on the loan or advance at any time in the period and the affiliate was required to include the interest in computing its income for a taxation year, that interest would not be required to be included in computing the affiliate’s foreign accrual property income, within the meaning of section 579, for that year; or

(b)  arose in the course of an active business carried on by the affiliate throughout the period that began when the amount owing arose and that ended at the earlier of the end of the year and the time at which the amount was repaid.

2001, c. 53, s. 41; 2010, c. 25, s. 14.

127.13.1. The presumption in the second paragraph applies in respect of money (in this section referred to as “new borrowings”) that a controlled foreign affiliate of a particular corporation resident in Canada has borrowed from the particular corporation to the extent that the affiliate has used the new borrowings

(a)  to repay money (in this section referred to as “previous borrowings”) previously borrowed from any person or partnership, if

i.  the previous borrowings became owing after the last time at which the affiliate became a controlled foreign affiliate of the particular corporation, and

ii.  the previous borrowings were, at all times after they became owing, used for any of the purposes described in subparagraphs i and ii of paragraph a of section 127.13; or

(b)  to pay an amount owing (in this section referred to as the “unpaid purchase price”) by the affiliate for a property previously acquired from any person or partnership, if

i.  the property was acquired, and the unpaid purchase price became owing, by the affiliate after the last time at which it became a controlled foreign affiliate of the particular corporation,

ii.  the unpaid purchase price is in respect of the property, and

iii.  throughout the period that began when the unpaid purchase price became owing by the affiliate and ended when the unpaid purchase price was so paid, the property was used principally to earn income described in subparagraph i of paragraph a of section 127.13.

For the purposes of section 127.13, the new borrowings are deemed to have been used for the purposes for which the previous borrowings were used or were deemed by this paragraph to have been used, or to acquire the property in respect of which the unpaid purchase price was payable, as the case may be.

2010, c. 25, s. 15.

127.14. Section 127.6 does not apply to a corporation resident in Canada for a taxation year of the corporation in respect of an amount owing to the corporation by a person not resident in Canada if

(a)  the corporation is not related to the person not resident in Canada throughout the period in the year during which the amount owing remains outstanding;

(b)  the amount owing arose in respect of goods sold or services provided to the person not resident in Canada by the corporation in the ordinary course of the business carried on by the corporation; and

(c)  the terms and conditions in respect of the amount owing are such that persons dealing at arm’s length would have been willing to enter into them at the time that they were entered into.

2001, c. 53, s. 41.

127.15. For the purposes of this division,

(a)  where any person or partnership has a right under a contract or otherwise, either immediately or in the future and either absolutely or contingently, to, or to acquire, shares of the capital stock of a corporation, that person or partnership is deemed to own those shares if it can reasonably be considered that the principal purpose for the existence of the right is to avoid or reduce the amount of income that a corporation would otherwise be required to include in computing its income for a taxation year under section 127.6; and

(b)  where any person or partnership acquires or disposes of shares of the capital stock of a corporation, either directly or indirectly, and it can reasonably be considered that the principal purpose for the acquisition or disposition of the shares is to avoid or reduce the amount of income that a corporation would otherwise be required to include in computing its income for a taxation year under section 127.6, those shares are deemed not to have been acquired or disposed of, as the case may be, and where the shares were unissued by the corporation immediately before the acquisition, those shares are deemed not to have been issued.

2001, c. 53, s. 41.

(a)  any transaction entered into, or event participated in, by a partnership is deemed to have been entered into, or participated in, as the case may be, by each member of the partnership in the proportion that the fair market value, at the time of the transaction or event, of the member’s interest—held directly or indirectly through one or more other partnerships—in the partnership is of the fair market value, at that time, of the interests in the partnership held directly by all the members of the partnership;

(b)  a property that, based on the assumptions contained in paragraph c of section 600, would be owned at a particular time by a partnership, is deemed to be owned at the particular time by each member of the partnership in the proportion that the fair market value, at the particular time, of the member’s interest—held directly or indirectly through one or more other partnerships—in the partnership is of the fair market value, at that time, of the interests in the partnership held directly by all the members of the partnership;

(c)  where the portion of a property that is deemed under paragraph b to be owned by a member of a partnership increases at a particular time (with the understanding that such an increase includes that resulting from the acquisition of an interest in a partnership in which, immediately prior to the acquisition, the member did not have an interest), the member is deemed at the particular time to acquire the additional portion of the property;

(d)  an amount that, based on the assumptions contained in paragraph c of section 600, would be owing by a partnership at a particular time is deemed to be owed by each member of the partnership in the proportion that the fair market value, at the particular time, of the member’s interest—held directly or indirectly through one or more other partnerships—in the partnership is of the fair market value, at that time, of the interests in the partnership held directly by all the members of the partnership; and

(e)  if a member of a partnership enters into a transaction, or participates in an event, with the partnership, paragraph a does not apply in respect of the transaction or event to the extent that the transaction or event would be deemed, under paragraph a if this section were read without reference to this paragraph, to have been entered into, or participated in, as the case may be, by the member.

127.16.2. For the purposes of this division in respect of a pertinent loan or indebtedness, within the meaning of subparagraph ii of subparagraph a of the second paragraph of section 127.16, and for the purpose of determining, for the purposes of this division, whether two persons are related to each other and consequently, under paragraph a of section 18, do not deal with each other at arm’s length, the following rules apply:

(a)  for the purpose of determining, at any time, whether two persons are related to each other or whether any person is controlled by any other person or group of persons, the following presumptions apply:

i.  each trust is deemed to be a corporation having a capital stock of a single class of voting shares divided into 100 issued shares, and

ii.  each beneficiary under a trust is deemed to own at that time a number of issued shares of that class of shares equal to the proportion of 100 that the fair market value at that time of the beneficiary’s interest in the trust is of the fair market value at that time of all beneficiaries’ interests in the trust;

(b)  for the purpose of determining, at any time, the extent to which any person owns shares of the capital stock of a corporation, if at that time a trust resident in Canada owns, but for this subparagraph, shares of the capital stock of the corporation, each beneficiary of the trust is deemed to own, and the trust is deemed not to own, at that time, the shares of each class of the capital stock of the corporation that are owned, but for this subparagraph, by the trust, the number of which is equal to the proportion of the total number of shares of the class of the capital stock of the corporation that are owned, but for this subparagraph, by the trust at that time that the fair market value, at that time, of the beneficiary’s interest in the trust is of the fair market value, at that time, of all beneficiaries’ interests in the trust; and

(c)  where a beneficiary’s share of the income or capital of a trust depends on the exercise by any person of, or the failure by any person to exercise, a power to appoint, the proportion to which subparagraph ii of subparagraph a and subparagraph b refer is deemed to be equal to 1, unless

i.  the trust is resident in Canada, and

ii.  it cannot reasonably be considered that one of the main purposes of the power to appoint is to avoid or limit the application of paragraph c.3 of subsection 1 of section 128.1 of the Income Tax Act (R.S.C. 1985, c. 1 (5th Suppl.)) or of subsection 2 of sections 212.3 and 219.1 of that Act.

2021, c. 36, s. 56.

127.17. Where, at any time in a taxation year of a Canadian corporation or in a fiscal period of a qualifying Canadian partnership in respect of a Canadian corporation, a corporation not resident in Canada, or a partnership of which a corporation not resident in Canada is a member, owes an amount to the Canadian corporation or the qualifying Canadian partnership, as the case may be, and the amount owing is a pertinent loan or indebtedness, the following rules apply:

(a)  Division VII does not apply in respect of the amount owing; and

(b)  subject to section 127.18, the amount, if any, determined by the following formula is to be included in computing the income of the Canadian corporation for the year or of the qualifying Canadian partnership for the fiscal period, as the case may be:

A − B.

In the formula in the first paragraph,

(a)  A is the amount that is the greater of

i.  the amount of interest that should be included in computing the income of the Canadian corporation for the year or of the qualifying Canadian partnership for the fiscal period, as the case may be, in respect of the amount owing for the period in the year, or the fiscal period, during which the amount owing was a pertinent loan or indebtedness (in this paragraph referred to as the “particular period”) if that interest were computed at the prescribed rate for that period, and

ii.  the aggregate of all amounts of interest payable for the particular period by the Canadian corporation, the qualifying Canadian partnership, a particular person resident in Canada with which the Canadian corporation did not, at the time the amount owing arose, deal at arm’s length or a partnership of which the Canadian corporation or the particular person is a member, in respect of a debt obligation—arisen as part of a series of transactions or events that includes the transaction by which the amount owing arose—to the extent that the proceeds of the debt obligation may reasonably be considered to have directly or indirectly funded, in whole or in part, the amount owing; and

(b)  B is an amount included in computing the income of the Canadian corporation for the year or of the qualifying Canadian partnership for the fiscal period, as the case may be, as, or in lieu of, full or partial payment of interest on the amount owing for the particular period.

2017, c. 29, s. 37.

127.18. No amount is to be included under section 127.17 in computing the income of a Canadian corporation in respect of a pertinent loan or indebtedness, within the meaning of subparagraph ii of subparagraph a of the second paragraph of section 127.16, for the 180-day period that begins at any time a parent or group of parents referred to in section 212.3 of the Income Tax Act (R.S.C. 1985, c. 1 (5th Suppl.)) acquires control of the Canadian corporation, if the Canadian corporation was not controlled by a person not resident in Canada, or a group of persons not resident in Canada and not dealing with each other at arm’s length, immediately before that time.

2017, c. 29, s. 37; 2021, c. 36, s. 57.

127.19. A particular loan or indebtedness is deemed not to be a pertinent loan or indebtedness if, because of a provision of a tax agreement, the amount that would, but for this section, be included in computing the income of the Canadian corporation for any taxation year or of the qualifying Canadian partnership for any fiscal period, as the case may be, in respect of the particular loan or indebtedness is less than it would be if no tax agreement applied.

2017, c. 29, s. 37.

2015, c. 21, s. 125; 2015, c. 24, s. 29; 2017, c. 29, s. 42.

156.12. For the purposes of the definition of “additional deduction rate” in section 156.11, a manufacturing corporation for a taxation year may determine the part of its cost of manufacturing and processing capital for the year attributable to goods it uses in a particular area by adding to it the portion of the corporation’s cost of manufacturing and processing capital for the year attributable to goods it uses in another area for which a higher additional deduction rate for the year is provided.

2015, c. 21, s. 125.

156.13. Despite the definition of “additional deduction rate” in section 156.11, the additional deduction rate applicable to a manufacturing corporation for a taxation year is, for the year, equal to the rate determined by the formula

A × [(B - 25%)/25%].

In the formula in the first paragraph,

(a)  A is the additional deduction rate applicable to the manufacturing corporation for the year, determined without reference to this section; and

(b)  B is the lesser of 50% and the proportion of the manufacturing or processing activities of the manufacturing corporation for the year.

For the taxation year of a manufacturing corporation that ends after 4 June 2014 and that includes that date, the additional deduction rate applicable to the corporation for the year is equal to the rate of the deduction, determined for the year with reference to the first and second paragraphs, multiplied by the proportion that the number of days in the year that follow 4 June 2014 is of the number of days in the year.

2015, c. 21, s. 125.

156.14. Subject to section 156.15, a manufacturing corporation for a taxation year may deduct, in computing its income from a business for the year, an amount equal to

(a)  the amount obtained by multiplying its gross revenue for the year by the additional deduction rate applicable to it for the year, if 10% is the additional deduction rate that would be applicable to it for the year in the absence of section 156.13; or

(b)  in any other case, the lesser of

i.  the amount obtained by multiplying its gross revenue for the year by the additional deduction rate applicable to it for the year, and

ii.  the regional limit that is applicable to it for the year.

In this section and in section 156.14.1, “regional limit” applicable to a manufacturing corporation for a taxation year means

(a)  $50,000, if 1% is the additional deduction rate that would be applicable to the corporation for the year in the absence of section 156.13;

(b)  $150,000, if 3% is the additional deduction rate that would be applicable to the corporation for the year in the absence of section 156.13; or

(c)  $350,000, if 5% is the additional deduction rate that would be applicable to the corporation for the year in the absence of section 156.13.

For the purposes of the definition of “regional limit” in the second paragraph, if the number of days in the manufacturing corporation’s taxation year is less than 365, the amount of $50,000, $150,000 or $350,000, as the case may be, is to be replaced by the proportion of that amount that the number of days in the year is of 365.

2015, c. 21, s. 125; 2015, c. 24, s. 30; 2017, c. 29, s. 43.

156.14.1. For the purposes of section 156.14, if a manufacturing corporation for a taxation year to which a regional limit is applicable for the year is associated in the year with one or more other manufacturing corporations for the year to which a regional limit is applicable for the year, the regional limit that is applicable to each of those corporations for the year is equal to zero, unless all of those corporations file with the Minister in the prescribed form containing prescribed information an agreement whereby, for the purposes of this division, they allocate a particular percentage to one or more of them, in which case the following rules apply:

(a)  where the percentage or the aggregate of the percentages so allocated, as the case may be, does not exceed 100%, the regional limit applicable to each of those corporations for the year is deemed to be equal to the product obtained by multiplying the amount corresponding to the regional limit that is applicable to it for the year, determined without reference to this section, by the percentage so allocated to it; and

(b)  in any other case, the regional limit applicable to the corporation for the year is deemed to be equal to zero.

If one of the corporations fails to file with the Minister the agreement within 30 days after notice in writing by the Minister has been sent to any of them that such an agreement is required for the purposes of any assessment of tax under this Part, the Minister shall, for the purposes of this division, allocate a percentage to one or more of those corporations for the taxation year, which percentage or the aggregate of which percentages, as the case may be, is to be equal to 100% and, in such a case, the regional limit that is applicable to each of those corporations for the year is deemed to be equal to the product obtained by multiplying the amount corresponding to the regional limit applicable to it for the year, determined without reference to this section, by the percentage so allocated to it by the Minister.

2015, c. 24, s. 31.

156.14.2. Subject to section 156.15, a qualified corporation for a taxation year that does not deduct any amount under section 156.14 for the year may deduct, in computing its income from a business for the year, an amount equal to the amount obtained by multiplying its gross revenue for the year by the additional deduction rate applicable to it for the year.

2017, c. 29, s. 44.

156.15. Despite sections 156.14 and 156.14.2, the amount of the deduction to which a corporation is entitled under each of those sections is equal, for a taxation year that ends in a calendar year, to the amount by which the amount of the deduction, determined without reference to this section, exceeds the amount determined by the formula

A × [(B − $10,000,000)/$40,000,000].

In the formula in the first paragraph,

(a)  A is the amount of the deduction to which the corporation is entitled for the taxation year under section 156.14 or 156.14.2, as the case may be, determined without reference to this section; and

(b)  B is,

i.  if the corporation is not associated with any other corporation in the taxation year for the purposes of section 771.2.1.8, the corporation’s paid-up capital determined as provided in section 771.2.1.9 for its preceding taxation year or, if the corporation is in its first fiscal period, on the basis of its financial statements prepared at the beginning of the fiscal period in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, and

ii.  if the corporation is associated with one or more other corporations in the taxation year for the purposes of section 771.2.1.8, the aggregate of all amounts each of which is, for the corporation or any of the other corporations, the amount of its paid-up capital determined as provided in section 771.2.1.9 for its last taxation year ending in the preceding calendar year or, if the corporation is in its first fiscal period, on the basis of its financial statements prepared at the beginning of the fiscal period in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles.

2015, c. 21, s. 125; 2017, c. 29, s. 45; 2023, c. 19, s. 18.

(a)  A is the lesser of

i.  the total of all amounts each of which is

(1)  if the taxpayer acquires a property under the agreement in the year or a preceding taxation year, the portion of the amount by which the cost to the taxpayer of the property exceeds the fair market value of the property at the time it is acquired by the taxpayer that is attributable to an underlying interest other than an underlying interest referred to in any of subparagraphs i to iii of paragraph b of the definition of “derivative forward agreement” in section 1, or

(2)  if the taxpayer disposes of a property under the agreement in the year or a preceding taxation year, the portion of the amount by which the fair market value of the property at the time the agreement is entered into by the taxpayer exceeds the proceeds of disposition, within the meaning of section 251, of the property that is attributable to an underlying interest other than an underlying interest referred to in any of subparagraphs 1 to 3 of subparagraph i of paragraph c of the definition of “derivative forward agreement” in section 1, and

ii.  the amount that is,

(1)  if final settlement of the agreement occurs in the year and it cannot reasonably be considered that one of the main reasons for entering into the agreement is to obtain a deduction under this section, the amount determined under subparagraph i, or

(2)  in any other case, the total of all amounts included in computing the taxpayer’s income under paragraph z.7 of section 87 in respect of the agreement for the year or a preceding taxation year; and

157.4. A taxpayer who has acquired as the first purchaser a film certified as a Québec film within the meaning of the regulations made under section 130, may deduct, in computing his income for a taxation year at the end of which he is the owner of that film and has been so without interruption from that acquisition, an amount not exceeding the amount by which 50% of the aggregate of the amounts deducted by him in computing his income for that year or for a previous taxation year, in respect of the film, under paragraph a of section 130 exceeds any amount deducted under this section, in respect of the film, in computing his income for a previous taxation year.

Furthermore, where the taxpayer disposes of the film for the first time, he may deduct, in computing his income for the taxation year in which he disposes of the film, the amount by which 50% of the aggregate of the amount he could have deducted in such computation, in respect of the film, under paragraph a of section 130, had it not been for the disposition, and the amounts deducted by him in computing his income for a previous taxation year, in respect of the film, under the said paragraph a, exceeds any amount deducted under this section, in respect of the film, in computing his income for a previous taxation year.

1983, c. 44, s. 23; 1984, c. 35, s. 12.

157.4.1. Where a taxpayer is a member of a partnership at the end of a particular fiscal period of that partnership during which it acquired as the first purchaser a film certified as a Québec film within the meaning of the regulations made under section 130, he may deduct, in computing his income for a taxation year in which a fiscal period of the partnership ends and at the end of which he is a member thereof and has been a member without interruption from the end of the particular fiscal year, an amount not exceeding the amount by which his share of 50% of the aggregate of the amounts deducted by the partnership in computing its income for that fiscal period or a previous fiscal period, in respect of the film, under paragraph a of section 130, exceeds any amount deducted by the taxpayer under this section or section 157.4, in respect of the film, in computing his income for a previous taxation year.

Furthermore, where the partnership disposes of the film for the first time, the taxpayer contemplated in the first paragraph may deduct, in computing his income for the taxation year in which the fiscal period of the partnership ends and during which the disposition occurs, the amount by which his share of 50% of the aggregate of the amount that the partnership could have deducted in computing its income for that fiscal period, in respect of the film, under paragraph a of section 130, had it not been for the disposition, and the amounts deducted by the partnership in computing its income for a previous fiscal period, in respect of the film, under the said paragraph a, exceeds any amount deducted by the taxpayer under this section or section 157.4, in respect of the film, in computing his income for a previous taxation year.

For the purposes of this section, the share of a taxpayer is deemed to be equal to the lesser of:

(a)  his share in the profits of the partnership determined in the absence of this paragraph; and

(b)  his share in the profits of the partnership determined in respect of the fiscal period of the partnership during which it acquired the film.

(a)  the aggregate of all amounts each of which is an amount that was included by virtue of sections 92.11 to 92.19 or paragraph c.1 of section 312 in respect of that interest in computing his income for the year or any preceding taxation year, and

(b)  the amount by which the adjusted cost basis, within the meaning assigned by sections 976 to 977.1, to him of that interest immediately before the disposition exceeds the proceeds of the disposition, within the meaning assigned by paragraph b.4 of section 966, of the interest that the policyholder, a beneficiary or an assignee became entitled to receive.

(a)  such portion of an amount that was received or became receivable by him in the year or in a preceding taxation year as can reasonably be considered to be in respect of an amount that was included in computing his income for the year or a preceding taxation year as interest on the property and that was not repaid by the taxpayer to the issuer of the debt obligation because of an adjustment in respect of interest received before the time of disposition by the taxpayer, or

(b)  an amount in respect of the property that was deductible by him by virtue of the second paragraph of section 167 in computing his income for the year or a preceding taxation year.

DIVISION X.1 EXPENDITURES MATCHABLE WITH A RIGHT TO RECEIVE PRODUCTION

2001, c. 7, s. 26.

158.1. In this division,

“matchable expenditure” of a taxpayer means the amount of an expenditure that is made by the taxpayer to

(a)  acquire a right to receive production;

(b)  fulfil a covenant or obligation in circumstances in which it is reasonable to consider that a relationship exists between the covenant or obligation and a right to receive production; or

(c)  preserve or protect a right to receive production;

“right to receive production” means a right under which a taxpayer is entitled, either immediately or in the future and either absolutely or contingently, to receive an amount all or a portion of which is established by reference to use of property, production, revenue, profit, cash flow, commodity price, cost or value of property or any other similar criterion or by reference to dividends paid or payable to shareholders of any class of shares where the amount is in respect of another taxpayer’s activity, property or business but such a right does not include an income interest in a trust, a Canadian resource property or a foreign resource property;

“tax benefit” means a reduction, avoidance or deferral of tax or other amount payable under this Act or an increase in a refund of tax or other amount under this Act;

“tax shelter” means a property that would be a tax shelter, as defined in section 1079.1, if

(a)  the cost of a right to receive production were equal to the aggregate of all amounts each of which is a matchable expenditure to which the right relates; and

(b)  sections 158.2 to 158.12 did not apply for the purpose of computing an amount, or in the case of a partnership a loss, represented to be deductible;

“taxpayer” includes a partnership.

For the purposes of the definition of “matchable expenditure” in the first paragraph, the amount of an expenditure that a taxpayer may deduct in computing the taxpayer’s income for a taxation year under this chapter, otherwise than under this division, is not a matchable expenditure.

2001, c. 7, s. 26; 2003, c. 2, s. 51.

158.2. Subject to section 158.3, no amount of a matchable expenditure may be deducted by a taxpayer in computing the taxpayer’s income from a business or property for a taxation year.

2001, c. 7, s. 26.

158.3. If a taxpayer’s matchable expenditure would, but for section 158.2 and this section, be deductible in computing the taxpayer’s income for a taxation year, the taxpayer may deduct in respect of the matchable expenditure in computing the taxpayer’s income for a taxation year the amount that is determined under section 158.4 for the year in respect of the expenditure.

2001, c. 7, s. 26.

158.4. The amount to which section 158.3 refers for a taxation year in respect of a taxpayer’s matchable expenditure is the amount that is the least of

(a)  the aggregate of the amount by which the amount determined under this subparagraph for the preceding taxation year in respect of the matchable expenditure exceeds the amount of the matchable expenditure deductible in computing the taxpayer’s income for that preceding year and the lesser of

i.  1/5 of the matchable expenditure, and

ii.  the amount determined by the formula

(A / B) × C;

(b)  the aggregate of all amounts each of which is included in computing the taxpayer’s income for the year, other than any portion of such amount that is the subject of a reserve claimed by the taxpayer for the year under this Act, in respect of the right to receive production to which the matchable expenditure relates and the amount by which the amount determined under this subparagraph for the preceding taxation year in respect of the matchable expenditure exceeds the amount of the matchable expenditure deductible in computing the taxpayer’s income for that preceding year; and

(c)  the amount by which the aggregate of all amounts each of which is the amount of the matchable expenditure that would, but for this division, have been deductible in computing the taxpayer’s income for the year or a preceding taxation year exceeds the aggregate of all amounts each of which is the amount of the matchable expenditure deductible under section 158.3 in computing the taxpayer’s income for a preceding taxation year.

In the formula provided for in subparagraph a of the first paragraph,

(a)  A is the number of months that are in the taxation year and after the day on which the right to receive production to which the matchable expenditure relates is acquired;

(b)  B is the lesser of 240 and the number of months that are in the period that begins on the day on which the right to receive production to which the matchable expenditure relates is acquired and that ends on the day the right is to terminate; and

(c)  C is the amount of the matchable expenditure.

2001, c. 7, s. 26.

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

(a)  where a taxpayer’s matchable expenditure is made before the day on which the related right to receive production is acquired by the taxpayer, the expenditure is deemed to have been made on that day;

(b)  where a taxpayer has one or more rights to renew a particular right to receive production to which a matchable expenditure relates for one or more additional terms, after the term that includes the time at which the particular right was acquired, the particular right is deemed to terminate on the latest day on which the latest possible such term could terminate if all rights to renew the particular right were exercised;

(c)  where a taxpayer has more than one right to receive production that can reasonably be considered to be related to each other, the rights are deemed to be one right; and

(d)  where the term of a taxpayer’s right to receive production is for an indeterminate period, the right is deemed to terminate 20 years after it is acquired.

2001, c. 7, s. 26.

158.6. Where in a taxation year a taxpayer disposes of all or part of a right to receive production to which a matchable expenditure relates, the proceeds of the disposition shall be included in computing the taxpayer’s income for the year.

2001, c. 7, s. 26.

158.7. Subject to sections 158.8 and 158.9, the amount that a taxpayer may deduct, under section 158.3, in computing the taxpayer’s income for a taxation year, in respect of a matchable expenditure, other than a matchable expenditure no portion of which would, if this division were read without reference to this section, be deductible under section 158.3 in computing the taxpayer’s income, is deemed to be the amount determined under subparagraph c of the first paragraph of section 158.4 for the year in respect of the matchable expenditure where in the year

(a)  the taxpayer disposes, otherwise than in a disposition to which subsections 1 and 2 of section 544 or sections 556 to 564.1 and 565 apply, of all of the taxpayer’s right to receive production to which the matchable expenditure relates; or

(b)  the taxpayer’s right to receive production to which the matchable expenditure relates has expired.

2001, c. 7, s. 26.

158.8. Section 158.9 applies where a taxpayer’s particular right to receive production to which a matchable expenditure, other than a matchable expenditure no portion of which would, if this division were read without reference to sections 158.7 and 158.9, be deductible under section 158.3 in computing the taxpayer’s income, relates has expired or the taxpayer has disposed of all of the right, otherwise than in a disposition to which subsections 1 and 2 of section 544 or sections 556 to 564.1 and 565 apply, and

(a)  where

i.  during the period that begins 30 days before and ends 30 days after the disposition or expiry, the taxpayer or a person affiliated, or who does not deal at arm’s length, with the taxpayer acquires a right to receive production, in this section and section 158.9 referred to as the “substituted property”, that is, or is identical to, the particular right, and

ii.  at the end of the period referred to in subparagraph i, the taxpayer or a person affiliated, or who does not deal at arm’s length, with the taxpayer owns the substituted property; or

(b)  during the period that begins at the time of the disposition or expiry and ends 30 days after that time, a taxpayer that had an interest, directly or indirectly, in the right to receive production has another interest, directly or indirectly, in another right to receive production, which other interest is a tax shelter or a tax shelter investment as defined by section 851.38.

2001, c. 7, s. 26; 2020, c. 16, s. 39.

158.9. Where this section applies because of section 158.8 to a disposition or expiry in a taxation year or a preceding taxation year of a taxpayer’s right to receive production to which a matchable expenditure relates, the following rules apply:

(a)  the amount that may be deducted under section 158.3 in respect of the expenditure in computing the taxpayer’s income for a taxation year that ends at or after the disposition or expiry of the right is the amount determined under section 158.4 for the year in respect of the expenditure; and

(b)  the amount determined under section 158.4 in respect of the expenditure for a taxation year is deemed to be the amount determined under subparagraph c of the first paragraph of section 158.4 in respect of the expenditure for the year where the year includes the time that is immediately before the first time, after the disposition or expiry,

i.  at which the right would, if it were owned by the taxpayer, be deemed by Chapter I of Title I.1 of Book VI or section 999.1 to have been disposed of by the taxpayer,

ii.  that is immediately before the taxpayer is subject to a loss restriction event,

iii.  at which winding-up of the taxpayer begins, other than a winding-up to which sections 556 to 564.1 and 565 apply, if the taxpayer is a corporation,

iv.  where section 158.8 applies otherwise than because of paragraph b thereof, at which a 30-day period begins throughout which neither the taxpayer nor a person affiliated, or who does not deal at arm’s length, with the taxpayer owns the substituted property, or a property that is identical to the substituted property and that was acquired after the day that is 31 days before the period began, or

v.  where section 158.8 applies otherwise than because of paragraph a thereof, at which a 30-day period begins throughout which no taxpayer who had an interest, directly or indirectly, in the right has an interest, directly or indirectly, in another right to receive production if one or more of those direct or indirect interests in the other right is a tax shelter or tax shelter investment as defined by section 851.38.

2001, c. 7, s. 26; 2004, c. 8, s. 29; 2017, c. 1, s. 94.

158.10. For the purposes of paragraph b of section 158.9, where a partnership ceases to exist at any time after a disposition or expiry referred to in section 158.9, the partnership is deemed not to have ceased to exist, and each taxpayer who was a member of the partnership immediately before the partnership would, but for this section, have ceased to exist is deemed to remain a member of the partnership until the time that is immediately after the first of the times described in subparagraphs i to v of paragraph b of section 158.9.

2001, c. 7, s. 26.

158.11. For the purpose of applying section 158.8, otherwise than because of paragraph b thereof, and section 158.9, a right to acquire a particular right to receive production, other than a right, as security only, derived from a hypothec, mortgage, agreement of sale or similar obligation, is deemed to be a right to receive production that is identical to the particular right.

2001, c. 7, s. 26; 2005, c. 1, s. 64.

158.12. For the purpose of applying Title VIII of Book VI to an amount that would, if this division were read without reference to this section, be a matchable expenditure any portion of the cost of which is deductible under section 158.3, the expenditure is deemed to be a tax shelter investment and that Title VIII shall be read without reference to paragraph b of section 851.41.

Where a taxpayer who is a member of a partnership is obligated to pay an amount as interest or in full or partial payment of interest on money that was borrowed by him before 1 April 1977 and that was used by him to acquire land owned by the partnership before that day or pursuant to an obligation entered into by him before 1 April 1977 to pay for such land, and, in a taxation year of the taxpayer, the partnership disposes of all or part of the land, or the taxpayer disposes of all or part of his interest in the partnership, to a person other than a person with whom the taxpayer does not deal at arm’s length, the taxpayer may, in computing his income for the year or any subsequent taxation year, deduct such part of the amount as may reasonably be attributed to the part of the land or interest in the partnership, as the case may be, that is so disposed of and that was not

(a)  deductible under section 164 in computing the income of the taxpayer for any previous year,

(b)  deductible in computing the income of another taxpayer for any taxation year,

(c)  included in computing the adjusted cost base to the taxpayer of any property, nor

(d)  deductible, under this section, in computing the income of the taxpayer for a previous taxation year.

1978, c. 26, s. 38; 1995, c. 49, s. 48; 1997, c. 3, s. 71.

165.2. For the purposes of this division, a corporation’s base level deduction for a taxation year is equal to the amount that would be the amount of interest for the year, computed at the prescribed rate, in respect of a loan of $1,000,000 outstanding throughout the year, unless the corporation is associated in the year with one or more other corporations in which case, subject to sections 165.3 to 165.5, its base level deduction for the year is nil.

1990, c. 59, s. 94; 1997, c. 3, s. 71.

165.3. Notwithstanding section 165.2, where none of the corporations that are associated with each other in a taxation year has, in that year, an establishment in a province other than Québec and all of those corporations have filed with the Minister, in prescribed form, an agreement whereby, for the purposes of this division, they allocate an amount to one or more of them for the taxation year and the amount so allocated or the aggregate of the amounts so allocated, as the case may be, does not exceed $1,000,000, the base level deduction for each of the corporations for the year is equal to the base level deduction that would be computed under section 165.2 in respect of the corporation if the reference in that section to an amount of $1,000,000 were read as a reference to the amount so allocated to it.

1990, c. 59, s. 94; 1997, c. 3, s. 71; 1999, c. 83, s. 44.

165.4. Where any of the corporations referred to in section 165.3 has failed to file with the Minister an agreement referred to in that section within 30 days after notice in writing by the Minister has been forwarded to any of them that such an agreement is required for the purposes of any assessment of tax under this Part, the Minister shall, for the purposes of this division, allocate an amount to one or more of them for the taxation year, which amount or the aggregate of which amounts, as the case may be, shall be equal to $1,000,000 and, in any such case, the amount so allocated to any such corporation is deemed to be an amount allocated to the corporation pursuant to section 165.3.

1990, c. 59, s. 94; 1997, c. 3, s. 71; 1999, c. 83, s. 44; 2010, c. 25, s. 19.

165.4.1. Notwithstanding section 165.2, where one of the corporations that are associated with each other in a taxation year has, in that year, an establishment in a province other than Québec and an amount is, pursuant to subsection 2.3 of section 18 of the Income Tax Act (Revised Statutes of Canada, 1985, chapter 1, 5th Supplement), allocated to one or more such corporations for the year, the base level deduction for the year for each such corporation shall be equal to its base level deduction determined for that year for the purposes of paragraph f of subsection 2 of the said section 18.

Where, for a taxation year, a corporation referred to in the first paragraph files an agreement with the Minister of Revenue of Canada in accordance with paragraph 2.3 of section 18 of the Income Tax Act, the corporation shall file with the Minister, for that year, a copy of that agreement.

1999, c. 83, s. 45; 2000, c. 5, s. 293.

165.5. Notwithstanding any other provision of this division,

(a)  where a corporation to which section 165.3 or 165.4 applies, in this section referred to as “the first corporation”, has more than one taxation year ending in the same calendar year and is associated in two or more of those taxation years with another corporation that has a taxation year ending in that calendar year, the base level deduction of the first corporation for each taxation year in which it is associated with the other corporation ending in that calendar year is, subject to paragraph b, an amount equal to its base level deduction for the first such taxation year determined without reference to paragraph b; and

(b)  where a corporation to which any of sections 165.2 to 165.4 applies, other than a corporation to which section 165.4.1 applies, has a taxation year that is less than 51 weeks, its base level deduction for the year is equal to that proportion of its base level deduction for the year, determined without reference to this paragraph, that the number of days in the year is of 365.

1990, c. 59, s. 94; 1997, c. 3, s. 71; 1999, c. 83, s. 46.

166. A corporation shall not deduct an amount paid as interest or otherwise to the holders of its income bonds or income debentures unless they have been issued or their provisions in respect of interest have been adopted since 1930 to provide the debtor with assistance in meeting his financial difficulties and to replace or alter bonds or debentures which, at the end of 1930, were bearing a fixed unconditional rate of interest.

1972, c. 23, s. 154; 1997, c. 3, s. 71; 1997, c. 14, s. 46.

167. Where, by virtue of the disposition of a debt obligation other than an income bond, an income debenture, a development bond or a small business bond, the transferee has become entitled to an amount of interest that accrued thereon for a period ending at the time of the disposition and that is not payable until after that time, such amount shall be included as interest in computing the transferor’s income for his taxation year in which the disposition occurred, except to the extent that it was otherwise included in computing his income for the year or a preceding taxation year.

In that case, the transferee may, in computing his income for a taxation year, deduct the amount of any interest accrued at the time of the disposition to the extent that the amount was included as interest in computing his income for the year.

1972, c. 23, s. 155; 1984, c. 15, s. 40; 1996, c. 39, s. 273.

167.1. Where a person who has issued a debt obligation, other than an income bond, an income debenture, a small business development bond or a small business bond, is obligated to pay an amount that is stipulated to be interest on that debt obligation in respect of a period before its issue and it is reasonable to consider that the consideration paid to the issuer by the person to whom the debt obligation was issued includes that interest, the following rules apply:

(a)  for the purposes of sections 87, 87.2, 89 to 92.7 and 167, the issue of the debt obligation is deemed to be a disposition of the debt obligation from the issuer, as transferor, to the person to whom the obligation is issued, as transferee, and that interest is deemed to be interest that accrued on the debt obligation for a period ending at the time of the disposition; and

(b)  notwithstanding paragraph a or any other provision of this Act, the issuer shall not deduct or include that interest in computing his income.

1985, c. 25, s. 34; 1991, c. 25, s. 54.

167.1.1. For the purposes of section 167, the amount determined by the following formula is deemed to be interest that accrued on a disposed debt obligation—that is, at any time, described in section 92.5R3 of the Regulation respecting the Taxation Act (chapter I-3, r. 1) because of subparagraph d of the first paragraph of that section—that the transferee has become entitled to receive for a period commencing before the time of the disposition (in this section referred to as the “particular time”) and ending at the particular time and that is not payable until after the particular time:

A – B.

In the formula in the first paragraph,

(a)  A is the price for which the debt obligation was disposed of at the particular time; and

(b)  B is the amount by which the price (converted to Canadian currency using the exchange rate prevailing at the particular time, if the debt obligation is denominated in a foreign currency) for which the debt obligation was issued exceeds the portion of the principal amount of the debt obligation (converted to Canadian currency using the exchange rate prevailing at the particular time, if the debt obligation is denominated in a foreign currency) that was repaid by the issuer on or before the particular time.

2019, c. 14, s. 85.

168. (Repealed).

1972, c. 23, s. 156; 1984, c. 15, s. 41.

169. Despite any other provision of this Act (other than section 174.2), a corporation or a trust shall not make any deduction in respect of the proportion, determined in accordance with section 170, of any amount otherwise deductible in computing its income from a business (other than the Canadian banking business of an authorized foreign bank) or property for a taxation year, in respect of interest paid or payable by it on outstanding debts to specified persons not resident in Canada.

1972, c. 23, s. 157; 1997, c. 3, s. 71; 2015, c. 21, s. 130; 2015, c. 24, s. 33.

170. The proportion to which section 169 refers is the proportion that the amount described in the second paragraph is of the average (in this section referred to as the “average outstanding debts”) of all amounts each of which is, in respect of a month that ends in the year, the greatest amount at any time in the month of the corporation’s or trust’s outstanding debts to specified persons not resident in Canada.

The amount to which the first paragraph refers is equal to the amount by which the corporation’s or trust’s average outstanding debts for the year exceeds the amount equal to 150% of the corporation’s or trust’s equity amount for the year.

1972, c. 23, s. 158; 1997, c. 3, s. 71; 2003, c. 2, s. 56; 2015, c. 21, s. 131; 2015, c. 24, s. 34.

171. For the purposes of sections 169, 170 and 172, a corporation’s or trust’s outstanding debts at any particular time in a taxation year to specified persons not resident in Canada are the aggregate of all amounts each of which is an amount outstanding at that time in respect of any debt or other obligation to pay an amount payable by the corporation or trust to a person who is, in the year, a specified person not resident in Canada, on which interest paid or payable is or would be, but for section 169, deductible in computing the corporation’s or trust’s income for the year.

However, the outstanding debts referred to in sections 169 and 170 do not include an amount outstanding at the particular time in relation to a debt or other obligation that is

(a)  an obligation to pay an amount to

i.  an insurance corporation not resident in Canada to the extent that the amount outstanding was, for the insurance corporation’s taxation year that included the particular time, designated insurance property in relation to an insurance business carried on in Canada through an establishment, or

ii.  an authorized foreign bank, if the bank uses or holds the amount outstanding at the particular time in its Canadian banking business; or

(b)  a debt obligation described in subparagraph ii of subparagraph a of the second paragraph of section 127.17, to the extent that the proceeds of the debt obligation can reasonably be considered to directly or indirectly fund at the particular time, in whole or in part, a pertinent loan or indebtedness (as defined in subparagraph ii of subparagraph a of the second paragraph of section 127.16) owing to the corporation or another corporation resident in Canada that does not, at the particular time, deal at arm’s length with the corporation.

For the purpose of determining whether a particular person is a specified shareholder of a corporation at any time, the particular person or the person with whom the particular person is not dealing at arm’s length, as the case may be, is deemed at that time to own the shares referred to in subparagraph a of the first paragraph and the corporation referred to in subparagraph b of the first paragraph is deemed at that time to have redeemed, acquired or cancelled the shares referred to in the said subparagraph b, where the particular person or the person with whom the particular person is not dealing at arm’s length has at that time a right under a contract or otherwise, either immediately or in the future and either absolutely or contingently, other than a right that is not exercisable at that time because the exercise thereof is contingent on the death, bankruptcy or permanent disability of an individual,

(c)  if the amount of income or capital of the trust that the particular person, or a person with whom the particular person does not deal at arm’s length, may receive as a beneficiary of the trust depends on the exercise by any person of, or the failure by any person to exercise, a discretionary power, that person is deemed to have fully exercised, or to have failed to exercise, the power, as the case may be.

For the purposes of subparagraph e of the second paragraph, the following rules apply:

(a)  if a property is partly used or held by a taxpayer in a taxation year in the course of carrying on a business in Canada, the cost of the property to the taxpayer is deemed for the year to be equal to the proportion of the cost to the taxpayer of the property (determined without reference to this paragraph) that the proportion of the use or holding made of the property in the course of carrying on a business in Canada in the year is of the whole use or holding made of the property in the year; and

(b)  if a corporation or trust is deemed to own a portion of a property of a partnership because of section 174.1 at any time,

i.  the property is deemed to have, at that time, a cost to the corporation or trust equal to the proportion of the cost of the property to the partnership that is the proportion that the debts and other obligations to pay an amount of the partnership allocated to it under section 174.1 is of the total amount of all debts and other obligations to pay an amount of the partnership, and

ii.  in the case of a partnership that carries on a business in Canada, the corporation or trust is deemed to use or hold the property in the course of carrying on a business in Canada to the extent the partnership uses or holds the property in the course of carrying on a business in Canada for the fiscal period of the partnership that includes that time.

(a)  is included in computing the income of the trust for the year under paragraph m.1 of section 87; or

(b)  is not deductible in computing the income of the trust for the year because of section 169.

Chapter V.2 of Title II of Book I applies in relation to a designation made under subsection 5.4 of section 18 of the Income Tax Act.

2015, c. 24, s. 38.

174. For the purposes of sections 169 to 172, the rules set out in section 174.0.1 apply at any time in respect of a taxpayer if at that time

(1)  recourse in respect of the debt or other obligation is limited in whole or in part, either immediately or in the future and either absolutely or contingently, to the particular debt or other particular obligation, or

(2)  it can reasonably be concluded that all or a portion of the particular amount became owing, or was permitted to remain owing, because all or a portion of the debt or other obligation was entered into or was permitted to remain owing, or the intermediary anticipated that all or a portion of the debt or other obligation would become owing or remain owing, or

ii.  has a specified right in respect of a particular property that was granted directly or indirectly by a particular person that is, in respect of the taxpayer, a specified person not resident in Canada and in respect of which any of the following conditions is met:

i.  the particular amount, and

ii.  the aggregate of all amounts each of which is an amount (other than the particular amount) that the taxpayer, or a person that does not deal at arm’s length with the taxpayer, owes to the intermediary as or on account of a debt or other obligation to pay an amount under the agreement, or an agreement that is connected to the agreement, under which the particular debt or other particular obligation was entered into if

(1)  the intermediary is granted a security interest in respect of a property that is the intermediary debt or the particular property, as the case may be, and the security interest secures the payment of two or more debts or other obligations that include the debt or other obligation and the particular debt or other particular obligation, and

(a)  for the purposes of this Part, to have been paid by the taxpayer and received by the person or partnership at that time as interest on the debt obligation, and

(b)  for the purpose of computing the taxpayer’s income in respect of the business or property for the year, to have been paid or payable by the taxpayer in that year as interest pursuant to a legal obligation to pay interest,

i.  in the case of any such reduction, on the debt obligation, and

ii.  in the case of any such repayment, where the repayment was in respect of all or part of the principal amount of the debt obligation that was

(1)  borrowed money, except to the extent that the borrowed money was used by the taxpayer to acquire property, on borrowed money used in the year for the purpose for which the borrowed money that was repaid was used, or

(2)  either borrowed money used to acquire property or an amount payable for property acquired by the taxpayer, on the debt obligation to the extent that the property or property substituted therefor is used by the taxpayer in the year for the purpose of earning income therefrom or for the purposes of gaining and producing income from a business.

The first paragraph does not apply where the payment

(a)  may reasonably be considered to have been made in respect of the extension of the term of a debt obligation or in respect of the substitution or conversion of a debt obligation to another debt obligation or share, or

(b)  is contingent or dependent on the use of or production from property or is computed by reference to revenue, profit, cash flow, commodity price or any other similar criterion or by reference to dividends paid or payable to shareholders of any class of shares of the capital stock of a corporation.

(a)  the amount of interest, not in excess of a reasonable amount, that would have been payable on the debt obligation by the borrower in respect of the year if no amount had been paid before the end of the year in satisfaction of the obligation to pay interest on the debt obligation in respect of the year and if the amount outstanding at each particular time in the year that is after 31 December 1991 on account of the principal amount of the debt obligation were the amount by which the amount outstanding at the particular time on account of the principal amount of the debt obligation exceeds the total of

i.  the aggregate of all amounts each of which is an amount paid before the particular time in satisfaction, in whole or in part, of the obligation to pay interest on the debt obligation in respect of a period or part thereof that is after 31 December 1991, after the beginning of the year, and after the time the amount was so paid, other than a period or part thereof that is in the year where no such amount has been paid before the particular time in respect of a period or part thereof that is after the end of the year, and

ii.  the amount by which

(1)  the aggregate of all amounts each of which is the amount of interest payable on the debt obligation, determined without reference to this section, by the borrower in respect of a taxation year ending after 31 December 1991 and before the year, to the extent that such interest does not exceed a reasonable amount, exceeds

(2)  the aggregate of all amounts each of which is the amount of interest deemed by this section to have been payable on the debt obligation by the borrower in respect of a taxation year ending before the year; and

(a)  for the purpose of applying sections 484 to 484.6 in respect of the borrower, the principal amount at that time of the debt obligation is deemed to be equal to the amount by which the principal amount at that time of the debt obligation exceeds the excess amount; and

(b)  the excess amount shall be deducted at that time in computing the forgiven amount in respect of the obligation, within the meaning assigned by section 485.

The aggregate first referred to in the first paragraph, at any particular time, is equal to the total of the following amounts:

(a)  the aggregate of all amounts each of which is an amount of interest deemed by section 175.1.2 to have been payable on the debt obligation by the borrower in respect of a taxation year ending before the particular time; and

(a)  for the purposes of section 175.1.5 and, subject to that section, for the purposes of subparagraph 1 of subparagraph ii of paragraph a of section 175.1.2, subparagraph i of paragraph b of that section, subparagraph b of the second paragraph of section 175.1.3 and section 175.1.6, to be an amount of interest payable on the debt obligation by the borrower in respect of that period or part thereof; and

175.1.5. Where an amount of interest payable on a debt obligation, determined without reference to section 175.1.2, by a borrower in respect of a particular period or part thereof that is after 31 December 1991 can reasonably be regarded as an amount payable as consideration for a reduction in the amount of interest that would otherwise be payable on the debt obligation in respect of a subsequent period, or a reduction in the amount that was or may be paid before the beginning of a subsequent period in satisfaction of the obligation to pay interest on the debt obligation in respect of that subsequent period, such reductions being determined without reference to the existence of, or the amount of any interest paid or payable on, any other debt obligation, that amount,

(a)  for the purposes of subparagraph 1 of subparagraph ii of paragraph a of section 175.1.2, subparagraph i of paragraph b of that section, subparagraph b of the second paragraph of section 175.1.3 and section 175.1.6, is deemed to be an amount of interest payable on the debt obligation by the borrower in respect of the subsequent period and not to be an amount of interest payable on the debt obligation by the borrower in respect of the particular period; and

(b)  when paid, is deemed for the purposes of subparagraph i of paragraph a of section 175.1.2 and subparagraph a of the second paragraph of section 175.1.3 to be an amount paid in satisfaction of the obligation to pay interest on the debt obligation in respect of the subsequent period.

1994, c. 22, s. 112.

(a)  the amount of interest payable on the debt obligation, determined without reference to section 175.1.2, by any person or partnership in respect of a period is, to the extent that that period is included in a taxation year of the borrower ending after 31 December 1991, deemed, for the purposes of subparagraph 1 of subparagraph ii of paragraph a of section 175.1.2, subparagraph i of paragraph b of that section and subparagraph b of the second paragraph of section 175.1.3, to be an amount of interest payable on the debt obligation by the borrower in respect of that year; and

(b)  the application of sections 175.1.2 and 175.1.3 to the borrower in respect of the debt obligation after that time shall be determined on the assumption that section 175.1.2 applied to the borrower in respect of the debt obligation before that time.

For the purposes of this section, where the borrower came into existence at a particular time that is after the beginning of the particular period commencing at the beginning of the first period in respect of which interest was payable on the debt obligation by any person or partnership and ending at the particular time, the borrower is deemed to have been in existence throughout the particular period, and to have had, throughout the particular period, taxation years ending on the day of the year on which its first taxation year ended.

1994, c. 22, s. 112; 1997, c. 3, s. 71.

175.1.7.

(a)  for the purposes of sections 175.1.2 to 175.1.6 and 175.1.8, to be neither an amount of interest payable on the debt obligation nor an amount paid in satisfaction of the obligation to pay interest on the debt obligation; and

(b)  to be a payment as a penalty or bonus, described in section 175.1.1, in respect of the debt obligation.

1994, c. 22, s. 112.

“branch advance” of an authorized foreign bank means an amount allocated or provided by, or on behalf of, the bank to, or for the benefit of, its Canadian banking business under terms that were documented, before the amount was so allocated or provided, to the same extent as, and in a form similar to the form in which, the bank would ordinarily document a loan by it to a person with whom it deals at arm’s length;

“branch financial statements” of an authorized foreign bank for a taxation year means the unconsolidated statements of assets and liabilities and of income and expenses, in relation to its Canadian banking business,

(a)  that form part of the bank’s annual report for the year filed with the Superintendent of Financial Institutions of Canada as required under section 601 of the Bank Act (Statutes of Canada, 1991, chapter 46), and accepted by the Superintendent; and

(b)  if such a report is not required to be filed for the year, that are prepared in a manner consistent with the statements in the annual report or reports so filed and accepted for the period or periods in which the year falls;

“calculation period” of an authorized foreign bank for a taxation year means any one of a series of regular periods into which the year is divided in a designation by the bank in its fiscal return for the year or, in the absence of such a designation, by the Minister,

(b)  the first of which commences at the beginning of the year and the last of which ends at the end of the year; and

(c)  that are, unless the Minister otherwise agrees in writing, consistent with the calculation periods designated by the bank for its preceding taxation year.

If the Minister demonstrates that the statements referred to in the definition of “branch financial statements” in the first paragraph are not prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in Canada as modified by any specifications applicable to the bank made by the Superintendent of Financial Institutions of Canada under subsection 4 of section 308 of the Bank Act, in this paragraph referred to as “modified accounting principles”, the expression “branch financial statements” means the statements subject to such modifications as are required to make them comply with modified accounting principles.

175.2.9. In computing the income of an authorized foreign bank from its Canadian banking business for a taxation year, there may be deducted on account of interest for each calculation period of the bank for the year,

(a)  where the total amount at the end of the period of its branch advances and debts to other persons and partnerships is 95% or more of the amount of its assets at that time, an amount not exceeding

i.  if the amount of debts to other persons and partnerships at that time is less than 95% of the amount of its assets at that time, the amount determined by the formula

E + D × (0.95 × A − C) / B, and

ii.  if the amount of debts to other persons and partnerships at that time is equal to or greater than 95% of the amount of its assets at that time, the amount determined by the formula

E × (0.95 × A) / C; and

175.2.10. Only amounts that are in respect of an authorized foreign bank’s Canadian banking business, and that are entered in the accounting records of the business in a manner consistent with the manner in which they are required to be treated for the purposes of the branch financial statements, shall be used to determine the amounts referred to in the first paragraph of section 175.2.9 of an authorized foreign bank’s assets, debts to other persons and partnerships, and branch advances, and the amounts in the second paragraph of section 175.2.9.

2004, c. 8, s. 32.

175.2.11. For the purposes of subparagraph d of the second paragraph of section 175.2.9, a reasonable amount on account of notional interest for a calculation period in respect of a branch advance is the amount that would be payable on account of interest for the period by a notional borrower, having regard to the duration of the advance, the currency in which repayment is required and all other terms, as determined with reference to paragraph c, of the advance, if

(a)  the borrower were a person that carried on the bank’s Canadian banking business, that dealt at arm’s length with the bank and that had the same credit-worthiness and borrowing capacity as the bank;

(b)  the advance were a loan by the bank to the borrower; and

(c)  any of the terms of the advance, excluding the rate of interest, but including the structure of the interest calculation, such as whether the rate is fixed or floating and the choice of any reference rate referred to, that are not terms that would be made between the bank as lender and the borrower, having regard to all the circumstances, including the nature of the Canadian banking business, the use of the advanced funds in the business and normal risk management practices for banks, were instead terms that would be agreed to by the bank and the borrower.

(a)  any of the following applies, namely,

i.  the borrowed money is denominated in a currency, in this section and sections 175.2.13 to 175.2.15 referred to as the “final currency”, other than the weak currency, is used for the purpose of earning income from a business or property and is not used to acquire funds in a currency other than the final currency,

(b)  the amount of the particular debt together with any other debt that would, but for this paragraph, be at any time a weak currency debt, and that can reasonably be regarded as having been incurred or assumed by the taxpayer as part of a series of transactions that includes the incurring or assumption of the particular debt, exceeds $500,000; and

(c)  either of the following applies, namely,

i.  if the rate at which interest is payable at the particular time in the weak currency in respect of the particular debt is determined under a formula based on the value from time to time of a reference rate, other than a reference rate the value of which is established or materially influenced by the taxpayer, the interest rate at the commitment time, as determined under the formula as though interest were then payable, exceeds by more than two percentage points the rate at which interest would have been payable at the commitment time in the final currency if

(1)  the taxpayer had, at the commitment time, instead incurred or assumed an equivalent amount of debt in the final currency on the same terms as the particular debt, excluding the rate of interest but including the structure of the interest calculation, such as whether the rate is fixed or floating, with those modifications that the difference in currency requires, and

(a)  no deduction on account of interest that accrues on the debt for any period that begins after the day that is the later of 30 June 2000 and the exchange date during which it is a weak currency debt shall exceed the amount of interest that would, if at the commitment time the taxpayer had instead incurred or assumed an equivalent amount of debt in the final currency on the same terms as the particular debt, excluding the rate of interest but including the structure of the interest calculation, such as whether the rate is fixed or floating, have accrued on the equivalent debt during that period, with those modifications that the difference in currency requires;

(b)  the amount of the taxpayer’s gain or loss, in this section and section 175.2.14 referred to as a “foreign exchange gain” or “foreign exchange loss”, for a taxation year on the settlement or extinguishment of the debt that is due to the fluctuation in the value of any currency shall be included or deducted, as the case may be, in computing the taxpayer’s income from the business or the property to which the debt relates; and

(c)  the amount of any interest on the debt that is, because of this section, not deductible is deemed, for the purpose of computing the taxpayer’s foreign exchange gain or foreign exchange loss on the settlement or extinguishment of the debt, to be an amount paid by the taxpayer to settle or extinguish the debt.

2004, c. 8, s. 32.

175.2.14.

2004, c. 8, s. 32.

175.2.15. Where the amount, expressed in the weak currency, outstanding on account of principal in respect of a debt that is at any time a weak currency debt is reduced before maturity, whether by repayment or otherwise, the amount, expressed in the weak currency, of the reduction is deemed, except for the purpose of determining the rate of interest that would have been charged on an equivalent debt in the final currency and applying paragraph b of the definition of “weak currency debt” in section 175.2.12, to have been a separate debt from the commitment time.

2004, c. 8, s. 32.

DIVISION XII.0.1 TRANSITIONAL RULES RELATING TO AN INSURER

2010, c. 25, s. 20.

175.2.16. In sections 175.2.17 to 175.2.19, “insurance business”, “reserve transition amount” and “transition year” have the meaning assigned by section 92.23.

2010, c. 25, s. 20.

175.2.17. If an insurer’s reserve transition amount in respect of an insurance business carried on by it in Canada is negative, the reserve transition amount, expressed as a positive number, must be deducted in computing the insurer’s income for its transition year from the insurance business.

2010, c. 25, s. 20.

175.2.18. If an amount has been included under section 92.24 in computing an insurer’s income for its transition year from an insurance business carried on by it in Canada, there must be deducted in computing the insurer’s income, for each particular taxation year of the insurer that ends after the beginning of the transition year, from that insurance business, the amount determined by the formula

A × B/1,825.

In the formula in the first paragraph,

(a)  A is the amount included under section 92.24 in computing the insurer’s income for its transition year from that insurance business; and

(b)  B is the number of days in the particular taxation year that are before the day that is 1,825 days after the first day of the transition year.

If at any time an insurer ceases (otherwise than as a result of an amalgamation within the meaning of subsections 1 and 2 of section 544) to carry on all or substantially all of an insurance business (in this section referred to as the “discontinued business”), and neither section 92.26 nor 92.27 applies, there must be deducted in computing the insurer’s income from the discontinued business for the insurer’s taxation year that includes the time that is immediately before that time, the amount determined by the formula

A - B.

In the formula in the first paragraph,

(a)  A is the amount included under section 92.24 in computing the insurer’s income from the discontinued business for its transition year; and

(b)  B is the aggregate of all amounts each of which is an amount deducted under section 175.2.18 in computing the insurer’s income from the discontinued business for a taxation year that began before that time.

(a)  the principal place of business of the individual or partnership, as the case may be; or

(b)  used

i.  exclusively for the purposes of earning income from a business, and

ii.  on a regular and continuous basis for meeting clients, customers or patients of the individual or partnership in respect of the business, as the case may be.

175.5. Where a work space is described in paragraph a or b of section 175.4, the amount in respect of the work space that is deductible by the individual or partnership referred to in that section in computing the income of the individual or partnership from the business referred to in that section for a taxation year or fiscal period, as the case may be, shall not exceed the lesser of

(a)  the aggregate of all amounts each of which is,

i.  where the individual or the partnership has made an expenditure, other than an expenditure of a capital nature, that may reasonably be considered to relate

(1)  both to the part of the establishment, other than the work space, and to the work space, the product obtained by multiplying the amount that would, but for this section, be deductible in computing the income of the individual or partnership from the business for the taxation year or the fiscal period, as the case may be, in respect of the expenditure, by 50%, or

(2)  solely to the work space, the amount that would, but for this section, be deductible in computing the income of the individual or partnership from the business for the taxation year or the fiscal period, as the case may be, in respect of the expenditure, and

(b)  the income of the individual or partnership from the business for the taxation year or the fiscal period, as the case may be, computed before deducting any amount referred to in subparagraphs i and ii of subparagraph a and without reference to sections 217.2 to 217.9.1.

For the purposes of subparagraph i of subparagraph a of the first paragraph,

(a)  an amount paid or payable by the individual or partnership as rent pertaining to the work space is deemed to be an expenditure that may reasonably be considered to relate to both the part of the establishment, other than the work space, and the work space;

(b)  an expenditure, other than an expenditure of a capital nature, made by the individual or partnership, that may reasonably be considered to relate to both the work space in connection with the operation of a tourist accommodation establishment that is a principal residence establishment, bed and breakfast establishment or tourist home, within the meaning of the regulations made under the Tourist Accommodation Act (chapter H-1.01), and the part of the establishment, other than the work space, is deemed to be an expenditure relating solely to the work space if the tourist accommodation establishment is duly registered under that Act;

(b.1)  an expenditure, other than an expenditure of a capital nature, made by the individual or partnership, that may reasonably be considered to relate to both the work space in connection with the operation of a private residential home and the part of the establishment, other than the work space, is deemed to be an expenditure relating solely to the work space; and

(c)  an expenditure, other than an expenditure of a capital nature, made by the individual or partnership, that may reasonably be considered to relate both to the part of the establishment, other than the work space, and to the work space, including an amount paid or payable by the individual or partnership as lighting or heating costs, and that is not an expenditure in relation to the maintenance of the establishment, is deemed to be an expenditure that may reasonably be considered to relate solely to the work space.

For the purposes of subparagraph c of the second paragraph, an amount paid or payable by the individual or partnership as maintenance and repairs costs, rent, interest on a hypothecary loan, property and school taxes or insurance premiums, relating to both the part of the establishment, other than the work space, and the work space, is deemed to be an expenditure relating to the maintenance of the establishment.

(a)  for the purposes of section 175.4, the excess amount is deemed, for the purpose of computing the income of the individual or partnership from the business for the particular taxation year or fiscal period, as the case may be, to be an amount otherwise deductible for the particular taxation year or fiscal period, as the case may be, in respect of a work space that is described in paragraph a or b of section 175.4 for the particular taxation year or fiscal period, as the case may be;

(b)  in applying section 175.5, the excess amount is deemed to be an expenditure, other than an expenditure of a capital nature, that may reasonably be considered to relate solely to the work space and that is deductible in computing the income of the individual or partnership from the business for the particular taxation year or the particular fiscal period, as the case may be.

1990, c. 59, s. 98; 1997, c. 14, s. 49; 1997, c. 31, s. 22; 2000, c. 39, s. 17.

DIVISION XII.1.1 EXPENSES FOR FOOD, BEVERAGES AND ENTERTAINMENT

2004, c. 21, s. 65.

175.6.1. The aggregate of all amounts that a taxpayer may deduct in computing income from a business or property for a taxation year, each of which is an amount to which section 421.1 applies for the year, shall not exceed

(a)  in respect of a business of the taxpayer that consists in acting as an intermediary in selling property included in the inventory of another taxpayer,

i.  if the taxpayer’s deemed gross revenue for the year from the business referred to in this subparagraph does not exceed $32,500, the amount determined by the formula

[2% × (A/B)] + [2% × (C − A)],

ii.  if the taxpayer’s deemed gross revenue for the year from the business referred to in this subparagraph exceeds $32,500 but does not exceed $51,999, $650, and

iii.  if the taxpayer’s deemed gross revenue for the year from the business referred to in this subparagraph exceeds $51,999, the amount determined by the formula

[1.25% × (A/B)] + [1.25% × (C − A)];

(b)  in any other case,

i.  if the taxpayer’s gross revenue for the year from the business or property does not exceed $32,500, an amount equal to 2% of that gross revenue,

ii.  if the taxpayer’s gross revenue for the year from the business or property exceeds $32,500 but does not exceed $51,999, $650, and

iii.   if the taxpayer’s gross revenue for the year from the business or property exceeds $51,999, an amount equal to 1.25% of that gross revenue.

For the purposes of subparagraphs i to iii of subparagraph a of the first paragraph, the taxpayer’s deemed gross revenue for the year from the business referred to in that subparagraph a is the amount determined by the formula

(A/B) + (C - A).

In the formulas in subparagraphs i and iii of subparagraph a of the first paragraph and in the second paragraph,

(a)  A is the aggregate of all amounts each of which is the amount of a commission that the taxpayer included in computing income for the year from the business referred to in that subparagraph a;

(b)  B is the average percentage of the aggregate of all the commissions in respect of which the taxpayer included the amount in computing income for the year from the business referred to in that subparagraph a; and

(c)  C is the taxpayer’s gross revenue for the year from the business referred to in that subparagraph a.

If the number of days in the taxation year of the taxpayer is less than 365, the following rules apply:

(a)  for the purposes of subparagraphs a and b of the first paragraph, the taxpayer’s deemed gross revenue or gross revenue for the year from a business or property is deemed to be equal to the amount obtained by multiplying that revenue by the proportion that 365 is of the number of days in the year; and

(b)  the amount determined under subparagraph a or b of the first paragraph is deemed to be equal to that amount, otherwise determined, multiplied by the proportion that the number of days in the year is of 365.

However, an amount to which section 421.1 applies for a taxation year must not be included in computing the aggregate referred to in the first paragraph, in relation to a business of the taxpayer, where it is an amount in respect of food or beverages consumed by a person in a place that is at least 40 km from the taxpayer’s place of business where that person ordinarily works or to which that person is ordinarily attached and to the extent that the amount is paid or payable in connection with activities related to the business that are ordinarily carried on by a person in a place so remotely located from that place of business.

In addition, no taxpayer who is a member of a partnership at the end of a fiscal period of the partnership may, in respect of a business carried on by the partnership or of property owned by the partnership, deduct an amount incurred by the taxpayer and to which section 421.1 applies, in computing income from the business or property for the taxpayer’s taxation year in which that fiscal period ends.

(a)  the transferor’s loss from the disposition is deemed to be nil; and

(b)  the transferor’s loss from the disposition, determined without reference to this section, is deemed to be a loss of the transferor from a disposition of the particular property at the first time, after the time of disposition,

ii.  at which the substituted property would, if it were owned by the transferor, be deemed under Chapter I of Title I.1 of Book VI or section 999.1 to have been disposed of by the transferor,

iii.  that is immediately before the transferor is subject to a loss restriction event, or

iv.  at which the winding-up of the transferor begins, other than a winding-up referred to in section 556, where the transferor is a corporation.

For the purposes of subparagraph b of the first paragraph, where a partnership otherwise ceases to exist at any time after the time of disposition,

(a)  the partnership is deemed not to have ceased to exist until the time that is immediately after the first time described in subparagraphs i to iv of subparagraph b; and

ii.  another person or partnership that does not deal at arm’s length with, or is affiliated with, the holder (that other person or partnership being referred to in this section and sections 175.13 and 175.15 as the “connected person”), or

iii.  any combination of the holder and one or more connected persons;

(b)  have the effect, or would have the effect if each of the positions held by a connected person were held by the holder, of eliminating all or substantially all of the holder’s risk of loss and opportunity for gain or profit in respect of the particular position; and

(c)  if held by a connected person, can reasonably be considered to have been held with the purpose of obtaining the effect described in paragraph b;

“position”, of a person or partnership, means one or more properties, obligations or liabilities of the person or partnership, where

(a)  each property, obligation or liability is

i.  a share of the capital stock of a corporation,

iv.  a commodity,

v.  foreign currency,

vi.  a swap agreement, a forward purchase or sale agreement, a forward rate agreement, a futures agreement, an option agreement or a similar agreement,

vii.  a debt owed to or owing by the person or partnership that, at any time,

(1)  is denominated in a foreign currency,

(2)  would be described in subparagraph d of the first paragraph of section 92.5R3 of the Regulation respecting the Taxation Act (chapter I-3, r. 1) if that subparagraph were read without reference to “, other than one described in any of subparagraphs a to c,”, or

(3)  is convertible into or exchangeable for a right in any property that is described in any of subparagraphs i to iv,

viii.  an obligation to transfer or return to another person or partnership a property identical to a particular property described in any of subparagraphs i to vii that was previously transferred or lent to the person or partnership by that other person or partnership, or

(b)  it is reasonable to conclude that, if there is more than one property, obligation or liability, each of them is held in connection with each other;

“successor position”, in respect of a position (in this definition referred to as the “initial position”), means a particular position if

(a)  the particular position is an offsetting position in respect of a second position;

(b)  the second position was an offsetting position in respect of the initial position that was disposed of at a particular time; and

(c)  the particular position was entered into during the period that begins 30 days before, and ends 30 days after, the particular time;

“unrecognized loss”, in respect of a position of a person or partnership at a particular time in a taxation year, means the loss, if any, that would be deductible in computing the income of the person or partnership for the year with respect to the position if it were disposed of immediately before the particular time for proceeds of disposition equal to its fair market value at the time of disposition;

“unrecognized profit”, in respect of a position of a person or partnership at a particular time in a taxation year, means the profit, if any, that would be included in computing the income of the person or partnership for the year with respect to the position if it were disposed of immediately before the particular time for proceeds of disposition equal to its fair market value at the time of disposition.;

2020, c. 16, s. 46.

175.12. Subject to section 175.13, the rule set out in the second paragraph applies in respect of the disposition of a particular position by a person or partnership (in this section and sections 175.13 and 175.15 referred to as the “transferor”), if

(a)  the disposition is not a deemed disposition under any of Divisions I to III of Chapter III of Title VII, section 653, Chapter I of Title I.1 of Book VI or section 832.1 or 999.1;

(b)  the transferor is not a financial institution (within the meaning of section 851.22.1), a mutual fund corporation or a mutual fund trust; and

(c)  the particular position was, immediately before its disposition, not a capital property, or an obligation or liability on account of capital, of the transferor.

Where the conditions of the first paragraph are met in respect of the disposition of a particular position by a transferor, the portion of the transferor’s loss, if any, from the disposition of the particular position that is deductible in computing the transferor’s income for a particular taxation year is equal to the amount determined by the formula

A + B − C.

In the formula in the second paragraph,

(a)  A is

i.  if the particular taxation year is the taxation year in which the disposition occurs, the amount of the loss determined with reference to section 175.9 but without reference to this section, and

ii.  in any other taxation year, nil;

(b)  B is

i.  if the disposition occurred in a taxation year preceding the particular taxation year, the amount determined under subparagraph c in respect of the disposition for the taxation year preceding the particular taxation year, and

ii.  in any other case, nil; and

(c)  C is the lesser of

i.  the amount determined under subparagraph a for the taxation year in which the disposition occurs, and

ii.  the amount determined by the formula

D − (E + F).

In the formula in subparagraph ii of subparagraph c of the third paragraph,

(a)  D is the aggregate of all amounts each of which is equal to the amount of unrecognized profit at the end of the particular taxation year in respect of

i.  the particular position,

ii.  positions that are offsetting positions in respect of the particular position or those that would be such offsetting positions, to the extent that there is no successor position in respect of the particular position, if the particular position continued to be held by the transferor,

iii.  successor positions in respect of the particular position, and

iv.  positions that are offsetting positions in respect of any successor position referred to in subparagraph iii or those that would be such offsetting positions if any such successor position continued to be held by the transferor;

(b)  E is the aggregate of all amounts each of which is equal to the amount of unrecognized loss at the end of the particular taxation year in respect of positions referred to in subparagraphs i to iv of subparagraph a; and

(c)  F is the aggregate of all amounts each of which is equal to the amount determined by the formula

G − H.

In the formula in subparagraph c of the fourth paragraph,

(a)  G is the amount determined under subparagraph a of the third paragraph for the taxation year in which the disposition occurs in respect of another position that was disposed of prior to the disposition of the particular position, if

i.  the particular position was a successor position in respect of the other position, and

ii.  the other position was

(1)  an offsetting position in respect of the particular position,

(2)  an offsetting position in respect of a position in respect of which the particular position was a successor position, or

(3)  the particular position; and

(b)  H is the aggregate of all amounts each of which is, in respect of another position described in subparagraph a, an amount determined under the second paragraph for the particular taxation year or a preceding taxation year.

For the purposes of subparagraph iii of subparagraph a of the fourth paragraph, subparagraph i of subparagraph a of the fifth paragraph and subparagraph 2 of subparagraph ii of that subparagraph a, a successor position in respect of a position includes a successor position that is in respect of a successor position in respect of the position.

2020, c. 16, s. 46.

175.13. Section 175.12 does not apply in respect of a particular position of a transferor if

(a)  the following conditions are met:

i.  either the particular position, or the offsetting position in respect of the particular position, consists of

(1)  commodities that the holder of the position manufactures, produces, grows, extracts or processes, or

(2)  debt that the holder of the position incurs in the course of a business that consists of one or any combination of the activities described in subparagraph 1, and

ii.  it can reasonably be considered that the position not described in subparagraph i—the particular position if the position that is described in subparagraph i is the offsetting position, or the offsetting position if the position that is described in that subparagraph i is the particular position—is held to reduce the risk, with respect to the position described in subparagraph i, from

(1)  in the case of a position described in subparagraph i that consists of commodities described in subparagraph 1 of that subparagraph i, price changes or fluctuations in the value of currency with respect to such commodities, or

(2)  in the case of a position described in subparagraph i that consists of a debt described in subparagraph 2 of that subparagraph i, fluctuations in interest rates or in the value of currency with respect to the debt;

(b)  the transferor or a connected person (in this subparagraph referred to as the “holder”) continues to hold a position—that would be an offsetting position in respect of the particular position if the particular position continued to be held by the transferor—throughout a 30‑day period beginning on the date of disposition of the particular position, and at no time during the period

i.  is the holder’s risk of loss or opportunity for gain or profit with respect to the position reduced in any material respect by another position entered into or disposed of by the holder, or

ii.  would the holder’s risk of loss or opportunity for gain or profit with respect to the position be reduced in any material respect by another position entered into or disposed of by a connected person, if the other position were entered into or disposed of by the holder; or

(c)  it can reasonably be considered that none of the main purposes of the series of transactions or events, or any of the transactions or events in the series, of which the holding of both the particular position and offsetting position are part, is to avoid, reduce or defer tax that would otherwise be payable under this Act.

2020, c. 16, s. 46.

175.14. For the purposes of this division,

(a)  if a position of a person or partnership is not a property of the person or partnership, the person or partnership is deemed

i.  to hold the position at any time while it is a position of the person or partnership, and

ii.  to have disposed of the position when the position is settled or extinguished in respect of the person or partnership;

(b)  the disposition of a position is deemed to include the disposition of a portion of the position;

(c)  a first position held by one or more persons or partnerships referred to in paragraph a of the definition of “offsetting position” in section 175.11 is deemed to be an offsetting position in respect of a particular position of a person or partnership if

i.  there is a high degree of negative correlation between changes in value of the first position and that of the particular position, and

ii.  it can reasonably be considered that the principal purpose of the series of transactions or events, or any of the transactions in the series, of which the holding of both the first position and the particular position are part, is to avoid, reduce or defer tax that would otherwise be payable under this Act; and

(d)  one or more positions held by one or more persons or partnerships referred to in paragraph a of the definition of “offsetting position” in section 175.11 are deemed to be a successor position in respect of a particular position of a person or partnership if

i.  a portion of the particular position was disposed of at a particular time,

ii.  the position is, or the positions include, as the case may be, a position that consists of the portion of the particular position that was not disposed of (in this paragraph referred to as the “remaining portion of the particular position”),

iii.  where there is more than one position, any position that does not consist of the remaining portion of the particular position was entered into during the period that begins 30 days before, and ends 30 days after, the particular time referred to in subparagraph i,

iv.  the position is, or the positions taken together would be, as the case may be, an offsetting position in respect of a second position (within the meaning assigned by the definition of “successor position” in section 175.11),

v.  the second position described in subparagraph iv was an offsetting position in respect of the particular position, and

vi.  it can reasonably be considered that the principal purpose of the series of transactions or events, or any of the transactions in the series, of which the disposition of a portion of the particular position and the holding of one or more positions are part, is to avoid, reduce or defer tax that would otherwise be payable under this Act.

2020, c. 16, s. 46.

175.15. The presumption provided for in the second paragraph applies where

(a)  at any time in a particular taxation year of a transferor, a position referred to in any of subparagraphs ii to iv of subparagraph a of the fourth paragraph of section 175.12 (in this section referred to as the “gain position”) is held by a connected person;

(b)  the connected person disposes of the gain position in the particular taxation year; and

(c)  the taxation year of the connected person in which the disposition referred to in subparagraph b occurs ends after the end of the particular taxation year.

Where the conditions of the first paragraph are met, the portion of the profit, if any, realized from the disposition of the gain position referred to in subparagraph b of the first paragraph that is determined by the following formula is deemed, for the purposes of the definition of “unrecognized profit” in section 175.11 and the second paragraph of section 175.12, to be unrecognized profit in respect of the gain position until the end of the taxation year of the connected person in which the disposition occurs:

A × B / C.

In the formula in the second paragraph,

(a)  A is the amount of the profit otherwise determined;

(b)  B is the number of days in the taxation year of the connected person in which the disposition referred to in subparagraph b of the first paragraph occurs that are after the end of the particular taxation year; and

(c)  C is the total number of days in the taxation year of the connected person in which the disposition referred to in subparagraph b of the first paragraph occurs.

2020, c. 16, s. 46.

(a)  the vendor may deduct and the buyer must include, in computing their income for the taxation year, an amount equal to the excess of the face value of the debts so sold, other than debts in respect of which a deduction has already been made under section 141 by the vendor over the consideration paid by the purchaser for such debts;

(b)  for the purposes of sections 140 and 141, the debts so sold are deemed to have been included in computing the income of the purchaser for the taxation year or a previous year, but the latter shall not make any deduction under section 141 respecting a debt in respect of which the vendor has previously made a deduction;

(c)  for the purposes of paragraph i of section 87 the purchaser is deemed to have himself deducted the amount deducted by the vendor under section 141 in computing his income for a previous year in respect of any of the debts sold.

(b)  the spouse or corporation, as the case may be, is deemed to have acquired the property at a cost equal to those proceeds; and

(c)  for the purposes of sections 93 to 104, Chapter III of Title III and any regulations enacted under paragraph a of section 130, if the amount that was the capital cost to the individual of the property exceeds the amount determined under section 436 to be the cost to the person that acquired the property,

i.  the capital cost to the person of the property is deemed to be the amount that was the capital cost to the individual of the property, and

192. This Part, except section 985, applies to a State body or a federal Crown body, unless otherwise provided by the regulations.

Notwithstanding any other provision of this Part, a prescribed body and any corporation controlled by it are deemed not to be private corporations.

1972, c. 23, s. 181; 1977, c. 5, s. 14; 1980, c. 13, s. 13; 1987, c. 21, s. 14; 1997, c. 3, s. 22; 1998, c. 16, s. 101; 2000, c. 5, s. 47.

1972, c. 23, s. 182; 1997, c. 3, s. 22; 1998, c. 16, s. 102; 2000, c. 5, s. 49.

DIVISION II.1 EMISSION ALLOWANCES

2019, c. 14, s. 90.

193.1. Despite sections 83 to 85.6, for the purpose of computing a taxpayer’s income from a business, an emission allowance must be valued at the cost at which the taxpayer acquired it.

2019, c. 14, s. 90.

193.2. Where a taxpayer that owns one emission allowance, or two or more identical emission allowances, acquires, at a particular time, one or more other emission allowances (in this section referred to as “newly-acquired emission allowances”), each of which is identical to each of the previously-acquired emission allowances, the following rules apply for the purpose of computing, at any subsequent time, the cost to the taxpayer of each of the identical emission allowances:

(a)  the taxpayer is deemed to have disposed of each of the previously-acquired emission allowances immediately before the particular time for proceeds of disposition equal to its cost to the taxpayer immediately before the particular time; and

(b)  the taxpayer is deemed to have acquired each of the identical emission allowances at the particular time at a cost equal to the amount determined by the formula

(A + B)/C.

In the formula in the first paragraph,

(a)  A is the total cost to the taxpayer immediately before the particular time of the previously-acquired emission allowances;

(b)  B is the total cost to the taxpayer (determined without reference to this division) of the newly-acquired emission allowances; and

(c)  C is the number of identical emission allowances owned by the taxpayer immediately after the particular time.

For the purposes of this section, emission allowances are considered identical if they can be used to settle the same emission obligations.

2019, c. 14, s. 90.

193.3. Despite any other provision of this Act, in computing a taxpayer’s income from a business for a taxation year, the total amount deductible in respect of a particular emission obligation for the year is not to exceed the amount determined by the formula

A + (B × C).

In the formula in the first paragraph,

(a)  A is the total cost of emission allowances either

i.  used by the taxpayer to settle the particular emission obligation in the year, or

ii.  held by the taxpayer at the end of the year that can be used to satisfy the particular emission obligation in respect of the year;

(b)  B is the amount determined by the formula

D − (E + F); and

(c)  C is the fair market value of an emission allowance at the end of the year that could be used to satisfy the particular emission obligation in respect of the year.

In the formula in subparagraph b of the second paragraph,

(a)  D is the number of emission allowances required to satisfy the particular emission obligation in respect of the year;

(b)  E is the number of emission allowances used by the taxpayer to settle the particular emission obligation in the year; and

(c)  F is the number of emission allowances held by the taxpayer at the end of the year that can be used to satisfy the particular emission obligation in respect of the year.

2019, c. 14, s. 90.

193.4. The amount deducted by a taxpayer in computing the taxpayer’s income from a business for a particular taxation year, in respect of an emission obligation referred to in section 193.3, must be included in computing the taxpayer’s income from the business for the subsequent taxation year, to the extent that the emission obligation was not settled in the particular taxation year.

2019, c. 14, s. 90.

193.5. If a taxpayer surrenders an emission allowance to settle an emission obligation, the taxpayer’s proceeds from the disposition of the emission allowance are deemed to be equal to the taxpayer’s cost of the emission allowance.

2019, c. 14, s. 90.

193.6. Despite section 193.1, each emission allowance held at the end of a taxpayer’s taxation year that ends immediately before the time at which the taxpayer is subject to a loss restriction event is to be valued at the cost at which the taxpayer acquired the property, or its fair market value at the end of the year, whichever is lower, and after that time the cost at which the taxpayer acquired the property is, subject to a subsequent application of section 193.2 and this section, deemed to be equal to that lower amount.

2019, c. 14, s. 90.

DIVISION III FARMING BUSINESSES

1972, c. 23.

194. A taxpayer shall compute income from a farming business or fishing business for a taxation year in accordance with the cash method, by which the income from the business is deemed to be equal to the aggregate determined in the second paragraph minus the aggregate determined in the third paragraph, if the taxpayer makes, in relation to the year, a valid election under subsection 1 of section 28 of the Income Tax Act (R.S.C. 1985, c. 1 (5th Suppl.)) after 19 December 2006 of the method provided for in that subsection 1 for computing the taxpayer’s income from a farming business or fishing business.

The first aggregate referred to in the first paragraph in respect of a farming business or fishing business for a taxation year is equal to the total of the following amounts:

(a)  all amounts received in the year or deemed by this Part to have been received in the year, in the course of carrying on the business described in the first paragraph, in payment of or on account of an amount that would be included in computing income from the business for that or any other taxation year if that income were not computed in accordance with this cash method;

(b)  in respect of a farming business, the amount specified by the taxpayer in respect of the business in his fiscal return filed under this Part for the year, not exceeding the amount by which the fair market value, at the end of the year, of inventory owned by him at that time in connection with the business exceeds the amount determined under subparagraph c for the year;

(c)  in respect of a farming business, the amount equal to the lesser of

i.  the taxpayer’s loss from the business for the year, computed without reference to this subparagraph and to subparagraph b, and

ii.  the value of inventory purchased by the taxpayer and owned by him in connection with the business at the end of the year;

(d)  the aggregate of all amounts each of which is an amount included in computing the taxpayer’s income for the year from the business because of section 94 or 485.13, the second paragraph of section 487 or section 487.0.3.

The second aggregate referred to in the first paragraph in respect of a farming business or fishing business for a taxation year is equal to the total of the following amounts:

(a)  all amounts, other than an amount described in section 198, that were paid in the year, or are deemed by this Part to have been paid in the year, in the course of carrying on the business,

i.  in the case of amounts paid, or deemed by this Part to have been paid, for the inventory relating to the business, in payment of or on account of an amount that would be deductible in computing the income from the business for the year or any other taxation year if that income were not computed in accordance with this cash method, and

ii.  in any other case, in payment of or on account of an amount that would be deductible in computing the income from the business for a preceding taxation year, the year or the following taxation year if that income were not computed in accordance with this cash method;

(a.1)  all amounts, other than an amount described in section 198, that would be deductible in computing the income from the business for the year if that income were not computed in accordance with this cash method, that are not deductible in computing the income from the business for any other taxation year, and that were paid in a preceding taxation year in the course of carrying on the business;

(b)  the aggregate of all amounts each of which is an amount included under subparagraph b or c of the second paragraph in computing the taxpayer’s income from the business for the preceding taxation year;

(c)  the aggregate of all amounts each of which is an amount deducted for the year under paragraph a of section 130, section 130.1, paragraph t of section 157, section 198, the first paragraph of section 487 or section 487.0.2 in respect of the business.

If a farming business or fishing business is carried on by several persons, an election referred to in the first paragraph is not valid for any of those persons in respect of the business unless each of them makes such an election in respect of the business.

Subparagraphs b and c of the second paragraph do not apply in computing the income of the taxpayer for the taxation year in which he died.

Chapter V.2 of Title II of Book I applies in relation to an election made under subsection 1 of section 28 of the Income Tax Act or in relation to an election made under this section before 20 December 2006.

(a)  the taxpayer is deemed to have purchased the inventory at the time it was so acquired,

(b)  the taxpayer is deemed to have paid at that time, in the course of carrying on that business, an amount equal to the cost to him of the inventory, and

Notwithstanding the first paragraph, an animal, in this section and in section 194 referred to as a “specified animal”, that is a horse or, where the taxpayer so elects in respect thereof for the taxation year that includes the time referred to in the first paragraph or for any preceding taxation year, is a bovine animal registered under the Animal Pedigree Act (Revised Statutes of Canada, 1985, chapter 8, 4th Supplement) shall be valued

(a)  at any time in the taxation year in which the specified animal is acquired, at such amount as is designated by the taxpayer not exceeding its cash cost and not less than 70% of that cost;

(b)  at any time in any subsequent taxation year, at such amount as is designated by the taxpayer not exceeding its cash cost and not less than 70% of the aggregate of its value determined under this section at the end of the preceding taxation year, and the total amount paid on account of the purchase price of the animal during the year.

1990, c. 59, s. 108; 1993, c. 16, s. 100.

194.3. For each taxation year that is less than 51 weeks, the references to “70” in subparagraphs a and b of the second paragraph of section 194.2 shall read as references to the number determined by the formula

100 − (30 × A / 365).

For the purposes of the formula set forth in the first paragraph, A is the number of days in the taxation year referred to therein.

1990, c. 59, s. 108.

195. If a taxpayer has used, for a taxation year, in respect of a farming business or fishing business, the cash method provided for in section 194 because of an election referred to in the first paragraph of that section made in relation to the year, the income from the business for a subsequent taxation year must be computed in accordance with the same method, subject to the other provisions of this Part, unless the taxpayer makes a valid election under subsection 3 of section 28 of the Income Tax Act (R.S.C. 1985, c. 1 (5th Suppl.)) after 19 December 2006 of a method other than the method provided for in subsection 1 of section 28 of that Act, in which case that income must instead be computed in accordance with that other method.

Any condition determined by the Minister of National Revenue for the election referred to in the first paragraph made under subsection 3 of section 28 of the Income Tax Act applies, with the necessary modifications, in computing the income from the farming business or fishing business.

Chapter V.2 of Title II of Book I applies in relation to an election made under subsection 3 of section 28 of the Income Tax Act or in relation to an election made under this section before 20 December 2006.

1972, c. 23, s. 186.

198. A taxpayer may deduct in computing his income from a farming business for a taxation year any amount paid by him before the end of the year for clearing land, levelling land or installing a land drainage system for the purposes of the business, to the extent that such amount has not been deducted in computing his income for a preceding taxation year.

DIVISION IV BASIC HERD

1972, c. 23.

199. The rules set out in this division apply if a taxpayer who has a basic herd of a particular class of animals and disposes of an animal of that class in carrying on a farming business in a taxation year makes, in relation to that year, a valid election under subsection 1 of section 29 of the Income Tax Act (R.S.C. 1985, c. 1 (5th Suppl.)) after 19 December 2006 in relation to that business.

Chapter V.2 of Title II of Book I applies in relation to an election made under subsection 1 of section 29 of the Income Tax Act or in relation to an election made under this section before 20 December 2006.

1972, c. 23, s. 188; 2009, c. 5, s. 70.

200. In the case of a disposition referred to in the first paragraph of section 199 of an animal of a class, the taxpayer shall deduct

(a)  in counting the taxpayer’s basic herd of that class at the end of the year, the least of the number the taxpayer designates in relation to the basic herd, under paragraph a of subsection 1 of section 29 of the Income Tax Act (R.S.C. 1985, c. 1 (5th Suppl.)), in the election referred to in the first paragraph of section 199, the taxpayer’s basic herd of that class of animals at the end of the preceding taxation year, the number of animals of that class disposed of by the taxpayer in the year, and one-tenth of the taxpayer’s basic herd of that class on 31 December 1971; and

(b)  in computing his income from the farming business for the taxation year, the product obtained by multiplying the number determined under paragraph a by the quotient obtained when the fair market value on 31 December 1971 of such animals of that class is divided by the number of such animals of that class on that day.

1972, c. 23, s. 189; 2009, c. 5, s. 71.

201. Where the basic herd of a class at the end of the year preceding the taxation year minus the deduction required at the end of the year under paragraph a of section 200 exceeds the number of animals of that class owned by the taxpayer at the end of the year, he shall deduct:

(a)  in computing his basic herd of that class at the end of the year, the number of animals comprising the excess, and

(b)  in computing his income from the farming business for the taxation year, the product obtained by multiplying the number of animals determined under paragraph a by the quotient obtained when the fair market value of the animals of that class on 31 December 1971 is divided by the number of the animals of that class on the same day.

1972, c. 23, s. 190.

202. In this division:

(a)  a taxpayer’s “basic herd” of any class of animals at a particular time means such number of the animals of that class that he had on hand at the end of his 1971 taxation year as were, for the purpose of assessing his tax for that year, accepted by the Minister, on an application by the taxpayer, to be capital properties minus the number of animals required under this division to be deducted in computing his basic herd of that class at the end of the taxation years before the particular time;

(b)  “class of animals” means animals of one of the following species: cattle, horses, sheep or swine, if they are:

i.  purebred animals of that species for which a certificate of registration has been issued by a person recognized by the breeders in Canada of purebred animals of that species to be the registrar of the breed to which such animals belong, or issued by the Registrar of the Canadian National Livestock Records, or

ii.  animals of that species other than purebred animals described in subparagraph i.

1972, c. 23, s. 191; 1973, c. 17, s. 18; 1997, c. 14, s. 290.

203. Each group of animals contemplated in subparagraphs i and ii of paragraph b of section 202 is deemed to be of a separate class, unless the number of animals of the same species described in one of those subparagraphs is not greater than 10 per cent of the total number of the animals of that species. In this case, all such animals together are deemed to be of a single class.

1972, c. 23, s. 192.

204. In determining the number of animals of any class on hand at any time, the taxpayer shall include neither an animal acquired for a feeder operation, nor animals of the same class whose age is less than two years for cattle, three years for horses or one year for sheep or swine; in the case of an animal whose age is less than such ages two of such animals of the same class shall be counted as one.

1972, c. 23, s. 193.

DIVISION V CERTAIN FARMING LOSSES

1972, c. 23.

205. Where a taxpayer’s chief source of income for a taxation year is neither farming nor a combination of farming and some other source of income that is a subordinate source of income for the taxpayer, the loss from all farming businesses carried on by the taxpayer is deemed to be the aggregate of

(a)  the lesser of the following amounts:

i.  the amount by which the aggregate of the taxpayer’s losses, determined without reference to this division and before any deduction under sections 222 to 230, from all farming businesses carried on by the taxpayer during the year exceeds the aggregate of the taxpayer’s incomes, so determined, of the same nature for the same year, and

ii.  $2,500 plus the lesser of $15,000 and one-half of the amount by which the amount determined under subparagraph i exceeds $2,500; and

(b)  the amount by which the amount that would be computed under subparagraph i of paragraph a, if subparagraph i were read without reference to “and before any deduction under sections 222 to 230”, exceeds the amount computed under that subparagraph.

1972, c. 23, s. 194; 1973, c. 17, s. 19; 1980, c. 13, s. 14; 1990, c. 59, s. 110; 2000, c. 5, s. 51; 2015, c. 36, s. 12.

206. Section 205 does not apply to a taxpayer for a taxation year if the taxpayer’s chief source of income for the year is a combination of farming and manufacturing or processing in Canada of goods for sale and all or substantially all output from all farming businesses carried on by the taxpayer is used in the manufacturing or processing.

1972, c. 23, s. 195; 2015, c. 36, s. 12.

207. For the purposes of this Part, a taxpayer’s restricted farm loss for a taxation year is the amount by which the amount determined under subparagraph i of paragraph a of section 205 in respect of the taxpayer for the year exceeds the aggregate of the amount determined under subparagraph ii of that paragraph a in respect of the taxpayer for the year and all amounts each of which is an amount by which the taxpayer’s restricted farm loss for the year is required to be reduced because of sections 485 to 485.18.

1972, c. 23, s. 196; 1973, c. 17, s. 20; 1996, c. 39, s. 57.

1972, c. 23; 1989, c. 48, s. 257.

208. In computing the income of a taxpayer from the taxpayer’s business as an insurance agent or broker, there may be deducted, as a reserve in respect of unearned commissions from that business, only an amount equal to the lesser of

(a)  the aggregate of all amounts each of which is that proportion of an amount that has been included in computing the taxpayer’s income for the year or a previous year as a commission in respect of an insurance contract other than a life insurance contract, that the number of days in the period provided for in the insurance contract that fall after the end of the taxation year is of the total number of days in that period, and

(b)  the aggregate of all amounts each of which is the amount that would, but for this section, be deductible under section 150 for the year in respect of a commission referred to in paragraph a.

1972, c. 23, s. 197; 1989, c. 48, s. 257; 1993, c. 16, s. 103; 1994, c. 22, s. 119.

1972, c. 23, s. 198; 1989, c. 48, s. 257.

209.0.1. In computing the income of a taxpayer for a taxation year ending after 31 December 1990 from a business carried on by the taxpayer throughout the year as an insurance agent or broker, there may be deducted as an additional reserve in respect of unearned commissions an amount not exceeding

For the purposes of section 209, any amount deducted by the taxpayer under the first paragraph for a taxation year is deemed to have been deducted for that year pursuant to section 208.

1993, c. 16, s. 104; 1994, c. 22, s. 120.

209.1. A taxpayer who makes contributions to an employee benefit plan in respect of his employees or former employees may deduct, in computing his income for a taxation year, the amount allocated to him for the year under section 209.3 by the custodian of the plan that does not, however, exceed the amount by which the aggregate of all contributions made by him to the plan for the year or a preceding year exceeds the aggregate of all amounts deducted by him, in respect of the plan, in computing his income for a preceding year and all amounts received by him in the year or a preceding year as a return of his contributions to the plan.

1982, c. 5, s. 51; 1991, c. 25, s. 176.

209.2. A taxpayer contemplated in section 209.1 may also deduct, where at the end of the year all of the obligations of the plan to his employees and former employees have been satisfied and no property of the plan will thereafter be paid or otherwise be available for the benefit of the taxpayer, the amount equal to the amount by which the aggregate of the contributions paid by him to the plan for the year or a preceding year exceeds the aggregate of all amounts deducted by him in respect of the plan in computing his income for a preceding year or, under section 209.1, for the year, and all amounts received by him in the year or a preceding year as a return of his contributions to the plan.

209.4. For the purposes of section 209.3, the income of an employee benefit plan for a year is the aggregate of all amounts each of which is the amount by which a payment under the plan by the custodian thereof in the year exceeds, in the case of an annuity, that part of the payment determined in prescribed manner to have been a return of capital and, in any other case, that part of the payment that could, but for sections 47.1 and 47.2, reasonably be regarded as being a payment of a capital nature.

Despite the first paragraph, in the case of a plan that is a trust, the income of the plan for a year is the amount that would be its income for the year but for sections 652, 653 to 657.3, 659, 663 to 663.2, 664, 666 to 668.3, 671 to 671.4, 680 and 681.

(k)  where in the course of administering the estate of a deceased taxpayer, a capital loss from a disposition of property by the legal representative of the deceased taxpayer is deemed under paragraph a of section 1054 to be a capital loss of the deceased taxpayer from the disposition of property by the taxpayer in the taxpayer’s last taxation year and not to be a capital loss of the estate, the capital loss is deemed to be from the disposition of a property by the taxpayer immediately before the taxpayer’s death ;

(a)  the disposition of a cultural property described in the third paragraph, the disposition of the bare ownership of such property made in the course of a recognized gift with reserve of usufruct or use or the disposition of a musical instrument resulting from a gift described in paragraph e of section 710 or in the definition of “total musical instrument gifts” in the first paragraph of section 752.0.10.1; or

(b)  a deemed disposition, by reason of the application of Division III of Chapter III of Title VII, of a property referred to in subparagraph a of a taxpayer, where the property is the subject of a gift in respect of which section 752.0.10.10.0.1 applies and that gift is made by the taxpayer’s succession to a donee that would be one of the following donees if the disposition were made at the time the succession makes the gift:

232.1. A business investment loss arises from the disposition after 31 December 1977 of any property that is a share of the capital stock of a small business corporation or a debt owing by such a corporation or by a particular corporation described in the third paragraph, other than a debt disposed of by a corporation which is owed to the latter by a corporation with which it does not deal at arm’s length.

However, the disposition of property gives rise to a business investment loss only if section 299 applies to the disposition or if the disposition of property is made by a taxpayer in favour of a person with whom he deals at arm’s length.

The particular corporation referred to in the first paragraph is a Canadian-controlled private corporation that is

(a)  a bankrupt that was a small business corporation at the time it last became a bankrupt, or

(b)  a corporation referred to in section 6 of the Winding-up Act (Revised Statutes of Canada, 1985, chapter W-11) that was insolvent, within the meaning of the said Act, and was a small business corporation at the time a winding-up order under the said Act was made in its respect.

232.1.1. For the purposes of sections 232.1 and 236.1, the expression “small business corporation” at any particular time includes a corporation that was at any time in the 12 months preceding that time a small business corporation.

1988, c. 18, s. 14; 1997, c. 3, s. 71.

232.1.2. For the purposes of sections 232.1 and 236.1, where an amount in respect of a debt owed by a corporation has been paid by a taxpayer to a person with whom the taxpayer was dealing at arm’s length pursuant to an arrangement under which the taxpayer guaranteed the debt, and the corporation was a small business corporation at the time the debt was incurred and at any time in the 12 months before the time an amount first became payable by the taxpayer under the arrangement in respect of a debt owed by the corporation, that part of the amount that is owing to the taxpayer by the corporation is deemed to be a debt owing to the taxpayer by a small business corporation.

1993, c. 16, s. 109; 1997, c. 3, s. 71.

233. An amount shall not constitute a capital gain, a capital loss or a business investment loss to the extent that it must otherwise be included or may otherwise be deducted in computing the income of the taxpayer for the year or any other year.

1972, c. 23, s. 220; 1979, c. 18, s. 17.

234. Unless otherwise provided in this Part, the gain from the disposition of property shall be computed by subtracting from the proceeds of disposition the aggregate of

(a)  the adjusted cost base of that property immediately before the disposition and the expenses made or incurred by the taxpayer for the purpose of making the disposition; and

(b)  subject to section 234.1, an amount as a reserve that is equal to the least of

i.  a reasonable amount as a reserve in respect of the portion of the proceeds of disposition of the property that is payable to the taxpayer after the end of the year and that can reasonably be regarded as a portion of the amount by which the proceeds of disposition of the property exceed the aggregate of the amounts referred to in subparagraph a in respect of the property,

ii.  an amount equal to the product obtained by multiplying 1/5 of the amount by which the proceeds of disposition of the property exceed the aggregate of the amounts referred to in subparagraph a in respect of the property by the amount by which four exceeds the number of preceding taxation years of the taxpayer ending after the disposition of the property, and

iii.  the amount allowed as a deduction for the year under subparagraph iii of paragraph a of subsection 1 of section 40 of the Income Tax Act (R.S.C. 1985, c. 1 (5th Suppl.)) in computing, for the purposes of that Act, the taxpayer’s gain for the year from that disposition or, if the amount that is so allowed as a deduction is equal to the maximum amount that the taxpayer may claim as a deduction in that computation under that subparagraph iii in respect of the disposition, the amount that the taxpayer specifies and that is not less than that maximum amount.

In each subsequent year, the taxpayer shall regard as a gain the amount of the reserve established under subparagraph b of the first paragraph for the preceding year and claim an amount as a new reserve, without exceeding the amount of that gain, computed in accordance with that paragraph.

Sections 21.4.6 and 21.4.7 apply, with the necessary modifications, in relation to a deduction claimed under subparagraph iii of paragraph a of subsection 1 of section 40 of the Income Tax Act.

1972, c. 23, s. 221; 1975, c. 22, s. 36; 1984, c. 15, s. 54; 1996, c. 39, s. 63; 1997, c. 14, s. 52; 1997, c. 85, s. 57; 2010, c. 5, s. 25.

234.0.1. A taxpayer’s gain for a particular taxation year from a disposition of a non-qualifying security of the taxpayer, as defined in the first paragraph of section 752.0.10.1, that is the making of a gift of the security, other than an excepted gift within the meaning assigned by that paragraph, to a qualified donee is equal to the amount by which

(a)  an amount equal to

i.  where the disposition occurred in the particular taxation year, the amount by which the taxpayer’s proceeds of disposition exceed the aggregate of the adjusted cost base to the taxpayer of the security immediately before the disposition and any outlays and expenses made or incurred by the taxpayer for the purpose of making the disposition, and

ii.  where the disposition occurred in the 60-month period ending at the beginning of the particular taxation year, the amount, if any, deducted under paragraph b in computing the taxpayer’s gain for the preceding taxation year from the disposition of the security; exceeds

(b)  the amount that the taxpayer claims as a deduction in the prescribed form filed with the taxpayer’s fiscal return for the particular taxation year, not exceeding the eligible amount of the gift, if the taxpayer is not deemed under section 752.0.10.16 to have made a gift of a property before the end of the particular taxation year as a consequence of a disposition of the security by the donee or as a consequence of the security ceasing to be a non-qualifying security of the taxpayer before the end of that year.

1999, c. 83, s. 49; 2003, c. 2, s. 70; 2009, c. 5, s. 78.

234.0.2. Where, in respect of a taxation year, an individual has made an election under section 1086.28, the amount deemed to be a capital gain under subparagraph b of the first paragraph of that section is deemed to be a gain from the disposition of property for the year.

2011, c. 34, s. 26.

234.1. In computing the amount that a taxpayer may deduct as a reserve under subparagraph b of the first paragraph of section 234 in computing the taxpayer’s gain from the disposition of a property, that subparagraph is to be read as if “1/5” and “4” were replaced by “1/10” and “9”, respectively, if

(a)  the property was disposed of by the taxpayer to the taxpayer’s child;

(b)  that child was resident in Canada immediately before the disposition; and

(c)  that property was, immediately before the disposition,

i.  land in Canada or a depreciable property in Canada of a prescribed class that was used by the taxpayer or the spouse, a child or the father or mother of the taxpayer in carrying on a farming or fishing business in Canada,

ii.  a share of the capital stock of a family farm or fishing corporation of the taxpayer, within the meaning of subparagraph a.2 of the first paragraph of section 451, or an interest in a family farm or fishing partnership of the taxpayer, within the meaning of subparagraph h of that paragraph, or

iii.  a qualified small business corporation share of the taxpayer within the meaning of section 726.6.1, or

iv.  (subparagraph repealed).

1984, c. 15, s. 55; 1987, c. 67, s. 56; 1997, c. 3, s. 71; 1997, c. 14, s. 53; 2004, c. 8, s. 44; 2007, c. 12, s. 43; 2010, c. 5, s. 26; 2017, c. 29, s. 55.

235. A taxpayer may not deduct the reserve established under section 234 for a taxation year if

(a)  at the end of the year or at any time in the following taxation year, the taxpayer is not resident in Canada or is exempt from tax under this Part;

(b)  the purchaser of the property sold is a corporation that, immediately after the sale,

i.  is controlled, directly or indirectly, in any manner whatever, by the taxpayer,

ii.  is controlled, directly or indirectly, in any manner whatever, by a person or group of persons by whom the taxpayer is controlled, directly or indirectly, in any manner whatever, or

iii.  if the taxpayer is a corporation, controls the taxpayer, directly or indirectly, in any manner whatever; or

(c)  the purchaser of the property sold is a partnership in which the taxpayer is, immediately after the sale, a majority-interest partner.

1975, c. 22, s. 37; 1990, c. 59, s. 113; 1997, c. 3, s. 71; 2009, c. 5, s. 79; 2010, c. 5, s. 27.

236. The loss from the disposition of a property shall be computed by subtracting the proceeds of disposition of that property from the aggregate of the adjusted cost base of such property immediately before the disposition and the expenses made or incurred by the taxpayer for the purposes of the disposition.

1972, c. 23, s. 222.

236.1. A business investment loss, in the case of a share referred to in the first paragraph of section 232.1, is computed by subtracting from the loss determined in accordance with this Title the amount that must be added after 1977 by virtue of the application of paragraph b of section 535 in computing the adjusted cost base of the share or of any other share, in this paragraph referred to as a “replaced share”, for which the share or a replaced share was substituted or exchanged.

In the case of a share that is not a share that was acquired after 31 December 1971 from a person with whom the taxpayer was dealing at arm’s length, but that is a share referred to in the first paragraph of section 232.1 that was issued before 1 January 1972 or a share, in this paragraph and in the third paragraph referred to as a “substituted share”, that was substituted or exchanged for such a share issued before 1 January 1972 or for a substituted share, the aggregate of all amounts that the taxpayer, his spouse or a trust of which the taxpayer or his spouse was a beneficiary received after 31 December 1971 and before or upon the disposition of the share as a taxable dividend on the share or on any other share in respect of which the share disposed of is a substituted share or which are receivable as such by one of such persons at the time of the disposition of the share must also be deducted from the loss determined in accordance with this Title.

Furthermore, where the taxpayer is a trust for which a day is to be, or has been, determined under subparagraph a or a.4 of the first paragraph of section 653 by reference to a death or later death, as the case may be, and the share is a share referred to in the second paragraph, the aggregate of all amounts each of which is an amount received after 31 December 1971 or receivable at the time of the disposition, as a taxable dividend on the share or on any other share in respect of which the share disposed of is a substituted share, by an individual whose death is that death or later death, as the case may be, or the individual’s spouse must also be deducted from the loss determined in accordance with this Title.

Lastly, a business investment loss is computed by subtracting the amount determined in respect of the taxpayer under section 264.4 or 264.5, as the case may be.

1979, c. 18, s. 18; 1980, c. 13, s. 17; 1982, c. 5, s. 55; 1986, c. 19, s. 41; 1987, c. 67, s. 57; 1994, c. 22, s. 122; 1997, c. 31, s. 37; 2000, c. 5, s. 61; 2017, c. 1, s. 105.

236.2. Where the taxpayer is a corporation, its loss from the disposition at a particular time in a taxation year of shares of the capital stock of a corporation, in this section referred to as the “controlled corporation”, that was controlled, directly or indirectly in any manner whatever, by the taxpayer at any time in the year, is its loss otherwise determined from that disposition less the amount by which the amount determined in the second paragraph exceeds the aggregate of the amounts by which the taxpayer’s losses have been reduced by virtue of this section in respect of dispositions before the particular time of shares of the capital stock of the controlled corporation.

The amount to which the first paragraph refers is the aggregate of all amounts added under paragraph c.1 of section 255 to the cost to a corporation, other than the controlled corporation, of property disposed of to that corporation by the controlled corporation that were added to the cost of the property during the period while the controlled corporation was controlled by the taxpayer and that can reasonably be attributed to losses on the property that accrued during the period while the controlled corporation was controlled by the taxpayer.

1980, c. 13, s. 18; 1990, c. 59, s. 114; 1997, c. 3, s. 71; 2000, c. 5, s. 62.

236.3. For the purposes of section 236.2, where, in the case of an amalgamation within the meaning of section 544 of several corporations, a particular corporation was controlled, directly or indirectly in any manner whatever, by a predecessor corporation immediately before the amalgamation, and has become so controlled by the new corporation by virtue of the amalgamation, the new corporation is deemed to have acquired control of the particular corporation at the time control thereof was acquired by the predecessor corporation.

1980, c. 13, s. 18; 1990, c. 59, s. 114; 1997, c. 3, s. 71.

237. The loss of a taxpayer from the disposition of a particular property is not allowable where

(a)  during the period that begins 30 days before and ends 30 days after the time of disposition, the taxpayer or a person affiliated with the taxpayer acquires a property, in this section referred to as the “substituted property”, that is, or is identical to, the particular property; and

(b)  at the end of the 30 days following the time of disposition, the taxpayer or a person affiliated with the taxpayer owns or has a right to acquire the substituted property.

For the purposes of the first paragraph,

(a)  a right to acquire a property (other than a right, as security only, derived from a hypothec, mortgage, agreement of sale or similar obligation) is deemed to be a property that is identical to the property; and

(b)  a share of the capital stock of a SIFT wind-up corporation in respect of a SIFT wind-up entity is, if the share was acquired before 1 January 2013, deemed to be a property that is identical to an interest in the entity that is an investment in a SIFT wind-up entity.

1972, c. 23, s. 223; 1975, c. 22, s. 38; 1977, c. 26, s. 22; 1990, c. 59, s. 115; 1997, c. 3, s. 71; 2000, c. 5, s. 63; 2005, c. 1, s. 76; 2010, c. 25, s. 23.

238. Section 237 does not apply where the disposition is

(a)  a disposition deemed to have occurred under section 242, as it read before 1 January 1993, any of sections 281, 283, 299 to 300, 436, 440, 444, 450, 450.6 and 653, Chapter I of Title I.1 of Book VI, paragraph a or c of section 785.5 or any of sections 832.1, 851.22.0.4, 851.22.15, 851.22.23 to 851.22.31, 861, 862 and 999.1;

(b)  the expiry of an option;

(c)  a disposition referred to in section 264.0.1;

(d)  a disposition by a taxpayer that was subject to a loss restriction event within 30 days after the time of disposition;

(e)  a disposition by a person that, within 30 days after the time of disposition, became or ceased to be exempt from tax under this Part on its taxable income;

(b)  B is the aggregate of all amounts each of which is the amount by which the individual’s capital gain for a preceding taxation year, determined without reference to section 251.2, from the disposition of an interest in or a share of the capital stock of the entity was reduced under that section;

ii.  if the entity is a partnership, the aggregate of

(1)  4/3 of the aggregate of all amounts each of which is the amount by which the individual’s share of the partnership’s taxable capital gains, determined without reference to this chapter, for its fiscal period that ended before 28 February 2000 and in a preceding taxation year, was reduced under section 251.4,

(2)  4/3 of the aggregate of all amounts each of which is the amount by which the individual’s share of the partnership’s income from a business, determined without reference to this chapter, for its fiscal period that ended before 28 February 2000 and in a preceding taxation year, was reduced under section 251.5,

CHAPTER III COMPUTATION OF ADJUSTED COST BASE

1972, c. 23.

DIVISION I GENERAL RULES

1972, c. 23.

252. The adjusted cost base of any property at a particular time, where such property is depreciable property of the taxpayer, is the capital cost to the taxpayer of such property as of that time.

In all other cases, such cost shall be calculated in accordance with this chapter.

1972, c. 23, s. 234.

252.1. Where any property of the taxpayer is property that was reacquired by the taxpayer after having been previously disposed of by the taxpayer, no adjustment to the cost to the taxpayer of the property that was required to be made under this chapter before its reacquisition by the taxpayer shall be made under this chapter to the cost to the taxpayer of the property as reacquired property of the taxpayer.

The first paragraph does not apply in respect of property that is an interest in or a share of the capital stock of a flow-through entity within the meaning assigned by section 251.1 that was last reacquired by the taxpayer as a result of an election under section 726.9.2.

1996, c. 39, s. 70.

1972, c. 23, s. 235; 1996, c. 39, s. 71.

254. The adjusted cost base of the disposed part of a property, immediately before its disposition, is the portion of the adjusted cost base of the whole property which may reasonably be attributed to such part.

1972, c. 23, s. 236.

254.1. For the purposes of section 254 and Divisions II to IV, other than section 259, where a taxpayer encumbers land with a servitude in circumstances where section 710.0.2 or 752.0.10.3.2 applies, the following rules apply:

(a)  the establishment of the servitude is deemed to be a disposition under section 254 of a portion of the land so encumbered;

(b)  the portion of the adjusted cost base to the taxpayer of the land immediately before the disposition that can reasonably be considered to be attributable to the servitude is deemed to be equal to the amount determined by the formula

A × B / C; and

(c)  the cost to the taxpayer of the land shall be reduced at the time of the disposition by the amount determined under subparagraph b.

In the formula provided for in subparagraph b of the first paragraph,

(a)  A is the adjusted cost base to the taxpayer of the land immediately before the disposition;

(b)  B is the amount determined under section 710.0.2 or 752.0.10.3.2 in respect of the disposition; and

(c)  C is the fair market value of the land immediately before the disposition.

2003, c. 2, s. 85; 2006, c. 13, s. 32; 2019, c. 14, s. 102.

(a)  the establishment of the servitude is deemed to be a disposition under section 254 of a portion of the property so encumbered; and

(b)  the portion of the adjusted cost base to the individual of the property immediately before the disposition that can reasonably be considered to be attributable to the servitude is deemed to be equal to zero.

2006, c. 13, s. 33; 2007, c. 12, s. 44; 2017, c. 29, s. 56.

254.2. Notwithstanding section 254, where part of a capital interest of a taxpayer in a trust would, but for subparagraphs d and e of the second paragraph of section 248, be disposed of solely because of the satisfaction of a right to enforce payment of an amount by the trust, no part of the adjusted cost base to the taxpayer of the taxpayer’s capital interest in the trust shall be allocated to that part of the capital interest.

2003, c. 2, s. 85.

DIVISION II AMOUNTS TO BE ADDED

1972, c. 23.

261. Except where section 261.1 applies, where the aggregate of all amounts required by section 257, except paragraph l of that section, to be deducted in computing the adjusted cost base to a taxpayer of any property at any time in a taxation year exceeds the aggregate of the cost to the taxpayer of the property determined for the purpose of computing the adjusted cost base to the taxpayer of that property at that time and of all amounts required by section 255 to be added to the cost to the taxpayer of the property in computing the adjusted cost base to the taxpayer of that property at that time, the following rules apply:

(a)  subject to section 589.1, the amount of the excess is deemed to be a gain of the taxpayer for the year from the disposition at that time of the property;

(b)  for the purposes of Chapter V of Title X and sections 1102.4 and 1102.5, the taxpayer is deemed to have disposed of the property at that time; and

The amount to which subparagraph a of the first paragraph refers in respect of a member’s interest in a partnership at the end of a fiscal period of the partnership is equal to the amount by which the aggregate of all amounts required by section 257 to be deducted in computing the adjusted cost base to the member of the interest in the partnership at that time and, if the partnership is a professional partnership, the amount described in subparagraph i of paragraph l of section 257 in relation to the member in respect of the fiscal period exceeds the aggregate of

(a)  the cost to the member of the interest determined for the purpose of computing the adjusted cost base to the member of that interest at that time;

(b)  all amounts required by section 255 to be added to the cost to the member of the interest in computing the adjusted cost base to the member of that interest at that time; and

(c)  if the partnership is a professional partnership, the amount described in subparagraph i of paragraph i of section 255 in relation to the member in respect of the fiscal period.

(a)  the amount by which the aggregate of all amounts each of which is an amount deemed under section 261.1 to be a gain of the taxpayer from a disposition of the interest before the particular time exceeds the aggregate of all amounts each of which is an amount deemed under this section to be a loss of the taxpayer from a disposition of the interest before the particular time;

(b)  the adjusted cost base to the taxpayer of the interest at the particular time; and

(c)  the total of the amount for which the election is made and, if that amount is the maximum amount for which the election can be made, the amount that the taxpayer designates in respect of the interest in the taxpayer’s fiscal return filed under this Part for the taxation year that includes the particular time.

1996, c. 39, s. 78; 1997, c. 3, s. 71; 2009, c. 5, s. 91; 2017, c. 1, s. 112.

261.3. For the purpose of applying sections 255 to 258 at any time in respect of a member of a partnership who would be a member described in section 261.1 of the partnership if the fiscal period of the partnership that includes that time ended at that time, where at any time after 21 February 1994 the member of the partnership makes a contribution of capital to the partnership, the contribution is deemed not to have been made where

(a)  the partnership or a person or partnership with whom the partnership does not deal at arm’s length makes a loan to the member or to a person with whom the member does not deal at arm’s length, or pays an amount as a payment or distribution of the member’s share in the profits or capital of the partnership, or the member or a person with whom the member does not deal at arm’s length becomes indebted to the partnership or a person or partnership with whom the partnership does not deal at arm’s length; and

(b)  it is established, by subsequent events or otherwise, that the loan, payment or indebtedness was made or arose as part of a series of contributions, loans, payments or other similar transactions.

1996, c. 39, s. 78; 1997, c. 3, s. 71.

261.3.1. Where it can reasonably be considered that one of the main reasons that a member of a partnership was not a specified member of the partnership at all times since becoming a member of the partnership is to avoid the application of section 261.1 in respect of the member’s interest in the partnership, the member is deemed for the purposes of that section to have been a specified member of the partnership at all times since becoming a member of the partnership.

2000, c. 5, s. 69.

261.4. For the purposes of section 261.1, a member of a partnership who acquired an interest in the partnership after 22 February 1994 is deemed to have held the interest on 22 February 1994 where the member acquired the interest

(a)  in circumstances in which

i.  subparagraph a.1 of the first paragraph of section 440 applied,

ii.  the interest was held, on 22 February 1994,

(1)  where the member is an individual, by the member’s spouse,

(2)  where the member is a trust, by the individual by whose will the trust was created, and

iii.  the interest was, immediately before the death of the spouse or the individual, as the case may be, an excluded interest;

(b)  in circumstances in which

i.  subparagraph iii of subparagraph a of the second paragraph of section 444 applied,

ii.  the member’s father or mother held the interest on 22 February 1994, and

iii.  the interest was, immediately before the death of the member’s father or mother, an excluded interest;

(c)  in circumstances in which

i.  subparagraph iii of subparagraph a of the second paragraph of section 450 applied,

ii.  the trust referred to in section 450 or the individual by whose will the trust was created held the interest on 22 February 1994, and

iii.  the interest was, immediately before the death of the spouse referred to in section 450, an excluded interest; or

(d)  before 1 January 1995 pursuant to a document referred to in paragraph a, e or f of section 261.7.

1996, c. 39, s. 78; 1997, c. 3, s. 71; 2021, c. 18, s. 33.

261.5. In section 261.1, a member of a partnership at a particular time is a limited partner of that partnership at that time if, at that time or within three years after that time,

(a)  by operation of any law governing the partnership arrangement, the liability of the member as a member of the partnership is limited, except by operation of a provision of a statute of Canada or a province that limits the member’s liability only for debts and other obligations of the partnership, or any member of the partnership, arising from the misconduct or faults or omissions or negligent acts that another member of the partnership or an employee, agent or mandatary, or representative of that member or of the partnership commits in the course of the partnership business while the partnership is a limited liability partnership referred to in that provision;

(b)  the member or a person not dealing at arm’s length with the member is entitled, either immediately or in the future and either absolutely or contingently, to receive an amount or to obtain a benefit that would be described in paragraph b of section 613.3 if that paragraph were read without reference to subparagraphs ii, as it applies before being struck out, and vi thereof;

(c)  where the member who owns the interest is a corporation, partnership or trust, one of the reasons for the existence of the member can reasonably be considered to be to limit the liability of any person with respect to that interest, and cannot reasonably be considered to be to permit any person who has an interest in the corporation, partnership or trust, as the case may be, to carry on the person’s business, other than an investment business, in the most effective manner; or

(d)  one of the main reasons for the existence of an agreement or other arrangement for the disposition of an interest in the partnership can reasonably be considered to be to attempt to avoid the application of this section to the member.

1996, c. 39, s. 78; 1997, c. 3, s. 71; 2000, c. 5, s. 70; 2001, c. 7, s. 35; 2003, c. 2, s. 93.

261.6. In this division, an excluded interest in a partnership at any time means an interest in a partnership that actively carries on a business that was carried on by it throughout the period beginning on 22 February 1994 and ending at that time, or that earns income from a property that was owned by it throughout that period, unless in that period there was a substantial contribution of capital to the partnership or a substantial increase in the indebtedness of the partnership.

1996, c. 39, s. 78; 1997, c. 3, s. 71.

261.7. For the purposes of section 261.6, a contribution of capital or an increase in the indebtedness will be considered not to be substantial where

(a)  the amount was raised pursuant to the terms of a written agreement entered into by a partnership before 22 February 1994 to issue an interest in the partnership and was expended on expenditures contemplated by the agreement before 1 January 1995, or before 2 March 1995 in the case of amounts expended to acquire

i.  a film production prescribed for the purposes of subparagraph ii of paragraph b of section 613.3 the principal photography of which or, in the case of such a production that is a television series, one episode of the series, commences before 1 January 1995 and the production is completed before 2 March 1995, or

ii.  an interest in one or more partnerships all or substantially all of the property of which is a film production referred to in subparagraph i;

(b)  the amount was raised pursuant to the terms of a written agreement, other than an agreement referred to in paragraph a, entered into by a partnership before 22 February 1994 and was expended on expenditures contemplated by the agreement before 1 January 1995, or before 2 March 1995 in the case of amounts expended to acquire a property described in subparagraph i or ii of paragraph a;

(c)  the amount was used by the partnership before 1 January 1995, or before 2 March 1995 in the case of amounts expended to acquire a property described in subparagraph i or ii of paragraph a, to make an expenditure required to be made pursuant to the terms of a written agreement entered into by the partnership before 22 February 1994;

ii.  expended before 1 January 1995, or before 2 March 1995 in the case of amounts expended to acquire a film production prescribed for the purposes of subparagraph ii of paragraph b of section 613.3, or an interest in one or more partnerships all or substantially all of the property of which is such a film production, on expenditures contemplated by the document referred to in subparagraph i that was filed before 22 February 1994;

(f)  the amount was raised before 1 January 1995 pursuant to the terms of an offering memorandum distributed as part of an offering of securities where

i.  the memorandum contained a complete or substantially complete description of the securities contemplated in the offering as well as the terms and conditions of the offering,

ii.  the memorandum was distributed before 22 February 1994,

1996, c. 39, s. 78; 1997, c. 3, s. 71; 1999, c. 83, s. 50; 2001, c. 53, s. 49.

261.8.

1996, c. 39, s. 78; 1997, c. 3, s. 71.

261.9. If, because of any fluctuation after 31 December 1971 in the value of one or more foreign currencies relative to Canadian currency, an individual other than a trust has realized one or more particular gains or sustained one or more particular losses in a taxation year from dispositions of currency other than Canadian currency and the particular gains or losses would, in the absence of this section, be capital gains or losses described in section 232, the following rules apply:

(a)  section 232 does not apply to any of the particular gains or losses;

(b)  the amount determined by the following formula is deemed to be a capital gain of the individual for the year from the disposition of currency other than Canadian currency:

A-(B+$200); and

(c)  the amount determined by the following formula is deemed to be a capital loss of the individual for the year from the disposition of currency other than Canadian currency:

In the formulas in subparagraphs b and c of the first paragraph,

(a)  A is the total of all the particular gains realized by the individual in the year; and

(b)  B is the total of all the particular losses sustained by the individual in the year.

2015, c. 21, s. 151.

DIVISION II GAINS OR LOSSES IN RESPECT OF FOREIGN CURRENCIES

1972, c. 23.

262. If, because of any fluctuation after 31 December 1971 in the value of one or more foreign currencies relative to Canadian currency, a taxpayer has realized a gain or sustained a loss in a taxation year (other than a gain or loss that would, in the absence of this section, be a capital gain or capital loss to which section 232 or 261.9 applies, or a gain or loss in respect of a transaction or event in respect of shares of the capital stock of the taxpayer), the following rules apply:

(a)  the amount of the gain (to the extent of the amount of that gain that would not, if section 28 were read without reference to “, other than the taxable capital gains from dispositions of property,” in paragraph a of that section and without reference to paragraph b of that section, be included in computing the taxpayer’s income for the year or any other taxation year), is deemed to be a capital gain of the taxpayer for the year from the disposition of currency other than Canadian currency; and

(b)  the amount of the loss (to the extent of the amount of that loss that would not, if section 28 were read without reference to its paragraph b, be deductible in computing the taxpayer’s income for the year or any other taxation year), is deemed to be a capital loss of the taxpayer for the year from the disposition of currency other than Canadian currency.

1972, c. 23, s. 242; 2015, c. 21, s. 152.

262.0.0.1. For the purposes of section 262, if a debt obligation owing by a taxpayer (in this section and sections 262.0.0.2 and 262.0.0.3 referred to as the  “debtor”) is denominated in a foreign currency and the debt obligation has become a parked obligation at a particular time, the debtor is deemed at that time to have made the gain, if any, that the debtor otherwise would have made if it had paid an amount at the particular time in satisfaction of the debt obligation equal to

(a)  if the debt obligation has become a parked obligation at the particular time as a result of its acquisition by the holder of the debt obligation, the amount paid by the holder to acquire the debt obligation; and

(b)  in any other case, the fair market value of the debt obligation at the particular time.

2019, c. 14, s. 104.

262.0.0.2. For the purposes of section 262.0.0.1, a debt obligation is a parked obligation at a particular time if

(a)  at the particular time, the holder of the debt obligation does not deal at arm’s length with the debtor or, if the debtor is a corporation, has a significant interest in the debtor;

(b)  at any time prior to the particular time, a person who held the debt obligation dealt at arm’s length with the debtor and, where the debtor is a corporation, did not have a significant interest in the debtor; and

(c)  it can reasonably be considered that one of the main purposes of the transaction or event or series of transactions or events that results in the debt obligation meeting the condition in paragraph a is to avoid the application of section 262.

2019, c. 14, s. 104.

262.0.0.3. For the purposes of sections 262.0.0.1 and 262.0.0.2, the following rules apply:

(b)  subparagraph c of the first paragraph of section 485.19 applies for the purpose of determining whether a person has a significant interest in a corporation.

2019, c. 14, s. 104.

(a)  at any time a corporation resident in Canada or a partnership of which such a corporation is a member (such corporation or partnership being in this section and section 262.0.2 referred to as the “borrowing party”) has received a loan from, or become indebted to, a creditor that is a foreign affiliate (in this section and section 262.0.2 referred to as a “creditor affiliate”) of a qualifying entity or that is a partnership (in this section referred to as a “creditor partnership”) of which such an affiliate is a member; and

(b)  the loan or indebtedness is at a later time repaid, in whole or in part;

(c)  (paragraph repealed).

The rules to which the first paragraph refers, in relation to the borrowing party’s capital gain or capital loss in respect of the repayment of the loan or indebtedness that would be determined, in the absence of this section, under section 262, are the following:

(a)  in the case of a capital gain, the gain is to be reduced,

i.  if the creditor is a creditor affiliate, by an amount, not exceeding that capital gain, that is equal to twice the aggregate of all amounts each of which is an amount that would—in the absence of subparagraph ii of paragraph g of subsection 2 of section 40 of the Income Tax Act (R.S.C. 1985, c. 1 (5th Suppl.)) and paragraph g.04 of subsection 2 of section 95 of that Act and on the assumption that the creditor affiliate’s capital loss in respect of the repayment of the loan or indebtedness were a capital gain of the creditor affiliate, the creditor affiliate had no other income, loss, capital gain or capital loss for any taxation year, and no other foreign affiliate of a qualifying entity had any income, loss, capital gain or capital loss for any taxation year—be included in computing a qualifying entity’s income for the purposes of the Income Tax Act under subsection 1 of section 91 of that Act for its taxation year that includes the last day of the taxation year of the creditor affiliate that includes the later time, or

ii.  if the creditor is a creditor partnership, by an amount, not exceeding that capital gain, that is equal to twice the amount that is the total of each amount, determined in respect of a particular member of the creditor partnership that is a foreign affiliate of a qualifying entity, that is equal to the aggregate of all amounts each of which is an amount that would—in the absence of subparagraph ii of paragraph g of subsection 2 of section 40 of the Income Tax Act and paragraph g.04 of subsection 2 of section 95 of that Act and on the assumption that the creditor partnership’s capital loss in respect of the repayment of the loan or indebtedness were a capital gain of the creditor partnership, the particular member had no other income, loss, capital gain or capital loss for any taxation year, and no other foreign affiliate of a qualifying entity had any income, loss, capital gain or capital loss for any taxation year—be included in computing a qualifying entity’s income for the purposes of the Income Tax Act under subsection 1 of section 91 of that Act for its taxation year that includes the last day of the taxation year of the particular member that includes the last day of the creditor partnership’s fiscal period that includes the later time; and

(b)  in the case of a capital loss, the amount of the loss is to be reduced,

i.  if the creditor is a creditor affiliate, by an amount, not exceeding that capital loss, that is, in relation to the creditor affiliate’s capital gain in respect of the repayment of the loan or indebtedness, equal to twice the aggregate of all amounts each of which is an amount that would—in the absence of paragraph g.04 of subsection 2 of section 95 of the Income Tax Act and on the assumption that the creditor affiliate had no other income, loss, capital gain or capital loss for any taxation year, and no other foreign affiliate of a qualifying entity had any income, loss, capital gain or capital loss for any taxation year—be included in computing a qualifying entity’s income for the purposes of the Income Tax Act under subsection 1 of section 91 of that Act for its taxation year that includes the last day of the taxation year of the creditor affiliate that includes the later time, or

ii.  if the creditor is a creditor partnership, by an amount, not exceeding that capital loss, that is, in relation to the creditor partnership’s capital gain in respect of the repayment of the loan or indebtedness, equal to twice the amount that is the total of each amount, determined in respect of a particular member of the creditor partnership that is a foreign affiliate of a qualifying entity, that is equal to the aggregate of all amounts each of which is an amount that would—in the absence of paragraph g.04 of subsection 2 of section 95 of the Income Tax Act and on the assumption that the particular member had no other income, loss, capital gain or capital loss for any taxation year, and no other foreign affiliate of a qualifying entity had any income, loss, capital gain or capital loss for any taxation year—be included in computing a qualifying entity’s income for the purposes of the Income Tax Act under subsection 1 of section 91 of that Act for its taxation year that includes the last day of the taxation year of the particular member that includes the last day of the creditor partnership’s fiscal period that includes the later time.

The first and second paragraphs do not apply in respect of a repayment, in whole or in part, of a loan or indebteness if a valid election was made in respect of the repayment under subsection 2.3 of section 39 of the Income Tax Act.

Chapter V.2 of Title II of Book I of Part I applies in relation to an election referred to in the third paragraph. However, for the application of section 21.4.7 to such an election, a taxpayer is deemed to have complied with a requirement of section 21.4.6 if the taxpayer complies with it on or before 23 March 2021.

2015, c. 21, s. 153; 2020, c. 16, s. 52.

(2)  another partnership described in this subparagraph iv; and

(b)  in the case of a borrowing party that is a partnership,

i.  the borrowing party,

ii.  if each member of the borrowing party is either a corporation resident in Canada (in this subparagraph b referred to as the “parent”) or a corporation resident in Canada that is a subsidiary wholly-owned corporation, within the meaning of subsection 5 of section 544, of the parent,

(1)  the parent, or

(2)  a corporation resident in Canada that is a subsidiary wholly-owned corporation, within the meaning of subsection 5 of section 544, of the parent, or

iii.  a partnership each member of which is

(1)  the borrowing party,

(2)  a corporation described in subparagraph ii, or

(3)  another partnership described in this subparagraph iii.

For the purposes of subparagraph ii of subparagraph b of the first paragraph, a member of a particular partnership is deemed to be a member of any other partnership of which the particular partnership is a member.

2020, c. 16, s. 53.

262.1. The rule set out in section 262.2 applies for the purpose of computing at a particular time a taxpayer’s gain or loss (in this section and section 262.2 referred to as the “new gain” or “new loss”, as the case may be), in respect of the whole or any part (in this section and section 262.2 referred to as the “relevant part”) of a foreign currency debt of the taxpayer, arising—otherwise than because of the application of section 736.0.0.1—from a fluctuation in the value of the currency of the foreign currency debt, if before the particular time the taxpayer realized a capital gain or loss in respect of the foreign currency debt because of section 736.0.0.1.

2010, c. 5, s. 29; 2017, c. 1, s. 113.

262.2. The rule to which section 262.1 refers is the rule according to which the new gain is the positive amount, or the new loss is the negative amount, as the case may be, determined by the formula

A + B - C.

In the formula in the first paragraph,

(a)  A is

i.  if the taxpayer would, but for any application of section 736.0.0.1, recognize a new gain, the amount of the new gain, determined without reference to this section, or

ii.  if the taxpayer would, but for any application of section 736.0.0.1, recognize a new loss, the amount of the new loss, determined without reference to this section, expressed as a negative amount;

(b)  B is the aggregate of all amounts each of which is that portion of the amount of a capital loss sustained by the taxpayer before the particular time, in respect of the foreign currency debt and because of section 736.0.0.1, that can reasonably be attributed to

i.  the relevant part of the foreign currency debt at the particular time, or

ii.  the forgiven amount (within the meaning of section 485) in respect of the foreign currency debt at the particular time; and

(c)  C is the aggregate of all amounts each of which is that portion of the amount of a gain realized by the taxpayer before the particular time, in respect of the foreign currency debt and because of section 736.0.0.1, that can reasonably be attributed to

i.  the relevant part of the foreign currency debt at the particular time, or

ii.  the forgiven amount (within the meaning of section 485) in respect of the foreign currency debt at the particular time.

2010, c. 5, s. 29; 2017, c. 1, s. 114.

DIVISION II.1 GAINS RELATED TO CHARITABLE GIFTS OF FLOW-THROUGH SHARES

2012, c. 8, s. 45.

262.3. In this division,

“exemption threshold”, of a taxpayer at a particular time in respect of a flow-through share class of property, means the amount determined by the formula

A − B;

“flow-through share class of property” means a group of properties,

(a)  in respect of a class of shares of the capital stock of a corporation, each of which is

i.  a share of the class, if any share of the class or any right described in subparagraph ii is, at any time, a flow-through share to any person,

ii.  a right to acquire a share of the class, if any share of that class or any right described in this subparagraph is, at any time, a flow-through share to any person, or

iii.  a property that is an identical property of a property described in subparagraph i or ii; or

(b)  each of which is an interest in a partnership, if at any time more than 50% of the fair market value of the partnership’s assets is attributable to property included in a flow-through share class of property;

“fresh-start date”, of a taxpayer at a particular time in respect of a flow-through share class of property, means

(a)  in the case of a partnership interest that is included in the flow-through share class of property, 16 August 2011 or, if it is later, the last day, before the particular time, on which the taxpayer held an interest in the partnership; and

(b)  in the case of any other property that is included in the flow-though share class of property, 22 March 2011 or, if it is later, the last day, before the particular time, on which the taxpayer disposed of all property included in the flow-through share class of property.

In the formula in the definition of “exemption threshold” in the first paragraph,

(a)  A is the aggregate of

i.  the aggregate of all amounts, each of which would be the cost to the taxpayer, computed without reference to section 419.0.1, of a flow-through share that was included at any time before the particular time in the flow-through share class of property and that was issued by a corporation to the taxpayer on or after the taxpayer’s fresh-start date in respect of the flow-through share class of property at that time, other than a flow-through share that the taxpayer was obligated, before 22 March 2011, to acquire pursuant to the terms of a flow-through share agreement entered into between the corporation and the taxpayer, and

ii.  the aggregate of all amounts, each of which would be the adjusted cost base to the taxpayer of an interest in a partnership—computed as if subparagraph vii.1 of paragraph i of section 255 and subparagraph ii of paragraph l of section 257, as that subparagraph ii would read if it referred only to Canadian exploration expenses and Canadian development expenses, did not apply to any amount incurred by the partnership in respect of a flow-through share held by the partnership, either directly or indirectly through another partnership—that was included before the particular time in the flow-through share class of property, if

(1)  the taxpayer acquired the interest (other than an interest that the taxpayer was obligated, before 16 August 2011, to acquire pursuant to the terms of an agreement in writing entered into by the taxpayer) on or after the taxpayer’s fresh-start date in respect of the flow-through share class of property at the particular time, or made a contribution of capital to the partnership after 15 August 2011,

(2)  at any time after the time that the taxpayer acquired the interest or made the contribution of capital, the taxpayer is deemed by section 359.18 to have made or incurred an outlay or expense in respect of a flow-through share held by the partnership, either directly or indirectly through another partnership, and

(3)  at any time between the time that the taxpayer acquired the interest or made the contribution of capital and the particular time, more than 50% of the fair market value of the assets of the partnership is attributable to property included in a flow-through share class of property; and

(b)  B is the aggregate of all amounts, each of which is the lesser of

i.  the aggregate of all amounts, each of which is a capital gain from a disposition of a property included in the flow-through share class of property, other than a capital gain referred to in subparagraph a of the second paragraph of section 262.4, at an earlier time that is before the particular time and after the first time that the taxpayer acquired a flow-through share referred to in subparagraph i of paragraph a or acquired a partnership interest referred to in subparagraph ii of paragraph a, and

ii.  the exemption threshold of the taxpayer in respect of the flow-though share class of property immediately before the earlier time referred to in subparagraph i.

2012, c. 8, s. 45.

262.4. If, in the course of a transaction or series of transactions to which sections 301 to 301.2, section 454, sections 521 to 526 and 528, section 529, sections 536 to 539, 541 to 543.2, 544 to 555.4, 556 to 564.1 and 565 or 620 to 625 apply, a taxpayer acquires a property (in this section referred to as the “acquired property”) that is included in a flow-through share class of property, the following rules apply:

(a)  if the transfer of the acquired property is part of a gifting arrangement (within the meaning assigned by the first paragraph of section 1079.1) or of a transaction or series of transactions to which sections 620 to 625 apply, or the transferor is a person with whom the taxpayer was, at the time of the acquisition, not dealing at arm’s length, there must be added, at the time of the transfer, to the taxpayer’s exemption threshold in respect of the flow-through share class of property, and deducted from the transferor’s exemption threshold in respect of the flow-through share class of property, the amount determined by the formula

A × B; and

(b)  if the transferor receives particular shares of the capital stock of the taxpayer as consideration for the acquired property and those particular shares are listed on a designated stock exchange or are shares of a mutual fund corporation, for the purposes of this section and section 262.5 the particular shares are deemed to be flow-through shares of the transferor and there must be added to the transferor’s exemption threshold in respect of the flow-through share class of property that includes the particular shares the amount that is determined by the formula in paragraph a or that would be so determined if that paragraph applied to the taxpayer.

In the formula in subparagraph a of the first paragraph,

(a)  A is the amount by which the transferor’s exemption threshold in respect of the flow-through share class of property immediately before the transfer exceeds the capital gain of the transferor as a result of the transfer; and

(b)  B is the proportion that the fair market value of the acquired property immediately before the transfer is of the fair market value of all property of the transferor immediately before the transfer that is included in the flow-through share class of property.

2012, c. 8, s. 45.

262.5. If at any time a taxpayer disposes of one or more capital properties that are included in a flow-through share class of property and paragraph a or d of section 231.2 applies in respect of the disposition (in this section referred to as the “actual disposition”), the taxpayer is deemed to have realized a capital gain from a disposition at that time of another capital property equal to the lesser of

(a)  the taxpayer’s exemption threshold at that time in respect of the flow-through share class of property; and

(b)  the aggregate of all amounts each of which is a capital gain from the actual disposition (calculated without reference to this section).

263. Where a taxpayer has issued any bond, debenture or similar obligation and has at any subsequent time after 1971 purchased the obligation in the open market, in the manner in which any such obligation would normally be purchased by any member of the public,

(a)  the amount by which the amount for which the obligation was issued exceeds the purchase price paid or agreed to be paid is deemed to be a capital gain of the taxpayer for the taxation year from the disposition of a capital property; and

(b)  the amount by which the purchase price paid or agreed to be paid for the obligation exceeds the greater of the principal amount of the obligation and the amount for which it was issued is deemed to be a capital loss of the taxpayer for the taxation year from the disposition of a capital property.

An amount may be deemed to be a capital gain or a capital loss of a taxpayer under the first paragraph to the extent that the amount would not, if this Part were read without reference to sections 485.12 and 485.13, otherwise be included or be deductible, as the case may be, in computing the taxpayer’s income for the year or any other year.

1972, c. 23, s. 243; 1996, c. 39, s. 80.

A × [(B − C) / B].

For the purposes of the formula in the first paragraph,

(a)  A is the amount of the taxpayer’s loss, otherwise computed, from the disposition of the commercial obligation;

(b)  B is the total fair market value of the consideration given by the person or partnership for the settlement or extinguishment of the commercial obligation; and

(c)  C is the total fair market value of the other commercial obligations.

The capital gain of a taxpayer resulting from the disposition by the taxpayer, at a particular time, of a property that is included in Class 14.1 of Schedule B to the Regulation respecting the Taxation Act (chapter I-3, r. 1) in respect of a business of the taxpayer is to be reduced by the amount claimed by the taxpayer, without exceeding the amount referred to in the second paragraph, where

(a)  the property was, immediately before 1 January 2017, an incorporeal capital property of the taxpayer, within the meaning of section 250, as it read before being repealed;

(c)  the amount determined under subparagraph b of the first paragraph of section 107 in respect of the business immediately before 1 January 2017, as that section read before being repealed, is nil; and

(d)  no amount is included in computing the taxpayer’s income for a taxation year because of subparagraph d of the first paragraph of section 93.18.

264.9. The capital gain of an individual resulting from the disposition by the individual, at a particular time, of a property that is included in Class 14.1 of Schedule B to the Regulation respecting the Taxation Act (chapter I-3, r. 1) in respect of a business of the individual is to be reduced by the amount claimed by the individual, without exceeding the amount described in the second paragraph, where

However, where the taxation year of the taxpayer includes 28 February 2000 or 17 October 2000, or begins after 28 February 2000 and ends before 17 October 2000, the fraction “1/2” in the first paragraph shall be read as a reference to the fraction in paragraphs a to d of section 231.0.1 that applies to the taxpayer for the year.

1972, c. 23, s. 245; 1990, c. 59, s. 127; 2003, c. 2, s. 97.

266. The net gain contemplated in section 265 is computed:

(a)  by determining the amount by which the aggregate of all the taxpayer’s gains for the year from the disposition of precious property, except prescribed cultural property contemplated in section 232, exceeds the aggregate of his losses for the year from the disposition of precious property; and

(b)  by deducting from the amount so obtained such portion as the taxpayer may claim of his precious property losses for the seven preceding taxation years and the three following taxation years.

1972, c. 23, s. 246; 1975, c. 22, s. 48; 1985, c. 25, s. 50.

269. For the purposes of this division a loss on precious property for a taxation year shall be computed by subtracting from the aggregate of the taxpayer’s losses for the year from the disposition of precious property, the aggregate of his gains for the year from the disposition of precious property, except cultural property contemplated in section 232.

i.  if the amount is received or receivable on or before the specified date, it is deemed to be received as consideration for the disposition of the specified property by the vendor and not to be an amount received or receivable by the vendor as consideration for the obligation, and it is to be included in computing the vendor’s proceeds of disposition of the specified property for the taxation year or fiscal period in which the disposition occurred, and

ii.  in any other case, it is deemed to be a capital gain of the vendor from the disposition of a property by the vendor that occurs at the earlier of the time when the amount is received or becomes receivable; and

(b)  if an amount is paid or payable in relation to an outlay or expense made or incurred by the vendor under a warranty, covenant or other conditional obligation given or incurred by the vendor in respect of the specified property disposed of by the vendor, the following rules apply:

i.  if the amount is paid or payable on or before the specified date, it is deemed to reduce the consideration for the disposition of the specified property by the vendor and not to be an amount paid or payable by the vendor as consideration for the obligation, and it is to be deducted in computing the vendor’s proceeds of disposition of the specified property for the taxation year or fiscal period in which the disposition occurred, and

ii.  in any other case, it is deemed to be a capital loss of the vendor from the disposition of a property by the vendor that occurs at the earlier of the time when the amount is paid or becomes payable.

For the purposes of the first paragraph, “specified date” means,

(a)  if the vendor is a partnership, the last day of the vendor’s fiscal period in which the vendor disposed of the specified property; and

(b)  in any other case, the vendor’s filing-due date for the vendor’s taxation year in which the vendor disposed of the specified property.

Subject to the fourth paragraph, a particular property may be designated as principal residence under this section for a taxation year only if the particular property was the subject of a valid designation under paragraph c of the definition of “principal residence” in section 54 of the Income Tax Act (R.S.C. 1985, c. 1 (5th Suppl.)) for the year; however, if a designation made under that paragraph c for the year is in respect of a property that is not identical to the particular property but that includes it, in whole or in part, or is included, in whole or in part, in that property, the Minister may determine to what extent the designation made in respect of the particular property under this section for the year is valid.

Despite the third paragraph, if the Minister considers it appropriate in the circumstances, the Minister may agree to have a particular property designated as principal residence by an individual, under this section, for a particular taxation year even though the particular property was not the subject of a valid designation by the individual under paragraph c of the definition of “principal residence” in section 54 of the Income Tax Act for the particular year where

(a)  the following conditions are met:

i.  the individual disposed, in a taxation year that ended before 3 October 2016, of a property other than the particular property,

ii.  the individual was resident in Québec at the end of the taxation year in which the other property was disposed of, and

(b)  the particular taxation year is a taxation year that precedes the taxation year in which the particular property is disposed of and

i.  a valid designation was made by the individual under paragraph c of the definition of “principal residence” in section 54 of the Income Tax Act in respect of another property for the particular taxation year, and

ii.  the Minister was of the opinion that the other property could not be the subject of a designation by the individual under this section for the particular taxation year.

An individual designates a particular property as the individual’s principal residence for a particular taxation year by enclosing the prescribed form containing prescribed information with the fiscal return the individual is required to file under section 1000 for the individual’s taxation year in which the individual disposed of the particular property or granted an option to purchase it.

Subject to the fourth paragraph, a particular property may be designated as principal residence under this section for a taxation year only if the particular property was the subject of a valid designation under paragraph c.1 of the definition of “principal residence” in section 54 of the Income Tax Act (R.S.C. 1985, c. 1 (5th Suppl.)) for the year; however, if a designation made under that paragraph c.1 for the year is in respect of a property that is not identical to the particular property but that includes it, in whole or in part, or is included, in whole or in part, in that property, the Minister may determine to what extent the designation made in respect of the particular property under this section for the year is valid.

Despite the third paragraph, if the Minister considers it appropriate in the circumstances, the Minister may agree to have a particular property designated as principal residence by a trust, under this section, for a particular taxation year even though the particular property was not the subject of a valid designation by the trust under paragraph c.1 of the definition of “principal residence” in section 54 of the Income Tax Act for the particular year where

(a)  the following conditions are met:

1996, c. 39, s. 86.

274.4. Where a person not resident in Canada disposes of a taxable Québec property that the person last acquired before 27 April 1995, that would not be a taxable Québec property immediately before the disposition if sections 1087 to 1096.2 were read as they applied in respect of dispositions that occurred on 26 April 1995 and that would be a taxable Québec property immediately before the disposition if those sections were read as they applied in respect of dispositions that occurred on 1 January 1996, the person’s gain or loss from the disposition is deemed to be the amount determined by the formula

A × B / C.

In the formula provided for in the first paragraph,

DIVISION VI.1 LIFE ESTATE IN IMMOVABLE PROPERTY

1994, c. 22, s. 134; 1996, c. 39, s. 87.

277.1. Despite any other provision of this Act, if at any time a taxpayer disposes of a remainder interest in immovable property (except as a result of a transaction to which section 459 would otherwise apply or by way of a gift to a qualified donee) to a person or partnership and retains a life estate or an estate pur autre vie (in this division referred to as the “life estate”) in the property, the taxpayer is deemed

(a)  to have disposed at that time of the life estate in the immovable property for proceeds of disposition equal to its fair market value at that time; and

(b)  to have reacquired the life estate immediately after that time at a cost equal to the proceeds of disposition referred to in paragraph a.

1994, c. 22, s. 134; 1995, c. 49, s. 66; 1996, c. 39, s. 88; 1997, c. 3, s. 71; 2005, c. 23, s. 43; 2009, c. 5, s. 94; 2012, c. 8, s. 46.

(b)  where a person who is the holder of the remainder interest in the immovable property immediately before the death was not dealing at arm’s length with the holder of the life estate, there shall, after the death, be added in computing the adjusted cost base to that person of the immovable property an amount equal to the lesser of

i.  the adjusted cost base of the life estate in the property immediately before the death, and

ii.  the amount by which the fair market value of the immovable property immediately after the death exceeds the adjusted cost base to that person of the remainder interest immediately before the death.

1994, c. 22, s. 134; 1996, c. 39, s. 89.

DIVISION VII CAPITAL REPLACEMENT PROPERTY

1972, c. 23; 1978, c. 26, s. 47.

278. Despite section 234, this division applies if, at any time in a taxation year, an amount becomes receivable by a taxpayer as proceeds of disposition of a capital property (in this division referred to as “former property”) that is not a share of the capital stock of a corporation but that is either property the proceeds of disposition of which are described in section 280 or a property that was, immediately before the disposition, a former business property of the taxpayer, and the taxpayer acquires, in the case of a former property the proceeds of disposition of which are described in section 280, before the end of the second taxation year following the year or, if it is later, before the end of the 24-month period following the year, or, in any other case, before the end of the first taxation year following the year or, if it is later, before the end of the 12-month period following the year, a capital property that is a replacement property for the taxpayer’s former property and the replacement property has not been disposed of by the taxpayer before the time at which the taxpayer has disposed of the former property.

1972, c. 23, s. 258; 1975, c. 22, s. 50; 1978, c. 26, s. 47; 2001, c. 7, s. 38; 2004, c. 8, s. 54; 2009, c. 15, s. 70.

278.1. For the purposes of section 278, if a taxpayer acquires a capital replacement property for a former property after the end of the period provided for in that section for the acquisition and, in the Minister’s opinion, the taxpayer was unable to acquire the capital replacement property before the end of the period because of the specific nature of the former property, the taxpayer is deemed to have acquired the capital replacement property before the end of the period.

2002, c. 40, s. 24; 2009, c. 15, s. 70.

279. In the case provided for in section 278, if the taxpayer acquires the replacement property referred to in that section in a taxation year and the taxpayer makes a valid election under subsection 1 of section 44 of the Income Tax Act (R.S.C. 1985, c. 1 (5th Suppl.)) after 19 December 2006 in respect of the former property or, if section 278.1 applies, the taxpayer so elects in the taxpayer’s fiscal return filed in accordance with section 1000 for the taxation year, the following rules apply:

(a)  the gain for a particular taxation year from the disposition of the former property is deemed to be equal to the amount by which the amount as a reserve that, subject to section 279.1, is equal to the amount determined under the second paragraph or, if section 278.1 applies, the amount by which the amount as a reserve that the taxpayer may claim as a deduction and that does not exceed, subject to section 279.1, the amount determined under the second paragraph, is exceeded by whichever of the following amounts is applicable:

i.  if the particular year is the year in which the proceeds of disposition of the former property become due to the taxpayer, the lesser of the amount determined under the third paragraph and the amount determined under the fourth paragraph, or

ii.  if the particular year is subsequent to the year in which the proceeds of disposition of the former property become due to the taxpayer, the amount that the taxpayer has deducted under this subparagraph a from the amount determined under subparagraph i or this subparagraph ii in computing the taxpayer’s gain for the year preceding the particular year from the disposition of the former property; and

(b)  the cost or, in the case of depreciable property, the capital cost, to the taxpayer, of the replacement property at any time after the time of the disposition of the former property by the taxpayer, is deemed to be the cost otherwise determined, minus the amount by which the amount determined under the third paragraph exceeds the amount determined under the fourth paragraph.

The amount referred to in the portion of subparagraph a of the first paragraph before subparagraph i is equal, without exceeding the amount from which it must be subtracted, to the least of

(a)  a reasonable amount as a reserve in respect of the portion of the proceeds of disposition of the former property that is payable to the taxpayer after the end of the particular year as can reasonably be regarded as a portion of the amount determined under subparagraph i of subparagraph a of the first paragraph in respect of the property;

(b)  an amount equal to the product obtained when 1/5 of the amount determined under subparagraph i of subparagraph a of the first paragraph in respect of the property is multiplied by the amount by which 4 exceeds the number of preceding taxation years of the taxpayer ending after the disposition of the property; and

(c)  unless section 278.1 applies, the amount allowed as a deduction for the year under subparagraph iii of paragraph e of subsection 1 of section 44 of the Income Tax Act in computing the taxpayer’s gain for the particular year from the disposition of the property or, if the amount that is so allowed as a deduction is equal to the maximum amount that the taxpayer may claim as a deduction in that computation under that subparagraph iii in respect of the disposition, the amount that the taxpayer specifies and that is not less than that maximum amount.

The first amount to which subparagraph i of subparagraph a and subparagraph b of the first paragraph refer is equal to the amount by which the proceeds of disposition of the former property exceed the aggregate of the adjusted cost base of the former property to the taxpayer immediately before the disposition and the outlays made or expenses incurred by the taxpayer for the purpose of making the disposition or, in the case of depreciable property, the lesser of such aggregate and the proceeds of disposition of the former property determined without reference to section 280.3.

The second amount to which subparagraph i of subparagraph a and subparagraph b of the first paragraph refer is equal to the amount by which the proceeds of disposition of the former property exceed the aggregate of the cost or, in the case of depreciable property, the capital cost, to the taxpayer, determined without reference to subparagraph b of the first paragraph, of the replacement property and the outlays made or expenses incurred by the taxpayer for the purpose of making the disposition.

Chapter V.2 of Title II of Book I applies in relation to an election made under subsection 1 of section 44 of the Income Tax Act or in relation to an election made under this section before 20 December 2006 but otherwise than as a consequence of the application of section 278.1.

1975, c. 22, s. 51; 1978, c. 26, s. 47; 1982, c. 5, s. 60; 1984, c. 15, s. 66; 1986, c. 15, s. 56; 1996, c. 39, s. 90; 1997, c. 85, s. 330; 2009, c. 5, s. 95; 2010, c. 5, s. 30.

279.1. In computing the amount that a taxpayer may deduct under subparagraph a of the first paragraph of section 279 in computing the taxpayer’s gain from the disposition of a former property of the taxpayer, subparagraph b of the second paragraph of that section is to be read as if “1/5” and “4” were replaced by “1/10” and “9”, respectively, if the former property is an immovable property in respect of whose disposition the rules set out in sections 460 to 462 applied to the taxpayer and a child of the taxpayer because of section 459.

1984, c. 15, s. 67; 1986, c. 19, s. 51; 2007, c. 12, s. 46; 2009, c. 5, s. 96; 2010, c. 5, s. 31.

280. For the purposes of this Part, if a taxpayer has disposed of a property for which there are proceeds of disposition referred to in any of subparagraphs ii, iii and iv of subparagraph f of the first paragraph of section 93, the time of disposition of that property and the time when those proceeds become receivable by the taxpayer are deemed to be the earliest of the following times, and the taxpayer is deemed to have owned the property continuously until that time:

(a)  the day the taxpayer has agreed to an amount as final compensation for that property;

(b)  where a claim or other proceeding has been taken before a competent court or tribunal, the day on which the compensation is finally determined by that tribunal or court;

(c)  where a claim or other proceeding referred to in paragraph b has not been taken within two years of the event giving rise to the compensation, the day that is two years following the day of that event;

(d)  the time at which the taxpayer is deemed, under sections 433 to 451 or subparagraph b of the first paragraph of section 785.2, to have disposed of the property; and

(e)  where the taxpayer is a corporation other than a subsidiary referred to in section 556, the time immediately before the winding-up of the corporation.

1975, c. 22, s. 51; 1977, c. 26, s. 27; 1978, c. 26, s. 47; 1995, c. 49, s. 67; 1997, c. 3, s. 71; 2001, c. 53, s. 260; 2005, c. 23, s. 44; 2009, c. 5, s. 97.

280.1. A taxpayer who makes an election referred to in subsection 2 of section 96 or the first paragraph of section 279, as the case may be, in respect of a former property that was a depreciable property of the taxpayer, is deemed to also make an election referred to in the first paragraph of section 279 or subsection 2 of section 96, as the case may be, in respect of the same property.

Notwithstanding sections 1010 to 1011, where a taxpayer has made an election referred to in the first paragraph of section 279, the Minister shall make such reassessments of tax, interest and penalties under this Part as are necessary for any taxation year to take into account that election.

1975, c. 22, s. 51; 1978, c. 26, s. 47; 2002, c. 40, s. 25; 2009, c. 5, s. 98.

(a)  where, in respect of that change in use, either section 281, because the property begins to be used to gain income, or paragraph b of section 99 would otherwise apply for the particular year, the taxpayer is deemed not to have begun to use the property to gain income; and

(b)  where, in respect of that change in use, either section 283, because the proportion of the use made of the property for a purpose other than gaining income decreased, or subparagraph i of paragraph d of section 99 would otherwise apply for the particular year, the taxpayer is deemed not to have increased the use regularly made of the property to gain income relative to the use regularly made of the property for some other purpose.

However, where the taxpayer rescinds, in accordance with paragraph c of subsection 2 of section 45 of the Income Tax Act, the election that the taxpayer made under that subsection 2 in relation to the change in use of the property for the particular year, the following rules apply:

(a)  where subparagraph a of the first paragraph applied to the taxpayer in respect of the property, the taxpayer is deemed, on the first day of the subsequent taxation year referred to in that paragraph c, to have begun to use the property to gain income; and

(b)  where subparagraph b of the first paragraph applied to the taxpayer in respect of the property, the taxpayer is deemed, on the first day of the subsequent taxation year referred to in that paragraph c, to have increased the use regularly made of the property to gain income by what would have been the increase in use for the particular year if the election had not been made.

Chapter V.2 of Title II of Book I applies in relation to an election made or rescinded under subsection 2 of section 45 of the Income Tax Act.

DIVISION XII BAD DEBTS

1972, c. 23; 1995, c. 49, s. 236.

299.

The same rule applies where the taxpayer is the owner, at the end of a taxation year, of a share other than a share received by him as consideration in respect of the disposition of personal-use property, of the capital stock of

(a)  a corporation that has during the year become a bankrupt;

(b)  a corporation referred to in section 6 of the Winding-up Act (Revised Statutes of Canada, 1985, chapter W-11) that is insolvent within the meaning of that Act and in respect of which a winding-up order under that Act has been made in the year; or

(c)  a corporation that is insolvent at the end of the year if, at that time,

i.  neither the corporation nor a corporation controlled by it carries on business,

ii.  the fair market value of the share is nil, and

iii.  it is reasonable to expect that the corporation will be dissolved or wound up and will not recommence to carry on any business.

299.1.

1993, c. 16, s. 122; 1997, c. 3, s. 71.

300. Where, at the end of a taxation year, a taxpayer establishes that a debt which is a personal-use property and which is then owing to him by a person with whom he deals at arm’s length is a bad debt for the year, such taxpayer is deemed:

(a)  to have disposed of it at that time for proceeds equal to the excess of the adjusted cost base of such property, immediately before the end of the year, over his gain derived from the disposition of the personal-use property the proceeds of disposition of which included the debt; and

(b)  to have reacquired it, immediately after the end of that year, at a cost equal to the proceeds established under paragraph a.

DIVISION XIII CONVERSION OF SHARES

1972, c. 23.

301. Where a share of the capital stock of a corporation is acquired by a taxpayer from the corporation in exchange for a capital property of the taxpayer that is another share of the corporation or a capital property of the taxpayer that is a bond, debenture or note of the corporation the terms of which confer on the holder the right to make the exchange and no consideration other than that share is received by the taxpayer, the following rules apply:

(a)  except for the purposes of sections 157.6, 280.10 and 280.11 and paragraph o of section 594, the exchange is deemed not to be a disposition of property;

(b)  the cost to the taxpayer of all the shares of a particular class acquired by him on the exchange is deemed to be that proportion of the adjusted cost basis to him of the exchanged capital property immediately before the exchange that the fair market value, of all the shares of the particular class acquired by him on the exchange is of that of all the shares acquired by him on the exchange;

(b.1)  the taxpayer shall deduct, after the exchange, in computing the adjusted cost base to the taxpayer of a share acquired by the taxpayer on the exchange, the amount determined by the formula

A × B / C;

(b.2)  the taxpayer shall add, after the exchange, in computing the adjusted cost base to the taxpayer of a share, the amount determined under paragraph b.1 in respect of the share;

(c)  for the purposes of sections 462.11 to 462.24, the exchange is deemed to be a transfer of the exchanged capital property by the taxpayer to the corporation;

(d)  where the exchanged capital property is taxable Canadian property of the taxpayer, the share acquired by the taxpayer on the exchange is also deemed to be, at any time that is within 60 months after the exchange, taxable Canadian property of the taxpayer.

For the purposes of the formula in subparagraph b.1 of the first paragraph,

(a)  A is the aggregate of all amounts deducted under paragraph b.1 of section 257 in computing, immediately before the exchange, the adjusted cost base to the taxpayer of the exchanged capital property;

(b)  B is the fair market value, immediately after the exchange, of the share referred to in subparagraph b.1 of the first paragraph; and

(c)  C is the fair market value, immediately after the exchange, of all the shares acquired by the taxpayer on the exchange.

301.1. Notwithstanding section 301, where shares of the capital stock of a corporation have been acquired by a taxpayer in exchange for a capital property described in the said section 301, in circumstances such that, but for this section, section 301 would have applied, where the fair market value of the capital property immediately before the exchange exceeds the fair market value of the shares immediately after the exchange, and where it is reasonable to regard any portion of such excess as a benefit that the taxpayer desired to have conferred on a person related to the taxpayer, the following rules apply:

(a)  the taxpayer is deemed to have disposed of the capital property for proceeds of disposition equal to the lesser of the aggregate of its adjusted cost base to him immediately before the exchange and the excess portion, and the fair market value of the capital property immediately before the exchange;

(b)  the taxpayer’s capital loss from the disposition of the capital property is deemed to be nil; and

(c)  the cost to the taxpayer of all the shares of a particular class acquired in exchange for the capital property is deemed to be that proportion of the lesser of the adjusted cost base to him of the capital property immediately before the exchange, and the aggregate of the fair market value immediately after the exchange of the shares acquired by him, on the exchange, for the capital property and the amount that, but for paragraph b, would have been the taxpayer’s capital loss from the disposition of the capital property that the fair market value, immediately after the exchange, of all the shares of the particular class acquired by him on the exchange is of the fair market value of all the shares acquired by him on the exchange.

1982, c. 5, s. 63; 1986, c. 19, s. 56; 1997, c. 3, s. 71; 2005, c. 23, s. 45.

DIVISION XIII.1 EXCHANGE OF DEBT OBLIGATIONS

1996, c. 39, s. 94.

301.3. Where a taxpayer acquires a bond, debenture or note of a debtor, in this section referred to as the “new obligation”, in exchange for a capital property of the taxpayer that is another bond, debenture or note of the same debtor that conferred on the holder the right to make the exchange and the principal amount of the new obligation is equal to the principal amount of the exchanged capital property, the cost to the taxpayer of the new obligation and the proceeds of disposition of the exchanged capital property are deemed to be equal to the adjusted cost base to the taxpayer of the exchanged capital property immediately before the exchange.

1996, c. 39, s. 94.

DIVISION XIV MISCELLANEOUS CASES

1972, c. 23.

302. For the purposes of this Title, where a taxpayer acquires property after 31 December 1971, other than property described in the second paragraph, and an amount in respect of its value is included, otherwise than under Division VI of Chapter II of Title II, in computing the taxpayer’s taxable income or taxable income earned in Canada, as the case may be, for a taxation year during which the taxpayer was not resident in Canada, or in computing the taxpayer’s income for a taxation year throughout which the taxpayer was resident in Canada, the amount so included is to be added in computing the cost to the taxpayer of the property at any time, except to the extent that the amount was otherwise added to the cost or included in computing the adjusted cost base to the taxpayer of the property at or before that time.

The property to which the first paragraph refers is

(a)  an annuity contract;

(b)  a right as a beneficiary under a trust to enforce payment of an amount by the trust to the taxpayer;

(c)  property acquired in circumstances to which sections 304 and 305 apply; or

304. Where after 1971, a shareholder receives property from a corporation as a dividend payable in kind other than a stock dividend in respect of a share owned by him of the capital stock of the corporation, he is deemed to acquire such property at a cost equal to its fair market value at that time; in such case, the corporation is deemed at the same time to have disposed of the property for proceeds equal to its fair market value.

1972, c. 23, s. 280; 1997, c. 3, s. 71.

305. A shareholder of a corporation who receives after 1971 a stock dividend, in respect of a share owned by him of the capital stock of the corporation, is deemed to acquire the share received by him at a cost equal to the aggregate of

(a)  where the stock dividend is a dividend,

i.  in the case of a shareholder that is an individual, the amount of the stock dividend, and

ii.  in any other case, the aggregate of

(1)  the amount by which the lesser of the amount of the stock dividend and its fair market value exceeds the amount of the dividend that the shareholder may deduct under section 738 in computing the shareholder’s taxable income, except any portion of the dividend that, if paid as a separate dividend, would not be subject to section 308.1 because the amount of the separate dividend would not exceed the amount of the income earned or realized by a corporation after 31 December 1971 and before the safe-income determination time, in relation to the transaction or event or series of transactions or events as part of which the dividend is received, that can reasonably be considered to contribute to the capital gain that would have been realized on a disposition at fair market value of the share on which the dividend was received, if the disposition had occurred immediately before the dividend was paid, and

(2)  the amount determined by the formula

A + B;

(a.1)  where the stock dividend is not a dividend, nil, and

(b)  the amount included under section 112.1 in computing the shareholder’s income in respect of the stock dividend.

In the formula in subparagraph 2 of subparagraph ii of subparagraph a of the first paragraph,

(a)  A is the amount of the deemed gain determined in accordance with paragraph c of section 308.1 in respect of the stock dividend; and

(b)  B is the amount by which the amount of the reduction determined in accordance with subparagraph b of the first paragraph of section 308.2.0.2 in respect of the stock dividend to which paragraph a of section 308.1 would otherwise apply exceeds the amount determined in accordance with subparagraph a in respect of the stock dividend.

1996, c. 39, s. 96; 1997, c. 3, s. 71; 2000, c. 5, s. 73; 2004, c. 8, s. 56; 2009, c. 15, s. 71; 2010, c. 5, s. 32.

308.1. Despite any other provision of this Part, where a corporation resident in Canada (in this section and sections 308.2 to 308.2.0.2 referred to as the  “dividend recipient”) receives a taxable dividend described in section 308.2 in respect of which it is entitled to a deduction under any of sections 738, 740 and 845, the amount of that dividend, other than the prescribed portion of it, is deemed

(a)  not to be a dividend received by the dividend recipient;

(b)  where the dividend is received on a redemption, acquisition or cancellation of a share, by the corporation that issued the share, under section 508 to the extent that it refers to a dividend deemed paid under section 505 or 506, to be proceeds of disposition of that share to the extent that the amount is not otherwise included in computing those proceeds; and

(c)  where paragraph b does not apply in respect of a dividend, to be a gain of the dividend recipient from the disposition of a capital property for the year in which the dividend was received.

1982, c. 5, s. 66; 1997, c. 3, s. 71; 2000, c. 5, s. 74; 2019, c. 14, s. 108.

308.2. A taxable dividend to which section 308.1 refers is such a dividend received by a corporation as part of a transaction or event or a series of transactions or events if

(a)  it can reasonably be considered that

i.  one of the purposes of the payment or receipt of the dividend, or, in the case of a dividend referred to in section 506, one of its results, is to effect a significant reduction in the portion of the capital gain that, but for the dividend, would have been realized on a disposition at fair market value of any share of the capital stock of a corporation, if the disposition had occurred immediately before the dividend was paid, or

ii.  the dividend (other than a dividend that is received on a redemption, acquisition or cancellation of a share, by the corporation that issued the share, under section 508 to the extent that it refers to a dividend deemed paid under section 505 or 506) was received on a share that is held as capital property by the dividend recipient and one of the purposes of the payment or receipt of the dividend is to effect

(1)  a significant reduction in the fair market value of any share, or

(2)  a significant increase in the cost of property, such that the amount that is the aggregate of the cost amounts of all properties of the dividend recipient immediately after the dividend was paid is significantly greater than the amount that is the aggregate of the cost amounts of all properties of the dividend recipient immediately before the dividend was paid; and

(b)  the amount of the dividend exceeds the amount of the income earned or realized by any corporation after 31 December 1971 and before the safe-income determination time, in relation to the transaction or event or series of transactions or events, that can reasonably be considered to contribute to the capital gain that would have been realized on a disposition at fair market value of the share on which the dividend was received, if the disposition had occurred immediately before the dividend was paid.

1982, c. 5, s. 66; 1984, c. 15, s. 69; 1996, c. 39, s. 97; 1997, c. 3, s. 71; 2000, c. 5, s. 75; 2019, c. 14, s. 108.

308.2.0.1. For the purposes of sections 308.1, 308.2 and 308.2.0.2, the amount of a stock dividend and the dividend recipient’s entitlement to a deduction under any of sections 738, 740 and 845 in respect of the amount of that dividend are to be determined as if the definition of “amount” in section 1 were read as if the following paragraph were inserted after paragraph a:

“(a.1) in the case of a stock dividend paid by a corporation, the amount of the stock dividend is equal to the greater of

i. the amount by which the paid-up capital of the corporation that paid the dividend is increased by reason of the payment of the dividend, and

ii. the fair market value of the share or shares issued as a stock dividend at the time of payment;”.

2019, c. 14, s. 109.

308.2.0.2. Where the conditions of the second paragraph are met, in respect of a stock dividend, the following rules apply:

(a)  the amount of the stock dividend is deemed for the purposes of section 308.1 to be a separate taxable dividend to the extent of the portion of the amount that does not exceed the amount of the income earned or realized by any corporation after 31 December 1971 and before the safe-income determination time, in relation to the transaction or event or series of transactions or events, that can reasonably be considered to contribute to the capital gain that would have been realized on a disposition at fair market value of the share on which the dividend was received, if the disposition had occurred immediately before the dividend was paid; and

(b)  the amount of the separate taxable dividend referred to in subparagraph a is deemed to reduce the amount of the income earned or realized by any corporation after 31 December 1971 and before the safe-income determination time, in relation to the transaction or event or series of transactions or events, that can reasonably be considered to contribute to the capital gain that would have been realized on a disposition at fair market value of the share on which the dividend was received, if the disposition had occurred immediately before the dividend was paid.

The conditions to which the first paragraph refers, in respect of a stock dividend, are as follows:

(a)  a dividend recipient holds a share in respect of which it receives the stock dividend;

(b)  the fair market value of the share or shares issued as a stock dividend exceeds the amount by which the paid-up capital of the corporation that paid the stock dividend is increased because of the payment of the dividend; and

(c)  section 308.1 would apply to the stock dividend if section 308.2 were read without reference to its paragraph b.

2019, c. 14, s. 109.

308.2.0.3. For the purposes of subparagraph 1 of subparagraph ii of paragraph a of section 308.2 and for the purpose of determining whether the payment of a dividend caused a significant reduction in the fair market value of any share, the fair market value of the share, determined immediately before the dividend was paid, must be increased by an amount equal to the amount, if any, by which the amount that is the fair market value of the dividend received on the share exceeds the fair market value of the share.

2019, c. 14, s. 109.

308.2.1. Section 308.1 does not apply, however, to any dividend received by a particular corporation, on a redemption, acquisition or cancellation of a share, by the corporation that issued the share, under section 508 to the extent that it refers to a dividend deemed paid under section 505 or 506, if, as part of a transaction or event or a series of transactions or events as part of which the dividend was received, there was not at a particular time

(a)  a disposition, to a person or partnership that was an unrelated person immediately before the particular time, of property, other than

i.  money disposed of on the payment of a dividend or on a reduction of the paid-up capital of a share, and

ii.  property disposed of for proceeds of disposition that are not less than its fair market value;

(b)  a significant increase, other than as a consequence of a disposition of shares of the capital stock of a corporation for proceeds of disposition that are not less than their fair market value, in the total direct interest in any corporation of one or more persons or partnerships that were unrelated persons immediately before the particular time;

(c)  a disposition, to a person or partnership who was an unrelated person immediately before the particular time, of

i.  shares of the capital stock of the dividend-payer corporation, or

ii.  property, other than shares of the capital stock of the particular corporation, more than 10% of the fair market value of which was, at any time during the course of the series of transactions or events, derived from a combination of shares of the capital stock and debt of the corporation that paid the dividend;

(d)  after the time the dividend was received, a disposition, to a person or partnership that was an unrelated person immediately before the particular time, of

i.  shares of the capital stock of the particular corporation, or

ii.  property more than 10% of the fair market value of which was, at any time during the course of the series of transactions or events, derived from a combination of shares of the capital stock and debt of the particular corporation; and

(e)  a significant increase in the total of all direct interests in the corporation that paid the dividend of one or more persons or partnerships who were unrelated persons immediately before the particular time.

2000, c. 5, s. 76; 2009, c. 15, s. 72; 2015, c. 24, s. 55; 2019, c. 14, s. 110.

308.2.2. For the purposes of section 308.2.1, the following rules apply:

(a)  “unrelated person” means a person, other than the particular dividend-recipient corporation, to whom that corporation is not related or a partnership any member of which, other than the particular dividend-recipient corporation, is not related to that corporation;

(b)  a corporation that is formed by an amalgamation of two or more other corporations is deemed to be a continuation of each of the other corporations;

(c)  proceeds of disposition of a property are to be determined without reference to

i.  “deemed to be included in the proceeds of disposition of the share under paragraph b of section 308.1 or” in section 251, and

ii.  Chapter V of Title X;

(d)  notwithstanding any other provision of this Act, where a person not resident in Canada disposes of a property in a taxation year and the gain or loss from the disposition is not included in computing the person’s taxable income earned in Canada for the year, the person is deemed to have disposed of the property for proceeds of disposition that are less than its fair market value unless, under the income tax laws of the country in which the person is resident, the gain or loss is computed as if the property were disposed of for proceeds of disposition that are not less than its fair market value and the gain or loss so computed is recognized for the purposes of those laws;

(e)  a significant increase in the total direct interest in a corporation that would, but for this paragraph, be described in paragraph b of section 308.2.1 is deemed not to be described in that paragraph if the increase is the result of the issuance of shares of the capital stock of the corporation for consideration that consists solely of money and the shares are redeemed, acquired or cancelled by the corporation before the dividend is received;

(f)  a disposition of property that would, but for this paragraph, be described in paragraph a of section 308.2.1, or a significant increase in the total direct interest in a corporation that would, but for this paragraph, be described in paragraph b of section 308.2.1, is deemed not to be described in either of those paragraphs if

i.  the dividend-payer corporation was related to the particular dividend-recipient corporation immediately before the dividend was received,

ii.  the dividend-payer corporation did not, as part of the series of transactions or events that includes the receipt of the dividend, cease to be related to the particular dividend-recipient corporation,

iii.  the disposition or increase occurred before the dividend was received,

iv.  the disposition or increase is the result of the disposition of shares to, or the acquisition of shares of, any corporation, and

v.  at the time the dividend was received, all the shares of the capital stock of the dividend-payer corporation and of the particular dividend-recipient corporation were owned by the corporation referred to in subparagraph iv, a corporation that controls the corporation referred to in that subparagraph, a corporation controlled by the corporation referred to in that subparagraph or any combination of those corporations; and

(g)  a winding-up of a subsidiary wholly-owned corporation, in respect of which sections 556 to 564.1 and 565 apply, or an amalgamation, in respect of which section 550.9 applies, of a corporation with one or more subsidiary wholly-owned corporations, is deemed not to result in a significant increase in the total direct interest, or in the total of all direct interests, in one or more subsidiaries, as the case may be.

2000, c. 5, s. 76; 2009, c. 15, s. 73; 2015, c. 24, s. 56; 2019, c. 14, s. 111.

308.3. In addition, section 308.1 does not apply if the dividend was received by a corporation

(a)  in the course of a reorganization in which a distributing corporation made a distribution to one or more transferee corporations and in which either the distributing corporation was wound up or all of the shares of its capital stock owned by each transferee corporation immediately before the distribution were redeemed or cancelled otherwise than on an exchange to which any of sections 301, 518 and 541 to 543 applies; and

(b)  on a permitted redemption in relation to the distribution referred to in paragraph a or on the winding-up of the distributing corporation.

1982, c. 5, s. 66; 1984, c. 15, s. 70; 1985, c. 25, s. 55; 1986, c. 15, s. 58; 1996, c. 39, s. 98; 1997, c. 3, s. 71; 2000, c. 5, s. 77.

(a)  in contemplation of and before a distribution (other than a distribution by a specified corporation) made by a distributing corporation in the course of the reorganization in which the dividend was received, property became property of the distributing corporation, a corporation controlled by it or a predecessor corporation of any such corporation otherwise than as a result of

i.  an amalgamation of corporations each of which was related to the distributing corporation,

ii.  an amalgamation of a predecessor corporation of the distributing corporation and one or more corporations controlled by that predecessor corporation,

iii.  a reorganization in which a dividend was received to which section 308.1 would, but for section 308.3, apply, or

“child support amount” means any support amount that is not identified in the agreement or order under which it is receivable as being solely for the support of a recipient who is a spouse or former spouse of the payer or who is the father or mother of a child of the payer;

“commencement day” in respect of an agreement or order means

(a)  where the agreement or order is made after 30 April 1997, the day it is made; and

(b)  where the agreement or order is made before 1 May 1997, the day that is after 30 April 1997 and is the earliest of

i.  the day specified as the commencement day by the payer and the recipient of the child support amount payable or receivable under the agreement or order, in a valid election made under subparagraph i of paragraph b of the definition of “commencement day” in subsection 4 of section 56.1 of the Income Tax Act (R.S.C. 1985, c. 1 (5th Suppl.)) after 19 December 2006 in relation to the agreement or order,

ii.  where the agreement or order is varied after 30 April 1997 to change the child support amounts payable to the recipient, the day on which the first payment of the varied amount is required to be made,

iii.  where a subsequent agreement or order is made after 30 April 1997, the effect of which is to change the total child support amounts payable to the recipient by the payer, the commencement day of the first such subsequent agreement or order, and

iv.  the day specified in the agreement or order, or any variation of the agreement or order, as the commencement day for the purposes of this Part or, if the day is specified in such a variation made after 19 December 2006, of the Income Tax Act;

“support amount” means, subject to the second paragraph, an amount receivable as an allowance on a periodic basis for the maintenance of the recipient, a child of the recipient or both the recipient and a child of the recipient, if the recipient has discretion as to the use of the amount, and

(a)  the recipient is the spouse or former spouse of the payer, the recipient and payer are living separate and apart because of the breakdown of their marriage and the amount is receivable under an order of a competent tribunal or under a written agreement; or

(b)  the payer is the father or mother of a child of the recipient and the amount is receivable under an order made by a competent tribunal in accordance with the laws of a province.

For the purposes of the definition of “support amount” in the first paragraph, the following rules apply:

(a)  a support amount does not include an amount described in that definition that, if paid and received, would be so under a decree, order or judgment of a competent tribunal, or under a written agreement, that does not have a commencement day, and would not be required to be included in computing the income of the recipient of the amount if

i.  paragraphs a to b.1 of section 312, as they applied before being struck out, applied in respect of an amount received after 31 December 1996 and were read without reference to the words “and throughout the remainder of the year”, and

ii.  section 312.4 were disregarded;

(b)  the portion of that definition before paragraph a shall be read without reference to the words “the recipient has discretion as to the use of the amount, and”, where it applies in respect of an amount receivable under a decree, order or judgment of a competent tribunal, or under a written agreement, made after 27 March 1986 and before 1 January 1988.

Chapter V.2 of Title II of Book I applies in relation to an election made under subparagraph i of paragraph b of the definition of “commencement day” in subsection 4 of section 56.1 of the Income Tax Act or in relation to an election made under subparagraph i of paragraph b of the definition of “commencement day” in the first paragraph before 20 December 2006.

1998, c. 16, s. 109; 2000, c. 5, s. 85; 2009, c. 5, s. 111.

312.4. A taxpayer shall also include the aggregate of all amounts each of which is an amount determined by the formula

A − (B + C).

In the formula provided for in the first paragraph,

(a)  A is the aggregate of all amounts each of which is a support amount received after 31 December 1996 and before the end of the year by the taxpayer from a particular person where the taxpayer and the particular person were living separate and apart at the time the amount was received;

(b)  B is the aggregate of all amounts each of which is a child support amount that became receivable by the taxpayer from the particular person under an agreement or order on or after the commencement day and before the end of the year in respect of a period that began on or after the commencement day; and

(c)  C is the aggregate of all amounts each of which is a support amount received after 31 December 1996 by the taxpayer from the particular person and included in the taxpayer’s income for a preceding taxation year.

The first and second paragraphs do not apply in respect of an amount received pursuant to an order or a written agreement made before 16 June 1999 where, but for the amendments made to subparagraph a of the first paragraph of section 2.2.1 by section 14 of the Act to amend various legislative provisions concerning de facto spouses (1999, chapter 14), this section would not have applied in respect of that amount, except if

(a)  subparagraph a of the first paragraph of section 2.2.1, as amended by section 14 of the Act to amend various legislative provisions concerning de facto spouses, applies to the taxpayer and the particular person before 16 June 1999 because of the third paragraph of section 2.2.1; or

(b)  the taxpayer and the particular person jointly elect to have the first and second paragraphs of this section and of section 336.0.3 apply after 15 June 1999 in respect of that amount by filing a document signed by the taxpayer and the particular person with the Minister on or before the taxpayer’s and the particular person’s filing-due date for the taxation year that includes 20 December 2001.

1998, c. 16, s. 109; 2000, c. 5, s. 86; 2001, c. 53, s. 54.

312.5. A taxpayer shall also include any amount received under an order of a competent tribunal as a reimbursement of an amount deducted under any of paragraphs a to b of subsection 1 of section 336, as it read for that preceding year, in computing the taxpayer’s income for a preceding taxation year, or that could have been so deducted were it not for section 334.1, as it read for that preceding year, or deducted under section 336.0.3 in computing the taxpayer’s income for the year or a preceding taxation year.

Despite the first paragraph, a taxpayer is not required to include, if the taxpayer so elects, the portion of the amount referred to in the first paragraph received by the taxpayer that relates to one or more of the taxpayer’s eligible taxation years that precede the taxation year 2003 and follow the taxation year 1997.

For the purposes of the second paragraph, “eligible taxation year” of a taxpayer means a taxation year throughout which the taxpayer was resident in Canada, other than a taxation year that ends in a calendar year in which the taxpayer became a bankrupt or a taxation year included, in whole or in part, in an averaging period determined in respect of the taxpayer for the purposes of Division II of Chapter II of Title I of Book V, as it read before being repealed.

1998, c. 16, s. 111.

Where an amount, other than an amount that is otherwise a support amount, became payable in a taxation year by a person, in this section and in section 313.0.2 referred to as the “particular person”, under an order of a competent tribunal or under a written agreement, in respect of an expense incurred in the year or the preceding taxation year for the maintenance of a taxpayer described in the second paragraph, a child in the taxpayer’s custody or both the taxpayer and a child in the taxpayer’s custody and the order or agreement provides that subsection 2 of each of sections 56.1 and 60.1 of the Income Tax Act (R.S.C. 1985, c. 1 (5th Suppl.)) apply to any amount paid or payable thereunder, the amount by which the aggregate of all amounts each of which is such an amount payable exceeds the amount determined under section 313.0.3 is, for the purposes of this chapter, deemed to be an amount payable to and receivable by the taxpayer as an allowance on a periodic basis, and the taxpayer is deemed to have discretion as to the use of that amount.

The taxpayer to whom the first paragraph refers is

(a)  the spouse or former spouse of the particular person; or

(b)  where the amount became payable under an order made by a competent tribunal in accordance with the laws of a province, the father or mother of a child of the particular person.

(a)  the amount is deemed to have been received thereunder;

(b)  the agreement or order is deemed, except for the purpose of this section, to have been made on the day on which the first such amount was received.

However, where the agreement or order is made after 30 April 1997 and varies a child support amount payable to the recipient from the last such amount received by the recipient before 1 May 1997, each varied amount of child support received under the agreement or order is deemed to have been receivable under an agreement or order the commencement day of which is the day on which the first payment of the varied amount is required to be made.

316.1. Where a particular individual, other than a trust, or a trust of which the particular individual is a beneficiary, receives a loan from or becomes indebted to a creditor or creditor trust, directly or indirectly by means of a trust or by any other means, and it may reasonably be considered that one of the main reasons for making the loan or incurring the indebtedness is to reduce or avoid tax by causing income from the loaned property to be included in the income of the particular individual, the following rules apply:

(a)  any income of the particular individual, for a taxation year, from the loaned property that relates to the period or periods in the year throughout which the creditor or the creditor trust, as the case may be, is resident in Canada and the particular individual is not dealing at arm’s length with the creditor or the original transferor in respect of the creditor trust, as the case may be, is deemed to be income of the creditor or creditor trust, as the case may be, for that taxation year and not income of the particular individual;

(b)  where section 467 applies in respect of the loaned property and income therefrom is deemed to be income of the creditor trust and not income of the particular individual, as provided for in subparagraph a, section 467 shall be applied after the application of subparagraph a.

Subparagraph a of the first paragraph does not apply, in respect of such income of the individual

(a)  to the extent that sections 462.1 to 462.4 apply or would, but for section 462.16, apply to such income;

(b)  in the case of a creditor, to the extent that section 467 applies to such income;

(c)  in the case of a creditor trust,

i.  to the extent that subparagraph a of the first paragraph applies to such income in the case of a creditor;

ii.  to the extent that section 467 applies to such income otherwise than by reason of subparagraph b of the first paragraph.

In this section,

“beneficiary” of a trust means an individual who is beneficially interested in the trust;

“creditor”, in respect of a particular individual, or of a trust of which the particular individual is a beneficiary, having received a loan or incurred a debt, means the individual, other than a trust, who made the loan or became the creditor and with whom the particular individual does not deal at arm’s length;

“creditor trust”, in respect of a particular individual, or of a trust of which the particular individual is a beneficiary, having received a loan or incurred a debt, means the trust that made the loan or became the creditor and to which property has, directly or indirectly by means of a trust or by any other means, been transferred by another individual, in this section referred to as the “original transferor”, who is not a trust, who is resident in Canada at any time in the period during which the loan or indebtedness is outstanding and with whom the particular individual does not deal at arm’s length;

“loaned property”, in respect of a particular individual, or of a trust of which the particular individual is a beneficiary, having received a loan or incurred a debt, includes property that the loan or indebtedness enabled or assisted the particular individual, or the trust in which the particular individual is a beneficiary, to acquire, and property substituted for such property or for the loaned property.

316.2. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Act, section 316.1 does not apply to any income derived in a particular taxation year, in respect of a loan or indebtedness, where the following conditions are met:

(a)  interest is charged on the loan or indebtedness at a rate equal to or greater than the lesser of the following rates:

i.  the prescribed rate of interest in effect at the time the loan was made or the indebtedness was incurred, and

ii.  the rate that would, having regard to all the circumstances, have been agreed on, at the time the loan was made or the indebtedness was incurred, between parties dealing with each other at arm’s length;

(b)  the amount of interest that is payable in respect of the particular taxation year in respect of the loan or indebtedness is paid not later than 30 days after the end of the particular taxation year; and

(c)  the amount of interest that was payable in respect of each taxation year preceding the particular taxation year in respect of the loan or indebtedness was paid not later than 30 days after the end of each such taxation year.

1990, c. 59, s. 147; 1993, c. 16, s. 131.

316.3. For the purposes of section 316.1, where at any time a particular property is used to repay, in whole or in part, a loan or indebtedness that enabled or assisted an individual to acquire another property, there shall be included in computing the income from the particular property that proportion of the income or loss, as the case may be, derived after that time from the other property or from property substituted therefor that the amount so repaid is of the cost to the individual of the other property.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, nothing in this section shall affect the application of section 316.1 to any income or loss derived from the other property or from property substituted therefor.

1990, c. 59, s. 147; 1993, c. 16, s. 132.

325. Where spouses have each received annuity payments in respect of which they may make a deduction under this chapter, the amount deductible may be computed as if their annuities belonged to a single person; it may be deducted by either of them or apportioned between them in such manner as may be agreed by them or, in case of disagreement, as the Minister may determine.

(a)  subparagraph a of the first paragraph of section 2.2.1, as amended by section 14 of the Act to amend various legislative provisions concerning de facto spouses, applies to the taxpayer and the particular person before 16 June 1999 because of the third paragraph of section 2.2.1; or

However, for the purpose of computing the individual’s income for the taxation year in which the individual died and for the preceding taxation year, the first paragraph is to be read as if “for the taxation years that precede the particular year and those for the three taxation years that follow the particular year, up to the amount by which the amount of the individual’s investment income for the particular year exceeds the individual’s total investment expense for the particular year” was replaced by “for all of the individual’s taxation years”.

2005, c. 38, s. 71.

336.7. No amount is deductible under section 336.6 in respect of an unused portion of the total investment expense for a taxation year until the unused portions of the total investment expense for the preceding taxation years have been deducted.

ii.  the amount by which the defined benefit limit (as defined by subsection 1 of section 8500 of the Income Tax Regulations made under the Income Tax Act) for the year multiplied by 35 exceeds the aggregate of the amounts determined under paragraphs a and b.

“eligible spouse” of an individual for a taxation year means the person who is the individual’s eligible spouse for the year within the meaning of sections 776.41.1 to 776.41.4;

“joint election” for a taxation year means an election made jointly for the year in the prescribed form by a transferor and the transferee who is the transferor’s eligible spouse for the year, and filed with the Minister with both the transferor’s and the transferee’s fiscal returns for the year on or before their respective filing-due dates for the year;

“split-retirement income amount” in respect of a transferor and a transferee for a taxation year means the amount elected by the transferor and the transferee in a joint election for the year not exceeding 50% of the transferor’s eligible retirement income for the year;

For the purposes of section 336.9 and the definitions of “transferee” and “transferor” in the first paragraph, the taxation year of an individual that is the year in which the individual dies or ceases to be resident in Canada is deemed to end immediately before the individual’s death or at the end of the last day on which the individual was resident in Canada.

2009, c. 5, s. 121; 2012, c. 8, s. 47; 2015, c. 21, s. 167; 2019, c. 14, s. 119; 2020, c. 16, s. 60.

336.9. For the purpose of applying this chapter, for a taxation year, to a transferor and to the transferee who is the transferor’s eligible spouse for the year, if either of them is resident in Canada outside Québec at the end of that year, section 336.8 is to be read

(a)  as if the definitions of “joint election” and “split-retirement income amount” in the first paragraph were replaced by the following definitions:

““joint election” for a taxation year means a valid election made jointly for the year by a transferor and the transferee who is the transferor’s eligible spouse for the year, for the purposes of section 60.03 of the Income Tax Act (R.S.C. 1985, c. 1 (5th Suppl.)), in accordance with the definition of “joint election” in subsection 1 of that section;

“split-retirement income amount” in respect of a transferor and a transferee for a taxation year means the amount elected by the transferor and the transferee in a joint election for the year not exceeding the amount determined by the formula

(b) B is the number of months in the transferor’s taxation year during which the transferor was the transferee’s spouse; and

(c) C is the number of months in the transferor’s taxation year.”

The individual who is resident in Québec at the end of the year shall send a copy of the joint election with the fiscal return the individual is required to file for the year under this Part.

If, for a taxation year, a transferor makes an election described in the definition of “joint election” in subsection 1 of section 60.03 of the Income Tax Act with an individual other than the transferor’s eligible spouse for the year and either of them is resident in Canada outside Québec at the end of that year, that other individual is, for the purposes of the first paragraph and of section 336.8, deemed to be the transferor’s eligible spouse for the year.

This chapter does not apply, for a taxation year, to the eligible spouse of a transferor, if both of them are resident in Québec at the end of the year, and if the presumption in the third paragraph applies to another individual with whom the transferor made the election referred to in that paragraph for the year.

For the purposes of this Part, an election described in the definition of “joint election” in the first paragraph of section 336.8, enacted by the first paragraph, is deemed to be made under this chapter.

2009, c. 5, s. 121.

336.10. For the purposes of section 336.8, a person is deemed not to be the eligible spouse of an individual for a taxation year if the person is exempt from tax for the year under section 982 or 983 or under any of subparagraphs a to d and f of the first paragraph of section 96 of the Tax Administration Act (chapter A-6.002).

2009, c. 5, s. 121; 2010, c. 31, s. 175.

336.11. A taxpayer who is a transferor for a taxation year may deduct, in computing the taxpayer’s income for that year, any amount that is a split-retirement income amount for the year in respect of the taxpayer.

However, a taxpayer who dies in a taxation year may deduct an amount under the first paragraph in computing the taxpayer’s income for the year only in the taxpayer’s fiscal return that is required to be filed for the year under this Part, otherwise than because of an election made by the taxpayer’s legal representative in accordance with the second paragraph of section 429 or section 681 or 1003.

2009, c. 5, s. 121.

336.12. For the purposes of subparagraph ii of subparagraphs a and b of the first paragraph of section 752.0.7.4, the following rules apply if a transferor and a transferee make a joint election for a taxation year:

(a)  the amount described in the third paragraph of section 752.0.7.4 in respect of the transferor for the year is deemed to be equal to the result obtained by subtracting from that amount otherwise determined the portion of that amount that is the proportion that the split-retirement income amount in respect of the transferor for the year is of the eligible retirement income of the transferor for the year; and

(b)  the amount described in the third paragraph of section 752.0.7.4 in respect of the transferee for the year is deemed to be equal to the result obtained by adding to that amount otherwise determined the amount subtracted in accordance with paragraph a for the year.

2009, c. 5, s. 121; 2019, c. 14, s. 120; 2024, c. 11, s. 51.

336.13. A joint election is invalid if the Minister establishes that a transferor or a transferee has knowingly or under circumstances amounting to gross negligence made a false declaration in the joint election.

However, the first paragraph does not apply in respect of an election described in the definition of “joint election” in the first paragraph of section 336.8, enacted by the first paragraph of section 336.9.

2009, c. 5, s. 121.

1972, c. 23.

342. An individual resident in Canada may deduct in computing his income for a year, an amount which he pays in the year or within 60 days following the end of the year for the acquisition of an income-averaging annuity for himself, under a contract with a person licensed or otherwise authorized by the laws of Canada or a province to carry on in Canada or in a province an annuities business or to offer trustee services there, to the extent that such amount has not already been deducted the preceding year.

1972, c. 23, s. 311; 1972, c. 26, s. 44.

343. To be entitled to the deduction provided in section 342, the individual must acquire the income-averaging annuity by

(a)  a single payment described in the second paragraph and made under the terms of a contract

i.  which entitles him to receive, during a period beginning not later than ten months after the date of such payment, either an annuity for life or such annuity with a guaranteed term for a number of years not exceeding the lesser of 15 and the difference between 85 and his age at the time the annuity commences to be paid to him, or an annuity for such guaranteed term; and

ii.  which shall not provide for payments other than the single payment by the individual and the equal annuity payments which must be paid to him annually or at more frequent periodic intervals; or

(b)  a single payment made in respect of his taxation year 1981, other than a single payment contemplated in subparagraph a according to the terms of a contract

i.  providing that all the payments to the individual under the contract must be made before 1 January 1983; and

ii.  providing no other payment than the single payment by the individual and the payments described in subparagraph i.

The single payment contemplated in subparagraph a of the first paragraph is a single payment made

(b)  after 12 November 1981 in accordance with an agreement in writing entered into before 13 November 1981 to make such a payment in respect of his taxation year 1981, or pursuant to an arrangement in writing made before that date to have funds withheld before 1 January 1982 from any of the individual’s remuneration described in paragraph a of section 344 and earned or received before the latter date and to be paid by or on behalf of the individual.

1972, c. 23, s. 312; 1974, c. 18, s. 19; 1984, c. 15, s. 81.

344. The amount which an individual may deduct under section 342 shall not exceed:

(a)  the aggregate of:

i.  the amounts contemplated in section 345 less any deduction allowable for the year under paragraphs d, e and f of section 339; and

ii.  the excess of the amount determined for the year under paragraph b of section 28 over the aggregate of his allowable business investment losses for the year;

iii.  the excess of the amount included in computing the individual’s income for the year under section 330 or 331, as the latter section applies in respect of a disposition made before 31 December 1984, over the aggregate of the amounts deducted in that computation under sections 333.1 and 362 to 418.12, section 88.4 of the Act respecting the application of the Taxation Act (chapter I-4) and sections 357 and 358, as they apply in respect of a disposition made before 13 November 1981;

iv.  his income for the year from the production of literary, dramatic, musical or artistic work; and

v.  his income for the year from his activities as an athlete, a musician or a public entertainer such as a theatre, motion picture, radio or television artist; less:

(b)  the amounts which the individual is to receive within the 12 months beginning on the date when the first payment is to be paid to him in respect of each income-averaging annuity.

1972, c. 23, s. 313; 1973, c. 18, s. 10; 1975, c. 22, s. 65; 1978, c. 26, s. 54; 1980, c. 13, s. 28; 1982, c. 5, s. 79; 1998, c. 16, s. 251; 2023, c. 19, s. 26.

345. The amounts mentioned in subparagraph i of paragraph a of section 344 are the following:

(a)  a single payment which the individual receives in the year:

i.  under a pension plan, upon the death, withdrawal or retirement of an employee or former employee, upon the winding up of the plan in full satisfaction of all rights of the participant in the plan or, when an amendment to the plan confers on him the right to receive such payment, although he continues to participate in it;

ii.  upon his retirement as an employee in recognition of long service, if such payment is not contemplated by subparagraph i of paragraph a;

iii.  pursuant to an employees profit sharing plan in full satisfaction of all his rights in or under the plan, to the extent that this payment is required to be included in computing his income for the year in which the payment was received; or

iv.  pursuant to a deferred profit sharing plan upon the death, withdrawal or retirement of an employee or former employee, to the extent that this payment is required to be included in computing his income for the year in which the payment was received;

(b)  a payment made to an individual in the year of his retirement or in the following year, in consideration of loss of office or employment, if such payment is made by an employer to the individual as an employee or former employee;

(c)  a payment made to the individual as a death benefit, if such payment is made in the year of death or within one year after that year;

(d)  an amount included in computing the individual’s income for the year under paragraph l of section 311 and sections 93 to 110.1, 186, 187, 196 or 197, 684 or 955;

(e)  an amount included in computing the individual’s income under section 929, but only to the extent that such amount is a refund of premiums, under a registered retirement savings plan, where the individual receives such amount on or after the death of the person who was, immediately before his death, the annuitant thereunder;

(f)  the benefit which the individual is deemed to have received under Division VI of Chapter II of Title II;

(g)  the excess over $500 of an amount received by the individual in the year as a prize for achievement in a field of endeavour which he ordinarily carries on;

(h)  a payment made in the year to an individual under paragraph b of subsection 2 of section 51 of the Judges Act (Revised Statutes of Canada, 1985, chapter J-1);

(i)  a payment that the individual receives in the year, under an order or decision of a competent court, as salary or wages owing by his employer or former employer, if part of that payment is received in respect of a previous year;

(j)  an amount included in computing the individual’s income for the year under paragraph c of section 46 of the Act respecting the application of the Taxation Act (chapter I-4), but only where the individual has not claimed a deduction in that computation under paragraph a of the said section 46; and

(k)  where the individual ceased to be a member of a partnership in the year or the preceding year and where, in computing his income therefrom for that preceding year, he made the election provided for in paragraph c of section 215, the amount included in computing his income for the year under paragraph a of section 28, to the extent that, having regard to all the circumstances, including the proportion in which the members of the partnership have agreed to share the profits of the partnership, such amount may reasonably be considered to be his share of the work in progress of the partnership at the time he ceased to be a member thereof if, during the remainder of the year in which he ceased to be a member thereof and in the following year, he did not become employed in the business carried on by the partnership, carry on a business that is a profession or become a member of another partnership carrying on a business that is a profession.

1972, c. 23, s. 314; 1973, c. 18, s. 11; 1975, c. 21, s. 11; 1977, c. 26, s. 31; 1980, c. 13, s. 29; 1982, c. 5, s. 80; 1988, c. 18, s. 22; 1996, c. 39, s. 273; 1997, c. 3, s. 71; 2001, c. 53, s. 260; 2003, c. 2, s. 110.

346. Where, at a particular time, an income-averaging annuity ceases to qualify as such otherwise than by virtue of the surrender, cancellation, redemption, sale or disposition of such contract, the individual is deemed to have received at that time as proceeds of disposition of the contract an amount equal to its fair market value at that time, and to have acquired immediately thereafter a contract other than an income-averaging annuity at a cost corresponding to that fair market value.

Any payment under an income-averaging annuity contract to which a deceased individual was entitled under the contract before he died and that is made under that contract after his death is deemed to be a payment made under such a contract.

1972, c. 23, s. 315; 1977, c. 26, s. 32.

CHAPTER VI.0.1 INCOME-AVERAGING ANNUITIES RESPECTING INCOME FROM ARTISTIC ACTIVITIES

2005, c. 23, s. 50.

346.0.1. An individual who is, in a taxation year, a recognized artist may deduct, in computing income for the year, an amount that the individual pays in the year or within 60 days after the end of the year to acquire an income-averaging annuity respecting income from artistic activities from a person described in the fourth paragraph, to the extent that that amount has not been deducted for the preceding year.

However, the amount that an individual may deduct for a taxation year under the first paragraph may not exceed an amount equal to the amount obtained by subtracting, from the portion of the individual’s income for the year that may reasonably be considered to be attributable to artistic activities in respect of which the individual is a recognized artist, the aggregate of $25,000 and the amount that the individual may deduct for the year under section 726.26.

In this section, “recognized artist” means an individual who is an artist within the meaning of the Act respecting the professional status of artists in the visual arts, film, the recording arts, literature, arts and crafts and the performing arts (chapter S-32.1).

A person to whom the first paragraph refers is a person who is licensed or otherwise authorized by the laws of Québec or Canada to carry on an annuities business in Québec or offer trustee services in Québec, and who is authorized by the Minister, in accordance with section 346.0.3, to offer an income-averaging annuity respecting income from artistic activities for the purposes of this chapter.

2005, c. 23, s. 50; 2006, c. 36, s. 36; 2022, c. 20, s. 35.

346.0.2. No individual may deduct an amount under section 346.0.1 unless the contract under which the individual acquires an income-averaging annuity respecting income from artistic activities is consistent with the standard contract previously approved by the Minister and provides for stipulations consistent with the following provisions:

(a)   the income-averaging annuity respecting income from artistic activities is acquired in consideration for a single payment;

(b)  the income-averaging annuity respecting income from artistic activities is payable, at least once a year or at more frequent periodic intervals, in equal payments sufficient to ensure its full payment over a period not exceeding seven years from the date on which the first payment is made, which payment must be made not later than ten months after the date on which the single payment referred to in paragraph a is made;

(c)  the individual is entitled to request, at any time, the full or partial commutation of the income-averaging annuity respecting income from artistic activities;

(d)  the income-averaging annuity payments respecting income from artistic activities may only be made to the individual or, after the individual’s death, to a person designated by the individual under the contract, the individual’s succession or any of the beneficiaries of the individual’s succession, as the case may be;

(e)  except in case of death, the rights of the individual as annuitant may not be disposed of otherwise than by the redemption or cancellation of the income-averaging annuity respecting income from artistic activities by the debtor; and

(f)  the rights of the individual as annuitant may not be given or transferred as security in any manner whatsoever.

2005, c. 23, s. 50.

346.0.3. For the purposes of the fourth paragraph of section 346.0.1, the Minister may authorize a person to offer an income-averaging annuity respecting income from artistic activities if

(a)  the person first submitted to the Minister for approval a standard contract containing stipulations consistent with the provisions mentioned in paragraphs a to f of section 346.0.2; and

(b)  the person undertakes with the Minister that any annuity contract the person enters into with an individual to enable the individual to benefit from the deduction under section 346.0.1 be consistent with that standard contract.

2005, c. 23, s. 50.

346.0.4. If an individual dies and an amount the individual was entitled to receive before dying under an income-averaging annuity contract respecting income from artistic activities is paid after the individual’s death under that contract, that amount is deemed to be an amount paid under such a contract.

2005, c. 23, s. 50.

CHAPTER VI.1 DEBT FORGIVENESS

1996, c. 39, s. 106.

346.1. There may be deducted in computing the income for a taxation year of an individual, other than a trust, resident in Canada throughout the year such amount as the individual claims not exceeding the amount determined by the formula

A + B − 0.2 (C − $40,000).

For the purposes of the formula in the first paragraph,

(a)  A is the amount by which the aggregate of all amounts each of which is an amount that, because of the application of sections 485 to 485.18 to an obligation payable by the individual, or a partnership of which the individual was a member, was included under section 485.13 in computing the income of the individual for the year or the income of the partnership for a fiscal period that ends in the year, to the extent that, where the amount was included in computing income of a partnership, it relates to the individual’s share of that income, exceeds the aggregate of all amounts deducted because of paragraph a of section 485.15 in computing the individual’s income for the year;

(b)  B is the amount included under section 313.7 in computing the individual’s income for the year; and

(c)  C is the greater of $40,000 and the individual’s income for the year, determined without reference to this section, section 313.7, paragraph j of section 336, section 485.13 and paragraph a of section 485.15.

1996, c. 39, s. 106; 1997, c. 3, s. 71; 1998, c. 16, s. 251.

346.2. Subject to section 346.3, there shall be deducted in computing the income for a taxation year of a corporation that is not exempt from tax under this Part on its taxable income, the lesser of

(a)  the amount by which the aggregate of all amounts each of which is an amount that, because of the application of sections 485 to 485.18 to a commercial obligation, within the meaning assigned by section 485, issued by the corporation, or a partnership of which the corporation was a member, was included under section 485.13 in computing the income of the corporation for the year or the income of the partnership for a fiscal period that ends in the year, to the extent that the amount, where it was included in computing income of a partnership, relates to the corporation’s share of that income, exceeds the aggregate of all amounts deducted because of paragraph a of section 485.15, in computing the corporation’s income for the year; and

(b)  the amount determined by the formula

A − 2 (B − C − D − E).

For the purposes of the formula in subparagraph b of the first paragraph,

(b)  B is the aggregate of

i.  the fair market value of the assets of the corporation at the end of the year,

ii.  the amounts paid before the end of the year on account of the corporation’s tax payable under this Part or any of Parts III.11, IV, IV.1, VI, VI.1 and VII for the year or on account of a tax payable by the corporation for the year, under any of Parts I, I.3, II, VI and XIV of the Income Tax Act (R.S.C. 1985, c. 1 (5th Suppl.)) or under any similar part of an Act of a province other than Québec, and

iii.  all amounts paid by the corporation in the 12-month period preceding the end of the year to a person with whom the corporation does not deal at arm’s length

(1)  as a dividend, other than a stock dividend,

(2)  on a reduction of paid-up capital in respect of any class of shares of its capital stock,

(3)  on a redemption, acquisition or cancellation of its shares, or

(4)  as a distribution or appropriation in any manner whatever to or for the benefit of the shareholders, to the extent that the distribution or appropriation cannot reasonably be considered to have resulted in a reduction in the amount otherwise determined under subparagraph c in respect of the corporation for the year;

(c)  C is the total liabilities of the corporation at the end of the year determined in accordance with the rules set out in the third paragraph and without reference to any tax payable by the corporation for the year under this Part and Parts III.11, IV, IV.1, VI, VI.1 and VII or to a tax payable by the corporation for the year under any of Parts I, I.3, II, VI and XIV of the Income Tax Act or under any similar part of an Act of a province other than Québec,

(d)  D is the aggregate of all amounts each of which is the principal amount at the end of the year of a distress preferred share, within the meaning assigned by section 485, issued by the corporation; and

(e)  E is 50% of the amount by which the amount that would be the corporation’s income for the year if that amount were determined without reference to this section and sections 346.3 and 346.4 exceeds the amount determined under subparagraph a of the first paragraph in respect of the corporation for the year.

For the purposes of subparagraph c of the second paragraph, except as otherwise provided therein, the total liabilities of a corporation shall

(a)  where the corporation is not an insurance corporation, a federal credit union or a bank to which subparagraph b or c applies and the balance sheet as of the end of the year was prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles and was presented to the shareholders of the corporation, be considered to be the total liabilities shown on that balance sheet;

(b)  where the corporation is a bank, a federal credit union or an insurance corporation that is required to report to the Superintendent of Financial Institutions of Canada and the balance sheet as of the end of the year was accepted by the Superintendent, be considered to be the total liabilities shown on that balance sheet;

(c)  where the corporation is an insurance corporation that is required to report to the superintendent of insurance or other similar officer or authority of the province under whose laws the corporation is incorporated, or the Autorité des marchés financiers, and the balance sheet as of the end of the year was accepted by that officer or authority, be considered to be the total liabilities shown on that balance sheet; and

(d)  in any other case, be considered to be the amount that would be shown as total liabilities of the corporation at the end of the year on a balance sheet prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles.

Subparagraph c of the second paragraph and the third paragraph apply, subject to section 7.12.

1996, c. 39, s. 106; 1997, c. 3, s. 71; 1997, c. 14, s. 64; 2000, c. 5, s. 90; 2002, c. 45, s. 520; 2004, c. 37, s. 90; 2013, c. 10, s. 27.

346.3. Section 346.2 does not apply in respect of a corporation for a taxation year where property was transferred in the 12-month period preceding the end of the year or the corporation became indebted in that period and it can reasonably be considered that one of the reasons for the transfer or the indebtedness was to increase the amount that the corporation would, but for this section, be entitled to deduct under that section 346.2.

1996, c. 39, s. 106; 1997, c. 3, s. 71.

346.4. There may be deducted as a reserve in computing the income for a taxation year of a taxpayer that is a corporation or trust resident in Canada throughout the year or a person not resident in Canada who carried on business through a fixed place of business in Canada at the end of the year such amount as the taxpayer claims not exceeding the least of

(a)  the amount determined by the formula

A − B;

A taxpayer who is an individual and who, throughout a period (in this chapter referred to as the “qualifying period”) of not less than six consecutive months commencing or ending in a taxation year, has resided in one or more particular areas each of which was a prescribed northern zone or prescribed intermediate zone for the year may, if the taxpayer encloses the prescribed form containing prescribed information with the fiscal return the taxpayer is required to file for the year under section 1000, deduct, in computing the taxpayer’s income for the year, the amount determined in respect of the taxpayer under section 350.2.

2003, c. 9, s. 27; 2023, c. 2, s. 9.

350.2. The amount to which section 350.1 refers is equal to the aggregate of

(a)  the aggregate of all amounts each of which is an amount determined, in respect of a particular period of the year, by the formula

A × B; and

(b)  the amount is not taken into account in determining an amount deducted under section 752.0.11 for a taxation year;

(c)  the amount is in respect of trips made by the taxpayer or an eligible family member of the taxpayer that begin during the part of the year in which the taxpayer resided in the particular area; and

2023, c. 2, s. 12.

350.4. The amount determined under subparagraph ii of subparagraph b of the first paragraph of section 350.2 in respect of a taxpayer for a taxation year in relation to a particular area shall not exceed the amount by which the aggregate of the amounts otherwise determined under that subparagraph ii for the year in relation to that particular area exceeds the value of expenses, or an allowance in respect of expenses incurred by the taxpayer, for the taxpayer’s board and lodging in the particular area, other than at a work site described in subparagraph d.1 of the first paragraph of section 421.2, that

(a)  would, but for subparagraph i of paragraph a of section 42, be included in computing the taxpayer’s income for the year; and

The excess amount to which the first paragraph refers is the amount by which the aggregate of the following amounts exceeds any assistance that the taxpayer or a partnership of which the taxpayer is a member has received or is entitled to receive in respect of the expenses referred to in any of subparagraphs a, b and c:

(a)  all Canadian development expenses, other than restricted expenses, described in subparagraph ii of paragraph a of section 408 in respect of the well that are deemed under section 359.5 or sections 417 and 418, as they read in respect of those expenses, to have been incurred by the taxpayer in the year or a preceding taxation year;

(b)  all Canadian development expenses, other than restricted expenses, described in subparagraph ii of paragraph a of section 408 in respect of the well that are required under the second paragraph of section 392 to be included by the taxpayer in the amount referred to in paragraph a of section 408 for the year or a preceding taxation year; and

399.6. For the purposes of this chapter, the expression “restricted expense” of a taxpayer means an expense

(a)  incurred by him before 1 April 1987;

(b)  that is deemed under section 418 to have been incurred by him, or included by him in the amount referred to in paragraph a of section 408 by virtue of the second paragraph of section 392, to the extent that the expense was originally incurred before 1 April 1987;

(c)  that was renounced by him under section 359.2.1 or 359.4 or section 417, as it read in respect of the renunciation;

(d)  in respect of which an amount referred to in section 392 becomes receivable by him;

(e)  deemed to be a Canadian exploration expense of the taxpayer or any other taxpayer by virtue of section 399.3; or

399.7. In this chapter,

“Canadian renewable and conservation expense” has the meaning assigned by the regulations;

“specified purpose” means

(a)  the operation of an oil or gas well for the sole purpose of testing the well or the well head and related equipment, in accordance with generally accepted engineering practices;

(b)  the burning of natural gas and related hydrocarbons to protect the environment; and

The amount that, for the purposes of the third paragraph, is required to be determined under this paragraph is the aggregate of

(a)  any other amount deducted for the year under this section, section 418.17 or section 418.19 as a consequence of the application of subparagraph c of the first paragraph of section 418.20, that can reasonably be attributed to the part of the corporation’s income for the year, described in subparagraph a of the third paragraph, in relation to the particular property;

i.  for the purpose of computing an amount under the third paragraph of section 418.17 or 418.17.3 or subparagraph c of the first paragraph of section 418.20, as that subparagraph would read if “to the higher of either 30% of the excess amount referred to in the second paragraph of the said section, or the amount by which” was replaced by “to the amount by which”, to be income of the transferee from the sources described in paragraph a or b of section 418.29 for its taxation year in which that taxation year of the transferor ends, and

(h)  where that time is after 15 January 1987 and at that time the corporation was a member of a partnership that owned a Canadian resource property or a foreign resource property at that time, for the purposes of subparagraph a, the corporation is deemed to have owned immediately before that time that portion of the property owned by the partnership at that time that is equal to its percentage share of the aggregate of amounts that would be paid to all members of the partnership if it were wound up at that time, and, for the purposes of subparagraph iii of subparagraph a of the third paragraph of section 418.16, subparagraph 2 of subparagraph i of subparagraph a of the third paragraph of section 418.17, subparagraph a of the third paragraph of section 418.17.3, subparagraph iii of subparagraph a of the third paragraph of section 418.18, subparagraph 2 of subparagraph i of subparagraph a of the third paragraph of section 418.19, subparagraph i of subparagraph c of the first paragraph of section 418.20 and subparagraph 2 of subparagraph i of subparagraph a of the third paragraph of section 418.21 and of section 88.4 of the Act respecting the application of the Taxation Act, to the extent that that section refers to clause B of subparagraph i of paragraph d of subsection 25 of section 29 of the Income Tax Application Rules, for a taxation year ending after that time, the lesser of the following amounts is deemed to be the income of the corporation for the year that can reasonably be attributed to production from the property:

CHAPTER II INADEQUATE CONSIDERATIONS AND ATTRIBUTION OF PROPERTY

1972, c. 23.

422. Except as otherwise provided in this Part, the disposition or acquisition of a property by a taxpayer is deemed to be made at the fair market value of the property at the time of the disposition or acquisition, as the case may be, where

(a)  the taxpayer acquires it by gift, succession or will, or because of a disposition that does not result in a change in the beneficial ownership of the property;

(b)  the taxpayer acquires it from a person with whom he is not dealing at arm’s length, for an amount greater than such value; or

(c)  the taxpayer disposes of it

i.  to a person with whom the taxpayer is not dealing at arm’s length, gratuitously or for consideration that is less than that fair market value,

ii.  to any person by gift or

iii.  to a trust because of a disposition that does not result in a change in the beneficial ownership of the property.

1972, c. 23, s. 357; 2001, c. 53, s. 68; 2003, c. 2, s. 115; 2017, c. 29, s. 63.

422.1. Where, at any time, a taxpayer disposed of property for proceeds of disposition, determined without reference to this section, equal to or greater than the fair market value at that time of the property, and there existed at that time an agreement under which a person with whom the taxpayer was not dealing at arm’s length agreed to pay as rent, royalty or other payment for the use of or the right to use the property an amount less than the amount that would have been reasonable in the circumstances if the taxpayer and the person had been dealing at arm’s length at the time the agreement was entered into, the proceeds of disposition of the property are deemed to be the greater of

(a)  such proceeds determined without reference to this section, and

(b)  the fair market value of the property at the time of the disposition, determined without reference to the existence of the agreement.

424. If, at any time, a property of a corporation is appropriated in any manner whatever to or for the benefit of a shareholder of the corporation gratuitously or for consideration that is less than the property’s fair market value and a sale of the property at its fair market value would have contributed to increase the corporation’s income or to reduce a loss of the corporation, the corporation is deemed, at that time, to have disposed of the property and to have received proceeds of disposition equal to its fair market value at that time.

If, in a taxation year of a corporation, a property is appropriated in any manner whatever to or for the benefit of a shareholder upon the winding-up of the corporation, the following rules apply:

(a)  the disposition is to a person referred to in section 90 gratuitously or for a consideration less than that fair market value; or

(b)  the acquisition is from a person referred to in section 90 for an amount greater than that fair market value.

426. For the purposes of section 425, the fair market value of property referred to in that section is

(a)  in the case of a disposition by the taxpayer to a person referred to in section 90, deemed to be equal, at the time of disposition, for each unit of any particular quantity of such property, to the amount by which the average proceeds of disposition of a like unit that become receivable by that person in the month that includes the time of the disposition from a person other than a person referred to in section 90, exceeds the aggregate of

i.  the average aggregate of reasonable and necessary expenses, including depreciation, but not the cost of acquisition, incurred by that person referred to in section 90 in respect of such a unit for that month, that may reasonably be attributed to the transporting, marketing or processing of that unit, and

ii.   in respect of the unit disposed of by the taxpayer, the amount that may reasonably be considered to be an amount that became receivable by Her Majesty in right of Canada for the use and benefit of a band as defined in the Indian Act (Revised Statutes of Canada, 1985, chapter I-5); and

(b)  in the case of an acquisition by the taxpayer from a person referred to in section 90, computed without taking into account any law or contract requiring the taxpayer to acquire that property, and deemed to be equal, at the time of acquisition, for each unit of any particular quantity of such property, to the aggregate of

i.  the amount paid or payable to the taxpayer by that person in respect of that unit, and

ii.  the amount in respect of that unit paid or payable to Her Majesty in right of Canada by that person for the use and benefit of a band as defined in the Indian Act.

427.4. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Part, where, at any particular time as part of a series of transactions or events, a taxpayer disposes of property for proceeds of disposition that are less than its fair market value, the taxpayer is deemed to have disposed of the property at that time for proceeds of disposition equal to its fair market value at that time, if

(a)  it may reasonably be considered that one of the main purposes of the series of transactions or events is to obtain the benefit of

i.  any deduction described in the second paragraph or any balance of undeducted outlays, expenses or other amounts available to a person, other than a person that would be affiliated with the taxpayer immediately before the series of transactions or events, but for the definition of “controlled” in section 21.0.1, in respect of a subsequent disposition of the property or property substituted for the property, or

ii.  an exemption available to any person from tax payable under this Part on any income arising on a subsequent disposition of the property or property substituted for the property; and

(b)  the subsequent disposition referred to in paragraph a occurs, or arrangements for the subsequent disposition are made, before the day that is three years after the particular time.

2000, c. 5, s. 101; 2007, c. 12, s. 55.

427.4.2. For the purposes of section 427.4, where a taxpayer is incorporated or otherwise comes into existence at a particular time during a series of transactions or events, the taxpayer is deemed

(a)  to have existed at the time that was immediately before the series of transactions or events began; and

(b)  to have been affiliated, at the time that was immediately before the series of transactions or events began, with every person with whom the taxpayer is affiliated, otherwise than because of a right referred to in paragraph b of section 20, at the particular time.

(2)  if the property is land, other than land to which subparagraph 1 applies, or a share of the capital stock of a family farm or fishing corporation of the individual, the adjusted cost base of the property to the individual immediately before the time of the disposition of the property,

iii.  if the property is, immediately before the individual’s death, an interest in a family farm or fishing partnership of the individual, other than an interest to which section 636 applies, the following rules apply:

iv.  for the purposes of sections 93 to 104, Chapter III of Title III and any regulations under paragraph a of section 130 or section 130.1, if a depreciable property of a prescribed class of the individual is deemed under subparagraph ii to be acquired by the child because of the individual’s death, except where the individual’s proceeds of disposition of the property determined under subparagraph ii are redetermined under sections 93.1 to 93.3, and the capital cost of the property to the individual exceeds the amount determined under subparagraph ii to be the cost of the property to the child, the following rules apply:

(1)  the capital cost of the property to the child is deemed to be equal to the capital cost of the property to the individual, and

(2)  the excess is deemed to have been allowed to the child as depreciation in respect of the property for the taxation years that ended before the acquisition, and

v.  despite subparagraph ii, if a property of the individual is deemed under subparagraph ii to be acquired by the child because of the individual’s death, and the individual’s proceeds of disposition of the property determined under subparagraph ii are redetermined under sections 93.1 to 93.3, the following rules apply:

(1)  for the purposes of sections 93 to 104, Chapter III of Title III and any regulations under paragraph a of section 130 or section 130.1, if the property is a depreciable property of a prescribed class of the individual and the capital cost of the property to the individual exceeds the amount so redetermined under sections 93.1 to 93.3, the capital cost of the property to the child is deemed to be equal to the capital cost of the property to the individual, and the excess is deemed to have been allowed to the child as depreciation in respect of the property for the taxation years that ended before the acquisition, and

(2)  if the property is land, other than land to which subparagraph 1 applies, the cost of the property to the child is deemed to be equal to the individual’s proceeds of disposition of the property as redetermined under sections 93.1 to 93.3; and

(b)  if the individual’s legal representative makes a valid election under paragraph b of subsection 9.01 or 9.21 of section 70 of the Income Tax Act in the individual’s fiscal return filed under Part I of that Act for the year in which the individual died, to have that paragraph b apply to the individual and the child in respect of the property,

i.  subparagraph a applies without reference to its subparagraphs ii and iii and as if the references to that subparagraph ii in subparagraphs iv and v of that subparagraph a were read as references to subparagraph ii of this subparagraph b,

ii.  subject to subparagraph iii, the individual is deemed, immediately before the individual’s death, to have disposed of the property and received, at the time and in respect of the disposition, proceeds of disposition equal to

(1)  subject to the third paragraph and unless otherwise specified by the individual’s legal representative, the amount established in accordance with section 450.5 that is designated in respect of the property by the individual’s legal representative in the individual’s fiscal return filed in accordance with section 1000 for the year in which the individual died, if the individual, immediately before the individual’s death, and the child, at the end of the child’s taxation year in which the death occurred, were resident in Québec and the proportion determined under the second paragraph of section 22, in respect of each of those two latter persons to whom that second paragraph applies for the year in which the individual died, was not less than 9/10 for that year, or

(2)  the amount that is determined in respect of the property under paragraph b of that subsection 9.01 or 9.21, if subparagraph 1 does not apply in respect of the property,

iii.  subparagraph iii of subparagraph a applies in respect of a property described in that subparagraph iii, if the individual’s legal representative makes another valid election under subparagraph iii of paragraph b of subsection 9.21 of section 70 of the Income Tax Act in the individual’s fiscal return filed under Part I of that Act for the year in which the individual died, to have that subparagraph iii of paragraph b apply to the individual in respect of the property, and

iv.  the child is deemed to have acquired the property

(1)  immediately after the time of the disposition of the property and at a cost equal to the proceeds of disposition established in respect of the property under subparagraph ii, or

(2)  if subparagraph iii applies, at the time of the individual’s death and at a cost equal to the cost of the interest to the individual immediately before the time that is immediately before the time of the individual’s death.

However, subparagraph 1 of subparagraph ii of subparagraph b of the second paragraph does not apply in respect of the property unless all or substantially all of the difference between the amount that would, but for that subparagraph 1, be referred to in respect of the property in subparagraph 2 of that subparagraph ii and the amount designated in its respect in that subparagraph 1, is justified by a difference between the cost amount of the property to the individual, immediately before the individual’s death, for the purposes of Part I of the Income Tax Act and the cost amount, at that time, for the purposes of this Part, or by another reason considered by the Minister to be acceptable in the circumstances.

On application by the legal representative of the deceased individual, the Minister may allow subparagraph 1 of subparagraph ii of subparagraph b of the second paragraph to be deemed not to have applied in respect of the property, or may allow the legal representative, after the individual’s filing-due date for the year in which the individual died, to designate pursuant to that subparagraph i an amount or a new amount in respect of the property; in the latter case, the new amount designated is deemed to be the only amount designated by the legal representative under that subparagraph in respect of the property.

Where an application made under the fourth paragraph is granted by the Minister, the legal representative of the deceased individual incurs a penalty equal to $100 for each complete month from the individual’s filing-due date for the year in which the individual died and ending on the day on which the application referred to in that paragraph is sent to the Minister; in such case, this paragraph is deemed not to apply in respect of any other such application made previously by the legal representative in respect of the transfer of the property.

Where, in respect of the property and by virtue of subsection 3.2 of section 220 of the Income Tax Act, the time for making the election under paragraph b of subsection 9.01 or 9.21 of section 70 of that Act is extended or such an election made previously is amended or rescinded, the legal representative of the deceased individual

(a)  shall notify the Minister in writing and attach to the notice a copy of the document to that effect sent by the legal representative to the Minister of Revenue of Canada; and

(b)  incurs a penalty equal to $100 for each complete month from the individual’s filing-due date for the year of the individual’s death and ending on the day on which the notice referred to in subparagraph a is sent to the Minister.

However, the total amount of the penalties that the legal representative of the deceased individual incurs under this section in respect of the property may not exceed the greater of the penalties that the legal representative would otherwise incur in respect of the property, under the fifth paragraph or subparagraph b of the sixth paragraph nor $5,000.

Notwithstanding sections 1010 to 1011, such assessments of tax, interest and penalties under this Part shall be made as are necessary by the Minister for any taxation year to take into account the granting by the Minister of an application made under the fourth paragraph, or the election or the amended or rescinded election referred to in the sixth paragraph.

(a)  the time limit to file the fiscal return contemplated in paragraph c of subsection 2 of section 1000 is extended to 18 months after the individual’s death; and

446. Where the fair market value, immediately after the individual’s death, of the properties referred to in paragraph b of section 445 exceeds the debts of the individual, minus the amounts described in section 449, and the legal representative designates one property, in the return referred to in that paragraph b, that is capital property other than depreciable property or money,

(a)  the capital gain or capital loss, as the case may be, from the disposition that such individual is deemed to have made of that capital property under section 436 is the portion of that gain or loss represented by the proportion between the amount by which the fair market value of that capital property immediately after his death exceeds that excess, and that fair market value at the same time; and

(b)  the cost of that capital property to the trust is, where the individual has a capital gain contemplated in paragraph a, the aggregate of the adjusted cost base of that capital property to him immediately before his death and the capital gain so determined or, where the individual has a capital loss contemplated in the said paragraph, the amount by which the adjusted cost base to him immediately before his death exceeds the capital loss so determined.

448. The debts contemplated in sections 445 and 446, for an individual, mean any amount unpaid immediately before his death in respect of a debt or other obligation to pay and any amount payable by reason of his death, except an amount payable to a person as a beneficiary of the succession; they include tax payable by the individual or for him for any taxation year and all duties payable by reason of his death.

1973, c. 17, s. 49; 1998, c. 16, s. 251.

449. The amounts that must be deducted from the debts of the individual under paragraph b of section 445 and section 446 are the duties payable, by reason of the individual’s death, in respect of any property of the trust or any right in such a property, and any debt secured by a hypothec or mortgage on property owned by the individual immediately before the individual’s death.

1973, c. 17, s. 49; 1996, c. 39, s. 127; 2005, c. 1, s. 105; 2020, c. 16, s. 69.

450. The rules set out in the second paragraph apply to a trust and a child of the settlor of the trust in respect of a property to which sections 653 to 656.1 would, if this Act were read without reference to this section, apply to the trust because of the death of the beneficiary under the trust who was the settlor’s spouse if

(a)  the property, or a property for which the property was substituted, was transferred to the trust by the settlor;

(b)  section 440, section 454, as that section applied in respect of a transfer that occurred before 1 January 2000, or subparagraph i of paragraph c of section 454.1 applied to the settlor and the trust in respect of the transfer referred to in subparagraph a;

(c)  the property is, immediately before the beneficiary’s death,

i.  land or a depreciable property of a prescribed class of the trust that was used in a farming or fishing business carried on in Canada,

ii.  a share of the capital stock of a Canadian corporation that would, immediately before the beneficiary’s death, be a share of the capital stock of a family farm or fishing corporation of the settlor, if the settlor owned the share at that time and subparagraph i of subparagraph a.2 of the first paragraph of section 451 were read without reference to “in which the individual or the spouse, a child or the father or mother of the individual was actively engaged on a regular and continuous basis (or, in the case of property used in the operation of a woodlot, was engaged to the extent required by a prescribed forest management plan in respect of that woodlot)”, or

iii.  (subparagraph repealed);

iv.  an interest in a partnership that carried on in Canada a farming or fishing business in which it used all or substantially all of the property;

(d)  in the case of a property referred to in subparagraph ii or iv of subparagraph c, the property, or a property for which the property was substituted, transferred to the trust by the settlor was, immediately before the transfer, a share of the capital stock of a family farm or fishing corporation of the settlor or an interest in a family farm or fishing partnership of the settlor;

(e)  the child of the settlor was resident in Canada immediately before the day on which the beneficiary died; and

(f)  because of the beneficiary’s death, the property is transferred to and becomes vested indefeasibly in the settlor’s child within the period ending 36 months after the beneficiary’s death or, if application has been made to the Minister by the beneficiary’s legal representative before the expiry of that period, within any longer period that the Minister considers reasonable.

The rules to which the first paragraph refers are the following:

(a)  if the trust does not make a valid election under paragraph b of subsection 9.11 or 9.31 of section 70 of the Income Tax Act (R.S.C. 1985, c. 1 (5th Suppl.)) in the trust’s fiscal return filed under Part I of that Act for the year in which the beneficiary died, to have that paragraph b apply to the trust in respect of the property,

i.  sections 422 and 653 to 656.1 do not apply to the trust and the child in respect of the property,

ii.  the trust is deemed, immediately before the beneficiary’s death, to have disposed of the property and received, at the time and in respect of the disposition of the property, proceeds of disposition equal to the following amount, and the child is deemed, immediately after the time and in respect of the disposition of the property, to have acquired the property at a cost equal to those proceeds:

(1)  if the property is a depreciable property of a prescribed class, the lesser of the capital cost of the property to the trust and the amount, determined immediately before the time of the disposition of the property, that is equal to that proportion of the undepreciated capital cost of property of that class to the trust that the capital cost of the property to the trust is of the capital cost to the trust of all property of that class that had not, at or before that time, been disposed of, and

(2)  if the property is land, other than land to which subparagraph 1 applies, or, immediately before the beneficiary’s death, a share referred to in subparagraph ii of subparagraph c of the first paragraph, the adjusted cost base of the property to the trust immediately before the time of the disposition of the property,

iii.  if the property is, immediately before the beneficiary’s death, an interest in a partnership described in subparagraph iv of subparagraph c of the first paragraph, other than an interest to which section 636 applies, the following rules apply:

(1)  the trust is deemed, except for the purposes of section 632, not to have disposed of the property because of the beneficiary’s death,

(2)  the child is deemed to have acquired the property at the time of the beneficiary’s death at a cost equal to the cost of the interest to the trust immediately before the time that is immediately before the time of the beneficiary’s death, and

(3)  each amount required by section 255 or 257 to be added or deducted in computing the adjusted cost base of the property to the trust, immediately before the beneficiary’s death, is deemed to be an amount required by that section 255 or 257 to be added or deducted in computing, at any time at or after the beneficiary’s death, the adjusted cost base of the property to the child,

iv.  for the purposes of sections 93 to 104, Chapter III of Title III and any regulations under paragraph a of section 130 or section 130.1, if a depreciable property of a prescribed class of the trust is deemed under subparagraph ii to be acquired by the child because of the death of the beneficiary under the trust, except where the trust’s proceeds of disposition of the property determined under subparagraph ii are redetermined under sections 93.1 to 93.3, and the capital cost of the property to the trust exceeds the amount determined under subparagraph ii to be the cost of the property to the child, the following rules apply:

(1)  the capital cost of the property to the child is deemed to be equal to the capital cost of the property to the trust, and

(2)  the excess is deemed to have been allowed to the child as depreciation in respect of the property for the taxation years that ended before the acquisition, and

v.  despite subparagraph ii, if a property of the trust is deemed under subparagraph ii to be acquired by the child because of the death of the beneficiary under the trust, and the trust’s proceeds of disposition of the property determined under subparagraph ii are redetermined under sections 93.1 to 93.3, the following rules apply:

(1)  for the purposes of sections 93 to 104, Chapter III of Title III and any regulations under paragraph a of section 130 or section 130.1, if the property is a depreciable property of a prescribed class and the capital cost of the property to the trust exceeds the amount so redetermined under sections 93.1 to 93.3, the capital cost of the property to the child is deemed to be equal to the capital cost of the property to the trust, and the excess is deemed to have been allowed to the child as depreciation in respect of the property for the taxation years that ended before the acquisition, and

(2)  if the property is land, other than land to which subparagraph 1 applies, the cost of the property to the child is deemed to be equal to the trust’s proceeds of disposition of the property as redetermined under sections 93.1 to 93.3; and

(b)  if the trust makes a valid election under paragraph b of subsection 9.11 or 9.31 of section 70 of the Income Tax Act in the trust’s fiscal return filed under Part I of that Act for the year in which the beneficiary died, to have that paragraph b apply to the trust in respect of the property,

i.  subparagraph a applies without reference to its subparagraphs i, ii and iii and as if the references to that subparagraph ii in subparagraphs iv and v of that subparagraph a were read as references to subparagraph iv of this subparagraph b,

ii.  if the property is described in subparagraph i of subparagraph c of the first paragraph, sections 653 to 656.1 do not apply to the trust in respect of the property,

iii.  if the property is described in subparagraph ii or iv of subparagraph c of the first paragraph, section 422 does not apply to the trust and the child in respect of the transfer of the property and section 653 does not apply to the trust in respect of the property,

iv.  subject to subparagraph v, the trust is deemed, immediately before the beneficiary’s death, to have disposed of the property and received, at the time and in respect of the disposition, proceeds of disposition equal to

(1)  subject to the third paragraph and unless otherwise specified by the trust, the amount established in accordance with section 450.5 that is designated in respect of the property by the trust in the trust’s fiscal return filed in accordance with section 1000 for the year in which the beneficiary under the trust died, if the trust and the child, at the end of their respective taxation year in which the death occurred, were resident in Québec and the proportion determined under the second paragraph of section 22, in respect of each of those two latter persons to whom that second paragraph applies for the year in which the beneficiary under the trust died, was not less than 9/10 for that year, or

(2)  the amount that is determined in respect of the property under paragraph b of that subsection 9.11 or 9.31, if subparagraph 1 does not apply in respect of the property,

v.  subparagraph iii of subparagraph a applies in respect of a property described in that subparagraph iii, if the trust makes another valid election under subparagraph iii of paragraph b of subsection 9.31 of section 70 of the Income Tax Act in the trust’s fiscal return filed under Part I of that Act for the year in which the beneficiary died, to have that subparagraph iii of paragraph b apply to the trust in respect of the property, and

vi.  the child is deemed to have acquired the property

(1)  immediately after the time of the disposition of the property and at a cost equal to the proceeds of disposition established in respect of the property under subparagraph iv, or

(2)  if subparagraph v applies, at the time of the beneficiary’s death and at a cost equal to the cost of the interest to the trust immediately before the time that is immediately before the time of the beneficiary’s death.

However, subparagraph 1 of subparagraph iv of subparagraph b of the second paragraph does not apply in respect of the property unless all or substantially all of the difference between the amount that would, but for that subparagraph 1, be referred to in respect of the property in subparagraph 2 of that subparagraph iv and the amount designated in its respect in that subparagraph 1, is justified by a difference between the cost amount of the property to the trust, immediately before the beneficiary’s death, for the purposes of Part I of the Income Tax Act and the cost amount, at that time, for the purposes of this Part, or by another reason considered by the Minister to be acceptable in the circumstances.

On application by the trust, the Minister may allow subparagraph 1 of subparagraph iv of subparagraph b of the second paragraph to be deemed not to have applied in respect of the property, or may allow the trust, after the trust’s filing-due date for the year in which the spouse died, to designate pursuant to that subparagraph i an amount or a new amount in respect of the property; in the latter case, the new amount designated is deemed to be the only amount designated by the trust under that subparagraph in respect of the property.

Where an application made under the fourth paragraph is granted by the Minister, the trust incurs a penalty equal to $100 for each complete month from the trust’s filing-due date for the year in which the spouse died and ending on the day on which the application referred to in that paragraph is sent to the Minister; in such case, this paragraph is deemed not to apply in respect of any other such application made previously by the trust in respect of the transfer of the property.

Where, in respect of the property and by virtue of subsection 3.2 of section 220 of the Income Tax Act, the time for making the election under paragraph b of subsection 9.11 or 9.31 of section 70 of that Act is extended or such an election made previously is amended or rescinded, the trust

(a)  shall notify the Minister in writing and attach to the notice a copy of the document to that effect sent by the trust to the Minister of Revenue of Canada; and

(b)  incurs a penalty equal to $100 for each complete month from the trust’s filing-due date for the year in which the spouse died and ending on the day on which the notice referred to in subparagraph a is sent to the Minister.

However, the total amount of the penalties that the trust incurs under this section in respect of the property may not exceed the greater of the penalties that the trust would otherwise incur in respect of the property, under the fifth paragraph or subparagraph b of the sixth paragraph nor $5,000.

Notwithstanding sections 1010 to 1011, such assessments of tax, interest and penalties under this Part shall be made as are necessary by the Minister for any taxation year to take into account the granting by the Minister of an application made under the fourth paragraph, or the election or the amended or rescinded election referred to in the sixth paragraph.

For the purposes of sections 436, 439, 439.1 and 653, the fair market value at a particular time of any property deemed to have been disposed of at that time because of a particular individual’s death is to be determined as though the fair market value at that time of any annuity contract were equal to the aggregate of all amounts each of which is the amount of a premium paid at or before that time under the contract if

(a)  the contract is, in respect of a leveraged insured annuity policy, a contract referred to in subparagraph ii of paragraph b of the definition of “leveraged insured annuity policy” in section 1; and

(b)  the particular individual is the individual, in respect of the leveraged insured annuity policy, referred to in subparagraph ii of paragraph b of the definition of “leveraged insured annuity policy” in section 1.

(a)  the fair market value of the property immediately before the time of its disposition; and

(b)  where

i.  the property is a depreciable property of a prescribed class, the lesser of the capital cost of the property to the individual or to the trust and the amount, determined immediately before the time of the disposition of the property, that is equal to that proportion of the undepreciated capital cost of the property of that class to the individual or to the trust that the capital cost of the property to the individual or to the trust is of the capital cost to the individual or to the trust of all the property of that class that had not, at or before that time, been disposed of,

ii.  in the case of the individual referred to in section 444, the property is land, other than land to which subparagraph i applies, a share of the capital stock of a family farm or fishing corporation or an interest in a family farm or fishing partnership, the adjusted cost base of the property to the individual immediately before the time of the disposition of the property, or

iii.  in the case of the trust referred to in section 450, the property is land, other than land to which subparagraph i applies, a share referred to in subparagraph ii of subparagraph c of the first paragraph of that section, or an interest in a partnership described in subparagraph iv of subparagraph c of the first paragraph of that section, the adjusted cost base of the property to the trust immediately before the time of the disposition of the property.

If the amount designated in respect of a property is less than the lesser of the amounts determined in respect of the property under subparagraphs a and b of the first paragraph, it is deemed, for the purposes of subparagraph 1 of subparagraph ii of subparagraph b of the second paragraph of section 444 and subparagraph 1 of subparagraph iv of subparagraph b of the second paragraph of section 450, to be equal to the lesser of those amounts, and if it is greater than the greater of those amounts, it is deemed, for the purposes of those subparagraphs 1, to be equal to the greater of the amounts determined under those subparagraphs a and b of the first paragraph in respect of the property.

ii.  entitled the individual to receive all of the income of the trust that arose before the individual’s death and to receive or otherwise obtain, to the exclusion of any other person, enjoyment of the income or capital of the trust, or

iii.  entitled the individual and the individual’s spouse to receive all of the income of the trust that arose before their deaths and to receive or otherwise obtain, to the exclusion of any other person, enjoyment of the income or capital of the trust.

(b)  either

i.  the individual attained 65 years of age at the time the trust was created, or

ii.  the transfer does not result in a change in beneficial ownership of the capital property and there is immediately after the transfer no absolute or contingent right of a person, other than the individual, or partnership as a beneficiary, determined with reference to section 646.1, under the trust; and

(a)  the capital cost of such capital property to the transferee is deemed to be the capital cost of such capital property to the taxpayer; and

(b)  the excess is deemed to have been allowed to the transferee in respect of such capital property under the regulations made under paragraph a of section 130 in computing his income for the previous taxation years.

1972, c. 23, s. 371; 1979, c. 18, s. 35; 1979, c. 38, s. 16.

CHAPTER V CONSIDERATION FOR EXPROPRIATED PROPERTY

1973, c. 17, s. 53.

DIVISION I GENERAL RULES

1973, c. 17, s. 53.

469. The rules provided in this chapter apply where a taxpayer acquires any bond, debenture, hypothecary claim, mortgage, bill or similar obligation hereinafter called “indemnity” issued by the government of a foreign country or by a person resident in a foreign country and guaranteed by the government of such country:

(a)  as compensation for shares that the taxpayer owned in a foreign affiliate that carried on business in that country or for all or substantially all the property used by the taxpayer in carrying on business in that country if such shares or property, hereinafter called “foreign property”, were taken from such taxpayer after 18 June 1971 under the authority of a law of that country; or

(b)  as consideration for the sale of such foreign property after that date under the authority of such a law or after notice or other manifestation of an intention to take possession of such a property.

1973, c. 17, s. 53; 1996, c. 39, s. 133; 2005, c. 1, s. 110.

470. In the case provided for in section 469, if the acquisition is made by a taxpayer resident in Canada and the taxpayer makes a valid election under subsection 1 of section 80.1 of the Income Tax Act (R.S.C. 1985, c. 1 (5th Suppl.)) after 19 December 2006 in respect of all indemnities acquired by the taxpayer, an amount, in respect of each indemnity, equal to its principal amount or, if, in accordance with paragraph d of that subsection 1, the taxpayer has designated in the election an amount in respect of the indemnity that is less than the principal amount, equal to that lesser amount, is deemed to be the cost to the taxpayer of the indemnity and, for the purpose of computing the proceeds of disposition of the foreign property, the amount received by the taxpayer because of the acquisition of the indemnity.

However, if the amount designated by the taxpayer in the election referred to in the first paragraph in respect of an indemnity is less than the principal amount of the indemnity and, but for this paragraph, the proceeds of disposition of the foreign property, computed with reference to the first paragraph, would be less than the cost amount to the taxpayer of the foreign property immediately before it was taken or sold, that cost amount is, for the purposes of the first paragraph, to be increased by the taxpayer on or before the taxpayer’s filing-due date for the taxation year in which the taxpayer acquired the indemnity or, if the taxpayer does not do so, by the Minister, so that the proceeds of disposition of the foreign property, computed with reference to the first paragraph, are equal to the cost amount to the taxpayer of the foreign property immediately before it was taken or sold.

Chapter V.2 of Title II of Book I applies in relation to an election made under subsection 1 of section 80.1 of the Income Tax Act or in relation to an election made under this section before 20 December 2006.

(a)  in computing the taxpayer’s income for the year from the indemnity, in respect of each interest amount that the taxpayer receives in the year, the taxpayer may deduct the lesser of that amount and the aggregate of the amount to be added under subparagraph b in computing the adjusted cost base to the taxpayer of the indemnity and the greater, immediately before the interest amount was received, of the adjusted cost base to the taxpayer of the indemnity and its adjusted principal amount to the taxpayer, and the taxpayer shall include, in respect of each amount the taxpayer receives in the year as the principal amount of the indemnity or as proceeds of disposition of the indemnity, the amount by which the amount the taxpayer so receives exceeds the greater, immediately before receiving that amount, of the adjusted cost base to the taxpayer of the indemnity and its adjusted principal amount to the taxpayer;

(b)  in computing, at a particular time, the adjusted cost base to the taxpayer of the indemnity, in respect of each interest amount received by the taxpayer before that time, the taxpayer shall add an amount equal to the lesser of the income or profit tax paid by the taxpayer in that respect to the government of a foreign country and the proportion of that tax that the adjusted cost base to the taxpayer of the indemnity, immediately before the taxpayer received the amount, is of the amount by which the amount exceeds that tax, and shall deduct each interest amount the taxpayer received before that time in respect of that indemnity and each amount the taxpayer received before that time as the principal amount of that indemnity;

(c)  the amount received by the taxpayer as the principal amount of the indemnity is deemed not to be the proceeds of a partial disposition of the indemnity; and

(d)  for the purposes of sections 772.2 to 772.13, despite the definition assigned to “non-business-income tax” in section 772.2, the non-business-income tax paid by the taxpayer does not include the amount that is required under subparagraph b to be added in computing the adjusted cost base to the taxpayer of the indemnity.

DIVISION II SPECIAL RULES FOR FOREIGN AFFILIATES

1973, c. 17, s. 53.

476. This division applies where the foreign affiliate of a taxpayer resident in Canada would be authorized to make an election referred to in the first paragraph of section 470 with respect to properties acquired by it that would on that assumption be indemnities for it if the foreign affiliate were resident in Canada and its only foreign affiliates were foreign affiliates of the taxpayer and if all or part of such properties are subsequently acquired by the taxpayer from the affiliate.

1973, c. 17, s. 53; 2009, c. 5, s. 164.

477. If the property described in section 476 is acquired as a dividend payable in kind or as a benefit that the taxpayer should include in computing the taxpayer’s income under section 111, and the taxpayer makes, after 19 December 2006, a valid election under the portion of subsection 4 of section 80.1 of the Income Tax Act (R.S.C. 1985, c. 1 (5th Suppl.)) before paragraph a in respect of all such property, the following rules apply in respect of each such property:

(a)  an amount equal to the principal amount of the property or, if, in accordance with subparagraph ii of paragraph a of subsection 4 of section 80.1 of the Income Tax Act, the taxpayer has designated in the election an amount in respect of the property that is less than the principal amount, equal to that lesser amount, is deemed to be, despite section 304, the cost to the taxpayer of the property and the amount of the dividend or benefit received by the taxpayer because of the acquisition of the property;

(b)  if the property is so acquired as such a benefit and, in accordance with paragraph b of subsection 4 of section 80.1 of the Income Tax Act, the taxpayer has designated in that election a class of shares of the capital stock of the taxpayer’s affiliate in respect of the property, the amount of the benefit is deemed to have been received by the taxpayer as a dividend from the taxpayer’s affiliate on that class and not as an amount the taxpayer is required to include in computing the taxpayer’s income under section 111;

(c)  in computing his taxable income for the taxation year in which he acquired the property, the taxpayer may deduct the excess of the amount received by him as a dividend by reason of such acquisition over the aggregate of the amounts deductible for the year in respect of such dividend under sections 580 to 584 and 746 to 749 in computing his income or taxable income, as the case may be;

(d)  in computing the adjusted cost base to the taxpayer of each share of the class of shares of the capital stock of his foreign affiliate in respect of which an amount was received by him as a dividend by the acquisition of the property, the taxpayer shall deduct an amount equal to the quotient obtained by dividing the amount deducted by him under subparagraph c in respect of such dividend, by the number of shares of that class owned by the taxpayer immediately before that amount was received by him;

(e)  a capital loss of the taxpayer pursuant to the disposition, after the time the property was acquired by the taxpayer, of a share of the capital stock of his foreign affiliate is deemed nil; and

(f)  if the taxpayer makes a valid election under paragraph f of subsection 4 of section 80.1 of the Income Tax Act after 19 December 2006 in respect of the property, the first paragraph of section 471 applies as if the property were an indemnity acquired by the taxpayer for foreign property taken by a government or person referred to in section 469.

Chapter V.2 of Title II of Book I applies in relation to an election made under subsection 4 of section 80.1 of the Income Tax Act or in relation to an election made under this section before 20 December 2006.

478. If the property described in section 476 is acquired as consideration for the settlement or extinction of a debt that is payable to the taxpayer by the taxpayer’s foreign affiliate and that is represented by a capital property, or for the settlement or extinction of any other obligation, so represented, of the affiliate to pay an amount to the taxpayer, and the taxpayer makes a valid election under subsection 5 of section 80.1 of the Income Tax Act (R.S.C. 1985, c. 1 (5th Suppl.)) after 19 December 2006 in respect of all such property, the following rules apply in respect of each such property:

(a)  subparagraph a of the first paragraph of section 477 applies by replacing “the amount of the dividend or benefit received by the taxpayer” by “the proceeds of disposition, for the taxpayer, of the debt or the settled or extinct obligation”;

(b)  if, in accordance with paragraph b of subsection 5 of section 80.1 of the Income Tax Act, the taxpayer has designated in that election a class of shares of the capital stock of the taxpayer’s foreign affiliate in respect of the property, the amount by which the cost to the taxpayer of the property, computed with reference to subparagraph a, exceeds the amount of the debt or obligation settled or extinct because of the acquisition of the property is deemed to have been received by the taxpayer as a dividend from the taxpayer’s affiliate in respect of that class of shares and the capital gain realized by the taxpayer from the disposition of the debt or of the obligation is deemed to be nil;

(c)  a capital loss of the taxpayer from the disposition of the debt or of the obligation is deemed to be nil; and

(d)  subparagraphs c to f of the first paragraph of section 477 apply to the property.

Chapter V.2 of Title II of Book I applies in relation to an election made under subsection 5 of section 80.1 of the Income Tax Act or in relation to an election made under this section before 20 December 2006.

1973, c. 17, s. 53; 2009, c. 5, s. 166.

479. If the property described in section 476 is acquired as a consequence of the winding-up, discontinuance or reorganization of the business of the foreign affiliate or as consideration for the redemption, cancellation or acquisition by the affiliate of shares of its capital stock, and the taxpayer makes a valid election under subsection 6 of section 80.1 of the Income Tax Act (R.S.C. 1985, c. 1 (5th Suppl.)) after 19 December 2006 in respect of all property so acquired, section 470 applies in respect of each such property as if such property were an indemnity acquired by the taxpayer as consideration for the sale of the foreign property that consisted of shares of the capital stock of the taxpayer’s foreign affiliate immediately before the acquisition and that was sold to a government or person referred to in section 469.

Similarly, if the taxpayer makes a valid election under subsection 6 of section 80.1 of the Income Tax Act after 19 December 2006 in respect of all amounts received or to be received by the taxpayer as interest on all property so acquired from the taxpayer’s affiliate, section 471 applies in respect of each such amount as if the property were such an indemnity.

Chapter V.2 of Title II of Book I applies in relation to an election made under subsection 6 of section 80.1 of the Income Tax Act or in relation to an election made under the first or second paragraph before 20 December 2006.

ii.  that person is deemed to have made a loan to the taxpayer on the first day of that third taxation year, equal to the unpaid amount minus the amount deducted or withheld therefrom by the taxpayer on account of the tax payable by that person for that third taxation year.

(2)  However, where the taxpayer is a corporation, the amount is unpaid upon the winding-up of such corporation and the latter is wound up before the end of the second taxation year following the year in which the debt was incurred, the amount so unpaid must be included in computing the corporation’s income for the taxation year in which it is wound up.

However, the first paragraph does not apply in respect of

(a)  reasonable vacation or holiday pay;

(b)  a deferred amount under a salary deferral arrangement; or

(c)  a salary, wages or other remuneration in respect of an office or employment where that expense of the taxpayer is taken into account for the purpose of determining, for a taxation year, the amount that the taxpayer may deduct in computing tax payable under Title III.4 or III.5 of Book V or that the taxpayer is deemed to have paid to the Minister on account of tax payable under Chapter III.1 of Title III of Book IX.

2004, c. 8, s. 98.

483.3. Where, at any time, an obligation of a taxpayer not resident in Canada that is denominated in a foreign currency, other than an obligation in respect of which the taxpayer became indebted at that time, becomes an obligation of the taxpayer in respect of a business or part of a business that the taxpayer carries on in Canada immediately after that time, the amount of any income, loss, capital gain or capital loss in respect of the obligation due to the fluctuation in the value of the foreign currency relative to Canadian currency shall be determined based on the amount of the obligation in Canadian currency at that time.

(e)  E is

i.  where the property is surrendered at that time by the debtor in circumstances in which paragraph c of section 422 would, but for this section, apply and the fair market value of all properties surrendered at that time by the debtor to the creditor exceeds the amount that would, but for this subparagraph and subparagraph f, be determined under this section as a consequence of the surrender, that excess, and

ii.  in any other case, nil;

(f)  F is the aggregate of all amounts each of which is the lesser of

i.  the portion of a particular specified amount of a particular debt included in the amount determined under any of subparagraphs a to d in computing the debtor’s proceeds of disposition of the particular property, and

(5)  the amount described in the third paragraph;

(g)  G is the fair market value at that time of the particular property; and

(h)  H is the fair market value at that time of all properties surrendered by the debtor to the creditor at that time.

The amount to which subparagraph 5 of subparagraph ii of subparagraph f of the second paragraph refers is the lesser of

(a)  the unpaid interest accrued to that time on the particular debt; and

(b)  the aggregate of

i.  the amount by which the aggregate of all amounts included because of sections 487.1 to 487.5.4 in computing the debtor’s income for the taxation year that includes that time or for a preceding taxation year in respect of interest on the particular debt exceeds the aggregate of all amounts paid before that time on account of interest on the particular debt, and

ii.  such portion of that unpaid interest as would, if it were paid, be included in the amount determined under subparagraph a of the third paragraph of section 194 in respect of the debtor.

(a)  section 264.7 applies, where the property was capital property, other than depreciable property, of the person immediately before its surrender;

(b)  paragraph o.1 of section 157 applies, where the cost of the property to the person was an incorporeal capital amount, within the meaning of section 106, as it read before being repealed, at the time the property was acquired;

(e)  where an applicable fraction, as determined under subparagraph d, of the unapplied portion of a forgiven amount is at any time applied under section 485.5 to reduce a loss for a taxation year, the portion of the forgiven amount so applied is, except for the purpose of reducing the loss, deemed to be the quotient obtained when the amount of the reduction under that section 485.5 is divided by the applicable fraction;

(f)  (paragraph repealed);

(g)  where a share, other than an excluded security, is issued by a corporation to a person as consideration for the settlement of a debt issued by the corporation and payable to the person, the amount paid in satisfaction of the debt as a consequence of the issue of the share is deemed to be equal to the fair market value of the share at the time it was issued;

(h)  where a debt issued by a corporation and payable to a person is settled at any time, the amount that can reasonably be considered to be the increase, as a consequence of the settlement of the debt, in the fair market value of the shares of the capital stock of the corporation owned by the person, other than shares acquired by the person as consideration for the settlement of the debt, is deemed to be paid at that time in satisfaction of the debt;

(i)  where the consideration given by a debtor to another person for the settlement at any time of a particular commercial debt obligation issued by the debtor and payable to the other person includes a new commercial debt obligation issued by the debtor to the other person

i.  an amount equal to the principal amount of the new obligation is deemed to have been paid by the debtor at that time, because of the issue of the new obligation, in satisfaction of the principal amount of the particular obligation, and

ii.  each member of a partnership and each beneficiary under a trust is deemed to own at that time the number of issued shares of that class that is equal to the proportion of 100 that the fair market value at that time of the member’s interest in the partnership or the beneficiary’s interest in the trust, as the case may be, is of the fair market value at that time of all members’ interests in the partnership or all beneficiaries’ interests in the trust, as the case may be, and

iii.  where a beneficiary’s share of the income or capital of a trust depends on the exercise by any person of, or the failure by any person to exercise, a power to appoint, the fair market value at any time of the beneficiary’s interest in the trust is equal to

(1)  where the beneficiary is not entitled to receive or otherwise obtain the use of all or part of the income or capital of the trust before the death after that time of one or more other beneficiaries under the trust, nil, and

(2)  in any other case, the fair market value at that time of all beneficiaries’ interests in the trust;

(l)  where an obligation is denominated in a foreign currency, the forgiven amount at any time in respect of the obligation shall be determined with reference to the relative value of that currency and Canadian currency at the time the obligation was issued;

(m)  where an amount is paid in satisfaction of the principal amount of a particular commercial obligation issued by a debtor and, as a consequence of the payment, the debtor is legally obliged to pay that amount to another person, the obligation to pay that amount to the other person is deemed to be a commercial obligation that was issued by the debtor at the same time and in the same circumstances as the particular obligation;

(n)  the amount that can be applied because of sections 485 to 485.18 to reduce another amount may not exceed that other amount;

(o)  except for the purposes of this paragraph, where a commercial debt obligation issued by a debtor is settled at any time, the debtor is at that time a member of a partnership, and the obligation was, under the agreement governing the obligation, considered immediately before that time as a debt owed by the partnership, the obligation is deemed to have been issued by the partnership and not by the debtor;

(p)  notwithstanding subparagraph o, where a commercial debt obligation for which a particular person is solidarily liable with one or more other persons is settled at any time in respect of the particular person but not in respect of all of the other persons, the portion of the obligation that can reasonably be considered to be the particular person’s share of the obligation is deemed to have been issued by the particular person and settled at that time and not at any subsequent time;

(q)  a commercial debt obligation issued by an individual that is outstanding at the time of the individual’s death and settled at a time subsequent to the death is, if the succession of the individual was liable for the obligation immediately before the subsequent time, deemed to have been issued by the succession at the same time at which, and in the same circumstances in which, the obligation was issued by the individual; and

(r)  where a commercial debt obligation issued by an individual would, but for this paragraph, be settled at any time in the period ending six months after the death of an individual, or within such longer period as is acceptable to the Minister and the succession of the individual, and the succession of the individual was liable immediately before that time for the obligation, the following rules apply, subject to the second paragraph:

i.  the obligation is deemed to have been settled at the beginning of the day on which the individual died and not at that time,

ii.  any amount paid at that time by the succession in satisfaction of the principal amount of the obligation is deemed to have been paid at the beginning of the day on which the individual died,

iii.  any amount given by the succession at or before that time to another person as consideration for assumption by the other person of the obligation is deemed to have been given at the beginning of the day on which the individual died, and

iv.  subparagraph b shall not apply in respect of the settlement to interest that accrues within that period.

Subparagraph r of the first paragraph does not apply in circumstances in which any amount is, because of the settlement of the commercial debt obligation referred to in that subparagraph, included under section 37 or 111 in computing the income of any person, or in which sections 484 to 484.6 apply in respect of that obligation.

(a)  the debtor is deemed to have a capital gain for the year from the disposition of capital property or, where the debtor is an individual not resident in Canada at the end of the year, of taxable Canadian property, equal to the lesser of

i.  the remaining unapplied portion of the forgiven amount at that time in respect of the obligation, and

ii.  the amount by which the aggregate of the debtor’s capital losses from the dispositions of properties, other than precious property and excluded properties, and, subject to the second paragraph, twice the amount that would, because of sections 564.2 to 564.4 and 564.4.4, be deductible under section 729 in computing the debtor’s taxable income for the year, if the debtor had sufficient incomes and taxable capital gains for the year for such purposes, exceeds the aggregate of the debtor’s capital gains for the year from the dispositions of such properties, determined without reference to this section, and the aggregate of the amounts each of which is an amount deemed by this section to be a capital gain of the debtor for the year as a consequence of the application of this section to another commercial obligation settled before that time; and

(b)  the forgiven amount at that time in respect of the obligation shall be considered to have been applied under this section to the extent of the amount deemed by this section to be a capital gain of the debtor for the year as a consequence of the application of this section to the settlement of the obligation at that time.

However, where the taxation year of the debtor includes 28 February 2000 or 17 October 2000, or begins after 28 February 2000 and ends before 17 October 2000, the reference to “twice” in subparagraph ii of subparagraph a of the first paragraph shall be read, with the necessary modifications, as a reference to the fraction that is the reciprocal of the fraction in paragraphs a to d of section 231.0.1 that applies to the debtor for the year.

ii.  in any other case, zero, and

(e)  E is equal to

i.  where the debtor is a partnership, 1, and

ii.  in any other case, subject to the third paragraph, 1/2.

However, where the taxation year of the debtor includes 28 February 2000 or 17 October 2000, or begins after 28 February 2000 and ends before 17 October 2000, the following rules apply:

(a)  the reference to the word “twice” in subparagraph i of subparagraph d of the second paragraph shall be read, with the necessary modifications, as a reference to the fraction that is the reciprocal of the fraction in paragraphs a to d of section 231.0.1 that applies to the debtor for the year; and

(b)  the reference to the fraction “1/2” in subparagraph ii of subparagraph e of the second paragraph shall be read as a reference to the fraction in paragraphs a to d of section 231.0.1 that applies to the debtor for the year.

(a)  the amount determined under subparagraph a of the second paragraph of section 485.13 in respect of the settlement of the particular obligation at that time;

(b)  all amounts each of which is

i.  the amount by which the amount determined under subparagraph a of the second paragraph of section 485.13 in respect of a settlement before that time and in the year of a commercial obligation issued by the debtor exceeds the amount determined under subparagraph c of the second paragraph of that section in respect of the settlement,

ii.  the amount determined under subparagraph a of the second paragraph of section 485.13 in respect of a settlement of a commercial obligation that is deemed under paragraph a of section 485.42 to have been issued by a directed person in respect of the debtor because of the filing of an agreement in accordance with sections 485.42 to 485.52 in respect of a settlement before that time and in the year of a commercial obligation issued by the debtor, or

iii.  the amount specified in an agreement, other than an agreement with a directed person in respect of the debtor, filed in accordance with sections 485.42 to 485.52 in respect of the settlement before that time and in the year of a commercial obligation issued by the debtor; and

(c)  the aggregate of all amounts each of which is an amount in respect of a settlement at a particular time before that time and in the year of a commercial obligation issued by the debtor equal to the least of

i.  the aggregate of all amounts designated under section 485.11 in respect of the settlement,

ii.  the residual balance of the debtor at the particular time, and

iii.  the amount by which the aggregate of all amounts determined under subparagraphs a and b of the second paragraph of section 485.13 in respect of the settlement exceeds the amount determined under subparagraph c of the second paragraph of that section in respect of the settlement.

(a)  a notional obligation was issued immediately before the particular time by each of those directed persons and was settled at the particular time;

(b)  the forgiven amount at the particular time in respect of each of those notional obligations was equal to the total of all amounts each of which is a forgiven amount at or before that time and in the year in respect of a commercial obligation issued by the debtor;

(c)  amounts were designated under sections 485.6 and 485.8 to 485.10 by each of those directed persons to the maximum extent permitted in respect of the settlement of each of those notional obligations; and

(d)  no amounts were designated under section 485.11 by any of those directed persons in respect of the settlement of any of the notional obligations.

(a)  the member may deduct, in computing the member’s income for the year, such amount as the member claims not exceeding the relevant limit in respect of the partnership obligation;

(b)  for the purposes of paragraph a, the relevant limit in respect of the partnership obligation is the amount that would be included in computing the member’s income for the year as a consequence of the application of sections 485.13 and 599 to 613.10 to the settlement of the partnership obligation if the partnership had designated amounts under sections 485.6 and 485.8 to 485.10 to the maximum extent permitted in respect of each obligation settled in that fiscal period and if income arising from the application of section 485.13 were from a source of income separate from any other sources of partnership income; and

(c)  for the purposes of sections 485 to 485.18 and 485.42 to 485.52,

i.  the member is deemed to have issued a commercial debt obligation that was settled at the end of that fiscal period,

ii.  the amount deducted under paragraph a in respect of the partnership obligation in computing the member’s income shall be treated as if it were the forgiven amount at the end of that fiscal period in respect of the obligation referred to in subparagraph i,

iii.  subject to subparagraph iv, the obligation referred to in subparagraph i is deemed to have been issued at the same time at which, and in the same circumstances in which, the partnership obligation was issued,

iv.  where the member is a taxpayer that was subject to a loss restriction event at a particular time that is before the end of that fiscal period and before the taxpayer became a member of the partnership, and the partnership obligation was issued before the particular time,

(a)  an obligation issued by a debtor is a parked obligation at any time where at that time

i.  the obligation is a specified obligation of the debtor, and

ii.  the holder of the obligation does not deal at arm’s length with the debtor or, where the debtor is a corporation and the holder acquired the obligation after 12 July 1994, otherwise than pursuant to an agreement in writing entered into on or before that date, has a significant interest in the debtor; and

(b)  an obligation that is, at any time, acquired or reacquired in circumstances to which subparagraph ii of paragraph a of section 485.23 or paragraph b of that section applies is, if the obligation is a parked obligation immediately after that time, deemed to have become a parked obligation at that time.

1996, c. 39, s. 142.

485.27. Where a commercial debt obligation issued by a debtor is first deemed by section 485.25 or 485.26 to have been settled at a particular time, at a subsequent time a payment is made by the debtor of an amount in satisfaction of the principal amount of the obligation and it cannot reasonably be considered that one of the reasons the obligation became a parked obligation or became unenforceable, as the case may be, before the subsequent time was to have this section apply to the payment, in computing the debtor’s income for the taxation year, in this section referred to as the “subsequent year”, that includes the subsequent time from the source in connection with which the obligation was issued, the debtor may deduct the amount determined, subject to the fourth paragraph, by the formula

i.  all amounts deducted by the debtor under section 346.2 in computing the debtor’s income for the subsequent year or a preceding taxation year,

ii.  all amounts added by the debtor because of section 485.13 in computing the debtor’s income for the subsequent year or a preceding taxation year in respect of a settlement under section 485.25 or 485.26 in a period during which the debtor was exempt from tax under this Part on its taxable income, and

iii.  all amounts added by the debtor because of section 485.13 in computing the debtor’s income for the subsequent year or a preceding taxation year in respect of a settlement under section 485.25 or 485.26 in a period during which the debtor, in the case of a corporation, had no establishment in Québec or, in the case of an individual, was not resident in Canada, other than any of those amounts added by the individual in computing his income, taxable income or taxable income earned in Canada as a consequence of the second paragraph of section 23 or section 26, as the case may be.

The aggregate to which subparagraph c of the second paragraph refers is the aggregate of

A taxpayer’s share of an original amount in respect of a specified amount paid by the taxpayer to a recipient in respect of a property is the amount that may reasonably be considered to be the taxpayer’s share of the aggregate of all amounts each of which is an amount described in section 89 or 144 in respect of the property, which share may not exceed the total of

(a)  the amount that is that proportion of the aggregate of all amounts each of which is an amount described in section 89 or 144 in respect of the property that the taxpayer’s share of production from the property payable to the taxpayer as a royalty, which royalty is computed without reference to the costs of exploration or production, is of the total production from the property; and

(b)  the amount that is that proportion of the aggregate of all amounts each of which is an amount described in section 89 or 144 in respect of the property (other than an amount which the recipient has received or is entitled to receive as a reimbursement, contribution or allowance in respect of a royalty described in paragraph a) that the taxpayer’s share of the income from the property is of the total income from the property.

486.11. For the purposes of Chapter III of Title XVI of the Regulation respecting the Taxation Act (chapter I-3, r. 1), an original amount in respect of which a specified amount is received is deemed, for the taxation year in which the original amount is paid or became payable or receivable, not to include an amount equal to the eligible portion of the specified amount, determined under section 486.9.

§ 2 . — Special deductions in respect of farming and animal husbandry

2015, c. 24, s. 78.

487. Where a taxpayer includes, in computing his income from a farming business for a taxation year, a particular amount in respect of the forced destruction of livestock in the year under an Act, he may, subject to section 487.0.4, deduct in computing that income for that year an amount not exceeding the particular amount.

The amount deducted by the taxpayer under the first paragraph in computing his income from a farming business for a taxation year is deemed to be income of the taxpayer from such business for the subsequent taxation year.

1977, c. 26, s. 58; 1991, c. 25, s. 78.

487.0.1. In this section and sections 487.0.2 to 487.0.3,

“breeding animals” means bison, bovine cattle, deer, horses, goats, elk, sheep or other grazing ungulates that are over 12 months of age and are kept for breeding;

“breeding bees” means bees that are not used principally to pollinate plants in greenhouses and larvae of those bees;

“breeding bee stock”, of a taxpayer at a particular time, means a reasonable estimate of the quantity of the taxpayer’s breeding bees held at that time in the course of carrying on a farming business using a unit of measurement that is accepted as an industry standard;

“breeding herd” of a taxpayer at any time means the number of animals determined at that time, in respect of the taxpayer, by the formula

A − (B − C).

For the purposes of the formula set forth in the definition of “breeding herd” set forth in the first paragraph,

(a)  A is the total number of the taxpayer’s breeding animals held in the course of carrying on a farming business at that time;

(b)  B is the total number of the taxpayer’s breeding animals held in the farming business at that time that are female bovine cattle that have not given birth to calves;

(c)  C is the lesser of the number of animals determined as the value of B and one-half on the total number of the taxpayer’s breeding animals held in the farming business at that time that are female bovine cattle that have given birth to calves.

1991, c. 25, s. 79; 1994, c. 22, s. 190; 2017, c. 1, s. 126.

487.0.2. A taxpayer who, in a taxation year, carries on a farming business in a region that is a drought region or a region of flood or excessive moisture, within the meaning of the regulations, at any time in the year and whose breeding herd at the end of the year in respect of the business does not exceed 85% of his breeding herd at the beginning of the year in respect of the business, may deduct, in computing his income from the business for the year, an amount not exceeding the amount determined for the year, in respect of the taxpayer’s business, by the formula

(A − B) × C.

For the purposes of the formula set forth in the first paragraph,

(a)  A is the amount by which the aggregate of the particular amounts included, in respect of the sale of breeding animals in the year, in computing the taxpayer’s income from the business for the year exceeds the aggregate of all amounts deducted under section 153, in respect of the particular amounts, in computing the taxpayer’s income from the business for the year;

(b)  B is the aggregate of all amounts deducted, in respect of the acquisition of breeding animals, in computing the taxpayer’s income from the business for the year;

(c)  C is 30% where the taxpayer’s breeding herd at the end of the year in respect of the business exceeds 70% of his breeding herd at the beginning of the year in respect of the business, and 90% in all other cases.

1991, c. 25, s. 79; 2010, c. 25, s. 33.

487.0.2.1. A taxpayer who, in a taxation year, carries on a farming business in a region that is at any time in the year a drought region or a region of flood or excessive moisture, within the meaning of the regulations, and whose breeding bee stock at the end of the year in respect of the business does not exceed 85% of the taxpayer’s breeding bee stock at the beginning of the year in respect of the business, may deduct, in computing the taxpayer’s income for the year from the business, an amount not exceeding the amount determined for the year, in respect of the taxpayer’s business, by the formula

(A – B) × C.

In the formula in the first paragraph,

(a)  A is the amount by which the aggregate of all the particular amounts included in computing the taxpayer’s income for the year from the business in respect of the sale of breeding bees in the year exceeds the aggregate of all amounts deducted in respect of the particular amounts, under section 153, in computing the taxpayer’s income for the year from the business;

(b)  B is the aggregate of all amounts deducted in computing the taxpayer’s income for the year from the business in respect of the acquisition of breeding bees; and

(c)  C is either 30% if the taxpayer’s breeding bee stock at the end of the year in respect of the business exceeds 70% of the taxpayer’s breeding bee stock at the beginning of the year in respect of the business, or 90% in any other case.

2017, c. 1, s. 127.

487.0.3. The amount deducted under section 487.0.2 or 487.0.2.1 in computing the income of a taxpayer for a particular taxation year from a farming business carried on in a region referred to in the first paragraph of section 487.0.2 or 487.0.2.1,

(a)  must, up to the amount determined under the second paragraph, be included in computing the taxpayer’s income from the business for a given taxation year ending after the particular taxation year; and

(b)  is deemed, except to the extent that the amount has been included under this section in computing the taxpayer’s income from the business for a preceding taxation year after the particular taxation year, to be income of the taxpayer from the business for the taxation year that is the earliest of

i.  the taxpayer’s first taxation year beginning after the end of the period or series of continuous periods, as the case may be, for which the region was referred to in the first paragraph of section 487.0.2 or 487.0.2.1,

ii.  the taxpayer’s first taxation year, following the particular taxation year, at the end of which the taxpayer was not resident in Canada and not carrying on business through a fixed place of business in Canada, and

iii.  the taxpayer’s taxation year in which the taxpayer died.

The amount to which subparagraph a of the first paragraph refers is equal to the lesser of

(a)  the amount deducted under section 487.0.2 or 487.0.2.1 in computing the taxpayer’s income for the particular taxation year from the farming business, except to the extent that the amount has been included under this section in computing the taxpayer’s income from the business for a taxation year preceding the given taxation year but after the particular taxation year; and

(b)  the amount included for the purposes of the Income Tax Act (R.S.C. 1985, c. 1 (5th Suppl.)), under subsection 5 of section 80.3 of that Act, in computing the taxpayer’s income from the business for the given taxation year because of an election made in accordance with that subsection 5 in respect of the amount deducted under subsection 4 or 4.1 of that section 80.3 in that computation for the particular taxation year.

Chapter V.2 of Title II of Book I applies in relation to an election made under subsection 5 of section 80.3 of the Income Tax Act.

487.0.4. The first paragraph of section 487 and sections 487.0.2 and 487.0.2.1 do not apply to a taxpayer, in respect of a farming business, for a taxation year in which the taxpayer died or where at the end of the year the taxpayer is not resident in Canada and not carrying on business through a fixed place of business in Canada.

1991, c. 25, s. 79; 1993, c. 16, s. 197; 1996, c. 39, s. 273; 2017, c. 1, s. 129.

487.0.5. In applying section 487.0.2.1 in respect of a taxation year, the unit of measurement used for estimating the quantity of a taxpayer’s breeding bee stock held in the course of carrying on a farming business at the end of the year is to be the same as that used for the beginning of the year.

2017, c. 1, s. 130.

§ 3 . — Benefits arising from a loan

2015, c. 24, s. 79.

487.1. A corporation carrying on a personal services business or an individual is deemed to receive a benefit in a taxation year equal to the amount computed under section 487.2 when a person or partnership contracts a debt because of services provided or to be provided by the corporation or of the individual’s previous, current or intended office or employment.

For the purposes of the first paragraph, a debt is deemed to have been contracted because of an individual’s office or employment, or because of services provided by a corporation that carries on a personal services business, if it is reasonable to conclude that, but for the individual’s previous, current or intended office or employment, or the services provided or to be provided by the corporation,

(a)  the terms of the debt would have been different; or

(b)  the debt would not have been contracted.

1978, c. 26, s. 82; 1983, c. 44, s. 26; 1994, c. 22, s. 191; 1997, c. 3, s. 71; 1997, c. 14, s. 79; 2001, c. 53, s. 74.

487.2. The amount to which the first paragraph of section 487.1 refers is the amount by which the amount computed under section 487.2.1 is exceeded by the aggregate of all amounts each of which is the interest, computed at the prescribed rate, in respect of each such debt for the period of the year in which it was unpaid, or the interest paid or payable for the year in respect of each such debt

(a)  by a person or partnership that employed or planned to employ the individual;

(b)  by a person or partnership to which or for which the corporation provided or was to provide services; or

(c)  by a person who was not a debtor of the debt and who was related to the person or partnership described in paragraph a or was not dealing at arm’s length with the person or partnership described in paragraph b.

1978, c. 26, s. 82; 1982, c. 5, s. 112; 1983, c. 44, s. 26; 1986, c. 15, s. 85; 1986, c. 19, s. 112; 1997, c. 3, s. 71; 2001, c. 53, s. 75; 2010, c. 25, s. 35; 2020, c. 16, s. 71.

1986, c. 19, s. 113; 2010, c. 25, s. 36.

487.3. A person, other than a corporation resident in Canada, or a partnership, other than a partnership every member of which is such a corporation, is deemed to receive a benefit in a taxation year equal to the amount computed under section 487.4, where the person or partnership contracts a debt with a corporation by virtue of the fact that the person or partnership is a shareholder of the corporation, is connected with a shareholder of the corporation or is a member of a partnership or a beneficiary of a trust that is such a shareholder.

The same rule applies where the person or partnership contracts a debt with a corporation related to the corporation or with a partnership of which the corporation or a corporation related to it is a member.

For the purposes of this section, a person or a partnership is connected with a shareholder of a corporation if that person or partnership does not deal at arm’s length with, or is affiliated with, the shareholder, unless, in the case of a person, that person is a foreign affiliate of the corporation or of a person resident in Canada with which the corporation does not deal at arm’s length.

1978, c. 26, s. 82; 1983, c. 44, s. 26; 1997, c. 3, s. 71; 2019, c. 14, s. 145.

(b)  the amount of interest determined, for the year, in respect of each debt incurred as or on account of loans that are deemed to have been received under section 113.4.

1983, c. 44, s. 26; 1986, c. 19, s. 114; 2020, c. 16, s. 72.

487.4.1. For the purposes of sections 487.1 to 487.6, the specified interest amount, for a year, in respect of a debt (in this section referred to as the “deemed loan”) contracted as or on account of a loan that is deemed to have been received under section 113.4 from a particular ultimate funder, is the amount determined by the formula

A × B / C.

In the formula in the first paragraph,

(a)  A is the total amount of interest for the year paid not later than 30 days after the end of the year in respect of all debts that are owing to the particular ultimate funder under one or more funding arrangements by one or more funders, but excluding any funders that are ultimate funders, and that gave rise to the deemed loan;

(b)  B is the average amount owing for the year in respect of the deemed loan; and

1983, c. 44, s. 26; 1997, c. 3, s. 71.

487.5.1. For the purpose of computing the benefit under the first paragraph of section 487.1 in a taxation year in respect of a debt contracted for a home purchase loan or a home relocation loan, the aggregate of all amounts each of which is the interest on all such debts, computed at the prescribed rate for the period in the year during which it was outstanding, must not exceed the aggregate of the amounts that would have been determined in this manner if the interest had been computed at the rate of 8% in the case of a debt contracted before 1 May 1987 or, in any other case, at the prescribed rate in effect at the time the debt was contracted.

1988, c. 4, s. 35; 2001, c. 53, s. 76; 2019, c. 14, s. 146; 2020, c. 16, s. 74.

(b)  an amount equal to the amount by which the amount of the original dividend for Québec purposes, determined without reference to this section, exceeds the amount of the original dividend for Québec purposes, determined under subparagraph a, is deemed to be a separate taxable dividend, other than an eligible dividend, that was paid by the corporation immediately before the particular time;

(d)  a shareholder’s proportional share of the amount of a dividend paid at any time on a class of shares of the capital stock of a corporation is the proportion of that amount that the number of shares of that class held by the shareholder at that time is of the number of shares of that class outstanding at that time; and

(e)  not later than 30 days after the day on which the election is made, the corporation shall notify the Minister in writing of the election and attach to the notice a copy of every document sent to the Minister of National Revenue in connection with the election.

504. (1)  A corporation resident in Canada which, at a particular time after 31 December 1971, increases its paid-up capital in respect of the shares of a given class of its capital stock, is deemed to have then paid, on the issued shares of such class, a dividend equal to the excess of the increase in the paid-up capital over the aggregate of the amount of the increase in the value of the assets or the decrease in the liabilities, as the case may be, contemplated in paragraph b of subsection 2, of the amount of the reduction contemplated in paragraph c of subsection 2 and of the amount of the increase in the paid-up capital that resulted from a conversion referred to in any of paragraphs d to f of subsection 2.

(2)  Subsection 1 does not apply if the increase in the paid-up capital is the result of:

(a)  the payment of a stock dividend;

(b)  a transaction by which the value of the assets less the liabilities has been increased by an amount at least equal to the increase in the paid-up capital in respect of the shares of the class contemplated, or by which the liabilities less the value of the assets has been decreased by such an amount;

(c)  a transaction by which the paid-up capital in respect of shares of other classes of the capital stock of the corporation has been reduced by an amount at least equal to the increase in the paid-up capital in respect of the shares of such class;

(d)  a transaction by which an insurance corporation converts contributed surplus related to its insurance business (other than any portion of that contributed surplus that arose at a time when the corporation was not resident in Canada, or that arose in connection with a disposition to which subsection 1.1 of section 212.1 of the Income Tax Act (R.S.C. 1985, c. 1 (5th Suppl.)) applies or an investment to which subsection 2 of section 212.3 of that Act applies) into paid-up capital in respect of shares of its capital stock;

(f)  a transaction by which a corporation, other than an insurance corporation or a bank, converts into paid-up capital in respect of a particular class of shares of its capital stock any of its contributed surplus (other than any portion of that contributed surplus that arose at a time when the corporation was not resident in Canada, or that arose in connection with a disposition to which subsection 1.1 of section 212.1 of the Income Tax Act applies or an investment to which subsection 2 of section 212.3 of that Act applies) resulting, after 31 March 1977,

i.  from the issuance of shares of that class or shares of another class for which shares of that class were substituted, other than an issuance to which any of sections 236.3, 301, 301.1, 419 and 419.0.1 or Chapters III.1 to VI apply,

ii.  from the acquisition of property by the corporation from a person who, at the time of the acquisition, held any of the issued shares of that class or shares of another class for which shares of that class were substituted, where the property is acquired for no consideration or for consideration that does not include shares of the capital stock of the corporation, or

iii.  from a transaction by which the paid-up capital in respect of that class of shares or in respect of shares of another class for which shares of that class were substituted was reduced by the corporation, to the extent of the reduction in paid-up capital that resulted from the transaction.

(a)  the amount added to the contributed surplus of the corporation on the acquisition, and

(b)  the amount by which the paid-up capital in respect of the shares at the time of the acquisition exceeded the fair market value of any consideration given by the corporation for the shares.

(a)  the amount may reasonably be considered to be derived from proceeds of disposition realized by the corporation, or by a person or partnership in which the corporation had a direct or indirect interest at the time that the proceeds were realized, from a transaction that occurred

i.  outside the ordinary course of the business of the corporation, or of the person or partnership that realized the proceeds, and

ii.  within the period that began 24 months before the payment; and

“eligible business transfer” of an individual means a series of transactions that includes the disposition of eligible shares of the individual in circumstances described in section 517.1, if the conditions of sections 517.5.6 to 517.5.11 are satisfied in respect of the series of transactions;

For the purposes of this division, a corporation has a substantial interest in another corporation at a particular time if it has such an interest in the other corporation under subsection 2 of section 191 of the Income Tax Act (R.S.C. 1985, c. 1 (5th Suppl.)) at that time.

2017, c. 1, s. 137; 2017, c. 29, s. 74.

517.5.4. (Repealed).

2017, c. 1, s. 137; 2017, c. 29, s. 75.

517.5.5. Where eligible shares of an individual, other than a trust, are disposed of in connection with an eligible business transfer of the individual and, but for this section, a dividend equal to the excess amount that corresponds to the amount by which the aggregate determined under section 517.3 exceeds the aggregate determined under section 517.3.1 would, under section 517.2, be deemed to have been paid by the purchaser corporation to the individual, and received by the individual from the purchaser corporation, at the time of the disposition of those shares, the following rules apply:

(a)  the lesser of the amount of that excess amount and the amount that would be determined in respect of the disposition of those shares under paragraph b of subsection 1 of section 84.1 of the Income Tax Act (R.S.C. 1985, c. 1 (5th Suppl.)) if that section were read without reference to paragraph e of its subsection 2 (in this section referred to as the “deemed dividend amount”) is deemed to be a capital gain from the disposition of those shares, to the extent of the amount the individual designates to that effect in the individual’s fiscal return filed under this Part (in this section referred to as the “designated capital gain”) for the year of disposition, without, however, exceeding the amount (in this section referred to as the “particular amount”) determined in accordance with the second paragraph, and, despite any other provision of this Act,

i.  for the purposes of section 234, where a reserve is claimed in accordance with subparagraph b of the first paragraph of that section in respect of the portion of the proceeds of disposition of the shares that is payable after the end of the year of disposition, the gain from the disposition of those shares is deemed to be equal to the amount by which the designated capital gain exceeds the amount of the reserve (which excess amount is in this subparagraph and subparagraphs ii and iii referred to as the “reduced capital gain”) and, for the purpose of determining the reserve that the individual may claim in respect of the disposition of the shares, subparagraph b of the first paragraph of section 234 is to be read without reference to its subparagraph iii,

ii.  for the purpose of determining the tax payable under this Part by the individual for the year of disposition,

(1)  section 28 is to be read, in respect of the designated capital gain or reduced capital gain, as the case may be, without reference to subparagraph ii of its paragraph b and, in respect of the amount the individual may subtract in accordance with its paragraph c, as if the designated capital gain or reduced capital gain were not taken into account for the purposes of subparagraph i of its paragraph b,

(2)  an amount is deductible by the individual under Book IV, except Title VI.5, only to the extent that the individual’s income, determined in accordance with subparagraph 1, exceeds one-half of the amount of the designated capital gain or reduced capital gain, as the case may be,

(3)  an amount is deductible by the individual under Title VI.5 of Book IV, in respect of a capital gain other than the designated capital gain or reduced capital gain, as the case may be, only to the extent that the individual’s taxable income, determined otherwise and taking subparagraphs 1 and 2 into account, exceeds one-half of the amount of the designated capital gain or reduced capital gain, and

(4)  an amount is deductible by the individual under section 729 only to the extent that the excess amount referred to in paragraph b of section 28 that would be determined for the year, in respect of the individual, if the amount of the designated capital gain or reduced capital gain, as the case may be, were not taken into account, and

iii.  the amount determined under paragraph b of section 28, to which paragraph b of section 728.0.1 refers for the purpose of determining the individual’s non-capital loss or farm loss for the year of disposition, and the amount determined under subparagraph i of paragraph b of section 28, to which paragraph a of section 730 refers for the purpose of determining the individual’s net capital loss for the year of disposition, are computed without taking the amount of the designated capital gain or reduced capital gain, as the case may be, into account; and

(b)  the amount of the designated capital gain in respect of the disposition of those shares is deemed not to be a dividend paid by the purchaser corporation and received by the individual at the time of the disposition of those shares.

The particular amount to which the first paragraph refers is equal to twice the least of the amounts that would be determined in respect of the individual for the year either, where subsection 1 of section 84.1 of the Income Tax Act does not apply in respect of the disposition of shares because of paragraph e of subsection 2 of that section, under subparagraphs a to e of the first paragraph of section 726.7 or 726.7.1, as the case may be, or, where subsection 1 of that section 84.1 applies in respect of the disposition of shares, under subparagraphs a to d of the first paragraph of section 726.7 or 726.7.1, as the case may be, if the deemed dividend amount were a capital gain realized by the individual in the year from the disposition of eligible shares and if subparagraph 1 of subparagraph ii of subparagraph a of the first paragraph were not taken into account.

2017, c. 1, s. 137; 2017, c. 29, s. 76; 2021, c. 36, s. 70.

517.5.6. A series of transactions that includes the disposition by an individual of eligible primary and manufacturing sectors shares of a corporation (in this section referred to as the “particular corporation”) may be considered to be an eligible business transfer of the individual only if the individual or the individual’s spouse was, while the individual owned those shares and during the 24-month period that immediately preceded the disposition of the shares, actively engaged in a business carried on by the particular corporation or by a corporation in which the particular corporation had a substantial interest.

For the purposes of the first paragraph, the following rules apply:

(a)  where the individual or the individual’s spouse, as the case may be, is, immediately before the disposition of the shares, unable to actively engage in a business carried on by the particular corporation or by a corporation in which the particular corporation had a substantial interest due to an illness or a disability, the first paragraph is to be read as if “the 24-month period that immediately preceded the disposition of the shares” were replaced by “the 24-month period that preceded the time at which the individual’s inability, or that of the individual’s spouse, began”;

(b)  the individual is deemed, during the 24-month period that immediately precedes the disposition of the shares, to own the shares and to have been actively engaged in a business carried on by the particular corporation or by a corporation in which the particular corporation had a substantial interest if

i.  the individual’s spouse died in the 24-month period that precedes the disposition of the shares, and

ii.  the individual or the individual’s spouse was actively engaged in a business carried on by the particular corporation or by a corporation in which the particular corporation had a substantial interest during the 24-month period that precedes the date of death; and

(c)  where an individual was actively engaged in a business during a particular period and all or substantially all of the assets used in the course of carrying on that business is disposed of to a corporation as consideration for shares of the capital stock of the corporation, the individual is deemed to have actively engaged in a business carried on by the corporation for the particular period.

2017, c. 1, s. 137; 2017, c. 29, s. 77.

517.5.7. A series of transactions that includes the disposition by an individual of eligible shares of a corporation (in this section referred to as the “particular corporation”) may not be considered to be an eligible business transfer of the individual where, after the disposition of the shares, the individual or the individual’s spouse is actively engaged in a qualified business carried on by the purchaser corporation, by the particular corporation or by a corporation in which the particular corporation has a substantial interest, unless

(a)  the active engagement of the individual or the individual’s spouse in that business for a particular period (in the second paragraph referred to as the “transition period”) aims to encourage the transfer of the knowledge possessed by the individual or the individual’s spouse in relation to that business for the benefit of other persons actively engaged in that business;

(b)  substantially all the income from the business in which the individual or the individual’s spouse is actively engaged is not derived from the sale, leasing, rental or development, as the case may be, of properties, or the rendering of services, similar to those of a business that, before the disposition of the shares, was carried on by the purchaser corporation, by the particular corporation or by a corporation in which the purchaser corporation or the particular corporation held a direct or indirect interest; or

(c)  the active engagement of the individual or the individual’s spouse in that business stems from the sole fact that the person referred to in section 517.5.11 is unable to actively engage in that business due to an illness, a disability or the person’s death if the illness, disability or death begins or occurs after the disposition of the shares of the particular corporation.

For the purposes of subparagraph a of the first paragraph, for any calendar year included in whole or in part in the transition period, the remuneration received by an individual as consideration for services rendered in the calendar year or part of calendar year because the individual is actively engaged in a business carried on by the purchaser corporation, by the particular corporation or by a corporation in which the particular corporation has a substantial interest must not exceed the amount obtained by multiplying the Maximum Pensionable Earnings determined for the year under section 40 of the Act respecting the Québec Pension Plan (chapter R-9) by the proportion that the number of days in the calendar year that are included in whole or in part in the transition period is of 365.

2017, c. 1, s. 137; 2017, c. 29, s. 78.

517.5.8. A series of transactions that includes the disposition by an individual of eligible shares of a corporation (in this section referred to as the “particular corporation”) may not be considered to be an eligible business transfer of the individual where, in the period that begins 30 days after the disposition of the shares and ends at the end of that series of transactions, the individual or the individual’s spouse controls the particular corporation or a corporation in which the particular corporation had, immediately before the disposition of those shares, a substantial interest or is a member of a group of persons that controls such a corporation, unless the corporation is

(a)  a corporation carrying on a business substantially all the income of which is not derived from the sale, leasing, rental or development, as the case may be, of properties, or the rendering of services, similar to those of a business that, before the disposition of the shares, was carried on by the purchaser corporation, by the particular corporation or by a corporation in which the purchaser corporation or the particular corporation held a direct or indirect interest; or

(b)  a corporation that does not carry on a qualified business.

2017, c. 1, s. 137; 2017, c. 29, s. 79.

(a)  a corporation carrying on a business substantially all the income of which is not derived from the sale, leasing, rental or development, as the case may be, of properties, or the rendering of services, similar to those of a business that, before the disposition of the shares, was carried on by the purchaser corporation, by the particular corporation or by a corporation in which the purchaser corporation or the particular corporation held a direct or indirect interest; or

(b)  a corporation that does not carry on a qualified business.

2017, c. 1, s. 137; 2017, c. 29, s. 80.

517.5.10. A series of transactions that includes the disposition by an individual of eligible shares of a corporation (in this section referred to as the “particular corporation”) may be considered to be an eligible business transfer of the individual only if

(a)  throughout the period that begins 30 days after the disposition of the shares and ends at the end of that series of transactions, the aggregate of all amounts each of which is the amount of the residual financial interest of a person who is the individual, any other individual in respect of whom, but for this section, section 517.5.5 would apply in relation to the disposition of a share of the particular corporation in connection with that series of transactions, or their respective spouses, does not exceed

i.  where the particular corporation is referred to in paragraph a of the definition of “eligible share” in the first paragraph of section 517.5.3, 80% of the aggregate of all amounts each of which is the fair market value, immediately before the beginning of the series of transactions, of a share of the capital stock of a corporation (in this section referred to as the “corporation concerned”) that is the particular corporation, the purchaser corporation or a corporation in which the particular corporation has a substantial interest at that time, or

ii.  where the particular corporation is referred to in paragraph b of the definition of “eligible share” in the first paragraph of section 517.5.3, 60% of the aggregate of all amounts each of which is the fair market value, immediately before the beginning of the series of transactions, of a share of the capital stock of a corporation concerned;

(b)  the terms and conditions of reimbursement or redemption of the residual financial interests the amount of which is included in the first aggregate referred to in subparagraph a provide that no later than 10 years after the disposition of the shares, that aggregate will not exceed

i.  where the particular corporation is referred to in paragraph a of the definition of “eligible share” in the first paragraph of section 517.5.3, 50% of the aggregate of all amounts each of which is the fair market value, immediately before the beginning of the series of transactions, of a share of the capital stock of a corporation concerned, or

ii.  where the particular corporation is referred to in paragraph b of the definition of “eligible share” in the first paragraph of section 517.5.3, 30% of the aggregate of all amounts each of which is the fair market value, immediately before the beginning of the series of transactions, of a share of the capital stock of a corporation concerned;

(c)  where the residual financial interest of a person described in subparagraph a includes a share of the capital stock of a corporation concerned,

i.  the redemption of the share may not be required by the person before the expiry of the 10-year period referred to in subparagraph b unless the redemption aims to comply with the requirement of subparagraph i or ii of subparagraph b,

ii.  the share entitles its holder to a cumulative dividend at a rate not exceeding a reasonable rate according to market conditions and the rate of that dividend is not based on a corporation’s profitability,

iii.  the share is redeemable at any time at the option of the corporation concerned, and

iv.  the share is convertible only into one or more shares that satisfy the conditions of subparagraphs i to iii or into one or more debts that satisfy the conditions of subparagraphs i to iii of subparagraph d; and

(d)  where the residual financial interest of a person described in subparagraph a includes a debt of a corporation concerned,

ii.  the debt entitles its holder to a reasonable return according to market conditions and the return rate of the debt is not based on a corporation’s profitability,

iii.  the debt is reimbursable at any time, with accrued interest, at the option of the corporation concerned, and

In this section, the amount of the residual financial interest of a person described in subparagraph a of the first paragraph, at any time, means an amount equal to the aggregate of all amounts each of which is the fair market value, at that time, of a financial interest that the person holds, directly or indirectly, in a corporation concerned and that is a share of the capital stock of the corporation concerned or a debt of the corporation concerned.

For the purposes of the second paragraph, the following rules apply:

(a)  where a trust in which an individual or the individual’s spouse has a beneficial interest holds, directly or indirectly, a financial interest in a corporation concerned, the individual is deemed to hold the financial interest;

(b)  where an individual or the individual’s spouse holds, directly or indirectly, a financial interest in an entity that is a trust, a partnership or a corporation, which entity holds, directly or indirectly, a financial interest in a corporation concerned, the individual is deemed to hold the financial interest in the corporation concerned; and

(c)  where more than one individual would otherwise be required to include the same amount in computing their residual financial interest because of subparagraph a or b, only one of those individuals is required to take that amount into account in establishing the amount of that individual’s residual financial interest in the corporation concerned.

For the purposes of subparagraphs a and b of the first paragraph, no account is to be taken of the residual financial interest of a person described in subparagraph a of the first paragraph in a corporation concerned or of the fair market value, immediately before the beginning of the series of transactions, of the shares of the capital stock of such a corporation, if that corporation is

(a)  a corporation carrying on a business substantially all the income of which is not derived from the sale, leasing, rental or development, as the case may be, of properties, or the rendering of services, similar to those of a business that, before the disposition of the shares, was carried on by the particular corporation, by the purchaser corporation or by a corporation in which the purchaser corporation or the particular corporation held a direct or indirect interest; or

(b)  a corporation that does not carry on a qualified business.

For the purpose of determining the end of the period described in subparagraph a of the first paragraph, the series of transactions to which that subparagraph applies is deemed not to include a transaction consisting in the redemption or reimbursement of the residual financial interest of an individual.

The prescribed form shall also be sent to the Minister where an application is made to the Minister under the third paragraph of section 522 in respect of the disposition.

In addition, the taxpayer incurs, solidarily with the corporation, a penalty equal

1972, c. 23.

521.2. Subject to section 522, where the taxpayer and the corporation make the first election mentioned in section 518 in respect of the disposition of property, the taxpayer’s proceeds of disposition of the property and the cost to the corporation of the property are deemed to be equal to such amount as is established in respect of the property under subsection 1 of section 85 of the Income Tax Act (Revised Statutes of Canada, 1985, chapter 1, 5th Supplement), except that, for the purposes of paragraphs b and c of section 528, the proceeds of disposition of the property are deemed to be equal to that amount established without reference to paragraph e.2 of subsection 1 of that section 85.

1997, c. 85, s. 85; 2003, c. 9, s. 34.

522. Notwithstanding section 521.2 and subject to the fourth paragraph, where the taxpayer and the corporation make the election referred to in section 518 in respect of the disposition of property, where the conditions described in the second paragraph are met for the transferor and for the transferee, where the prescribed form referred to in the first paragraph of section 520.1 is sent to the Minister on or before the end of a three-year period, or a longer period allowed by the Minister in the circumstances, that follows the particular date referred to in subparagraph i of subparagraph a of the third paragraph of section 520.1 in respect of the disposition and where, in the prescribed form referred to in the first paragraph of section 520.1 or, if the application made to the Minister under the third paragraph in respect of the disposition is granted by the Minister, in the prescribed form referred to in the second paragraph of section 520.1, the taxpayer and the corporation jointly agree on an amount in respect of the property, the amount so agreed on is deemed to be

(a)  the taxpayer’s proceeds of disposition of the property and the cost of the property to the corporation;

(b)  subject to subparagraph c, equal to the fair market value, at the time of the disposition, of the consideration received by the taxpayer for the property if the amount agreed on is actually less than that fair market value and if the consideration is not a share of the capital stock of the corporation or a right to receive any such share; and

(c)  equal to the fair market value of the property, at the time of the disposition, if the amount agreed on is actually greater than that fair market value.

The conditions referred to in the first paragraph are as follows:

(a)  in the case of an individual, the individual must be resident in Québec at the end of the individual’s taxation year in which the disposition is made and, if the second paragraph of section 22 applies to the individual for that year, the proportion applicable in respect of the individual in that second paragraph for that year must be not less than 9/10;

(b)  in the case of a corporation, the proportion that the business carried on by the corporation in Québec is of the aggregate of the business carried on in Canada or in Québec and elsewhere established by the regulations made under section 771 for its taxation year in which the disposition is made, must be not less than 9/10; and

(c)  in the case of a partnership, the proportion that the business carried on in Québec is of the aggregate of the business carried on in Canada or in Québec and elsewhere that would be established in its respect by the regulations made under section 771 for its taxation year in which the disposition is made if the partnership were a corporation and if its fiscal period were a taxation year, must be not less than 9/10.

In addition, the Minister may, on a joint application by the taxpayer and by the corporation, allow, for the purposes of the first paragraph in respect of the disposition, the taxpayer and the corporation

(a)  where the election made by the taxpayer and the corporation is the first election mentioned in section 518, to agree on an amount in respect of the property if they have not done so in the prescribed form referred to in the first paragraph of section 520.1;

(b)  where the election made by the taxpayer and the corporation is the first election mentioned in section 518, to be deemed never to have agreed on an amount in respect of the property; or

(c)  to agree on a new amount in respect of the property, which amount is deemed to be the only amount agreed on in respect of the property for the purposes of the first paragraph.

However, where the election made by the taxpayer and the corporation is the first election mentioned in section 518, this section does not apply in respect of the disposition unless all or substantially all of the difference between the amount that would, but for this section, be determined in respect of the property under section 521.2 and the amount agreed on in its respect in the first paragraph, is justified by a difference between the cost amount of the property to the taxpayer, immediately before the disposition, for the purposes of Part I of the Income Tax Act (Revised Statutes of Canada, 1985, chapter 1, 5th Supplement) and the cost amount, at that time, for the purposes of this Part, or by another reason considered by the Minister to be acceptable in the circumstances.

Where the election made by the taxpayer and the corporation in respect of the disposition is not the first election mentioned in section 518 and, but for this paragraph, any of the conditions for the application of the first paragraph in respect of the disposition is not met, the election is deemed, notwithstanding section 518, never to have been made by the taxpayer and the corporation in respect of the disposition.

However, for the purposes of section 41.0.1, the cost to the corporation of the passenger vehicle is deemed to be an amount equal to its fair market value immediately before the disposition.

1990, c. 59, s. 191; 1997, c. 3, s. 71; 1997, c. 85, s. 92; 2021, c. 18, s. 46.

However, for the purposes of section 41.0.1, the cost to the corporation of the vehicle is deemed to be an amount equal to its fair market value immediately before the disposition.

2021, c. 18, s. 47.

(a)  the capital cost to the transferee of the property is deemed to be equal to the amount that was its capital cost to the transferor; and

(b)  the excess is deemed to have been allowed to the transferee as depreciation in respect of the property for the taxation years that ended before the time of disposition.

Where Divisions I and II have applied in respect of the disposition of any property by an individual to a corporation, the cost of the property to the individual was included in computing an amount determined under section 75.2.1 or 75.3 in respect of the individual, the property is depreciable property of the corporation, and the amount, in this section referred to as the “individual’s original cost”, that would be the cost of the property to the individual immediately before its disposition if this Act were read without reference to section 75.5 exceeds the individual’s proceeds of disposition of the property, the following rules apply:

(a)  the capital cost to the corporation of the property is deemed to be equal to the individual’s original cost; and

(b)  the amount by which the individual’s original cost exceeds the individual’s proceeds of disposition of the property is deemed to have been allowed to the corporation as depreciation in respect of the property for taxation years that end before the time of disposition.

(c)  in the case of a common share of a given class of the capital stock of the corporation, to that proportion of the excess of the proceeds of disposition of the property over the aggregate of the fair market value, at the time of disposition, of the particular property contemplated in paragraph a, that he receives for such disposition, and of the cost, to him, of all the preferred shares which he has a right to receive for such disposition, that the fair market value, immediately after the disposition, of such common share of that class is, at the same time, of the fair market value all the common shares of the capital stock of the corporation that he receives or has a right to receive as consideration for such disposition.

529. Where a partnership disposes of any property (other than an eligible derivative, within the meaning of section 85.8, if subparagraph b of the first paragraph of section 85.7 applies to the partnership) to a taxable Canadian corporation for consideration that includes a share of the capital stock of the corporation, and all the members of the partnership and the corporation make a valid election for the purposes of subsection 2 of section 85 of the Income Tax Act (R.S.C. 1985, c. 1 (5th Suppl.)) in respect of the disposition or, where that election cannot be made by reason of subsection 21.2 of section 13 of that Act, make an election, in the prescribed form referred to in the first paragraph of section 520.1, the provisions of Divisions I to III apply, with the necessary modifications, in respect of the disposition as if the partnership were a taxpayer resident in Canada that had disposed of the property to the corporation.

In addition, for the purposes of the third paragraph of section 520.1 in respect of the disposition, subparagraph a of that paragraph is to be read as if “the taxation year which, of the taxation years of those persons, ends the latest” in the portion before subparagraph i was replaced by “that taxation year of the corporation or the fiscal period of the partnership in which the disposition was made, whichever year or period in the latter case ends later”.

529.1. Except for the purposes of this section, where property is disposed of to a corporation before 26 March 1997 by a taxpayer or a partnership, in subparagraph b referred to as the “transferor”, Divisions I to III, or I to IV, as the case may be, as they read in respect of property disposed of on 26 March 1997 and not as they read in respect of the disposition, apply in respect of the disposition where

(a)  the disposition is made after 18 December 1996, or is part of a series of transactions or events that began before 19 December 1996 and ended after 18 December 1996; and

(b)  it may not reasonably be considered that all or substantially all of an excess amount is attributable to the difference between the cost amount of the property to the transferor, immediately before the disposition, for the purposes of this Part and the cost amount of the property to the transferor, at that time, for the purposes of Part I of the Income Tax Act (Revised Statutes of Canada, 1985, chapter 1, 5th Supplement), where that excess amount is

i.  the amount by which the transferor’s income for the taxation year in which the disposition is made is reduced by reason of the application of Divisions I to III, or I to IV, as the case may be, in respect of the disposition, exceeds the amount, if any, by which the transferor’s income for that year, established for the purposes of Part I of the Income Tax Act, is reduced by reason of the application of section 85 of that Act in respect of the disposition, or

ii.  the amount by which the cost amount of the property to the corporation, immediately after the disposition, for the purposes of this Part, exceeds the cost amount of the property to the corporation established at that time for the purposes of Part I of the Income Tax Act.

However, the first paragraph does not apply where the disposition is of property in respect of which section 522, as it reads in respect of property disposed of on 26 March 1997, would apply if

(a)  the disposition had been made on 26 March 1997;

(b)  where the election referred to in section 518 or in the first paragraph of section 529, as the case may be, as that section 518 or that paragraph reads in respect of property disposed of on 26 March 1997, was not made in respect of the disposition, the election had been made for an amount agreed on equal to the fair market value of the property at the time of the disposition; and

(c)  an amount had been agreed on in respect of the property in the prescribed form for the purposes of that section 522, and was equal to the amount agreed on in its respect in the election made under section 518 or the first paragraph of section 529, as the case may be, as that section 518 or that paragraph reads in respect of the disposition, or to the fair market value of the property at the time of the disposition if no election were made.

530.

1972, c. 23, s. 413; 1984, c. 35, s. 15; 1997, c. 3, s. 71.

531. The partnership which, at the time of its winding-up, has distributed property contemplated in section 530 to a member of the partnership is deemed to have disposed of it for proceeds equal to the cost amount to the partnership of the property immediately before such distribution.

532. The cost to each member of the partnership of each property received or receivable by the member as consideration for the disposition of the member’s partnership interest on the winding-up of the partnership is deemed to be

(a)  in the case of property other than a share of the capital stock of the corporation or a right to receive such share, the fair market value of that property at the time of the winding-up;

(b)  in the case of a preferred share of a given class of the capital stock of the corporation that was not accompanied by a common share, the amount determined under subparagraph ii and, if it was accompanied by a common share, the lesser of:

i.  the fair market value, immediately after the winding-up, of such preferred share of that class which he receives or has the right to receive; and

ii.  that proportion of the excess of the adjusted cost base to him of his partnership interest immediately before its winding-up over the aggregate of the fair market value, at the time of winding-up, of the consideration contemplated in paragraph a and received by him from the disposition of his partnership interest, that the fair market value, immediately after the winding-up, of such preferred share of that class that he so receives or has the right to receive is of the fair market value, at the same time, of all preferred shares of the capital stock of the corporation which he receives or also has the right to receive as consideration for the disposition; and

(c)  in the case of a common share of a given class of the capital stock of the corporation, an amount equal to that proportion of the amount by which the adjusted cost base to him of his partnership interest immediately before the winding-up exceeds the aggregate of the fair market value, at the time of disposition, of the property contemplated in paragraph a that he receives for the disposition, and the cost to him of all the preferred shares he has the right to receive for the disposition, that the fair market value, immediately after the disposition, of that common share of that class is at the same time of the fair market value of all the common shares of the capital stock of the corporation he receives or has the right to receive as consideration for the disposition.

DIVISION VI EXCHANGE OF SHARES

1975, c. 22, s. 122.

536. The rules set out in sections 537 to 539 apply where a Canadian corporation, in this division referred to as the “particular corporation”, issues a share of any particular class of its capital stock to a taxpayer in exchange for capital property owned by the taxpayer that is a share, in this division referred to as the “exchanged share”, of a particular class of the capital stock of a second corporation which is a taxable Canadian corporation.

However, they do not apply where

(a)  the taxpayer and the particular corporation were, immediately before the exchange, not dealing with each other at arm’s length, otherwise than by reason of a right referred to in paragraph b of section 20 that is a right of the particular corporation to acquire the exchanged share, or the taxpayer and the corporation made an election under section 518 or 529 in respect of the exchanged share;

(b)  immediately after the exchange, the taxpayer or persons with whom the taxpayer is not dealing at arm’s length, separately or together, controlled the particular corporation or owned shares of the capital stock thereof having a fair market value of more than 50% of that of all of the outstanding shares of its capital stock;

(c)  the taxpayer receives a consideration other than a share of the particular class of the capital stock of the particular corporation in exchange for the exchanged share, except where such other consideration results from the disposition to the particular corporation of a share of the capital stock of the second corporation other than the exchanged share; or

(d)  the taxpayer is a foreign affiliate of another taxpayer resident in Canada at the end of the taxation year of the taxpayer in which the exchange occurred and the taxpayer has included any portion of the gain or loss, otherwise determined, from the disposition of the exchanged share in computing the taxpayer’s foreign accrual property income, within the meaning of section 579, for that taxation year.

1975, c. 22, s. 122; 1978, c. 26, s. 95; 1989, c. 77, s. 56; 1990, c. 59, s. 196; 1994, c. 22, s. 198; 1995, c. 49, s. 141; 1997, c. 3, s. 71; 2004, c. 8, s. 107.

537. Unless the taxpayer has included any portion of the gain or loss, otherwise determined, from the disposition of the exchanged share in computing the taxpayer’s income for the taxation year in which the exchange occurred, the taxpayer is deemed to have disposed of the exchanged share for proceeds of disposition equal to the adjusted cost base of the share to the taxpayer immediately before the exchange and to have acquired the share issued in exchange at a cost equal to such adjusted cost base.

1975, c. 22, s. 122; 2004, c. 8, s. 107.

538. If the exchanged share is a taxable Québec property or taxable Canadian property of the taxpayer, the share issued in exchange is deemed to be, at any time that is within 60 months after the exchange, a taxable Québec property or taxable Canadian property of the taxpayer, as the case may be.

1975, c. 22, s. 122; 2004, c. 8, s. 107; 2011, c. 6, s. 134.

539. The cost of the exchanged share to the particular corporation, at any particular time up to and including the time it disposes of the share, is deemed to be the lesser of the following amounts:

(a)  the fair market value of the exchanged share immediately before the exchange;

(b)  the paid-up capital of the exchanged share immediately before the exchange.

1975, c. 22, s. 122; 1989, c. 77, s. 57; 1997, c. 3, s. 71; 2004, c. 8, s. 108.

539.1. For the purposes of the first paragraph of section 536 and sections 537 to 539, where a particular corporation issues shares (in this section referred to as “new shares”) of a class of its capital stock to a trust in accordance with a court-approved plan of arrangement, the issue is deemed to be an issue to a taxpayer referred to in the first paragraph of section 536, if the taxpayer disposes of exchanged shares traded on a designated stock exchange to the particular corporation for consideration that consists solely of new shares that are widely traded on a designated stock exchange immediately after and as part of completion of the plan of arrangement.

2015, c. 21, s. 181.

540. Where a taxpayer disposes of capital property that is a share of the capital stock of a foreign affiliate of the taxpayer to a corporation that, immediately after the disposition, is also a foreign affiliate of the taxpayer, for consideration that includes a share of the capital stock of that affiliate:

(a)  section 542 applies, with the necessary modifications, to determine the cost to the taxpayer of all property receivable by him as consideration for such disposition;

(b)  the taxpayer’s proceeds of such disposition of the shares so disposed of is deemed to be equal to the aggregate of the cost to him of all property receivable by him as consideration; and

(c)  the cost to the foreign affiliate of the shares acquired by it from the taxpayer is deemed to be equal to the taxpayer’s proceeds of disposition of them, as determined in paragraph b.

1975, c. 22, s. 122; 1995, c. 63, s. 261; 1997, c. 3, s. 71.

540.1. Section 540 does not apply in respect of a disposition at any time by a taxpayer of a share of the capital stock of a particular foreign affiliate of the taxpayer to another foreign affiliate of the taxpayer if

(a)  the following conditions are met:

i.  all or substantially all of the property of the particular affiliate was, immediately before that time, excluded property, within the meaning of section 576.1, of the particular affiliate, and

ii.  the disposition is part of a transaction or event or a series of transactions or events for the purpose of disposing of the share to a person or partnership that, immediately after the transaction, event or series, was a person or partnership with whom the taxpayer is dealing at arm’s length, other than a foreign affiliate of the taxpayer in respect of which the taxpayer has a qualifying interest, within the meaning of paragraph m of subsection 2 of section 95 of the Income Tax Act (R.S.C. 1985, c. 1, (5th Suppl.)), at the time of the transaction or event or throughout the series, as the case may be; or

(b)  the adjusted cost base to the taxpayer of the share at that time is greater than the amount that would, in the absence of section 540, be the taxpayer’s proceeds of disposition of the share in respect of the disposition.

1984, c. 15, s. 112; 2015, c. 21, s. 182.

540.2. Subject to section 540, and subsection 2 of section 95 of the Income Tax Act (R.S.C. 1985, c. 1, (5th Suppl.)) when it has effect for the purposes of section 579, the rules set out in sections 540.3 and 540.4 apply where a corporation not resident in Canada (in this division referred to as the “foreign corporation”) issues a share of its capital stock to a taxpayer in exchange for capital property owned by the taxpayer that is a share (in this division referred to as the “exchanged foreign share”) of the capital stock of a second corporation not resident in Canada.

However, they do not apply where

(a)  the taxpayer and the foreign corporation were, immediately before the exchange, not dealing with each other at arm’s length, otherwise than by reason of a right referred to in paragraph b of section 20 that is a right of the foreign corporation to acquire the exchanged foreign share;

(b)  immediately after the exchange, the taxpayer or persons with whom the taxpayer is not dealing at arm’s length, separately or together, controlled the foreign corporation or owned shares of the capital stock thereof having a fair market value of more than 50% of that of all of the outstanding shares of its capital stock;

(c)  the taxpayer receives a consideration other than the issued share in exchange for the exchanged foreign share, except where such consideration results from the disposition to the foreign corporation of a share of the capital stock of the second corporation other than the exchanged foreign share; or

(d)  the taxpayer is a foreign affiliate of another taxpayer resident in Canada at the end of the taxation year of the taxpayer in which the exchange occurred and

i.  the taxpayer has included any portion of the gain or loss, otherwise determined, from the disposition of the exchanged foreign share in computing the taxpayer’s foreign accrual property income, within the meaning of section 579, for that taxation year, or

ii.  the exchanged foreign share is excluded property, within the meaning of section 576.1, of the taxpayer.

2004, c. 8, s. 109; 2015, c. 21, s. 183.

540.3. Unless the taxpayer has included any portion of the gain or loss, otherwise determined, from the disposition of the exchanged foreign share in computing the taxpayer’s income for the taxation year in which the exchange occurred, the taxpayer is deemed to have disposed of the exchanged foreign share for proceeds of disposition equal to the adjusted cost base of the share to the taxpayer immediately before the exchange and to have acquired the share issued in exchange at a cost equal to such adjusted cost base.

2004, c. 8, s. 109.

540.4. If the exchanged foreign share is a taxable Québec property or taxable Canadian property of the taxpayer, the share issued in exchange is deemed to be, at any time that is within 60 months after the exchange, a taxable Québec property or taxable Canadian property of the taxpayer, as the case may be.

2004, c. 8, s. 109; 2011, c. 6, s. 135.

540.4.1. For the purposes of the first paragraph of section 540.2 and sections 540.3 and 540.4, where a foreign corporation issues shares (in this section referred to as “new shares”) of a class of its capital stock to a trust in accordance with a court-approved plan of arrangement, the issue is deemed to be an issue to a taxpayer referred to in the first paragraph of section 540.2, if the taxpayer disposes of exchanged foreign shares traded on a designated stock exchange to the foreign corporation for consideration that consists solely of new shares that are widely traded on a designated stock exchange immediately after and as part of completion of the plan of arrangement.

2015, c. 21, s. 184.

540.5. The rules in section 540.6 apply if a taxpayer disposes, before 1 January 2013, of an investment in a SIFT wind-up entity (in section 540.6 referred to as the “particular unit”) to a taxable Canadian corporation if

(a)  the disposition occurs during a period (in this section and section 540.6 referred to as the “exchange period”) of no more than 60 days at the end of which all of the interests in the entity that are investments in a SIFT wind-up entity are owned by the corporation;

(b)  the taxpayer receives no consideration for the disposition other than a share (in this section and section 540.6 referred to as the “exchange share”) of the capital stock of the corporation that is issued during the exchange period to the taxpayer by the corporation;

(c)  neither of sections 518 and 529 applies in respect of the disposition; and

(d)  all of the exchange shares issued to holders of interests in the entity that are investments in a SIFT wind-up entity are shares of a single class of the capital stock of the corporation.

2010, c. 25, s. 39.

540.6. The rules to which section 540.5 refers, in relation to a disposition by a taxpayer of a particular unit of a SIFT wind-up entity to a corporation for consideration that is an exchange share, are as follows:

(a)  the taxpayer’s proceeds of disposition of the particular unit, and cost of the exchange share, are deemed to be equal to the cost amount to the taxpayer of the particular unit immediately before the disposition;

(b)  if the particular unit was immediately before the disposition taxable Québec property or taxable Canadian property of the taxpayer, the exchange share is deemed to be, at any time that is within 60 months after the disposition, taxable Québec property or taxable Canadian property of the taxpayer, as the case may be;

(c)  if the exchange share’s fair market value immediately after the disposition exceeds the particular unit’s fair market value at the time of the disposition, the excess is deemed to be an amount that Division IV of Chapter II of Title III requires to be included in computing the taxpayer’s income for the taxpayer’s taxation year in which the disposition occurs;

(d)  if the particular unit’s fair market value at the time of the disposition exceeds the exchange share’s fair market value immediately after the disposition, and it is reasonable to regard any part of the excess as a benefit that the taxpayer desired to have conferred on a person, or partnership, with whom the taxpayer does not deal at arm’s length, the excess is deemed to be an amount that Division IV of Chapter II of Title III requires to be included in computing the taxpayer’s income for the taxpayer’s taxation year in which the disposition occurs; and

(e)  the cost to the corporation of the particular unit is deemed to be the lesser of

i.  the fair market value of the particular unit immediately before the disposition, and

ii.  the amount determined for B in the formula in paragraph f of subsection 8 of section 85.1 of the Income Tax Act (R.S.C. 1985, c. 1, (5th Suppl.)), in respect of the particular unit.

2010, c. 25, s. 39; 2011, c. 6, s. 136.

CHAPTER V REORGANIZATION OF CAPITAL

1972, c. 23.

541. This chapter applies where at a particular time after 6 May 1974, in the course of a reorganization of the capital of a corporation, a taxpayer disposes to the corporation of capital property that is shares of a particular class of the capital stock of the corporation that are then owned by him for consideration receivable by him from the corporation that includes another share of such capital stock, except where section 518 or 529 applies.

1972, c. 23, s. 418; 1975, c. 22, s. 123; 1984, c. 15, s. 112; 1995, c. 49, s. 142; 1997, c. 3, s. 71.

542. The cost to the taxpayer of any property receivable by him as consideration for the disposition referred to in section 541 is deemed to be:

(a)  in the case of property other than a share of the capital stock of the corporation, the fair market value of that property at the time of such disposition;

(b)  in the case of a share of any class of the capital stock of the corporation, that proportion of the amount by which the aggregate of the adjusted cost base to the taxpayer, immediately before the disposition, of each share disposed of exceeds the fair market value at the same time of the property referred to in paragraph a, that the fair market value, immediately after the disposition, of such share of such class is of the fair market value, at the same time, of all the shares of the capital stock of the corporation receivable by him as consideration for the disposition.

1972, c. 23, s. 419; 1975, c. 22, s. 123; 1997, c. 3, s. 71.

543. The proceeds of disposition of the shares of the taxpayer, upon reorganization, as provided in this chapter, are deemed to be equal to the aggregate of the cost to him of all property receivable by him as consideration.

1972, c. 23, s. 421; 1975, c. 22, s. 125.

543.1. Notwithstanding paragraph b of section 542 and section 543, where the fair market value of the shares disposed of by the taxpayer exceeds, immediately before the disposition, the aggregate of the cost deemed to him under paragraph a of section 542 of any property contemplated therein, and of the fair market value, immediately after the disposition, of every share contemplated in paragraph b of section 542, and it is reasonable to regard all or any portion of such excess as a benefit that the taxpayer desires to have conferred on a person related to the taxpayer, the following rules apply:

(a)  the taxpayer is deemed to dispose of the shares for proceeds equal to the lesser of their fair market value immediately before the disposition and of the aggregate of the cost deemed to him under paragraph a of section 542 of any property contemplated therein, and of the amount of the benefit conferred;

(b)  the taxpayer’s capital loss resulting from the disposition of shares is deemed to be nil; and

(c)  the cost to the taxpayer of a share of any class of the capital stock of the corporation receivable by him in consideration for the shares disposed of is deemed to be that proportion of the amount by which the adjusted cost base to the taxpayer, immediately before the disposition, of each share disposed of exceeds the aggregate determined in paragraph a, that the fair market value, immediately after the disposition, of such share of such class is of the fair market value, at the same time, of the aggregate of the shares receivable by him as consideration for the disposition.

1982, c. 5, s. 123; 1997, c. 3, s. 71.

543.2. The following rules apply in respect of each share receivable by a taxpayer as consideration for the disposition referred to in section 541:

(a)  the taxpayer shall deduct after the disposition, in computing the adjusted cost base to the taxpayer of the share, the amount determined by the formula

A × B / C;

(b)  the taxpayer shall add after the disposition, in computing the adjusted cost base to the taxpayer of the share, the amount determined under subparagraph a in respect of the acquisition.

For the purposes of the formula in subparagraph a of the first paragraph,

(a)  A is the amount by which

i.  the aggregate of all amounts deducted under paragraph b.1 of section 257 in computing, immediately before the disposition, the adjusted cost base to the taxpayer of the shares disposed of, exceeds

ii.  the amount that would be, but for subparagraph b of the first paragraph of section 234, the taxpayer’s capital gain for the taxation year that includes the time of the disposition, from the disposition of the shares disposed of;

(b)  B is the fair market value of the share at the time it was acquired by the taxpayer as consideration for the disposition of the shares disposed of; and

(c)  C is the fair market value of all shares receivable by the taxpayer in consideration for the disposition at the time referred to in subparagraph b.

1996, c. 39, s. 150.

CHAPTER VI AMALGAMATION

1972, c. 23.

DIVISION I GENERALITIES

1972, c. 23.

544. (1)  For the purposes of this chapter, an amalgamation is a merger of several taxable Canadian corporations, hereinafter called “predecessor corporations”, which are replaced to form one corporate entity hereinafter referred to as the “new corporation”, in such a manner that, on account of such merger,

(a)  all of the property of the predecessor corporations immediately before the merger, except an amount receivable from a predecessor corporation or a share of the capital stock of such a corporation, becomes property of the new corporation;

(b)  all the liabilities of the predecessor corporations immediately before the merger, except an amount payable to a predecessor corporation, become liabilities of the new corporation; and

(c)  all of the shareholders, who owned shares of the capital stock of any predecessor corporation immediately before the merger, receive a share of the capital stock of the new corporation, excepting the predecessor corporations themselves.

(2)  An amalgamation does not result from the acquisition of property of one corporation by another or from the distribution of property of another corporation being wound up to another corporation.

(3)  For the purposes of paragraph c of subsection 1, where there is a merger of a corporation and of one or more of its subsidiary wholly controlled corporations or of several corporations each of which is a subsidiary wholly-controlled corporation of the same corporation, any share of the capital stock of a predecessor corporation owned by a shareholder, except a predecessor corporation, immediately before the merger that was not cancelled on the merger is deemed to be a share of the capital stock of the new corporation received by the shareholder by virtue of the merger as consideration for the disposition of a share of the capital stock of the predecessor corporation.

(4)  Where there has been an amalgamation of a corporation and one or more of its subsidiary wholly-owned corporations or two or more corporations each of which is a subsidiary wholly-owned corporation of the same person, the new corporation is, for the purposes of Chapter VII.1 of the Act respecting the application of the Taxation Act (chapter I-4) and sections 332.1, 332.2, 359.1 to 359.17, 362 to 418.36, 419.1 to 419.4 and 419.6, deemed to be the same corporation as, and a continuation of, each predecessor corporation.

(4.1)  (Subsection replaced).

(5)  For the purposes of subsections 3 and 4, this subsection and the second paragraph of section 547.1, and notwithstanding section 1, “subsidiary wholly-owned corporation” of a particular person means a corporation all the issued and outstanding shares of the capital stock of which are owned by

(a)  the particular person;

(b)  a corporation that is a subsidiary wholly-owned corporation of the particular person; or

(c)  any combination of persons each of which is a person described in paragraph a or b.

(2)  The new corporation may deduct, for the purposes of computing its income or taxable income, all the amounts that would have been otherwise deductible when computing the income or taxable income of the predecessor corporations.

(3)  (Subsection repealed).

(4)  The new corporation is deemed, for the purposes of section 104.1 or 104.4, to have deducted in computing its income the aggregate of all amounts deducted under section 156.1 or 156.5, as the case may be, in computing the income of the predecessor corporations.

(5)  For the purposes of sections 741 to 744.2.2,

(a)  any taxable dividend received on a share that was deductible in computing the predecessor corporation’s taxable income for a taxation year under sections 738 to 745 or section 845 is deemed to be a taxable dividend received on the share by the new corporation that was deductible from the new corporation’s income for a taxation year under sections 738 to 745 or section 845, as the case may be;

(b)  any dividend, other than a taxable dividend, received on a share by the predecessor corporation is deemed to have been received on the share by the new corporation; and

(c)  a share acquired by the new corporation from a predecessor corporation is deemed to have been owned by the new corporation throughout any period of time throughout which it was owned by a predecessor corporation.

1972, c. 23, s. 423; 1975, c. 22, s. 127; 1981, c. 12, s. 2; 1989, c. 5, s. 71; 1989, c. 77, s. 59; 1995, c. 63, s. 40; 1997, c. 3, s. 71; 1997, c. 14, s. 83; 2000, c. 39, s. 31; 2001, c. 7, s. 53.

546.1. For the purposes of section 194, where the income of the predecessor corporation at the end of its taxation year ending immediately before the amalgamation, in this section referred to as its “last taxation year”, from a farming business and the income of the new corporation from a farming business are computed in accordance with the cash method, the new corporation is deemed to have purchased, in its first taxation year and in the course of carrying on that farming business, the property described in its inventory in connection with that business at the commencement of its first taxation year that was property described in the inventory in connection with the farming business of the predecessor corporation at the end of its last taxation year, for an amount equal to the aggregate of all amounts each of which is an amount included, by reason of subparagraph b or c of the second paragraph of section 194, in computing the income from a farming business of the predecessor corporation for its last taxation year.

DIVISION II SHAREHOLDER OR CREDITOR OF A PREDECESSOR CORPORATION

1972, c. 23; 1975, c. 22, s. 129; 1997, c. 3, s. 71.

551. This division applies to a taxpayer who, immediately before an amalgamation, owned a capital property that was a share of the capital stock of a predecessor corporation, an option to acquire such a share, or a bond, a debenture, a hypothecary claim, a mortgage, a note or other similar obligation of such corporation and who received from the new corporation, by reason of such amalgamation, no consideration for the disposition of such capital property other than a property that is, as the case may be, a share of the capital stock of the new corporation, an option to acquire such share, a bond, a debenture, a hypothecary claim, a mortgage, a note or another similar obligation, respectively, of the new corporation.

However, this division does not apply if the taxpayer is himself a predecessor corporation or if the amount payable on the maturity of the bond, debenture, hypothecary claim, mortgage, note or other similar obligation received as consideration for the capital property disposed of on the amalgamation is not the same as the amount that would have been payable on the maturity of such capital property disposed of.

1972, c. 23, s. 429; 1975, c. 22, s. 130; 1996, c. 39, s. 152; 1997, c. 3, s. 71; 2005, c. 1, s. 120.

552. The taxpayer referred to in section 551 is deemed to have disposed, by reason of the amalgamation, of capital property described therein for proceeds equal to its adjusted cost base to him immediately before the amalgamation.

1972, c. 23, s. 430; 1975, c. 22, s. 131.

553. The taxpayer referred to in section 551 is deemed to have acquired the property received as consideration for the disposition at a cost equal to the proceeds determined under section 552 for the capital property disposed of or, in the case of a share of any particular class of the new corporation, at a cost equal to that proportion of such proceeds that the fair market value, immediately after the amalgamation, of the share of such class so acquired by him is of the fair market value, at the same time, of all the shares so acquired by him.

1972, c. 23, s. 431; 1974, c. 18, s. 23; 1975, c. 22, s. 132; 1997, c. 3, s. 71.

553.1. Notwithstanding sections 552 and 553, where, immediately before the amalgamation, the fair market value of the shares of the capital stock of a predecessor corporation that belonged to a taxpayer exceeds the fair market value, immediately after the amalgamation, of the shares he has received as consideration, and it is reasonable to regard all or any portion of such excess as a benefit that the taxpayer desires to have conferred on a person related to the taxpayer, the following rules apply:

(a)  the taxpayer shall be deemed to dispose of the shares of the capital stock of the predecessor corporation for proceeds equal to the lesser of their fair market value immediately before the amalgamation and the aggregate of their adjusted cost base to him at the same time, and the amount of the benefit conferred;

(b)  the taxpayer’s capital loss resulting from the disposition of the shares shall be deemed to be nil; and

(c)  the cost to the taxpayer of any share of any class of the capital stock of the new corporation acquired by him on the amalgamation is deemed to be that proportion of the lesser of the adjusted cost base to him, immediately before the amalgamation, of the shares disposed of and the aggregate of the fair market value, immediately after the amalgamation, of all the shares acquired by him on the amalgamation, and the amount that, but for paragraph b, would be the taxpayer’s capital loss from the disposition of the shares, that the fair market value, immediately after the amalgamation, of such share of that class is of the fair market value, at the same time, of the aggregate of the shares so acquired by him.

1982, c. 5, s. 125; 1997, c. 3, s. 71.

553.2. Where the cost to a taxpayer referred to in section 551 of a property received as consideration for the disposition that is an option or a bond, debenture or note is determined at any time under section 553 and the terms of the bond, debenture or note conferred upon the holder the right to exchange that bond, debenture or note for shares,

(a)  the taxpayer shall deduct after that time, in computing the adjusted cost base to the taxpayer of the property, the aggregate of all amounts deducted under paragraph b.1 of section 257 in computing, immediately before that time, the adjusted cost base to the taxpayer of the capital property disposed of; and

(b)  the taxpayer shall add, after that time, in computing the adjusted cost base to the taxpayer of the property, the amount determined under paragraph a.

1996, c. 39, s. 153.

554. If the capital property disposed of that is referred to in section 551 is a share or an option to acquire such a share that is a taxable Québec property or taxable Canadian property of the taxpayer, the share or option received as consideration is deemed to be, at any time that is within 60 months after the amalgamation referred to in that section, a taxable Québec property or taxable Canadian property of the taxpayer, as the case may be.

1975, c. 22, s. 134; 1996, c. 39, s. 154; 2011, c. 6, s. 137.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, the first paragraph does not apply where the taxpayer makes a valid election under subsection 8 of section 87 of the Income Tax Act (Revised Statutes of Canada, 1985, chapter 1, 5th Supplement) to have the rules provided for in that section not apply in respect of the exchange.

1975, c. 22, s. 136; 1984, c. 15, s. 117; 1995, c. 63, s. 261; 1997, c. 3, s. 71; 1997, c. 85, s. 95; 2001, c. 53, s. 82; 2004, c. 8, s. 110.

555.0.2. For the purposes of section 555.0.1, if there is a merger or combination, otherwise than as a result of the distribution of property to one corporation on the winding-up of another corporation, of two or more corporations not resident in Canada (each of which is referred to in this section as a “predecessor foreign corporation”), as a result of which one or more predecessor foreign corporations ceases to exist and, immediately after the merger or combination, another predecessor foreign corporation (referred to in this section as the “survivor corporation”) owns properties (except an amount receivable from, or shares of the capital stock of, any predecessor foreign corporation) representing all or substantially all of the fair market value of all such properties owned by each predecessor foreign corporation immediately before the merger or combination, the following rules apply:

(f)  all of the shares of the capital stock of each predecessor foreign corporation (other than the survivor corporation) that were outstanding immediately before the merger or combination and that cease to exist as a consequence of the merger or combination are deemed to have been exchanged by the shareholders of each such predecessor foreign corporation for shares of the survivor corporation as a consequence of the merger or combination.

2015, c. 21, s. 185.

555.0.3. Section 555 does not apply in respect of a taxpayer’s share of the capital stock of a predecessor foreign corporation that is exchanged for or becomes, on a foreign merger, a share of the capital stock of the new foreign corporation or the foreign parent corporation, where

(a)  the new foreign corporation is, at the time that is immediately after the foreign merger, a foreign affiliate of the taxpayer;

(b)  shares of the capital stock of the new foreign corporation are, at the time that is immediately after the foreign merger, excluded property, within the meaning of section 576.1, of another foreign affiliate of the taxpayer; and

ii.  a partnership a member of which is, immediately after the transaction, event or series, a person described in subparagraph i.

2017, c. 1, s. 138.

555.0.4. If, at a particular time, there is a merger of two or more foreign corporations, one of the foreign corporations (in this section referred to as the “particular corporation”) disposes, because of the merger, of a particular taxable Canadian property that is a share of the capital stock of a corporation, an interest in a partnership or an interest in a trust, the particular property becomes property of the corporation resulting from the merger (in this section referred to as the “new corporation”) and the new corporation and the particular corporation make a valid election under paragraph e of subsection 8.4 of section 87 of the Income Tax Act (R.S.C. 1985, c. 1 (5th Suppl.)) in respect of the merger, the following rules apply:

(a)  if the particular property is an interest in a partnership,

i.  the particular corporation is deemed not to have disposed of the particular property, and

ii.  the new corporation is deemed

(1)  to have acquired the particular property at a cost equal to the cost of the particular property to the particular corporation, and

Notwithstanding any other provision of this Part other than section 427.4, the rules set forth in this chapter apply to the winding-up after 6 May 1974 of a taxable Canadian corporation not less than 90% of the issued shares of each class of the capital stock of which were, immediately before the winding-up, owned by another taxable Canadian corporation, and the balance of the shares of which were owned by persons with whom the other corporation was dealing at arm’s length.

In this chapter, the wound-up corporation is called the “subsidiary” while the other corporation owning the shares is called “parent”.

1972, c. 23, s. 434; 1975, c. 22, s. 137; 1980, c. 13, s. 55; 1982, c. 5, s. 126; 1989, c. 77, s. 61; 1997, c. 3, s. 71.

557. Any property, other than an interest in a partnership, that was distributed to the parent by a subsidiary on the winding-up is deemed to have been disposed of by the subsidiary for proceeds equal to the cost amount to the subsidiary of the property immediately before the winding-up.

However,

(a)  in the case of a Canadian resource property, a foreign resource property or a right to receive production, as defined in section 158.1, to which a matchable expenditure, as defined in section 158.1, relates, the proceeds are deemed to be equal to zero; and

(b)  in the case of a specified debt obligation, within the meaning assigned by section 851.22.1, other than a mark-to-market property, within the meaning assigned by that section, the property is deemed, except for the purposes of section 427.4, not to have been disposed of where the subsidiary was a financial institution, within the meaning assigned by section 851.22.1, in its taxation year in which its property was distributed to the parent on the winding-up and the parent was such a financial institution in its taxation year in which it received the property of the subsidiary on the winding-up.

Each interest of the subsidiary in a partnership that was distributed to the parent on the winding-up is deemed, except for the purposes of section 632, not to have been disposed of by the subsidiary.

1972, c. 23, s. 435; 1975, c. 22, s. 138; 1986, c. 19, s. 120; 1989, c. 77, s. 62; 1993, c. 16, s. 219; 1994, c. 22, s. 203; 1996, c. 39, s. 156; 1997, c. 3, s. 71; 2001, c. 7, s. 58.

558. The parent is deemed to dispose, on the winding-up, of the shares of the capital stock of the subsidiary owned by it immediately before that time for proceeds equal to the greater of

(a)  the lesser of

i.  the paid-up capital in respect of the shares immediately before the winding-up; and

ii.  the amount by which the aggregate of the amounts each of which is in respect of any property owned by the subsidiary immediately before the winding-up and equal to the cost amount to it of the property at that time, plus its cash then on hand, exceeds the aggregate of all the debts of the subsidiary immediately before the winding-up and of the amount of each reserve deducted by the subsidiary in computing its income for the taxation year during which its property was distributed to the parent on the winding-up, other than a reserve contemplated in sections 153, 234 and 279 and sections 357 and 358, as they apply in respect of a disposition made before 13 November 1981; or

(b)  the aggregate of amounts each of which is in respect of any share of the capital stock of the subsidiary and equal to the adjusted cost base of the share to the parent, immediately before the winding-up.

1972, c. 23, s. 436; 1973, c. 17, s. 63; 1973, c. 18, s. 22; 1975, c. 22, s. 139; 1978, c. 26, s. 100; 1982, c. 5, s. 127; 1993, c. 16, s. 220; 1997, c. 3, s. 71; 1997, c. 14, s. 86; 2023, c. 19, s. 36.

559. Notwithstanding the reference to section 546 in section 564, except where section 546 applies in respect of a property to which subparagraph b of the second paragraph of section 557 applies, the cost to the parent of each property of the subsidiary distributed to the parent on the winding-up is deemed, subject to the second paragraph, to be equal

(a)  in the case of a property that is an interest in a partnership, to the amount that but for this section would be the cost to the parent of the property; and

(b)  in any other case, to the amount by which the amount that, but for section 427.4, would be deemed by section 557 to be the proceeds of disposition of the property exceeds the amount by which the cost amount to the subsidiary has been reduced because of sections 485 to 485.18 on the winding-up.

If the property referred to in the first paragraph is a capital property, other than property described in the third paragraph, owned by the subsidiary at the time the parent last acquired control of the subsidiary and subsequently without interruption until the time it was distributed to the parent on the winding-up, there is to be added to the cost to the parent of the property, as otherwise determined under the first paragraph, the amount determined under section 560 in respect of the property.

The property referred to in the second paragraph is

(a)  depreciable property, including a leasehold interest in a depreciable property and an option to acquire a depreciable property;

(b)  property transferred to the parent on the winding-up where the transfer is part of a distribution, within the meaning assigned by section 308.0.1, made in the course of a reorganization in which a dividend was received to which section 308.1 would, but for section 308.3, apply;

(c)  property acquired by the subsidiary from the parent or from any person or partnership that was not, otherwise than because of a right referred to in paragraph b of section 20, dealing at arm’s length with the parent, or any other property acquired by the subsidiary in substitution for it, where the acquisition was part of the series of transactions or events in which the parent last acquired control of the subsidiary; or

(d)  property distributed to the parent on the winding-up where, as part of the series of transactions or events that includes the winding-up,

i.  the parent acquired control of the subsidiary, and

ii.  any property distributed to the parent on the winding-up or any other property acquired by any person in substitution therefor is acquired by

(1)  a particular person, other than a specified person, that, at any time during the course of the series and before control of the subsidiary was last acquired by the parent, was a specified shareholder of the subsidiary,

(2)  two or more persons, other than specified persons, if a particular person would have been, at any time during the course of the series and before control of the subsidiary was last acquired by the parent, a specified shareholder of the subsidiary if all the shares that were then owned by those two or more persons were owned at that time by the particular person, or

(3)  a corporation, other than a specified person or the subsidiary, of which a particular person referred to in subparagraph 1 is, at any time during the course of the series of transactions or events and after control of the subsidiary was last acquired by the parent, a specified shareholder, or of which a particular person would be, at any time during the course of the series of transactions or events and after control of the subsidiary was last acquired by the parent, a specified shareholder if all the shares then owned by persons, other than specified persons, referred to in subparagraph 2 and acquired by those persons as part of the series of transactions or events were owned at that time by the particular person.

1972, c. 23, s. 437; 1975, c. 22, s. 140; 1978, c. 26, s. 101; 1980, c. 13, s. 56; 1984, c. 15, s. 118; 1989, c. 77, s. 63; 1990, c. 59, s. 200; 1993, c. 16, s. 221; 1994, c. 22, s. 204; 1996, c. 39, s. 157; 1997, c. 3, s. 71; 2000, c. 5, s. 125; 2004, c. 8, s. 112; 2009, c. 5, s. 182.

560. The amount that is to be added to the cost, to the parent, of a particular capital property described in the second paragraph of section 559 is equal, subject to the second paragraph, to the lesser of

(a)  the total of

i.  the amount designated after 19 December 2006 by the parent in accordance with paragraph d of subsection 1 of section 88 of the Income Tax Act (R.S.C. 1985, c. 1 (5th Suppl.)) in relation to the particular capital property, and

ii.  if the total of the amounts designated by the parent in accordance with paragraph d of subsection 1 of section 88 of the Income Tax Act in relation to the aggregate of the capital properties described in the second paragraph of section 559 corresponds to the maximum total of the amounts that the parent may then designate in accordance with that paragraph d in relation to the aggregate of those capital properties, the portion—that is specified by the parent, in its fiscal return under this Part for the taxation year in which the subsidiary is wound up, in relation to the particular capital property and that is not so specified in relation to another capital property—of the amount by which the amount described in the third paragraph in respect of the capital properties described in the second paragraph of section 559 exceeds the portion of the maximum total of the amounts that the parent may then designate in accordance with that paragraph d in relation to the aggregate of those capital properties that exceeds the aggregate of all amounts each of which is the amount by which the amount described in subparagraph i in respect of a capital property described in the second paragraph of section 559 exceeds the amount determined under subparagraph b in respect of that capital property; and

(b)  the amount by which the fair market value of the particular capital property, at the time the parent last acquired control of the subsidiary, exceeds the aggregate of

i.  the greater of the cost amount to the subsidiary of the capital property at the time the parent last acquired control of the subsidiary and the cost amount to the subsidiary of the capital property immediately before the winding-up, and

ii.  the amount prescribed for the purposes of C in the formula in subparagraph ii of paragraph d of subsection 1 of section 88 of the Income Tax Act.

However, if the aggregate of the amounts determined under the first paragraph in respect of the capital properties described in the second paragraph of section 559 would, but for this paragraph, exceed the amount described in the third paragraph, the amount otherwise determined under the first paragraph in respect of such a capital property must be reduced to the amount specified in relation to that capital property by the parent in its fiscal return under this Part for the taxation year in which the subsidiary is wound up or, if no amount is so specified, by the Minister, so that the aggregate is equal to the amount described in the third paragraph.

The amount referred to in subparagraph ii of subparagraph a of the first paragraph and in the second paragraph is an amount equal to the amount by which the aggregate described in paragraph b of section 558 exceeds the aggregate of

(a)  the amount determined under subparagraph ii of paragraph a of section 558; and

(b)  the aggregate of each amount relating to a share of the capital stock of the subsidiary disposed of by the parent on the winding-up or in contemplation of the winding-up and equal to the aggregate of each amount received by the parent or by a corporation with which the parent was not dealing at arm’s length, otherwise than because of a right referred to in paragraph b of section 20 in respect of the subsidiary, in respect of that share or a share (in this subparagraph referred to as a “replacement share”) that replaced that share or a replacement share or that was exchanged for that share or a replacement share, as a taxable dividend, to the extent that the amount was deductible under sections 738 to 745 or section 845 in computing the taxable income of the recipient corporation for a taxation year and was not an amount on which it was required to pay prescribed tax, or as a capital dividend or life insurance capital dividend.

Chapter V.2 of Title II of Book I applies in relation to a designation made under paragraph d of subsection 1 of section 88 of the Income Tax Act or in relation to a determination made under this section before 20 December 2006.

1972, c. 23, s. 438; 1978, c. 26, s. 102; 1980, c. 13, s. 57; 1990, c. 59, s. 201; 1993, c. 16, s. 222; 1997, c. 3, s. 71; 2009, c. 5, s. 183; 2015, c. 36, s. 23.

560.1. For the purposes of sections 559 and 560, where the parent did not deal at arm’s length with another person at any time before the winding-up, the parent and the other person are deemed never to have dealt with each other at arm’s length, whether or not the parent and the other person coexisted.

The first paragraph does not apply if the other person is a corporation the control of which was acquired by the parent from a person with whom the parent dealt at arm’s length.

1980, c. 13, s. 58; 1997, c. 3, s. 71; 2000, c. 5, s. 126.

560.1.1. For the purposes of this section and subparagraph d of the third paragraph of section 559,

(a)  “specified person”, at a particular time, means

i.  the parent,

ii.  each person who would be related to the parent at that time if

(1)  paragraph b of section 20 were not taken into account, and

(2)  each person who is the child of a deceased individual were related to each brother or sister of the individual and to each child of a deceased brother or sister of the individual, and

iii.  if the particular time is before the incorporation of the parent, each person who is described in subparagraph ii throughout the period that begins at the time the parent is incorporated and ends at the time that is immediately before the beginning of the winding-up;

(a.1)  a person described in subparagraph ii or iii of paragraph a is deemed not to be a specified person if it can reasonably be considered that one of the main purposes of one or more transactions or events is to cause the person to become a specified person so as to prevent a property that is distributed to the parent on the winding-up from being, for the purposes of section 559, a property described in the third paragraph of that section;

(b)  where at a particular time a property is owned or acquired by a partnership or a trust,

i.  the partnership or the trust, as the case may be, is deemed to be a corporation having one class of issued shares, which shares have full voting rights under all circumstances,

ii.  each member of the partnership or beneficiary under the trust, as the case may be, is deemed to own at that time the proportion of the number of issued shares of the capital stock of the corporation that the fair market value at that time of that member’s interest in the partnership or that beneficiary’s interest in the trust, as the case may be, is of the fair market value at that time of all the members’ interests in the partnership or beneficiaries’ interests in the trust, as the case may be, and

iii.  the property is deemed to have been owned or acquired at that time by the corporation;

(c)  in determining whether a person is a specified shareholder of a corporation,

i.  the reference in section 21.17 to “the issued shares of any class of the capital stock of the corporation or of any other corporation that is related to the corporation” shall be read as a reference to “the issued shares of any class, other than a specified class, of the capital stock of the corporation or of any other corporation that is related to the corporation and that has a significant direct or indirect interest in any issued shares of the capital stock of the corporation”,

i.1.  a corporation controlled by another corporation is, at a particular time, deemed not to own any shares of the capital stock of the other corporation if, at that time, the corporation does not have a direct or an indirect interest in any of the shares of the capital stock of the other corporation,

i.2.  section 21.18 is to be read without reference to its paragraph a in respect of any share of the capital stock of the subsidiary that the person would, but for this subparagraph, be deemed to own solely because the person has a right described in paragraph b of section 20 to acquire shares of the capital stock of a corporation that

(1)  is controlled by the subsidiary, and

(2)  does not have a direct or an indirect interest in any of the shares of the capital stock of the subsidiary, and

ii.  a corporation is deemed not to be a specified shareholder of itself; and

(d)  property that is distributed to the parent on the winding-up is deemed not to be acquired by a person if the person acquired the property before the acquisition of control referred to in subparagraph i of subparagraph d of the third paragraph of section 559 and the property is not owned by the person at any time after that acquisition of control.

1996, c. 39, s. 158; 1997, c. 3, s. 71; 2000, c. 5, s. 127; 2004, c. 8, s. 113; 2015, c. 24, s. 85.

560.1.2. For the purposes of subparagraph ii of subparagraph d of the third paragraph of section 559, property acquired by any person in substitution for particular property or properties distributed to the parent on the winding-up includes the following property but not the property described in the second paragraph:

(a)  property, other than specified property, owned by the person at a particular time after the acquisition of control referred to in subparagraph i of that subparagraph d more than 10% of the fair market value of which is, at the particular time, attributable to the particular property or properties; and

(b)  property owned by the person at a particular time after the acquisition of control referred to in subparagraph i of that subparagraph d the fair market value of which is, at the particular time, determinable primarily by reference to the fair market value of, or to any proceeds from a disposition of, the particular property or properties.

The property to which the first paragraph refers is

(a)  money;

(b)  property that was not owned by the person at a particular time after the acquisition of control referred to in subparagraph i of subparagraph d of the third paragraph of section 559;

(c)  property described in subparagraph a of the first paragraph if the only reason the property is described in that subparagraph is because a specified property described in any of subparagraphs a to d of the first paragraph of section 560.1.3 was received as consideration for the acquisition of a share of the capital stock of the subsidiary in the circumstances described in those subparagraphs a to d;

(d)  a share of the capital stock of the subsidiary or a debt owing by the subsidiary, where the share or debt was owned by the parent immediately before the winding-up; or

(e)  a share of the capital stock of a corporation or a debt owing by a corporation, where the fair market value of the share or debt was not, at any time after the beginning of the winding-up, wholly or partly attributable to property distributed to the parent on the winding-up.

2000, c. 5, s. 128; 2015, c. 24, s. 86.

560.1.2.0.1. For the purposes of subparagraph b of the first paragraph of section 560, where the particular capital property is an interest of a subsidiary in a partnership, the fair market value of the interest at the time the parent last acquired control of the subsidiary is deemed to be equal to the amount determined by the formula

A - B.

In the formula in the first paragraph,

(a)  A is the fair market value (determined without reference to this section) of the interest of the subsidiary in the partnership at the time the parent last acquired control of the subsidiary; and

(b)  B is the portion of the amount by which the fair market value (determined without reference to this section) of the interest of the subsidiary in the partnership at the time the parent last acquired control of the subsidiary exceeds its cost amount at that time as may reasonably be regarded as attributable at that time to the aggregate of all amounts each of which is

i.  in the case of a depreciable property held directly by the partnership or held indirectly by the partnership through one or more other partnerships, the amount by which the fair market value (determined without reference to liabilities) of the property exceeds its cost amount,

ii.  in the case of a Canadian resource property or a foreign resource property held directly by the partnership or held indirectly by the partnership through one or more other partnerships, the fair market value (determined without reference to liabilities) of the property, or

iii.  in the case of a property that is not a capital property, a Canadian resource property or a foreign resource property and that is held directly by the partnership or held indirectly through one or more other partnerships, the amount by which the fair market value (determined without reference to liabilities) of the property exceeds its cost amount.

For the purposes of subparagraph a of the second paragraph, the fair market value of an interest of the subsidiary in a particular partnership at the time the parent last acquired control of the subsidiary is deemed not to include the amount that is the aggregate of all amounts each of which is equal to the fair market value of a property that would otherwise be included in computing the fair market value of the interest, if

(a)  as part of the transaction or event or series of transactions or events in which control of the subsidiary is last acquired by the parent and on or before the acquisition of control,

i.  the subsidiary disposes of the property to the particular partnership or any other partnership and the second paragraph of section 614 applies in respect of the disposition, or

ii.  where the property is an interest in a partnership, the subsidiary acquires the interest in the particular partnership or any other partnership from a person or partnership with whom the subsidiary does not deal at arm’s length (otherwise than because of a right referred to in paragraph b of section 20) and Divisions I to IV of Chapter IV apply in respect of the acquisition; and

(b)  at the time of the acquisition of control, the particular partnership holds directly, or indirectly through one or more other partnerships, property described in any of subparagraphs i to iii of subparagraph b of the second paragraph.

2015, c. 21, s. 186.

560.1.2.1. For the purposes of subparagraph i of paragraph c of section 560.1.1 and this section, a specified class of the capital stock of a corporation is a class of shares of the capital stock of the corporation where

(a)  the paid-up capital in respect of the class was not, at any time, less than the fair market value of the consideration for which the shares of that class then outstanding were issued;

(b)  the shares are non-voting in respect of the election of the board of directors, except in the event of a failure or default under the terms or conditions of the shares;

(c)  under neither the terms and conditions of the shares nor any agreement in respect of the shares are the shares convertible into or exchangeable for shares other than shares of a specified class of the capital stock of the corporation; and

(d)  under neither the terms and conditions of the shares nor any agreement in respect of the shares is any holder of the shares entitled to receive on the redemption, cancellation or acquisition of the shares by the corporation or by any person with whom the corporation does not deal at arm’s length an amount, excluding any premium for early redemption, greater than the aggregate of the fair market value of the consideration for which the shares were issued and the amount of any unpaid dividends on the shares.

2004, c. 8, s. 114.

560.1.3. For the purposes of section 560.1.2, a specified property is

(a)  a share of the capital stock of the parent that was received as consideration for the acquisition of a share of the capital stock of the subsidiary by the parent or by a corporation that was a specified subsidiary corporation of the parent immediately before the acquisition, or issued for consideration that consists solely of money;

(b)  an indebtedness that was issued by the parent as consideration for the acquisition of a share of the capital stock of the subsidiary by the parent, or for consideration that consists solely of money;

(c)  a share of the capital stock of a taxable Canadian corporation that was received as consideration for the acquisition of a share of the capital stock of the subsidiary by the taxable Canadian corporation or by the parent where the parent was a specified subsidiary corporation of the taxable Canadian corporation immediately before the acquisition;

(d)  an indebtedness of a taxable Canadian corporation that was issued by it as consideration for the acquisition of a share of the capital stock of the subsidiary by the taxable Canadian corporation or by the parent where the parent was a specified subsidiary corporation of the taxable Canadian corporation immediately before the acquisition; or

(e)  where the subsidiary was formed on the amalgamation of two or more particular corporations at least one of which was a subsidiary wholly-owned corporation of the parent,

i.  a share of the capital stock of the subsidiary that was issued on the amalgamation and that is, before the beginning of the winding-up, redeemed, acquired or cancelled by the subsidiary for consideration that consists solely of money or shares of the capital stock of the parent, or of any combination of the two, or exchanged for shares of the capital stock of the parent, or

ii.  a share of the capital stock of the parent issued on the amalgamation in exchange for a share of the capital stock of one of the particular corporations.

For the purposes of the first paragraph, the following rules apply:

(a)  a corporation is a specified subsidiary corporation of another corporation, at a particular time, where the other corporation holds, at that time, shares of the corporation

i.  that give the shareholder 90% or more of the votes that could be cast under all circumstances at an annual meeting of shareholders of the corporation, and

ii.  having a fair market value of 90% or more of the fair market value of all the issued shares of the capital stock of the corporation; and

(b)  a reference to a share of the capital stock of a corporation includes a right to acquire a share of the capital stock of the corporation.

2000, c. 5, s. 128; 2015, c. 24, s. 87.

560.1.4. For the purposes of section 560.1.2 and notwithstanding section 21.4.2, where control of a corporation is acquired by way of articles of arrangement relating to the corporation, that control is deemed to have been acquired at the end of the day on which the arrangement becomes effective.

2000, c. 5, s. 128.

560.2. For the purposes of this paragraph and sections 559 and 560, the time at which a particular person or group of persons last acquired control of a subsidiary is, where control of the subsidiary was acquired from another person or group of persons, in this paragraph referred to as the “vendor”, with whom the particular person or group of persons was not dealing at arm’s length otherwise than solely because of a right referred to in paragraph b of section 20, deemed to be the earlier of

(a)  the time at which the vendor last acquired control, within the meaning of subparagraph b of the first paragraph of section 739, with the necessary modifications, of the subsidiary; and

(b)  the time at which the vendor is deemed for the purposes of this paragraph to have last acquired control of the subsidiary.

For the purposes of the first paragraph and sections 559 and 560, where control of a corporation is last acquired by a particular person or group of persons because of an acquisition of shares of the capital stock of the corporation as a consequence of the death of an individual, the particular person or group of persons is deemed to have last acquired control of the corporation immediately after the death from a person who dealt at arm’s length with the particular person or group of persons.

For the purposes of the first and second paragraphs and sections 559, 560 and 560.1.1 to 560.1.4, the following rules apply:

(a)  subject to subparagraph c, control of any corporation is deemed not to have been acquired by reason of an amalgamation;

(b)  any corporation formed as a result of an amalgamation is deemed to be the same corporation as, and a continuation of, each predecessor corporation; and

(c)  in the case of a merger contemplated in section 555.1, where the parent did not have control of a predecessor corporation prior to the merger, the parent is deemed to have acquired control immediately before the merger.

1980, c. 13, s. 58; 1984, c. 15, s. 119; 1985, c. 25, s. 99; 1993, c. 16, s. 223; 1994, c. 22, s. 205; 1995, c. 49, s. 145; 1995, c. 63, s. 261; 1997, c. 3, s. 71; 2000, c. 5, s. 129; 2004, c. 8, s. 115; 2012, c. 8, s. 56.

560.2.1. If a corporation amends, in accordance with paragraph c of subsection 1.8 of section 88 of the Income Tax Act (R.S.C. 1985, c. 1, (5th Suppl.)), a designated amount (in this section referred to as the “initial designation”) referred to in subparagraph i of subparagraph a of the first paragraph of section 560 in respect of a share of the capital stock of a foreign affiliate of the corporation, or an interest in a partnership that, in accordance with paragraph c of section 600, owns a share of the capital stock of a foreign affiliate of the corporation, and subsection 1.9 of that section 88 applies in respect of the initial designation, the amended designation is deemed to have been made on the day on which the initial designation was made and the initial designation is deemed not to have been made.

2015, c. 36, s. 24.

560.3. (Repealed).

562. The subsidiary may, in computing its income for the taxation year during which its property was distributed to, and its obligations were assumed by, the parent on its winding-up, claim any reserve that would have been allowed to it for the year under this Part if its property had not been transferred to, or its obligations had not been assumed by, the parent on the winding-up.

(a)  the taxpayer’s equity percentage is not less than 1%, and

(b)  the total of the equity percentages in the corporation of the taxpayer and of each person related to the taxpayer, where each such equity percentage is determined as if the determinations, in applying the rule provided in subparagraph b of the first paragraph of section 573, were made without reference to the equity percentage of any person in the taxpayer or in any person related to the taxpayer, is not less than 10%.

However, no corporation may be a foreign affiliate of a non-resident-owned investment corporation.

1972, c. 23, s. 442; 1973, c. 17, s. 66; 1975, c. 22, s. 149; 1996, c. 39, s. 161; 1997, c. 3, s. 71.

572. In this Title, a controlled foreign affiliate, at any time, of a taxpayer resident in Canada means a foreign affiliate of the taxpayer that

(a)  is, at that time, controlled by the taxpayer; or

(b)  would, at that time, be controlled by the taxpayer if the taxpayer owned all of the following shares of the capital stock of the foreign affiliate:

i.  the shares that are owned at that time by the taxpayer,

ii.  the shares that are owned at that time by any person who does not deal at arm’s length with the taxpayer,

iii.  the shares that are owned at that time by any person (in this section referred to as a “relevant Canadian shareholder”), in any set of persons not exceeding four (which set of persons is to be determined without reference to the existence of or the absence of any relationship, connection or action in concert between those persons), who

(1)  are resident in Canada,

(2)  are not the taxpayer or a person described in subparagraph ii, and

(3)  own, at that time, shares of the capital stock of the foreign affiliate, and

iv.  the shares that are owned at that time by any person who does not deal at arm’s length with any relevant Canadian shareholder.

1975, c. 22, s. 151; 1990, c. 59, s. 208; 1993, c. 16, s. 230; 2010, c. 25, s. 43.

572.1. For the purposes of this section and paragraph b of section 572, the following rules apply:

(a)  the shares of the capital stock of a corporation that are at any time owned by, or that are deemed by this section to be at any time owned by, another corporation are deemed to be, at that time, owned by, or property of, each shareholder of the other corporation in the proportion that the fair market value at that time of the shares of the capital stock of the other corporation that, at that time, are owned by, or are property of, the shareholder is of the fair market value at that time of all the issued and outstanding shares of the capital stock of the other corporation;

(b)  the shares of the capital stock of a corporation that are, or are deemed by this section to be, at any time, property of a partnership, are deemed to be, at that time, owned by, or property of, each member of the partnership in the proportion that the fair market value at that time of the member’s interest in the partnership is of the fair market value at that time of all interests in the partnership;

(c)  the shares of the capital stock of a corporation that are at any time owned by, or that are deemed by this section to be at any time owned by, a non-discretionary trust (within the meaning of section 127.1) other than an exempt trust are deemed to be, at that time, owned by, or property of, each beneficiary of the trust in the proportion that the fair market value at that time of the beneficiary’s beneficial interest in the trust is of the fair market value at that time of all beneficial interests in the trust; and

(d)  all of the shares of the capital stock of a corporation that are at any time owned by, or that are deemed by this section to be at any time owned by, a particular trust (other than a non-discretionary trust, within the meaning of section 127.1, or an exempt trust) are deemed to be, at that time, owned by, or property of,

i.  each beneficiary of the particular trust at that time, and

ii.  each settlor (within the meaning of section 127.1) in respect of the particular trust at that time.

2010, c. 25, s. 44.

572.2. In applying the assumption in paragraph b of section 572 in respect of a taxpayer resident in Canada to determine whether a foreign affiliate of the taxpayer is at any time a controlled foreign affiliate of the taxpayer, nothing in that paragraph or in section 572.1 is to be read or construed as requiring a right in a share of the capital stock of the foreign affiliate of the taxpayer owned at that time by the taxpayer to be taken into account more than once.

2010, c. 25, s. 44; 2020, c. 16, s. 80.

572.2.1. For the purposes of sections 572.2.2 and 572.2.3, a particular property is a tracking interest in respect of a person or partnership (in this section referred to as the “tracked entity”) if

(a)  all or part of the fair market value of the particular property—or of any payment or right to receive an amount in respect of the particular property—can reasonably be considered to be determined, directly or indirectly, by reference to one or more of the following criteria in respect of property or activities of the tracked entity (in this section and section 572.2.2 referred to as the “tracked property and activities”):

i.  the fair market value of property of the tracked entity,

ii.  any revenue, income or cash flow from property or activities of the tracked entity,

iii.  any profits or gains from the disposition of property of the tracked entity, and

iv.  any similar criteria applicable to property or activities of the tracked entity; and

(b)  the tracked property and activities in respect of the particular property represent less than all of the property and activities of the tracked entity.

2021, c. 14, s. 46.

572.2.2. The rules set out in the second paragraph apply in respect of a particular foreign affiliate of a taxpayer for a taxation year of the foreign affiliate, for the purpose of determining an amount to be included or deducted, in respect of the year, by the taxpayer in computing the taxpayer’s income under section 580 or 583, respectively, if, at any time in the year,

(a)  the taxpayer holds a property that is a tracking interest in respect of the particular foreign affiliate; and

(b)  shares of a class of the capital stock of the particular foreign affiliate (in the second paragraph referred to as a “tracking class”) the fair market value of which can reasonably be considered to be determined by reference to the tracked property and activities in respect of the tracking interest are held by the taxpayer or a foreign affiliate of the taxpayer.

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

(a)  the tracked property and activities of the particular foreign affiliate are deemed to be property and activities of a corporation not resident in Canada that is separate from the particular foreign affiliate and not to be property or activities of the particular foreign affiliate;

(b)  any income, losses or gains for the year in respect of the property and activities described in subparagraph a are deemed to be income, losses or gains of the separate corporation and not of the particular foreign affiliate;

(c)  all rights and obligations of the particular foreign affiliate in respect of the property and activities described in subparagraph a are deemed to be rights and obligations of the separate corporation and not of the particular foreign affiliate;

(d)  the separate corporation is deemed to have, at the end of the year, 100 issued and outstanding shares of a single class of its capital stock which have full voting rights under all circumstances;

(e)  each shareholder of the particular foreign affiliate is deemed to own, at the end of the year, that number of shares of the separate corporation that is equal to the product obtained by multiplying 100 by the amount that would be the aggregate participating percentage (as defined in section 580.1) of that shareholder in respect of the particular foreign affiliate for the year if

i.  the particular foreign affiliate were a controlled foreign affiliate of that shareholder at the end of the year,

ii.  the only shares of the capital stock of the particular foreign affiliate issued and outstanding at the end of the year were shares of tracking classes in respect of the tracked property and activities, and

iii.  the only income, losses or gains of the particular foreign affiliate for the year were those referred to in subparagraph b; and

(f)  any amount included or deducted by the taxpayer in computing the taxpayer’s income under section 580 or 583, respectively, in respect of shares of the separate corporation is deemed to be an amount so included or deducted by the taxpayer in respect of shares of tracking classes held by the taxpayer or a foreign affiliate of the taxpayer, as the case may be.

2021, c. 14, s. 46.

572.2.3. Where section 572.2.2 does not apply in respect of a foreign affiliate of a taxpayer for a taxation year of the affiliate, the affiliate is deemed to be a controlled foreign affiliate of the taxpayer throughout the year if, at a particular time in the year, a tracking interest in respect of the foreign affiliate or a partnership of which the foreign affiliate is a member is held by

(a)  the taxpayer; or

(b)  a person or partnership (in this paragraph referred to as a “holder”), if

i.  the holder does not deal at arm’s length with the taxpayer at the particular time,

ii.  where either the taxpayer or the holder is a partnership and the other party is not, any member of the partnership does not deal at arm’s length with the other party at the particular time, or

iii.  where both the taxpayer and the holder are partnerships, the taxpayer or any member of the taxpayer does not deal at arm’s length with the holder or any member of the holder at the particular time.

2021, c. 14, s. 46.

572.3. In this Title,

“entity” includes an association, a corporation, a fund, a natural person, a joint venture, an organization, a partnership, a syndicate or a trust;

“exempt trust”, at a particular time in respect of a taxpayer resident in Canada, means a trust that, at that time, is a trust under which the interest of each beneficiary under the trust is, at all times that the interest exists during the trust’s taxation year that includes the particular time, a specified fixed interest of the beneficiary in the trust, if at the particular time

(a)  the trust is an eligible trust;

(b)  there are at least 150 beneficiaries each of whom holds a specified fixed interest, in the trust, that has a fair market value of at least $500; and

(c)  the total of all amounts each of which is the fair market value of an interest as a beneficiary under the trust held by a specified purchaser in respect of the taxpayer is not more than 10% of the total fair market value of all interests as a beneficiary under the trust;

“specified fixed interest”, at any time, of an entity in a trust, means an interest of the entity as a beneficiary under the trust if

(a)  the interest includes, at that time, rights of the entity as a beneficiary under the trust to receive, at or after that time and directly from the trust, all or part of the income and capital of the trust;

(b)  the interest was issued by the trust, at or before that time, to an entity, in exchange for consideration and the fair market value, at the time at which the interest was issued, of that consideration was equal to the fair market value, at the time at which it was issued, of the interest;

(c)  the only manner in which any part of the interest may cease to be the entity’s is by way of a disposition (determined without reference to section 7.2 and subparagraph e of the second paragraph of section 248) by the entity of that part; and

(d)  no amount of the income or capital of the trust that an entity may receive directly from the trust at any time as a beneficiary under the trust depends on the exercise by an entity of, or the failure by an entity to exercise, a discretionary power;

(b)  an entity resident in Canada with which the taxpayer does not deal at arm’s length;

2010, c. 25, s. 44.

573. For the purposes of this Title, the equity percentage of a taxpayer at any time in a particular corporation is the aggregate of his direct and indirect equity percentages in the corporation at that time, computed according to the following rules:

(a)  his direct equity percentage at that time is that percentage which is not less than any other percentage representing the proportion that the number of shares of each class of the capital stock of the corporation then owned by him is of the total number of issued shares of that class at the same time;

(b)  his indirect equity percentage at that time is the aggregate of all percentages each of which is the product then obtained when the taxpayer’s equity percentage in any corporation is multiplied by that corporation’s direct equity percentage in the particular corporation.

However, for the purposes of section 574, subparagraph b of the first paragraph must read as if the expression “any corporation” were replaced by the expression “any corporation not resident in Canada”.

574. For the purposes of this Title, the participating percentage of a share owned by a taxpayer of the capital stock of a corporation that, at the end of its taxation year, is a controlled foreign affiliate of the taxpayer, is equal to

(a)  the percentage that would be the taxpayer’s equity percentage in the affiliate at the end of that year on the assumption that the taxpayer owns no share other than that share, if

i.  the affiliate and each other corporation that is relevant to the determination of the taxpayer’s equity percentage in the affiliate have, at that time, only one class of issued shares, and

ii.  no foreign affiliate (in this subparagraph referred to as the “upper-tier affiliate”) of the taxpayer that is relevant to the determination of the taxpayer’s participating percentage in the affiliate has, at that time, a participating percentage in a foreign affiliate of the taxpayer that has a participating percentage in the upper-tier affiliate; and

(b)  in any other case, the percentage determined in prescribed manner.

However, the participating percentage of such a share is nil where the foreign accrual property income of the affiliate for the year, within the meaning of section 579, does not exceed $5,000.

1975, c. 22, s. 153; 1994, c. 22, s. 208; 1997, c. 3, s. 71; 2015, c. 21, s. 189.

1975, c. 22, s. 153.

576. For the purposes of this Title, an income bond or income debenture issued by a corporation not resident in Canada is deemed a share of the capital stock of such corporation unless the interest or other similar amount paid periodically by such corporation on the bond or debenture was, under the laws of the country in which the corporation was resident, deductible in computing the amount on which the corporation was liable to pay income or profits tax for the year imposed by the government of that country.

1972, c. 23, s. 446; 1975, c. 22, s. 155; 1997, c. 3, s. 71.

577. A taxpayer must include in computing his income any amount he receives in the year as a dividend on any share he owns in the capital stock of a corporation not resident in Canada.

1972, c. 23, s. 447; 1997, c. 3, s. 71.

577.1. Notwithstanding section 577, a taxpayer who, immediately before a prescribed reorganization, held a common share of the capital stock of a prescribed corporation, referred to as a “share of the corporation” in the second paragraph, and who elects that the rules in the second paragraph apply for the purposes of this Part is not required to include, in computing his income for the taxation year 1984, the amount which, under section 577 and but for this section, should have been included, as a consequence of the reorganization, in respect of the value of a share of the capital stock of a prescribed regional holding company that he received at the time of the reorganization, referred to as a “distributed share” in the second paragraph.

Except where section 113 applies, if a person or partnership receives at any time a loan from, or becomes at that time indebted to, a creditor that is at that time a foreign affiliate of a taxpayer resident in Canada, or a partnership of which such an affiliate is a member, (in subparagraph i of paragraph d of the definition of “specified debtor” in section 576.2 referred to respectively as “creditor affiliate” and “creditor partnership”), and the person or partnership is at that time a specified debtor in respect of the taxpayer, the specified amount in respect of the loan or indebtedness is to be included in computing the income of the taxpayer for the taxpayer’s taxation year that includes that time.

2015, c. 21, s. 191.

577.5.1. For the purposes of sections 262.0.1, 262.0.2, 576.2, 577.5 and 577.6 to 577.11, the rules set out in the second paragraph apply at a particular time where

(a)  immediately before the particular time, a person or partnership (in this section referred to as the “original debtor”) owes an amount in respect of a loan or indebtedness (in this section referred to as the “pre-transaction loan”) to another person or partnership (in this section referred to as the “original creditor”);

(b)  the pre-transaction loan was, at the time it was made or entered into, a loan or indebtedness described in section 577.5; and

(c)  in the course of an amalgamation, a merger, a winding-up or a liquidation and dissolution, any of the following facts occurs:

i.  the amount owing in respect of the pre-transaction loan becomes owing at the particular time by another person or partnership (the amount owing after the particular time and the other person or partnership being in the second paragraph referred to as the “post-transaction loan payable” and the “new debtor”, respectively),

ii.  the amount owing in respect of the pre-transaction loan becomes owing at the particular time to another person or partnership (the amount owing after the particular time and the other person or partnership being in the second paragraph referred to as the “post-transaction loan receivable” and the “new creditor”, respectively), or

iii.  the taxpayer in respect of which the original debtor was a specified debtor at the time referred to in subparagraph b

(1)  ceases to exist, or

(2)  merges with one or more corporations to form one corporate entity (in the second paragraph referred to as the “new corporation”).

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

(a)  if the fact described in subparagraph i of subparagraph c of the first paragraph occurred,

i.  the post-transaction loan payable is deemed to be the same loan or indebtedness as the pre-transaction loan, and

ii.  the new debtor is deemed to be the same debtor as, and a continuation of, the original debtor;

(b)  if the fact described in subparagraph ii of subparagraph c of the first paragraph occurred,

i.  the post-transaction loan receivable is deemed to be the same loan or indebtedness as the pre-transaction loan, and

ii.  the new creditor is deemed to be the same creditor as, and a continuation of, the original creditor;

(c)  if the fact described in subparagraph 1 of subparagraph iii of subparagraph c of the first paragraph occurred,

i.  subject to subparagraph ii, each entity that held an interest in the taxpayer described in that subparagraph iii immediately before the winding-up (in this subparagraph c referred to as a “successor entity”) is deemed to be the same entity as, and a continuation of, the taxpayer, and

ii.  for the purpose of applying section 577.10 and subparagraph a of the second paragraph of section 577.11, an amount, in respect of a loan or indebtedness, equal to whichever of the following amounts is applicable is deemed to have been included under section 577.5 in computing the income of each successor entity:

(1)  if the taxpayer is a partnership, the amount that may reasonably be considered to be the successor entity’s share of the specified amount that was required to be included in computing the taxpayer’s income under section 577.5 in respect of the loan or indebtedness, such share being determined in a manner consistent with the determination of the successor entity’s share of the income of the partnership under section 600 for the taxpayer’s final fiscal period, and

(2)  in any other case, the portion of the specified amount included in computing the taxpayer’s income under section 577.5, in respect of the loan or indebtedness, represented by the proportion that the fair market value of the successor entity’s interest in the taxpayer, immediately before the distribution of the taxpayer’s assets on the winding-up, is of the fair market value of all interests in the taxpayer at that time; and

(d)  if the fact described in subparagraph 2 of subparagraph iii of subparagraph c of the first paragraph occurred, the new corporation is deemed to be the same corporation as, and a continuation of, the taxpayer.

2020, c. 16, s. 82.

577.6. For the purposes of this section and sections 262.0.1, 262.0.2, 576.2, 577.5 and 577.7 to 577.11, if at any time a person or partnership (in this section referred to as the “intermediate lender”) makes a loan to another person or partnership (in this section referred to as the “intended borrower”) because the intermediate lender received a loan from another person or partnership (in this section referred to as the “initial lender”), the following rules apply:

(a)  the loan made by the intermediate lender to the intended borrower is deemed, at that time, to have been made by the initial lender to the intended borrower under the same terms and conditions and at the same time as it was made by the intermediate lender to the extent of the lesser of the amount of the loan made by the initial lender to the intermediate lender and the amount of the loan made by the intermediate lender to the intended borrower; and

(b)  the loan made by the initial lender to the intermediate lender and the loan made by the intermediate lender to the intended borrower are deemed not to have been made to the extent of the amount of the loan deemed to have been made under paragraph a.

2015, c. 21, s. 191; 2020, c. 16, s. 83.

577.7. Section 577.5 does not apply in respect of

(b)  indebtedness that arose in the ordinary course of the business of the creditor or a loan made in the ordinary course of the creditor’s ordinary business of lending money if, at the time the indebtedness arose or the loan was made, bona fide arrangements were made for repayment of the indebtedness or loan within a reasonable time;

(c)  a loan that was made, or indebtedness that arose, in the ordinary course of carrying on a life insurance business outside Canada if

i.  the loan or indebtedness is owed by the taxpayer or by a subsidiary wholly-owned corporation of the taxpayer,

ii.  the taxpayer, or the subsidiary wholly-owned corporation, as the case may be, is a life insurance corporation resident in Canada,

iii.  the loan or indebtedness directly relates to a business of the taxpayer, or of the subsidiary wholly-owned corporation, that is carried on outside Canada, and

iv.  the interest on the loan or indebtedness is included in computing the active business income of the creditor, or if the creditor is a partnership, a member of the partnership, under clause A of subparagraph ii of paragraph a of subsection 2 of section 95 of the Income Tax Act (R.S.C. 1985, c. 1, (5th Suppl.)), or would be so included if it were otherwise income from property within the meaning of subsection 1 of that section 95; and

(d)  an upstream deposit owing to an eligible bank affiliate, subject to section 577.7.1.

(a)  the affiliate is deemed to make a loan to the taxpayer immediately before the end of the particular year equal to the loan that it is deemed to make to the taxpayer, at that time, under paragraph a of subsection 8.1 of section 90 of the Income Tax Act (R.S.C. 1985, c. 1 (5th Suppl.)); and

(b)  the taxpayer is deemed to repay immediately before the end of the particular year—in an amount that the taxpayer is deemed to pay, at that time, under paragraph b of subsection 8.1 of section 90 of the Income Tax Act and in the order in which they arose—loans made by the affiliate under paragraph a in a prior taxation year and not previously repaid, and the repayment is deemed to not be part of a series of loans or other transactions and repayments.

2017, c. 1, s. 141.

577.8. A corporation resident in Canada may deduct in computing its income for a taxation year, in respect of a specified amount included in that computation under section 577.5 or in respect of an amount so included under section 577.9 in relation to a particular loan or indebtedness, a particular amount that is equal to the amount that the corporation deducts for the year in relation to the particular loan or indebtedness under subsection 9 of section 90 of the Income Tax Act (R.S.C. 1985, c. 1, (5th Suppl.)).

2015, c. 21, s. 191.

577.9. A corporation resident in Canada is required in computing its income for a particular taxation year to include any amount deducted by the corporation under section 577.8 in computing its income for the taxation year preceding the particular year.

2015, c. 21, s. 191.

577.10. A corporation may not claim a deduction for a taxation year under section 577.8 in respect of the same portion of a specified amount in respect of a loan or indebtedness for which a deduction is claimed for that year or a preceding taxation year by the corporation, or by the partnership of which the corporation is a member, under section 577.11.

2015, c. 21, s. 191.

577.11. In computing a taxpayer’s income for a particular taxation year, there may be deducted the amount determined by the formula

CHAPTER III FOREIGN ACCRUAL PROPERTY INCOME

1975, c. 22, s. 158.

579. In this Title, the foreign accrual property income of a foreign affiliate of a taxpayer for a taxation year of such affiliate means an amount equal to that which is computed as foreign accrual property income in respect of the affiliate for the year under the Income Tax Act (R.S.C. 1985, c. 1 (5th Suppl.)) and the Income Tax Regulations made under that Act.

1975, c. 22, s. 158; 2013, c. 10, s. 35.

580. A taxpayer resident in Canada, in computing his income for a taxation year, must include as income from each share owned by him of the capital stock of a controlled foreign affiliate of the taxpayer, the percentage of the foreign accrual property income of any controlled foreign affiliate of the taxpayer, for each taxation year of the affiliate ending in the taxation year of the taxpayer, equal to that share’s participating percentage in respect of the affiliate, determined at the end of each such taxation year of the affiliate.

1975, c. 22, s. 158.

580.1. For the purposes of this section and sections 580.2 and 580.3,

“aggregate participating percentage”, of a taxpayer in respect of a foreign affiliate of the taxpayer for a taxation year of the foreign affiliate, means the aggregate of all amounts, each of which is the participating percentage, in respect of the foreign affiliate, of a share of the capital stock of a corporation that is owned by the taxpayer at the end of the taxation year;

“connected partnership”, in respect of a particular taxpayer, means a partnership if, at or immediately after the particular time at which section 580.3 applies in respect of a foreign affiliate of the particular taxpayer,

(a)  the particular taxpayer or a connected person in respect of the particular taxpayer is, directly or indirectly through one or more other partnerships, a member of the partnership; or

(b)  where paragraph a does not apply,

i.  the foreign affiliate is a foreign affiliate of the partnership at the particular time, and

ii.  the aggregate participating percentage of the partnership in respect of the foreign affiliate for the foreign affiliate’s ordinary taxation year may reasonably be considered to have increased as a result of the triggering event that gave rise to the application of section 580.3;

“connected person”, in respect of a particular taxpayer, means a person that—at or immediately after the particular time at which section 580.3 applies in respect of a foreign affiliate of the particular taxpayer—is resident in Canada and

(a)  does not deal at arm’s length with the particular taxpayer; or

(b)  deals at arm’s length with the particular taxpayer, if

i.  the foreign affiliate is a foreign affiliate of the person at the particular time, and

ii.  the aggregate participating percentage of the person in respect of the foreign affiliate for the foreign affiliate’s ordinary taxation year may reasonably be considered to have increased as a result of the triggering event that gave rise to the application of section 580.3;

“excluded acquisition or disposition”, in respect of a taxation year of a foreign affiliate of a taxpayer, means an acquisition or disposition of an equity interest in a corporation, partnership or trust that can reasonably be considered to result in a change in the aggregate participating percentage of the taxpayer in respect of the foreign affiliate for the taxation year of the foreign affiliate, where

(a)  the change in the aggregate participating percentage of the taxpayer is less than 1%; and

(b)  it cannot reasonably be considered that one of the main reasons the acquisition or disposition occurs as a separate acquisition or disposition from one or more other acquisitions or dispositions is to avoid the application of section 580.3;

“triggering event” means

(a)  an acquisition or disposition of an equity interest in a corporation, partnership or trust;

(b)  a change in the terms or conditions of a share of the capital stock of a corporation or a right as a member of a partnership or as a beneficiary under a trust; or

580.2. For the purposes of this chapter and Chapter IV, the rules set out in section 580.3 apply at a particular time in respect of a particular foreign affiliate of a taxpayer resident in Canada if

(a)  an amount would be included under section 580 in computing the taxpayer’s income, in respect of a share of the particular foreign affiliate or another foreign affiliate of the taxpayer that has an equity percentage in the particular foreign affiliate, for the taxation year of the particular foreign affiliate (determined without reference to section 580.3) that includes the particular time (in this section and section 580.1 referred to as the “ordinary taxation year” of the particular foreign affiliate), if the ordinary taxation year of the particular foreign affiliate had ended at the particular time;

(b)  immediately after the particular time, there is

i.  an acquisition of control of the taxpayer, or

ii.  a triggering event that can reasonably be considered to result in a change in the aggregate participating percentage of the taxpayer in respect of the particular foreign affiliate for the ordinary taxation year of the particular foreign affiliate;

(c)  where subparagraph i of subparagraph b applies, the condition of paragraph c of subsection 1.1 of section 91 of the Income Tax Act (R.S.C. 1985, c. 1 (5th Suppl.)) is met in respect of the particular foreign affiliate; and

(d)  where subparagraph ii of subparagraph b applies, none of the following is the case:

i.  the change in the aggregate participating percentage referred to in subparagraph ii of subparagraph b is a decrease and is equal to the total of all amounts each of which is the increase—that can reasonably be considered to result from the triggering event—in the aggregate participating percentage of another taxpayer, in respect of the particular foreign affiliate for the ordinary taxation year of the particular foreign affiliate, if the other taxpayer

(1)  is a person resident in Canada, other than a person that is—or a trust, any of the beneficiaries under which is—exempt from tax under this Part, and

(2)  is a person related to the taxpayer at the particular time, if the triggering event results from a winding-up of the taxpayer referred to in section 556, or immediately after the particular time, in any other case,

ii.  the triggering event is on an amalgamation within the meaning of subsection 1 of section 544,

iii.  the triggering event is an excluded acquisition or disposition, in respect of the ordinary taxation year of the particular foreign affiliate, and

iv.  if one or more triggering events—all of which are described in subparagraph ii of subparagraph b and in respect of which none of the conditions of subparagraphs i to iii are met—occur in the ordinary taxation year of the particular foreign affiliate, the percentage determined by the following formula is not greater than 5%:

A – B.

In the formula in subparagraph iv of subparagraph d of the first paragraph,

(a)  A is the total of all amounts each of which is the decrease—which can reasonably be considered to result from a triggering event described in subparagraph ii of subparagraph b of the first paragraph (other than a triggering event that meets the conditions of subparagraph i or ii of subparagraph d of the first paragraph)—in the aggregate participating percentage of the taxpayer in respect of the particular foreign affiliate for the ordinary taxation year of the particular foreign affiliate; and

(b)  B is the total of all amounts each of which is the increase—which can reasonably be considered to result from a triggering event described in subparagraph ii of subparagraph b of the first paragraph (other than a triggering event that meets the conditions of subparagraph i or ii of subparagraph d of the first paragraph)—in the aggregate participating percentage of the taxpayer in respect of the particular foreign affiliate for the ordinary taxation year of the particular foreign affiliate.

2021, c. 14, s. 47.

580.3. The rules to which section 580.2 refers in respect of a foreign affiliate of a particular taxpayer resident in Canada are as follows:

(a)  in respect of the particular taxpayer and each connected person, or connected partnership, in respect of the particular taxpayer, the foreign affiliate’s taxation year that would, in the absence of this section, have included the particular time referred to in section 580.2 is deemed to end at the time (in this chapter referred to as the “stub-period end time”) that is immediately before the particular time; and

(b)  where the foreign affiliate is, immediately after the particular time referred to in section 580.2, a foreign affiliate of the particular taxpayer or a connected person, or connected partnership, in respect of the particular taxpayer, the foreign affiliate’s taxation year that follows the stub-period end time is deemed, in respect of the particular taxpayer or the connected person or connected partnership, as the case may be, to begin immediately after the particular time.

2021, c. 14, s. 47.

580.4. Where the conditions of section 580.2 are not met at a particular time in respect of a particular foreign affiliate of a taxpayer resident in Canada, section 580.3 applies in respect of the particular foreign affiliate at that time if the taxpayer and all specified corporations have made a valid election under paragraph c of subsection 1.4 of section 91 of the Income Tax Act (R.S.C. 1985, c. 1 (5th Suppl.)) to have subsection 1.2 of that section 91 apply in respect of the disposition that is referred to in paragraph b of subsection 1.4 of that section 91 and that occurs immediately after the particular time.

For the purposes of the first paragraph, a specified corporation is a corporation that at or immediately after the particular time meets the following conditions:

(a)  the corporation is resident in Canada;

(b)  the corporation does not deal at arm’s length with the taxpayer; and

(c)  the particular foreign affiliate is a foreign affiliate of the corporation, or of a partnership of which the corporation is, directly or indirectly through one or more other partnerships, a member.

Chapter V.2 of Title II of Book I applies in relation to an election made under paragraph c of subsection 1.4 of section 91 of the Income Tax Act.

2021, c. 14, s. 47.

581. Where the Minister is of opinion that the inclusion of an amount in computing the income of a taxpayer for a taxation year by virtue of sections 580 and 582 imposes undue hardship on the taxpayer by reason of monetary or exchange restrictions of a country other than Canada, the taxpayer may in computing such income deduct in that regard such amount as a reserve as the Minister deems reasonable.

1975, c. 22, s. 158; 1997, c. 14, s. 90.

582. A taxpayer must include in computing his income for a taxation year the amount that he deducted as a reserve by virtue of section 581 for the preceding taxation year.

1975, c. 22, s. 158; 1997, c. 14, s. 91.

583. A taxpayer who has included an amount under section 580 in respect of a share of a controlled foreign affiliate (in this section referred to as the “particular foreign affiliate”) in computing the taxpayer’s income for a taxation year or for one of the five preceding taxation years may deduct in so computing for the year the lesser of

(a)  the product obtained by multiplying the taxpayer’s prescribed tax factor for the year by the aggregate—to the extent that the aggregate was not deductible under this section for a preceding year—of any amount prescribed in respect of the particular foreign affiliate or a shareholder affiliate that is attributable to the amount and any income or profits tax reasonably attributable to the amount that is paid by

i.  the particular foreign affiliate,

ii.  the shareholder affiliate of the taxpayer, or

iii.  another foreign affiliate of the taxpayer in respect of a dividend received, directly or indirectly, from the particular foreign affiliate, if that other foreign affiliate has an equity percentage in the particular foreign affiliate; and

(b)  the amount by which that amount exceeds the aggregate of the amounts deductible under this section in respect of the share for the five preceding taxation years.

For the purposes of the first paragraph, a shareholder affiliate of the taxpayer means a foreign affiliate of the taxpayer, other than the particular foreign affiliate, where

(a)  it has an equity percentage in the particular foreign affiliate; and

(b)  the income or profits tax is paid by it to a country other than Canada and it, and not the particular foreign affiliate, is liable for that tax under the laws of that country.

584. A taxpayer resident in Canada who in a taxation year has received a dividend on a share of the capital stock of a corporation that was at any time a controlled foreign affiliate of the taxpayer, may deduct in computing his income for the year, in respect of such portion of the dividend as is prescribed under section 746 to have been paid out of the taxable surplus of the affiliate, within the meaning of section 747, the lesser of the amount by which that portion of the dividend exceeds the amount deductible in respect thereof under paragraph b of section 746 and the amount by which the amounts required by section 587 to be added exceed the amounts required by the same section to be deducted in computing the adjusted cost base of the share before the dividend was received.

1975, c. 22, s. 158; 1997, c. 3, s. 71.

584.1. For the purposes of section 584, where a taxpayer that is a taxable Canadian corporation acquires from another corporation resident in Canada with which the taxpayer does not deal at arm’s length, a share of the capital stock of a foreign affiliate of the taxpayer, the taxpayer is deemed to have been required to add or deduct, as the case may be, under Chapter IV, in computing the adjusted cost base of the share, any amount the other corporation has been so required to add or deduct, as the case may be, in computing the adjusted cost base of the share.

1993, c. 16, s. 232; 1997, c. 3, s. 71; 2010, c. 25, s. 45.

584.2. For the purposes of section 584, where a taxpayer resident in Canada acquires a share of the capital stock of a corporation that is immediately after the acquisition a foreign affiliate of the taxpayer from a partnership of which the taxpayer, or a corporation resident in Canada with which the taxpayer was not dealing at arm’s length at the time the share was acquired, was a member at any time during any fiscal period of the partnership that began before the acquisition, the following rules apply:

(a)  that portion of any amount that the partnership was required by section 587 to add to the adjusted cost base of the share of the foreign affiliate equal to the amount included in computing the income of the member of the partnership because of section 600 in relation to the amount that was included in computing the income of the partnership under section 580 or 582 in respect of the foreign affiliate and added to that adjusted cost base, is deemed to be an amount that the taxpayer was required by section 587 to add in computing the adjusted cost base of the share; and

(b)  that portion of any amount that the partnership was required by section 587 to deduct from the adjusted cost base of the share of the foreign affiliate equal to the amount by which the income of the member of the partnership was reduced because of section 600 in relation to the amount deducted in computing the income of the partnership, in respect of the foreign affiliate, under any of sections 581, 583 and 584 and deducted from that adjusted cost base, is deemed to be an amount that the taxpayer was required by section 587 to deduct in computing the adjusted cost base of the share.

2004, c. 8, s. 117.

CHAPTER IV ADJUSTED COST BASE OF SHARES IN A FOREIGN AFFILIATE

1972, c. 23; 1975, c. 22, s. 159.

585. In computing, at any time in a taxation year, the adjusted cost base of a share of the capital stock of a foreign affiliate of a corporation resident in Canada, such corporation shall deduct, in respect of any dividend received by it before that time on such share, an amount equal to the amount by which such portion of the dividend as is deductible under paragraph d of section 746 in computing its taxable income for the year exceeds such portion of income or profits tax that it has paid to the government of a country other than Canada as may reasonably be ascribed to such portion of the dividend that it has so received.

1972, c. 23, s. 449; 1975, c. 22, s. 159; 1997, c. 3, s. 71.

586. The rule set forth in section 585 applies, with the necessary modifications, for the purposes of computing, at any time in a taxation year, the adjusted cost base, to a foreign affiliate of a person resident in Canada, of a share of the capital stock of another foreign affiliate of such person, as if the expression “as is deductible” read “as, if it were resident in Canada, would be deductible”.

1972, c. 23, s. 450; 1975, c. 22, s. 159; 1995, c. 63, s. 261.

587.

587.2. A foreign affiliate of a corporation resident in Canada or a partnership of which such a foreign affiliate is a member is required to add, in computing the adjusted cost base to the foreign affiliate or partnership of a share of the capital stock of another foreign affiliate of the corporation, the amount required by subsection 1.1 of section 92 of the Income Tax Act (R.S.C. 1985, c. 1, (5th Suppl.)) to be so added in that computation for the purposes of that Act.

2015, c. 36, s. 25.

588. A corporation resident in Canada, in computing, at any time in a taxation year, the adjusted cost base of a share of the capital stock of a foreign affiliate of the corporation, shall deduct any amount deducted by it in computing its taxable income under section 749 for the year or a preceding year in respect of any dividend received by it on such share before that time.

1975, c. 22, s. 160; 1997, c. 3, s. 71.

588.1.

[(A − B) − (C + D)] × (E / F).

In the formula provided for in the first paragraph,

(a)  A is the aggregate of all amounts each of which is an amount that was deductible under paragraph d of section 746 in computing the taxable income of the member for any taxation year that began before the particular time in relation to any portion of a dividend received by the partnership, or that would have been so deductible if the member were a corporation resident in Canada;

(b)  B is the aggregate of all amounts each of which is the portion of any income or profits tax paid by the partnership or the member to a government of a country other than Canada that can reasonably be attributed to the member’s share of the dividend described in paragraph a;

(c)  C is the aggregate of all amounts each of which is an amount added under this section in computing the member’s proceeds of a disposition before the particular time of another interest in the partnership;

Where a partnership disposes of a share of the capital stock of a corporation, at any particular time in a fiscal period of the partnership at the end of which a corporation resident in Canada or a foreign affiliate of a corporation resident in Canada is a member of the partnership, the amount determined by the following formula is deemed to be a gain of the member from the disposition of the share by the partnership for the member’s taxation year in which that fiscal period ends:

(A − B) − C.

In the formula provided for in the first paragraph,

(a)  A is the aggregate of all amounts each of which is an amount that was deductible under paragraph d of section 746 in computing the member’s taxable income for a taxation year in relation to any portion of a dividend received by the partnership on the share in a fiscal period that began before the particular time and ended in the member’s taxation year, or would have been so deductible if the member were a corporation resident in Canada;

CHAPTER V ELECTION RELATING TO THE DISPOSITION OF A SHARE

1972, c. 23.

589. If a corporation resident in Canada makes a valid election under subsection 1 of section 93 of the Income Tax Act (R.S.C. 1985, c. 1, (5th Suppl.)), in respect of any share of the capital stock of a particular foreign affiliate of the corporation that is disposed of, at any time, by the corporation (in this section referred to as the “disposing corporation”) or by another foreign affiliate (in this section referred to as the “disposing affiliate”) of the corporation, the amount designated in the election, in accordance with paragraph a of that subsection 1, not exceeding the amount that would, in the absence of this section, be the gain of the disposing corporation or disposing affiliate, as the case may be, from the disposition of the share, is deemed, for the purposes of this Part,

(a)  to have been a dividend received on the share from the particular foreign affiliate by the disposing corporation or disposing affiliate, as the case may be, immediately before that time; and

(b)  not to have been received by the disposing corporation or disposing affiliate, as the case may be, as proceeds of disposition in respect of the disposition of the share.

Chapter V.2 of Title II of Book I applies in relation to an election made under subsection 1 of section 93 of the Income Tax Act.

589.1. Except for the purposes of paragraph a of section 255, if, in relation to a share, section 261 applies to a corporation that has made, in respect of the share, the election referred to in the first paragraph of section 589, or to a foreign affiliate of the corporation, the amount that is deemed by section 261 to be the gain of the corporation or foreign affiliate, as the case may be, from the disposition of the share is deemed to be equal to the amount by which the amount established without reference to this section exceeds the amount that is deemed, under the first paragraph of section 589, to be a dividend and not to be proceeds of disposition of the share, in relation to the disposition.

1993, c. 16, s. 233; 1997, c. 3, s. 71; 2010, c. 25, s. 46.

589.1.1. The rules in the second paragraph apply if

(a)  a particular foreign affiliate of a corporation resident in Canada disposes at any time of a share (in this subparagraph and the second paragraph referred to as the “disposed share”) of the capital stock of another foreign affiliate of the corporation and the particular foreign affiliate would, in the absence of section 589 and the second paragraph, have realized a capital gain from the disposition of the disposed share; or

(b)  in the absence of section 589 and the second paragraph, a corporation resident in Canada would be deemed under section 261, because of a valid election under section 577.3 or subparagraph i of paragraph b of subsection 2 of section 5901 of the Income Tax Regulations made under the Income Tax Act (R.S.C. 1985, c. 1, (5th Suppl.)), to have realized a gain, at any time, from the disposition of a share (in the second paragraph referred to as the “disposed share”) of the capital stock of a foreign affiliate of the corporation.

The rules to which the first paragraph refers are the following:

(a)  the corporation resident in Canada is deemed to have made the election referred to in the first paragraph of section 589, at the time referred to in the first paragraph, in respect of the disposition of the disposed share; and

(b)  the corporation resident in Canada is deemed to have designated, in the election, an amount equal to the amount that it is deemed, under paragraph b of subsection 1.11 of section 93 of the Income Tax Act, to have designated in the election in respect of the disposition of the disposed share.

2015, c. 21, s. 195.

589.2. If the disposition of shares of a class of the capital stock of a foreign affiliate of a particular corporation resident in Canada by a partnership would, but for this section, result in a taxable capital gain for a corporation (in this section referred to as the “disposing corporation”) that is the particular corporation or a foreign affiliate of the particular corporation and the particular corporation makes a valid election under subsection 1.2 of section 93 of the Income Tax Act (R.S.C. 1985, c. 1, (5th Suppl.)) after 19 December 2006 in respect of the disposition, the following rules apply:

(a)  the amount determined in accordance with the second paragraph in respect of those shares is deemed to be a dividend received immediately before the disposition on the number of those shares that is the amount by which the number of those shares that the disposing corporation is deemed to own under section 592.1 immediately before the disposition exceeds the number of those shares that the disposing corporation is deemed to own under that section immediately after the disposition;

(b)  notwithstanding Title XI, the disposing corporation’s taxable capital gain from the disposition of those shares is deemed to be the amount by which the disposing corporation’s taxable capital gain from the disposition of the shares otherwise determined exceeds the amount determined in accordance with subparagraph a of the second paragraph in relation to those shares;

(c)  (paragraph repealed);

(d)  for the purposes of sections 746 to 749 in relation to the dividend referred to in subparagraph a, the shares of the capital stock of the foreign affiliate on which that dividend was received are deemed to have been owned by the disposing corporation; and

(e)  where the application of section 261 in respect of the partnership, in relation to those shares, results in a taxable capital gain for the disposing corporation, the partnership is deemed, for the purposes of this section, to have disposed of those shares.

The amount to which subparagraph a of the first paragraph refers in respect of shares of a class of the capital stock of the foreign affiliate is, subject to the third paragraph, twice

(a)  the amount designated in respect of shares in accordance with subparagraph i of paragraph a of subsection 1.2 of section 93 of the Income Tax Act, not exceeding the proportion of the taxable capital gain of the partnership that the amount by which the number of shares of that class of the capital stock of the foreign affiliate that are deemed to be owned by the disposing corporation under section 592.1 immediately before the disposition exceeds the number of those shares that are deemed to be owned by the disposing corporation under that section immediately after the disposition, is of the number of shares of that class of the capital stock of the foreign affiliate that are owned by the partnership immediately before the disposition; or

(b)  where section 589.3 applies, the amount prescribed by regulation for the purposes of subparagraph ii of paragraph a of subsection 1.2 of section 93 of the Income Tax Act.

For the purposes of the second paragraph in respect of a disposing corporation for any of the following taxation years, the reference to “twice” in that paragraph shall be replaced, with the necessary modifications, by the following fraction, as the case may be:

(a)  in the case of a taxation year that ends before 28 February 2000, 4/3; and

(b)  in the case of a taxation year that includes 28 February 2000 or 17 October 2000 or that begins after 28 February 2000 and ends before 17 October 2000, the fraction that is the reciprocal of the fraction in paragraphs a to d of section 231.0.1 that applies in respect of the disposing corporation for the year.

Chapter V.2 of Title II of Book I applies in relation to an election made under subsection 1.2 of section 93 of the Income Tax Act or in relation to an election made under the first paragraph before 20 December 2006.

2004, c. 8, s. 119; 2010, c. 25, s. 47; 2015, c. 36, s. 26; 2019, c. 14, s. 156.

589.3. If a partnership disposes at a particular time of excluded property that are shares of a class of the capital stock of a foreign affiliate of a particular corporation resident in Canada, the disposition results in a taxable capital gain for a foreign affiliate (in this section referred to as the “disposing corporation”) of the particular corporation, and subsection 1.3 of section 93 of the Income Tax Act (R.S.C. 1985, c. 1, (5th Suppl.)) applies in respect of the disposition, the particular corporation is deemed to have made at that time the election referred to in section 589.2 in relation to the number of shares of that class of the capital stock of the foreign affiliate that is the amount by which the number of those shares that are deemed to be owned by the disposing corporation under section 592.1 immediately before the disposition exceeds the number of those shares that are deemed to be owned by the disposing corporation under that section immediately after the disposition.

2004, c. 8, s. 119; 2010, c. 25, s. 48.

590. If a taxpayer resident in Canada or a foreign affiliate (which taxpayer or foreign affiliate is referred to in this section as the “transferee”) of the taxpayer acquires shares of the capital stock of one or more foreign affiliates (each referred to in this section as an “acquired affiliate”) of the taxpayer on a disposition of shares (such shares disposed of being referred to in this section as the “disposed shares”) of the capital stock of any other foreign affiliate of the taxpayer (other than, where the transferee is a foreign affiliate of the taxpayer, a disposition of shares that are, immediately before the disposition, excluded property of the transferee or a disposition to which section 238.1 applies), the following rules apply:

(a)  the capital loss of the transferee from the disposition is deemed to be nil; and

(b)  in computing the adjusted cost base to the transferee of a share of a particular class of the capital stock of an acquired affiliate that is owned by the transferee immediately after the disposition, there is to be added the amount determined by the formula

[(A-B) × C/D]/E.

In the formula in subparagraph b of the first paragraph,

(a)  A is the aggregate of all amounts each of which is the cost amount to the transferee, immediately before the disposition, of a disposed share;

(b)  B is the total of

i.  the aggregate of all amounts each of which is the proceeds of disposition of a disposed share, and

ii.  the aggregate of all amounts in respect of the computation of losses of the transferee from the dispositions of the disposed shares, each of which is, in respect of the disposition of a disposed share, the amount by which the amount referred to in subparagraph a of the second paragraph of section 591 exceeds the amount determined by the formula in that second paragraph;

(c)  C is the fair market value, immediately after the disposition, of all shares of the particular class owned, immediately after the disposition, by the transferee;

(d)  D is the fair market value, immediately after the disposition, of all shares owned, immediately after the disposition, by the transferee of the capital stock of all acquired affiliates; and

(e)  E is the number of shares of the particular class that are owned by the transferee immediately after the disposition.

1975, c. 22, s. 162; 1993, c. 16, s. 234; 2000, c. 5, s. 133; 2015, c. 21, s. 196.

591. The amount of a particular loss sustained by a vendor that is a particular corporation resident in Canada or a foreign affiliate of the particular corporation is determined in accordance with the rules set out in the second paragraph where

(a)  the particular corporation has a particular loss, determined without reference to this chapter, from the disposition by it at any time (in this section referred to as the “disposition time”) of a share (in this section referred to as the “affiliate share”) of the capital stock of a foreign affiliate of the particular corporation; or

(b)  the foreign affiliate of the particular corporation has a particular loss, determined without reference to this chapter, from the disposition by it at any time (in this section referred to as the “disposition time”) of a share (in this section referred to as the “affiliate share”) of the capital stock of another foreign affiliate of the particular corporation that is not excluded property.

Where a particular loss is a loss referred to in subparagraph a or b of the first paragraph, the amount of the particular loss is deemed to be equal to the greater of

(a)  the amount determined by the formula

A-(B-C); and

(b)  the lesser of

i.  the portion of the particular loss, determined without reference to this chapter, that can reasonably be considered to be attributable to a fluctuation in the value of a currency other than Canadian currency relative to Canadian currency, and

ii.  the amount determined in respect of the vendor that is

(1)  if the particular loss is a capital loss, the amount of a gain (other than a specified gain) that was realized within 30 days before or after the disposition time by the vendor and that is described in the fourth paragraph, or that is a capital gain realized within 30 days before or after the disposition time by the vendor under an agreement described in the fifth paragraph, or

(2)  in any other case, the amount of a gain (other than a specified gain or a capital gain) that was realized within 30 days before or after the disposition time by the vendor and that is included in computing the income of the vendor for the taxation year that includes the time the gain was realized, if the gain meets any of the conditions of the sixth paragraph.

In the formula in subparagraph a of the second paragraph,

(a)  A is the amount of the particular loss determined without reference to this chapter;

iii.  a foreign affiliate of the particular corporation, or

iv.  a foreign affiliate of another corporation that is related to the particular corporation; and

ii.  the aggregate of all amounts each of which is twice the amount by which an allowable capital loss (determined without reference to this chapter) of a corporation or a foreign affiliate described in subparagraph b, from a previous disposition by a partnership of the affiliate share or a share for which the affiliate share was substituted, was reduced under subparagraph a of the second paragraph of section 591.1 in respect of tax-exempt dividends referred to in subparagraph b,

iii.  the aggregate of all amounts each of which is the amount by which a loss (determined without reference to this chapter), from a previous disposition by a corporation, or a foreign affiliate described in subparagraph b, of an interest in a partnership, was reduced under subparagraph a of the second paragraph of section 591.2 in respect of tax-exempt dividends referred to in subparagraph b, and

iv.  the aggregate of all amounts each of which is twice the amount by which an allowable capital loss (determined without reference to this chapter) of a corporation or a foreign affiliate described in subparagraph b, from a previous disposition by a partnership of an interest in another partnership, was reduced under subparagraph a of the second paragraph of section 591.3 in respect of tax-exempt dividends referred to in subparagraph b.

The gain to which subparagraph 1 of subparagraph ii of subparagraph b of the second paragraph refers is a gain that

(a)  is deemed under section 262 to be a capital gain of the vendor for the taxation year that includes the time the gain was realized from the disposition of currency other than Canadian currency; and

(b)  provides for the purchase, sale or exchange of currency; and

(c)  can reasonably be considered to have been entered into by the vendor for the principal purpose of hedging the foreign exchange exposure arising in connection with the acquisition of the affiliate share.

iii.  can reasonably be considered to have been issued or incurred in relation to the acquisition of the affiliate share; and

(b)  the gain is provided for in an agreement described in the fifth paragraph.

1972, c. 23, s. 452; 1993, c. 16, s. 235; 1997, c. 3, s. 71; 2004, c. 8, s. 120; 2015, c. 21, s. 196.

591.0.1. For the purposes of subparagraphs 1 and 2 of subparagraph ii of subparagraph b of the second paragraph of section 591, “specified gain” means a gain in respect of the settlement or extinguishment of a foreign currency debt referred to in subparagraph b of the fourth paragraph of that section or in subparagraph a of the sixth paragraph of that section, or that arises under a particular agreement referred to in the fifth paragraph of that section, if the particular corporation, or any person or partnership with which the particular corporation was not—at any time during which the foreign currency debt was outstanding or the particular agreement was in force, as the case may be—dealing at arm’s length, entered into an agreement that may reasonably be considered to have been entered into for the principal purpose of hedging any foreign exchange exposure arising in connection with the foreign currency debt or the particular agreement.

2015, c. 21, s. 197.

591.1. The amount of a particular allowable capital loss sustained by a particular corporation resident in Canada or a foreign affiliate of the particular corporation is determined in accordance with the rules set out in the second paragraph where

(a)  the particular corporation has a particular allowable capital loss, determined without reference to this chapter, from the disposition at any time (in this section referred to as the “disposition time”) by a partnership (in this section and section 591.1.1 referred to as the “disposing partnership”) of a share (in this section referred to as the “affiliate share”) of the capital stock of a foreign affiliate of the particular corporation; or

(b)  the foreign affiliate of the particular corporation has a particular allowable capital loss, determined without reference to this chapter, from the disposition at any time (in this section referred to as the “disposition time”) by a partnership (in this section and section 591.1.1 referred to as the “disposing partnership”) of a share (in this section referred to as the “affiliate share”) of the capital stock of another foreign affiliate of the particular corporation that would not be excluded property of the affiliate if the affiliate had owned the share immediately before the disposition time.

Where a particular allowable capital loss is a loss referred to in subparagraph a or b of the first paragraph, the amount of the particular allowable capital loss is deemed to be equal to the greater of

(a)  the amount determined by the formula

A-(B-C); and

(b)  the lesser of

i.  the portion of the particular allowable capital loss, determined without reference to this chapter, that can reasonably be considered to be attributable to a fluctuation in the value of a currency other than Canadian currency relative to Canadian currency, and

ii.  one-half of the amount determined in respect of the particular corporation, or the foreign affiliate of the particular corporation, that is the amount of a gain (other than a specified gain) that

(1)  was realized within 30 days before or after the disposition time by the disposing partnership to the extent that the gain is reasonably attributable to the particular corporation or the foreign affiliate, as the case may be, if the gain is described in the fourth paragraph, or

(2)  is a capital gain (to the extent that the capital gain is reasonably attributable to the particular corporation or the foreign affiliate, as the case may be) realized within 30 days before or after the disposition time by the disposing partnership under an agreement described in the fifth paragraph.

In the formula in subparagraph a of the second paragraph,

CHAPTER V.1 SHARES HELD BY A PARTNERSHIP

2004, c. 8, s. 123.

592.1. For the purpose of determining whether a corporation not resident in Canada is a foreign affiliate of a corporation resident in Canada for the purposes of a provision among those mentioned in the second paragraph, the shares of a class of the capital stock of a corporation that, based on the assumptions contained in paragraph c of section 600, are owned at a particular time by a partnership or are deemed under this section to be owned at a particular time by the partnership, are deemed to be owned at that time by each member of the partnership in proportion to the number of all of those shares that the fair market value of the member’s interest in the partnership at that time is of the fair market value of all members’ interests in the partnership at that time.

The provisions to which the first paragraph refers are the following:

(a)  sections 146.1, 262.0.1, 576.2, 577, 577.2 to 577.11, 589 to 592, 592.2, 592.7 to 592.10 and 746 to 749 and paragraph d of section 785.1;

592.2. Where shares of a class of the capital stock of a foreign affiliate of a particular corporation resident in Canada are owned, based on the assumptions contained in paragraph c of section 600, by a partnership at the time when the foreign affiliate pays a dividend on those shares to the partnership, the following rules apply:

(a)  for the purposes of sections 589 to 592 and 746 to 749 and any regulations made under those sections,

i.  each member of the partnership (other than another partnership) is deemed to have received a portion of the dividend equal to the proportion of the dividend that the fair market value of the member’s interest held, directly or indirectly through an interest in one or more other partnerships, in the partnership at that time is of the fair market value of all the interests in the partnership held directly by members of the partnership at that time, and

ii.  the portion of the dividend that is deemed to have been received by a member of the partnership at that time, under subparagraph i, is deemed to have been received by the member in equal proportions on each share of the foreign affiliate that is property of the partnership at that time; and

(b)  for the purpose of applying sections 746 to 749, in relation to the dividend referred to in subparagraph i of subparagraph a, each share of the foreign affiliate referred to in subparagraph ii of subparagraph a is deemed to be owned by each member of the partnership.

In addition, notwithstanding subparagraphs a and b of the first paragraph, the following rules apply:

(b)  where another foreign affiliate of the particular corporation is a member of the partnership, the amount included in computing the income of that other foreign affiliate, in relation to the dividend referred to in subparagraph i of subparagraph a of the first paragraph shall not exceed the amount that would be included in computing its income pursuant to section 600, in relation to that dividend, but for this section and if the foreign accrual property income of that other foreign affiliate were determined without reference to the value of H of the formula provided for in the definition of “foreign accrual property income” in subsection 1 of section 95 of the Income Tax Act (R.S.C. 1985, c. 1 (5th Suppl.)).

2004, c. 8, s. 123; 2017, c. 1, s. 144.

A person or partnership that is (or is deemed by this section to be) a member of a particular partnership that is a member of another partnership is deemed to be a member of the other partnership and to have, directly, rights to the income or capital of the other partnership to the extent of the person or partnership’s direct and indirect rights to that income or capital, for the purpose of applying

(a)  except to the extent that the context requires otherwise, a provision of this Title; and

(b)  if the taxpayer makes a valid election under paragraph b of subsection 3 of section 93.2 of the Income Tax Act (R.S.C. 1985, c. 1 (5th Suppl.)), subparagraph a does not apply in relation to the disposition or exchange.

(c)  the trust is at that time a specified trust;

(d)  the total fair market value at that time of all fixed interests of a class in the trust held by the corporation not resident in Canada, or persons or partnerships that do not deal at arm’s length with the corporation, is equal to at least 10% of the fair market value at that time of all fixed interests of the class; and

(e)  unless the corporation not resident in Canada first acquires a beneficial interest in the trust at that time or first becomes a foreign affiliate of the taxpayer at that time, immediately before that time the rules of section 592.9 applied

594. For the purposes of this chapter and Chapter VI.2, the following rules apply:

(a)  a person or partnership is deemed to have transferred, at any time, property to a trust if

i.  at that time the person or partnership transfers or loans property to another person or partnership and the transfer or loan is not an arm’s length transfer, and

ii.  because of that transfer or loan

(1)  the fair market value of one or more properties held by the trust increases at that time, or

(2)  a liability or potential liability of the trust decreases at that time;

(b)  the fair market value, at any time, of property deemed under paragraph a to be transferred at that time by a person or partnership is deemed to be equal to the amount of the absolute value of the increase or decrease referred to in subparagraph ii of paragraph a in respect of the property, and if that time is after 27 August 2010 and the property that the person or partnership transfers or loans at that time is restricted property of the person or partnership, the property deemed under paragraph a to be transferred at that time to a trust is deemed to be restricted property transferred at that time to the trust;

ii.  at or after that time, the trust holds property (other than property described in subparagraph b of the first paragraph of section 597.0.12) the fair market value of which is derived in whole or in part, directly or indirectly, from property held by the intermediary, and

iii.  it is reasonable to conclude that one of the reasons the transfer or loan is made is to avoid or minimize a liability under this Act;

(d)  the fair market value, at any time, of property deemed under paragraph c to be transferred at that time by a person or partnership is deemed to be equal to the fair market value of the property referred to in subparagraph i of paragraph c, and if that time is after 24 October 2012 and the property that the person or partnership transfers or loans to the intermediary is restricted property of the intermediary, the property deemed under paragraph c to be transferred at that time by the person or partnership to a trust is deemed to be restricted property transferred at that time to the trust throughout the period in which the intermediary holds the restricted property;

(e)  where, at any time, a particular person or partnership is obligated, either absolutely or contingently, to effect any undertaking including any guarantee, covenant or agreement given to ensure the repayment, in whole or in part, of a loan or other indebtedness incurred by another person or partnership, or has provided any other financial assistance to another person or partnership,

(g)  where, at any time after 22 June 2000, a particular person or partnership renders any service (other than an exempt service) to, for or on behalf of another person or partnership,

i.  the particular person or partnership is deemed to have transferred, at that time, property to that other person or partnership, and

ii.  the property, if any, transferred to the particular person or partnership from the other person or partnership in exchange for the service is deemed to have been transferred to the particular person or partnership in exchange for the property deemed under subparagraph i to have been transferred;

(h)  each of the following acquisitions of property by a particular person or partnership is deemed to be a transfer of the property, at the time of the acquisition of the property, to the particular person or partnership from the person or partnership from which the property was acquired, namely, the acquisition by the particular person or partnership of

i.  a share of a corporation from the corporation,

ii.  an interest as a beneficiary under a trust (otherwise than from a beneficiary under the trust),

i.  the particular person or partnership transfers or loans property at that time to another person or partnership,

ii.  the transfer or loan is made at the direction, or with the consent, of the specified person, and

ii.  a purpose or effect of the transfer or loan may reasonably be considered to be to provide benefits in respect of services rendered by a person as an employee of the specified person (whether or not such a benefit may be received under a right that is immediate or future, absolute or contingent, or conditional on or subject to the exercise of any discretionary power by any person or partnership);

(n)  a transfer or loan of property at a particular time is deemed to be made at the particular time jointly by a corporation and a person or partnership (in this paragraph referred to as the “specified person”) if

i.  the corporation transfers or loans property at the particular time to another person or partnership,

ii.  the transfer or loan is made at the direction, or with the consent, of the specified person,

iii.  the particular time is not, or would not be if the transfer or loan were a contribution of the specified person,

(2)  if the specified person is a partnership, a non-resident time of one or more members of the partnership, and

iv.  the corporation is, at the particular time, a controlled foreign affiliate of the specified person, or would at that time be a controlled foreign affiliate of the specified person if the specified person were at the particular time resident in Canada, or it is reasonable to conclude that the transfer or loan was made in contemplation of the corporation becoming after the particular time such a controlled foreign affiliate of the specified person;

(o)  a particular person or partnership is deemed to have transferred, at a particular time, particular property or a particular part of it, as the case may be, to a corporation described in subparagraph i or a second person or partnership described in subparagraph ii if

i.  the particular property is a share of the capital stock of a corporation held at the particular time by the particular person or partnership, and as consideration for the disposition at or before the particular time of the share, the particular person or partnership received at the particular time (or became entitled at the particular time to receive) from the corporation a share of the capital stock of the corporation, or

ii.  the particular property (or property for which the particular property is substituted) was acquired, before the particular time, from the second person or partnership by any person or partnership, in circumstances that are described in any of subparagraphs i to v of paragraph h (or would be so described if it applied at the time of that acquisition) and at the particular time,

(1)  the terms or conditions of the particular property change,

(2)  the second person or partnership redeems, acquires or cancels the particular property or the particular part of it,

(3)  if the particular property is a debt owing by the second person or partnership, the debt or the particular part of it is settled or cancelled, or

(4)  if the particular property is a right to acquire or to be loaned property, the particular person or partnership exercises the right;

(p)  a contribution made at any time by a particular trust to another trust is deemed to be made at that time jointly by the particular trust and by each person or partnership that is at that time a contributor to the particular trust;

(q)  a contribution made at any time by a particular partnership to a trust is deemed to be made at that time jointly by the particular partnership and by each person or partnership that is at that time a member of the particular partnership;

(r)  subject to paragraph s and section 597.0.7, the amount of a contribution to a trust at the time it was made is deemed to be equal to the fair market value, at that time, of the property that was the subject of the contribution;

(s)  a person or partnership that at any time acquires a fixed interest in a trust (or a right, issued by the trust, to acquire a fixed interest in the trust) from another person or partnership (other than from the trust that issued the interest or the right) is deemed to have made at that time a contribution to the trust and the amount of the contribution is deemed to be equal to the fair market value at that time of the interest or right, as the case may be;

(t)  a particular person or partnership that has acquired a fixed interest in a trust because of making a contribution to the trust–or that has made a contribution to the trust because of having acquired a fixed interest in the trust or a right described in paragraph s–is, for the purpose of applying this chapter from the time after the time that the particular person or partnership transfers the fixed interest or the right, as the case may be, to another person or partnership (which transfer is referred to in this paragraph as the “sale”), deemed not to have made the contribution in respect of the fixed interest, or right, that is the subject of the sale if

i.  in exchange for the sale, the other person or partnership transfers or loans, or undertakes to transfer or loan, property (in subparagraph ii referred to as the “consideration”) to the particular person or partnership, and

ii.  it is reasonable to conclude

(1)  having regard only to the sale and the consideration that the particular person or partnership would be willing to make the sale if the particular person or partnership were dealing at arm’s length with the other person or partnership, and

(2)  that the terms and conditions made or imposed in respect of the exchange would be acceptable to the particular person or partnership if the particular person or partnership were dealing at arm’s length with the other person or partnership;

(u)  a transfer to a trust by a particular person or partnership is deemed not to be, at a particular time, a contribution to the trust if

i.  the particular person or partnership has transferred, at or before the particular time and in the ordinary course of business of the particular person or partnership, property to the trust,

ii.  the transfer is not an arm’s length transfer, but would be an arm’s length transfer if the definition of “arm’s length transfer” in the first paragraph of section 593 were read without reference to paragraph a and subparagraphs i, ii and iv to vii of paragraph b,

iii.  it is reasonable to conclude that the particular person or partnership was the only person or partnership that acquired, in respect of the transfer, an interest as a beneficiary under the trust,

iv.  the particular person or partnership was required, in accordance with the securities law of a country or of a political subdivision of such a country in respect of the issuance by the trust of interests as a beneficiary under the trust, to acquire an interest because of the particular person or partnership’s status at the time of the transfer as a manager or promoter of the trust,

v.  at the particular time the trust is not an exempt foreign trust, but would be at that time an exempt foreign trust if it had not made an election under paragraph h of the definition of “exempt foreign trust” in the first paragraph of section 593, and

vi.  the particular time is before the earliest of

(1)  the first time at which the trust becomes an exempt foreign trust,

(2)  the first time at which the particular person or partnership ceases to be a manager or promoter of the trust, and

(3)  the time that is 24 months after the first time at which the total fair market value of consideration received by the trust in exchange for interests as a beneficiary (other than the particular person or partnership’s interest referred to in subparagraph iii) under the trust is greater than $500,000;

(v)  a transfer, by a Canadian corporation of property, that is at a particular time a contribution by the Canadian corporation to a trust, is deemed not to be, after the particular time, such a contribution to the trust if

i.  the trust acquired the property before the particular time from the Canadian corporation in circumstances described in subparagraph i or iv of paragraph h,

ii.  as a result of a transfer (in this paragraph referred to as the “sale”) at the particular time by any person or partnership (in this paragraph referred to as the “seller”) to another person or partnership (in this paragraph referred to as the “buyer”) the trust no longer holds any property that is

(1)  shares of the capital stock of, or debt issued by, the Canadian corporation, or

(2)  property the fair market value of which is derived in whole or in part, directly or indirectly, from shares of the capital stock of, or debt issued by, the Canadian corporation,

iii.  the buyer deals at arm’s length immediately before the particular time with the Canadian corporation, the trust and the seller,

iv.  in exchange for the sale, the buyer transfers or becomes obligated to transfer property (in this paragraph referred to as the “consideration”) to the seller, and

v.  it is reasonable to conclude

(1)  having regard only to the sale and the consideration that the seller would be willing to make the sale if the seller were dealing at arm’s length with the buyer,

(2)  that the terms and conditions made or imposed in respect of the exchange would be acceptable to the seller if the seller were dealing at arm’s length with the buyer, and

(3)  that the value of the consideration is not, from the particular time, determined in whole or in part, directly or indirectly, by reference to shares of the capital stock of, or debt issued by, the Canadian corporation;

(w)  a transfer, before 11 October 2002, to a personal trust by an individual (other than a trust) of particular property is deemed not to be a contribution of the particular property by the individual to the trust if the transfer is deemed not to be a contribution of the particular property by the individual to the trust for the purposes of section 94 of the Income Tax Act (R.S.C. 1985, c. 1, (5th Suppl.)) in accordance with paragraph u of subsection 2 of that section 94; and

(x)  a loan made by a specified financial institution to a trust is deemed not to be a contribution to the trust if

i.  the loan is made on terms and conditions that would have been agreed to by persons dealing at arm’s length, and

ii.  the loan is made by the specified financial institution in the ordinary course of the business carried on by it.

595. Where, but for this section, a trust would not be resident in Canada at a specified time in a particular taxation year and, at that time, there is a resident contributor to the trust or a resident beneficiary under the trust, the following rules apply, unless the trust is an exempt foreign trust at that time:

(c)  where section 94 of the Income Tax Act (R.S.C. 1985, c. 1, (5th Suppl.)) did not apply to deem, for the purposes of that Act, the trust to be resident in Canada throughout its taxation year (in this paragraph referred to as the “preceding year”) immediately preceding the particular taxation year, the trust is deemed to have

i.  immediately before the end of the preceding year, disposed of each property (other than property described in any of subparagraphs i to iv of paragraph b of section 785.1) held by the trust at that time for proceeds of disposition equal to its fair market value at that time, and

i.  disposed of each property (other than property described in any of subparagraphs i to iv of paragraph b of section 785.1) at the time the trust is deemed to have disposed of the property under section 128.1 of the Income Tax Act, because of the application of that section 94, for proceeds of disposition equal to the proceeds determined at that time under that section 128.1, and

ii.  at the time the trust is deemed to have acquired the property under section 128.1 of the Income Tax Act, because of the application of that section 94, acquired each of the properties deemed to be disposed of in accordance with subparagraph i at a cost equal to the property’s proceeds of disposition determined under subparagraph i;

(e)  if the trust (in this paragraph referred to as the “particular trust”) is an electing trust in respect of the particular taxation year, the following rules apply:

(1)  the time at which the particular trust ceases to be resident in Canada because of section 597 or 597.0.1,

(2)  the time at which the particular trust ceases to exist, and

(3)  the time at which the particular trust becomes resident in Canada otherwise than because of this section,

iii.  the terms and conditions of, and rights and obligations of beneficiaries under, the particular trust (determined with reference to all the circumstances including the terms of a trust, an intention, the laws of a country or the existence of an agreement, a memorandum, a letter of wishes or any other arrangement) are deemed to be the terms and conditions of, and rights and obligations of beneficiaries under, the non-resident portion trust,

v.  the beneficiaries under the particular trust are deemed to be the beneficiaries under the non-resident portion trust,

vi.  the non-resident portion trust is deemed not to have a resident contributor or connected contributor to it,

vii.  the non-resident portion trust is deemed to be, without affecting the liability of its trustees for their own income tax, in respect of its property an individual,

viii.  if all or part of property becomes at a particular time part of the particular trust’s non-resident portion and immediately before the particular time the property or that part of property was part of its resident portion, the particular trust is deemed to have transferred at the particular time the property or that part of property to the non-resident portion trust,

ix.  if all or part of property becomes at a particular time part of the particular trust’s resident portion and immediately before the particular time the property or that part of property was part of its non-resident portion, the non-resident portion trust is deemed to have transferred at the particular time the property or that part of property to the particular trust,

x.  the particular trust and the non-resident portion trust are deemed at all times to be affiliated with each other and to not deal with each other at arm’s length,

xi.  the particular trust has solidarily with the non-resident portion trust the rights and obligations of the non-resident portion trust in respect of any taxation year under Book IX, and the Tax Administration Act (chapter A-6.002) applies in respect of those rights and obligations, and

(1)  the non-resident portion trust is deemed, at the time (in this subparagraph xii referred to as the “disposition time”) that is immediately before the time that is immediately before the particular time, to have disposed of each of its properties that is property described in any of subparagraphs i to iv of paragraph b of section 785.1 for proceeds of disposition equal to the cost amount to it of the property at the disposition time and of each of its other properties for proceeds of disposition equal to its fair market value of the property at the disposition time,

(2)  the particular trust is deemed to have acquired, at the time that is immediately before the particular time, each property described in subparagraph 1 at a cost equal to the proceeds of disposition determined under subparagraph 1 in respect of the property, and

(f)  where there is, at that time, a resident contributor to the trust that is a tax-liable taxpayer in respect of the trust or a resident beneficiary under the trust that is a tax-liable taxpayer in respect of the trust if a connected contributor to the trust at that time is a tax-liable taxpayer in respect of the trust at that time, the trust is deemed, for the purpose of applying Book II and determining the trust’s tax liability under this Part, to be resident in Québec on the last day of the particular year and, where the trust is, in respect of the particular year, an electing trust or a trust that does not meet the condition of paragraph a of the definition of “electing trust” in the first paragraph of section 593, its income for the particular year is deemed to be equal to the portion of that income, otherwise determined, that may reasonably be considered as being attributable to property that was contributed to the trust at or before that time by a contributor that is at that time a resident contributor to the trust and a tax-liable taxpayer in respect of the trust or, if there is at that time a resident beneficiary under the trust that is a tax-liable taxpayer in respect of the trust, a connected contributor to the trust and a tax-liable taxpayer in respect of the trust; and

(g)  each person that at any time in the particular taxation year is a resident contributor to the trust (other than an electing contributor to the trust at the specified time) or a resident beneficiary under the trust and that is a tax-liable taxpayer in respect of the trust at any time has, solidarily with the trust and with each other such person that is such a resident contributor or such a resident beneficiary, the rights and obligations of the trust in respect of the particular taxation year under Book IX, and the Tax Administration Act applies in respect of those rights and obligations.

596. For greater certainty, section 595 does not deem a trust to be resident in Canada

(a)  for the purposes of subparagraph i of subparagraph b of the second paragraph of section 248;

597. A trust is deemed to cease to be resident in Canada at the earliest time at which there is neither a resident contributor to the trust nor a resident beneficiary under the trust in a particular taxation year (determined without reference to section 785.2) of the trust if

(a)  the particular taxation year immediately follows a taxation year of the trust throughout which the trust was deemed under section 595 to be resident in Canada for the purpose of computing its income; and

(b)  at a specified time in the particular taxation year, the trust

i.  is not resident in Canada,

597.0.2. Where a trust is deemed under section 597 or 597.0.1 to cease to be resident in Canada at a particular time, the following rules apply in respect of the trust in relation to the particular taxation year that is, because of that cessation of residence, deemed to end immediately before the particular time:

(a)  the trust’s fiscal return for the particular taxation year is deemed to be filed with the Minister on a timely basis if it is filed with the Minister on or before the 90th day after the end of the trust’s taxation year that is deemed to start at the particular time because of that cessation of residence; and

2015, c. 36, s. 29.

597.0.3. Where at a specified time in a taxation year a trust is an exempt foreign trust, at a particular time in the immediately following taxation year (determined without reference to this section) the trust ceases to be an exempt foreign trust (otherwise than because of becoming resident in Canada), and at the particular time there is a resident contributor to, or resident beneficiary under, the trust, the trust’s taxation year (determined without reference to this section) that includes the particular time is deemed to end immediately before the particular time and a new taxation year of the trust is deemed to begin at the particular time.

(a)  either

i.  the person is liable under paragraph g of section 595 in respect of the trust and the particular taxation year solely because the person was a resident beneficiary under the trust that is a tax-liable taxpayer in respect of the trust at a specified time in respect of the trust in the particular taxation year, or

ii.  at a specified time in respect of the trust in the particular taxation year, the aggregate of all amounts each of which is the amount, at the time it was made, of a contribution to the trust made before the specified time by the person or by another person or partnership not dealing at arm’s length with the person, is not more than the greater of

ii.  the transaction was not part of a series of transactions any of the purposes of which was to enable the person to reduce or avoid any liability under paragraph g of section 595 in respect of the trust.

2015, c. 36, s. 29.

597.0.5. The recovery limit referred to in section 597.0.4 at a particular time of a particular person in respect of a trust and a particular taxation year of the trust is equal to the amount by which the amount determined under the second paragraph is exceeded by the greater of

i.  an amount received or receivable after 31 December 2000 and before the particular time by the particular person on the disposition of all or part of the person’s interest as a beneficiary under the trust, or by a person or partnership (that was, when the amount became receivable, a specified party in respect of the particular person) on the disposition of all or part of the specified party’s interest as a beneficiary under the trust,

ii.  an amount (other than an amount described in subparagraph i) made payable by the trust after 31 December 2000 and before the particular time to the particular person because of the interest of the particular person as a beneficiary under the trust, or a person or partnership (that was, when the amount became payable, a specified party in respect of the particular person) because of the interest of the specified party as a beneficiary under the trust,

iii.  an amount received after 27 August 2010 by the particular person, or a person or partnership (that was, when the amount was received, a specified party in respect of the particular person), as a loan from the trust to the extent that the amount has not been repaid,

iv.  an amount (other than an amount described in any of subparagraphs i to iii) that is the fair market value of a benefit received or enjoyed, after 31 December 2000 and before the particular time, from or under the trust by the particular person, or a person or partnership (that was, when the benefit was received or enjoyed, a specified party in respect of the particular person), or

v.  the amount determined in respect of the particular person in accordance with subparagraph v of paragraph a of subsection 8 of section 94 of the Income Tax Act (R.S.C. 1985, c. 1, (5th Suppl.)); and

(b)  the aggregate of all amounts each of which is the amount, when made, of a contribution to the trust before the particular time by the particular person.

The amount referred to in the first paragraph is equal to the aggregate of all amounts each of which is

(a)  an amount recovered before the particular time from the particular person in connection with a liability of the particular person (in respect of the trust and the particular year or a preceding taxation year of the trust) that arose because of the application of section 94 of the Income Tax Act or section 595;

(b)  an amount (other than an amount to which this subparagraph has applied in respect of any other person) recovered before the particular time from a specified party in respect of the particular person in connection with a liability of the particular person (in respect of the trust and the particular year or a preceding taxation year of the trust) that arose because of the application of section 94 of the Income Tax Act or section 595;

(c)  the amount by which the particular person’s tax payable under this Part for any taxation year in which an amount described in any of subparagraphs i to iv of subparagraph a of the first paragraph was paid, became payable, was received, became receivable or was enjoyed by the particular person exceeds the amount that would have been the particular person’s tax payable under this Part for that taxation year if no such amount were paid, became payable, were received, became receivable or were enjoyed by the particular person in that taxation year; or

(a)  the particular person is resident in Canada; and

(b)  the trust holds the particular property on condition that the particular property or property substituted for the particular property may revert to the particular person or pass to one or more persons or partnerships to be determined by the particular person, or may not be disposed of by the trust during the existence of the particular person, except with the particular person’s consent or in accordance with the particular person’s direction.

In applying this chapter in respect of the trust for a taxation year of the trust that includes the particular time, the rules referred to in the first paragraph are as follows:

(a)  every transfer or loan made at or before the particular time by the particular person (or by a trust or partnership of which the particular person was a beneficiary or member, as the case may be) of the particular property, of another property for which the particular property is a substitute, or of property from which the particular property derives, or the other property derived, its value in whole or in part, directly or indirectly, is deemed to be a transfer or loan, as the case may be, by the particular person

i.  that is not an arm’s length transfer, and

ii.  that is, for the purposes of paragraph c of section 594 and section 597.0.7, a transfer or loan of restricted property; and

(b)  paragraph c of section 594 is to be read without reference to its subparagraph iii in its application to each transfer and loan described in subparagraph a.

2015, c. 36, s. 29.

597.0.7. Where a person or partnership contributes at any time restricted property to a trust, the amount of the contribution at that time is deemed, for the purposes of this chapter, to be equal to the greater of

(a)  the amount, determined without reference to this section, of the contribution at that time; and

(b)  the amount that is the greatest fair market value of the restricted property, or property substituted for it, in the period that begins immediately after that time and ends at the end of the third calendar year that ends after that time.

2015, c. 36, s. 29.

597.0.8. In applying this chapter at any specified time, in respect of a trust’s taxation year, that is before the particular time at which a contributor to the trust becomes resident in Canada within 60 months after making a contribution to the trust, the contribution is deemed to have been made at a time other than a non-resident time of the contributor if

(a)  in applying the definition of “non-resident time” in the first paragraph of section 593 at each of those specified times, the contribution was made at a non-resident time of the contributor; and

(b)  in applying the definition of “non-resident time” in the first paragraph of section 593 immediately after the particular time, the contribution is made at a time other than a non-resident time of the contributor.

2015, c. 36, s. 29.

597.0.9. Sections 597.0.10 and 597.0.11 apply to a trust or a person in respect of a trust if

(a)  at any time property of a trust (in this section and sections 597.0.10 and 597.0.11 referred to as the “original trust”) is transferred or loaned, directly or indirectly, in any manner whatever, to another trust (in this section and sections 597.0.10 and 597.0.11 referred to as the “transferee trust”);

(b)  the original trust

i.  is deemed to be resident in Canada immediately before that time under paragraph a of section 595,

ii.  would be deemed to be resident in Canada immediately before that time under paragraph a of section 595 if this chapter, as it read in its application to the taxation year 2013, were read without reference to paragraph a of the definition of “connected contributor” in the first paragraph of section 593 and paragraph a of the definition of “resident contributor” in that first paragraph, or

iii.  is an original trust to which subparagraph iii or iv of paragraph b of subsection 11 of section 94 of the Income Tax Act (R.S.C. 1985, c. 1, (5th Suppl.)) applies; and

(c)  it is reasonable to conclude that one of the reasons the transfer or loan is made is to reduce or avoid a liability under this Part, where the liability arose, or would otherwise have arisen, because of the application of this chapter, or under Part I of the Income Tax Act, where the liability arose, or would otherwise have arisen, because of the application of section 94 of that Act.

2015, c. 36, s. 29.

597.0.10. The original trust described in section 597.0.9 is deemed to be–at and after the time of the transfer or loan referred to in that section and for the purpose of applying this chapter in respect of the transferee trust referred to in that section–a resident contributor to the transferee trust, even if the original trust has ceased to exist.

2015, c. 36, s. 29.

597.0.11. A person that is, at the time of the transfer or loan referred to in section 597.0.9, a contributor to the original trust referred to in that section, is deemed to be at and after that time, even if the person has ceased to exist,

(a)  a contributor to the transferee trust referred to in section 597.0.9; and

(b)  a connected contributor to the transferee trust, if at that time the person is a connected contributor to the original trust.

2015, c. 36, s. 29.

597.0.12. A particular property that is, or will be, at a particular time held, loaned or transferred by a particular person or partnership is not restricted property held, loaned or transferred, as the case may be, at that time by the particular person or partnership if

(a)  the particular property is property in respect of which the conditions of paragraph a of subsection 14 of section 94 of the Income Tax Act (R.S.C. 1985, c. 1, (5th Suppl.)) are met in respect of the particular person or partnership; or

(b)  at the particular time

i.  the particular property is

(1)  a share of the capital stock of a corporation,

(2)  a fixed interest in a trust, or

(3)  an interest, as a member of a partnership, under which, by operation of any law governing the arrangement in respect of the partnership, the liability of the member as a member of the partnership is limited,

ii.  there are at least 150 persons each of whom holds at the particular time property that at that time

(1)  is identical to the particular property, and

(2)  has a total fair market value of at least $500,

iii.  the aggregate of all amounts each of which is the fair market value, at the particular time, of the particular property (or of identical property that is held, at that time, by the particular person or partnership or a person with whom the particular person or partnership does not deal at arm’s length) does not exceed 10% of the aggregate of all amounts each of which is the fair market value, at the particular time, of the particular property or of identical property held by any person or partnership,

iv.  property that is identical to the particular property can normally be acquired by and sold by members of the public in the open market, and

2015, c. 36, s. 29.

597.0.13. For the purposes of this chapter, the following rules apply:

(a)  if it can reasonably be considered that one of the main reasons that a person or partnership

i.  is at any time a shareholder of a corporation is to cause the condition of paragraph b of the definition of “closely held corporation” in the first paragraph of section 593 to be satisfied in respect of the corporation, the condition is deemed not to have been satisfied at that time in respect of the corporation,

ii.  holds at any time an interest in a trust is to cause the condition of subparagraph 1 of subparagraph ii of paragraph h of the definition of “exempt foreign trust” in the first paragraph of section 593 to be satisfied in respect of the trust, the condition is deemed not to have been satisfied at that time in respect of the trust, and

iii.  holds at any time a property is to cause the condition of subparagraph ii of subparagraph b of the first paragraph of section 597.0.12 to be satisfied in respect of the property or an identical property held by any person, the condition is deemed not to have been satisfied at that time in respect of the property or the identical property;

(b)  where, at or before a specified time in a trust’s particular taxation year, a resident contributor to the trust contributes to the trust property that is restricted property of the trust, or property for which restricted property of the trust is substituted, and the trust is at that specified time an exempt foreign trust because of paragraph f of the definition of “exempt foreign trust” in the first paragraph of section 593, the amount of the trust’s income for the particular year from the restricted property, and the amount of any taxable capital gain from the disposition in the particular year by the trust of the restricted property, are to be included in computing the income of the resident contributor for its taxation year in which the particular taxation year of the trust ends and not in computing the income of the trust for that particular year; and

(c)  where at a specified time in a particular taxation year a trust is an exempt foreign trust because of paragraph h of the definition of “exempt foreign trust” in the first paragraph of section 593, at a time immediately before a particular time in the immediately following taxation year (determined without reference to section 597.0.3) there is a resident contributor to, or resident beneficiary under, the trust, at the time that is immediately before the particular time a beneficiary under the trust holds a fixed interest in the trust, and at the particular time the interest ceases to be a fixed interest in the trust, the following rules apply:

i.  the trust is deemed, other than for the purposes of section 597.0.3, not to be an exempt foreign trust at any time in the trust’s taxation year (in this section referred to as the “assessment year”) that ends, in accordance with section 597.0.3, at the time that is immediately before the particular time,

ii.  the trust shall include in computing its income for its assessment year the amount determined by the formula

D/E × 25.75%.

In the formulas in the first paragraph,

(a)  A is the amount by which the aggregate of all amounts each of which is equal to the fair market value of a property held by the trust at the end of its assessment year exceeds the aggregate of all amounts each of which is equal to the principal amount outstanding at the end of the assessment year of a liability of the trust;

597.1. In this chapter, the expression

(a)  “offshore investment fund property” of a taxpayer means a share of the capital stock of, an interest in, or a debt of, a particular foreign entity other than a controlled foreign affiliate of the taxpayer or a prescribed foreign entity or a right in or a right or option to acquire such a share, interest or debt that may reasonably be considered to derive its value, directly or indirectly, primarily from portfolio investments of that or any other foreign entity in one or more of the assets listed in section 597.2;

(b)  “designated cost” to a taxpayer at any time in a taxation year of an offshore investment fund property that he holds or has a right in means the amount determined in respect thereof at that time under section 597.3;

(c)  “foreign entity” at any time means a corporation that is at that time not resident in Canada, a partnership, organization, fund or entity that is at that time not resident in Canada or is not at that time situated in Canada, or an exempt foreign trust, within the meaning assigned to that expression by the first paragraph of section 593, other than a trust described in any of paragraphs a to g of the definition of that expression.

597.3. The amount contemplated in paragraph b of section 597.1 at any time in a taxation year in respect of an offshore investment fund property that the taxpayer holds or has a right in is the aggregate of

(a)  the cost amount to the taxpayer of the property at that time determined without reference to paragraphs c.5 and h.1 of section 255, paragraphs b and b.1 and subparagraph i.3 of paragraph l of section 257 and Title VIII of Book VI;

(b)  where an additional amount has been made available by a person to another person after the calendar year 1984 and before that time, whether by way of gift, loan, payment for a share, transfer of property at less than its fair market value or otherwise, in circumstances such that it may reasonably be concluded that one of the main reasons for so making the additional amount available to the other person was to increase the value of the offshore investment fund property, the aggregate of all amounts each of which is the amount by which such an additional amount exceeds any increase in the cost amount to the taxpayer of the offshore investment fund property by virtue of that additional amount;

(c)  the aggregate of all amounts each of which is an amount included in respect of the offshore investment fund property by virtue of this chapter in computing the taxpayer’s income for a preceding taxation year;

i.  the amount by which the fair market value of the property at the time the taxpayer acquired the property exceeds the cost amount to the taxpayer of the property at that time, and

ii.  the amount by which the aggregate of all amounts each of which is an amount that would have been included in respect of the property because of section 597.6 in computing the taxpayer’s income for a taxation year that began before 20 June 1996 if the cost to the taxpayer of the property had been equal to the fair market value of the property at the time the taxpayer acquired it exceeds the aggregate of all amounts each of which is an amount that was included in respect of the property because of section 597.6 in computing the taxpayer’s income for a taxation year that began before 20 June 1996.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, where the property is a prescribed offshore investment fund property, the amount determined under the first paragraph in respect thereof is deemed nil.

1986, c. 15, s. 90; 2001, c. 7, s. 60; 2020, c. 16, s. 88.

597.4. Where in a taxation year a taxpayer holds or has a right in an offshore investment fund property and it may reasonably be concluded, taking all the circumstances into account, that one of the main reasons for the taxpayer acquiring, holding or having the right in such property was to derive a benefit from portfolio investments in assets listed in paragraphs a to h of section 597.2 in such a manner that the taxes on the income, profits and gains from such assets for a particular year are significantly less than the tax that would have been payable under this Part if the income, profits and gains had been earned directly by the taxpayer, the amount determined under section 597.6 for that year in respect of that property is to be included in computing the taxpayer’s income for the year.

1986, c. 15, s. 90; 1997, c. 3, s. 71; 2015, c. 36, s. 31; 2020, c. 16, s. 89.

597.5. For the purposes of section 597.4, the circumstances that must be taken into account include

(a)  the nature, organization and operation of any foreign entity and the form of, and the terms and conditions governing, the taxpayer’s interest in, or connection with, any such entity;

(b)  the extent to which any income, profits and gains that may reasonably be considered to be earned or accrued, whether directly or indirectly, for the benefit of any foreign entity are subject to an income or profits tax that is significantly less than the income tax that would be applicable to such income, profits and gains if they were earned directly by the taxpayer;

(c)  the extent to which the income, profits and gains of any foreign entity for any fiscal period are distributed in that or the following fiscal period.

1986, c. 15, s. 90.

597.6. The amount to be included in computing a taxpayer’s income for a taxation year under section 597.4 in respect of an offshore investment fund property is equal to the amount by which the taxpayer’s income for the year from the offshore investment fund property, determined without reference to this section or to section 597.4, is exceeded by the aggregate of all amounts each of which is the product obtained when the designated cost to the taxpayer of the offshore investment fund property at the end of a particular month in the year is multiplied by the quotient obtained when the rate of interest that is the total of the rates determined in accordance with clauses A and B of subparagraph ii of paragraph f of subsection 1 of section 94.1 of the Income Tax Act (R.S.C. 1985, c. 1, (5th Suppl.)) for the period including the particular month is divided by 12.

For the purposes of subparagraph b of the first paragraph, the taxpayer’s income does not include a capital gain.

1986, c. 15, s. 90; 2010, c. 31, s. 175; 2015, c. 36, s. 32.

CHAPTER VI.2 FOREIGN COMMERCIAL TRUSTS

2015, c. 36, s. 33.

597.7. Section 597.8 applies to a beneficiary under a trust, and to a particular person of which such a beneficiary is a controlled foreign affiliate, at a particular time if

(a)  the trust is at that time an exempt foreign trust (other than a trust described in any of paragraphs a to g of the definition of “exempt foreign trust” in the first paragraph of section 593);

(b)  either

i.  the total fair market value at that time of all fixed interests of a particular class in the trust held by the beneficiary, persons or partnerships not dealing at arm’s length with the beneficiary, or persons or partnerships that acquired their interests in the trust in exchange for consideration given to the trust by the beneficiary, is at least 10% of the total fair market value at that time of all fixed interests of the particular class, or

ii.  the beneficiary or the particular person has at or before that time contributed restricted property to the trust; and

(c)  the beneficiary is at that time a

i.  resident beneficiary,

ii.  mutual fund,

iii.  controlled foreign affiliate of the particular person, or

iv.  partnership of which a person listed in any of subparagraphs i to iii is a member.

2015, c. 36, s. 33.

597.8. If, because of section 597.7, this section applies at a particular time to a beneficiary under, or a particular person in respect of, a trust, for the purposes of sections 571 to 576.1, 578 and 579 to 583, paragraph a of section 597.1 and section 598, the following rules apply:

(a)  the trust is deemed to be at that time a corporation not resident in Canada

i.  controlled by each of the beneficiary and the particular person, and

ii.  having, for each particular class of fixed interests in the trust, a separate class of capital stock of 100 issued shares that have the same attributes as the interests of the particular class; and

(b)  each beneficiary under the trust is deemed to hold at that time a percentage of the number of shares of each separate class described in subparagraph ii of paragraph a equal to the percentage representing the proportion that the fair market value at that time of that beneficiary’s fixed interests in the corresponding particular class of fixed interests in the trust is of the fair market value at that time of all fixed interests in the particular class.

2015, c. 36, s. 33.

597.9. For the purposes of this chapter in respect of a taxpayer for a taxation year, the fair market value of interests in a trust for the purposes of sections 597.7 and 597.8 in respect of the taxpayer for the year is deemed to be equal to the fair market value determined for the year, in respect of those interests, in accordance with subsection 4 of section 94.2 of the Income Tax Act (R.S.C. 1985, c. 1, (5th Suppl.)).

2015, c. 36, s. 33.

600. Each member of a partnership shall compute, for a taxation year, his income, non-capital loss, net capital loss, restricted farm loss, farm loss or taxable income earned in Canada, as the case may be, as if each of the following hypotheses governing the interpretation of the provisions of this Title applied:

(a)  the partnership is a separate person resident in Canada;

(b)  the taxation year of the partnership is its fiscal period;

(c)  the partnership carries on as a separate person each of its activities, including the ownership of property and for each of its taxation years, computes the amount of:

i.  each taxable capital gain and allowable capital loss from the disposition of property, and

ii.  each income and loss of the partnership from each other source in Canada or from sources in another place;

(d)  in computing each income or loss of the partnership for a taxation year, no account shall be taken of paragraph z.4 of section 87, sections 145 and 217.2 to 217.9.1, 217.18 to 217.34, paragraphs a, d, e and e.1 of section 330 and section 418.12, and no deduction is permitted under section 88.4 of the Act respecting the application of the Taxation Act (chapter I-4), section 217.13, the first paragraph of section 360 or sections 362 to 418.12;

(e)  each gain of the partnership from the disposition of land used in a farming business of the partnership is computed without reference to paragraph l of section 255;

(e.1)  the amount by which the aggregate of all amounts determined under sections 222 to 224 in respect of the partnership at the end of a taxation year exceeds the aggregate of all amounts determined under section 225 in respect of the partnership at the end of the year was deducted under the said sections in computing the income of the partnership for the year;

(f)  subject to section 600.0.1, the income of the partnership, for a taxation year, from any source in Canada or from sources in another place is, to the extent of the taxpayer’s share thereof, his income for his taxation year during which the taxation year of the partnership ends, from such source in Canada or sources situated in such other place, as the case may be; and

(g)  subject to section 600.0.1, the amount by which the loss of the partnership for a taxation year from any source in Canada or from sources in another place exceeds, in the case of a taxpayer who would be a specified member of the partnership in the year if the definition of “specified member” in section 1 were read without reference to paragraph b thereof, the amount deducted by the partnership under sections 222 to 230 in computing its income for the taxation year from that source or those sources, as the case may be, and, in any other case, nil, is the loss of the taxpayer from such source in Canada or sources situated in such other place, as the case may be, for the taxation year of the taxpayer in which the partnership’s taxation year ends, to the extent of the taxpayer’s share thereof.

1972, c. 23, s. 455; 1975, c. 22, s. 165; 1978, c. 26, s. 106; 1980, c. 11, s. 54; 1982, c. 5, s. 129; 1985, c. 25, s. 104; 1986, c. 19, s. 130; 1989, c. 5, s. 73; 1989, c. 77, s. 67; 1994, c. 22, s. 211; 1997, c. 3, s. 71; 1997, c. 31, s. 55; 1998, c. 16, s. 175; 2000, c. 5, s. 293; 2004, c. 8, s. 125; 2013, c. 10, s. 36.

600.0.1. Except for the purposes of Chapter II.1 of this Title, paragraph i of section 255 and paragraph l of section 257, where, in a particular taxation year, an individual is a member of a particular partnership and the particular partnership deducted, in computing its income for its taxation year ending in the particular taxation year, an amount under paragraph a of section 130 or the second paragraph of section 130.1 in respect of a certified Québec film, within the meaning of the regulations under the said section 130, or another partnership deducted, in the same respect, an amount under one of the said paragraphs which may reasonably be considered to have contributed to the creation or increase of the individual’s share of the loss of the particular partnership which, but for this section, would be determined for the particular taxation year, or to the reduction or cancellation of the individual’s share of the income of the particular partnership which, but for this section, would be determined for the particular taxation year, the following rules apply:

(a)  where the individual would, but for this section, have a share of the income of the particular partnership for the particular taxation year, that share is deemed, notwithstanding paragraph f of section 600, to be equal to the aggregate of his share of the income of the particular partnership for the particular taxation year which, but for this section, would be determined in the said paragraph f of his share of the amount so deducted by the particular partnership in computing its income for the particular taxation year pursuant to the said paragraph a of section 130 or the said second paragraph of section 130.1 and, as the case may be, of the amount so deducted by the other partnership pursuant to the said paragraph a of section 130 or the said second paragraph of section 130.1 to the extent that it may reasonably be considered that the deduction of that amount by the other partnership contributed to the reduction of that share of the income of the particular partnership for the particular taxation year which, but for this section, would have been determined in the said paragraph f,

(b)  where the individual would, but for this section, have a share of the loss of the particular partnership for the particular taxation year, that share is deemed, notwithstanding paragraph g of section 600, to be equal to the amount by which his share of the loss of the particular partnership for the particular taxation year which, but for this section, would be determined in the said paragraph g exceeds the lesser of

i.  the aggregate of his share of the amount so deducted by the particular partnership, in computing its income for that taxation year, pursuant to the said paragraph a of section 130 or the said second paragraph of section 130.1 and, as the case may be, of the amount so deducted by the other partnership pursuant to the said paragraph a of section 130 or the said second paragraph of section 130.1 to the extent that it may reasonably be considered that the deduction of that amount by the other partnership contributed to the creation or increase of that share of the loss of the particular partnership for the particular taxation year which, but for this section, would have been determined in the said paragraph g; and

ii.  his share of the loss of the particular partnership for the particular taxation year which, but for this section, would be determined in paragraph g of section 600;

(c)  where the amount determined in subparagraph i of paragraph b for the particular year exceeds the amount referred to in subparagraph ii of the said paragraph for the same year, the excess amount is deemed to constitute the individual’s share of the income of the particular partnership for the particular taxation year;

(d)  where, for the particular taxation year, the individual would, but for this section, have neither a share of the income of the particular partnership nor a share of the loss of the particular partnership, he is deemed to have a share of the income of the particular partnership for the particular taxation year in an amount equal to the aggregate of his share of the amount so deducted by the particular partnership, in computing its income for that taxation year, pursuant to the said paragraph a of section 130 or the said second paragraph of section 130.1 and, as the case may be, of the amount so deducted by the other partnership under the said paragraph a of section 130 or the said second paragraph of section 130.1 to the extent that it may reasonably be considered that the deduction of that amount by the other partnership contributed to the cancellation of the individual’s share of the income of the particular partnership for the particular taxation year which, but for this section, would otherwise have been determined in paragraph f of section 600.

1989, c. 5, s. 74; 1990, c. 7, s. 19; 1997, c. 3, s. 71.

600.0.2. An individual’s share of the loss of a partnership, determined pursuant to section 600.0.1 for a fiscal period of the partnership at the end of which the individual was a member of the partnership, in this section referred to as “corrected loss”, shall not however exceed the proportion of at-risk amount of the individual in respect of the partnership at that date, within the meaning of sections 613.2 to 613.5, that his share of the corrected loss of the partnership which, but for this section, would be so determined under section 600.0.1 is of his share of the corrected loss of the partnership which, but for this section and section 600.0.1, would be determined under paragraph g of section 600.

1989, c. 5, s. 74; 1997, c. 3, s. 71.

600.0.3. Despite sections 231 and 600, where, in a particular taxation year of a taxpayer, the taxpayer is a member of a partnership with a fiscal period that ends in the particular year, the taxable capital gain, allowable capital loss or allowable business investment loss of the taxpayer for the particular year in respect of the partnership is determined by the formula

A × B / C.

In the formula provided for in the first paragraph,

(a)  A is the taxpayer’s taxable capital gain, allowable capital loss or allowable business investment loss, as the case may be, for the particular year in respect of the partnership that would, but for this section, be determined under section 600;

(b)  B is the fraction that applies under section 231 for the particular year in respect of the taxpayer; and

(c)  C is the fraction that is used under section 231 for the fiscal period of the partnership.

1990, c. 59, s. 212; 1997, c. 3, s. 71; 2003, c. 2, s. 137; 2004, c. 8, s. 126; 2019, c. 14, s. 159; 2022, c. 23, s. 36.

600.0.4. For the purposes of section 600.0.3, where the fraction referred to in subparagraph c of the second paragraph of that section cannot be determined by a taxpayer in respect of a fiscal period of a partnership that ended before 28 February 2000, or includes 28 February 2000 or 17 October 2000, the fraction is deemed to be

(a)  where the fiscal period ended before or began before 28 February 2000, 3/4;

(b)  where the fiscal period began after 27 February 2000 but before 18 October 2000, 2/3; and

(c)  in any other case, 1/2.

2003, c. 2, s. 138.

600.1. Subject to section 600.2, the share of a member of a partnership of any amount that would be an amount referred to in paragraph e of section 398, paragraph b or e of section 399, paragraph d of section 411, subparagraph i of paragraph b or paragraph c or h of section 412, paragraph d of section 418.5 or subparagraph i of paragraph b or paragraph c or e of section 418.6, in respect of the partnership for a taxation year of the partnership, but for paragraph d of section 600, is deemed to be an amount referred to in paragraph e of section 398, paragraph b or e of section 399, paragraph d of section 411, subparagraph of paragraph b or paragraph c or h of section 412, paragraph d of section 418.5 or subparagraph i of paragraph b or paragraph c or e of section 418.6, as the case may be, in respect of the member for the taxation year of the member in which the taxation year of the partnership ends.

1978, c. 26, s. 107; 1982, c. 5, s. 130; 1993, c. 16, s. 237; 1997, c. 3, s. 71.

600.2. However, where a person not resident in Canada is a member of a partnership that is deemed under section 1096.2 to have disposed of a property, the deemed amount in respect of the person under section 600.1 respecting section 411, 412, 418.5 or 418.6, as the case may be, is then so deemed for his taxation year that ended at the particular time referred to in section 1096.1.

1982, c. 5, s. 130; 1986, c. 19, s. 131; 1993, c. 16, s. 237; 1997, c. 3, s. 71; 2009, c. 5, s. 188.

601. If an individual who is a member of a partnership immediately before its dissolution, or who is a member of a partnership that, but for section 618, would have been dissolved at a particular time, makes a valid election under subsection 2 of section 99 of the Income Tax Act (R.S.C. 1985, c. 1 (5th Suppl.)) after 19 December 2006 in relation to a fiscal period of the partnership that is referred to in the third or fourth paragraph of section 7, the partnership’s fiscal period is deemed, for the purpose of computing the individual’s income, to have ended immediately before the time it would normally have ended if the partnership had continued to exist.

Chapter V.2 of Title II of Book I applies in relation to an election made under subsection 2 of section 99 of the Income Tax Act.

1972, c. 23, s. 456; 1978, c. 26, s. 108; 1996, c. 39, s. 164; 1997, c. 3, s. 71; 1997, c. 31, s. 56; 2009, c. 5, s. 189.

602. (Repealed).

602.1. If, at any time in a fiscal period of a partnership, a taxpayer ceases to be a member of the partnership, the following rules apply:

(a)  for the purposes of subparagraph b of the second paragraph of section 7, sections 217.2 to 217.9.1, 600, 607, 634 and 635 and despite section 643, the taxpayer is deemed to be a member of the partnership at the end of the fiscal period; and

(b)  for the purpose of applying subparagraphs i and viii of paragraph i of section 255, subparagraph i of paragraph l of section 257, section 261.2 and the second paragraph of section 613.1 to the taxpayer, the fiscal period of the partnership is deemed to end

i.  immediately before the time at which the taxpayer is deemed under section 436 to have disposed of the interest in the partnership, if the taxpayer ceased to be a member of the partnership because of the taxpayer’s death, and

ii.  immediately before the time that is immediately before the time that the taxpayer ceased to be a member of the partnership, in any other case.

2009, c. 5, s. 191; 2015, c. 21, s. 207.

603. Where a taxpayer who was a member of a partnership during a fiscal period has, for the purpose of computing the taxpayer’s income from the partnership for the fiscal period, entered into an agreement or made an election, a designation or a specification under the regulations made under section 104, under any of sections 96, 119.15, 156, 180 to 182, 230, 279, 280.3, 299, 485.6, 485.9 to 485.11, 485.42 to 485.52, 614, 832.23 and 832.24 or, because of subparagraph a of the second paragraph of section 614, under the first paragraph of section 522 that, but for this section, would be a valid agreement, designation, specification or election, as the case may be, the following rules apply:

(a)  the agreement, designation, specification or election is not valid unless it was entered into or made on behalf of the taxpayer and each other member of the partnership during the fiscal period and the taxpayer had authority to act for the partnership;

(b)  if the agreement, designation, specification or election is valid under paragraph a, each other member of the partnership during the fiscal period is deemed to have entered into the agreement or made the designation, specification or election, as the case may be; and

(c)  despite paragraph a, any agreement, designation, specification or election deemed to have been entered into or made, as the case may be, by a member under paragraph b is deemed to be a valid agreement, designation, specification or election entered into or made by that member.

1973, c. 17, s. 68; 1975, c. 22, s. 166; 1982, c. 5, s. 131; 1986, c. 19, s. 132; 1993, c. 16, s. 238; 1994, c. 22, s. 212; 1995, c. 1, s. 47; 1996, c. 39, s. 165; 1997, c. 3, s. 71; 1997, c. 31, s. 57; 1997, c. 85, s. 96; 2001, c. 7, s. 61; 2001, c. 53, s. 86; 2003, c. 9, s. 39; 2009, c. 5, s. 192; 2009, c. 15, s. 93; 2019, c. 14, s. 160.

603.1. If a SIFT partnership becomes liable to pay the tax provided for in Part III.17 for a taxation year, the following rules apply:

(a)  paragraph f of section 600 is to be read as if “the income of the partnership, for a taxation year, from any source in Canada or from sources in another place” was replaced by “the amount by which the partnership’s income for a taxation year from any source in Canada or from sources in another place exceeds, the portion, determined in respect of each such source, of the partnership’s taxable non-portfolio earnings for the year that is applicable to that source”; and

(b)  the SIFT partnership is deemed to have received a dividend in the taxation year from a taxable Canadian corporation equal to the amount by which the amount of the SIFT partnership’s taxable non-portfolio earnings for the taxation year exceeds the amount determined by the formula

A × (B + C).

In the formula in the first paragraph,

(a)  A is the amount of the SIFT partnership’s taxable non-portfolio earnings for the taxation year;

(b)  B is the basic rate determined in respect of the SIFT partnership for the taxation year under the third paragraph of section 1129.71 or, if the SIFT partnership has an establishment outside Québec in the year, the aggregate of the following rates:

i.  that basic rate represented by the proportion that its business carried on in Québec is of the aggregate of its business carried on in Canada or in Québec and elsewhere, as that proportion would be determined under Chapters I and II of Title XXVII of the Regulation respecting the Taxation Act (chapter I-3, r. 1) if the SIFT partnership were a corporation, and

ii.  the provincial SIFT tax rate, within the meaning assigned by subsection 1 of section 248 of the Income Tax Act (R.S.C. 1985, c. 1 (5th Suppl.)) and expressed as a percentage, that would be applicable to the SIFT partnership for the year if that definition applied in respect of the SIFT partnership for that year and if section 414 of the Income Tax Regulations made under that Act were read without reference to its subsection 4; and

(c)  C is the net corporate income tax rate, within the meaning assigned by subsection 1 of section 248 of the Income Tax Act and expressed as a percentage, that is applicable to the SIFT partnership for the taxation year.

For the purposes of this section, “taxable non-portfolio earnings” of a SIFT partnership has the meaning assigned by section 1129.70.

605.1. For the purposes of this Part, where at a particular time a person resident in Canada becomes a member of a partnership, or a person who is a member of a partnership becomes resident in Canada, and immediately before the particular time no member of the partnership is resident in Canada, the following rules apply for the purpose of computing the partnership’s income for fiscal periods ending after the particular time:

(a)  where, at or before the particular time, the partnership held depreciable property of a prescribed class, other than taxable Canadian property,

i.  no amount shall be included in determining the amounts under subparagraphs i, ii.1 and ii.2 of subparagraph e of the first paragraph of section 93 and under subparagraphs c to f of the second paragraph of that section in respect of the acquisition or disposition before the particular time of the property, and

ii.  where the property is the partnership’s property at the particular time, the property is deemed to have been acquired, immediately after the particular time, by the partnership at a capital cost equal to the lesser of its fair market value and its capital cost to the partnership otherwise determined;

605.2. For the purposes of section 605.1 and this section,

(b)  where at any time a particular partnership is a member of another partnership, the following rules apply:

i.  each person or partnership that is, at that time, a member of the particular partnership is deemed to be a member of the other partnership at that time,

ii.  each person or partnership that becomes a member of the particular partnership at that time is deemed to become a member of the other partnership at that time, and

iii.  each person or partnership that ceases to be a member of the particular partnership at that time is deemed to cease to be a member of the other partnership at that time.

CHAPTER II SHARING AGREEMENTS

1972, c. 23.

606. Section 607 applies where there is an agreement among the members of a partnership to share, according to an agreed proportion, any income or loss of the partnership from or arising out of any source in Canada or from sources in another place or any amount in respect of any activity of the partnership that is relevant to the computation of the income or taxable income of such members.

1972, c. 23, s. 458; 1975, c. 22, s. 168; 1997, c. 3, s. 71; 2009, c. 5, s. 194.

607. (1)  Where the principal purpose for an agreement contemplated in section 606 may reasonably be considered to be the reduction of the tax that might otherwise be or become payable under this Part of the postponement of such payment, the share of each member in the income, loss or amount that is the object of that agreement shall be the amount that is reasonable, having regard to all the circumstances including the proportions in which the members have agreed to share profits and losses from other sources in Canada or from sources in another place.

(1.1)  Where an agreement described in section 606 is entered into between members of a partnership not dealing with each other at arm’s length, the share of each member in the income, loss or amount that is the object of that agreement is the amount that is reasonable, having regard to the work performed for the partnership by its members, the capital invested therein by them or any other relevant factor.

(2)  For the purposes of this chapter, the word “losses” when used in the expression “profits and losses” means losses determined without reference to the other provisions of this Part.

1972, c. 23, s. 459; 1982, c. 5, s. 132; 1997, c. 3, s. 71.

608. For the purposes of sections 7 to 7.0.6, 217.2 to 217.34, 600, 607, 634 and 635, where the principal activity of a partnership is carrying on a business in Canada and its members have entered into an agreement to allocate a share of the income or loss of the partnership from any source in Canada or from sources in another place to any person described in section 609, that person is deemed to be a member of the partnership and the amount so allocated for a particular fiscal period of the partnership must be included in computing the person’s income for the taxation year in which that fiscal period of the partnership ends.

1975, c. 22, s. 169; 1997, c. 3, s. 71; 1997, c. 31, s. 58; 2000, c. 5, s. 293; 2013, c. 10, s. 37.

609. The person to whom section 608 applies is:

(a)  a taxpayer who at any time ceased to be a member of the partnership described therein or of any other partnership that has been dissolved at any time, or would, but for section 618, have been dissolved, where the members thereof or the members of a third partnership in which a member of such other partnership became a member immediately after the other partnership was dissolved, have entered into an agreement described in section 608 in favour of the taxpayer or of any person described in paragraph b; and

(b)  the spouse, succession or legatee by particular title of the taxpayer referred to in paragraph a or a person referred to in section 611.

610. A taxpayer who, in a taxation year, disposes of a right to a share of the income or loss of a partnership under an agreement referred to in section 608 shall include in computing his income for the year the proceeds of the disposition and he is deemed to have acquired each property received as consideration for its fair market value at the time of such disposition.

1975, c. 22, s. 169; 1997, c. 3, s. 71.

611. A taxpayer who has included an amount in computing his income for the year by virtue of section 608 or 610 may deduct for the year the lesser of such amount and the amount by which the cost to him of the right to a share of the income or loss of a partnership under an agreement referred to in section 608 exceeds the aggregate of the amounts in respect of that right that were deductible by virtue of this section in computing his income for previous taxation years.

1975, c. 22, s. 169; 1997, c. 3, s. 71.

612. For the purposes of this Part, a right to a share of the income or loss of a partnership under an agreement referred to in section 608 is deemed not to be capital property and sections 429 and 430 apply with respect to such a right that a taxpayer had at his death.

1975, c. 22, s. 169; 1997, c. 3, s. 71.

612.1. Where a partnership carries on a business in Québec at any time during a taxation year, each taxpayer who is deemed to be a member of the partnership under section 608 is deemed, for the purposes of section 25, to carry on that business in Québec at any time during the year.

1994, c. 22, s. 213; 1997, c. 3, s. 71.

CHAPTER II.1 TAXPAYER’S AT-RISK AMOUNT

1988, c. 4, s. 40.

613.1. Despite section 600, where a taxpayer is, at any time in a taxation year, a limited partner of a partnership, the amount by which the aggregate of all amounts each of which is the taxpayer’s share of the amount of any loss of the partnership for a fiscal period of the partnership ending in the taxation year from a business (other than a farming business) or from property, determined in accordance with section 600, exceeds the amount determined under the second paragraph must not be deducted in computing the taxpayer’s income for the year, must not be included in computing the taxpayer’s non-capital loss for the year, and

(a)  where the taxpayer is not a partnership, is deemed to be the taxpayer’s limited partnership loss in respect of the partnership for the year; or

(b)  where the taxpayer is a partnership, must reduce the taxpayer’s share of any loss of the partnership for a fiscal period of the partnership ending in the taxation year of the taxpayer from a business (other than a farming business) or from property.

The amount referred to in the first paragraph is the amount, if any, by which the at-risk amount of the taxpayer in respect of the partnership at the end of its fiscal period exceeds the aggregate of

(a)  the amount required by subsection 8 of section 127 of the Income Tax Act (R.S.C. 1985, c. 1 (5th Suppl.)) in respect of the partnership to be added in the year in computing the investment tax credit of the taxpayer for the year within the meaning assigned to that expression by the said Act for the purposes of the said subsection;

(b)  the taxpayer’s share of any losses of the partnership for the fiscal period from a farming business; and

(c)  the taxpayer’s share of the foreign resource pool expenses, Canadian exploration expense, Canadian development expense and Canadian oil and gas property expense incurred by the partnership in the fiscal period.

1988, c. 4, s. 40; 1989, c. 5, s. 75; 1997, c. 3, s. 71; 2004, c. 8, s. 127; 2021, c. 14, s. 51.

613.1.1. Where the taxation year of a taxpayer ends after 26 February 2018, the following rules apply:

(a)  for the purposes of sections 727 to 737, the taxpayer’s non-capital loss, or limited partnership loss in respect of a partnership, for a preceding taxation year must be determined as if section 599.1 and subparagraph b of the first paragraph of section 613.1 applied in respect of a taxation year that ends before 27 February 2018; and

(b)  in computing the adjusted cost base of the taxpayer’s interest in a partnership after 26 February 2018, the taxpayer shall add an amount equal to the portion of the amount that, because of paragraph a, must reduce the taxpayer’s non-capital loss that can reasonably be considered to be attributable to the amount of a loss deducted under subparagraph i of paragraph l of section 257 in computing the adjusted cost base of that interest.

2021, c. 14, s. 52.

613.2. For the purposes of sections 600, 600.0.3, 600.0.4, 602.1, 603 to 605.2, 608 to 613.10 and 727 to 737, the at-risk amount of a taxpayer, in respect of a partnership of which the taxpayer is a limited partner, at any particular time is the amount by which the aggregate of the following amounts exceeds the amount determined under section 613.3:

(a)  the adjusted cost base to the taxpayer of his partnership interest at that time, computed in accordance with section 613.5, where applicable;

(b)  where the particular time is the end of the fiscal period of the partnership, the aggregate of

i.  the taxpayer’s share of the income of the partnership from a particular source for that fiscal period, computed under the method described in subparagraph i of paragraph i of section 255, and

ii.  the amount referred to in subparagraph viii of paragraph i of section 255 in respect of the taxpayer for that fiscal period.

1988, c. 4, s. 40; 1990, c. 59, s. 213; 1997, c. 3, s. 71; 2001, c. 7, s. 62; 2022, c. 23, s. 37.

613.3. The amount referred to in section 613.2 is equal to the aggregate of the following amounts:

(a)  the aggregate of all amounts each of which is an amount owing at the particular time to the partnership, or to a person or partnership not dealing at arm’s length with the partnership, by the taxpayer or by a person or partnership not dealing at arm’s length with the taxpayer, other than any amount deducted under subparagraph i.3 of paragraph l of section 257 in computing the adjusted cost base, or under Title VIII of Book VI in computing the cost, to the taxpayer of the taxpayer’s partnership interest at that time; and

(b)  any amount or benefit that the taxpayer or a person not dealing at arm’s length with the taxpayer is entitled, either immediately or in the future and either absolutely or contingently, to receive or to obtain, whether by way of reimbursement, compensation, revenue guarantee, proceeds of disposition, loan or any other form of indebtedness, or in any other form or manner whatever, granted or to be granted for the purpose of reducing the impact, in whole or in part, of any loss that the taxpayer may sustain because the taxpayer is a member of the partnership or holds or disposes of an interest in the partnership, except to the extent that the amount or benefit is referred to in paragraph e of section 399, paragraph h of section 412 or paragraph e of section 418.6 in respect of the taxpayer, or the entitlement arises

i.  by virtue of a contract of insurance with an insurance corporation dealing at arm’s length with each member of the partnership under which the taxpayer is insured against any claim arising as a result of a liability incurred in the ordinary course of carrying on the partnership business;

ii.  (subparagraph repealed);

iii.  as a consequence of the death of the taxpayer;

iv.  (subparagraph repealed);

v.  (subparagraph repealed);

vi.  in respect of an amount not included in the at-risk amount of the taxpayer in respect of the partnership determined without reference to this paragraph; or

vii.  by reason of an excluded obligation, within the meaning of the regulations made under section 359.1, in relation to a share issued to the partnership by a corporation.

1988, c. 4, s. 40; 1988, c. 18, s. 50; 1993, c. 16, s. 239; 1995, c. 63, s. 46; 1996, c. 39, s. 166; 1997, c. 3, s. 71; 1997, c. 31, s. 60; 2001, c. 7, s. 63.

613.4. For the purposes of sections 613.2 and 613.3,

(a)  the amount or benefit to which the taxpayer referred to in section 613.2, or a person not dealing at arm’s length with the taxpayer, is at any time entitled and that is provided by way of an agreement or other arrangement under which the taxpayer or the person has a right, either immediately or in the future and either absolutely or contingently, otherwise than as a consequence of the death of the taxpayer, to acquire other property in exchange for all or any part of the taxpayer’s interest in the partnership referred to in that section shall not be considered to be less than the fair market value of the other property at that time; and

(b)  the amount or benefit to which the taxpayer or the person is at any time entitled and that is provided by way of a guarantee, security or similar covenant in respect of any loan or other obligation of the taxpayer or the person shall not be considered to be less than the aggregate of the unpaid amount of the loan or obligation at that time and all other amounts outstanding in respect of the loan or obligation at that time.

1988, c. 4, s. 40; 1997, c. 3, s. 71; 2001, c. 7, s. 64.

613.5. For the purposes of sections 613.2 to 613.4, where a taxpayer has acquired his partnership interest at any time from a transferor other than the partnership, the adjusted cost base to the taxpayer of that interest shall be computed as if the cost to him of the interest were the lesser of

(a)  his cost otherwise determined, and

(b)  the greater of the adjusted cost base of that interest to the transferor immediately before that time, and nil.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, where the adjusted cost base to the transferor cannot be determined, it is deemed to be equal to the aggregate of the amounts determined in respect of the taxpayer under paragraphs a and b of section 613.3 immediately after that time.

1988, c. 4, s. 40; 1997, c. 3, s. 71.

613.6.

(a)  by operation of any law governing the partnership arrangement, the liability of the member as a member of the partnership is limited, except by operation of a provision of a statute of Canada or a province that limits the member’s liability only for debts and other obligations of the partnership, or any member of the partnership, arising from the misconduct or faults or omissions or negligent acts that another member of the partnership or an employee, agent or mandatary, or representative of that member or of the partnership commits in the course of the partnership’s business while the partnership is a limited liability partnership referred to in that provision;

(b)  the member or a person not dealing at arm’s length with the member is entitled, either immediately or in the future and either absolutely or contingently, to receive an amount or to obtain a benefit that would be described in paragraph b of section 613.3 if that paragraph were read without reference to subparagraphs ii, as it applies before being struck out, and vi thereof;

(c)  where the member who owns the interest is a corporation, partnership or trust, one of the reasons for the existence of the member can reasonably be considered to be to limit the liability of any person with respect to that interest, and cannot reasonably be considered to be to permit any person who has an interest in the corporation, partnership or trust, as the case may be, to carry on that person’s business, other than an investment business, in the most effective manner; or

(d)  one of the main reasons for the existence of an agreement or other arrangement for the disposition of an interest in the partnership can reasonably be considered to be to attempt to avoid the application of this section to the member.

1988, c. 4, s. 40; 1997, c. 3, s. 71; 2001, c. 7, s. 65; 2003, c. 2, s. 139; 2022, c. 23, s. 38.

613.7. For the purposes of section 613.6, an exempt interest in a partnership at any time means a prescribed partnership interest or an interest in a partnership that was actively carrying on business on a regular and a continuous basis immediately before 26 February 1986 and continuously thereafter until that time or that was earning income from the rental or leasing of property immediately before 26 February 1986 and continuously thereafter until that time, where there has not after 25 February 1986 and before that time been a substantial contribution of capital to the partnership or a substantial increase in the indebtedness of the partnership and, for this purpose, an amount will not be considered to be substantial where

(a)  the amount was used by the partnership to make an expenditure required to be made pursuant to the terms of a written agreement entered into by it before 26 February 1986, or to repay a loan, debt or contribution of capital that had been received or incurred in respect of any such expenditure;

(b)  the amount was raised pursuant to the terms of a final prospectus, preliminary prospectus or registration statement filed before 26 February 1986 with a public authority in Canada pursuant to and in accordance with the securities legislation of Canada or of any province, and, where required by law, accepted for filing by such public authority; or

(c)  the amount was used for the activity that was carried on by the partnership on 25 February 1986 but was not used for a significant expansion of the activity.

1988, c. 4, s. 40; 1997, c. 3, s. 71; 2001, c. 53, s. 88.

613.8. For the purposes of section 613.7, the following rules apply:

613.9. For the purposes of paragraph a of section 613.3, where at any time an amount owing by a taxpayer or a person with whom the taxpayer does not deal at arm’s length is repaid and it is established, by subsequent events or otherwise, that the repayment was made as part of a series of loans or other transactions and repayments, the amount owing is deemed not to have been repaid.

1988, c. 4, s. 40.

613.10. For the purposes of paragraph a of section 613.2, where at any time a taxpayer makes a contribution of capital to a partnership and the partnership or a person or partnership with whom the partnership does not deal at arm’s length makes a loan to the taxpayer or to a person with whom the taxpayer does not deal at arm’s length or repays the contribution of capital, and it is established, by subsequent events or otherwise, that the loan or repayment, as the case may be, was made as part of a series of loans or other transactions and repayments, the contribution of capital is deemed not to have been made to the extent of the loan or repayment, as the case may be.

CHAPTER III CONTRIBUTION OF PROPERTY

1972, c. 23.

614. Where at a particular time after 1971 a partnership acquires property from a taxpayer who is, immediately after such acquisition, a member of the partnership, it is deemed to acquire it at its fair market value at that time and the member is deemed to dispose of it for proceeds equal to such value.

Despite any other provision of this Part, other than section 93.3.1 and the third paragraph, where a taxpayer disposes of any property (other than an eligible derivative, within the meaning of section 85.8, of the taxpayer if subparagraph b of the first paragraph of section 85.7 applies to the taxpayer) that is a capital property, Canadian resource property, foreign resource property or inventory to a partnership that, immediately after the disposition, is a Canadian partnership of which the taxpayer is a member, and the taxpayer and all the other members of the partnership make a valid election for the purposes of subsection 2 of section 97 of the Income Tax Act (R.S.C. 1985, c. 1 (5th Suppl.)) in respect of the disposition or, where that election cannot be made because of subsection 21.2 of section 13 of that Act, make an election, in the prescribed form referred to in the first paragraph of section 520.1, the following rules apply:

iv.  except in the second paragraph of section 522 and in section 526, any other occurrence of the word “corporation” by the word “partnership”, and

v.  in the portion of subparagraph a of the third paragraph of section 520.1 before subparagraph i, the words “the taxation year which, of the taxation years of those persons, ends the latest” by the words “that taxation year of the taxpayer or the fiscal period of the partnership in which the disposition was made, whichever year or period in the latter case ends later”;

(a.1)  (subparagraph repealed);

(b)  in computing, after the disposition, the adjusted cost base of the taxpayer’s interest in the partnership immediately after the disposition, the taxpayer shall

i.  add the amount by which the taxpayer’s proceeds of disposition of the property exceed the fair market value at the time of the disposition, of the consideration other than an interest in the partnership, received by the taxpayer for the property, and

ii.  deduct the amount by which the fair market value, at the time of the disposition, of the consideration other than an interest in the partnership, received by the taxpayer for the property exceeds the fair market value of the property at that time; and

(c)  where the taxpayer so disposes of any taxable Canadian property or any taxable Québec property as consideration for an interest in the partnership, the interest is deemed to be also, at any time that is within 60 months after the disposition, a taxable Canadian property or a taxable Québec property, as the case may be.

The second paragraph does not apply in respect of a disposition of a property by a taxpayer to a partnership if

(a)  as part of a transaction or event or series of transactions or events that includes the disposition

i.  control of a taxable Canadian corporation is acquired by another taxable Canadian corporation (in this paragraph referred to as the “subsidiary” and the “parent”, respectively),

ii.  the subsidiary is amalgamated with one or more other corporations in the course of an amalgamation to which section 550.9 applies or is wound up in accordance with Chapter VII of Title IX, and

iii.  the parent designates an amount in accordance with paragraph d of subsection 1 of section 88 of the Income Tax Act in respect of an interest in a partnership;

(b)  the disposition of the property occurs after the acquisition of control of the subsidiary;

(c)  the property is a capital property whose disposition may not be the subject of a valid election for the purposes of subsection 2 of section 97 of the Income Tax Act because of subsection 21.2 of section 13 of that Act but could, in the absence of this paragraph, be the subject of an election under the second paragraph given the inapplicability of section 93.3.1 in respect of the disposition; and

(d)  the subsidiary is the taxpayer or has, before the disposition of the property, directly or indirectly in any manner whatever, an interest in the taxpayer.

1972, c. 23, s. 460; 1975, c. 22, s. 170; 1984, c. 15, s. 132; 1986, c. 19, s. 133; 1997, c. 3, s. 71; 1997, c. 31, s. 153; 1997, c. 85, s. 98; 2000, c. 5, s. 136; 2002, c. 40, s. 43; 2003, c. 9, s. 40; 2004, c. 8, s. 128; 2005, c. 1, s. 122; 2009, c. 5, s. 195; 2011, c. 6, s. 138; 2011, c. 34, s. 32; 2015, c. 21, s. 209; 2019, c. 14, s. 162; 2020, c. 16, s. 90; 2021, c. 18, s. 48.

614.1. Except for the purposes of this section, where a property is disposed of to a partnership before 26 March 1997 by a taxpayer, the second paragraph of section 614 and Divisions I to III of Chapter IV of Title IX, as they read in respect of property disposed of on 26 March 1997 and not as they read in respect of the disposition, apply in respect of the disposition where

(a)  the disposition is made after 18 December 1996, or is part of a series of transactions or events that began before 19 December 1996 and ended after 18 December 1996; and

(b)  it may not reasonably be considered that all or substantially all of an excess amount is attributable to the difference between the cost amount of the property to the taxpayer, immediately before the disposition, for the purposes of this Part and the cost amount of the property to the taxpayer, at that time, for the purposes of Part I of the Income Tax Act (Revised Statutes of Canada, 1985, chapter 1, 5th Supplement), where that excess amount is

i.  the amount by which the taxpayer’s income for the taxation year in which the disposition is made is reduced by reason of the application of the second paragraph of section 614 in respect of the disposition, exceeds the amount, if any, by which the taxpayer’s income for that year, established for the purposes of Part I of the Income Tax Act, is reduced by reason of the application of subsection 2 of section 97 of that Act in respect of the disposition, or

ii.  the amount by which the cost amount of the property to the partnership, immediately after the disposition, for the purposes of this Part, exceeds the cost amount of the property to the partnership established at that time for the purposes of Part I of the Income Tax Act.

However, the first paragraph does not apply where the disposition is of property in respect of which section 522, as it reads in respect of property disposed of on 26 March 1997, would apply if

(a)  the disposition had been made on 26 March 1997;

(b)  where the election referred to in the second paragraph of section 614, as that paragraph reads in respect of property disposed of on 26 March 1997, was not made in respect of the disposition, the election had been made for an amount agreed on equal to the fair market value of the property at the time of the disposition; and

(c)  an amount had been agreed on in respect of the property in the prescribed form for the purposes of that section 522, and was equal to the amount agreed on in its respect in the election made under the second paragraph of section 614, as that paragraph reads in respect of the disposition, or to the fair market value of the property at the time of the disposition if no election were made.

617. For the purposes of sections 93 to 104, 130 and 130.1 and of the regulations made under paragraph a of section 130, where the second paragraph of section 614 applies to depreciable property the capital cost of which, to the taxpayer who disposed of it to the partnership, exceeds the proceeds of its disposition:

(a)  the capital cost of the property, to the partnership, is deemed to be equal to the capital cost of the property to the taxpayer; and

(b)  the excess is deemed to have been allowed to the partnership as depreciation for the taxation years preceding the acquisition of that property by it.

1972, c. 23, s. 463; 1974, c. 18, s. 24; 1979, c. 18, s. 50; 1997, c. 3, s. 71.

617.1. Where the second paragraph of section 614 has applied in respect of the disposition of any property by an individual to a partnership, the cost of the property to the individual was included in computing an amount determined under section 75.2.1 or 75.3 in respect of the individual, the property is depreciable property of the partnership, and the amount, in this section referred to as the “individual’s original cost”, that would be the cost of the property to the individual immediately before its disposition if this Act were read without reference to section 75.5 exceeds the individual’s proceeds of disposition of the property, the following rules apply:

(a)  the capital cost to the partnership of the property is deemed to be equal to the individual’s original cost; and

(b)  the amount by which the individual’s original cost exceeds the individual’s proceeds of disposition of the property is deemed to have been allowed to the partnership as depreciation in respect of the property for taxation years that end before the time of disposition.

2004, c. 8, s. 129; 2007, c. 12, s. 68.

CHAPTER IV DISPOSITION OF PROPERTY

DIVISION I GENERALITIES

1972, c. 23.

618. For the purposes of this Part, where, but for this section, at any time after 31 December 1971 a partnership would be dissolved, the following rules apply:

(a)  until such time as all the partnership property and any property substituted therefor has been distributed to the persons entitled by law to receive it, the partnership is deemed to continue to exist, and each person who was a member of the partnership is deemed to still be a member of the partnership;

(b)  the right of each such person to share in that property is deemed to be an interest in the partnership; and

(c)  notwithstanding section 261, where at the end of a fiscal period of the partnership, in respect of an interest in the partnership, the aggregate of all amounts required by section 257, to be deducted in computing the adjusted cost base to a taxpayer of the interest at that time exceeds the aggregate of the cost to the taxpayer of the interest determined for the purpose of computing the adjusted cost base to the taxpayer of that interest at that time and all amounts required by section 255 to be added to the cost to the taxpayer of the interest in computing the adjusted cost base to the taxpayer of that interest at that time, the amount of the excess is deemed to be a gain of the taxpayer for the taxpayer’s taxation year that includes that time from a disposition at that time of that interest and, for the purposes of Title VI.5.1 of Book IV, that interest is deemed to have been disposed of by the taxpayer at that time.

1972, c. 23, s. 464; 1977, c. 26, s. 66; 1996, c. 39, s. 168; 1997, c. 3, s. 71.

619. Subject to sections 529 to 533 and 620 to 631, a partnership disposing, at a particular time after 1971, of property to a taxpayer who is, immediately before such time, one of its members, is deemed to have received therefrom proceeds equal to its fair market value at that time and the taxpayer is deemed to have acquired the property at that same value.

1972, c. 23, s. 465; 1975, c. 22, s. 171; 1997, c. 3, s. 71.

619.1. For the purposes of sections 622, 623, 628 and 629, a leasehold interest in a depreciable property and an option to acquire a depreciable property are deemed to be depreciable properties.

DIVISION II DISSOLUTION OF THE PARTNERSHIP

1972, c. 23; 1997, c. 3, s. 71.

620. The rules provided in this division apply where, at a particular time after 1971, a Canadian partnership is dissolved and its property is distributed to persons who were members thereof immediately before that time.

The rules referred to in the first paragraph apply only if each of those persons has in each such property, immediately after that time, an undivided right equal, when expressed as a percentage, to the person’s undivided right, when so expressed, in each other property of the partnership and if all those persons make a valid election for the purposes of subsection 3 of section 98 of the Income Tax Act (R.S.C. 1985, c. 1 (5th Suppl.)) in respect of the property.

The percentage of the undivided right of each member of the partnership shall be referred to, in this division, as his share.

1972, c. 23, s. 466; 1975, c. 22, s. 172; 1984, c. 35, s. 16; 1997, c. 3, s. 71; 1997, c. 85, s. 100; 2020, c. 16, s. 92; 2021, c. 36, s. 71.

620.1. Where the rules provided for in this division apply in respect of the dissolution of a partnership, the prescribed form must be sent to the Minister.

In addition, where the form is not sent to the Minister on or before the date that is the earliest of the filing-due dates for the persons referred to in section 620 in respect of the dissolution, for the taxation year in which the dissolution occurred, those persons incur a penalty equal to the lesser of

(a)  0.25%, for each month or part of a month during the period from the earliest date of those filing-due dates until the day on which the form is sent to the Minister, of the amount by which the aggregate of the amounts of money and the fair market value of partnership property received by those persons as consideration for the disposition of their interests in the partnership at the time the partnership is dissolved, exceeds the aggregate of the proceeds of disposition determined in respect of each of those persons under section 621; and

(b)  the lesser of $5,000 and the product obtained by multiplying $100 by the number of months each of which is a month all or part of which is during the period referred to in subparagraph a.

Notwithstanding sections 1010 to 1011, such assessments of tax, interest and penalties under this Part shall be made as are necessary by the Minister for any taxation year to give effect to the rules provided for in this division in respect of the dissolution of partnerships.

1997, c. 85, s. 101; 2000, c. 39, s. 37.

621. Each person contemplated in section 620 is deemed to receive, as proceeds of disposition of his interest in the partnership, an amount equal to the greater of:

(a)  the adjusted cost base of his interest in the partnership, immediately before the particular time; and

(b)  the amount of any money received by him on the dissolution of the partnership and of his share of the cost amount, to the partnership, of each of its properties, immediately before their distribution.

1972, c. 23, s. 467; 1997, c. 3, s. 71.

622. The cost to each person to whom section 620 applies of an undivided right in each property of the partnership is deemed to be equal to that person’s share of the cost amount to the partnership of the property immediately before its distribution, plus, where the property is a non-depreciable capital property and the amount determined under paragraph a of section 621 in respect of that person exceeds the aggregate determined under paragraph b of section 621 in respect of that person, the portion of such excess designated by that person.

1972, c. 23, s. 468; 1988, c. 18, s. 51; 1994, c. 22, s. 214; 1997, c. 3, s. 71; 2003, c. 2, s. 140; 2005, c. 1, s. 123; 2019, c. 14, s. 163; 2020, c. 16, s. 93.

623. The amount designated under section 622 by a person contemplated in section 620 shall not exceed the excess of his share of the fair market value of the property concerned, immediately after its distribution, over his share of the cost amount of that property, to the partnership, immediately before its distribution.

Likewise, the aggregate of such designated amounts shall not exceed, in the case of non-depreciable capital property, the excess contemplated in section 622.

1972, c. 23, s. 469; 1988, c. 18, s. 52; 1997, c. 3, s. 71; 2019, c. 14, s. 164.

624. For the purposes of sections 93 to 104, 130 and 130.1 and of the regulations made under paragraph a of section 130, where depreciable property of a prescribed class is distributed and the share of a person contemplated in section 620 in the capital cost of that property to the partnership exceeds the cost, to the person, of the person’s undivided right in that property, as determined under section 622, the following rules apply:

(a)  the capital cost, to the person, of the person’s undivided right in the property is deemed to be equal to the person’s former share of the capital cost of such property to the partnership; and

(b)  the excess is deemed to have been allowed to the person as depreciation for the taxation years before the acquisition by the person of the undivided right.

1972, c. 23, s. 470; 1979, c. 18, s. 51; 1997, c. 3, s. 71; 2020, c. 16, s. 94.

625. The partnership contemplated in section 620 is deemed to dispose of each of its properties for proceeds equal to the cost amount of the property, to such partnership, immediately before its distribution.

1972, c. 23, s. 471; 1997, c. 3, s. 71.

DIVISION III BUSINESS CARRIED ON AS SOLE PROPRIETORSHIP

1972, c. 23.

626. (1)  The rules provided in this division apply where, at a particular time after 1971, a Canadian partnership is dissolved and, within three months after that time, one only of the persons who were members of the partnership immediately before such time carries on itself the business formerly carried on by the partnership.

(2)  However, the rules contemplated in subsection 1 do not apply unless such person, whether an individual, a trust or a corporation, uses, in the business, any property that was partnership property immediately before that time and that was received by him as proceeds of disposition of his interest in the partnership.

1972, c. 23, s. 472; 1975, c. 22, s. 173; 1997, c. 3, s. 71.

627. The person contemplated in section 626 is deemed to receive, as consideration for the disposition of his interest in the partnership, an amount equal to the greater of:

(a)  the aggregate of the adjusted cost base of his interest in the partnership immediately before the particular time, and the adjusted cost base to him of each other interest in the partnership deemed under section 632 to have been acquired by him at the particular time; and

(b)  the aggregate of the cost amount, to the partnership, immediately before the particular time, of each property so received by that person and of the amount of any other proceeds from the disposition of his interest in the partnership.

1972, c. 23, s. 473; 1975, c. 22, s. 174; 1993, c. 16, s. 240; 1997, c. 3, s. 71.

628. The cost to a person to whom section 626 applies of a property so received is deemed to be equal to the cost amount to a partnership of the property immediately before the particular time, plus, where the property is a non-depreciable capital property of that person and the aggregate determined under paragraph a of section 627 exceeds the aggregate determined under paragraph b of section 627, the portion of such excess designated by that person.

1972, c. 23, s. 474; 1975, c. 22, s. 175; 1988, c. 18, s. 53; 1994, c. 22, s. 216; 1997, c. 3, s. 71; 2003, c. 2, s. 142; 2005, c. 1, s. 125; 2019, c. 14, s. 166.

629. The amount designated under section 628 shall not exceed the excess of the fair market value of the property concerned, immediately after the particular time, over its cost amount to the partnership immediately before that time.

Likewise, the aggregate of such designated amounts shall not exceed, in the case of non-depreciable capital property, the excess contemplated in section 628.

1972, c. 23, s. 475; 1973, c. 17, s. 69; 1988, c. 18, s. 54; 1997, c. 3, s. 71; 2019, c. 14, s. 167.

630. For the purposes of sections 93 to 104, 130 and 130.1 and of the regulations made under paragraph a of section 130, where property received by a person contemplated in section 626 is depreciable property of a prescribed class and where its capital cost to the partnership exceeds its capital cost, to such person, as determined under section 628,

(a)  the capital cost to him of the property is deemed to be the capital cost of the property to the partnership; and

(b)  the excess is deemed to have been allowed to that person as depreciation for the taxation years before its acquisition by him.

DIVISION IV BUSINESS CONTINUED BY A NEW PARTNERSHIP

1972, c. 23; 1997, c. 3, s. 71.

633. Where a Canadian partnership is dissolved at a particular time after 1971 and, at or before that time, all of its property has been transferred to another Canadian partnership all the members of which were members of the dissolved partnership, such new partnership is deemed to be a continuation of the dissolved partnership and any member’s interest in the new partnership is deemed to be a continuation of his interest in the dissolved partnership.

1972, c. 23, s. 478; 1997, c. 3, s. 71.

DIVISION V DISPOSITION OF FARMING LAND

1972, c. 23.

634. Any taxpayer who was a member of a partnership at the end of a taxation year of the partnership in which it disposed of land used in a farming business may deduct, in computing his income for his taxation year in which the taxation year of the partnership ended, subject to section 635.1, 1/2 of the aggregate of amounts each of which is an amount equal to the taxpayer’s loss from the farming business for such taxation year or any preceding taxation year ending after 31 December 1971.

1972, c. 23, s. 479; 1990, c. 59, s. 215; 1997, c. 3, s. 71; 2003, c. 2, s. 144.

635. The taxpayer shall not make the deduction provided for in section 634 except to the extent that such loss:

(a)  is not deductible in computing his income for the year under sections 205 to 207;

(b)  was not deducted in computing his taxable income for his taxation year in which the partnership’s taxation year in which the land was disposed of ended or for any previous taxation year;

(c)  does not exceed his share of the aggregate of the following amounts, to the extent that those amounts are included in computing the loss of the partnership from the farming business for its taxation year ending in the year:

(1)  taxes, other than income or profits taxes or taxes imposed by reference to the transfer of the property, paid by the partnership in its taxation year ending in the year or payable by it in respect of that taxation year to a province or a Canadian municipality in respect of the property, and

(2)  interest paid by the partnership in its taxation year ending in the year or payable by it in respect of that taxation year, pursuant to a legal obligation to pay interest on borrowed money used to acquire the property or on any amount as consideration payable for the property; and

(d)  does not exceed the amount obtained by subtracting from, subject to section 635.1, twice the taxpayer’s taxable capital gain from the disposition of the land contemplated in section 634 the aggregate of his losses from the farming business for taxation years preceding the year which must be included in computing the amount deductible under this division in respect of the taxpayer.

1972, c. 23, s. 480; 1985, c. 25, s. 105; 1990, c. 59, s. 216; 1995, c. 49, s. 150; 1997, c. 3, s. 71; 2003, c. 2, s. 145.

635.1. Where the taxation year of the taxpayer includes 28 February 2000 or 17 October 2000, or begins after 28 February 2000 and ends before 17 October 2000, the following rules apply:

(a)  the reference to the fraction “1/2” in section 634 shall be read as a reference to the fraction in paragraphs a to d of section 231.0.1 that applies to the taxpayer for the year; and

(b)  the reference to the word “twice” in paragraph d of section 635 shall be read, with the necessary modifications, as a reference to the fraction that is the reciprocal of the fraction in paragraphs a to d of section 231.0.1 that applies to the taxpayer for the year.

2003, c. 2, s. 146.

CHAPTER V DISPOSITION OF AN INTEREST IN A PARTNERSHIP

1972, c. 23; 1997, c. 3, s. 71.

636. The rules provided for in paragraphs a to c of section 645 apply where, by virtue of the death of an individual, a taxpayer acquires a property that was an interest in a partnership immediately before the individual’s death, other than an interest to which section 639 to 644 applied, and the taxpayer is not a member of the partnership and does not become a member of such partnership by reason of such acquisition.

1977, c. 26, s. 67; 1997, c. 3, s. 71.

637. If, as part of a transaction or event or series of transactions or events, a taxpayer disposes of an interest in a particular partnership and an interest in the partnership is acquired by a person or partnership described in any of paragraphs a to d of section 637.1, the taxpayer’s taxable capital gain from the disposition of the interest is deemed, despite section 231, to be equal to the total of

(a)  subject to the second paragraph, 1/2 of the portion of the taxpayer’s capital gain for the year from the disposition that can reasonably be attributed to the increase in the value of a property of the particular partnership that is capital property (other than depreciable property) held directly or indirectly by the particular partnership through one or more other partnerships; and

(b)  the whole of the remaining portion of such capital gain.

However, where the taxation year of the taxpayer includes 28 February 2000 or 17 October 2000, or begins after 28 February 2000 and ends before 17 October 2000, the reference to the fraction “1/2” in subparagraph a of the first paragraph, as it read in respect of that taxation year, is to be read as a reference to the fraction in paragraphs a to d of section 231.0.1 that applies to the taxpayer for the year.

1972, c. 23, s. 481; 1984, c. 15, s. 134; 1990, c. 59, s. 217; 1997, c. 3, s. 71; 2003, c. 2, s. 147; 2015, c. 21, s. 210; 2020, c. 16, s. 95.

637.1. Subject to section 637.2, section 637 applies in respect of a disposition of a partnership interest by a taxpayer if the interest is acquired by

(a)  a person exempt from tax under sections 980 to 999.1;

(b)  a person not resident in Canada;

(c)  another partnership to the extent that the interest can reasonably be considered to be held, at the time of its acquisition by the other partnership, indirectly through one or more partnerships, by a person that is

i.  a person exempt from tax under sections 980 to 999.1,

ii.  a person not resident in Canada, or

iii.  a trust resident in Canada (other than a mutual fund trust) if

(1)  an interest as a beneficiary under the trust is held, directly or indirectly through one or more other partnerships, by a person exempt from tax under sections 980 to 999.1 or by a trust (other than a mutual fund trust), and

(2)  the fair market value of all the interests as beneficiaries under the trust held by persons referred to in subparagraph 1 exceeds 10% of the fair market value of all the interests as beneficiaries under the trust; or

(d)  a trust resident in Canada (other than a mutual fund trust) to the extent that the trust can reasonably be considered to have a beneficiary that is

i.  a person exempt from tax under sections 980 to 999.1,

ii.  a partnership, if

(1)  an interest in the partnership is held, whether directly or indirectly through one or more other partnerships, by one or more persons exempt from tax under sections 980 to 999.1 or by one or more trusts (other than mutual fund trusts), and

(2)  the fair market value of all the interests in the partnership held by persons referred to in subparagraph 1 exceeds 10% of the fair market value of all the interests in the partnership, or

iii.  another trust (other than a mutual fund trust), if

(1)  at least one beneficiary under the other trust is a person exempt from tax under sections 980 to 999.1, a partnership or a trust (other than a mutual fund trust), and

(2)  the fair market value of all the interests as beneficiaries under the other trust held by the persons referred to in subparagraph 1 exceeds 10% of the fair market value of all the interests as beneficiaries under the other trust.

2015, c. 21, s. 211.

637.2. Section 637 does not apply in respect of a taxpayer’s disposition of a partnership interest to a partnership or trust described in paragraph c or d of section 637.1 if the extent to which section 637 would, but for this section, apply to the taxpayer’s disposition of the interest because of that paragraph c or d does not exceed 10% of the taxpayer’s interest.

The first paragraph does not apply in respect of a disposition to a trust under which the amount of the income or capital to be distributed at any time in respect of any interest as a beneficiary under the trust depends on the exercise by any person or partnership of, or the failure by any person or partnership to exercise, a power to appoint.

2015, c. 21, s. 211.

637.3. Section 637 does not apply in respect of a taxpayer’s disposition of a partnership interest to a person not resident in Canada if

(a)  property of the partnership is used, immediately before and immediately after the acquisition of the interest by that person, in carrying on a business in an establishment situated in Canada; and

(b)  the fair market value of all the property referred to in paragraph a is not less than 90% of the fair market value of all property of the partnership.

2015, c. 21, s. 211.

637.4. The rules of the second paragraph apply in respect of a taxpayer’s particular interest in a partnership if

(a)  it may be reasonable to conclude that one of the purposes of a dilution, reduction or alteration of the particular interest was to avoid the application of section 637 in respect of the particular interest; and

(b)  as part of a transaction or event or series of transactions or events that includes the dilution, reduction or alteration of the particular interest, there is

i.  an acquisition of an interest in the partnership by a person or partnership described in any of paragraphs a to d of section 637.1, or

ii.  an increase in, or alteration of, an interest in the partnership held by a person or partnership described in any of paragraphs a to d of section 637.1.

For the purposes of section 637,

(a)  the taxpayer is deemed to have disposed of an interest in the partnership at the time of the dilution, reduction or alteration;

1975, c. 22, s. 178; 1997, c. 3, s. 71.

640. Subject to sections 428 to 451, Title VI.5 of Book IV and Chapter I of Title I.1 of Book VI, and notwithstanding any other provision of this Part, the taxpayer referred to in section 639 is deemed not to have disposed of and to continue to have an interest in the partnership, in this chapter referred to as a “residual interest”, until such time as all his rights to receive any property as consideration for his interest in the partnership immediately before the time that he ceased to be a member of the partnership are satisfied in full.

For the purposes of this section, a right to receive any property does not include a right to a share of the income or loss of a partnership under a agreement referred to in section 608.

1975, c. 22, s. 178; 1980, c. 13, s. 61; 1995, c. 49, s. 151; 1997, c. 3, s. 71; 2001, c. 7, s. 67; 2004, c. 8, s. 130.

641. Despite section 640, a taxpayer is deemed not to have disposed of the taxpayer’s residual interest before the end of the partnership’s fiscal period in which the taxpayer ceased to be a member of the partnership even if all of the taxpayer’s rights described in that section have been satisfied in full before the end of that fiscal period.

1975, c. 22, s. 178; 1997, c. 3, s. 71; 2019, c. 14, s. 169.

643. A taxpayer who holds a residual interest is deemed not to be a member of the partnership:

(a)  except for the purposes of sections 714 and 752.0.10.11, if he holds such interest by virtue of section 641; or

(b)  except for the purposes of sections 530 to 533, if he holds such interest otherwise than as provided in paragraph a.

644. Where a partnership has been dissolved, or would have been dissolved but for section 618, at a time when a taxpayer had rights referred to in section 640 in respect of that partnership and the members of another partnership agree to satisfy all or part of those rights, such other partnership is, for the purposes of section 640, deemed to be a continuation of the original partnership.

1975, c. 22, s. 178; 1997, c. 3, s. 71.

645. Where by virtue of the death of an individual a taxpayer acquires a property that is an interest in a partnership to which, immediately before the individual’s death, sections 639 to 644 applied:

(a)  the taxpayer is deemed to acquire a right to receive partnership property and not to acquire an interest in the partnership;

(b)  the taxpayer is deemed to acquire the right referred to in paragraph a at a cost equal to the amount deemed to be the proceeds of the disposition of the interest in the partnership to the deceased individual under section 436 or subparagraph a of the first paragraph of section 440; and

(c)  section 254 does not apply to such right.

1975, c. 22, s. 178; 1994, c. 22, s. 218; 1997, c. 3, s. 71.

TITLE XII TRUSTS AND THEIR BENEFICIARIES

1972, c. 23.

CHAPTER I GENERALITIES

1972, c. 23.

646. In this Part, unless the context indicates a different meaning and subject to the third paragraph, a trust, wherever it is created, or a succession, in this Title referred to as a “trust”, also includes the trustee or other legal representative having ownership or control of the trust property.

Likewise, a beneficiary shall include every person having a beneficial interest in a trust.

However, except for the purposes of this section, subparagraph v of subparagraph b of the first paragraph of section 248, subparagraph g of the second paragraph of that section and section 646.1, an arrangement under which a trust can reasonably be considered to act as agent or mandatary for all of the beneficiaries under the trust in respect of all of the dealings with all of the trust’s property, is deemed not to be a trust, unless the trust is described in any of paragraphs a to d of the third paragraph of section 647.

1972, c. 23, s. 483; 1988, c. 18, s. 55; 1994, c. 22, s. 219; 1996, c. 39, s. 273; 1998, c. 16, s. 176; 2000, c. 5, s. 138; 2003, c. 2, s. 148.

646.0.1. For the purposes of this Title, a succession that is a graduated rate estate, of an individual at a particular time, is the succession that arose on and as a consequence of the individual’s death and that meets the following conditions:

(a)  the particular time is no more than 36 months after the death;

(b)  the succession is at the particular time a testamentary trust;

(c)  the individual’s Social Insurance Number (or if the individual had not, before the death, been assigned a Social Insurance Number, such other information as is acceptable to the Minister) is provided in the succession’s fiscal return under this Part for its taxation year that includes the particular time and for each of its earlier taxation years that ended after 31 December 2015;

(d)  the succession designates itself as the succession that is the graduated rate estate of the individual in its fiscal return under this Part for its first taxation year that ends after 31 December 2015; and

(e)  no other succession designates itself as the succession that is the graduated rate estate of the individual in a fiscal return under this Part for a taxation year that ends after 31 December 2015.

Where a succession is not resident in Québec on the last day of its first taxation year that begins after 31 December 2015 and it is, at a particular time, a succession that is a graduated rate estate, within the meaning of section 248 of the Income Tax Act (R.S.C. 1985, c. 1 (5th Suppl.)), the following rules apply:

(a)  it is deemed to be a succession that is a graduated rate estate at that time for the purposes of this Part; and

(b)  paragraph b of the definition of “taxation year” in section 1 is to be read as follows:

“(b) in the case of a succession that is a graduated rate estate, the particular period for which the succession’s accounts are made up for purposes of assessment under the Income Tax Act; and”.

2017, c. 1, s. 148; 2024, c. 11, s. 58.

646.1. Notwithstanding section 7.11.1 and for the purposes of subparagraph ii of paragraph b of section 454.2, section 646, subparagraph a.4 of the first paragraph of section 653 and paragraph e of section 692.5, a person or partnership is deemed not to be a beneficiary under a trust at a particular time where the person or partnership is beneficially interested in the trust at that time solely because of

(a)  a right that may arise as a consequence of the terms of the will of an individual who, at that time, is a beneficiary under the trust;

(b)  a right that may arise as a consequence of the law governing the intestacy of an individual who, at that time, is a beneficiary under the trust;

(c)  a right as a shareholder under the terms of the shares of the capital stock of a corporation that, at that time, is a beneficiary under the trust;

(d)  a right as a member of a partnership under the terms of the partnership agreement, where, at that time, the partnership is a beneficiary under the trust; or

(e)  any combination of rights described in paragraphs a to d.

2003, c. 2, s. 149; 2009, c. 5, s. 197.

647. A trust is, for the purposes of this Part and as regards its property, deemed to be an individual, without affecting the liability of the trustee or legal representative for their own income tax.

However, where there are several trusts most of the property of which has been received from one person and the income of which, according to the terms governing such trusts, will ultimately accrue to the same beneficiary or same group or class of beneficiaries, the trustees whom the Minister designates are deemed to be one individual.

For the purposes of sections 653 to 656.2, 659 and 660 and paragraph b of section 657 at any time, a trust does not include a unit trust or a particular trust described in the fourth paragraph and, for the purposes of sections 653 to 656.2, 659, 660, 661, 662, 663.1, 663.2, 665, 665.1, 684 to 688.2, 690.0.1 and 691 to 692.0.1 and paragraph b of section 657, a trust does not include any of the following trusts:

(a)  an amateur athlete trust, an employee trust, an employee life and health trust, a trust described in paragraph c.4 of section 998 or a trust governed by a foreign retirement arrangement, a registered pension plan, a pooled registered pension plan, a profit sharing plan, a registered supplementary unemployment benefit plan, a registered retirement savings plan, a deferred profit sharing plan, a registered education savings plan, a registered disability savings plan, an employee benefit plan, a registered retirement income fund, a tax-free savings account or a first home savings account;

(a.1)  a trust, other than a trust described in subparagraph a or d, a trust to which section 53 or 58 applies or a trust prescribed for the purposes of section 688, all or substantially all of the property of which is held for the purpose of providing benefits to individuals each of whom is provided with benefits in respect of, or because of, an office or employment or former office or employment of any individual;

(b)  a segregated fund trust referred to in section 851.2, a trust referred to in section 851.25 or an RCA trust within the meaning of subparagraph c of the first paragraph of section 890.1;

(c)  a trust each of the beneficiaries under which was at all times after it was created a trust referred to in subparagraph a or b, other than a trust referred to in section 851.25, or a person who is a beneficiary of the trust only because of being a beneficiary under a trust referred to in either of those subparagraphs, other than a trust referred to in section 851.25;

(d)  a cemetery care trust or a trust governed by an eligible funeral arrangement.

The particular trust referred to in the third paragraph is a trust all interests in which have vested indefeasibly at the time referred to in that paragraph, and that is not

(a)  an alter ego trust, a joint spousal trust, a post-1971 spousal trust or a trust to which subparagraph a.4 of the first paragraph of section 653 applies;

(b)  (subparagraph repealed);

(c)  a trust that, in its fiscal return under this Part for its first taxation year ending after 31 December 1992, has elected that this paragraph not apply;

(d)  a trust that is at that time resident in Canada where the total fair market value at that time of all interests in the trust held at that time by beneficiaries under the trust who at that time are not resident in Canada exceeds 20% of the total fair market value at that time of all interests in the trust held at that time by beneficiaries under the trust;

(e)  a trust under the terms of which, at that time, all or part of a person’s interest in the trust is to be terminated with reference to a period of time, including a period of time determined with reference to the person’s death, otherwise than as a consequence of terms of the trust under which an interest in the trust is to be terminated as a consequence of a distribution to the person, or the person’s succession, of trust property if the fair market value of the property to be distributed is required to be proportional to the fair market value of that interest immediately before the distribution; or

(f)  a trust that, before that time and after 17 December 1999, has made a distribution to a beneficiary in respect of the beneficiary’s capital interest in the trust, if the distribution can reasonably be considered to have been financed by a liability of the trust and one of the reasons for incurring the liability was to avoid taxes otherwise payable under this Part as a consequence of the death of an individual.

653. A trust is, at the end of each of the following days, deemed to dispose of each property of the trust (other than exempt property) that is capital property or land included in the inventory of a business of the trust and to reacquire the property immediately after that day:

(a)  the day on which

i.  the spouse of the individual who created the trust died if the terms of the deed creating it entitled the spouse to receive all of the income of the trust that arose before the spouse’s death and to receive or otherwise obtain, to the exclusion of any other person, enjoyment of the income or capital of the trust, or

ii.  the individual died or, if it is later, the day on which the individual’s spouse died, if the trust is a trust described in subparagraph ii of subparagraph d of the second paragraph and the terms of the deed creating it

(1)  entitled the individual to receive all of the income of the trust that arose before the individual’s death and to receive or otherwise obtain, to the exclusion of any other person, enjoyment of the income or capital of the trust, or

(2)  entitled the individual and the individual’s spouse to receive all of the income of the trust that arose before their deaths and to receive or otherwise obtain, to the exclusion of any other person, enjoyment of the income or capital of the trust;

(a.2)  where the trust distributes an amount in respect of a beneficiary as the beneficiary’s capital interest in the trust, it can reasonably be considered that the distribution was financed by a liability of the trust and one of the reasons for incurring the liability was to avoid taxes otherwise payable under this Part as a consequence of the death of an individual, the day on which the distribution is made, determined as if a day ends for the trust immediately after the time at which each distribution is made by the trust to a beneficiary in respect of the beneficiary’s capital interest in the trust;

(a.3)  where property, other than property described in the fourth paragraph, has been transferred by an individual after 17 December 1999 to the trust in circumstances in which section 454 applied, it can reasonably be considered that the property was so transferred in anticipation that the individual would subsequently cease to be resident in Canada and the individual subsequently ceases to be resident in Canada, the first day after that transfer during which the individual ceases to be resident in Canada, determined as if a day ends for the trust immediately after each time at which the individual ceases to be resident in Canada;

(a.4)  where the trust is a trust to which property was transferred by a taxpayer who is an individual, other than a trust, in circumstances in which sections 454 to 462.0.2 or section 692.8 applied, the transfer did not result in a change in beneficial ownership of that property and no person, other than the taxpayer, or partnership has any absolute or contingent right as a beneficiary under the trust, determined with reference to section 646.1, the day on which the taxpayer dies;

(b)  the day of the twenty-first anniversary of the latest of 1 January 1972, the day on which the trust was created and, where applicable, the day determined under any of subparagraphs a, a.1 and a.4 as those subparagraphs applied from time to time after 31 December 1971;

(c)  the day of the twenty-first anniversary of the day, other than a day determined under any of subparagraphs a to a.4, of any deemed disposition of such property under this section.

Subparagraph a of the first paragraph applies only where the trust contemplated therein is

(a)  a trust that was created by the will of an individual who died after 31 December 1971 and that, at the time it was created, was a trust described in that subparagraph a;

(b)  a trust that was created by the will of an individual who died after 31 December 1971 to which property was transferred in circumstances to which section 435 or subparagraph a of the first paragraph of section 440 applied and that, immediately after the property was indefeasibly vested in the trust as a consequence of the individual’s death, was a trust described in subparagraph a of the first paragraph;

(c)  a trust that was created after 17 June 1971 by an individual during his lifetime and that, at any time after 31 December 1971, was a trust described in subparagraph a of the first paragraph; or

i.  a trust described in subparagraph a of the first paragraph, or

ii.  a trust that was created by a taxpayer who had attained 65 years of age.

However, subparagraph a of the first paragraph does not apply in respect of a trust described in subparagraph b of the second paragraph where the spouse who was the beneficiary of that trust died before 21 December 1991.

(b)  where that section applies to a trust governed by an employee benefit plan or a trust the taxable income of which for the year is subject to tax under this Part because of section 921.1 or 961.16.1, the amount that may be deducted by such a trust under that paragraph a is equal to the part of the amount that, but for this section and that paragraph a, would be the income of the trust for the year, to the extent that that part is paid in the year to a beneficiary;

(c)  where that section applies to a trust deemed by section 851.25 to exist in respect of a congregation that is a part of a religious organization, the amount that may be deducted by such a trust under that paragraph a is equal to such part of its income as became payable in the year to a beneficiary; and

657.1.0.1.

(a)  if the trust deducts a particular amount for the year under subsection 6 of that section 104 in computing its income for the purposes of that Act, the amount by which that particular amount exceeds the amount by which the aggregate of all amounts each of which is an amount that, but for those subsections 13.1 and 13.2, would be included in computing the income of a beneficiary under the trust for the year for the purposes of that Act because of subsection 13 of that section 104 or subsection 2 of section 105 of that Act, exceeds the aggregate of all amounts each of which is an amount that, but for sections 663.1 and 663.2, would be included in computing the income of a beneficiary under the trust for the year because of section 662 or 663; and

657.1.1. No deduction may be made under paragraph a of section 657 in computing the income for a taxation year of a trust in respect of such part of an amount that would otherwise be its income for the year as became payable in the year to a beneficiary who was, at any time in the year, a designated beneficiary of the trust as that expression applies for the purposes of section 210.3 of the Income Tax Act (Revised Statutes of Canada, 1985, chapter 1, 5th Supplement) unless, throughout the year, the trust was resident in Canada.

1972, c. 23, s. 499; 1990, c. 59, s. 225.

662. A reasonable amount, according to the circumstances, paid in a taxation year by a trust out of its own income for outlays, maintenance and taxes respecting a property which, under the trust arrangement, must be maintained for the use of a usufructuary for life or a beneficiary, must be included in computing the income of the latter from the trust for that year.

(a)  in the case of a trust, other than a trust referred to in subparagraph a of the third paragraph of section 647, such part of the amount that, but for paragraphs a and b of section 657, would be the trust’s income for the trust’s taxation year that ended in the particular year as became payable in the trust’s taxation year to the beneficiary; and

(b)  in the case of a trust governed by an employee benefit plan to which the beneficiary has contributed as an employer, such part of the amount that, but for paragraphs a and b of section 657, would be the trust’s income for its taxation year that ended in the particular year as was paid to the beneficiary in that taxation year of the trust;

(d)  where B is an amount equal to zero, the fraction of which it is the denominator is deemed to be equal to the fraction that would be established if A were the amount attributed by the trust for the year to the beneficiary under subsection 21 of section 104 of the Income Tax Act and if B were the aggregate of all amounts each of which is an amount attributed for the year to a beneficiary under the trust under that subsection 21.

1990, c. 59, s. 227.

663.4. If an amount (in this section referred to as the “SIFT trust’s non-deductible distributions amount for the taxation year”) is determined under subparagraph iv of paragraph a of section 657 for a taxation year, in relation to a SIFT trust, the following rules apply:

(a)  each beneficiary under the SIFT trust to whom at any time in the year an amount became payable by the trust is deemed to have received at that time a taxable dividend that was paid at that time by a taxable Canadian corporation;

668.0.2. A trust that has filed its fiscal return for its taxation year that includes 22 February 1994 may subsequently designate an amount under section 668 for that year, or amend or revoke a designation made under that section for that year where the designation, amendment or revocation

(a)  is made solely because of an increase or decrease in the net taxable capital gains of the trust for the year that results from an election or revocation to which section 726.9.8, 726.9.9 or 726.9.10 applies; and

(b)  is filed with the Minister, with an amended fiscal return for the year, when the election or revocation referred to in subparagraph a is filed with the Minister.

A designation, amendment or revocation made in accordance with the first paragraph for the taxation year referred to in that paragraph that affects an amount determined in respect of a beneficiary under section 668.1 may be made only where the trust

(b)  the beneficiary is deemed, for the purposes of sections 28, 462.8 to 462.10 and 727 to 737, as they apply for the purposes of Title VI.5 of Book IV, and Divisions III and IV of Chapter II.1 of Title I of Book V, to have disposed of a capital property referred to in subparagraph i or ii if a capital gain is determined under either of those subparagraphs in respect of the beneficiary for the beneficiary’s taxation year in which the designation year ends and to have a taxable capital gain for that taxation year

i.  from a disposition of capital property that is qualified farm or fishing property of the beneficiary equal to the amount determined by the formula

(A × B × C)/(D × E);

ii.  from a disposition of capital property that is a qualified small business corporation share of the beneficiary equal to the amount determined by the formula

(A × B × F)/(D × E);

iii.  (subparagraph repealed);

(c)  for the purposes of Title VI.5 of Book IV, the capital property referred to in paragraph b is deemed to have been disposed of by the beneficiary in the beneficiary’s taxation year in which the designation year ends.

Every designated beneficiary under a designated trust for a taxation year of the designated trust who omits to include an amount, under section 662 or 663, in computing the designated beneficiary’s income for a particular taxation year, in relation to an amount designated by the designated trust in its fiscal return filed for the year under Part I of the Income Tax Act (Revised Statutes of Canada, 1985, chapter 1, 5th Supplement), in accordance with subsection 13.1 or 13.2 of section 104 of that Act, incurs a penalty equal to the greater of $100 and 25% of the amount by which

(a)  the tax that would have been payable by the designated beneficiary for the particular year under this Act if

i.  the designated beneficiary’s taxable income for the particular year, determined on the basis of the information provided in the fiscal return filed by the designated beneficiary for the purposes of this Act in respect of the particular year, were computed by adding that portion of the amount determined in the second paragraph that may reasonably be attributed to that omission, and

ii.  the designated beneficiary’s tax payable for the particular year were computed by subtracting from the aggregate of all deductions from the tax otherwise payable by the designated beneficiary for the particular year the portion of any such deduction as may reasonably be attributed to that omission, and by adding to that aggregate any amount not deducted from the tax otherwise payable by the designated beneficiary for the particular year and that is deductible under Book V, if the amount that entitles the designated beneficiary to that deduction is wholly applicable to an amount that was not reported by the designated beneficiary in the fiscal return filed by the designated beneficiary for the purposes of this Act in respect of the particular year and that were required to be included in computing the designated beneficiary’s income for the particular year, under section 662 or 663, in relation to an amount designated by a designated trust in accordance with subsection 13.1 or 13.2 of section 104 of the Income Tax Act; exceeds

(b)  the tax that would have been payable by the designated beneficiary for the particular year under this Act had it been determined on the basis of the information provided in the designated beneficiary’s fiscal return filed for the purposes of this Act in respect of the particular year.

The amount to which subparagraph i of subparagraph a of the first paragraph refers in respect of a designated beneficiary under a designated trust for a taxation year of the designated trust is the aggregate of

(a)  the amount by which the aggregate of the amounts that were not indicated by the designated beneficiary in the fiscal return filed by the designated beneficiary for the purposes of this Act in respect of the particular year and that were required to be included in computing the designated beneficiary’s income for the particular year, under section 662 or 663, in relation to an amount designated by the designated trust in accordance with subsection 13.1 or 13.2 of section 104 of the Income Tax Act, exceeds the aggregate of the amounts that were not deducted by the designated beneficiary in computing the designated beneficiary’s taxable income for the particular year indicated by the designated beneficiary in the fiscal return, were deductible in computing the designated beneficiary’s taxable income under this Act and were wholly applicable to the amounts that were required to be so included therein; and

(b)  the amount by which the aggregate of amounts, other than those provided for in sections 727 to 737, deducted by the designated beneficiary in computing the designated beneficiary’s taxable income for the particular year indicated by the designated beneficiary in the fiscal return for the purposes of this Act in respect of the particular year exceeds the aggregate of amounts, other than those provided for in sections 727 to 737, deductible in computing the designated beneficiary’s taxable income for the particular year under this Act.

For the purposes of the first paragraph, the taxable income of a designated beneficiary under a designated trust for a taxation year of the designated trust, determined on the basis of information provided in the designated beneficiary’s fiscal return for the purposes of this Act in respect of the particular year, is deemed not to be less than zero.

However, the penalty provided for in the first paragraph does not apply where the designated beneficiary under a designated trust for a taxation year of the designated trust incurs in respect of the omission the penalty provided for in section 1049.

CHAPTER VII TESTAMENTARY TRUST

1972, c. 23.

677. Notwithstanding any inconsistent provision of this Part, the rules provided in this chapter apply to a testamentary trust.

For the purposes of this chapter, “testamentary trust”, in a taxation year, means a trust that arose upon and as a consequence of the death of an individual, including a trust referred to in section 7.4.1, but does not include

(a)  a trust created by a person other than the individual;

(b)  a trust created after 12 November 1981 if, before the end of the taxation year, property was contributed to the trust otherwise than by an individual on or after his death, and as a consequence thereof;

(c)  a trust created before 13 November 1981 if after 28 June 1982 property has been contributed to the trust otherwise than by an individual on or after his death and as a consequence thereof, or if before the end of the taxation year, the fair market value of the property owned by the trust that was contributed to the trust otherwise than by an individual on or after his death and as a consequence thereof and the property owned by the trust that was substituted for such property exceeds the fair market value of the property owned by the trust that was contributed by an individual on or after his death and as a consequence thereof and the property owned by the trust that was substituted for such property, and for the purposes of this paragraph, the fair market value of any property shall be determined as at the time it was acquired by the trust; and

(d)  a trust that, at any time after 20 December 2002 and before the end of the taxation year, incurs a debt or any other obligation owed to, or guaranteed by, a beneficiary or any other person or partnership, which beneficiary, person or partnership is referred to in this subparagraph as the “specified party”, with whom a beneficiary under the trust does not deal at arm’s length, other than a debt or other obligation

i.  incurred by the trust in satisfaction of the specified party’s right as a beneficiary under the trust

(1)  to enforce payment of an amount of the trust’s income or capital gains payable at or before that time by the trust to the specified party, or

(2)  to otherwise receive any part of the capital of the trust,

ii.  owed to the specified party, if the debt or other obligation arose because of a service, not including any transfer or loan of property, rendered by the specified party to, for or on behalf of the trust,

iii.  owed to the specified party, if

(1)  the debt or other obligation arose because of a payment made by the specified party for or on behalf of the trust,

(2)  in exchange for the payment and in full settlement of the debt or other obligation, the trust transfers property, the fair market value of which is not less than the principal amount of the debt or other obligation, to the specified party within 12 months after the payment was made or, if written application has been made to the Minister by the trust within that 12-month period, within any longer period that the Minister considers reasonable in the circumstances, and

(3)  it is reasonable to conclude that the specified party would have been willing to make the payment if the specified party dealt at arm’s length with the trust, unless the trust is the individual’s succession and that payment was made within the first 12 months after the individual’s death or, if written application has been made to the Minister by the succession within that 12-month period, within any longer period that the Minister considers reasonable in the circumstances, or

iv.  incurred by the trust before 24 October 2012 if, in full settlement of the debt or other obligation, the trust transfers property, the fair market value of which is not less than the principal amount of the debt or other obligation, to the person or partnership to whom the debt or other obligation is owed within 12 months after 26 June 2013 or, if written application has been made to the Minister by the trust within that 12-month period, within any longer period that the Minister considers reasonable in the circumstances.

677.1. For the purposes of section 677, property is not considered to be contributed to a trust as a result of

(a)  a qualifying expenditure (within the meaning of section 118.04 or 118.041 of the Income Tax Act (R.S.C. 1985, c. 1, (5th Suppl.)) of a beneficiary under the trust; or

(b)  an amount paid to, or on behalf of, the trust by another trust where

i.  the trust is an individual’s succession that is a graduated rate estate (determined without regard to the amount paid and this section),

ii.  subparagraph b of the first paragraph of section 663.0.1 applies to the other trust, for a taxation year that ends at a time determined by reference to the death of the individual referred to in subparagraph i, because of an election referred to in subparagraph c of the second paragraph of section 663.0.1 and made by the other trust and the legal representative administering the individual’s succession,

iii.  the amount is paid on account of the tax payable by the individual referred to in subparagraph i, for the individual’s taxation year that includes the day on which the individual dies, under this Part, Part I of the Income Tax Act or the law of another province in which the individual was resident immediately before the individual’s death, that imposes a tax on the taxable income of individuals resident in that province, and

iv.  the amount paid does not exceed the amount by which the tax payable referred to in subparagraph iii exceeds the amount that would have been payable on account of that tax if subparagraph b of the first paragraph of section 663.0.1 had not applied to the other trust in respect of the taxation year referred to in subparagraph ii.

680. The income of a person for a taxation year from a succession that is a graduated rate estate is deemed to be the aggregate of the person’s benefits from or under the succession for any taxation year of the succession that ended in the year, determined under the provisions of this Title except for sections 683 to 692.

1972, c. 23, s. 512; 1973, c. 17, s. 77; 2017, c. 1, s. 161.

681. Where an individual with an income from a trust that is a succession that is a graduated rate estate died after the end of a taxation year of the trust and before the end of the calendar year during which that taxation year ended, his income from the trust for the period commencing immediately after the end of the taxation year of the trust and ending at the time of death shall be included in computing the individual’s income for the year in which he died unless his legal representative has elected otherwise, in which case the legal representative shall file a separate fiscal return under this Part for the period comprised between the end of the taxation year of the trust and the date of the death and pay the tax for the period under this Part as if

(a)  the individual were another person;

(b)  the period were a taxation year;

(c)  that other person’s only income for the period were the individual’s income from the trust for that period; and

CHAPTER VIII DISPOSITION OF AN INTEREST

1972, c. 23.

683. In this chapter,

“capital interest” of a taxpayer in a trust means all rights of the taxpayer as a beneficiary under the trust, and after 31 December 1999 includes a right, other than a right acquired before 1 January 2000 and disposed of before 1 March 2000, to enforce payment of an amount by the trust that arises as a consequence of any such right, but does not include an income interest in the trust;

“eligible offset” at any time of a taxpayer in respect of all or part of the taxpayer’s capital interest in a trust is the portion of any debt or obligation that is assumed by the taxpayer and that can reasonably be considered to be applicable to property distributed at that time as consideration for the interest or part of the interest, as the case may be, if the distribution is conditional upon the assumption by the taxpayer of the portion of the debt or obligation;

“income interest” of a taxpayer in a trust means a right, whether immediate or future and whether absolute or contingent, of the taxpayer as a beneficiary under a personal trust to, or to receive, all or any part of the income of the trust and, after 31 December 1999, includes a right, other than a right acquired before 1 January 2000 and disposed of before 1 March 2000, to enforce payment of an amount by the trust that arises as a consequence of any such right.

1972, c. 23, s. 515; 1989, c. 77, s. 71; 1990, c. 59, s. 240; 2003, c. 2, s. 169.

684. A taxpayer who disposes in a taxation year of an income interest of the taxpayer in a trust shall, if section 685 does not apply, include in computing the taxpayer’s income for the year the amount by which the proceeds of disposition exceed, where that interest includes a right to enforce payment of an amount by the trust, the amount in respect of that right that has been included in computing the taxpayer’s income for a taxation year because of section 663.

The disposition referred to in the first paragraph is deemed not to give rise to any capital gain or capital loss, to the taxpayer, and the cost of any property received by the taxpayer as consideration is the fair market value of the property at the time of the disposition.

1972, c. 23, s. 516; 2003, c. 2, s. 169.

685. Any trust distributing, at a particular time, any property owned by it to a beneficiary in satisfaction of all or any part of his income interest in the trust, is deemed to dispose of such property at its fair market value at that time.

1972, c. 23, s. 517; 1973, c. 17, s. 79; 2001, c. 7, s. 71.

686. In computing a taxpayer’s taxable capital gain from the disposition of property that is all or any part of the taxpayer’s capital interest in a personal trust or a prescribed trust, the adjusted cost base to the taxpayer of the property immediately before the disposition is deemed to be equal to the greater of

(a)  the adjusted cost base, otherwise determined, to the taxpayer of the property immediately before that time; and

(b)  the amount by which the cost amount to the taxpayer of the property immediately before that time exceeds the aggregate of all amounts deducted under paragraph b.1 of section 257 in computing the adjusted cost base to the taxpayer of the property immediately before the disposition.

The presumption referred to in the first paragraph does not apply where any part of such interest has ever been acquired for consideration and, at the time of disposition, the trust is not resident in Canada.

Where a taxpayer other than a mutual fund trust disposes of all or any part of the capital interest in a trust, the taxpayer’s loss from the disposition is deemed to be equal to the amount by which the amount of that loss otherwise determined exceeds the amount by which

(a)  the aggregate of all amounts each of which is an amount that was received or would, but for section 666, have been received by the trust on a share of the capital stock of a corporation before the disposition, and, where the trust is a unit trust, after 31 December 1987, and

i.  where the taxpayer is a corporation,

(1)  was a taxable dividend that was designated under section 666 by the trust in respect of the taxpayer, to the extent that the amount of the dividend was deductible because of sections 738 to 745 or section 845 in computing the taxpayer’s taxable income for any taxation year, or

(2)  was an amount designated under section 667 by the trust in respect of the taxpayer,

ii.  where the taxpayer is another trust, was an amount designated under section 666 or 667 by the trust in respect of the taxpayer, and

iii.  where the taxpayer is not a corporation, trust or partnership, was an amount designated under section 667 by the trust in respect of the taxpayer; exceeds

(b)  the portion of the aggregate determined in accordance with subparagraph a that may reasonably be considered to have resulted in a reduction, under this paragraph, of the taxpayer’s loss otherwise determined from a previous disposition of an interest in the trust.

Where a partnership disposes of all or any part of the capital interest in a trust, the share of a person, other than another partnership or a mutual fund trust, of any loss of the partnership from the disposition is deemed to be equal to the amount by which the amount of that loss otherwise determined exceeds the amount by which

(a)  the aggregate of all amounts each of which is an amount that was received or would, but for section 666, have been received by the trust on a share of the capital stock of a corporation before the disposition, and, where the trust is a unit trust, after 31 December 1987, and

i.  where the person is a corporation,

(1)  was a taxable dividend that was designated under section 666 by the trust in respect of the partnership, to the extent that the amount of the dividend was deductible because of sections 738 to 745 or section 845 in computing the person’s taxable income for any taxation year, or

(2)  was a dividend designated under section 667 by the trust in respect of the partnership and was an amount received by the person,

ii.  where the person is an individual other than a trust, was a dividend designated under section 667 by the trust in respect of the partnership and was an amount received by the person, and

iii.  where the person is another trust, was a dividend designated under section 666 or 667 by the trust in respect of the partnership and was an amount received by the person, or that would have been received by the person if this Part were read without reference to section 666; exceeds

(b)  the portion of the aggregate determined in accordance with subparagraph a that may reasonably be considered to have resulted in a reduction, under this paragraph, of the person’s loss otherwise determined from a previous disposition of an interest in the trust.

Where all or part of a capital interest in a trust is disposed of by a taxpayer and the capital interest is not a capital property of the taxpayer, despite section 690, its cost amount is deemed to be the amount by which the amount that would, if this Part were read without reference to this paragraph and section 690, be its cost amount exceeds the aggregate of all amounts, each of which is an amount in respect of the capital interest that has become payable to the taxpayer before the disposition and that would be described in subparagraph i.1 of paragraph n of section 257 if its subparagraph 3 were read without reference to “, that is, subject to section 257.4, equal to the amount designated by the trust to be payable to the taxpayer under section 668”.

1972, c. 23, s. 518; 1973, c. 17, s. 80; 1984, c. 15, s. 153; 1990, c. 59, s. 241; 1993, c. 16, s. 245; 1995, c. 49, s. 156; 1996, c. 39, s. 176; 1997, c. 3, s. 71; 2000, c. 5, s. 147; 2001, c. 7, s. 72; 2003, c. 2, s. 170; 2015, c. 24, s. 91.

687. The cost to a taxpayer of a capital interest in a personal trust or a prescribed trust is deemed to be

(a)  where the taxpayer elects under section 726.9.2 in respect of the interest and the trust does not elect under that section in respect of any property of the trust, equal to the taxpayer’s cost of the interest determined under subparagraph a of the first paragraph of section 726.9.2; and

(b)  in any other case, nil, unless

i.  any part of the interest was acquired by the taxpayer from a person who was the beneficiary in respect of the interest immediately before its acquisition by the taxpayer, or

ii.  the cost of any part of the interest would be determined not to be nil under sections 242 to 247.1, as they read before 1 January 1993, subparagraph c of the second paragraph of section 736 and the third paragraph of that section, paragraph c of section 785.1 or subparagraph c of the first paragraph of section 785.2.

1975, c. 22, s. 189; 1984, c. 15, s. 154; 2000, c. 5, s. 147; 2003, c. 2, s. 171; 2009, c. 5, s. 215.

687.1. For the purposes of sections 83 to 85.6, the fair market value at any time of a capital interest in a trust is deemed to be equal to the aggregate of

(a)  the amount that would, if this Part were read without reference to this section, be its fair market value at that time; and

(b)  the aggregate of all amounts, each of which is an amount in respect of the capital interest that became payable to the taxpayer before that time and that would be described in subparagraph i.1 of paragraph n of section 257 if its subparagraph 3 were read without reference to “, that is, subject to section 257.4, equal to the amount designated by the trust to be payable to the taxpayer under section 668”.

2015, c. 24, s. 92.

688. Subject to sections 688.0.0.1, 688.0.0.2 and 691 to 692, if at a particular time a property of a personal trust or a prescribed trust is distributed (otherwise than as a SIFT trust wind-up event) by the trust to a taxpayer who was a beneficiary under the trust and there is a resulting disposition of all or any part of the taxpayer’s capital interest in the trust, the following rules apply:

(a)  the trust is deemed to dispose of the property for proceeds of disposition equal to its cost amount to the trust immediately before that time;

(b)  the taxpayer is, subject to section 688.2, deemed to acquire the property at a cost equal to the total of its cost amount to the trust immediately before that time and the specified percentage of the amount by which the adjusted cost base to the taxpayer of the capital interest or part thereof immediately before that time, determined without reference to the first paragraph of section 686, exceeds the cost amount to the taxpayer of the capital interest or part thereof immediately before that time;

(c)  the taxpayer’s proceeds of disposition of all or part, as the case may be, of the capital interest in the trust disposed of by the taxpayer on the distribution are deemed to be equal to the amount by which the cost at which the taxpayer would be deemed under paragraph b to acquire the property if the specified percentage referred to in that paragraph were 100% exceeds the aggregate of all amounts each of which is an eligible offset at that time of the taxpayer in respect of the capital interest or part thereof;

(d)  for the purposes of sections 93 to 104, Chapter III of Title III and any regulations made under paragraph a of section 130 or under section 130.1, where the property distributed was depreciable property of a prescribed class of the trust and the amount that was the capital cost to the trust of such property exceeds the cost at which, in accordance with sections 688, 689, 691 and 692, the taxpayer is deemed to acquire the property, the following rules apply:

i.  the capital cost of the property to the taxpayer is deemed to be the capital cost of the property to the trust, and

ii.  the excess is deemed to have been allowed to the taxpayer as depreciation in respect of the property for the taxation years preceding the acquisition by him of the property;

(d.1)  (subparagraph repealed);

(e)  (subparagraph repealed).

For the purposes of subparagraph b of the first paragraph, the specified percentage is

(a)  where the property is capital property other than depreciable property, 100%;

(b)  (subparagraph repealed);

(c)  in any other case, 50%.

1972, c. 23, s. 519; 1973, c. 17, s. 81; 1975, c. 22, s. 190; 1977, c. 26, s. 76; 1979, c. 18, s. 55; 1990, c. 59, s. 242; 1993, c. 16, s. 246; 1994, c. 22, s. 239; 1996, c. 39, s. 177; 2000, c. 5, s. 148; 2001, c. 7, s. 73; 2003, c. 2, s. 172; 2005, c. 1, s. 133; 2009, c. 5, s. 216; 2010, c. 25, s. 52; 2011, c. 6, s. 143; 2015, c. 21, s. 221; 2019, c. 14, s. 175.

688.0.0.1. If a trust makes a distribution of a property to a beneficiary under the trust in full or partial satisfaction of the beneficiary’s capital interest in the trust and makes a valid election under subsection 2.001 of section 107 of the Income Tax Act (R.S.C. 1985, c. 1 (5th Suppl.)) after 19 December 2006 in respect of the distribution of property, section 688 does not apply to the distribution if

(a)  the trust is resident in Canada at the time of the distribution;

(b)  the property is taxable Canadian property; or

(c)  the property is capital property used in, or property included in the inventory of, a business carried on by the trust through an establishment in Canada immediately before the time of the distribution.

Chapter V.2 of Title II of Book I applies in relation to an election made under subsection 2.001 of section 107 of the Income Tax Act or in relation to an election made under this section before 20 December 2006.

(2)  the aggregate of all amounts each of which is an eligible offset at that time of the taxpayer in respect of the former interest; and

(e)  where the trust is a mutual fund trust, the distribution occurs in a taxation year of the trust before its taxation year 2003, the trust has elected under section 688.1.1 for the year and the trust so elects in respect of the distribution in prescribed form filed with the Minister with the trust’s fiscal return for the year, the following rules apply:

(e)  if a liability of the trust becomes as a consequence of the distribution a liability of the corporation described in paragraph b of section 688.3 in respect of the distribution, and the amount payable by the corporation on the maturity of the liability is equal to the amount that would have been payable by the trust on its maturity,

i.  the transfer of the liability by the trust to the corporation is deemed not to have occurred, and

(b)  if the taxpayer is not resident in Canada at any time in the particular year and an income or loss described in paragraph a or an amount to which paragraph z or z.1 of section 87 applies would not otherwise be included in computing the taxpayer’s taxable income or taxable income earned in Canada, as the case may be, notwithstanding any other provision of this Act, the income, the loss or the amount shall be attributed to the carrying on of business in Canada by the taxpayer through a fixed place of business located in the province in which the site to which the trust relates is situated.

CHAPTER X QUALIFYING DISPOSITION

2003, c. 2, s. 185.

692.5. In this chapter, “qualifying disposition” means a disposition of property made by a person or partnership before 21 December 2002 and a disposition of property made by an individual after 20 December 2002, the person, partnership or individual being in this section referred to as the “contributor”, as a result of a transfer of the property to a particular trust if

(a)  the disposition does not result in a change in the beneficial ownership of the property;

(b)  the proceeds of disposition would, but for sections 422 to 424, 427.4, 454 to 462.0.2 and this chapter, not be determined under any provisions of this Part;

(c)  the particular trust is resident in Canada at the time of the transfer;

(d)  (paragraph repealed);

(e)  unless the contributor is a trust, there is immediately after the disposition no absolute or contingent right of a person or partnership, other than the contributor or, where the property is co-owned, each of the joint contributors, as a beneficiary, determined with reference to section 646.1, under the particular trust;

(f)  the contributor is not an individual, other than a trust described in any of subparagraphs a to d of the third paragraph of section 647, if the particular trust is described in any of those subparagraphs;

(g)  the disposition is not part of a series of transactions or events

i.  that begins after 17 December 1999 and that includes the subsequent acquisition, for a particular consideration given to a personal trust, of a capital interest or an income interest in the trust,

ii.  that begins after 17 December 1999 and that includes the disposition of all or part of a capital interest or an income interest in a personal trust, other than a disposition solely as a consequence of a distribution from a trust to a person or partnership as consideration for all or part of that interest, or

iii.  that begins after 5 June 2000 and that includes the transfer to the particular trust of property as consideration for the acquisition of a capital interest in the particular trust, if the property can reasonably be considered to have been received by the particular trust in order to fund a distribution, other than a distribution that is proceeds of disposition of a capital interest in the particular trust;

(h)  the disposition is not, and is not part of, a transaction that occurs after 17 December 1999 and that includes the giving to the contributor, for the disposition, of any consideration, other than consideration that is an interest of the contributor as a beneficiary under the particular trust or that is the assumption by the particular trust of debt for which the property can, at the time of the disposition, reasonably be considered to be security;

(i)  section 454 does not apply to the disposition and would not apply to the disposition if no election had been made under that section and if sections 454 to 462.0.2 were read without reference to section 454.2; and

(j)  if the contributor is an amateur athlete trust, a cemetery care trust, an employee trust, an employee life and health trust, a trust deemed by section 851.25 to exist in respect of a congregation that is a constituent part of a religious organization, a segregated fund trust within the meaning of section 851.2, a trust described in paragraph c.4 of section 998 or a trust governed by an eligible funeral arrangement, a profit sharing plan, a registered education savings plan, a registered disability savings plan, a registered supplementary unemployment benefit plan or a tax-free savings account, the particular trust is the same type of trust.

2003, c. 2, s. 185; 2004, c. 21, s. 97; 2009, c. 5, s. 232; 2009, c. 15, s. 100; 2011, c. 6, s. 146; 2017, c. 1, s. 165.

692.6. For the purposes of paragraph a of section 692.5, the following rules apply:

(a)  except where paragraph b applies, where a trust, in this paragraph and in section 692.7 referred to as the “transferor trust”, in a period that does not exceed one day, disposes of one or more properties in the period to one or more other trusts, there is deemed to be no resulting change in the beneficial ownership of those properties if

i.  the transferor trust receives no consideration for the disposition, and

ii.  as a consequence of the disposition, the value of each beneficiary’s beneficial ownership at the beginning of the period under the transferor trust in each particular property of the transferor trust, or group of two or more properties of the transferor trust that are identical to each other, is the same as the value of the beneficiary’s beneficial ownership at the end of the period under the transferor trust and the other trust or trusts in each particular property, or in property that was immediately before the disposition included in the group of identical properties referred to above; and

(b)  where a trust, in this paragraph referred to as the “transferor”, governed by a registered retirement savings plan or a registered retirement income fund transfers a property to a trust, in this paragraph referred to as the “transferee”, governed by a registered retirement savings plan or a registered retirement income fund, the transfer is deemed not to result in a change in the beneficial ownership of the property if the annuitant of the plan or fund that governs the transferor is also the annuitant of the plan or fund that governs the transferee.

2003, c. 2, s. 185.

692.7. For the purpose of applying paragraph a of section 692.6 in respect of a transfer by a transferor trust of property that includes a share and money, the other trust or trusts referred to in that section may receive, in lieu of a transfer of a fractional interest in a share that would otherwise be required, a disproportionate amount of money or interest in the share, the value of which does not exceed the lesser of $200 and the fair market value of the fractional interest.

2003, c. 2, s. 185.

692.8. Where at a particular time there is a qualifying disposition of property by a person or partnership, in this section referred to as the “transferor”, to a trust, in this section referred to as the “transferee trust”, the following rules apply:

(a)  the transferor’s proceeds of disposition of the property are deemed to be

i.  where the transferor makes a valid election under subparagraph i of paragraph a of subsection 3 of section 107.4 of the Income Tax Act (R.S.C. 1985, c. 1 (5th Suppl.)) after 19 December 2006 in relation to the disposition, the greater of the cost amount to the transferor of the property immediately before the particular time and the amount specified in respect of the property in the election in accordance with that subparagraph i, and

ii.  in any other case, the cost amount to the transferor of the property immediately before the particular time;

(b)  the transferee trust’s cost of the property is deemed to be the amount by which the amount determined under subparagraph a in respect of the qualifying disposition exceeds the amount by which the transferor’s loss otherwise determined from the qualifying disposition would be reduced by reason of section 638.1, the third and fourth paragraphs of section 686 or sections 741 to 744.2, if the amount determined under subparagraph a were equal to the fair market value of the property at the particular time;

(c)  for the purposes of sections 93 to 104, Chapter III of Title III and any regulations made under paragraph a of section 130 or under section 130.1, if the property was depreciable property of a prescribed class of the transferor and its capital cost to the transferor exceeds the cost at which the transferee trust is deemed by this section to have acquired the property, the following rules apply:

i.  the capital cost of the property to the transferee trust is deemed to be the amount that was the capital cost of the property to the transferor, and

ii.  the excess is deemed to have been allowed as depreciation to the transferee trust in respect of the property for taxation years that ended before the particular time;

(d)  (subparagraph repealed);

(e)  if, as a result of a transaction or event, the property was deemed to be taxable Québec property or taxable Canadian property of the transferor under this subparagraph, subparagraph c of the first paragraph of section 280.6, subparagraph d of the first paragraph of section 301, any of sections 521, 538 and 540.4, paragraph b of section 540.6, section 554, subparagraph c of the second paragraph of section 614 or paragraph d of section 688.4, the property is also deemed to be, at any time that is within 60 months after the transaction or event, taxable Québec property or taxable Canadian property of the transferee trust;

(f)  where the transferor is a segregated fund trust, within the meaning of section 851.2, the following rules apply:

i.  section 851.14 does not apply in respect of a disposition of interest in the transferor that occurs in connection with the qualifying disposition, and

ii.  for the purpose of computing the amount referred to in section 851.14 in respect of a subsequent disposition of an interest in the transferee trust where the interest is deemed to exist in connection with a life insurance policy, the acquisition fee, within the meaning of section 851.17, in respect of the policy shall be determined as if each amount referred to in sections 851.17 and 851.18 in respect of the policyholder’s interest in the transferor had been determined in respect of the policyholder’s interest in the transferee trust;

(g)  if the transferor is a trust to which property was transferred by an individual, other than a trust, the following rules apply:

i.  where section 454 applied in respect of the property so transferred and it is reasonable to consider that the property was so transferred in anticipation of the individual ceasing to be resident in Canada, for the application of subparagraph a.3 of the first paragraph of section 653 and this subparagraph to a disposition by the transferee trust after the particular time, the transferee trust is deemed after the particular time to be a trust to which the individual had transferred property in anticipation of the individual ceasing to be resident in Canada and in circumstances to which section 454 applied, and

ii.  for the purposes of paragraph j of the definition of “excluded right or interest” in section 785.0.1 and the application of this subparagraph to a disposition by the transferee trust after the particular time, where the property so transferred was transferred in circumstances to which this section would apply if section 692.5 were read without reference to paragraphs h and i thereof, the transferee trust is deemed after the particular time to be a trust an interest in which was acquired by the individual as a consequence of a qualifying disposition;

(h)  if the transferor is a trust, other than a personal trust or a trust prescribed for the purposes of section 688, the transferee trust is deemed to be neither a personal trust nor a trust prescribed for the purposes of section 688;

(i)  if the transferor is a trust and a taxpayer disposes of all or part of a capital interest in the transferor because of the qualifying disposition and, as a consequence, acquires a capital interest or part of it in the transferee trust, the following rules apply:

i.  the taxpayer is deemed to dispose of the capital interest or part of it in the transferor for proceeds equal to the cost amount to the taxpayer of that interest or part of it immediately before the particular time, and

ii.  the taxpayer is deemed to acquire the capital interest or part of it in the transferee trust at a cost equal to the amount by which the cost amount referred to in subparagraph i exceeds the amount by which the taxpayer’s loss otherwise determined from the disposition referred to in subparagraph i would be reduced by reason of the third and fourth paragraphs of section 686, if the proceeds under that subparagraph were equal to the fair market value of the capital interest or part of it in the transferor immediately before the particular time;

(j)  where the transferor is a trust, a taxpayer’s beneficial ownership in the property ceases to be derived from the taxpayer’s capital interest in the transferor because of the qualifying disposition and no part of the taxpayer’s capital interest in the transferor was disposed of because of the qualifying disposition, there shall, immediately after the particular time, be added to the cost otherwise determined of the taxpayer’s capital interest in the transferee trust, the amount determined by the formula

A × [(B - C)/B] - D;

(k)  where subparagraph j applies to the qualifying disposition in respect of a taxpayer, the amount that would be determined under that subparagraph in respect of the qualifying disposition if the amount determined under subparagraph d of the second paragraph were nil shall, immediately after the particular time, be deducted in computing the cost otherwise determined of the taxpayer’s capital interest in the transferor;

(l)  where subparagraphs i and j do not apply in respect of the qualifying disposition, the transferor is deemed to acquire the capital interest or part of it in the transferee trust that is acquired as a consequence of the qualifying disposition

i.  where the transferee trust is a personal trust, at a cost equal to nil, and

ii.  in any other case, at a cost equal to the excess referred to in subparagraph b in respect of the qualifying disposition; and

(m)  for the purposes of section 684, where the transferor is a trust and a taxpayer disposes of all or part of an income interest in the transferor because of the qualifying disposition and, as a consequence, acquires an income interest or a part of an income interest in the transferee trust, the taxpayer is deemed not to dispose of any part of the income interest in the transferor at the particular time.

In the formula provided for in subparagraph j of the first paragraph,

(a)  A is the cost amount to the taxpayer of the taxpayer’s capital interest in the transferor immediately before the particular time;

(b)  B is the fair market value immediately before the particular time of the taxpayer’s capital interest in the transferor;

(c)  C is the fair market value at the particular time of the taxpayer’s capital interest in the transferor, determined as if the only property disposed of at the particular time were the particular property; and

(d)  D is the lesser of

i.  the amount by which the cost amount to the taxpayer of the taxpayer’s capital interest in the transferor immediately before the particular time exceeds the fair market value of the taxpayer’s capital interest in the transferor immediately before the particular time, and

ii.  the maximum amount by which the taxpayer’s loss from a disposition of a capital interest otherwise determined would be reduced by reason of the third and fourth paragraphs of section 686 if the taxpayer’s capital interest in the transferor had been disposed of immediately before the particular time.

Chapter V.2 of Title II of Book I applies in relation to an election made under subparagraph i of paragraph a of subsection 3 of section 107.4 of the Income Tax Act or in relation to an election made under this section before 20 December 2006.

2003, c. 2, s. 185; 2004, c. 8, s. 135; 2005, c. 1, s. 135; 2009, c. 5, s. 233; 2009, c. 15, s. 101; 2010, c. 25, s. 57; 2011, c. 6, s. 147; 2019, c. 14, s. 177.

692.9. Where a capital interest in a trust is held by a beneficiary at any time, the interest is vested indefeasibly at that time, the trust is not described in any of subparagraphs a to d of the third paragraph of section 647 and interests under the trust are not ordinarily disposed of for consideration that reflects the fair market value of the net assets of the trust, the fair market value of the interest at that time is deemed to be not less than the amount determined by the formula

(A − B) × (C / D).

In the formula provided for in the first paragraph,

(a)  A is the total fair market value of all properties of the trust at the time referred to in the first paragraph;

(b)  B is the aggregate of all amounts each of which is the amount of a debt owing by the trust at the time referred to in the first paragraph or the amount of any other obligation of the trust to pay any amount that is outstanding at that time;

(c)  C is the fair market value at the time referred to in the first paragraph of the interest referred to in the first paragraph, determined without reference to this section; and

(d)  D is the total fair market value at the time referred to in the first paragraph of all interests as beneficiaries under the trust, determined without reference to this section.

1986, c. 19, s. 139; 1987, c. 67, s. 134; 1989, c. 5, s. 84; 1993, c 64, s. 42; 2019, c. 14, s. 179.

693.2. In this Book, except Title VI.11, the following rules apply in respect of a taxpayer if one or more partnerships (each of which is in this section referred to as an “interposed partnership”) are interposed between the taxpayer and a given partnership, for a given fiscal period of the given partnership:

(a)  the taxpayer is deemed to be a member of a particular partnership at the end of a particular fiscal period of the particular partnership and that particular fiscal period is deemed to end in the taxpayer’s taxation year in which ends the fiscal period of the interposed partnership of which the taxpayer is directly a member, if

i.  the particular fiscal period is that which ends in the fiscal period (in this section referred to as the “interposed fiscal period”) of the interposed partnership that is a member of the particular partnership at the end of that particular fiscal period, and

ii.  the taxpayer is a member, or deemed to be a member under this subparagraph a, of the interposed partnership described in subparagraph i at the end of the interposed partnership’s interposed fiscal period; and

(b)  the taxpayer’s share in an amount in respect of the given partnership for the given fiscal period is deemed to be equal to the proportion of that amount represented by the proportion obtained by multiplying the agreed proportion in respect of the taxpayer for the interposed fiscal period of the interposed partnership of which the taxpayer is directly a member, by

i.  if there is only one interposed partnership, the agreed proportion in respect of the interposed partnership for the given partnership’s given fiscal period, or

ii.  if there is more than one interposed partnership, the result obtained by multiplying together all proportions each of which is the agreed proportion in respect of an interposed partnership for the particular fiscal period of the particular partnership referred to in subparagraph a of which the interposed partnership is a member at the end of that particular fiscal period.

If the first paragraph applies for the purpose of determining an amount that a corporation may deduct under Title V because of section 714, subparagraph b of that paragraph is to be read as follows:

“(b) the proportion of the taxpayer’s share in the given partnership for the given fiscal period is deemed to be equal to the product obtained by multiplying the proportion of the taxpayer’s share in the interposed partnership of which the taxpayer is directly a member for the interposed partnership’s interposed fiscal period, by

i. if there is only one interposed partnership, the proportion of the interposed partnership’s share in the given partnership for the given fiscal period, or

ii. if there is more than one interposed partnership, the result obtained by multiplying together all proportions each of which is the proportion of an interposed partnership’s share in the particular partnership referred to in subparagraph a of which the interposed partnership is a member at the end of the particular partnership’s particular fiscal period for that particular fiscal period.”

2009, c. 15, s. 102; 2017, c. 29, s. 92; 2021, c. 14, s. 59.

693.3. Section 693.2 does not apply in respect of a taxpayer, in relation to a given partnership, if the Minister is of the opinion that the interposition, between the taxpayer and the given partnership, of one or more other partnerships is part of an operation or transaction or of a series of operations or transactions, one of the purposes of which is to cause the taxpayer to be able to deduct, in computing the taxpayer’s taxable income for a taxation year under a provision of this Book, an amount greater than the amount that the taxpayer could have so deducted for that taxation year, but for that interposition.

2009, c. 15, s. 102.

693.4. In this Book, except Titles V, VI.3 and VI.9, where a Minister other than the Minister of Revenue or a body replaces or revokes a certificate, qualification certificate or other similar document that has been issued to a person or a partnership, the following rules apply in respect of the document, unless a more specific similar rule applies to it:

(a)  the replaced document is null as of the date of its coming into force or of its deemed coming into force and the new document is deemed, unless it provides otherwise, to come into force as of that date and to have been issued at the time the replaced document was issued or is deemed to have been issued; and

(b)  the revoked document is null as of the effective date of the revocation and is deemed not to have been issued, obtained or held as of that date.

Where a document is, without being replaced, amended by the revocation or replacement of any of its parts or in any other manner, the document before the amendment and the document as amended are deemed, for the purposes of this section, to be separate documents the first of which (referred to as the “replaced document”) has been replaced by the second (referred to as the “new document”).

Where, in the circumstances described in the second paragraph, a document is amended only for a part of its period of validity, the new document is deemed to describe both the situation prevailing before the amendment, as proven by the content of the replaced document, and the new situation, as proven by the content of the new document.

2012, c. 8, s. 59.

693.5. Where the amount of $400,000 referred to in subparagraph a of the first paragraph of section 726.7.1 is to be used for a taxation year subsequent to the taxation year 2014, it must be adjusted annually in such a manner that the amount used for that taxation year is equal to the total of the amount that, but for the fifth paragraph, would have been used for the preceding taxation year and the product that is obtained by multiplying that amount so used by the factor determined by the formula

(A/B) - 1.

In the formula in the first paragraph,

(a)  A is the Consumer Price Index for the 12-month period that ended on 30 September of the taxation year preceding that for which an amount is to be adjusted; and

(b)  B is the Consumer Price Index for the 12-month period preceding the period described in subparagraph a.

For the purposes of the second paragraph, the Consumer Price Index for a 12-month period is equal to the quotient obtained by dividing the aggregate of each monthly Consumer Price Index for that period for Canada established by Statistics Canada under the Statistics Act (R.S.C.1985, c. S-19) by 12.

If an index established in accordance with the third paragraph or the factor determined by the formula in the first paragraph has more than three decimal places, only the first three decimal digits are retained and the third is increased by one unit if the fourth is greater than 4.

If the amount that results from the adjustment provided for in the first paragraph is not a multiple of $1, it must be rounded to the nearest multiple of $1 or, if it is equidistant from two such multiples, to the higher of the two.

2015, c. 24, s. 93; 2020, c. 16, s. 98.

(a)  in the case of a gift made after 20 December 2002, the amount of the advantage in respect of the gift;

(b)  the amount determined under subparagraph a or b of the first paragraph in respect of the capital property or immovable property; and

(a)  a gift made by a recognized farm producer of an eligible agricultural product produced by such a producer; or

(b)  a gift of an eligible food product made by a corporation carrying on a food processing business or by a corporation that is a member of a partnership carrying on such a business.

In this section, “recognized farm producer” has the meaning that would be assigned by the definition of that expression in the first paragraph of section 752.0.10.1 if that definition were read as if “an individual” were replaced, wherever it appears, by “a corporation”, and “eligible agricultural product” and “eligible food product” have the meaning assigned by that section.

2015, c. 36, s. 39; 2017, c. 1, s. 167.

716.0.2. The definitions of “excepted gift” and “non-qualifying security” in the first paragraph of section 752.0.10.1, the third paragraph of that section and sections 752.0.10.16 to 752.0.10.18 apply in respect of a corporation as if the references therein to “an individual” were read as references to “a corporation”, as if the reference therein to “752.0.10.12” were read as a reference to “716” and as if a non-qualifying security of a corporation included a share, other than a share listed on a designated stock exchange, of the capital stock of the corporation.

1999, c. 83, s. 71; 2001, c. 7, s. 169; 2010, c. 5, s. 54; 2012, c. 8, s. 65.

716.0.3. If, but for this section, a corporation, other than a corporation that was a predecessor corporation in an amalgamation to which section 544 applied or a corporation that was wound up in a winding-up to which Chapter VII of Title IX of Book III applied, would be deemed under section 752.0.10.16 to have made a gift after the corporation ceased to exist, for the purposes of this Title, the corporation is deemed to have made the gift in its last taxation year.

Any amount of interest payable under this Part must be determined as if the presumption provided in the first paragraph did not apply.

1999, c. 83, s. 71.

716.0.4. Subject to sections 716.0.6 and 716.0.7, if a corporation has granted an option to a qualified donee in a taxation year, no amount in respect of the option is to be included in computing an amount under any of paragraphs a to e of section 710 in respect of the corporation for any year.

2012, c. 8, s. 66.

716.0.5. Section 716.0.6 applies if

(1)  the consideration received by the corporation from the qualified donee for the property, and

(2)  the consideration received by the corporation from the qualified donee for the option, or

ii.  the corporation establishes to the satisfaction of the Minister that the granting of the option or the disposition of the property was made by the corporation with the intention to make a gift to the qualified donee.

2012, c. 8, s. 66.

716.0.6. If this section applies because of section 716.0.5, the following rules apply despite paragraph a of section 296:

(a)  the corporation is deemed to have received proceeds of disposition of the property equal to the property’s fair market value at the particular time referred to in paragraph b of section 716.0.5; and

(b)  there shall be included in the aggregate referred to in paragraph a of section 710, for the corporation’s taxation year that includes the particular time, the amount by which the property’s fair market value exceeds the aggregate of the amounts described in subparagraphs 1 and 2 of subparagraph i of paragraph c of section 716.0.5.

2012, c. 8, s. 66.

716.0.7. If an option to acquire a particular property of a corporation is granted to a qualified donee and the option is disposed of by the qualified donee (otherwise than by the exercise of the option) at a particular time, the following rules apply:

(a)  the corporation is deemed to dispose of a property at the particular time

i.  the adjusted cost base of which to the corporation immediately before the particular time is equal to the consideration paid by the qualified donee for the option, and

ii.  the proceeds of disposition of which are equal to the lesser of the fair market value of the particular property at the particular time and the fair market value of any consideration (other than a non-qualifying security of a person) received by the qualified donee for the option; and

(b)  there shall be included in the aggregate referred to in paragraph a of section 710 for the corporation’s taxation year that includes the particular time the amount by which the proceeds of disposition as determined by subparagraph ii of paragraph a exceed the consideration paid by the qualified donee for the option.

2012, c. 8, s. 66.

716.0.8. Section 716.0.9 applies if a qualified donee has issued to a corporation a receipt referred to in section 712 in respect of a transfer of a property (in this section and section 716.0.9 referred to as the “original property”) and a property (in this section and sections 716.0.9 to 716.0.11 referred to as the “particular property”) that is

(a)  the original property is later transferred to the corporation (unless that later transfer is reasonable consideration or remuneration for property acquired by or services rendered to a person); or

(b)  any other property that may reasonably be considered compensation for or a substitute for, in whole or in part, the original property, is later transferred to the corporation.

2012, c. 8, s. 66.

716.0.9. If this section applies because of section 716.0.8, the following rules apply:

(a)  irrespective of whether the transfer of the original property by the corporation is a gift, the corporation is deemed not to have disposed of the original property at the time of that transfer nor to have made a gift;

(b)  if the particular property is identical to the original property, the particular property is deemed to be the original property; and

(c)  if the particular property is not the original property,

i.  the corporation is deemed to have disposed of the original property at the time that the particular property is transferred to the corporation for proceeds of disposition equal to the greater of the fair market value of the particular property at that time and the fair market value of the original property at the time that it was transferred by the corporation to the qualified donee, and

ii.  if, but for paragraph a, the transfer of the original property by the corporation would be a gift, the corporation is deemed to have, at the time of that transfer, transferred to the qualified donee a property that is the subject of a gift having a fair market value equal to the amount by which the fair market value of the original property at the time of that transfer exceeds the fair market value of the particular property at the time that it is transferred to the corporation.

2012, c. 8, s. 66.

716.0.10. If section 716.0.9 applies in respect of a transfer of a particular property to a corporation and that particular property has a fair market value greater than $50, the transferor must, in respect of that transfer, file a return containing prescribed information with the Minister not later than 90 days after the day on which the particular property was transferred and provide a copy of the return to the corporation.

2012, c. 8, s. 66.

716.0.11. If section 716.0.9 applies in respect of a transfer of a particular property to a corporation, the Minister may, despite sections 1010 to 1011, make any assessment, reassessment or additional assessment of tax, interest or penalties payable under this Part by a person for any taxation year to the extent that the assessment, reassessment or additional assessment can reasonably be regarded as relating to the transfer of the particular property.

(b)  the aggregate of all amounts each of which is equal to such proportion of the amount that is renounced under section 726.4.17.13 by a partnership in respect of a security issue the proceeds of which have been used to acquire flow-through shares issued by a corporation as is represented by the ratio between, on the one hand, the aggregate determined under subparagraph i of paragraph a of section 726.4.10 in respect of the individual, for a taxation year ending at or before that time, relating to Canadian exploration expenses incurred out of the portion, subscribed by the partnership, of the proceeds of the issue of the flow-through shares and, on the other hand, the aggregate described in subparagraph b of the second paragraph of section 726.4.17.13 in respect of the security issue.

However, subject to the third paragraph, the amount that an individual may include for a taxation year, under subparagraph a of the first paragraph, in his issue base relating to certain issue expenses in relation to a share issue, shall in no case be greater than the amount by which

(a)  the aggregate of

i.  the amount of the consideration paid by the individual to acquire shares at the time of the share issue; and

ii.  where the amount, or part of the amount, is an amount included in the issue base by reason of the individual’s being a member of a particular partnership, the amount that may reasonably be considered to be the individual’s share in the consideration that the particular partnership, or, as the case may be, another partnership, paid to acquire shares at the time of the share issue; exceeds

(b)  the aggregate of

i.  the amounts renounced by a corporation at or before the end of the year to the individual in respect of the shares contemplated in subparagraph i of subparagraph a under section 359.2 or 359.4, or that may reasonably be expected to be renounced by the corporation after the end of the year to the individual in respect of the said shares under the said sections;

ii.  the individual’s share and, where applicable, the share of any other person having possessed or able to acquire the individual’s interest in the particular partnership contemplated in subparagraph ii of subparagraph a, in the aggregate of the amounts renounced by a corporation at or before the end of the year to a partnership in respect of the shares contemplated in subparagraph ii of subparagraph a under section 359.2 or 359.4, or that may reasonably be expected to be renounced by the corporation after the end of the year to a partnership in respect of the said shares under the said sections; and

iii.  the amounts previously included under this section in the individual’s issue base in relation to the said share issue.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, where at any time in a taxation year an individual is a limited partner, within the meaning of section 613.6, of a partnership, the following rules apply:

(a)  the aggregate of all amounts each of which is an amount determined under subparagraph a or b of the first paragraph by reference to the portion, which is referred to in subparagraph i of paragraph a of section 726.4.10 for the year in respect of the individual, of his share of the Canadian exploration expenses incurred by the partnership in a fiscal period thereof ending in the year shall in no case be greater than the amount by which the amount determined for the individual under the second paragraph of section 613.1, in respect of the partnership at the end of that fiscal period, exceeds the aggregate of

i.  any amount that may reasonably be expected to be an amount referred to in subparagraph c of the second paragraph of the said section 613.1 for the individual, or for another person having acquired the individual’s partnership interest, in respect of the partnership at the end of a subsequent fiscal period thereof; and

ii.  all amounts each of which is the individual’s share of any loss of the partnership for the fiscal period from a business, other than a farming business, or from property, that may be deducted by the individual in computing his income for the year or included in computing his non-capital loss for the year;

(b)  the amount of the reduction, by reason of subparagraph a, of the aggregate described firstly in that subparagraph in respect of the individual for the year is deemed to be a loss of the individual as a limited partner in respect of the partnership for the year.

CHAPTER II.1 ELECTION FOR PROPERTY OWNED BY AN INDIVIDUAL ON 22 FEBRUARY 1994

1996, c. 39, s. 186.

726.9.2. Subject to section 726.9.3, where an individual, other than a trust, or a personal trust, each of which is referred to in this chapter as the “elector”, elects in prescribed form to have the provisions of this section apply in respect of

(a)  a capital property, other than an interest in a trust referred to in any of paragraphs b to f of the definition of “flow-through entity” in the first paragraph of section 251.1, owned at the end of 22 February 1994 by the elector, the property is deemed, except for the purposes of Division VI of Chapter II of Title II of Book III, sections 218 to 220 and paragraph a of section 725.3,

i.  to have been disposed of by the elector at that time for proceeds of disposition equal to the greater of

(1)  the amount by which the amount designated in respect of the capital property in the election exceeds the amount that would, if the disposition were a disposition for the purposes of Division VI of Chapter II of Title II of Book III or sections 218 to 220, be included under that division and those sections as a result of the disposition in computing the income of the elector, and

(2)  the adjusted cost base to the elector of the capital property immediately before the disposition, and

ii.  to have been reacquired by the elector immediately after that time at a cost equal to

(1)  where the capital property is an interest in or a share of the capital stock of a flow-through entity, within the meaning assigned by section 251.1, of the elector, the cost to the elector of the property immediately before the disposition referred to in subparagraph i,

(2)  where an amount would, if the disposition referred to in subparagraph i were a disposition for the purposes of Division VI of Chapter II of Title II of Book III or sections 218 to 220, be included under that division and those sections as a result of the disposition in computing the income of the elector, the lesser of the elector’s proceeds of disposition of the property determined under subparagraph i, and the amount determined by the formula

A − B;

(3)  in any other case, the lesser of the amount designated in respect of the capital property in the election, and the amount by which the fair market value of the property at that time exceeds the amount determined by the formula

C − 1.1D;

(b)  a business carried on by the elector, otherwise than as a member of a partnership, on 22 February 1994,

i.  the amount that would be determined under subparagraph ii of paragraph a of section 105 at the end of 22 February 1994 in respect of the elector if the fiscal period of the business ended at that time and all the incorporeal capital property owned at that time by the elector in respect of the business were disposed of by the elector immediately before that time for proceeds of disposition equal to the amount designated in the election in respect of the business is deemed to be a taxable capital gain of the elector for the taxation year in which the fiscal period of the business that includes that time ends from the disposition of a particular property, and

ii.  for the purposes of subparagraph b of the first paragraph of section 106.1, the amount of the taxable capital gain determined under subparagraph i is deemed to have been claimed, by a person who does not deal at arm’s length with each particular person or partnership that does not deal at arm’s length with the elector, as a deduction under this Title in respect of a disposition at that time of the incorporeal capital property; and

(c)  an interest owned at the end of 22 February 1994 by the elector in a trust referred to in any of paragraphs b to f of the definition of “flow-through entity” in the first paragraph of section 251.1, the elector is deemed to have a capital gain for the year from the disposition on 22 February 1994 of property equal to the lesser of

i.  the total of amounts designated in elections made under this section by the elector in respect of interests in the trust, and

ii.  4/3 of the amount that would, if all of the trust’s capital properties were disposed of at the end of 22 February 1994 for proceeds of disposition equal to their fair market value at that time and that portion of the trust’s capital gains and capital losses or its net taxable capital gains, as the case may be, arising from the dispositions as can reasonably be considered to represent the elector’s share thereof were allocated to or designated in respect of the elector, be the increase in the annual gains limit of the elector for the 1994 taxation year as a result of the dispositions.

For the purposes of the formulas in subparagraphs 2 and 3 of subparagraph ii of subparagraph a of the first paragraph,

(a)  A is the amount by which the fair market value of the capital property at the end of 22 February 1994 exceeds the amount that would, if the disposition referred to in subparagraph i of subparagraph a of the first paragraph were a disposition for the purposes of Division VI of Chapter II of Title II of Book III or sections 218 to 220, be included under that division and those sections as a result of the disposition in computing the income of the elector;

(b)  B is the amount that would be determined by the formula in subparagraph  3 of subparagraph ii of subparagraph a of the first paragraph in respect of the capital property if that subparagraph 3 applied to the property;

(c)  C is the amount designated in respect of the capital property in the election; and

(d)  D is the fair market value of the capital property at the end of 22 February 1994.

For the purposes of this Title, the elector is deemed to have disposed of the particular property referred to in subparagraph i of subparagraph b of the first paragraph at the end of 22 February 1994.

726.9.3. Section 726.9.2 applies to a property or to a business of an elector only if

(a)  where the elector is an individual, other than a trust,

i.  its application to all of the properties in respect of which elections were made under that section by the elector or a spouse of the elector and to all the businesses in respect of which elections were made under that section by the elector

(1)  would result in an increase in the amount deductible under section 726.8 in computing the taxable income of the elector or a spouse of the elector, and

(2)  in respect of each of the taxation years 1994 and 1995, where no part of the taxable capital gain resulting from an election by the elector is included in computing the income of a spouse of the elector, would not result in the amount determined under paragraph a of section 726.8 for the year in respect of the elector being exceeded by the lesser of the amounts determined under paragraphs b and c of section 726.8 for the year in respect of the elector, and where no part of the taxable capital gain resulting from an election by the elector is included in computing the income of the elector, would not result in the amount determined under paragraph a of section 726.8 for the year in respect of a spouse of the elector being exceeded by the lesser of the amounts determined under paragraphs b and c of section 726.8 for the year in respect of the spouse,

ii.  the amount designated in the election in respect of the property exceeds 11/10 of its fair market value at the end of 22 February 1994, or

iii.  the amount designated in the election in respect of the business is $1.00 or exceeds 11/10 of the fair market value at the end of 22 February 1994 of all the incorporeal capital property owned at that time by the elector in respect of the business; and

(b)  where the elector is a personal trust, its application to all of the properties in respect of which an election was made under that section 726.9.2 by the elector would result in

i.  an increase in the amount deemed by section 668.1 to be a taxable capital gain of an individual, other than a trust, who was a beneficiary under the trust at the end of 22 February 1994 and resident in Canada at any time in the individual’s taxation year in which the trust’s taxation year that includes that day ends, or

ii.  where section 726.19 applies to the trust for the trust’s taxation year that includes 22 February 1994, an increase in the amount deductible under that section in computing the trust’s taxable income for that year.

1996, c. 39, s. 186; 2005, c. 1, s. 140.

726.9.4. Where an elector is deemed by section 726.9.2 to have disposed of a non-qualifying immovable property,

(a)  in computing the elector’s taxable capital gain from the disposition, there shall be deducted an amount equal to 3/4 of the amount by which the elector’s capital gain from the disposition exceeds the elector’s eligible immovable property gain from the disposition; and

(b)  in determining at any time after the disposition the capital cost to the elector of the property, where it is a depreciable property, and the adjusted cost base to the elector of the property in any other case, other than where the property was at the end of 22 February 1994 an interest in or a share of the capital stock of a flow-through entity within the meaning assigned by the first paragraph of section 251.1, there shall be deducted 4/3 of the amount determined under paragraph a in respect of the property.

1996, c. 39, s. 186.

726.9.5. Where an elector is deemed by subparagraph a of the first paragraph of section 726.9.2 to have reacquired a property, there shall be deducted in computing the adjusted cost base to the elector of the property at any time after the reacquisition the amount by which

(a)  the amount by which the amount designated in the election under section 726.9.2 in respect of the property exceeds the product obtained by multiplying 1.1 by the fair market value of the property at the end of 22 February 1994, exceeds

(b)  where the property is an interest in or a share of the capital stock of a flow-through entity, within the meaning assigned by the first paragraph of section 251.1, 4/3 of the taxable capital gain that would have resulted from the election if the amount designated in the election were equal to the fair market value of the property at the end of 22 February 1994 and, in any other case, the fair market value of the property at the end of 22 February 1994.

1996, c. 39, s. 186.

726.9.6. Where an elector is deemed by section 726.9.2 to have disposed of an interest in a partnership, in computing the adjusted cost base to the elector of the interest immediately before the disposition

(a)  there shall be added the amount determined by the formula

(A − B) × (C / D) + E; and

(b)  there shall be deducted the amount determined by the formula

(B − A) × (C / D) − E.

For the purposes of the formulas in subparagraphs a and b of the first paragraph,

(a)  A is the aggregate of all amounts each of which is the elector’s share of the partnership’s income, other than a taxable capital gain from the disposition of a property, from a source in Canada or from sources in another place for its fiscal period that includes 22 February 1994, in this paragraph referred to as the “particular period” ;

1996, c. 39, s. 186; 2000, c. 5, s. 156.

726.9.11. An election made under section 726.9.2 cannot be revoked or amended where the amount designated in the election exceeds the product obtained by multiplying 11/10 by

CHAPTER III SPECIAL RULES OF APPLICATION

1987, c. 67, s. 142.

726.10.

Despite sections 726.7 and 726.7.1, no amount may be deducted under this Title in respect of the capital gain of an individual for a particular taxation year in computing the individual’s taxable income for the particular year or any subsequent taxation year, if the individual knowingly or under circumstances amounting to gross negligence

(a)  fails to file the individual’s fiscal return for the particular year within one year after the individual’s filing-due date for the particular year; or

(b)  fails to report the capital gain in the fiscal return the individual was required to file for the particular year under section 1000.

726.13. Despite sections 726.7 and 726.7.1, no amount may be deducted under this Title in computing an individual’s taxable income for a taxation year in respect of a capital gain of the individual for the year, if the capital gain is from the disposition of a property, which disposition is part of a series of transactions or events

(a)  that includes a dividend received by a corporation to which dividend section 308.1 does not apply but would apply if this Act were read without reference to section 308.3; or

(b)  in which any property is acquired by a corporation or partnership for consideration that is significantly less than the fair market value of the property at the time of acquisition, other than an acquisition as the result of an amalgamation or merger of corporations or the winding-up of a corporation or partnership or a distribution of property of a trust in satisfaction of all or part of a corporation’s capital interest in the trust.

(a)  there was no delay or postponement of the payment of dividends and no failure to pay dividends in respect of the share;

(b)  there was no variation from year to year in the amount of dividends payable in respect of the share other than where the amount of dividends payable is expressed as an invariant percentage of or by reference to an invariant difference between the dividend expressed as a rate of interest and a generally quoted market interest rate; and

726.17. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Act, where it may reasonably be considered that one of the main reasons for an individual acquiring, holding or having an interest in a partnership or trust, other than an interest in a personal trust, or a share of an investment corporation, mortgage investment corporation or mutual fund corporation, or that one of the main reasons for the existence of any terms, conditions, rights or other attributes of the interest or share, as the case may be, is to enable the individual to receive or have allocated to him a percentage of any capital gain or taxable capital gain of the partnership, trust or corporation that is larger than the percentage of the income of the partnership, trust or corporation to which the individual is entitled, the following rules apply:

(a)  no amount may be deducted under this Title by the individual in respect of any gain contemplated in this section allocated or distributed to him after 21 November 1985; and

A - B.

In the formula in the first paragraph,

(a)  A is the aggregate of all amounts each of which is an amount deductible under this Title by the individual for the particular year or a preceding taxation year, computed without reference to this section; and

1993, c. 19, s. 43.

CHAPTER I INTERPRETATION

1993, c. 19, s. 43.

726.20.1. In this Title,

“eligible taxable capital gain amount” of an individual for a taxation year from the disposition of a resource property, referred to in this definition as the “particular property”, means the least of

(a)  subject to the third paragraph, the amount by which the amount determined under the second paragraph is exceeded by 1/2 of

The amount to which the portion of paragraph a of the definition of “eligible taxable capital gain amount” in the first paragraph before subparagraph i refers is the aggregate of

(a)  any amount that can reasonably be considered as deducted by the individual under this Title in respect of the disposition of the particular property in computing the individual’s taxable income for a preceding taxation year that began after 17 October 2000;

(b)  any amount that is the quotient obtained when the amount that can reasonably be considered as deducted by the individual under this Title in respect of the disposition of the particular property in computing the individual’s taxable income for a preceding taxation year that includes 28 February 2000 or 17 October 2000, or that began after 28 February 2000 and ended before 17 October 2000, is divided by twice the fraction in paragraphs a to d of section 231.0.1 that applies to the individual for that preceding taxation year; and

(c)  2/3 of any amount that can reasonably be considered as deducted by the individual under this Title in respect of the disposition of the particular property in computing the individual’s taxable income for a preceding taxation year that ended before 28 February 2000.

(c)  the reference to the fraction “2/3” in subparagraph c of the second paragraph shall be read as a reference to the fraction obtained when the fraction in paragraphs a to d of section 231.0.1 that applies to the individual for the year is divided by 3/4.

When paragraph c of the definition of “eligible taxable capital gain amount” in the first paragraph applies

(a)  to a taxation year that ends after 18 March 2007 and that includes 19 March 2007, it is to be read as follows:

“(c) nil, where the particular property is property described in any of sections 726.7 to 726.7.2 and the amount by which the total of the amount determined in respect of the individual for the year by the formula provided for in subparagraph a of the first paragraph of section 726.7 and, if the particular property was disposed of after 18 March 2007, $125,000, exceeds the amount, if any, deducted under Title VI.5 by the individual in computing the individual’s taxable income for the year, otherwise than under section 726.7.3 if the particular property was disposed of before 19 March 2007, is not nil;”; and

(b)  to a taxation year that begins after 19 March 2007 in relation to a resource property the disposition of which occurred before that date, it is to be read as follows:

“(c) nil, where the particular property is property described in any of sections 726.7 to 726.7.2 and the amount by which the amount that would be determined in respect of the individual for the year by the formula provided for in subparagraph a of the first paragraph of section 726.7 if the formula were read as if “$375,000” was replaced by “$250,000”, exceeds the amount, if any, deducted under Title VI.5 by the individual in computing the individual’s taxable income for the year is not nil;”.

For the purposes of paragraph d of the definition of “resource property” in the first paragraph, if an individual makes an election under subparagraph ii of that paragraph d, the following rules apply:

(a)  the election is not valid unless it was made on behalf of the individual and of each other individual who is a member of the partnership and the individual had authority to act for the partnership;

(b)  if the election is valid because of subparagraph a, each other individual who is a member of the partnership in the fiscal period is deemed to have made the election; and

(c)  despite subparagraph a, an election deemed to have been made by a member under paragraph b is deemed to be a valid election made by that member.

(b)  the aggregate of all amounts each of which is the eligible taxable capital gain amount of the individual for the year from the disposition of a resource property;

(c)  the amount that would be determined in respect of the individual for the year under paragraph b of section 28 in respect of capital gains and capital losses if the only properties referred to in that paragraph were resource properties;

(a)  all of the outstanding preferred shares issued by the cooperative or federation of cooperatives, as the case may be, and relating to qualified patronage dividends for a particular taxation year have been exchanged for consideration consisting only of preferred shares or fractions of such shares; and

(b)  except in respect of the order of priority for the repayment of shares in the event of a winding-up, the new preferred shares or the fractions of such shares have the same characteristics as do the shares and fractions of shares they replace.

The operations to which the third paragraph refers are the following:

(a)  an amalgamation, within the meaning of section 544, an amalgamation by absorption, within the meaning of Division III of Chapter XXI of Title I of the Cooperatives Act (chapter C-67.2), or a winding-up of the cooperative or federation of cooperatives, if, as a consequence of the amalgamation or winding-up, the member receives from another cooperative or federation of cooperatives a new preferred share issued by the other cooperative or federation of cooperatives, as the case may be, to replace the preferred share so disposed of; and

(b)  a conversion of the preferred share or a reorganization of the capital stock of the cooperative or federation of cooperatives, if, as a consequence of the conversion or reorganization, the member receives from the cooperative or federation of cooperatives a new preferred share to replace the preferred share so disposed of.

726.40. In this Title, the following rules apply in respect of a taxpayer if one or more partnerships (each of which is in this section referred to as an “interposed partnership”) are interposed between the taxpayer and a given partnership that is a certified forest producer under the Sustainable Forest Development Act (chapter A-18.1) in respect of a private forest at the end of a given fiscal period of the given partnership:

(a)  the taxpayer is deemed to be a member of a particular partnership at the end of a particular fiscal period of the particular partnership and that particular fiscal period is deemed to end in the taxpayer’s particular taxation year in which ends the fiscal period of the interposed partnership of which the taxpayer is directly a member (in this section referred to as the “last interposed partnership”), if

i.  the particular fiscal period is that which ends in the fiscal period (in this section referred to as the “interposed fiscal period”) of the interposed partnership that is a member of the particular partnership at the end of that particular fiscal period, and

ii.  the taxpayer is a member, or deemed to be a member under this paragraph, of the interposed partnership described in subparagraph i at the end of the interposed partnership’s interposed fiscal period;

(b)  the taxpayer is deemed to be a member of the given partnership at the end of the particular taxation year if

i.  the taxpayer is a member of the last interposed partnership throughout the part of the particular taxation year that begins immediately after the end of that interposed partnership’s interposed fiscal period, and

ii.  in the period described in subparagraph i, the link between the taxpayer and the given partnership did not cease to exist as a result of the interposed partnership ceasing, in the part of the interposed fiscal period of an interposed partnership that begins immediately after the end of the particular fiscal period of the particular partnership referred to in paragraph a of which the interposed partnership was a member at that time, to be a member of that particular partnership;

(c)  for the purpose of determining the taxpayer’s share in an amount in respect of the given partnership for the given fiscal period, the agreed proportion in respect of the taxpayer for that fiscal period of the given partnership is deemed to be equal to the product obtained by multiplying the agreed proportion in respect of the taxpayer for the interposed fiscal period of the last interposed partnership of which the taxpayer is directly a member, by

i.  if there is only one interposed partnership, the agreed proportion in respect of the interposed partnership for the given partnership’s given fiscal period, or

ii.  if there is more than one interposed partnership, the result obtained by multiplying together all proportions each of which is the agreed proportion in respect of an interposed partnership for the particular fiscal period of the particular partnership referred to in paragraph a of which the interposed partnership is a member at the end of that particular fiscal period; and

(d)  the taxpayer is deemed to cease to be a member of the given partnership in a taxation year subsequent to the particular year, if any of the following events occurs and, as a result, the link between the taxpayer and that given partnership ceases to exist:

i.  at a particular time in that subsequent taxation year, the taxpayer ceases to be a member of the last interposed partnership,

ii.  the last interposed partnership ceases, at a particular time in its subsequent fiscal period that ends in that subsequent taxation year, to be a member of the particular partnership whose particular fiscal period ends in that subsequent fiscal period, or

iii.  an interposed partnership ceases, at a particular time in its subsequent fiscal period that would be deemed to end in the subsequent taxation year if paragraph a were applied to that interposed partnership for that fiscal period, without reference to the event described in this subparagraph, to be a member of the particular partnership whose particular fiscal period ends in the subsequent fiscal period.

2017, c. 29, s. 112.

726.41. Section 726.40 does not apply in respect of a taxpayer, in relation to a given partnership, if the Minister is of the opinion that the interposition, between the taxpayer and the given partnership, of one or more other partnerships is part of an operation or transaction or of a series of operations or transactions, one of the purposes of which is to cause the taxpayer to be able to deduct, in computing taxable income for a taxation year under this Title, an amount greater than the amount that the taxpayer could have so deducted for that taxation year, but for that interposition.

2017, c. 29, s. 112.

CHAPTER II DEDUCTION

2017, c. 29, s. 112.

726.42. An eligible taxpayer for a taxation year ending before 1 January 2026 who, at the end of the year, is a certified forest producer under the Sustainable Forest Development Act (chapter A-18.1) in respect of a private forest, or is a member of a partnership that is such a certified forest producer in respect of a private forest at the end of a fiscal period of the partnership that ends in the year, may deduct in computing taxable income for the year, if the taxpayer encloses the documents described in the third paragraph with the fiscal return the taxpayer is required to file for the year under section 1000, an amount not exceeding the lesser of $170,000 and 85% of the amount determined by the formula

(A − B) + (C − D).

In the formula in the first paragraph,

(a)  A is the aggregate of all amounts each of which is the eligible taxpayer’s income deriving from recognized commercial activities for the year in respect of a private forest;

(b)  B is the aggregate of all amounts each of which is the eligible taxpayer’s loss deriving from recognized commercial activities for the year in respect of a private forest;

(c)  C is the aggregate of all amounts each of which is the eligible taxpayer’s share of the partnership’s income deriving from recognized commercial activities for its fiscal period that ends in the year in respect of a private forest; and

(d)  D is the aggregate of all amounts each of which is the eligible taxpayer’s share of the partnership’s loss deriving from recognized commercial activities for its fiscal period that ends in the year in respect of a private forest.

The documents to which the first paragraph refers are

(a)  the prescribed form containing prescribed information; and

(b)  a copy of the valid qualification certificate issued to the eligible taxpayer or to the partnership, as the case may be, attesting to the eligible taxpayer’s or the partnership’s capacity as a certified forest producer in respect of the private forest.

For the purposes of subparagraphs c and d of the second paragraph, the share, for a fiscal period of a partnership, of a taxpayer who is a member of the partnership of the income or loss of the partnership deriving from recognized commercial activities for the fiscal period in respect of a private forest is equal to the agreed proportion of the income or loss in respect of the taxpayer for the fiscal period.

The taxpayer to which the first paragraph refers shall include, in computing taxable income for the seventh taxation year that follows the particular year, an amount equal to the amount by which the particular amount exceeds the aggregate of all amounts each of which is an amount that the taxpayer included, under this section or subparagraph a of the first or second paragraph of section 726.43.2, in computing taxable income, in respect of the particular amount, for a preceding taxation year.

2017, c. 29, s. 112; 2021, c. 14, s. 65.

726.43.1. A taxpayer who deducted an amount in computing taxable income for a particular taxation year under section 726.42, all or part of which may reasonably be considered to derive from recognized commercial activities in respect of a private forest carried on after 9 March 2020 (the amount or part of the amount being in this section referred to as the “particular amount”), shall include, in computing taxable income for each taxation year (in this paragraph referred to as an “inclusion year”) that is one of the nine taxation years that follow the particular year, except a taxation year for which the taxpayer is required to include an amount in computing taxable income under subparagraph b of the first or second paragraph of section 726.43.2 in respect of the particular amount, an amount at least equal to 10% of the particular amount unless, for the inclusion year, that minimum amount is greater than the excess amount that corresponds to the amount by which the particular amount exceeds the aggregate of all amounts each of which is an amount that the taxpayer included in computing taxable income in respect of the particular amount under this section or subparagraph b of the first or second paragraph of section 726.43.2 for a taxation year preceding the inclusion year, in which case the taxpayer shall include the excess amount in computing taxable income for the inclusion year.

The taxpayer to which the first paragraph refers shall include, in computing taxable income for the tenth taxation year that follows the particular year, an amount equal to the amount by which the particular amount exceeds the aggregate of all amounts each of which is an amount that the taxpayer included, under this section or subparagraph b of the first or second paragraph of section 726.43.2, in computing taxable income, in respect of the particular amount, for a preceding taxation year.

2021, c. 14, s. 66.

726.43.2.

(a)  where the particular amount is referred to in the first paragraph of section 726.43, the amount by which the particular amount exceeds the aggregate of all amounts each of which is an amount that the taxpayer included, in computing taxable income, in respect of the particular amount, under section 726.43, for a taxation year preceding the year concerned; or

(b)  where the particular amount is referred to in the first paragraph of section 726.43.1, the amount by which the particular amount exceeds the aggregate of all amounts each of which is an amount that the taxpayer included, in computing taxable income, in respect of the particular amount, under section 726.43.1, for a taxation year preceding the year concerned.

Where the particular amount referred to in the first paragraph of section 726.43 or 726.43.1 and determined in relation to a taxpayer for a particular taxation year is in respect of more than one private forest, the taxpayer shall include, in computing taxable income for a year concerned, an amount equal to

(a)  where the particular amount is referred to in the first paragraph of section 726.43, the greater of the amount that the taxpayer should include in respect of the particular amount for the year concerned but for this paragraph and the lesser of the proportion, described in the fourth paragraph, of the particular amount and the amount by which the particular amount exceeds the aggregate of all amounts each of which is an amount that the taxpayer included in respect of the particular amount in computing taxable income, under section 726.43 or this paragraph, for a taxation year preceding the year concerned; or

(c)  the taxation year in which the taxpayer ceases to be a member of a partnership referred to in section 726.42.

The proportion to which subparagraphs a and b of the second paragraph refer is the proportion that the aggregate of all amounts each of which is an amount referred to in subparagraph a or c of the second paragraph of section 726.42 for the particular year in relation to a private forest in respect of which any of subparagraphs a to c of the third paragraph applies is of the aggregate of all amounts each of which is an amount referred to in subparagraph a or c of the second paragraph of section 726.42 for the particular year in relation to a private forest.

2021, c. 14, s. 66.

726.44.

733.1. For the purposes of this Title, a taxpayer’s non-capital loss, farm loss, net capital loss, restricted farm loss and limited partnership loss for a taxation year during which the taxpayer was not resident in Canada shall be determined as if, in the part of the year throughout which the individual was not resident in Canada, in the case of an individual referred to in any of sections 23, 24 and 25 for the year, and throughout the year, in any other case, the taxpayer had no income other than income described in subparagraphs a to l of the first paragraph of section 1090, the taxpayer’s only taxable capital gains and allowable capital losses were taxable capital gains and allowable capital losses from the disposition of taxable Canadian property, other than tax-agreement-protected property, and the taxpayer’s only other losses were losses from the duties of an office or employment performed by the taxpayer in Canada and the taxpayer’s only other losses from businesses, other than tax-agreement-protected businesses, carried on by the taxpayer in Canada that were attributable, in the manner prescribed for the purposes of section 1090, to an establishment in Canada.

(a)  the amounts deducted under this Title in respect of that non-capital loss, farm loss, restricted farm loss or limited partnership loss in computing taxable income for taxation years preceding the particular taxation year, and

(b)  the deduction that was claimed under section 729 in respect of that net capital loss for taxation years preceding the particular taxation year.

1981, c. 12, s. 7; 1985, c. 25, s. 120; 1997, c. 3, s. 71; 2000, c. 39, s. 45.

736. Despite section 729 and subject to section 736.0.5, where, at any time (in this section referred to as “that time”) a taxpayer is subject to a loss restriction event, the following rules apply:

(a)  no amount in respect of a net capital loss for a taxation year ending before that time is deductible in computing the taxpayer’s taxable income for a taxation year ending after that time; and

(b)  no amount in respect of a net capital loss for a taxation year ending after that time is deductible in computing the taxpayer’s taxable income for a taxation year ending before that time.

In addition, where, at that time, the taxpayer neither became nor ceased to be exempt from tax under this Part on the taxpayer’s taxable income, the following rules apply:

(a)  in computing the adjusted cost base to the taxpayer at and after that time of each capital property, other than a depreciable property, owned by the taxpayer immediately before that time, there is to be deducted an amount equal to the amount by which the adjusted cost base to the taxpayer of the capital property immediately before that time exceeds its fair market value immediately before that time;

(b)  each amount required by subparagraph a to be deducted in computing the adjusted cost base to the taxpayer of a property is deemed to be a capital loss of the taxpayer for the taxation year ending immediately before that time from the disposition of the property;

(c)  each capital property that is owned by the taxpayer immediately before that time (other than a property in respect of which an amount would, but for this subparagraph, be required under subparagraph a to be deducted in computing its adjusted cost base to the taxpayer or a depreciable property of a prescribed class to which, but for this subparagraph, paragraph a of section 736.0.2 would apply) and that the taxpayer designates after 19 December 2006 in accordance with paragraph e of subsection 4 of section 111 of the Income Tax Act (R.S.C. 1985, c. 1 (5th Suppl.)) in respect of the loss restriction event, is deemed to have been disposed of by the taxpayer immediately before the time that is immediately before that time for proceeds of disposition equal to the lesser of the fair market value of the capital property immediately before that time and the greater of the adjusted cost base to the taxpayer of the capital property immediately before the disposition and the amount designated by the taxpayer after 19 December 2006, in respect of the loss restriction event, in accordance with that paragraph e in respect of the capital property, and is deemed, subject to the third paragraph, to have been reacquired by the taxpayer at that time at a cost equal to those proceeds of disposition; and

(d)  each amount that under subparagraph b or c is a capital loss or gain of the taxpayer from a disposition of a property for the taxation year ending immediately before that time is deemed, for the purposes of paragraph b of section 570, to be a capital loss or gain, as the case may be, of the taxpayer from the disposition of the property immediately before the time that a capital property of the taxpayer in respect of which subparagraph c would be applicable would be deemed by that subparagraph to have been disposed of by the taxpayer.

Despite subparagraph c of the second paragraph and for the purposes of Division II of Chapter II of Title III of Book III, sections 130, 130.1, 142 and 149 and any regulation made under paragraph a of section 130 or section 130.1, where the property is depreciable property of the taxpayer the capital cost of which to the taxpayer immediately before the disposition exceeds the proceeds of disposition determined under that subparagraph c, the following rules apply:

(a)  the capital cost of the property to the taxpayer at that time is deemed to be the amount that was its capital cost immediately before the disposition; and

(b)  the excess is deemed to have been allowed to the taxpayer in respect of the property under the regulations made under paragraph a of section 130 in computing the taxpayer’s income for taxation years that ended before that time.

For the purposes of subparagraph c of the second paragraph, the taxpayer is deemed to have designated a particular capital property, as well as an amount in its respect, after 19 December 2006 in accordance with paragraph e of subsection 4 of section 111 of the Income Tax Act in respect of the loss restriction event, or to have designated after that date, in respect of that event, in accordance with that paragraph e in respect of a particular capital property, a particular amount different from that designated by the taxpayer after that date, in relation to that event, in accordance with that paragraph e in its respect, if

(a)  the taxpayer files an application with the Minister in that respect, in a document containing information that is satisfactory to the Minister, on or before the day that is 90 days after the day on which a notice of assessment of tax payable for the taxation year ending immediately before that time or a notice that no tax is payable for the year is sent to the taxpayer;

(b)  it may reasonably be considered that the taxpayer’s designation regarding the particular capital property and the amount in its respect, or the change made to the amount designated in respect of the particular capital property, as the case may be, is justified only because of a difference between tax attributes, in particular the adjusted cost base of the particular capital property or the undeducted balance of a deductible loss, for the purposes of Part I of the Income Tax Act and the corresponding tax attributes for the purposes of this Part; and

(c)  the Minister is of the opinion that the tax consequences of the application are consistent with the objectives of subparagraph c of the second paragraph, and grants the application.

Chapter V.2 of Title II of Book I applies in relation to a designation made under paragraph e of subsection 4 of section 111 of the Income Tax Act or in relation to a designation made under this section before 20 December 2006.

1972, c. 23, s. 554; 1974, c. 18, s. 28; 1984, c. 15, s. 167; 1985, c. 25, s. 120; 1989, c. 77, s. 80; 1993, c. 16, s. 275; 1997, c. 3, s. 71; 2004, c. 4, s. 5; 2009, c. 5, s. 249; 2017, c. 1, s. 176.

736.0.0.1. For the purposes of section 736, if at a particular time a taxpayer owes a foreign currency debt in respect of which the taxpayer would have had, if the foreign currency debt had been repaid at that time, a capital loss or gain, the taxpayer is deemed to own at the time (in this section referred to as the “measurement time”) that is immediately before the particular time a property

(a)  the adjusted cost base of which at the measurement time is equal to the amount determined by the formula

A + B - C; and

(b)  the fair market value of which is equal to the amount that would be the amount of principal owed by the taxpayer under the foreign currency debt at the measurement time if that amount were calculated using the exchange rate applicable at the time of the original borrowing.

In the formula in subparagraph a of the first paragraph,

(a)  A is the amount of principal owed by the taxpayer under the foreign currency debt at the measurement time, calculated using the exchange rate applicable at that time;

(b)  B is the portion of any gain, previously recognized in respect of the foreign currency debt because of this Title, that is reasonably attributable to the amount determined under subparagraph a; and

(c)  C is the portion of any capital loss, previously recognized in respect of the foreign currency debt because of this Title, that is reasonably attributable to the amount determined under subparagraph a.

736.0.1. Where, at any time, a taxpayer is subject to a loss restriction event, no amount in respect of a non-capital loss or farm loss for a taxation year ending before that time is deductible by the taxpayer for a taxation year ending after that time.

However, the taxpayer may deduct, for a particular taxation year ending after that time, such portion of a non-capital loss or farm loss, as the case may be, for a taxation year ending before that time as may reasonably be regarded as the taxpayer’s loss from carrying on a business and, where a business was carried on by the taxpayer in that taxation year, such portion of the non-capital loss as may reasonably be regarded as being attributable to an amount deductible under section 725.1.1 in computing the taxpayer’s taxable income for that taxation year, if the following conditions are met:

(a)  the business was carried on by the taxpayer for profit or with a reasonable expectation of profit throughout the particular year; and

(b)  the amount that the taxpayer may deduct must not exceed the aggregate of the taxpayer’s income for the particular year from the business and, where the taxpayer sold, leased, rented or developed properties or rendered services in the course of carrying on that business before that time, from any other business substantially all the income of which was derived from the sale, leasing, rental or development, as the case may be, of similar properties, or the rendering of similar services.

736.0.1.1. Where, at any time, a taxpayer is subject to a loss restriction event, no amount in respect of a non-capital loss or farm loss for a taxation year ending after that time is deductible by the taxpayer for a taxation year ending before that time.

However, the taxpayer may deduct, for a particular taxation year ending before that time, such portion of a non-capital loss or farm loss, as the case may be, for a taxation year ending after that time as may reasonably be regarded as the taxpayer’s loss from carrying on a business and, where a business was carried on by the taxpayer in that taxation year, such portion of the non-capital loss as may reasonably be regarded as being attributable to an amount deductible under section 725.1.1 in computing the taxpayer’s taxable income for that taxation year, if the following conditions are met:

(a)  the business was carried on by the taxpayer for profit or with a reasonable expectation of profit throughout the taxation year and in the particular year; and

(b)  the amount that the taxpayer may deduct must not exceed the taxpayer’s income for the particular year from the business and, where the taxpayer sold, leased, rented or developed properties or rendered services in the course of carrying on that business before that time, from any other business substantially all of the income of which was derived from the sale, leasing, rental or development, as the case may be, of similar properties, or the rendering of similar services.

Subject to section 736.0.5, where, at any time, a taxpayer, other than a taxpayer who at that time became or ceased to be exempt from tax under this Part on the taxpayer’s taxable income, is subject to a loss restriction event, no amount may be deducted under section 140 in computing the taxpayer’s income for the taxpayer’s taxation year ending immediately before that time and each amount that is the greatest amount that would, but for this section, have been deductible under section 140 in respect of a debt owing to the taxpayer immediately before that time is deemed to be a separate debt and is, despite any other provision of this Part, to be deducted as a bad debt under section 141 in computing the taxpayer’s income for the year.

In addition, the amount by which the debt exceeds that separate debt is deemed to be a separate debt incurred at the same time and under the same circumstances as the debt was incurred.

1989, c. 77, s. 82; 1995, c. 49, s. 236; 1997, c. 3, s. 71; 1997, c. 31, s. 72; 2017, c. 1, s. 179.

736.0.4. Where control of a corporation has been acquired at any time by a person or persons, such portion of the corporation’s non-capital loss for a taxation year ending before that time to the extent that it was not deductible in computing the corporation’s income for such a year and may be considered such a loss of a subsidiary, within the meaning of section 556, from carrying on a particular business and in respect of which sections 564.2, 564.3 and 564.4 apply, as they read on 12 November 1981, is deemed to be a non-capital loss of the corporation from carrying on the particular business of the subsidiary.

1984, c. 15, s. 167; 1997, c. 3, s. 71.

736.0.5. Where a taxpayer is subject to a loss restriction event at a particular time and it can reasonably be considered that the main reason that the taxpayer is subject to the loss restriction event was to cause subparagraph b of the second paragraph of section 736 or section 736.0.2 or 736.0.3.1 to apply, the following provisions do not apply with respect to the loss restriction event:

(a)  the said subparagraph b of the second paragraph of section 736, the said sections 736.0.2 and 736.0.3.1 and subparagraph c of the second paragraph of section 736;

(b)  where, but for paragraph a, the said subparagraph b of the second paragraph of section 736 would apply, subparagraph a of the second paragraph of section 736.

1989, c. 77, s. 83; 1997, c. 3, s. 71; 2017, c. 1, s. 180.

736.3. Despite section 727, an individual to whom the Minister grants an authorization following an application to that effect may deduct, under that section, in computing the individual’s taxable income for a particular taxation year an amount in respect of a non-capital loss sustained by the individual in a taxation year, in this section referred to as the “reimbursement year”, subsequent to the third taxation year that follows the particular taxation year, if

(a)  the individual deducted in computing the individual’s income for the reimbursement year, under section 78.1, an amount paid by or on behalf of the individual as the reimbursement of an amount the individual included in computing the individual’s income from an office or employment for the particular taxation year;

(b)  the amount for which the application is made does not exceed the portion of the non-capital loss sustained by the individual in the reimbursement year that may reasonably be considered to be attributable to the reimbursement referred to in paragraph a; and

(c)  in the Minister’s opinion, it is reasonable to expect, by reason of the nature and severity of the individual’s disability, that the individual will not earn sufficient income in a taxation year subsequent to the reimbursement year to allow the individual to deduct in computing the individual’s taxable income, under section 727, the non-capital loss sustained by the individual in the reimbursement year.

Despite section 1010, the Minister shall make such assessments, reassessments or additional assessments of tax, interest and penalties and such determinations or redeterminations as are necessary for any taxation year to give effect to the first paragraph.

2005, c. 23, s. 78; 2011, c. 6, s. 154.

736.4. Despite section 727, an individual may deduct, under that section, in computing the individual’s taxable income for a particular taxation year subsequent to the taxation year 2003, an amount in respect of a non-capital loss sustained by the individual in a taxation year (in this section referred to as the “reimbursement year”) subsequent to the third taxation year that follows the particular taxation year, if

(a)  the individual deducted, in computing the individual’s income for the reimbursement year, an amount paid by or on behalf of the individual as the reimbursement of an amount the individual included in computing the individual’s income for the particular taxation year;

(b)  the reimbursement referred to in subparagraph a results from the determination, in respect of the individual, in the reimbursement year of an amount relating to the particular taxation year that is a covered benefit attributable to a preceding taxation year, within the meaning assigned to that expression by section 766.3.1; and

(c)  the amount deducted does not exceed the portion of the non-capital loss sustained by the individual in the reimbursement year that may reasonably be considered to be attributable to the reimbursement referred to in subparagraph a.

Despite section 1010, the Minister shall make such assessments, reassessments or additional assessments of tax, interest and penalties and such determinations and redeterminations as are necessary for any taxation year in order to give effect to the first paragraph.

2011, c. 6, s. 155; 2015, c. 21, s. 259.

737. Where a taxpayer dies in a taxation year, for the purposes of computing his taxable income for that year and the preceding taxation year, the following rules apply:

(a)  section 729 shall read as follows:

“729. A taxpayer may deduct the taxpayer’s net capital losses for all his taxation years not claimed in computing the taxpayer’s taxable income for any other taxation year.”; and

(b)  subparagraph b of the first paragraph of section 729.1 shall read as follows:

“(b) the amount by which the amount claimed in respect of the taxpayer’s net capital losses under section 729 for the particular taxation year exceeds the aggregate of

i. all amounts in respect of the taxpayer’s net capital losses that, using the formula in subparagraph ii of subparagraph a, would be required to be claimed under section 729 for the particular taxation year to produce the amount determined under subparagraph a for the particular taxation year, and

ii. all amounts each of which is an amount deducted by the taxpayer under Title Vl.5 or VI.5.1 in computing the taxpayer’s taxable income for a taxation year, except to the extent that, where the particular year is the year in which the taxpayer died, the amount claimed under section 729 for the preceding taxation year in respect of the taxpayer’s net capital losses exceeds the amount so determined under subparagraph i.”.

1972, c. 23, s. 555; 1972, c. 26, s. 55; 1973, c. 17, s. 86; 1978, c. 26, s. 129; 1985, c. 25, s. 122; 1987, c. 67, s. 147; 1990, c. 59, s. 281; 1993, c. 16, s. 276; 1993, c. 19, s. 47.

TITLE VII.0.1 ADJUSTMENT IN RESPECT OF AN ADDITIONAL INVESTMENT EXPENSE

2005, c. 38, s. 95.

737.0.1. An individual, other than a trust that is not a personal trust, shall include in computing the individual’s taxable income for a taxation year an amount equal to the amount by which the amount of the individual’s additional investment expense for the year exceeds the portion of the individual’s investment income for the year in excess of the individual’s investment expense for the year.

If the individual benefits for the year from the deduction provided for in section 737.16 or 737.18.10 in respect of an employment, the amount determined under the first paragraph must be determined on the assumption that the rules set out in the second paragraph of section 313.10 apply in respect of the particular amounts otherwise included in the investment expense or investment income of the individual for the year and, with the necessary modifications, in respect of the particular amounts taken into account in computing the amounts otherwise included in the additional investment expense of the individual for the year.

In this section, “additional investment expense”, “investment expense” and “investment income” have the meaning assigned by section 336.5.

(b)  for the purpose of computing the deduction under section 725.3, the amount that is the benefit the individual is deemed to receive in the year under section 49, as a consequence of the application of section 49.2, in respect of a share acquired by the individual after 22 May 1985 and that the individual has included in computing income for the year, shall not include the portion of such an amount that is included in the part of the individual’s income for the year that may reasonably be considered to be earned in the part of the individual’s reference period, established under section 69 of the Act respecting international financial centres, in relation to an employment that is included in the year;

(c)  for the purpose of computing the deduction under section 725.4, the individual shall subtract from the amount included by the individual under paragraph b of section 218 in computing income for the year in respect of a share the individual has received after 22 May 1985, the product obtained by multiplying the portion of such an amount that is included in the part of the individual’s income for the year that may reasonably be considered to be earned in the part of any of the individual’s specified periods, established under the fourth paragraph of section 65 of the Act respecting international financial centres, in relation to an employment that is included in the year, by the percentage determined under subparagraph 1 of the second paragraph of that section 65 in respect of that period;

(d)  for the purpose of computing the deduction under section 725.5, the individual shall subtract from the amount included by the individual under section 888.1 in computing income for the year, the product obtained by multiplying the portion of such an amount that is included in the part of the individual’s income for the year that may reasonably be considered to be earned in the part of any of the individual’s specified periods, established under the fourth paragraph of section 65 of the Act respecting international financial centres, in relation to an employment that is included in the year, by the percentage determined under subparagraph 1 of the second paragraph of that section 65 in respect of that period;

2004, c. 21, s. 138.

737.18.6.3. If, in a taxation year, an individual is absent from an employment the individual holds with an eligible employer and, were it not for that absence, would be a foreign specialist for the part of the year that is included in the individual’s period of absence, the Minister may, for the purposes of this Title, consider that part of the year to be included in the individual’s exemption period in relation to the employment if the Minister is of the opinion that the individual is temporarily absent from the employment for reasons the Minister considers reasonable.

The individual is deemed to be a foreign specialist for the part of the year in respect of which the Minister has exercised discretion in the individual’s favour in accordance with the first paragraph.

2005, c. 23, s. 80.

737.18.7. For the purposes of the definition of “foreign specialist” in the first paragraph of section 737.18.6, an individual is deemed not to be resident in Canada immediately before taking up employment, as an employee, with an eligible employer if

(a)  the individual holds employment with the eligible employer on 1 January 2001; and

(b)  at a particular time, the individual would be, for the first time since 1 January 2001, a foreign specialist working for the eligible employer if the definition of “foreign specialist” in the first paragraph of section 737.18.6 were read

i.  without reference to paragraph b thereof, and

ii.  with the reference to “from the particular time to the end of the year or the part of the year” in the portion of paragraph c before subparagraph i and in paragraph d replaced by a reference to “throughout the year or the part of the year”.

An individual to whom the fifth paragraph applies is deemed to take up employment, as an employee, with an eligible employer at the particular time referred to in subparagraph b where

(a)  the individual enters into an employment contract with the eligible employer after 31 December 2000; and

(b)  at a particular time, the individual would be, for the first time since the entering into the contract referred to in subparagraph a, a foreign specialist working for the eligible employer if the portion of paragraph c of the definition of “foreign specialist” in the first paragraph of section 737.18.6 before subparagraph i and paragraph d of that definition were read with the reference to “from the particular time to the end of the year or the part of the year” replaced by a reference to “throughout the year or the part of the year”.

In addition, the individual to whom the first or second paragraph applies is also deemed to begin performing the duties of the employment the individual holds with the eligible employer at the particular time referred to in subparagraph b of that paragraph.

The individual to whom the first paragraph refers is the individual who

(a)  has no exemption period that is running on 1 January 2001 in relation to that employment; and

(b)  may deduct, in computing the individual’s taxable income for a taxation year preceding the year 2001, in relation to a preceding employment, an amount under any of the sections mentioned in the third paragraph of section 737.19.2, or could so deduct such an amount if an employer had not failed to apply, in respect of the individual, for a qualification certificate or a certificate referred to in any of the sections mentioned in subparagraph ii of paragraph a of section 737.20.

The individual to whom the second paragraph refers is the individual who may deduct, in computing the individual’s taxable income for the taxation year in which the individual has entered into the individual’s employment contract or for a preceding taxation year, in relation to a preceding employment, an amount under any of the sections mentioned in the third paragraph of section 737.19.2, or could so deduct such an amount if an employer had not failed to apply, in respect of the individual, for a qualification certificate or a certificate referred to in any of the sections mentioned in subparagraph ii of paragraph a of section 737.20.

2004, c. 21, s. 140.

737.18.7.2. For the purposes of this Title, the employment contract that an individual entered into with an eligible employer, in this section referred to as the “original contract”, or a deemed contract within the meaning of subparagraph a of the third paragraph, is deemed to end at the time when the individual ceases to be a foreign specialist.

Where on 1 January 2001 an individual to whom the fourth paragraph applies holds employment with an eligible employer, the employment contract the individual entered into with that employer, in this section referred to as the “original contract”, is deemed to have ended before that date.

In addition, where at a particular time an individual would again become a foreign specialist if this section were read without reference to the first and second paragraphs and the portion of paragraph c of the definition of “foreign specialist” in the first paragraph of section 737.18.6 before subparagraph i and paragraph d of that definition were read with the reference to “from the particular time to the end of the year or the part of the year” replaced by a reference to “throughout the year or the part of the year”, the following rules apply:

(a)  the individual is deemed to enter into, with the eligible employer, a new employment contract, in this section referred to as the “deemed contract”, and that contract is deemed to be entered into before 13 June 2003; and

(b)  the individual is deemed to take up employment, as an employee, with the eligible employer at the particular time and is also deemed to begin at that time to perform the duties of that new employment.

The individual to whom the second paragraph refers is the individual who

(a)  is not resident in Canada immediately before taking up employment, as an employee, with the eligible employer;

(b)  has no exemption period that is running on 1 January 2001 in relation to that employment; and

(c)  may deduct, in computing the individual’s taxable income for a taxation year preceding the year 2001, in relation to that employment, an amount under section 737.18.10, or could so deduct such an amount if the eligible employer had not failed to apply, in respect of the individual, for a certificate referred to in paragraph f of the definition of “foreign specialist” in section 737.18.6, as it read for that preceding taxation year.

Where an individual holds employment with an eligible employer on 10 March 1999 under the original contract, but took up employment, as an employee, with that employer before that date, the following rules apply:

(a)  the third paragraph, where it applies for the first time since the original contract is deemed to have ended under the first or second paragraph, shall be read with the reference to “from the particular time” replaced by a reference to “from 10 March 1999”; and

(b)  if the second paragraph applies to the original contract, subparagraph a of the fourth paragraph shall be read as follows:

“(a) the individual is not resident in Canada immediately before 10 March 1999;”.

The expiry, termination or cancellation of the original contract or any other event having the effect of terminating the original contract also entails the expiry, termination or cancellation, as the case may be, of a deemed contract continuing the original contract, or otherwise terminates such a contract.

The renewal of the original contract also entails the renewal of a deemed contract continuing the original contract, except if the deemed contract is deemed to have ended under the first paragraph.

2004, c. 21, s. 140.

737.18.7.3. For the purposes of this Title, the contract resulting from the renewal, after 12 June 2003, of an employment contract referred to in the definition of “foreign specialist” in the first paragraph of section 737.18.6 and in this section referred to as the “original contract”, is deemed not to be an employment contract separate from the original contract.

The rule set out in the first paragraph applies, with the necessary modifications, to a new employment contract that is entered into after 12 June 2003 with another eligible employer, who is deemed not to be an employer separate from the eligible employer, in this section referred to as the “first employer”, who entered into the original contract, provided that

(a)  the other eligible employer

i.  controls directly or indirectly the first employer,

ii.  is, directly or indirectly, a controlled subsidiary of the first employer, or

iii.  as a result of a transaction referred to in section 518 or 566, continues to carry on the business of the first employer in the course of which the individual who entered into the original contract performed the individual’s duties as a foreign specialist; and

(b)  it may reasonably be considered that, but for the change of employer, the individual who entered into the original contract would have continued to be a foreign specialist working for the first employer until the time when the individual took up employment, as an employee, with the other eligible employer.

The first paragraph does not apply in respect of a contract that is deemed to have ended under the first or second paragraph of section 737.18.7.2.

2004, c. 21, s. 140.

737.18.8. For the purpose of determining, for the purposes of this Title, the income or loss of a corporation for a taxation year, or of a partnership for a fiscal period, from the eligible activities of a recognized business carried on by the corporation or partnership, as the case may be, the income or loss shall be computed as if the activities were the carrying on, by the corporation or partnership, of a separate business.

2000, c. 39, s. 49.

737.18.9. For the purposes of the definition of “eligible employer” in the first paragraph of section 737.18.6 and despite any provision to the contrary, a certificate that has been issued to a corporation or a partnership in respect of a recognized business is deemed to be valid until the time the certificate is revoked and it is deemed, only as of that time, not to have been issued.

2000, c. 39, s. 49; 2005, c. 23, s. 81; 2005, c. 38, s. 98; 2012, c. 8, s. 74.

737.18.9.1. For the purposes of this Title, where, at a particular time in a taxation year or fiscal period, a corporation or partnership, in this section referred to as the “transferee entity”, carries on a business in respect of which Investissement Québec issued a qualification certificate and the business, according to Investissement Québec, is the continuation of a recognized business or part of a recognized business carried on before that time by a corporation or partnership, in this section referred to as the “transferor entity”, the effective date of the qualification certificate issued to the transferee entity, in relation to the recognized business, is deemed to be the same as the effective date of the qualification certificate issued to the transferor entity, in relation to the recognized business or part of the recognized business.

2004, c. 21, s. 141; 2005, c. 23, s. 82.

737.18.9.2. For the purposes of this Title, where, at any time after 11 June 2003, control of a corporation that carries on at that time a recognized business or is a member of a partnership that carries on at that time a recognized business is acquired by a person or group of persons, the following rules apply:

(a)  where the recognized business is carried on by the corporation,

i.  the exemption period of an individual, in relation to an employment the individual holds with the corporation, is deemed to end immediately before that time, and

ii.  the base period applicable to the corporation, in respect of the eligible activities of the recognized business, is deemed to end immediately before that time; and

(b)  where the recognized business is carried on by the partnership, the base period applicable to the partnership, in respect of the eligible activities of the recognized business, is deemed, for the purpose of computing the amount that the corporation may deduct under section 737.18.11 for the taxation year in which the fiscal period of the partnership that includes that time ends and for a subsequent taxation year, to end immediately before that time.

However, the first paragraph does not apply if the acquisition of control

(a)  occurs before 1 July 2004 and Investissement Québec certifies that it results from a transaction that was sufficiently advanced on 11 June 2003 and was binding on the parties on that date;

(b)  is by a corporation carrying on at that time a recognized business, by a person or group of persons that controls such a corporation, or by a group of persons each member of which is such a corporation or a person who, alone or together with other members of the group, controls such a corporation;

(c)  derives from the exercise after 11 June 2003 of one or more rights described in paragraph b of section 20 that were acquired before 12 June 2003; or

(d)  derives from the performance after 11 June 2003 of one or more obligations described in the third paragraph of section 21.3.5 that were contracted before 12 June 2003.

2004, c. 21, s. 141; 2005, c. 23, s. 83; 2006, c. 13, s. 53.

CHAPTER II DEDUCTIONS

737.18.10. Subject to the third paragraph, an individual who, for all or part of a taxation year, is a foreign specialist who holds employment with an eligible employer, may deduct, in computing the individual’s taxable income for the year, an amount not greater than the part of the individual’s income for the year that may reasonably be considered to be earned in the part of the individual’s exemption period in relation to that employment that is included in the year.

For the purposes of the first paragraph, the following rules apply:

(a)  for the purposes of the first paragraph of section 737.18.10, the individual is deemed, for a part of the particular taxation year that includes the later time, to be a foreign specialist who holds that employment with the eligible employer;

(b)  for the purposes of the first paragraph of section 737.18.10 and paragraphs a and b of section 737.18.13 in respect of the amount of the benefit included by the individual in computing the individual’s income for the particular taxation year, the later time is deemed to be an exemption period of the individual in relation to that employment;

(d)  paragraph a of section 737.18.13 is to be read as if “in respect of a security, or the transfer or any other disposition of the rights under the agreement referred to in section 48” were replaced by “either in respect of a security or of the transfer or any other disposition of the rights under the agreement referred to in section 48, or as a consequence of the individual’s death and of the individual’s having, immediately before death, owned a right to acquire a security under such an agreement”.

(a)   the aggregate of all amounts each of which is

i.  the amount obtained by multiplying the corporation’s income for the year from the eligible activities of a recognized business carried on by the corporation, by the proportion that the number of days in the year that are within the base period applicable to the corporation in respect of the eligible activities is of the number of days in the year during which the corporation carries on the eligible activities, or

ii.  the amount obtained by multiplying the corporation’s share of the partnership’s income for the fiscal period from the eligible activities of a recognized business carried on by the partnership, by the proportion that the number of days in the fiscal period that are within the base period applicable to the partnership in respect of the eligible activities is of the number of days in the fiscal period during which the partnership carries on the eligible activities; exceeds

A corporation may deduct an amount under the first paragraph in computing its taxable income for a taxation year only if it encloses, with its fiscal return it is required to file under section 1000 for the year, the prescribed form containing the prescribed information and, in relation to each recognized business carried on by the corporation or the partnership, a copy of the certificate issued to the corporation or partnership in respect of the recognized business.

In the formula in the definition of “prior loss attributable to eligible activities” of a corporation for a particular taxation year or of a partnership for a particular fiscal period, in the first paragraph,

(a)  A is

i.  in relation to a corporation, the aggregate of all amounts each of which is the amount, in respect of the corporation, for a taxation year preceding the particular year, by which the amount determined under subparagraph b of the second paragraph of section 737.18.17.5 exceeds the amount determined under subparagraph a of that second paragraph, and

ii.  in relation to a partnership, the aggregate of all amounts each of which is the amount, in respect of the partnership, for a fiscal period preceding the particular fiscal period, by which the amount determined under subparagraph e of the second paragraph of section 737.18.17.5 exceeds the amount determined under subparagraph d of that second paragraph; and

i.  in relation to a corporation, the aggregate of all amounts each of which is the amount that reduced, because of C in the formula in subparagraph i of subparagraph a of the first paragraph of section 737.18.17.5, the amount that would have been otherwise deductible by the corporation, under that section, for a taxation year preceding the particular year, and

ii.  in relation to a partnership, the aggregate of all amounts each of which is the amount that reduced, because of F in the formula in subparagraph ii of subparagraph a of the first paragraph of section 737.18.17.5, the amount of which a portion would have been otherwise deductible by a corporation that is a member of the partnership, under that section, for a taxation year in which a fiscal period preceding the particular fiscal period of the partnership ends.

For the purpose of applying the definition of “total qualified capital investments” in the first paragraph in respect of a corporation or a partnership in relation to a large investment project that concerns the digital transformation of a business of the corporation or partnership, the expenditures of a capital nature referred to in that definition include only those that are incurred either to acquire digital equipment, software or other components of the technological infrastructure or information system or to adapt the business’s equipment to the computing solution.

For the purposes of the third paragraph, a large investment project concerns the digital transformation of a business if it consists in developing and implementing a computing solution, by integrating or upgrading an information system or a technology infrastructure, resulting in organizational changes in the business and changes to its operations.

Where a corporation has made a computation method election applicable to a particular taxation year, in relation to a large investment project, such an election is deemed, for the purpose of applying this Title to the corporation for the particular year or a subsequent taxation year, to have been made in relation to all its other large investment projects as well as in relation to those of a partnership of which the corporation is a member; for that purpose, a certificate issued for the year in relation to another large investment project of the corporation, or for the partnership’s fiscal period that ends in the year in relation to a large investment project of the partnership, is deemed, for the purpose of applying subparagraph b of the first paragraph of section 737.18.17.5 to that year, to certify that such an election was made by the corporation or the partnership, as the case may be.

In this Title, the tax assistance limit, in relation to a large investment project, is, except for the purposes of section 737.18.17.12, determined in accordance with section 737.18.17.8 where the tax assistance limit is that of a corporation carrying out the project, section 737.18.17.9 where the tax assistance limit is that of a corporation that is a member of a partnership carrying out the project and section 34.1.0.4 of the Act respecting the Régie de l’assurance maladie du Québec where the tax assistance limit is that of such a partnership.

2015, c. 21, s. 260; 2017, c. 1, s. 181; 2019, c. 14, s. 197; 2021, c. 36, s. 74; 2024, c. 11, s. 61.

737.18.17.1.1. In this Title, two large investment projects that are covered by the same qualification certificate are deemed to be a single large investment project (referred to as a “deemed large investment project”), except as regards the determination, in respect of each project, of the total qualified capital investments of the corporation or partnership carrying out the projects, the date of the beginning of the tax-free period and the last day of the tax-free period.

Such a rule applies throughout the particular period that begins on the date of the beginning of the tax-free period in respect of the large investment project that began first (in this Title referred to as the “first large investment project”) and that ends on the last day of the tax-free period in respect of the other large investment project (in this Title referred to as the “second large investment project”).

The definition of  “tax-free period” in the first paragraph of section 737.18.17.1 is, in relation to a deemed large investment project, to be read as follows:

““tax-free period” of a corporation or a partnership, for a taxation year or a fiscal period, in relation to a deemed large investment project, means the part of the taxation year or fiscal period that is both covered by a certificate issued to the corporation or partnership in respect of the large investment project and included in the particular period referred to in the second paragraph of section 737.18.17.1.1 or, where the corporation or partnership acquired all or substantially all of the recognized business in relation to the project and the Minister of Finance authorized the transfer of the carrying out of the project to the corporation or partnership, according to the qualification certificate issued to the corporation or partnership, in relation to the project, in the part of that particular period that begins on the date of acquisition of the recognized business.

2019, c. 14, s. 198.

737.18.17.2. For the purposes of this Title, to determine the income or loss of a corporation for a taxation year, or of a partnership for a fiscal period, from its eligible activities in relation to a large investment project, the income or loss is to be computed as if

(a)  the eligible activities were the carrying on of a separate business; and

(b)  the corporation or partnership were deducting in computing its income for the taxation year or fiscal period and had deducted in computing its income for any preceding taxation year or fiscal period, in relation to the separate business, the maximum amount in respect of any reserve, allowance or other amount.

For the purposes of subparagraph b of the first paragraph, the undepreciated capital cost, on the date described in the third paragraph for the corporation or partnership, in respect of the large investment project, of depreciable property of a prescribed class in relation to the separate business referred to in subparagraph a of the first paragraph, is deemed to include the amount that is the amount by which the total depreciation, within the meaning of paragraph b of section 93, allowed to the corporation or partnership, as the case may be, before that date, in respect of property of that class, exceeds the aggregate of 102 all amounts each of which is an amount that the corporation or partnership, as the case may be, included, under section 94, in respect of property of that class, in computing its income for a taxation year or fiscal period that ended before that date.

The date to which the second paragraph refers is the date of the beginning of the tax-free period in respect of the large investment project or, in the case of a deemed large investment project within the meaning of section 737.18.17.1.1, of the first large investment project, unless the corporation or partnership acquired all or substantially all of the recognized business in relation to the large investment project and the Minister of Finance authorized the transfer of the carrying out of the project to the corporation or partnership, according to the qualification certificate issued to the corporation or partnership, in relation to the project, in which case it is the date of acquisition of the recognized business.

Where a large investment project concerns the development of a digital platform, the income or loss of a corporation or partnership in relation to the project determined in accordance with the first paragraph is only to take into account the income reasonably attributable to the use of the digital platform, which includes the fees and royalties charged by the corporation or partnership for the use of that platform, the part of the subscription fees to that platform that can reasonably be considered to have been paid for its use, except for any part of the fees paid as consideration for services received or property acquired, the amounts paid by a third party to use it as a gateway to the third party’s own website, or any other similar amount.

The income or loss of a corporation or partnership from its eligible activities in relation to a deemed large investment project within the meaning of section 737.18.17.1.1, for a taxation year or fiscal period that ends after the last day of the tax-free period in respect of the first large investment project (in this section referred to as the “particular day”) is deemed to be equal to

(a)  where the taxation year or fiscal period includes the particular day, the amount determined by the formula

A − {A × [B/(B + C)] × D}; or

(b)  in any other case, the amount determined by the formula

A × [C/(B + C)].

In the formulas in the fifth paragraph,

(a)  A is the income or loss of the corporation for the taxation year, or of the partnership for the fiscal period, from its eligible activities in relation to the deemed large investment project, otherwise determined;

(b)  B is the total qualified capital investments of the corporation or partnership, in relation to the first large investment project, on the date of the beginning of the tax-free period in respect of the project;

(c)  C is the total qualified capital investments of the corporation or partnership, in relation to the second large investment project, on the date of the beginning of the tax-free period in respect of the project; and

(d)  D is the proportion that the number of days in the taxation year or fiscal period that follow the particular day is of the number of days in that taxation year or fiscal period.

2015, c. 21, s. 260; 2019, c. 14, s. 199.

737.18.17.3. Where, at any time, a corporation or a partnership (in this section referred to as the “acquirer”) acquired all or substantially all of a recognized business from another corporation or partnership (in this section referred to as the “vendor”), in relation to a large investment project, and the Minister of Finance previously authorized the transfer of the carrying out of the large investment project to the acquirer, according to a qualification certificate issued by that Minister to the acquirer in respect of the project,

(a)  the following rules must, if applicable, be taken into consideration for the purposes of this Title:

i.  where subparagraph a of the first paragraph of section 737.18.17.5 applies to the acquirer or to a corporation that is a member of the acquirer and where the prior loss attributable to eligible activities of the acquirer for a taxation year or fiscal period that ends after that time is to be computed, there shall be added to the amount otherwise represented by A in the formula in the definition of “prior loss attributable to eligible activities” in the first paragraph of section 737.18.17.1, unless it is otherwise included in that amount, the portion that is reasonably attributable to the recognized business of the amount by which the aggregate of the following amounts exceeds the amount represented by C or F in the formula in subparagraph i or ii of subparagraph a of the first paragraph of section 737.18.17.5, in respect of the vendor for that taxation year or fiscal period:

(1)  the amount, in respect of the vendor for the taxation year or fiscal period, by which the amount determined under subparagraph b or e of the second paragraph of section 737.18.17.5 exceeds the amount determined under subparagraph a or d of that second paragraph, and

(2)  the prior loss attributable to eligible activities of the vendor for that taxation year or fiscal period, and

ii.  where subparagraph a of the first paragraph of section 737.18.17.5 applies to the vendor or to a corporation that is a member of the vendor and where the prior loss attributable to eligible activities of the vendor for a taxation year or fiscal period that ends after that time is to be computed, there shall be added to the amount otherwise represented by B in the formula in the definition of “prior loss attributable to eligible activities” in the first paragraph of section 737.18.17.1 the portion of the excess amount determined under subparagraph i, in respect of the acquirer for such a taxation year or fiscal period, or that would be determined under that subparagraph i if it applied to the acquirer;

(b)  the following rules must, if applicable, be taken into consideration when determining, for the purposes of subparagraphs a and b or d and e of the second paragraph of section 737.18.17.5, the amount referred to in those subparagraphs in relation to the large investment project:

i.  where subparagraph a of the first paragraph of section 737.18.17.5 applies to the vendor or to a corporation that is a member of the vendor, the vendor’s taxation year or fiscal period that includes that time is deemed to end immediately before that time, and

ii.  where subparagraph a of the first paragraph of section 737.18.17.5 applies to the acquirer or to a corporation that is a member of the acquirer, the acquirer’s taxation year or fiscal period that includes that time is deemed to begin at that time; and

(c)  the following rules must, if applicable, be taken into consideration for the purposes of subparagraphs b and c of the third paragraph of section 737.18.17.5.1:

i.  where subparagraph b of the first paragraph of section 737.18.17.5 applies to the vendor or to a corporation that is a member of the vendor,

(1)  the vendor’s taxation year or fiscal period that includes the day on which that time occurs is deemed to end at the end of that day, and

(2)  the last day of the vendor’s tax-free period, in respect of the large investment project, is deemed to correspond to the day that includes that time, and

ii.  where subparagraph b of the first paragraph of section 737.18.17.5 applies to the acquirer or to a corporation that is a member of the acquirer, the acquirer’s taxation year or fiscal period that includes the day on which that time occurs is deemed to begin at the beginning of that day.

2015, c. 21, s. 260; 2024, c. 11, s. 62.

737.18.17.4. If, at a particular time, the activities carried on in Québec by a person or a partnership in relation to a business diminish or cease and it may reasonably be considered that, as a result, a corporation or another partnership begins, after the particular time, to carry on similar activities in the course of carrying on a recognized business, in relation to a large investment project, or increases the scope of similar activities carried on in the course of carrying on such a business, those activities or portions of activities, as the case may be, are, subject to section 737.18.17.3, deemed not to be eligible activities of the corporation or of the other partnership carried on in the course of carrying on the recognized business.

2015, c. 21, s. 260.

CHAPTER II DEDUCTION

2015, c. 21, s. 260.

737.18.17.5. A corporation that, in a taxation year, carries on a recognized business in relation to a large investment project or is a member of a partnership that carries on such a recognized business in the partnership’s fiscal period ending in that year may, subject to the third paragraph, deduct in computing its taxable income for the year, if a certificate has been issued for the year or fiscal period in relation to the large investment project, an amount not exceeding the portion of its income for the year that may reasonably be considered to be equal, as the case may be,

(a)  where subparagraph b does not apply, to the lesser of the amount determined in accordance with section 737.18.17.6, in respect of the corporation for the year, and the aggregate of

i.  the amount determined by the formula

(A – B) – C, and

ii.  the aggregate of all amounts each of which is the corporation’s share of the amount determined, in respect of such a partnership of which the corporation is a member, by the formula

(D – E) – F; or

(b)  if the certificate certifies that the corporation or the partnership, as the case may be, has elected to use the alternate computation method provided for in section 737.18.17.5.1, to the lesser of the amount determined in respect of the corporation for the year in accordance with that section and of its adjusted taxable income for that year.

In the formulas in the first paragraph,

(a)  A is the aggregate of all amounts each of which is equal to the amount obtained by multiplying the corporation’s income for the taxation year from its eligible activities, in relation to a large investment project, by the proportion that the number of days in the corporation’s tax-free period for the year, in relation to the large investment project, is of the number of days in the year;

(b)  B is the aggregate of all amounts each of which is equal to the amount obtained by multiplying the corporation’s loss for the taxation year from its eligible activities, in relation to a large investment project, by the proportion that the number of days in the corporation’s tax-free period for the year, in relation to the large investment project, is of the number of days in the year;

(c)  C is the prior loss attributable to eligible activities of the corporation for the year;

(d)  D is the aggregate of all amounts each of which is equal to the amount obtained by multiplying the partnership’s income for the fiscal period from its eligible activities, in relation to a large investment project, by the proportion that the number of days in the partnership’s tax-free period for the fiscal period, in relation to the large investment project, is of the number of days in the fiscal period;

(e)  E is the aggregate of all amounts each of which is equal to the amount obtained by multiplying the partnership’s loss for the fiscal period from its eligible activities, in relation to a large investment project, by the proportion that the number of days in the partnership’s tax-free period for the fiscal period, in relation to the large investment project, is of the number of days in the fiscal period; and

(f)  F is the prior loss attributable to eligible activities of the partnership for the fiscal period.

A corporation may deduct an amount under the first paragraph in computing its taxable income for a taxation year only if it encloses, with the fiscal return it is required to file under section 1000 for the year,

(a)  the prescribed form containing prescribed information; and

(b)  in relation to each large investment project referred to in the first paragraph of the corporation or of a partnership of which the corporation is a member,

i.  the financial statements relating to the eligible activities of the corporation or partnership, in relation to the large investment project, for the taxation year or fiscal period, as the case may be, unless it made a computation method election in relation to the project,

ii.  a copy of the qualification certificate issued to the corporation or partnership in respect of the large investment project,

iii.  a copy of the certificate issued for the corporation’s taxation year or the partnership’s fiscal period, as the case may be, in relation to the large investment project,

iv.  where the large investment project is a project of the partnership, a copy of each agreement referred to in section 737.18.17.10 or 737.18.17.10.1 in respect of the partnership’s fiscal period that ends in the taxation year or in a preceding taxation year, in relation to the project, unless it has already been filed, and

v.  where the corporation or partnership acquired or sold all or substantially all of the recognized business in relation to the large investment project, a copy of the agreement referred to in section 737.18.17.12 in respect of the transfer, unless it has already been filed.

If a particular corporation that carries out one or more large investment projects has not made a computation method election in respect of any of those projects, a partnership of which it is a member is deemed, for the purpose of applying this section and section 737.18.17.1 to a taxation year of the corporation, not to have made a computation method election in respect of any of its large investment projects and, for that purpose, the certificate issued to the partnership for its fiscal period that ends in the year, in relation to a large investment project, is deemed, for the purposes of subparagraph b of the first paragraph, not to certify that the partnership has elected to use the alternate computation method.

For the purposes of subparagraph ii of subparagraph a of the first paragraph, the corporation’s share of an amount, for a fiscal period of a partnership, is equal to the agreed proportion of that amount in respect of the corporation for the partnership’s fiscal period.

2015, c. 21, s. 260; 2024, c. 11, s. 63.

737.18.17.5.1. The amount to which subparagraph b of the first paragraph of section 737.18.17.5 refers, in respect of a corporation for a particular taxation year, is equal to the aggregate of the following amounts that is multiplied, where the corporation has an establishment situated outside Québec, by the reciprocal of the proportion that its business carried on in Québec is of the aggregate of its business carried on in Canada or in Québec and elsewhere, as determined under subsection 2 of section 771:

(a)  100/11.5 of the lesser of the corporation’s maximum tax holiday amount for the particular year in respect of one or more large investment projects of the corporation, or of a partnership of which it is a member, that are referred to in the first paragraph of section 737.18.17.5 and the amount determined in its respect for the year under the fourth paragraph; and

(b)  100/3.2 of the amount by which the corporation’s maximum tax holiday amount for the particular year in respect of one or more large investment projects of the corporation, or of a partnership of which it is a member, that are referred to in the first paragraph of section 737.18.17.5 exceeds the amount determined in its respect for the year under the fourth paragraph.

For the purposes of this section, a corporation’s maximum tax holiday amount for a particular taxation year in respect of one or more large investment projects of the corporation, or of a partnership of which it is a member, is equal to the lesser of

(a)  the tax that would be determined, in respect of the corporation for the particular year, in accordance with subsection 1 of section 771, if its taxable income for the year were computed without reference to section 737.18.17.5, or, where the corporation has an establishment outside Québec, the result obtained by multiplying that tax by the proportion that its business carried on in Québec is of the aggregate of its business carried on in Canada or in Québec and elsewhere, as determined under subsection 2 of section 771; and

(b)  the aggregate of all amounts each of which is, for the particular year, in relation to any of those large investment projects,

i.  in the case of a large investment project of the corporation, the amount determined by the formula

(A × B/C) – D, or

ii.  in the case of a large investment project of a partnership of which the corporation is a member, the amount determined by the formula

[(A × B/C) + E] – D.

In the formulas in the second paragraph,

(a)  A is

i.  where the large investment project is the corporation’s project, the unused portion of the corporation’s tax assistance limit for the particular year, in relation to the project, that is determined under the fifth paragraph, or

ii.  where the large investment project is that of a partnership of which the corporation is a member, the total of

Where the corporation is a primary and manufacturing sectors corporation, within the meaning assigned by the first paragraph of section 771.1, to which paragraph d.4 of subsection 1 of section 771 applies for the preceding taxation year, the sixth paragraph is to be read as if “subparagraph c of the first paragraph of section 771.0.2.4” were replaced by “section 771.0.2.6”.

Where the previous transfer to which the second paragraph refers occurred before the date of the end of the start-up period of the large investment project concerned, the vendor’s tax assistance limit in relation to the project is to be increased by an amount equal to the product obtained by multiplying by 15% the amount that would be its total qualified capital investments on the date of the end of the start-up period or, if it is earlier, on the day that includes the time referred to in the first paragraph, if the definition of “total qualified capital investments” in the first paragraph of section 737.18.17.1 were read as if “from the beginning of the carrying out of the large investment project” were replaced by “from the time the corporation or partnership acquired the recognized business in relation to the large investment project”.

i.  where the vendor is a corporation and the acquirer is a partnership, the vendor’s non-capital loss for a taxation year ending before that time that is deductible in computing the vendor’s adjusted taxable income for its taxation year including that time is deemed, according to the proportion provided for in the second paragraph, to be a non-capital loss of the acquirer (in subparagraph iii of subparagraph b of the first paragraph of section 737.18.17.16 referred to as the “deemed non-capital loss”),

ii.  where the vendor and the acquirer are partnerships, the non-capital loss that, if throughout its existence the vendor were a corporation whose taxation year corresponded to its fiscal period, would be determined in its respect for a taxation year that ends before that time and would be deductible in computing the vendor’s adjusted taxable income for its taxation year that includes that time is deemed, according to the proportion provided for in the second paragraph and subject to the third paragraph, to be a non-capital loss of the acquirer (in subparagraph iii of subparagraph b of the first paragraph of section 737.18.17.16 referred to as the “deemed non-capital loss”), or

iii.  the vendor’s non-capital loss referred to in subparagraph i or ii is deemed to be reduced, for the vendor’s taxation year or fiscal period that includes that time, by the amount determined under subparagraph i or ii, as the case may be, in respect of that loss, for the purpose of computing the vendor’s adjusted taxable income for a taxation year that ends after that time, where the vendor is a corporation, and for the purpose of applying subparagraph ii in relation to a subsequent transfer of another large investment project of the vendor, where the vendor is a partnership; or

(c)  for the purposes of subparagraphs b and c of the second paragraph of section 737.18.17.18,

i.  the vendor’s taxation year or fiscal period that includes the day on which the time occurs is deemed to end at the end of that day,

ii.  the vendor’s last day of the tax-free period, in relation to the large investment project, is deemed to correspond to the day that includes that time,

iii.  the acquirer’s taxation year or fiscal period that includes the day on which the time occurs is deemed to begin at the beginning of that day, and

iv.  the date of the beginning of the acquirer’s tax-free period, in relation to the large investment project, is deemed to correspond to the date of the day that includes that time.

The proportion to which the first paragraph refers is the result obtained by multiplying the proportion that the amount transferred to the acquirer pursuant to the agreement referred to in the first paragraph of section 737.18.17.21 is of the excess amount determined under that first paragraph by the proportion that the amount determined under the second paragraph of section 737.18.17.21, in respect of the large investment project the activities of which are transferred (in this paragraph referred to as the “particular amount”), is of the aggregate of all amounts each of which is either the particular amount or the amount that would be determined under that second paragraph in respect of another large investment project of the vendor if it were transferred to the acquirer at the time referred to in the first paragraph, unless the vendor carries out only one large investment project, in which case the latter proportion is equal to 1.

For the purposes of subparagraph ii of subparagraphs a and b of the first paragraph, the non-capital loss referred to in that subparagraph ii does not include any portion of the loss that—for a taxation year of a corporation, member of the vendor at the time referred to in the first paragraph, that ends in a fiscal period of the vendor that ends before that time—reduced the corporation’s adjusted taxable income.

This section also applies to the transfer of a large investment project, within the meaning of the first paragraph of section 737.18.17.1, in relation to which the vendor has made a computation method election within the meaning of that first paragraph.

2024, c. 11, s. 71.

737.18.17.16. For the purposes of this Title, the following rules apply:

(a)  except where the third paragraph applies, a corporation’s adjusted taxable income for a particular taxation year is equal to the amount that would be its taxable income for that year if it were determined without reference to this Title and subparagraph b of the first paragraph of section 737.18.17.5 and if the following rules applied:

i.  the adjusted income of a partnership of which the corporation is a member at the end of the partnership’s fiscal period that ends in the particular year and that holds a certificate, in relation to a large investment project, for the fiscal period is the partnership’s income for that fiscal period, and

ii.  the corporation’s share of the incomes or losses of a partnership of which the corporation is a member at the end of the partnership’s fiscal period that ends in the particular year but that does not hold such a certificate for that fiscal period is equal to zero,

iii.  the corporation’s income is computed without taking into account

(1)  the amount by which the corporation’s taxable capital gains exceed its allowable capital losses,

(2)  the amount by which the aggregate of the corporation’s incomes that are attributable to a source that is a property exceeds the aggregate of its losses attributable to that source, and

(3)  the portion of the aggregate of its losses referred to in subparagraph 2 that reduced the aggregate of the corporation’s incomes referred to in that subparagraph, and

iv.  the corporation deducts, in computing its income or taxable income for the particular year and for any preceding taxation year, the maximum amount in respect of any reserve, allowance or other amount; and

(b)  a partnership’s adjusted income for a particular fiscal period is equal to the amount that would be its income for that fiscal period if the following rules applied:

i.  the income is computed without taking into account

(1)  the amount by which the partnership’s taxable capital gains exceed its allowable capital losses,

(2)  the amount by which the aggregate of the partnership’s incomes that are attributable to a source that is a property exceeds the aggregate of its losses attributable to that source, and

(3)  the portion of the aggregate of its losses referred to in subparagraph 2 that reduced the aggregate of the partnership’s incomes referred to in that subparagraph,

ii.  the income is computed taking into consideration that the partnership deducts, in computing its income for the particular fiscal period or for any preceding fiscal period, the maximum amount in respect of any reserve, allowance or other amount, and

iii.  where the partnership is the acquirer referred to in section 737.18.17.15 of a large investment project, Title VII applies for the purpose of determining the amount that is deductible as a deemed non-capital loss of the acquirer, within the meaning of subparagraph b of the first paragraph of that section, in computing the partnership’s adjusted income for a fiscal period that ends after the transfer time as if

(1)  the partnership were a corporation whose taxation year corresponds to its fiscal period, and

(2)  the partnership’s adjusted income otherwise determined for any subsequent fiscal period were its adjusted taxable income for that year.

For the purposes of the first paragraph, the undepreciated capital cost of depreciable property of a prescribed class to the corporation or partnership, on the date of the beginning of the tax-free period in respect of a large investment project of the corporation or partnership that occurs first, is deemed, except to the extent that it may reasonably be considered that the second paragraph of section 737.18.17.2 applied previously in respect of that class, to include the amount that is the amount by which the total depreciation, within the meaning of subparagraph b of the first paragraph of section 93, allowed to the corporation or partnership, as the case may be, before that date, in respect of the property of that class, exceeds the aggregate of all amounts each of which is an amount that the corporation or partnership has included, under section 94, in respect of the property of that class, in computing its income for a taxation year or fiscal period that ended before that date.

Where no qualification certificate has been issued to the corporation by the Minister of Finance in relation to a large investment project at the end of the particular taxation year, but the corporation is a member of a qualified partnership that holds a certificate, in relation to such a project, for its fiscal period that ends in that particular year, the corporation’s adjusted taxable income for the particular year is equal to the amount that would be its taxable income for that particular year if the following rules were taken into account:

(a)  the taxable income is determined without reference to this Title and subparagraph b of the first paragraph of section 737.18.17.5 and as if the adjusted income of such a partnership for its fiscal period that ends in the particular year were its income for that fiscal period and as if the only incomes and losses of the corporation for the particular year were its share of the incomes and losses of such a partnership for such a fiscal period; and

(b)  the taxable income, determined after applying subparagraph a, is reduced for the particular year by the aggregate of all amounts each of which would be a non-capital loss of the corporation for a preceding taxation year that would be deductible in computing its taxable income for the particular year if the only incomes or losses of the corporation for the preceding year were its share of the incomes and losses of such a partnership that are taken into account in computing its income for its fiscal period that ends in that preceding year and if the corporation had deducted, in computing its taxable income for another taxation year preceding the particular year, computed in accordance with this paragraph, the maximum amount deductible in respect of that loss.

For the purpose of applying paragraph f of section 600 in computing the adjusted taxable income of a corporation that is a member of a partnership, the aggregate of all of the partnership’s incomes each of which is from a source that is a business, for a fiscal period of the partnership, must, if applicable, be reduced by the deemed non-capital losses referred to in subparagraph iii of subparagraph b of the first paragraph that, for that fiscal period, were deducted from the partnership’s adjusted income.

For the purposes of this section, the following rules must be taken into consideration:

(a)  a large investment project includes a large investment project in respect of which a computation method election within the meaning of Title VII.2.3.1 has been made; and

(b)  the share of a member of a partnership of an amount for a fiscal period is equal to the agreed proportion, in respect of the member for that fiscal period, of that amount.

CHAPTER II DEDUCTION

2024, c. 11, s. 71.

737.18.17.17. A qualified corporation that, in a particular taxation year, carries on activities arising from the carrying out of a large investment project or is a member of a qualified partnership that carries on such activities in its fiscal period ending in that year may, subject to the third paragraph, deduct in computing its taxable income for the particular year, if a certificate has been issued for the particular year or the fiscal period in relation to the large investment project, an amount equal to the lesser of the amount by which its adjusted taxable income for the particular year exceeds the amount it deducts in computing its taxable income under subparagraph b of the first paragraph of section 737.18.17.5 and the aggregate of the following amounts that is multiplied, where the corporation has an establishment situated outside Québec, by the reciprocal of the proportion that its business carried on in Québec is of the aggregate of its business carried on in Canada or in Québec and elsewhere, as determined under subsection 2 of section 771:

(a)  100/11.5 of the lesser of the amount determined in accordance with the first paragraph of section 737.18.17.18 in respect of the corporation for the particular year, in relation to one or more large investment projects of the corporation or of such a qualified partnership of which it is a member, and the amount determined in its respect for the particular year under the second paragraph; and

The amount to which subparagraphs a and b of the first paragraph refer for a particular taxation year is equal to

(a)  the amount by which the tax that would be determined, in respect of the corporation for the particular year, in accordance with subsection 1 of section 771, if its taxable income for the year were computed without reference to this section, exceeds 3.2% of the amount that would be determined in respect of the corporation for the particular year under section 771.2.1.2 if, for the purposes of paragraph b of that section, its taxable income for the year were computed without reference to this section; or

(b)  where the corporation has an establishment situated outside Québec for the particular year, the product obtained by multiplying the excess amount determined under subparagraph a by the proportion that its business carried on in Québec is of the aggregate of its business carried on in Canada or in Québec and elsewhere, as determined under subsection 2 of section 771 for that year.

A corporation may deduct an amount under the first paragraph in computing its taxable income for a taxation year only if it encloses, with the fiscal return it is required to file for the year under section 1000,

v.  a copy of the independent auditor’s report that the corporation or partnership enclosed with the application for the first certificate relating to the large investment project.

2024, c. 11, s. 71.

737.18.17.18. The amount to which subparagraphs a and b of the first paragraph of section 737.18.17.17 refer in respect of a qualified corporation for a particular taxation year, in relation to one or more large investment projects of the corporation or of a qualified partnership of which it is a member, is equal to the lesser of

(a)  the tax that would be determined, in respect of the corporation for the particular year, in accordance with subsection 1 of section 771, if its taxable income for the particular year were computed without reference to section 737.18.17.17 or, where the corporation has an establishment outside Québec, the result obtained by multiplying that tax by the proportion that its business carried on in Québec is of the aggregate of its business carried on in Canada or in Québec and elsewhere, as determined under subsection 2 of section 771; and

(b)  the aggregate of all amounts each of which is, for the particular year, in relation to any of those large investment projects,

E – D.

In the formulas in subparagraph b of the second paragraph,

(e)  E is the aggregate of all amounts each of which is either the amount that was allocated to the corporation for the particular year, or for a preceding taxation year, pursuant to the agreement referred to in section 737.18.17.20, in relation to the large investment project, in respect of the partnership’s fiscal period that ends in that year, or zero if, in respect of that fiscal period, no such agreement has been entered into in relation to the project.

In the formulas in subparagraph d of the second paragraph,

(a)  F is 1, unless the corporation has an establishment situated outside Québec for the preceding taxation year, in which case it is the proportion that its business carried on in Québec is of the aggregate of its business carried on in Canada or in Québec and elsewhere, as determined under subsection 2 of section 771 for the preceding year;

(b)  G is the aggregate of

i.  3.2% of the amount by which the amount that would be determined in respect of the corporation for the preceding taxation year under section 771.2.1.2 if, for the purposes of paragraph b of that section, its taxable income for the preceding year were computed without reference to section 737.18.17.17 exceeds the amount that is determined in its respect for that year under section 771.2.1.2, and

The share of a corporation that is a member of the partnership of the amount agreed on pursuant to an agreement referred to in the first paragraph, in respect of a fiscal period, is the agreed proportion of that amount in respect of the corporation for the partnership’s fiscal period.

Where the amount agreed on, in respect of a particular fiscal period of a partnership, in relation to a large investment project, pursuant to an agreement referred to in the first paragraph, is greater than the amount referred to in the first paragraph, the agreed amount is, for the purposes of this Title and section 34.1.0.5 of the Act respecting the Régie de l’assurance maladie du Québec, deemed to be equal to the amount referred to in the first paragraph.

2024, c. 11, s. 71.

737.18.17.21. Where, at any time in a particular taxation year or fiscal period, a corporation or a partnership (in this section referred to as the “acquirer”) acquired all or substantially all of the activities arising from the carrying out of a large investment project from another corporation or partnership (in this section referred to as the “vendor”) and the Minister of Finance previously authorized the transfer of those activities to the acquirer, according to a qualification certificate issued by that Minister to the acquirer in respect of the project, the vendor and the acquirer shall enter into an agreement under which is transferred to the acquirer an amount not greater than the amount by which the amount determined under the second paragraph exceeds,

(a)  where the vendor is a corporation, the total of

i.  the aggregate of all amounts each of which is, for a preceding taxation year, in relation to the large investment project, equal to the amount determined by the formula

A × B × C, and

ii.  the aggregate of all amounts each of which is, for a preceding taxation year, in relation to the large investment project, equal to the amount determined by the formula

D × E; or

(b)  where the vendor is a partnership, the total of

i.  the aggregate of all amounts each of which is the amount agreed on, in respect of a preceding fiscal period of the vendor, in relation to the large investment project, pursuant to an agreement referred to in section 737.18.17.20 in respect of that fiscal period, and

ii.  the aggregate of all amounts each of which is, for a preceding fiscal period of the vendor, in relation to the large investment project, the amount determined by the formula

D × E.

The amount to which the first paragraph refers is equal either to the amount obtained by multiplying by the rate provided for in section 737.18.17.19 in respect of the large investment project the vendor’s cumulative total eligible expenses in relation to the project at the end of the particular taxation year or of the particular fiscal period, or, where the vendor acquired all or substantially all of the activities arising from the carrying out of the project following a previous transfer, subject to the fifth paragraph, to the amount that was transferred to the vendor pursuant to the agreement referred to in this section in respect of the acquisition.

In the formulas in the first paragraph,

(a)  A is 1, unless the vendor has an establishment situated outside Québec for the preceding year, in which case it is the proportion that the vendor’s business carried on in Québec is of the aggregate of its business carried on in Canada or in Québec and elsewhere, as determined under subsection 2 of section 771 for that preceding year;

(b)  B is the aggregate of

i.  the product obtained by multiplying by 3.2% the amount by which the amount that would be determined in respect of the vendor for the preceding year under section 771.2.1.2 if, for the purposes of paragraph b of section 771.2.1.2, its taxable income for the preceding year were computed without reference to section 737.18.17.17, exceeds the amount determined in its respect for that year under section 771.2.1.2, and

ii.  the product obtained by multiplying by 11.5% the amount by which the amount deducted by the vendor in computing its taxable income for the preceding year under section 737.18.17.17 exceeds the excess amount determined under subparagraph i;

(c)  C is the proportion that the vendor’s maximum annual tax exemption amount for the preceding year, in relation to the large investment project, is of the aggregate of all amounts each of which is the vendor’s maximum annual tax exemption amount for the preceding year, in relation to a large investment project of the vendor, or of a partnership of which it is a member, that is referred to in the first paragraph of section 737.18.17.17 for that year;

(d)  D is the aggregate of all amounts that are not payable by the vendor for the preceding taxation year or fiscal period under subparagraph d.2 of the sixth paragraph of section 34 of the Act respecting the Régie de l’assurance maladie du Québec (chapter R-5); and

(e)  E is the proportion that the vendor’s maximum annual contribution exemption amount for the preceding taxation year or fiscal period, in relation to the large investment project, is of the aggregate of all amounts each of which is the vendor’s maximum annual contribution exemption amount for the preceding year or fiscal period, in relation to a large investment project of the vendor that is referred to in subparagraph d.2 of the sixth paragraph of section 34 of the Act respecting the Régie de l’assurance maladie du Québec for that year or fiscal period.

Where the amount that was transferred to an acquirer, in relation to a large investment project, pursuant to an agreement referred to in the first paragraph is greater than the excess amount referred to in that paragraph, the amount transferred to the acquirer is, for the purposes of this Title and sections 34.1.0.5 and 34.1.0.6 of the Act respecting the Régie de l’assurance maladie du Québec, deemed to be equal to the excess amount.

Where the previous transfer to which the second paragraph refers occurred before the end of the investment period in respect of a large investment project, the amount that was transferred to the vendor pursuant to the agreement referred to in this section in respect of the acquisition must be increased by an amount equal to the product obtained by multiplying by the rate provided for in section 737.18.17.19, in respect of the project, the amount that would be the vendor’s total eligible expenses on the last day of the investment period or, if it is earlier, on the day that includes the time referred to in the first paragraph, if the definition of “total eligible expenses” in the first paragraph of section 737.18.17.14 were read as if “in the investment period” were replaced by “in the part of the investment period that follows the time of the transfer”.

i.  where the individual began to stay or became resident in Canada after 19 December 2002 by reason of an employment contract entered into after that date, the aggregate of all periods each of which is a preceding period within the meaning of section 737.19.2 that is established in respect of the individual, and

ii.  in any other case, the aggregate of all preceding periods each of which is

(1)  all or part of a preceding period, established in respect of the individual under this definition, to which an amount that the individual may deduct in computing the individual’s taxable income for a taxation year, under section 737.21, in relation to a preceding employment, may reasonably be attributed, or

(2)  a preceding period within the meaning of section 737.19.2 that is established in respect of the individual since the last time the individual became resident in Canada, other than a period described in subparagraph 1;

(c)  where the individual entered into the individual’s employment contract with the eligible employer after 30 March 2004, the last day of the five-year period that begins,

i.  unless subparagraph ii applies, on the day on which the individual first begins to perform the duties of an employment for which the individual may deduct an amount in computing the individual’s taxable income for a taxation year under any of the sections mentioned in the third paragraph of section 737.19.2, or could so deduct such an amount if an employer had not failed to apply, in respect of the individual, for a qualification certificate or a certificate referred to in any of the sections mentioned in subparagraph ii of paragraph a of section 737.20, or

ii.  if the individual began to perform the duties of the employment referred to in subparagraph i under a contract of employment entered into with a particular corporation or partnership operating an international financial centre established by the individual and if the individual was resident in Canada immediately before the contract of employment was entered into and immediately before the individual took up that employment, on the day, determined without reference to paragraph a of section 8, on which the individual becomes resident in Canada to work on the establishment of that centre;

“specified period” of an individual in relation to an employment held by the individual with an eligible employer means

(a)  where the individual entered into the individual’s employment contract with the eligible employer after 30 March 2004, any part of the individual’s research activity period in relation to that employment that is included in any of the five years of the period described in paragraph c of the definition of “research activity period”; and

(b)  in any other case, the individual’s research activity period in relation to that employment;

“wages” means the income computed under Chapters I and II of Title II of Book III.

Where an individual is not a foreign researcher for any part of the taxation year that includes the particular day on which the individual begins to perform the duties of an employment the individual holds with an eligible employer because the certificate referred to in the definition of “foreign researcher” in the first paragraph was not obtained in respect of the individual, the individual’s research activity period in relation to that employment begins only on the first day of the first taxation year following the particular day for all or part of which the individual is a foreign researcher.

For the purposes of the definition of “eligible income” in the first paragraph, any benefit that an individual is deemed to receive, in a particular taxation year, in connection with an employment the individual holds with an eligible employer, because of the application of any of sections 49 and 50 to 52.1, is considered to be included in the amounts that are paid to the individual as wages in the year by that employer.

737.19.1. In determining, for the purposes of this Title, whether work undertaken by or on behalf of a partnership constitutes scientific research and experimental development, the references in subsection 3 of section 222 to “taxpayer” shall be read as references to “partnership”.

2000, c. 5, s. 161.

737.19.2. For the purpose of establishing the research activity period of an individual in relation to an employment, a period preceding the period to which subparagraph i of paragraph b of the definition of “research activity period” in the first paragraph of section 737.19 and subparagraph 2 of subparagraph ii of that paragraph b refer means all or part of a particular period referred to in the second paragraph to which an amount referred to in the third paragraph may reasonably be attributed.

The particular period to which the first paragraph refers is a period that precedes the research activity period and is established in respect of the individual under any of sections 737.18.6, 737.19, 737.22.0.0.1, 737.22.0.0.5, 737.22.0.1, 737.22.0.4.1 and 737.22.0.5, or section 69 of the Act respecting international financial centres (chapter C-8.3), or regulations made under the first paragraph of section 737.16, as they read for a taxation year beginning on or before 20 December 1999.

The amount to which the first paragraph refers is an amount that the individual may deduct in computing the individual’s taxable income for a taxation year, in relation to a preceding employment, under any of sections 737.16, 737.18.10, 737.21, 737.22.0.0.3, 737.22.0.0.7, 737.22.0.3, 737.22.0.4.7 and 737.22.0.7.

2004, c. 21, s. 157; 2013, c. 10, s. 45; 2022, c. 23, s. 55.

737.19.3. If, in a taxation year, an individual is absent from an employment the individual holds with an eligible employer and, were it not for that absence, would be a foreign researcher for the part of the year that is included in the individual’s period of absence, the Minister may, for the purposes of this Title, consider the remuneration paid by the eligible employer to the individual for that part of the year to be included in the individual’s eligible income for the year in relation to the employment, that the eligible employer certifies in prescribed manner, if the Minister is of the opinion that the individual is temporarily absent from the employment for reasons the Minister considers reasonable.

The individual is deemed to be a foreign researcher for the part of the year in respect of which the Minister has exercised discretion in the individual’s favour in accordance with the first paragraph.

2005, c. 23, s. 85.

737.19.4. If, in a taxation year, it is impossible for an individual to carry on, exclusively or almost exclusively, scientific research and experimental development in connection with the employment the individual holds with an eligible employer, otherwise than because of the individual being absent from the individual’s employment, and if, were it not for that impossibility, the individual would be a foreign researcher for the part of the year that is included in the period during which the impossibility subsists, the Minister may, for the purposes of this Title, consider that the individual is a foreign researcher for that part of the year if the Minister is of the opinion that the impossibility is directly attributable to the measures taken to mitigate the effects of the COVID-19 pandemic.

2021, c. 36, s. 79.

737.20. For the application of the definition of “foreign researcher” in the first paragraph of section 737.19 to an individual who is resident in Canada immediately before entering into an employment contract with an eligible employer and immediately before taking up employment, as an employee, with that employer, the following rules apply:

(a)  the individual is deemed not to be resident in Canada immediately before taking up employment, as an employee, with the eligible employer if

i.  the individual may deduct an amount in computing the individual’s taxable income for the taxation year in which the individual so took up employment or for a preceding taxation year, in relation to a preceding employment, under any of the sections mentioned in the third paragraph of section 737.19.2, or

ii.  the individual would meet the condition set out in subparagraph i if an employer had not failed to apply, in respect of the individual, for a qualification certificate or a certificate referred to in any of sections 737.18.6, 737.19, 737.22.0.0.1, 737.22.0.0.5, 737.22.0.1, 737.22.0.4.1 and 737.22.0.5, section 3.5 of Schedule E to the Act respecting the sectoral parameters of certain fiscal measures (chapter P-5.1), section 19 of the Act respecting international financial centres (chapter C-8.3), as it read before being repealed, or section 737.15, as it read before being repealed; and

(b)  a certificate referred to in paragraph d of the definition of “foreign researcher” in the first paragraph of section 737.19 that has been issued in respect of the individual, in relation to a preceding employment contract entered into with any eligible employer, is deemed to be issued to the eligible employer, in relation to the employment contract.

1988, c. 4, s. 58; 1997, c. 3, s. 71; 1997, c. 31, s. 76; 2000, c. 39, s. 51; 2002, c. 40, s. 62; 2004, c. 21, s. 158; 2012, c. 1, s. 61; 2012, c. 8, s. 83; 2013, c. 10, s. 46; 2022, c. 23, s. 56.

737.20.1. For the purposes of this Title, an individual to whom the fourth paragraph applies is deemed to take up employment, as an employee, with an eligible employer at the particular time referred to in subparagraph b where

(a)  the individual holds employment with the eligible employer on 1 January 2001; and

(b)  at a particular time, the individual would be, for the first time since 1 January 2001, a foreign researcher working for the eligible employer if the definition of “foreign researcher” in the first paragraph of section 737.19 were read

i.  without reference to paragraph b thereof, and

ii.  with the reference to “from the particular time to the end of the year or the part of the year” in the portion of paragraph c before subparagraph i replaced by a reference to “throughout the year or the part of the year”.

An individual to whom the fifth paragraph applies is deemed to take up employment, as an employee, with an eligible employer at the particular time referred to in subparagraph b where

(a)  the individual enters into an employment contract with the eligible employer after 31 December 2000; and

(b)  at a particular time, the individual would be, for the first time since the entering into the contract referred to in subparagraph a, a foreign researcher working for the eligible employer if the portion of paragraph c of the definition of “foreign researcher” in the first paragraph of section 737.19 before subparagraph i were read with the reference to “from the particular time to the end of the year or the part of the year” replaced by a reference to “throughout the year or the part of the year”.

In addition, the individual to whom the first or second paragraph applies is also deemed to begin performing the duties of the employment the individual holds with the eligible employer at the particular time referred to in subparagraph b of that paragraph.

The individual to whom the first paragraph refers is the individual who

(a)  has no research activity period that is running on 1 January 2001 in relation to that employment; and

(b)  may deduct, in computing the individual’s taxable income for a taxation year preceding the year 2001, in relation to a preceding employment, an amount under any of the sections mentioned in the third paragraph of section 737.19.2, or could so deduct such an amount if an employer had not failed to apply, in respect of the individual, for a qualification certificate or a certificate referred to in any of the sections mentioned in subparagraph ii of paragraph a of section 737.20.

The individual to whom the second paragraph refers is the individual who may deduct, in computing the individual’s taxable income for the taxation year in which the individual has entered into the individual’s employment contract or for a preceding taxation year, in relation to a preceding employment, an amount under any of the sections mentioned in the third paragraph of section 737.19.2, or could so deduct such an amount if an employer had not failed to apply, in respect of the individual, for a qualification certificate or a certificate referred to in any of the sections mentioned in subparagraph ii of paragraph a of section 737.20.

2004, c. 21, s. 159.

737.20.2. For the purposes of this Title, the employment contract that an individual entered into with an eligible employer, in this section referred to as the “original contract”, or a deemed contract, is deemed to end at the time when the individual ceases to be a foreign researcher.

Where on 1 January 2001 an individual to whom the fourth paragraph applies holds employment with an eligible employer, the employment contract the individual entered into with that employer, in this section referred to as the “original contract”, is deemed to have ended before that date.

In addition, where at a particular time an individual would again become a foreign researcher if this section were read without reference to the first and second paragraphs and the portion of paragraph c of the definition of “foreign researcher” in the first paragraph of section 737.19 before subparagraph i were read with the reference to “from the particular time to the end of the year or the part of the year” replaced by a reference to “throughout the year or the part of the year”, the following rules apply:

(a)  the individual is deemed to enter into, with the eligible employer, a new employment contract, in this section referred to as the “deemed contract”, and that contract is deemed to be entered into at the particular time; and

(b)  the individual is deemed to take up employment, as an employee, with the eligible employer at the particular time and is also deemed to begin at that time to perform the duties of that new employment.

The individual to whom the second paragraph refers is the individual who

(a)  is not resident in Canada immediately before entering into the original contract or immediately before taking up employment, as an employee, with the eligible employer;

(b)  has no research activity period that is running on 1 January 2001 in relation to that employment; and

(c)  may deduct, in computing the individual’s taxable income for a taxation year preceding the year 2001, in relation to that employment, an amount under section 737.21, or could so deduct such an amount if the eligible employer had not failed to apply, in respect of the individual, for a certificate referred to in the definition of “foreign researcher” in section 737.19, as it read for that preceding taxation year.

The expiry, termination or cancellation of the original contract or any other event having the effect of terminating the original contract also entails the expiry, termination or cancellation, as the case may be, of a deemed contract continuing the original contract, or otherwise terminates such a contract.

The renewal of the original contract also entails the renewal of a deemed contract continuing the original contract, except if the deemed contract is deemed to have ended under the first paragraph.

2004, c. 21, s. 159; 2005, c. 38, s. 107.

737.20.3. For the purposes of this Title, the contract resulting from the renewal, after 12 June 2003, of an employment contract referred to in the definition of “foreign researcher” in the first paragraph of section 737.19 is deemed not to be an employment contract separate from the employment contract referred to in that definition.

The first paragraph does not apply in respect of a contract that is deemed to have ended under the first or second paragraph of section 737.20.2.

2004, c. 21, s. 159.

CHAPTER II DEDUCTION

1988, c. 4, s. 58.

737.21. An individual who, at any time, holds employment as a foreign researcher with an eligible employer may deduct, in computing the individual’s taxable income for a taxation year, an amount not greater than the aggregate of all amounts each of which is determined, in respect of a specified period of the individual in relation to that employment, by the formula

A × (B − C).

i.1.  if the individual entered into the individual’s employment contract with the eligible employer after 30 March 2004,

(1)  100%, if that specified period of the individual is included in the first or second year of the period described in paragraph c of the definition of “research activity period” in the first paragraph of section 737.19,

(2)  75%, if that specified period of the individual is included in the third year of the period described in that paragraph c,

(3)  50%, if that specified period of the individual is included in the fourth year of the period described in that paragraph c, or

(4)  25%, if that specified period of the individual is included in the fifth year of the period described in that paragraph c, and

ii.  in any other case, 100%;

(b)  B is the portion of the individual’s eligible income for the year, in relation to that employment, that is certified by the eligible employer in prescribed manner and that may reasonably be attributed to that specified period of the individual; and

(c)  C is the aggregate of all amounts that the individual may deduct in computing the individual’s income for the year under Chapter III of Title II of Book III and that may reasonably be attributed to the individual’s employment as a foreign researcher during that specified period of the individual.

737.22. For the purpose of computing the taxable income of an individual referred to in section 737.21 for a taxation year, the following rules apply:

(a)  where the individual has included in computing income for the year an amount that is the benefit the individual is deemed to receive in the year under any of sections 49 and 50 to 52.1, either in respect of a security or of the transfer or any other disposition of the rights under the agreement referred to in section 48, or as a consequence of the individual’s death and of the individual’s having, immediately before death, owned a right to acquire a security under such an agreement, and the amount of the benefit is included in the individual’s eligible income for the year, in relation to an employment, the amount of the benefit is, for the purpose of computing the deduction under section 725.2, deemed to be nil;

(b)  where the individual has included in computing income for the year an amount that is the benefit the individual is deemed to receive under section 49 as a consequence of the application of section 49.2 in respect of a share acquired by the individual after 22 May 1985 and the amount of the benefit is included in the individual’s eligible income for the year, in relation to an employment, the amount of the benefit is, for the purpose of computing the deduction under section 725.3, deemed to be nil;

(c)  where the individual has included in computing income for the year an amount referred to in paragraph a or e of section 725 and the amount is included in the portion of the individual’s eligible income for the year, in relation to an employment, that may reasonably be attributed to any of the individual’s specified periods, in relation to that employment, the amount is, for the purpose of computing the deduction under that paragraph, deemed to be equal to the product obtained by multiplying that amount by the amount by which 100% exceeds the percentage determined under subparagraph a of the second paragraph of section 737.21 in respect of that period; and

(d)  where the individual has included in computing income for the year an amount referred to in subparagraph a of the second paragraph of section 725.1.2 and the amount is included in the portion of the individual’s eligible income for the year, in relation to an employment, that may reasonably be attributed to any of the individual’s specified periods, in relation to that employment, the amount is, for the purpose of computing the deduction under the first paragraph of that section, deemed to be equal to the product obtained by multiplying that amount by the amount by which 100% exceeds the percentage determined under subparagraph a of the second paragraph of section 737.21 in respect of that period;

(e)  (paragraph repealed).

i.  without reference to paragraph b thereof, and

ii.  as if “from the particular time to the end of the year or the part of the year” in the portion of paragraph c before subparagraph i and in paragraph d was replaced by “throughout the year or the part of the year”.

In addition, the individual to whom the first or second paragraph applies is also deemed to begin performing the duties of the employment the individual holds with the eligible employer at the particular time referred to in subparagraph b of that paragraph.

The individual to whom the first paragraph refers is the individual who

737.22.0.0.2.2. For the purposes of this Title, the employment contract that an individual entered into with an eligible employer, in this section referred to as the “original contract”, or a deemed contract, is deemed to end at the time when the individual ceases to be a foreign researcher on a postdoctoral internship.

Where on 1 January 2001 an individual to whom the fourth paragraph applies holds employment with an eligible employer, the employment contract the individual entered into with that employer, in this section referred to as the “original contract”, is deemed to have ended before that date.

In addition, where at a particular time an individual would again become a foreign researcher on a postdoctoral internship if this section were read without reference to the first and second paragraphs and the portion of paragraph c of the definition of “foreign researcher on a postdoctoral internship” in the first paragraph of section 737.22.0.0.1 before subparagraph i and paragraph d of that definition were read as if “from the particular time to the end of the year or the part of the year” was replaced by “throughout the year or the part of the year”, the following rules apply:

The expiry, termination or cancellation of the original contract or any other event having the effect of terminating the original contract also entails the expiry, termination or cancellation, as the case may be, of a deemed contract continuing the original contract, or otherwise terminates such a contract.

The renewal of the original contract also entails the renewal of a deemed contract continuing the original contract, except if the deemed contract is deemed to have ended under the first paragraph.

(b)  B is the portion of the individual’s eligible income for the year, in relation to that employment, that is certified by the eligible employer in prescribed manner and that may reasonably be attributed to that specified period of the individual; and

(c)  C is the aggregate of all amounts that the individual may deduct in computing the individual’s income for the year under Chapter III of Title II of Book III and that may reasonably be attributed to the individual’s employment as a foreign researcher on a postdoctoral internship during that specified period of the individual.

737.22.0.0.4. For the purpose of computing the taxable income of an individual referred to in section 737.22.0.0.3 for a taxation year, the following rules apply:

(a)  where the individual has included in computing income for the year an amount that is the benefit the individual is deemed to receive in the year under any of sections 49 and 50 to 52.1, either in respect of a security or of the transfer or any other disposition of the rights under the agreement referred to in section 48, or as a consequence of the individual’s death and of the individual’s having, immediately before death, owned a right to acquire a security under such an agreement, and the amount of the benefit is included in the individual’s eligible income for the year, in relation to an employment, the amount of the benefit is, for the purpose of computing the deduction under section 725.2, deemed to be nil;

(b)  where the individual has included in computing income for the year an amount that is the benefit the individual is deemed to receive under section 49 as a consequence of the application of section 49.2 in respect of a share acquired by the individual after 22 May 1985 and the amount of the benefit is included in the individual’s eligible income for the year, in relation to an employment, the amount of the benefit is, for the purpose of computing the deduction under section 725.3, deemed to be nil;

(c)  where the individual has included in computing income for the year an amount referred to in paragraph a or e of section 725 and the amount is included in the portion of the individual’s eligible income for the year, in relation to an employment, that may reasonably be attributed to any of the individual’s specified periods, in relation to that employment, the amount is, for the purpose of computing the deduction under that paragraph, deemed to be equal to the product obtained by multiplying that amount by the amount by which 100% exceeds the percentage determined under subparagraph a of the second paragraph of section 737.22.0.0.3 in respect of that period; and

(d)  where the individual has included in computing income for the year an amount referred to in subparagraph a of the second paragraph of section 725.1.2 and the amount is included in the portion of the individual’s eligible income for the year, in relation to an employment, that may reasonably be attributed to any of the individual’s specified periods, in relation to that employment, the amount is, for the purpose of computing the deduction under the first paragraph of that section, deemed to be equal to the product obtained by multiplying that amount by the amount by which 100% exceeds the percentage determined under subparagraph a of the second paragraph of section 737.22.0.0.3 in respect of that period;

TITLE VII.3.0.2 DEDUCTION IN RESPECT OF FOREIGN EXPERTS

CHAPTER I INTERPRETATION AND GENERAL

2000, c. 39, s. 53; 2005, c. 38, s. 115.

737.22.0.0.5. In this Title,

“eligible activity period” of an individual who is a foreign expert for all or part of a taxation year, in relation to an employment the individual holds with an eligible employer, means the period that, subject to the second paragraph, begins on the day on which the individual begins to perform the duties of that employment and that ends on the earlier of

(a)  the day preceding the day on which the individual ceases to be a foreign expert;

(b)  the day on which that period totals five years, with reference to

i.  where the individual began to stay or became resident in Canada after 19 December 2002 by reason of an employment contract entered into after that date, the aggregate of all periods each of which is a preceding period within the meaning of section 737.22.0.0.5.1 that is established in respect of the individual, and

ii.  in any other case, the aggregate of all preceding periods each of which is

(1)  all or part of a preceding period, established in respect of the individual under this definition, to which an amount that the individual may deduct in computing the individual’s taxable income for a taxation year, under section 737.22.0.0.7, in relation to a preceding employment, may reasonably be attributed, or

(2)  a preceding period within the meaning of section 737.22.0.0.5.1 that is established in respect of the individual since the last time the individual became resident in Canada, other than a period described in subparagraph 1; and

(c)  if the individual entered into the individual’s employment contract with the eligible employer after 30 March 2004, the last day of the five-year period that begins,

i.  unless subparagraph ii applies, on the day on which the individual first begins to perform the duties of an employment for which the individual may deduct an amount in computing the individual’s taxable income for a taxation year under any of the sections mentioned in the third paragraph of section 737.19.2, or could so deduct such an amount if an employer had not failed to apply, in respect of the individual, for a qualification certificate or a certificate referred to in any of the sections mentioned in subparagraph ii of paragraph a of section 737.20, or

ii.  if the individual began to perform the duties of the employment referred to in subparagraph i under a contract of employment entered into with a particular corporation or partnership operating an international financial centre established by the individual and if the individual was resident in Canada immediately before the contract of employment was entered into and immediately before the individual took up that employment, on the day, determined without reference to paragraph a of section 8, on which the individual becomes resident in Canada to work on the establishment of that centre;

“eligible employer” means a person or a partnership who or which carries on a business in Canada, but does not include a person mentioned in section 984 or 985 or an eligible university entity within the meaning of paragraph f of section 1029.8.1, for the period in which the person or partnership undertakes or causes to be undertaken on the person’s or partnership’s behalf in Québec, as part of a project, scientific research and experimental development related to a business of the person or partnership and for the periods that precede and follow the carrying out of the project;

“eligible income”, for a taxation year, of an individual who is a foreign expert at any time, in relation to an employment the individual holds with an eligible employer, means the aggregate of all amounts paid as wages in the year by that employer and that may reasonably be attributed to the foreign expert’s eligible activity period in relation to that employment;

“foreign expert” for all or part of a taxation year means an individual in respect of whom the following conditions are met:

(a)  at a particular time after 9 March 1999, the individual takes up employment, as an employee, with an eligible employer under an employment contract entered into with the eligible employer after that date;

(b)  the individual is not resident in Canada immediately before entering into the employment contract or immediately before taking up employment, as an employee, with the eligible employer;

(c)  from the particular time to the end of the year or the part of the year,

i.  the individual works exclusively or almost exclusively for the eligible employer, and

ii.  the individual performs duties as an employee of the eligible employer exclusively or almost exclusively as part of a scientific research and experimental development project, whether before, during or after the carrying out of the project; and

(d)  the eligible employer has obtained in respect of the individual, for the purposes of this Title, a certificate issued by the Minister of Economy and Innovation for the taxation year and the certificate and, if applicable, all the similar certificates that were obtained in respect of the individual for preceding taxation years certify that, from the particular time to the end of the year or the part of the year, the individual is recognized as an expert;

“specified period” of an individual in relation to an employment held by the individual with an eligible employer means

(a)  if the individual entered into the individual’s employment contract with the eligible employer after 30 March 2004, any part of the individual’s eligible activity period in relation to that employment that is included in any of the five years of the period described in paragraph c of the definition of “eligible activity period”; and

(b)  in any other case, the individual’s eligible activity period in relation to that employment;

“wages” means the income computed under Chapters I and II of Title II of Book III.

Where an individual is not a foreign expert for any part of the taxation year that includes the particular day on which the individual begins to perform the duties of an employment the individual holds with an eligible employer, because the certificate referred to in the definition of “foreign expert” in the first paragraph was not obtained in respect of the individual, the individual’s eligible activity period in relation to that employment begins only on the first day of the first taxation year following the particular day for all or part of which the individual is a foreign expert.

For the purposes of the definition of “eligible income” in the first paragraph, any benefit that an individual is deemed to receive, in a particular taxation year, in connection with an employment held by the individual with an eligible employer, because of the application of any of sections 49 and 50 to 52.1, is considered to be included in the amounts that are paid to the individual as wages in the year by that employer.

2000, c. 39, s. 53; 2002, c. 9, s. 14; 2003, c. 29, s. 137; 2004, c. 21, s. 168; 2005, c. 38, s. 116; 2006, c. 8, s. 31; 2012, c. 8, s. 87; 2013, c. 28, s. 141; 2019, c. 29, s. 86.

737.22.0.0.5.1. For the purpose of establishing the eligible activity period of an individual in relation to an employment, a preceding period to which subparagraph i of paragraph b of the definition of “eligible activity period” in the first paragraph of section 737.22.0.0.5 and subparagraph 2 of subparagraph ii of that paragraph b refer means all or part of a preceding period, established in respect of the individual under any of the sections mentioned in the second paragraph of section 737.19.2 or under the regulations mentioned in that paragraph, to which an amount that the individual may deduct in computing the individual’s taxable income for a taxation year, in relation to a preceding employment, under any of the sections mentioned in the third paragraph of section 737.19.2, may reasonably be attributed.

2004, c. 21, s. 169.

737.22.0.0.5.2. If, in a taxation year, an individual is absent from an employment the individual holds with an eligible employer and, were it not for that absence, would be a foreign expert for the part of the year that is included in the individual’s period of absence, the Minister may, for the purposes of this Title, consider the remuneration paid by the eligible employer to the individual for that part of the year to be included in the individual’s eligible income for the year in relation to the employment, that the eligible employer certifies in prescribed manner, if the Minister is of the opinion that the individual is temporarily absent from the employment for reasons the Minister considers reasonable.

The individual is deemed to be a foreign expert for the part of the year in respect of which the Minister has exercised discretion in the individual’s favour in accordance with the first paragraph.

2005, c. 23, s. 87.

737.22.0.0.5.3. If, in a taxation year, it is impossible for an individual to perform duties exclusively or almost exclusively as part of a scientific research and experimental development project in relation to the employment the individual holds with an eligible employer, otherwise than because of the individual being absent from the individual’s employment, and if, were it not for that impossibility, the individual would be a foreign expert for the part of the year that is included in the period during which the impossibility subsists, the Minister may, for the purposes of this Title, consider that the individual is a foreign expert for that part of the year if the Minister is of the opinion that the impossibility is directly attributable to the measures taken to mitigate the effects of the COVID-19 pandemic.

2021, c. 36, s. 82.

737.22.0.0.6. For the application of the definition of “foreign expert” in the first paragraph of section 737.22.0.0.5 to an individual who entered into an employment contract with an eligible employer, the following rules must be taken into consideration:

(a)  the individual is deemed not to be resident in Canada immediately before taking up employment, as an employee, with the eligible employer if

i.  the individual may deduct an amount in computing the individual’s taxable income for the taxation year in which the individual so took up employment or for a preceding taxation year, in relation to a preceding employment, under any of the sections mentioned in the third paragraph of section 737.19.2, or

ii.  the individual would meet the condition set out in subparagraph i if an employer had not failed to apply, in respect of the individual, for a qualification certificate or a certificate referred to in any of the sections mentioned in subparagraph ii of paragraph a of section 737.20; and

(b)  where, in relation to taxation years preceding the year 2011, a particular certificate referred to in paragraph d of that definition has been issued in respect of the individual to any eligible employer,

i.  the particular certificate is deemed to have been issued for each of the preceding taxation years, and

ii.  the particular certificate is deemed to have been issued to the eligible employer in relation to the employment contract, if the contract has been entered into in any of the preceding taxation years.

2000, c. 39, s. 53; 2002, c. 9, s. 15; 2002, c. 40, s. 63; 2004, c. 21, s. 170; 2012, c. 8, s. 88.

In addition, the individual to whom the first or second paragraph applies is also deemed to begin performing the duties of the employment the individual holds with the eligible employer at the particular time referred to in subparagraph b of that paragraph.

The individual to whom the first paragraph refers is the individual who

(b)  may deduct, in computing the individual’s taxable income for a taxation year preceding the year 2001, in relation to a preceding employment, an amount under any of the sections mentioned in the third paragraph of section 737.19.2, or could so deduct such an amount if an employer had not failed to apply, in respect of the individual, for a qualification certificate or a certificate referred to in any of the sections mentioned in subparagraph ii of paragraph a of section 737.20.

The individual to whom the second paragraph refers is the individual who may deduct, in computing the individual’s taxable income for the taxation year in which the individual has entered into the individual’s employment contract or for a preceding taxation year, in relation to a preceding employment, an amount under any of the sections mentioned in the third paragraph of section 737.19.2, or could so deduct such an amount if an employer had not failed to apply, in respect of the individual, for a qualification certificate or a certificate referred to in any of the sections mentioned in subparagraph ii of paragraph a of section 737.20.

2004, c. 21, s. 171; 2012, c. 8, s. 89.

737.22.0.0.6.2. For the purposes of this Title, the employment contract that an individual entered into with an eligible employer, in this section referred to as the “original contract”, or a deemed contract, is deemed to end at the time when the individual ceases to be a foreign expert.

Where on 1 January 2001 an individual to whom the fourth paragraph applies holds employment with an eligible employer, the employment contract the individual entered into with that employer, in this section referred to as the “original contract”, is deemed to have ended before that date.

In addition, where at a particular time an individual would again become a foreign expert if this section were read without reference to the first and second paragraphs and the portion of paragraph c of the definition of “foreign expert” in the first paragraph of section 737.22.0.0.5 before subparagraph i and paragraph d of that definition were read as if “from the particular time to the end of the year or the part of the year” was replaced by “throughout the year or the part of the year”, the following rules apply:

The expiry, termination or cancellation of the original contract or any other event having the effect of terminating the original contract also entails the expiry, termination or cancellation, as the case may be, of a deemed contract continuing the original contract, or otherwise terminates such a contract.

The renewal of the original contract also entails the renewal of a deemed contract continuing the original contract, except if the deemed contract is deemed to have ended under the first paragraph.

(a)  the individual holds employment with the eligible employer on 1 January 2001; and

(b)  at a particular time, the individual would be, for the first time since 1 January 2001, a foreign specialist working for the eligible employer if the definition of “foreign specialist” in the first paragraph of section 737.22.0.1 were read

i.  without reference to paragraph b thereof, and

ii.  as if “from the particular time to the end of the year or the part of the year” in paragraphs c and d was replaced by “throughout the year or the part of the year”.

An individual to whom the fifth paragraph applies is deemed to take up employment, as an employee, with an eligible employer at the particular time referred to in subparagraph b where

(a)  the individual enters into an employment contract with the eligible employer after 31 December 2000; and

In addition, the individual to whom the first or second paragraph applies is also deemed to begin performing the duties of the employment the individual holds with the eligible employer at the particular time referred to in subparagraph b of that paragraph.

The individual to whom the first paragraph refers is the individual who

The individual to whom the second paragraph refers is the individual who may deduct, in computing the individual’s taxable income for the taxation year in which the individual has entered into the individual’s employment contract or for a preceding taxation year, in relation to a preceding employment, an amount under any of the sections mentioned in the third paragraph of section 737.19.2, or could so deduct such an amount if an employer had not failed to apply, in respect of the individual, for a qualification certificate or a certificate referred to in any of the sections mentioned in subparagraph ii of paragraph a of section 737.20.

2004, c. 21, s. 177; 2012, c. 8, s. 93.

737.22.0.2.2. For the purposes of this Title, the employment contract that an individual entered into with an eligible employer, in this section referred to as the “original contract”, or a deemed contract, is deemed to end at the time when the individual ceases to be a foreign specialist.

Where on 1 January 2001 an individual to whom the fourth paragraph applies holds employment with an eligible employer, the employment contract the individual entered into with that employer, in this section referred to as the “original contract”, is deemed to have ended before that date.

In addition, where at a particular time an individual would again become a foreign specialist if this section were read without reference to the first and second paragraphs and paragraphs c and d of the definition of “foreign specialist” in the first paragraph of section 737.22.0.1 were read as if “from the particular time to the end of the year or the part of the year” was replaced by “throughout the year or the part of the year”, the following rules apply:

(b)  the individual is deemed to take up employment, as an employee, with the eligible employer at the particular time and is also deemed to begin at that time to perform the duties of that new employment.

The individual to whom the second paragraph refers is the individual who

(a)  is not resident in Canada immediately before entering into the original contract or immediately before taking up employment, as an employee, with the eligible employer;

(b)  has no specialized activity period that is running on 1 January 2001 in relation to that employment; and

(c)  may deduct, in computing the individual’s taxable income for a taxation year preceding the year 2001, in relation to that employment, an amount under section 737.22.0.3, or could so deduct such an amount if the eligible employer had not failed to apply, in respect of the individual, for a certificate referred to in paragraph d of the definition of “foreign specialist” in section 737.22.0.1, as it read for that preceding taxation year.

The expiry, termination or cancellation of the original contract or any other event having the effect of terminating the original contract also entails the expiry, termination or cancellation, as the case may be, of a deemed contract continuing the original contract, or otherwise terminates such a contract.

The renewal of the original contract also entails the renewal of a deemed contract continuing the original contract, except if the deemed contract is deemed to have ended under the first paragraph.

2004, c. 21, s. 177; 2005, c. 38, s. 123; 2012, c. 8, s. 94.

737.22.0.2.3.

The rule set out in the first paragraph applies, with the necessary modifications, to a new employment contract that is entered into after 12 June 2003 with another eligible employer, who is deemed not to be an employer separate from the eligible employer, in this section referred to as the “first employer”, who entered into the original contract, provided that

(b)  the other eligible employer meets any of the following conditions:

i.  the other eligible employer controls directly or indirectly the first employer,

ii.  the other eligible employer is, directly or indirectly, a controlled subsidiary of the first employer, or

iii.  as a result of a transaction referred to in section 518 or 566, the other eligible employer continues to carry on the business of the first employer in the course of which the individual who entered into the original contract performed the individual’s duties as a foreign specialist; and

(c)  it may reasonably be considered that, but for the change of employer, the individual who entered into the original contract would have continued to be a foreign specialist working for the first employer until the time when the individual took up employment, as an employee, with the other eligible employer.

The corporation to which subparagraph a of the second paragraph refers is

(a)  if the first employer is a corporation described in paragraph a of the definition of “eligible employer” in the first paragraph of section 737.22.0.1, a corporation described in subparagraph i or ii of paragraph a of section 771.12;

(b)  if the first employer is a corporation described in paragraph d or f of the definition of “eligible employer” in the first paragraph of section 737.22.0.1, any of the following corporations:

i.  where the new employment contract is entered into between 12 June 2003 and 31 March 2004, a corporation described in that paragraph d or f, or

(c)  if the first employer is a corporation referred to in any of paragraphs e, g, h, i and j of the definition of “eligible employer” in the first paragraph of section 737.22.0.1, a corporation described in that paragraph.

The first paragraph does not apply in respect of a contract that is deemed to have ended under the first or second paragraph of section 737.22.0.2.2.

2004, c. 21, s. 177; 2005, c. 23, s. 90.

737.22.0.2.4. For the purposes of this Title, a corporation that would be an eligible employer for a taxation year within the meaning of any of paragraphs g, h, i and j of the definition of “eligible employer” in the first paragraph of section 737.22.0.1, but for paragraph c of the definition of “qualified corporation” in the first paragraph of any of sections 1029.8.36.0.3.60, 1029.8.36.72.56 and 1029.8.36.72.83, is deemed to be an eligible employer for the corporation’s taxation year ending immediately before the acquisition of control described in that paragraph c and to be a corporation described in that paragraph g, h, i or j, as the case may be, for that taxation year.

“eligible income”, for a taxation year, of an individual who is a foreign specialist at any time, in relation to an employment the individual holds with an eligible employer, means the aggregate of all amounts paid to the individual as wages in the year by that employer and that may reasonably be attributed to the foreign specialist’s specialized activity period in relation to that employment;

“foreign specialist” for all or part of a taxation year means an individual in respect of whom the following conditions are met:

(a)  at a particular time after 20 March 2012, the individual takes up employment, as an employee, with an eligible employer under an employment contract that they entered into after that date but in the period of validity specified in the employer’s qualification certificate;

(b)  the individual is not resident in Canada immediately before entering into the employment contract or immediately before taking up employment, as an employee, with the eligible employer;

(c)  the individual works exclusively or almost exclusively for the eligible employer from the particular time to the end of the year or the part of the year; and

(d)  the eligible employer has obtained in respect of the individual, for the purposes of this Title, a certificate issued by the Minister of Finance for the taxation year and the certificate and, if applicable, all the similar certificates that were obtained in respect of the individual for preceding taxation years certify that, from the particular time to the end of the year or the part of the year, the individual is recognized as a specialist;

“qualification certificate” of a corporation means the qualification certificate issued to the corporation for the purposes of Division II.6.14.4 of Chapter III.1 of Title III of Book IX;

“specialized activity period” of an individual who is a foreign specialist for all or part of a taxation year, in relation to an employment the individual holds with an eligible employer, means the period that, subject to the second paragraph, begins on the day on which the individual begins to perform the duties of that employment and ends on the earlier of

(a)  the day preceding the day on which the individual ceases to be a foreign specialist; and

(b)  the last day of the five-year period that begins,

i.  unless subparagraph ii applies, on the day on which the individual first begins to perform the duties of an employment for which the individual may deduct an amount in computing the individual’s taxable income for a taxation year under any of the sections mentioned in the third paragraph of section 737.19.2, or could so deduct such an amount if an employer had not failed to apply, in respect of the individual, for a qualification certificate or a certificate referred to in any of the sections mentioned in subparagraph ii of paragraph a of section 737.20, or

ii.  if the individual began to perform the duties of the employment referred to in subparagraph i under a contract of employment entered into with a particular corporation or partnership operating an international financial centre established by the individual and if the individual was resident in Canada immediately before the contract of employment was entered into and immediately before the individual took up that employment, on the day, determined without reference to paragraph a of section 8, on which the individual becomes resident in Canada to work on the establishment of that centre;

Where the certificate referred to in paragraph d of the definition of “foreign specialist” in the first paragraph was not issued in respect of an individual for the taxation year that includes the particular day on which the individual begins to perform the duties of an employment the individual holds with an eligible employer, the specialized activity period of the individual in relation to that employment begins only on the first day of the first taxation year following the particular day for which such a certificate has been issued in respect of the individual.

For the purposes of the definition of “eligible income” in the first paragraph, any benefit that an individual is deemed to receive, in a particular taxation year, in connection with an employment held by the individual with an eligible employer, because of the application of any of sections 49 and 50 to 52.1, is considered to be included in the amounts that are paid to the individual as wages in the year by that employer.

2013, c. 10, s. 47.

737.22.0.4.2. If, in a taxation year, an individual is absent from an employment the individual holds with an eligible employer and, were it not for that absence, would be a foreign specialist for the part of the year that is included in the individual’s period of absence, the Minister may, for the purposes of this Title, consider the wages paid by the eligible employer to the individual for that part of the year to be included in the individual’s eligible income for the year in relation to the employment, that the eligible employer certifies in prescribed manner, if the Minister is of the opinion that the individual is temporarily absent from the employment for reasons the Minister considers reasonable.

The individual is deemed to be a foreign specialist for the part of the year in respect of which the Minister has exercised discretion in the individual’s favour in accordance with the first paragraph.

2013, c. 10, s. 47.

737.22.0.4.3. Where, but for this section, a corporation would no longer be an eligible employer for a taxation year because of the revocation of its qualification certificate or of the certificate it was issued for the year, the following rules must, for the purposes of this Title, be taken into consideration despite any provision to the contrary:

(a)  the qualification certificate is deemed to be valid until the time it is revoked, and it is deemed, only as of that time, not to have been issued; and

2013, c. 10, s. 47.

737.22.0.4.4. For the purposes of the definition of “foreign specialist” in the first paragraph of section 737.22.0.4.1, an individual is deemed not to be resident in Canada immediately before taking up employment, as an employee, with an eligible employer if

(a)  the individual may deduct an amount in computing the individual’s taxable income for the taxation year in which the individual so took up employment or for a preceding taxation year, in relation to a preceding employment, under any of the sections mentioned in the third paragraph of section 737.19.2; or

(b)  the individual would meet the condition of paragraph a if an employer had not failed to apply, in respect of the individual, for a qualification certificate or a certificate referred to in any of the sections mentioned in subparagraph ii of paragraph a of section 737.20.

2013, c. 10, s. 47.

737.22.0.4.5. For the purposes of this Title, the employment contract that an individual entered into with an eligible employer (in this section referred to as the “original contract”), or a deemed contract referred to in the second paragraph, is deemed to end at the time when the individual ceases to be a foreign specialist.

In addition, where at a particular time an individual would again become a foreign specialist if this section were read without reference to the first paragraph and paragraphs c and d of the definition of “foreign specialist” in the first paragraph of section 737.22.0.4.1 were read as if “from the particular time to the end of the year or the part of the year” was replaced by “throughout the year or the part of the year”, the following rules apply:

(a)  the individual is deemed to enter into, with the eligible employer, a new employment contract (in this section referred to as the “deemed contract”) and that contract is deemed to be entered into at the particular time; and

(b)  the individual is deemed to take up employment, as an employee, with the eligible employer at the particular time and is also deemed to begin at that time to perform the duties of that new employment.

The expiry, termination or cancellation of the original contract or any other event having the effect of terminating the original contract also entails the expiry, termination or cancellation, as the case may be, of a deemed contract continuing the original contract, or otherwise terminates such a contract.

The renewal of the original contract also entails the renewal of a deemed contract continuing the original contract, except if the deemed contract is deemed to have ended under the first paragraph.

The date to which the first paragraph refers is the date of expiry of the period of validity specified in the qualification certificate of the eligible employer with whom the individual entered into the original contract.

The first paragraph does not apply in respect of a contract that is deemed to have ended under the first paragraph of section 737.22.0.4.5.

(a)  the individual is deemed to enter into, with the eligible employer, a new employment contract, in this section referred to as the “deemed contract”, and that contract is deemed to be entered into at the particular time; and

(b)  the individual is deemed to take up employment, as an employee, with the eligible employer at the particular time and is also deemed to begin at that time to perform the duties of that new employment.

The individual to whom the second paragraph refers is the individual who

(a)  is not resident in Canada immediately before entering into the original contract or immediately before taking up employment, as an employee, with the eligible employer;

(b)  has no eligible activity period that is running on 1 January 2001 in relation to that employment; and

(c)  may deduct, in computing the individual’s taxable income for a taxation year preceding the year 2001, in relation to that employment, an amount under section 737.22.0.7, or could so deduct such an amount if the eligible employer had not failed to apply, in respect of the individual, for a certificate referred to in the definition of “foreign professor” in section 737.22.0.5, as it read for that preceding taxation year.

The expiry, termination or cancellation of the original contract or any other event having the effect of terminating the original contract also entails the expiry, termination or cancellation, as the case may be, of a deemed contract continuing the original contract, or otherwise terminates such a contract.

The renewal of the original contract also entails the renewal of a deemed contract continuing the original contract, except if the deemed contract is deemed to have ended under the first paragraph.

For the purposes of this Title, the contract resulting from the renewal, after 12 June 2003, of an employment contract referred to in the definition of “foreign professor” in the first paragraph of section 737.22.0.5 is deemed not to be an employment contract separate from the employment contract referred to in that definition.

The first paragraph does not apply in respect of a contract that is deemed to have ended under the first or second paragraph of section 737.22.0.6.2.

1996, c. 39, s. 204.

744.8. Where a taxpayer disposes of a share at a particular time,

(a)  for the purpose of determining whether section 744.6 applies to the disposition, the conditions in the first paragraph of that section shall be applied without reference to a deemed disposition and reacquisition of the share before that time; and

1996, c. 39, s. 204.

745.

For the purposes of the first paragraph, any dividend received on the old share is deemed for the purposes of sections 741 to 742.3 to have been received on the new share only to the extent of the proportion of the dividend that the shareholder’s adjusted cost base of the new share immediately after the exchange is of the shareholder’s adjusted cost base of all new shares, immediately after the exchange, acquired in exchange for the old share.

For the purposes of the first paragraph, the amount by which a loss from the disposition of the new share is reduced because of the application of this section shall not exceed the proportion of the shareholder’s adjusted cost base of the old share immediately before the exchange that the shareholder’s adjusted cost base of the new share immediately after the exchange is of the shareholder’s adjusted cost base of all new shares, immediately after the exchange, acquired in exchange for the old share.

1975, c. 22, s. 206; 1978, c. 26, s. 133; 1984, c. 15, s. 173; 1995, c. 49, s. 172; 1997, c. 3, s. 71; 2001, c. 7, s. 105.

745.1. For the purposes of paragraph b of sections 741.1 and 741.3, subparagraph i of subparagraph c of the third paragraph of sections 742 and 742.1, paragraph b of sections 742.2, 742.3, 743.1, 744.0.1, 744.2.1 and 744.2.2, subparagraph b of the first paragraph of section 744.6, paragraph b of section 744.6.1 and section 745.2, where a synthetic disposition arrangement is entered into in respect of a property owned by a taxpayer and the synthetic disposition period of the arrangement is at least 30 days, the taxpayer is deemed not to own the property during the synthetic disposition period.

2017, c. 1, s. 187.

745.2. Section 745.1 does not apply in respect of a property owned by a taxpayer in respect of a synthetic disposition arrangement if the taxpayer owned the property throughout the 365-day period (determined without reference to this section) that ended immediately before the synthetic disposition period of the arrangement.

2017, c. 1, s. 187.

745.2.1. For the purposes of paragraph b of section 744.6.1, section 745.1 does not apply in respect of a particular dividend received on a share on which a taxpayer is deemed to have received a dividend under section 508, to the extent that section 508 refers to section 506, where the particular dividend is received during a synthetic disposition period of a synthetic disposition arrangement in respect of that share.

2020, c. 16, s. 101.

745.3. For the purposes of sections 741, 741.2, 743, 744 and 744.6, if a synthetic equity arrangement applies in respect of a particular number of shares that are identical properties (in this section referred to as “identical shares”) and the particular number is less than the total number of such identical shares owned by a person or partnership at that time and in respect of which there is no other synthetic equity arrangement, the synthetic equity arrangement is deemed to apply to those identical shares in the order in which the person or partnership acquired them.

2019, c. 14, s. 214.

745.4. For the purposes of the definition of “synthetic equity arrangement” in section 1, paragraphs c and d of the definition of “dividend rental arrangement” in that section and sections 740.4.2, 740.4.3 and 745.3, an arrangement that reflects the fair market value of more than one type of identical share, within the meaning of section 745.3, is considered to be a separate arrangement with respect to each type of identical share the value of which the arrangement reflects.

2019, c. 14, s. 214.

745.5. In computing the cost to a taxpayer, at any time, of an interest in a partnership that is property (other than capital property) of the taxpayer, there is to be deducted an amount equal to the aggregate of all amounts each of which is the taxpayer’s share of any loss of the partnership from the disposition by the partnership, or another partnership of which the partnership is directly or indirectly a member, of a share of the capital stock of a corporation (in this section and section 745.6 referred to as the “partnership loss”) in a fiscal period of the partnership that includes that time or a prior fiscal period, computed without reference to sections 741.2, 743 and 744.6, to the extent that the taxpayer’s share of the partnership loss has not previously reduced the taxpayer’s cost of the interest in the partnership because of the application of this section.

2021, c. 14, s. 87.

745.6. For the purposes of section 745.5, where a taxpayer disposes of an interest in a partnership at a particular time, the taxpayer’s share of a partnership loss is to be computed as if

(a)  the fiscal period of each partnership of which the taxpayer is directly or indirectly a member had ended immediately before the time that is immediately before the particular time;

(b)  each share of the capital stock of a corporation that was the property of a partnership referred to in paragraph a at the particular time had been disposed of by the partnership immediately before the end of that fiscal period for proceeds of disposition equal to its fair market value at the particular time; and

(c)  each member of a partnership referred to in paragraph a were allocated a share (determined by reference to the member’s agreed proportion for the fiscal period referred to in paragraph a) of any loss (computed without reference to sections 741.2, 743 and 744.6) in respect of a disposition described in paragraph b.

2021, c. 14, s. 87.

745.7. For the purposes of section 745.5, where a taxpayer (in this section referred to as the “transferee”) acquires an interest in a partnership at any time from another taxpayer (in this section referred to as the “transferor”), in computing the cost of the partnership interest to the transferee there is to be added an amount equal to the aggregate of all amounts each of which is an amount deducted from the transferor’s cost of the partnership interest because of section 745.5, other than an amount to which section 741.2 would apply.

2021, c. 14, s. 87.

746. A corporation resident in Canada which receives in a taxation year a dividend on a share that it owns of the capital stock of a foreign affiliate, may deduct from its income for the year in respect of that dividend:

(a)  such portion of the dividend as is prescribed to be paid out of the exempt surplus of the affiliate;

(a.1)  an amount equal to the total of

i.  one-half of the portion of the dividend that is prescribed to have been paid out of the hybrid surplus of the affiliate, and

ii.  the lesser of the amount determined under subparagraph i and the total of

(1)  the product obtained when the foreign tax prescribed to be applicable to the portion of the dividend referred to in subparagraph i is multiplied by the amount by which the corporation’s tax factor for the year exceeds one-half, and

(2)  the product obtained when the non-business-income tax, within the meaning of section 772.2, paid by the corporation and applicable to the portion of the dividend referred to in subparagraph i is multiplied by the corporation’s tax factor for the year;

(b)  the product obtained when the amount by which the corporation’s tax factor for the year exceeds one is multiplied by the foreign tax prescribed to be applicable to the portion of the dividend prescribed to have been paid out of the taxable surplus of the affiliate, without exceeding that portion of the dividend;

(c)  the lesser of the product obtained when the corporation’s tax factor for the year is multiplied by the non-business-income tax, within the meaning of section 772.2, paid by the corporation and applicable to the portion of the dividend prescribed to have been paid out of the taxable surplus of the affiliate, and the amount by which that portion of the dividend exceeds the amount deductible in respect of the dividend under subparagraph b;

(d)  such part of the dividend as is prescribed to be paid out of the pre-acquisition surplus of the affiliate.

In addition, for the purposes of this section and sections 571 to 598, the corporation may make such elections as may be prescribed.

1975, c. 22, s. 208; 1996, c. 39, s. 205.

749.

(a)  a transfer—other than a transfer the amount of which is not included in computing the income of the individual or the individual’s succession for a taxation year but would have been included, but for section 430, in computing the income of the individual or the individual’s succession for a taxation year if the transfer had been made to the individual’s legal representative for the benefit of the individual’s succession—made

i.  solely because of the obligations under a life insurance policy under which, immediately before the individual’s death, the individual’s life was insured and the individual’s consent would have been required to change the recipient of the transfer, and

ii.  from an insurer to a person that is the qualified donee and that was, immediately before the individual’s death, neither a policyholder under the policy nor an assignee of the individual’s interest under the policy; or

(b)  a transfer made

i.  solely because of the donee’s right as a beneficiary under an arrangement (other than an arrangement of which a licensed annuities provider is the issuer or carrier)

(1)  that is a registered retirement savings plan or registered retirement income fund or that was, immediately before the death, a tax-free savings account, and

(2)  under which the individual was, immediately before the individual’s death, the annuitant or holder, and

ii.  from the arrangement to the qualified donee.

752.0.10.11. For the purposes of this chapter, where an individual is, at the end of a fiscal period of a partnership, a member of the partnership, the eligible amount of a gift made in the name of the partnership is deemed to be the eligible amount of a gift made by the individual in the individual’s taxation year in which the fiscal period of the partnership ends, up to the proportion of his share in that partnership.

For the purposes of the first paragraph, the following rules apply to an individual if one or more partnerships (each of which is in this paragraph referred to as an “interposed partnership”) are interposed between the individual and a given partnership, for a given fiscal period of the given partnership:

(a)  the individual is deemed to be a member of a particular partnership at the end of a particular fiscal period of the particular partnership and that particular fiscal period is deemed to end in the individual’s taxation year in which ends the fiscal period of the interposed partnership of which the individual is directly a member, if

i.  the particular fiscal period is that which ends in the fiscal period (in this section referred to as the “interposed fiscal period”) of the interposed partnership that is a member of the particular partnership at the end of that particular fiscal period, and

ii.  the individual is a member, or deemed to be a member under this subparagraph a, of the interposed partnership described in subparagraph i at the end of the interposed partnership’s interposed fiscal period; and

(b)  the proportion of the individual’s share in the given partnership for the given fiscal period is deemed to be equal to the product obtained by multiplying the proportion of the individual’s share in the interposed partnership of which the individual is directly a member for the interposed partnership’s interposed fiscal period, by

i.  if there is only one interposed partnership, the proportion of the interposed partnership’s share in the given partnership for the given fiscal period, or

ii.  if there is more than one interposed partnership, the result obtained by multiplying together all proportions each of which is the proportion of an interposed partnership’s share in the particular partnership referred to in subparagraph a of which the interposed partnership is a member for the particular partnership’s particular fiscal period.

The rule set out in the second paragraph does not apply in respect of an individual, in relation to a given partnership, if the Minister is of the opinion that the interposition, between the individual and the given partnership, of one or more other partnerships is part of an operation or transaction or of a series of operations or transactions, one of the purposes of which is to cause the eligible amount of a gift that is attributed to the individual under the first paragraph for a taxation year to be greater than the amount that would have been so attributed to the individual for that taxation year, but for that interposition.

1993, c. 64, s. 67; 1997, c. 3, s. 71; 2009, c. 5, s. 281; 2009, c. 15, s. 142.

752.0.10.11.1. For the purposes of this chapter, if at any time an individual makes a gift of a work of art described in the second paragraph to a donee referred to in any of paragraphs b to e and g to j of the definition of “qualified donee” in section 999.2 or in any of subparagraphs i, iv and v of paragraph a of the definition of “qualified donee” in subsection 1 of section 149.1 of the Income Tax Act (R.S.C. 1985, c. 1 (5th Suppl.)) and whose registration as a qualified donee has not been revoked by the Minister of National Revenue, other than such a donee who acquires the work of art in connection with its primary mission, the individual is deemed, in respect of that work of art, not to have made a gift unless the donee disposes of the work of art on or before 31 December of the fifth year following the year that includes that time.

The work of art to which the first paragraph refers is a print, an etching, a drawing, a painting, a sculpture or any work of a similar nature, a tapestry or hand-woven carpet or hand-made appliqué, a lithograph, a rare folio, a rare manuscript or a rare book, a stamp or a coin.

752.0.10.11.2. If, at any given time, an individual makes a gift of a work of art referred to in section 752.0.10.11.1 to a donee referred to in that section, the lesser of the amount that may reasonably be considered as the consideration for the disposition by the donee of the work of art and its fair market value at the time of the disposition, is deemed, for the purposes of the definition of “total charitable gifts” in the first paragraph of section 752.0.10.1, to be the fair market value for the purpose of computing the eligible amount of the gift at the given time, for the purposes of section 752.0.10.12, to be the fair market value of the capital property at the given time and, for the purposes of section 752.0.10.13, to be the fair market value of the work of art at the given time.

1995, c. 63, s. 57; 2005, c. 23, s. 99; 2009, c. 5, s. 282.

(a)  in the case of a depreciable property of a prescribed class, the lesser of the undepreciated capital cost of that class at the end of the taxation year of the individual that includes that time, determined without reference to the proceeds of disposition determined in respect of the property under the second paragraph, and the adjusted cost base to the individual of the property immediately before that time; and

(b)  in any other case, the adjusted cost base to the individual of the capital property or immovable property immediately before that time.

The lesser of the fair market value of the capital property or immovable property otherwise determined and the greatest of the following amounts, is deemed to be both the individual’s proceeds of disposition of the capital property or immovable property and, for the purposes of section 7.21, the fair market value of the gift:

(a)  in the case of a gift made after 20 December 2002, the amount of the advantage in respect of the gift;

(b)  the amount determined under subparagraph a or b of the first paragraph in respect of the capital property or immovable property; and

752.0.10.13. The rules set out in section 752.0.10.14 apply in respect of a gift made by an individual of a work of art that meets any of the following conditions if the gift is described in the definition of “total charitable gifts” in the first paragraph of section 752.0.10.1 or if the work of art is a cultural property described in section 232:

ii.  if the individual is the succession that is the graduated rate estate of a particular individual who created the work of art that is the subject of the gift and at the time immediately before the particular individual’s death the fair market value of the work of art exceeds its cost amount to the particular individual, the particular individual is deemed to receive at that time proceeds of disposition in respect of the work of art equal to its cost amount to the particular individual at that time and the succession is deemed to have acquired the work of art at a cost equal to those proceeds of disposition; and

(a)  to cease to be, from the particular year, a registered pledge if

i.  at the end of the preceding taxation year, the aggregate of all amounts each of which is the eligible amount of a gift made, at or before that time, by the individual in satisfaction of the pledge was at least $250,000, or

ii.  the particular year is included in the calendar year in which the individual became a bankrupt; or

(a)  except for the purpose of determining the individual’s proceeds of disposition of the security pursuant to section 752.0.10.12, the gift is deemed not to have been made;

(b)  if the security ceases to be a non-qualifying security of the individual at a subsequent time that is within 60 months after the particular time and the donee has not disposed of the security at or before the subsequent time, the individual is deemed to have made a gift to the donee of property at the subsequent time and the fair market value of the property is deemed to be the lesser of the fair market value of the security at the subsequent time and the fair market value of the security at the particular time that would, but for this section, have been included in the individual’s total charitable gifts for a taxation year; and

(c)  if the security is disposed of by the donee within 60 months after the particular time and paragraph b does not apply to the security, the individual is deemed to have made a gift to the donee of a property at the time of the disposition and the fair market value of the property is deemed to be the lesser of the fair market value of any consideration (other than a non-qualifying security of any person) received by the donee for the security and the fair market value of the security at the particular time that would, but for this section, have been included in the individual’s total charitable gifts for a taxation year;

(d)  (paragraph repealed).

2012, c. 8, s. 120.

752.0.10.16.2. If this section applies because of section 752.0.10.16.1, the following rules apply:

(a)  for the purposes of this chapter, the fair market value of the particular property is deemed to be reduced by an amount equal to the fair market value of the non-qualifying security acquired by the qualified donee;

(b)  for the purposes of section 752.0.10.16, the following presumptions apply:

i.  if the non-qualifying security acquired by the qualified donee is a non-qualifying security of the particular person, it is deemed to be a non-qualifying security of the individual, and

(c)  paragraph b of section 752.0.10.16 does not apply in respect of the gift.

2012, c. 8, s. 120.

752.0.10.16.3. For the purposes of sections 752.0.10.16.1 and 752.0.10.16.2, if, as part of a series of transactions, an individual makes a gift to a qualified donee and the qualified donee acquires a non-qualifying security of a person (other than the individual or the particular person referred to in section 752.0.10.16.1) and it may reasonably be considered, having regard to all the circumstances, that one of the purposes or results of the acquisition of the non-qualifying security by the qualified donee was to facilitate, directly or indirectly, the making of the gift by the individual, the non-qualifying security acquired by the qualified donee is deemed to be a non-qualifying security of the individual.

2012, c. 8, s. 120.

752.0.10.17. Where a share, in this section referred to as the “new share”, that is a non-qualifying security of an individual has been acquired by a donee referred to in section 752.0.10.16 in exchange for another share, in this section referred to as the “exchanged share”, that is a non-qualifying security of the individual as a result of a transaction to which any of sections 301, 301.1, 537 and 541 to 555.4 applies, the new share is deemed for the purposes of section 752.0.10.16 and this section to be the same share as the exchanged share.

1999, c. 83, s. 96.

752.0.10.17.1. For the purposes of section 752.0.10.16, if a donee disposes of a beneficial interest in a trust that is a non-qualifying security of an individual in circumstances where paragraph c of section 752.0.10.16 would, but for this section, apply in respect of the disposition, and in respect of which the donee receives no consideration other than other non-qualifying securities of the individual, the gift referred to in section 752.0.10.16 is deemed to be a gift of those other non-qualifying securities.

2009, c. 15, s. 143.

752.0.10.18. For the purposes of this chapter, the fair market value of a gift of property made at any particular time by an individual is deemed to be equal to the fair market value of the gift of property otherwise determined minus the amount described in the second paragraph, where

(a)  if the property is a non-qualifying security of the individual, the gift is an excepted gift; and

(b)  within 60 months after the particular time,

i.  the donee holds a non-qualifying security of the individual that was acquired by the donee on the latest of 1 August 1997 and any time that is after 60 months before the particular time, or

ii.  both

(1)  the individual or any person or partnership with whom or with which the individual does not deal at arm’s length uses property of the donee under an agreement that was made or modified after the time that is 60 months before the particular time and has begun to so use it after 31 July 1997, and

(2)  the property was not used in the carrying on of the donee’s charitable activities.

The amount to which the first paragraph refers is the aggregate of all amounts each of which is the fair market value of the consideration given by the donee to acquire a non-qualifying security referred to in subparagraph i of subparagraph b of the first paragraph or the fair market value of property referred to in subparagraph ii of that subparagraph b, as the case may be.

Where the first paragraph applies for the purpose of determining the fair market value of a gift made at any particular time by an individual, the fair market value, referred to in the second paragraph, of consideration given to acquire a non-qualifying security referred to in subparagraph i of subparagraph b of the first paragraph or of property referred to in subparagraph ii of that subparagraph b is deemed to be equal to the fair market value of the consideration otherwise determined minus any portion of it that has been used under the first paragraph to reduce the fair market value of another gift made before that time by the individual.

1999, c. 83, s. 96; 2009, c. 15, s. 144.

752.0.10.19.

(b)  the option is exercised so that the property is disposed of by the individual and acquired by the qualified donee at a particular time; and

(c)  either

(1)  the consideration received by the individual from the qualified donee for the property, and

(2)  the consideration received by the individual from the qualified donee for the option, or

ii.  the individual establishes to the satisfaction of the Minister that the granting of the option or the disposition of the property was made by the individual with the intention to make a gift to the qualified donee.

2012, c. 8, s. 121.

752.0.10.21. If this section applies because of section 752.0.10.20, the following rules apply despite paragraph a of section 296:

i.  the adjusted cost base of which to the individual immediately before the particular time is equal to the consideration paid by the qualified donee for the option, and

ii.  the proceeds of disposition of which are equal to the lesser of the fair market value of the particular property at the particular time and the fair market value of any consideration (other than a non-qualifying security of a person) received by the qualified donee for the option; and

(b)  there shall be included in the total charitable gifts of the individual for the individual’s taxation year that includes the particular time the amount by which the proceeds of disposition as determined by subparagraph ii of paragraph a exceed the consideration paid by the qualified donee for the option.

2012, c. 8, s. 121.

752.0.10.23. Section 752.0.10.24 applies if a qualified donee has issued to an individual a receipt referred to in section 752.0.10.3 in respect of a transfer of a property (in this section and section 752.0.10.24 referred to as the “original property”) and a property (in this section and sections 752.0.10.24 to 752.0.10.26 referred to as the “particular property”) that is

(a)  the original property is later transferred to the individual (unless that later transfer is reasonable consideration or remuneration for property acquired by or services rendered to a person); or

(b)  any other property that may reasonably be considered compensation for or a substitute for, in whole or in part, the original property, is later transferred to the individual.

2012, c. 8, s. 121.

752.0.10.24. If this section applies because of section 752.0.10.23, the following rules apply:

(a)  irrespective of whether the transfer of the original property by the individual is a gift, the individual is deemed not to have disposed of the original property at the time of that transfer nor to have made a gift;

(b)  if the particular property is identical to the original property, the particular property is deemed to be the original property; and

(c)  if the particular property is not the original property,

i.  the individual is deemed to have disposed of the original property at the time that the particular property is transferred to the individual for proceeds of disposition equal to the greater of the fair market value of the particular property at that time and the fair market value of the original property at the time that it was transferred by the individual to the qualified donee, and

ii.  if, but for paragraph a, the transfer of the original property by the individual would be a gift, the individual is deemed to have, at the time of that transfer, transferred to the qualified donee a property that is the subject of a gift having a fair market value equal to the amount by which the fair market value of the original property at the time of that transfer exceeds the fair market value of the particular property at the time that it is transferred to the individual.

2012, c. 8, s. 121.

752.0.10.25. If section 752.0.10.24 applies in respect of a transfer of a particular property to an individual and that particular property has a fair market value greater than $50, the transferor must, in respect of that transfer, file a return containing prescribed information with the Minister not later than 90 days after the day on which the particular property was transferred and provide a copy of the return to the individual.

(a)  in the case of an amount deductible for such a taxation year under sections 752.0.1 to 752.0.7, the individual shall deduct only the portion of that amount otherwise determined that is equal to the proportion that the number of days in that taxation year is of the number of days in the calendar year;

(b)  in the case of an amount that is deductible for such a taxation year under section 752.0.0.1 or 752.0.14, the amount is to be computed as if the particular amount in dollars that is referred to in that section and that would otherwise be applicable for such a taxation year, with reference to section 750.2, was replaced by the proportion of that particular amount that the number of days in that taxation year is of the number of days in the calendar year;

(b.0.1)  in the case of an amount that is deductible for such a taxation year under section 752.0.10.0.3, the amount is to be computed as if

i.  the amounts of $11,000 and $10,000, wherever they are mentioned in the third paragraph of section 752.0.10.0.3, were replaced, respectively, by the proportion of $11,000 and $10,000 that the number of days in that taxation year is of the number of days in the calendar year,

ii.  the amount of $5,000, wherever it is mentioned in section 752.0.10.0.3, were replaced, for the taxation year that is deemed to begin on the date of the bankruptcy, by an amount equal to the amount by which $5,000 exceeds the individual’s eligible work income, within the meaning of section 752.0.10.0.2, which is determined for the taxation year that is deemed to end the day before the bankruptcy and which is attributable to a period in that latter year when the individual is 60 years of age or over,

iii.  the particular amount of the reduction threshold, mentioned in subparagraph c of the second paragraph of section 752.0.10.0.3, that would otherwise be applicable for such a taxation year, were replaced by the proportion of that particular amount that the number of days in that taxation year is of the number of days in the calendar year, and

iv.  the amount of $4,000, mentioned in the fourth paragraph of section 752.0.10.0.3, were replaced by the proportion of $4,000 that the number of days in that taxation year is of the number of days in the calendar year; and

(b.1)  (subparagraph repealed);

(c)  the amount deductible by the individual in respect of all of those taxation years, under any of those sections, shall not exceed the amount that would have been deductible under that section had the individual not become a bankrupt during the calendar year.

For the purposes of subparagraph a of the first paragraph in respect of each of the taxation years referred to in section 779 that end in the calendar year in which an individual becomes a bankrupt, where the individual includes, in computing the aggregate referred to in section 752.0.1, an amount under paragraph f of section 752.0.1 in respect of a person who reaches 18 years of age in the calendar year and the person is under 18 years of age at the end of the taxation year that is deemed to end the day before the bankruptcy, the following rules apply:

(a)  the number of days in the taxation year that is deemed to end the day before the bankruptcy is deemed to be equal to zero; and

(b)  the number of days in the taxation year that is deemed to begin on the date of the bankruptcy is deemed to be equal to the number of days in the calendar year.

For the purposes of subparagraphs i, iii and iv of subparagraph b.0.1 of the first paragraph in respect of each of the taxation years referred to in section 779 that end in the calendar year in which an individual becomes a bankrupt, in computing the proportion described in those subparagraphs, no account is to be taken of the days in that taxation year and that calendar year on which the individual is not at least 60 years of age.

752.0.27.1. For the purposes of sections 752.0.0.4 to 752.0.0.6, if an individual becomes a bankrupt in a calendar year and section 752.0.0.3 applies in respect of the individual for each of the individual’s taxation years referred to in section 779 that end in the calendar year, there shall be taken into account, as a covered benefit attributable to any of those taxation years, only an amount that is wholly attributable to that taxation year.

DIVISION I RETROACTIVE PAYMENTS

2015, c. 21, s. 304.

766.2. An individual’s tax otherwise payable for a particular taxation year is to be adjusted in accordance with the second paragraph if

(a)  the individual is not required to include, by reason of the second paragraph of section 312.5, an amount in computing the individual’s income for the particular taxation year;

(a.1)  the individual is not required to include, by reason of the second paragraph of section 694.0.0.1, an amount in computing taxable income for the particular taxation year;

(b)  the individual is required to include, by reason of section 694.0.1, an amount in computing the individual’s taxable income for the particular taxation year; or

(c)  the individual deducts, by reason of section 725.1.2, an amount in computing the individual’s taxable income, or the individual’s taxable income earned in Canada as determined under Part II, for the particular taxation year.

The adjustment to which the first paragraph refers is made in the following manner:

(a)  the amount of the adjustment, in relation to the particular taxation year, is equal to the aggregate of all amounts each of which is the amount of the tax adjustment relating to the averaging, determined in respect of the individual, that is attributable to a preceding taxation year that is an eligible taxation year of the individual, hereinafter called the “taxation year to which the averaging applies”, to which an amount referred to in any of subparagraphs a to c of the first paragraph that the individual receives or pays in the particular taxation year relates, in whole or in part;

(b)  if the amount of the adjustment, in relation to the particular taxation year, determined in accordance with subparagraph a, is greater than or equal to zero, that amount is an amount that the individual is required to add to the individual’s tax otherwise payable under this Part for that particular year; and

(c)  if the amount of the adjustment, in relation to the particular taxation year, determined in accordance with subparagraph a, is less than zero, that amount expressed as a positive number is an amount that the individual may deduct from the individual’s tax otherwise payable under this Part for that particular year.

The amount of the tax adjustment relating to the averaging, determined in respect of the individual, that is attributable to a taxation year to which the averaging applies, for the purpose of determining the amount of the adjustment in relation to the particular taxation year, is equal to the positive or negative amount determined by the formula

(A - B) + C + D - (E - F).

In the formula in the third paragraph,

(a)  A is the total of the tax that would have been payable by the individual, for the taxation year to which the averaging applies, under this Part and, if the taxation year to which the averaging applies precedes the taxation year 1998, under Part I.1, as it read for that year, if the portion of each amount subject to an averaging mechanism, in relation to the individual for the particular taxation year or a preceding taxation year, that relates to the taxation year to which the averaging applies had been included or deducted in computing the individual’s taxable income for the taxation year to which the averaging applies;

(b)  B is the total of the tax payable by the individual, for the taxation year to which the averaging applies, under this Part and, if the taxation year to which the averaging applies precedes the taxation year 1998, under Part I.1, as it read for that year;

(c)  C is the aggregate of the amount by which the amount that a person, other than the individual, has deducted in computing the person’s tax otherwise payable under section 752.0.15 for the taxation year to which the averaging applies, as it read before being repealed, in respect of that taxation year, exceeds the amount that the person could have deducted in computing the person’s tax otherwise payable under section 752.0.15 for that year if the portion of each amount subject to an averaging mechanism, in relation to the individual for the particular taxation year or a preceding taxation year, that relates to the taxation year to which the averaging applies had been included or deducted in computing the individual’s taxable income for the taxation year to which the averaging applies, and the following amount:

i.  if the taxation year to which the averaging applies is subsequent to the taxation year 2002, but precedes the taxation year 2007, and, in the case of the taxation year 2003 or 2004, the rules set out in Book V.2.1, as it read for that year, did not apply to the individual’s eligible spouse for the year, within the meaning of sections 776.41.1 to 776.41.4, the amount by which the amount that the spouse has deducted in computing the spouse’s tax otherwise payable for that year under section 776.41.5, exceeds the amount that the spouse could have deducted in computing the spouse’s tax otherwise payable for that year under section 776.41.5, if the portion of each amount subject to an averaging mechanism, in relation to the individual for the particular taxation year or a preceding taxation year, that relates to the taxation year to which the averaging applies had been included or deducted in computing the individual’s taxable income for that year,

ii.  if the taxation year to which the averaging applies is the taxation year 2003 or 2004 and the rules set out in Book V.2.1, as it read for that year, did apply to the individual’s eligible spouse for the year, within the meaning of sections 776.41.1 to 776.41.4, the amount by which the amount that the spouse has deducted in computing the spouse’s tax otherwise payable for that year under section 776.78, as it read for that year, exceeds the amount that the spouse could have deducted in computing the spouse’s tax otherwise payable for that year under section 776.78, if the portion of each amount subject to an averaging mechanism, in relation to the individual for the particular taxation year or a preceding taxation year, that relates to the taxation year to which the averaging applies had been included or deducted in computing the individual’s taxable income for that year,

iii.  if the taxation year to which the averaging applies precedes the taxation year 2003 and the rules set out in Book V.2.1, as it read for that year, did apply to the individual’s spouse for the year, the amount by which the amount that the spouse has deducted in computing the spouse’s tax otherwise payable for that year under section 776.78, as it read for that year, exceeds the amount that the spouse could have deducted in computing the spouse’s tax otherwise payable for that year under section 776.78, if the portion of each amount subject to an averaging mechanism, in relation to the individual for the particular taxation year or a preceding taxation year, that relates to the taxation year to which the averaging applies had been included or deducted in computing the individual’s taxable income for that year,

iv.  if the taxation year to which the averaging applies precedes the taxation year 2003 and subparagraph iii does not apply, the amount by which the amount that the individual’s spouse has deducted in computing the spouse’s tax otherwise payable for that year under section 752.0.19, as it read for that year, exceeds the amount that the spouse could have deducted in computing the spouse’s tax otherwise payable for that year under section 752.0.19, if the portion of each amount subject to an averaging mechanism, in relation to the individual for the particular taxation year or a preceding taxation year, that relates to the taxation year to which the averaging applies had been included or deducted in computing the individual’s taxable income for that year; and

v.  if the taxation year to which the averaging applies is subsequent to the taxation year 2006, the aggregate of

(1)  the amount by which the amount that the individual’s eligible spouse for the year, within the meaning of sections 776.41.1 to 776.41.4, has deducted in computing the spouse’s tax otherwise payable for that year under section 776.41.5, exceeds the amount that the spouse could have deducted in computing the spouse’s tax otherwise payable for that year under section 776.41.5, if the portion of each amount subject to an averaging mechanism, in relation to the individual for the particular taxation year or a preceding taxation year, that relates to the taxation year to which the averaging applies had been included or deducted in computing the individual’s taxable income for that year,

(2)  the amount by which the amount that a person, other than the individual, has deducted in computing the person’s tax otherwise payable under section 776.41.14 for the taxation year to which the averaging applies, exceeds the amount that the person could have deducted in computing the person’s tax otherwise payable for that year under section 776.41.14, if the portion of each amount subject to an averaging mechanism, in relation to the individual for the particular taxation year or a preceding taxation year, that relates to the taxation year to which the averaging applies had been included or deducted in computing the individual’s taxable income for that year, and

(3)  the amount by which the amount that a person, other than the individual, has deducted in computing the person’s tax otherwise payable under section 776.41.21 for the taxation year to which the averaging applies, exceeds the amount that the person could have deducted in computing the person’s tax otherwise payable for that year under section 776.41.21, if the portion of each amount subject to an averaging mechanism, in relation to the individual for the particular taxation year or a preceding taxation year, that relates to the taxation year to which the averaging applies had been included or deducted in computing the individual’s taxable income for that year;

(d)  D is the amount by which the amount that would be determined under subparagraph a for the taxation year to which the averaging applies, if the portion of each amount subject to an averaging mechanism, to which subparagraph a refers, that relates to the taxation year to which the averaging applies was determined without taking into account the portion of the amounts referred to in the first paragraph of section 1029.8.50 that relates to the taxation year to which the averaging applies in respect of which the individual is deemed to have paid an amount to the Minister under section 1029.8.50 for the particular taxation year, exceeds the amount determined under subparagraph a for the taxation year to which the averaging applies;

(e)  E is the aggregate of all amounts each of which is the amount of the tax adjustment relating to the averaging, determined in respect of the individual, that may reasonably be attributed to the taxation year to which the averaging applies and that is determined for a taxation year preceding the particular taxation year; and

(f)  F is the aggregate of all amounts each of which is an amount determined under subparagraph d, in respect of the taxation year to which the averaging applies, for a taxation year preceding the particular taxation year.

For the purpose of determining any amount under the third and fourth paragraphs, the following rules apply:

For the purpose of applying this Part to any taxation year,

(a)  an amount that is not otherwise deducted in computing an individual’s taxable income or tax payable under this Part for a taxation year to which the averaging applies, but that is deducted for the purpose of establishing the amount determined in respect of the individual under any of subparagraphs a, c and d of the fourth paragraph for that taxation year, is deemed, for the application of this Part to any taxation year, to have been deducted in computing the individual’s taxable income or tax payable under this Part for the taxation year to which the averaging applies, including when establishing the amount determined in respect of the individual for another taxation year under any of subparagraphs a, c and d of the fourth paragraph or under subparagraph a or d of the second paragraph of section 766.3.2 or subparagraph b of the third paragraph of that section;

(b)  an amount that is otherwise deducted in computing an individual’s taxable income or tax payable under this Part for a taxation year that is subsequent to the taxation year to which the averaging applies may not be taken into account for the purpose of establishing the amount determined in respect of the individual under any of subparagraphs a, c and d of the fourth paragraph for the taxation year to which the averaging applies; and

(c)  an amount that, under subparagraph a of the sixth paragraph of section 766.3.2, is deemed deducted in computing an individual’s taxable income or tax payable under this Part for a taxation year to which the averaging applies, because it is deducted in that computation for the purpose of establishing the amount determined in respect of the individual under subparagraph a or d of the second paragraph of section 766.3.2 or subparagraph b of the third paragraph of that section for the taxation year to which the averaging applies, may not be taken into account for the purpose of establishing the amount determined in respect of the individual under any of subparagraphs a, c and d of the fourth paragraph for that taxation year.

771.2.1.2.1. A corporation to which paragraph a of section 771.2.1.2 refers for a particular taxation year is a corporation in respect of which the number of remunerated hours referred to in either of the following subparagraphs exceeds 5,000:

(a)  the number of remunerated hours determined in respect of the employees of the corporation for the particular year; or

(b)  the number of remunerated hours determined in respect of the employees of the corporation and of those of the corporations with which the corporation is associated in the particular year, for the taxation years of those corporations that ended in the calendar year preceding the calendar year in which the particular year ends.

For the purposes of the first paragraph,

(a)  the number of remunerated hours determined in respect of a person that may be taken into account for a week may not exceed 40;

(b)  subject to the third paragraph, the remunerated hours may be taken into account only to the extent that they were paid; and

(c)  the remunerated hours may be taken into account for a taxation year only to the extent that the expenditure relating to those hours was incurred in that year.

For the purposes of this section, a person who holds, directly or indirectly, shares of the capital stock of a corporation carrying more than 50% of the votes that could be cast under any circumstances at the annual meeting of shareholders of the corporation is considered to be an employee of the corporation and the unremunerated hours of work the person carries out in a week to actively engage in the corporation’s activities are deemed to be remunerated hours in respect of that person for which the expenditure was incurred in that week, provided that the hours are recorded in a register that the corporation keeps in that respect and according to the formula

1.1 × A.

In the formula in the third paragraph, A is the number of unremunerated hours of work carried out by the person in a week, without exceeding 36.36.

For the purposes of subparagraph a of the first paragraph,

(a)  where the number of days in the corporation’s particular taxation year is less than 365, the number of remunerated hours determined in respect of the corporation’s employees in the particular year is deemed to be equal to the product obtained by multiplying that number otherwise determined by the proportion that 365 is of the number of days in the particular year; and

(b)  where the period that begins on 15 March 2020 and ends on 29 June 2020 (in this subparagraph referred to as the “period of closure”) is included, in whole or in part, in the corporation’s particular taxation year, the number of remunerated hours determined in respect of the corporation’s employees in the particular year is deemed to be equal to the product obtained by multiplying that number, otherwise determined without reference to subparagraph a, by the proportion that 365 is of the amount by which the number of days in the particular year exceeds the number of days in the period of closure that are included in the particular year.

For the purposes of subparagraph b of the first paragraph, a corporation (in this paragraph referred to as the “new corporation”) that is formed as a result of the amalgamation, within the meaning of section 544, of two or more corporations (each of which is in this paragraph referred to as a “predecessor corporation”) and in respect of which the particular taxation year to which the first paragraph refers is its first taxation year, is deemed to have a number of remunerated hours, determined in respect of its employees, for a taxation year that ended in the calendar year preceding the calendar year in which that first taxation year ends, equal to the aggregate of all remunerated hours each of which is a remunerated hour, determined in respect of an employee of a predecessor corporation, for the predecessor corporation’s taxation year that ended in the calendar year preceding the calendar year in which that first taxation year ends.

For the purposes of this section,

(a)  the number of remunerated hours determined in respect of a person that may be taken into account for a week may not exceed 40;

(b)  the remunerated hours may be taken into account only to the extent that they were paid; and

(c)  the remunerated hours may be taken into account for a fiscal period only to the extent that the expenditure relating to those hours was incurred in that fiscal year.

For the purposes of the first paragraph,

(a)  where the number of days in the partnership’s fiscal period is less than 365, the number of remunerated hours determined in respect of the partnership’s employees in the fiscal period is deemed to be equal to the product obtained by multiplying that number otherwise determined by the proportion that 365 is of the number of days in the fiscal period; and

(b)  where the period that begins on 15 March 2020 and ends on 29 June 2020 (in this subparagraph referred to as the “period of closure”) is included, in whole or in part, in the partnership’s fiscal period, the number of remunerated hours determined in respect of the partnership’s employees in the fiscal period is deemed to be equal to the product obtained by multiplying that number, otherwise determined and without reference to subparagraph a, by the proportion that 365 is of the amount by which the number of days in the fiscal period exceeds the number of days in the period of closure that are included in the fiscal period.

2017, c. 1, s. 214; 2017, c. 29, s. 157; 2019, c. 14, s. 243; 2021, c. 14, s. 92; 2021, c. 18, s. 64.

771.2.1.3. In this Title, a corporation’s business limit for a taxation year is equal to $500,000 unless the corporation is associated in the year with one or more other Canadian-controlled private corporations in which case, except as otherwise provided in this Title, its business limit for the year is equal to zero.

For the purposes of the first paragraph and sections 771.2.1.4 to 771.2.1.8, the following rules apply:

(a)  section 21.21 does not apply to deem two corporations to be associated with each other at any time because they are associated, or deemed to be associated under section 21.21, at that time with the same corporation (in this paragraph referred to as the “third corporation”), if the third corporation is not a Canadian-controlled private corporation at that time or is a Canadian-controlled private corporation that has made a valid election under subsection 2 of section 256 of the Income Tax Act (R.S.C. 1985, c. 1 (5th Suppl.)), in relation to its taxation year that includes that time; and

(b)  where the third corporation has made the valid election referred to in subparagraph a, its business limit for its taxation year that includes that time is deemed to be equal to zero.

771.2.1.4. Despite the first paragraph of section 771.2.1.3, if a Canadian-controlled private corporation is associated with one or more other Canadian-controlled private corporations and all of those corporations have filed with the Minister in prescribed form an agreement whereby, for the purposes of this Title, they allocate a percentage to one or more of them for the year, the business limit for the year of each of the corporations is equal to the product obtained by multiplying $500,000 by the percentage so allocated to it, if the percentage or the aggregate of the percentages so allocated, as the case may be, does not exceed 100%, and to zero, in any other case.

2005, c. 38, s. 173; 2010, c. 5, s. 69.

The business limit of a corporation for a taxation year, determined under the first paragraph of section 771.2.1.3 or under section 771.2.1.4 or 771.2.1.5, is reduced by the total of all amounts each of which is the portion, if any, of the business limit that the corporation assigns to another corporation in accordance with section 771.2.1.4.2.

2019, c. 14, s. 245.

771.2.1.4.2.

In the formula in the first paragraph,

(a)  A is the amount of income to which subparagraph a of the first paragraph refers; and

(b)  B is the portion of the amount of income to which subparagraph a of the first paragraph refers that is deductible by the first corporation in respect of the amount of income referred to in paragraph a or b of section 771.2.1.2.0.1 for the taxation year.

2019, c. 14, s. 245.

771.2.1.4.3. For the purposes of the definition of “specified partnership income” in the first paragraph of section 771.1, a person that is a member of a partnership in a taxation year may assign to a designated member of the partnership—for a taxation year of the designated member—all or any portion (determined without reference to this assignment) of the person’s specified partnership business limit in respect of the person’s taxation year if

(a)  the person is described in paragraph b of the definition of “designated member” in the first paragraph of section 771.1 in respect of the designated member in the designated member’s taxation year;

(b)  the person’s specified partnership business limit is in respect of a fiscal period of the partnership that ends in the designated member’s taxation year; and

2005, c. 38, s. 173; 2010, c. 5, s. 69.

771.2.1.6. If any of the Canadian-controlled private corporations that are associated with each other in a taxation year has, in that year, an establishment in a province other than Québec and a percentage or an amount is allocated, in accordance with subsection 3 or 4 of section 125 of the Income Tax Act (R.S.C. 1985, c. 1, (5th Suppl.)), to one or more of those corporations for the year,

(a)  the percentage allocated to each of the corporations for the year in accordance with section 771.2.1.4 is to be equal to the percentage that was allocated to it in accordance with that subsection 3 for the year; and

(b)  the amount allocated to each of the corporations for the year in accordance with section 771.2.1.5 is to be equal to the amount obtained by multiplying the lesser of the amounts that would be the business limit for the year of each of the corporations if none of them was associated with another corporation in the year and if no reference were made to sections 771.2.1.7 and 771.2.1.8, by the proportion that the amount allocated for the year to the corporation in accordance with subsection 4 of section 125 of the Income Tax Act is of the aggregate of the amounts allocated for the year, in accordance with that subsection 4, to each of the corporations.

If, for a taxation year, a corporation referred to in the first paragraph has filed an agreement with the Minister of National Revenue in accordance with subsection 3 of section 125 of the Income Tax Act, the corporation shall file with the Minister, for that year, a copy of the agreement.

2005, c. 38, s. 173; 2010, c. 5, s. 70.

Chapter V.2 of Title II of Book I applies in relation to a form filed with the Minister of National Revenue in accordance with paragraph d of subsection 3.2 of section 125 of the Income Tax Act.

771.2.1.7. Despite the first paragraph of section 771.2.1.3 and sections 771.2.1.4, 771.2.1.5 and 771.2.1.6, the following rules apply:

(a)  if a Canadian-controlled private corporation, in this paragraph referred to as the “first corporation”, has more than one taxation year ending in the same calendar year and is associated in two or more of those taxation years with another Canadian-controlled private corporation that has a taxation year ending in that calendar year, the business limit of the first corporation for each particular taxation year that ends in the calendar year in which it is associated with the other corporation and that ends after the first taxation year ending in that calendar year is, subject to subparagraph b, an amount equal to the lesser of

i.  its business limit for the first taxation year ending in the calendar year, determined in accordance with section 771.2.1.4 or 771.2.1.5, and

ii.  its business limit for the particular taxation year ending in the calendar year, determined in accordance with section 771.2.1.4 or 771.2.1.5; and

(b)  if a Canadian-controlled private corporation has a taxation year of fewer than 51 weeks, its business limit for the year is that proportion of its business limit for the year, determined without reference to this paragraph and section 771.2.1.8, that the number of days in the year is of 365.

However, if subparagraph a of the first paragraph applies to a particular taxation year 2009 or 2010 of a corporation that ends after 19 March 2009, subparagraph i of that subparagraph a is to be read as follows:

“i. the amount that would be its business limit for the first taxation year ending in the calendar year, determined in accordance with section 771.2.1.4 or 771.2.1.5, if the reference to the amount in dollars that is provided for in section 771.2.1.4, as it applies in respect of that first taxation year, were replaced by a reference to the amount in dollars that is provided for in that section, as it applies in respect of the particular taxation year ending in the calendar year, and”.

2005, c. 38, s. 173; 2010, c. 5, s. 71; 2019, c. 14, s. 247.

771.2.1.8. Despite the first paragraph of section 771.2.1.3 and sections 771.2.1.4, 771.2.1.5, 771.2.1.6 and 771.2.1.7, a Canadian-controlled private corporation’s business limit for a taxation year ending in a calendar year is equal to the amount by which its business limit for the taxation year, determined without reference to this section, exceeds the greater of

(a)  the amount determined by the formula

A × [(B − $10,000,000)/$40,000,000]; and

(b)  the amount determined by the formula

A/$500,000 × 5 (C − $50,000).

In the formulas in the first paragraph,

(a)  A is the corporation’s business limit for the taxation year, determined without reference to this section;

(b)  B is

i.  if the corporation is not associated with any other corporation in the taxation year, the corporation’s paid-up capital determined as provided in section 771.2.1.9 of its preceding taxation year or, if the corporation is in its first fiscal period, on the basis of its financial statements prepared at the beginning of the fiscal period in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, and

ii.  if the corporation is associated with one or more other corporations in the taxation year, the aggregate of all amounts each of which is, for the corporation or any of the other corporations, the amount of its paid-up capital determined as provided in section 771.2.1.9 for its last taxation year ending in the preceding calendar year or, if the corporation is in its first fiscal period, on the basis of its financial statements prepared at the beginning of the fiscal period in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles; and

(c)  C is the total of all amounts each of which is the adjusted aggregate investment income of the corporation, or of a corporation with which it is associated at any time in the taxation year, for each taxation year of the corporation, or associated corporation, as the case may be, that ends in the preceding calendar year.

For the purposes of subparagraph c of the second paragraph, a particular corporation and another corporation are deemed to be associated with each other at a particular time if

(a)  the particular corporation transfers or lends a property at any time, either directly or indirectly, by means of a trust or otherwise, to the other corporation;

(b)  the other corporation is, at the particular time, related to the particular corporation but is not associated with it; and

(c)  it may reasonably be considered that one of the reasons the transfer or loan was made was to reduce the amount determined under subparagraph c of the second paragraph in respect of the particular corporation, or of any corporation with which it is associated, for a taxation year.

2005, c. 38, s. 173; 2019, c. 14, s. 248; 2020, c. 16, s. 116; 2023, c. 19, s. 58.

771.2.1.9. For the purposes of section 771.2.1.8, the paid-up capital of a corporation for a taxation year is equal to

(a)  in respect of a financial institution, twice its paid-up capital determined for that year in accordance with Title II of Book III of Part IV;

(b)  in respect of a corporation referred to in paragraph c of section 1132, a mining corporation that has not reached the production stage or a cooperative, its paid-up capital that would be determined for that year in accordance with Title I of Book III of Part IV if no reference were made to section 1138.2.6; and

(c)  in respect of an insurance corporation, other than a corporation referred to in paragraph a or b, twice its paid-up capital that would be determined for that year in accordance with Title II of Book III of Part IV, if the corporation were a bank and if paragraph a of section 1140 were replaced by paragraph a of subsection 1 of section 1136.

2005, c. 38, s. 173; 2009, c. 5, s. 314; 2009, c. 15, s. 151.

771.2.1.10. If in a taxation year a corporation is a member of a particular partnership and the corporation or a corporation with which it is associated in the year is a member of one or more other partnerships in the year and it may reasonably be considered that one of the main reasons for the separate existence of the partnerships is to increase for a corporation the amount of the deduction determined in respect of a Canadian-controlled private corporation under any of paragraphs d.2 to d.4 of subsection 1 of section 771, the specified partnership income of the corporation for the year is, for the purposes of this Title, to be computed in respect of those partnerships as if all amounts each of which is the income of one of the partnerships for a fiscal period that ends in the year from an eligible business carried on by it in Canada were equal to zero except for the greatest of those amounts.

2005, c. 38, s. 173; 2015, c. 21, s. 314; 2017, c. 1, s. 215.

771.2.1.11. For the purposes of this Title, a corporation that is a member, or is deemed under this section to be a member, of a partnership that is itself a member of another partnership is deemed to be a member of that other partnership and the corporation’s share of the income of the other partnership for a fiscal period is deemed to be equal to the amount of such income to which the corporation is directly or indirectly entitled.

2005, c. 38, s. 173.

771.2.1.12. Despite any other provision of this Title, if a corporation is a member of a partnership that was controlled, directly or indirectly in any manner whatever, by one or more persons not resident in Canada, by one or more public corporations other than a prescribed venture capital corporation, or by any combination thereof at any time in its fiscal period ending in a taxation year of the corporation, the income of the partnership for that fiscal period from an eligible business carried on in Canada is, for the purpose of computing the specified partnership income of the corporation for the year, deemed to be equal to zero.

2005, c. 38, s. 173.

771.2.1.13. For the purposes of section 771.2.1.12, a partnership is deemed to be controlled by one or more persons at any time if the share of that person or the aggregate of the shares of those persons of the income of the partnership from a particular source for the fiscal period of the partnership that includes that time exceeds one half of the income of the partnership from that source for that fiscal period.

771.2.1.14. Where a corporation provides services or property to a person or partnership that has a direct or indirect interest in a particular corporation or a direct or indirect interest in a particular partnership and one of the reasons for the provision of the services or property to the person or partnership, instead of to the particular corporation or the particular partnership, is to avoid the application of paragraph a of section 771.2.1.2 (where the portion of that paragraph before subparagraph i refers to the specified partnership income or specified corporate income of the corporation), in respect of its income from the provision of the services or property, no portion of that income may be considered for the purpose of computing the excess amount provided for in that paragraph a.

(a)  the amount is income of the corporation from an eligible business for the year from the provision of services or property to another corporation with which the corporation is associated (in paragraph b referred to as the “associated corporation”); and

(b)  the amount is not deductible by the associated corporation for its taxation year in respect of a particular amount included in computing its income that is referred to in any of paragraphs a to c of section 771.2.1.2.0.1 or that may reasonably be considered as being attributable to or derived from an amount referred to in that paragraph c.

771.2.5.1. For the purposes of section 771.2.1.2, the amount by which a corporation’s income for a taxation year from a qualified business it carries on exceeds its loss for the year from such a business must be computed as if the amounts determined under subparagraphs a and b of the second paragraph of section 737.18.17.5 in respect of the corporation for the year and the amounts determined in respect of a partnership of which it is a member at the end of a fiscal period of the partnership that ends in the year, in accordance with subparagraphs d and e of that paragraph, in relation to a large investment project of the corporation or partnership, as the case may be, within the meaning of the first paragraph of section 737.18.17.1, in respect of which the Minister of Finance issued a certificate for the corporation’s taxation year or the partnership’s fiscal period, were, in the proportion determined in the second paragraph, nil.

The proportion to which the first paragraph refers is determined by the formula

A/B.

In the formula in the second paragraph,

(a)  A is 1, unless the amount that would be deductible in computing the corporation’s taxable income for the year under section 737.18.17.5 if no reference were made to section 737.18.17.6 exceeds the particular amount that is deductible in computing that taxable income under section 737.18.17.5, in which case it is the particular amount; and

(b)  B is 1, unless the particular amount that would be deductible in computing the corporation’s taxable income for the year under section 737.18.17.5 if no reference were made to section 737.18.17.6 exceeds the amount that is deductible in computing that taxable income under section 737.18.17.5, in which case it is the particular amount.

(a)  the portion of the amount contemplated in section 771.3 that is deductible in computing the income of the other corporation for a taxation year from an eligible business carried on by it is deemed to be income of the particular corporation for the particular year from an eligible business carried on by it;

(b)  any outlay or expense, to the extent that that outlay or expense may reasonably be regarded as having been made or incurred by the particular corporation for the purpose of gaining the portion contemplated in paragraph a, is deemed to have been made or incurred for the purpose of gaining the income contemplated in paragraph a.

771.5. Subject to sections 771.6 and 771.7, a corporation is a qualified corporation for a particular taxation year if

(b)  it is not a corporation resulting from an amalgamation or a merger of several corporations;

(c)  the particular year is included, in whole or in part, in the exemption period of the corporation;

(e)  the corporation has not made an election under subparagraph b of the third paragraph of section 737.18.26.

771.5.1.

(a)  in the case of a corporation whose first taxation year begins after 25 March 1997, for its taxation year in which the five-year period following the beginning of its first taxation year ends; and

(b)  in any other case, for its third taxation year.

For the purposes of the first paragraph, the penalty that a corporation is required to pay with respect to the return contemplated therein is equal to the lesser of $600 and the product obtained by multiplying $50 by the number of months included, in whole or in part, in the period beginning on the day on which the time prescribed in paragraph d of section 771.5 expires and ending on the day on which the return is actually filed.

1990, c. 7, s. 70; 1997, c. 3, s. 71.

771.6. A corporation is not a qualified corporation for a taxation year if, at any time in the period extending from the day of its incorporation to the end of the year, the corporation

Similarly, a corporation is not a qualified corporation for a taxation year if, for that year or a preceding taxation year,

(a)  all of its activities in the year do not consist entirely or almost entirely in carrying on an eligible business; or

(b)  its paid-up capital determined for the taxation year preceding the year or, where the corporation’s year is its first fiscal period, on the basis of its financial statements prepared at the beginning of the fiscal period in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, exceeds $15,000,000.

For the purposes of subparagraph b of the second paragraph, the paid-up capital of a corporation is

(a)  in respect of a financial institution, a corporation referred to in paragraph c of section 1132 or a mining corporation that has not reached the production stage, its paid-up capital that would be determined in accordance with Book III of Part IV if no reference were made to sections 1138.0.1, 1138.2.6 and 1141.3;

(b)  in respect of an insurance corporation, other than a corporation referred to in subparagraph a, its paid-up capital that would be determined in accordance with Title II of Book III of Part IV, if the corporation were a bank, if paragraph a of section 1140 were replaced by paragraph a of subsection 1 of section 1136 and if no reference were made to section 1141.3; and

(c)  in respect of a cooperative, its paid-up capital that would be determined in accordance with Title I of Book III of Part IV if no reference were made to sections 1138.0.1 and 1138.2.6.

771.7. Where the business carried on in a taxation year by a corporation may reasonably be considered in fact to consist mainly in the continuance of one or several businesses or of a part of one or several businesses previously carried on by one or several other persons or partnerships and where, but for this section, the corporation would be a qualified corporation for that year or a subsequent taxation year, the corporation is deemed, if the Minister so decides, not to be a qualified corporation for those years.

(a)  $200,000;

(b)  the amount by which the taxable income of the corporation for the year exceeds the aggregate of the amount determined in respect of the corporation for the year under section 771.0.2.2 and the amount, if any, of the corporation’s taxable income for the year that is not, because of an Act of the Legislature of Québec, subject to tax under this Part; and

ii.  100%, in any other case; and

(c)  C is the lesser of

i.  the amount by which its income for the year from an eligible business carried on by it in Canada exceeds its loss for the year from such a business, and

ii.  the amount by which the taxable income of the corporation for the year exceeds the aggregate of the amount determined in respect of the corporation for the year under section 771.0.2.2 and the portion of that income that is not, because of an Act of the Legislature of Québec, subject to tax under this Part.

The condition set out in subparagraph 2 of subparagraph i of subparagraph b of the second paragraph is deemed not to be met if the acquisition of control

(a)  occurs before 1 July 2004 and Investissement Québec certifies that it results from a transaction that was sufficiently advanced on 11 June 2003 and was binding on the parties on that date;

(b)  is by an exempt corporation, by a person or group of persons that controls an exempt corporation, or by a group of persons each member of which is an exempt corporation or a person who, alone or together with other members of the group, controls such a corporation;

771.8.5.1. The amount that must be determined, for the purposes of paragraph j.1 of subsection 1 of section 771, in respect of a corporation for a taxation year under this section is the amount determined by the formula

A × B.

In the formula in the first paragraph,

(a)  A is

i.  if the corporation’s taxation year includes the last day of its tax-free period, the proportion that the number of days in the year that are included in the corporation’s tax-free period is of the number of days in the year, and

ii.  in any other case, 1; and

(b)  B is the lesser of

i.  the amount by which the corporation’s income for the year from an eligible business that is an eligible commercialization business exceeds its loss for the year from such a business, and

ii.  the amount by which the corporation’s taxable income for the year exceeds the aggregate of the amount determined in respect of the corporation for the year under section 771.0.2.2 and the portion of that income that is not subject to tax under this Part because of an Act of Québec.

771.11. Where the tax payable by a corporation for a particular taxation year is determined under any of paragraphs e to g of subsection 1 of section 771, as that paragraph read for that year, the corporation is deemed, for the purposes of the application of section 734 to any subsequent taxation year, to have deducted under Title VII of Book IV, in computing its taxable income for the particular year, the amount that may be deducted in respect of any loss sustained for a taxation year ending before 26 March 1997 which, except where the corporation was a savings and credit union throughout the particular year, is not a net capital loss under the said Title in such computation for the particular year and which the corporation has not otherwise deducted in such computation for the particular year.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, the amount contemplated in the first paragraph for the particular taxation year in respect of a particular loss of the corporation shall not be greater than such portion of the excess amount described in subparagraph i of paragraph e, f or g, as the case may be, of subsection 1 of section 771, as that paragraph read for that year, in respect of the corporation for the particular year as exceeds the aggregate of all amounts it is deemed to have deducted under this section in such computation for the particular year in respect of any loss sustained by it in a taxation year preceding the taxation year in which the particular loss was sustained.

Any reference in this chapter to the government of a foreign country or a country other than Canada includes a reference to the government of a political subdivision of such a country.

776.1.11. Subject to sections 1010 to 1011 and for the purposes of this Title, when the Minister of Finance replaces or revokes a qualification certificate or an annual qualification certificate issued by the Minister of Finance to a corporation in respect of an individual for the purposes of this Title, the following rules apply:

(a)  a qualification certificate or annual qualification certificate that is replaced is null from the time it was issued and the new qualification certificate or annual qualification certificate is deemed to have been issued at that time; and

776.1.12. If, at any time, control of a corporation is acquired by a person or group of persons, no amount may be deducted by the corporation under section 776.1.9 for a taxation year ending after that time in respect of the unused portion of the tax credit of the corporation for a taxation year ending before that time.

However, the corporation may deduct an amount under section 776.1.9 for a particular taxation year ending after the time referred to in the first paragraph, in respect of the portion that may reasonably be considered to be attributable to the carrying on of a business, of the unused portion of the tax credit of the corporation for a taxation year ending before that time, if the corporation carried on the business throughout the particular taxation year for profit or with a reasonable expectation of profit.

The amount that the corporation may deduct under section 776.1.9 for the particular taxation year in respect of the portion described in the second paragraph is to be determined as if the reference in the first paragraph of that section to the tax payable under this Part for a taxation year, determined before the application of this Title, were a reference to the portion of the tax payable under this Part by the corporation for the particular taxation year, determined before the application of this Title, that may reasonably be attributed to the carrying on of the business referred to in the second paragraph and, if the corporation sold, leased, rented or developed properties or rendered services in the course of carrying on that business before the time referred to in the first paragraph, of any other business substantially all the income of which is derived from the sale, leasing, rental or development, as the case may be, of similar properties, or the rendering of similar services.

2007, c. 12, s. 92.

776.1.13. If, at any time, control of a corporation is acquired by a person or group of persons, no amount may be deducted by the corporation under section 776.1.9 for a taxation year ending before that time in respect of the unused portion of the tax credit of the corporation for a taxation year ending after that time.

However, the corporation may deduct an amount under section 776.1.9 for a particular taxation year ending before the time referred to in the first paragraph, in respect of the portion that may reasonably be considered to be attributable to the carrying on of a business, of the unused portion of the tax credit of the corporation for a taxation year ending after that time, if the corporation carried on the business throughout that taxation year and in the particular taxation year for profit or with a reasonable expectation of profit.

The amount that the corporation may deduct under section 776.1.9 for the particular taxation year in respect of the portion described in the second paragraph is to be determined as if the reference in the second paragraph of that section to the tax payable under this Part for a taxation year, determined before the application of the second paragraph of that section, were a reference to the portion of the tax payable under this Part by the corporation for the particular taxation year, determined before the application of the second paragraph of that section, that may reasonably be attributed to the carrying on of the business referred to in the second paragraph and, if the corporation sold, leased, rented or developed properties or rendered services in the course of carrying on that business before the time referred to in the first paragraph, of any other business substantially all the income of which is derived from the sale, leasing, rental or development, as the case may be, of similar properties, or the rendering of similar services.

The amount to which the first paragraph refers is the amount by which the maximum amount that the corporation could have deducted under section 776.1.8 for the particular preceding taxation year if it had had sufficient tax payable under this Part for that taxation year is exceeded by the aggregate of

(a)  the maximum amount that the corporation could have deducted under that section for the particular preceding taxation year if it had had sufficient tax payable under this Part for that taxation year and if, for the purposes of paragraph b of the definition of “qualified wages” in the first paragraph of section 776.1.7,

For the purpose of computing the amount that a corporation may deduct under section 776.1.29 for a particular taxation year in respect of the unused portion of the tax credit of the corporation for a particular preceding taxation year, that unused portion of the tax credit of the corporation, otherwise determined, is to be increased by the amount determined under the second paragraph if, in the particular taxation year or a preceding taxation year, an amount relating to wages included in computing the qualified wages paid by the corporation to an individual for the particular preceding taxation year, described in subparagraph i or ii of paragraph b of the definition of “qualified wages” in section 776.1.27 or in subparagraph a or b of the first paragraph of section 776.1.31, is, pursuant to a legal obligation,

(a)  paid by the corporation, and may reasonably be considered as the repayment of an amount attributable to the qualified wages that is referred to in that subparagraph i or that subparagraph a; or

(b)  paid by a person or a partnership, and may reasonably be considered as the repayment of an amount attributable to the qualified wages that is referred to in that subparagraph ii or in subparagraph b of the first paragraph of section 776.1.31.

The amount to which the first paragraph refers is the amount by which the maximum amount that the corporation could have deducted under section 776.1.28 for the particular preceding taxation year if it had had sufficient tax payable under this Part for that taxation year is exceeded by the aggregate of

(a)  the maximum amount that the corporation could have deducted under that section for the particular preceding taxation year if it had had sufficient tax payable under this Part for that taxation year and if, for the purposes of paragraph b of the definition of “qualified wages” in section 776.1.27,

i.  any amount referred to in the first paragraph in relation to wages included in computing the qualified wages paid by the corporation to an individual for the particular preceding taxation year that is paid at or before the end of the particular taxation year had been paid in the particular preceding taxation year, and

ii.  any amount referred to in the first paragraph of section 776.1.31 in relation to wages included in computing the qualified wages paid by the corporation to an individual for the particular preceding taxation year that is received or obtained at or before the end of the particular taxation year, had been received or obtained in the particular preceding taxation year; and

(b)  any portion—that may reasonably be considered as relating to wages included in computing the qualified wages paid by the corporation to an individual for the particular preceding taxation year—of the aggregate of all amounts each of which is a tax that the corporation is required to pay to the Minister under section 1129.27.24 for a taxation year preceding the particular taxation year.

For the purpose of computing the amount that the corporation may deduct under section 776.1.29 for the particular taxation year in respect of the unused portion of the tax credit of the corporation for a taxation year other than the particular preceding taxation year, the corporation shall also take into account the amount by which the unused portion of the tax credit of the corporation for the particular preceding taxation year is to be increased under the first paragraph.

2017, c. 1, s. 234.

776.1.33. For the purposes of section 776.1.32, an amount attributable to qualified wages paid by a corporation to an individual for a preceding taxation year, described in subparagraph i or ii of paragraph b of the definition of “qualified wages” in section 776.1.27, is deemed to be repaid by a corporation, person or partnership, as the case may be, in a particular taxation year, pursuant to a legal obligation, if that amount

(a)  is described in that subparagraph i or ii in relation to those qualified wages;

(b)  in the case of an amount described in that subparagraph i, was not received by the corporation;

(c)  in the case of an amount described in that subparagraph ii, was not obtained by the person or partnership; and

(d)  ceased, in the particular taxation year, to be an amount that the corporation, person or partnership may reasonably expect to receive or obtain.

2017, c. 1, s. 234.

776.1.34. For the purposes of this Part, an amount deducted by a corporation under this Title in computing its tax payable under this Part for a preceding taxation year in respect of an expenditure made in a taxation year preceding a particular taxation year is to be considered as received by the corporation in the particular taxation year, to the extent that the amount is not considered, under this section, as received by the corporation in a taxation year preceding the particular taxation year.

2017, c. 1, s. 234.

776.1.35. A corporation may deduct an amount under section 776.1.28 in computing its tax payable for a taxation year only if it files with the Minister the prescribed form containing prescribed information and a copy of each certificate it is required to file for the year in accordance with that section, on or before the day that is 12 months after the corporation’s filing-due date for the year or, if it is later, the day that is three months after the date of issue of the certificate relating to the year.

Despite sections 1010 to 1011, the Minister shall redetermine the tax, interest and penalties payable by a corporation under this Part for a taxation year and make a reassessment for the year to give effect to the first paragraph to the extent that the reassessment may reasonably be considered to relate to an amount that is claimed as a deduction under section 776.1.28 for the year and in respect of which a certificate, referred to in the first paragraph and relating to the year, has been filed with the Minister after the day that is 12 months after the corporation’s filing-due date for the year and on or before the day that is three months after the date of its issue.

In addition, an unused portion of the tax credit may be deducted for a taxation year under section 776.1.39 only to the extent that it exceeds the aggregate of the amounts deducted in its respect for the preceding taxation years under that section.

2021, c. 18, s. 67.

776.1.41. For the purpose of computing the amount that a corporation may deduct under section 776.1.39 for a particular taxation year described in the second paragraph and a subsequent taxation year, in respect of the unused portion of the tax credit of the corporation for a taxation year preceding the particular taxation year, the unused portion of the tax credit of the corporation, otherwise determined, is to be reduced by the amount determined under the third paragraph where, in relation to an eligible investment that the corporation made in another corporation in the particular preceding year,

(a)  the corporation and the other corporation are associated with each other in the particular year; or

(b)  in the particular year, the corporation disposed of or exchanged a share of the capital stock of the other corporation acquired in connection with the eligible investment, otherwise than by reason of the corporation’s or the other corporation’s bankruptcy or insolvency, the unilateral redemption of the share by the other corporation, or the redemption of the share by the other corporation at the corporation’s request where the law confers on it the right to demand that all its shares be redeemed.

The particular taxation year to which the first paragraph refers is

(a)  in the case provided for in subparagraph a of the first paragraph, a taxation year that begins in the 48-month period following the end of the taxation year in which a share was acquired in connection with the eligible investment; or

(b)  in the case provided for in subparagraph b of the first paragraph, the taxation year that includes the day on which the corporation disposed of or exchanged the share, provided that day occurs in the 60-month period that begins on the day on which the share is issued.

The amount to which the first paragraph refers is the amount by which the maximum amount that the corporation could have deducted under section 776.1.38 for the particular preceding taxation year if it had had sufficient tax payable under this Part for that taxation year exceeds

(a)  in the case provided for in subparagraph a of the first paragraph, the aggregate of

i.  the maximum amount that the corporation could have deducted under section 776.1.38 for the particular preceding taxation year if it had had sufficient tax payable under this Part for that taxation year and if no reference were made to any particular eligible investment of the corporation in a corporation with which it becomes associated, under circumstances described in the first paragraph, at any time in the particular year, and

ii.  any portion—that may reasonably be considered as relating to a particular eligible investment—of the aggregate of all amounts each of which is a tax that the corporation would be required to pay for the particular taxation year, or would have been required to pay for a preceding taxation year, if the amount determined under subparagraph b of the second paragraph of sections 1129.27.28 and 1129.27.29 were nil; or

(b)  in the case provided for in subparagraph b of the first paragraph, the aggregate of

i.  the maximum amount that the corporation could have deducted under section 776.1.38 for the particular preceding taxation year if it had had sufficient tax payable under this Part for that taxation year and if, for the purposes of the definition of “eligible investment” in the first paragraph of section 776.1.36 for the preceding taxation year, no reference were made to any amount paid for the acquisition of a share referred to in that subparagraph b of the capital stock of another corporation, unless section 1129.27.29 applies to the corporation for the particular taxation year or applied to the corporation for a taxation year preceding the particular year, and

ii.  any portion—that may reasonably be considered as relating to an eligible investment for the particular preceding taxation year—of the aggregate of all amounts each of which is a tax that the corporation would be required to pay for the particular taxation year, or would have been required to pay for a preceding taxation year, if the amount determined under subparagraph b of the second paragraph of section 1129.27.28 were nil.

For the purpose of computing the amount that the corporation may deduct under section 776.1.39 for the particular taxation year in respect of the unused portion of the tax credit of the corporation for a taxation year other than the particular preceding taxation year, the corporation is deemed to have deducted under that section for the taxation years preceding the particular taxation year in respect of the unused portions of the tax credit of the corporation for the taxation years other than the particular preceding taxation year that are deductible for the particular taxation year, in addition to any other amount deducted or deemed to be deducted, an amount equal to the amount by which the amount determined under subparagraph a or b of the third paragraph, as the case may be, exceeds the amount by which the unused portion of the tax credit of the corporation for the particular preceding taxation year, determined before the application of this section, exceeds the aggregate of the amounts deducted by the corporation under section 776.1.39 for the taxation years preceding the particular taxation year in respect of the unused portion of the tax credit.

(a)  its cost as otherwise determined to the person contemplated therein exceeds

(b)  the designated amount contemplated therein in respect of the share.

1985, c. 25, s. 134; 1997, c. 3, s. 71; 2017, c. 29, s. 161.

776.20. Where the amount determined under paragraph b of section 776.18 or 776.19, as the case may be, exceeds the amount determined under paragraph a of the said section 776.18 or 776.19, as the case may be, the excess

(a)  where the qualifying security or share, as the case may be, contemplated in section 776.18 or 776.19 respectively is a capital property to the person contemplated in the said section 776.18 or 776.19, as the case may be, is deemed to be a capital gain of the person for the year in which the qualifying security or share, as the case may be, is acquired, from the disposition of that property; and,

(b)  where paragraph a does not apply, shall be included in computing the income of the person for the year of the acquisition.

The cost to that person of the qualifying security or share, as the case may be, is in that case deemed to be nil.

TITLE IX TRANSFER TO SPOUSE OF UNUSED PORTION OF NON-REFUNDABLE TAX CREDITS

2003, c. 9, s. 111.

776.41.1. In this Title, the eligible spouse of an individual for a taxation year means

(a)  where the taxation year is not the taxation year referred to in paragraph b,

i.  the person who is the spouse of the individual at the end of 31 December of the year and who, at that time, is not living separate and apart from the individual, or

ii.  where the individual does not have a spouse at the end of 31 December of the year, the last person who, during the year, has been the spouse of the individual, if that person died in the year and if, at the time of death, that person was the spouse of the individual and was not living separate and apart from the individual; and

(b)  where the taxation year is the taxation year in which the individual dies,

i.  the person who, at the time of the individuals’ death, was the spouse of the individual and who, at that time, was not living separate and apart from the individual, except if that person was the spouse of another individual at the end of 31 December of the year or, if the person died in the year, at the time of the person’s death, or

ii.  where the individual did not have a spouse at the time of the individual’s death, the last person who, during the year, had been the spouse of the individual, if that person died in the year and if, at the time of death, the person was the spouse of the individual and was not living separate and apart from the individual.

2003, c. 9, s. 111.

776.41.2. For the purposes of section 776.41.1, a person shall not be considered to be living separate and apart from an individual at any time in a taxation year unless the person was living separate and apart from the individual at that time, because of a breakdown of their marriage, for a period of at least 90 days that includes that time.

2003, c. 9, s. 111.

776.41.3. For the purposes of section 776.41.1, where an individual would, but for this section, have more than one eligible spouse for a taxation year, the individual is deemed to have only one eligible spouse for the year and to be the eligible spouse for the year of that person only.

For the purposes of section 776.41.1, where a person would, but for this section, be the eligible spouse of more than one individual for a taxation year, the Minister may designate which of the individuals is deemed to have that person as sole eligible spouse for the year and that person is deemed to be the eligible spouse for the year solely of the individual so designated by the Minister.

2003, c. 9, s. 111.

776.41.4. For the purposes of sections 776.41.1 to 776.41.3, “taxation year” has the meaning that would be assigned by this Part if it were read without reference to section 779.

2003, c. 9, s. 111.

776.41.5. Subject to the fourth paragraph and sections 776.41.6 to 776.41.10, an individual who has an eligible spouse for a taxation year may deduct from the individual’s tax otherwise payable for the year under this Part, computed without reference to section 752.12, the amount determined by the formula

A - B.

In the formula provided for in the first paragraph,

(a)  A is the aggregate of all amounts each of which is an amount that the individual’s eligible spouse for the taxation year may deduct under this Book in computing the eligible spouse’s tax otherwise payable for the year under this Part, other than an amount deductible under any of sections 752.0.10.0.3, 752.0.10.0.9, 752.0.10.6.1, 752.12, 776.1.5.0.17 and 776.1.5.0.18; and

(b)  B is the tax otherwise payable of the individual’s eligible spouse for the taxation year, computed without reference to the deductions provided for in this Book, except those provided for in sections 752.0.10.0.3, 752.0.10.0.9, 752.0.10.6.1, 752.12, 776.1.5.0.17 and 776.1.5.0.18.

For the purposes of subparagraph a of the second paragraph, the following rules apply:

(a)  an individual whose eligible spouse for a taxation year transfers for the year an amount to another individual in accordance with the first paragraph of section 776.41.14 shall reduce the aggregate described in subparagraph a of the second paragraph by the total of all amounts each of which is an amount that the eligible spouse so transfers for the year to another individual; and

(b)  if the eligible spouse of an individual for a taxation year may deduct, for the year, an amount under any of sections 752.0.10.6, 752.0.10.6.2, 752.0.11, 752.0.18.10, 752.0.18.15, 772.8, 776.1.1 and 776.1.2 (in this subparagraph referred to as the “deductible amount”), the individual may, in respect of the deductible amount, include in the aggregate described in subparagraph a of the second paragraph only the portion of the deductible amount claimed as a deduction by the eligible spouse in the fiscal return the eligible spouse files for the year.

An individual may deduct an amount under this section in computing the individual’s tax otherwise payable under this Part for a taxation year only if the individual and the individual’s eligible spouse for the year file a fiscal return for the year under this Part.

2003, c. 9, s. 111; 2005, c. 1, s. 187; 2006, c. 36, s. 84; 2009, c. 5, s. 327; 2009, c. 15, s. 155; 2010, c. 25, s. 85; 2011, c. 34, s. 40; 2013, c. 10, s. 64; 2015, c. 21, s. 319; 2019, c. 14, s. 267.

776.41.6. Where an individual is referred to in the second paragraph of section 22 or 25, the amount that may be deducted by the individual under section 776.41.5 in computing the individual’s tax otherwise payable for a taxation year under this Part shall not exceed the portion of the amount that is the proportion referred to in the second paragraph of section 22 or 25, as the case may be.

2003, c. 9, s. 111.

776.41.7. Where an individual is resident in Canada only during part of a taxation year, the following rules apply for the purpose of determining the amount that may be deducted by the individual under section 776.41.5 in computing the individual’s tax otherwise payable for the year under this Part:

(a)  in respect of any period in the year throughout which the individual was resident in Canada, the amount deductible under section 776.41.5 must be computed as though that period were a whole taxation year and the amount that would have been deductible under section 776.41.5, if the individual had been resident in Canada throughout the year, were replaced by an amount equal to the proportion of the amount that the number of days in that period is of the number of days in the year; and

(b)  in respect of a period in the year that is not referred to in subparagraph a, the amount deductible under section 776.41.5 must be computed as though that period were a whole taxation year.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, the amount deductible by the individual for the year under section 776.41.5, as a consequence of the application of the rules set out in the first paragraph, shall not exceed the amount that would have been otherwise deductible, under section 776.41.5, if the individual had been resident in Canada throughout the year.

2003, c. 9, s. 111.

776.41.8. Where an individual is referred to in the second paragraph of section 26, section 776.41.5 does not apply for the purpose of computing the individual’s tax otherwise payable for a taxation year under this Part.

However, where all or substantially all of the individual’s income for the year, as determined under section 28, is included in computing the individual’s taxable income earned in Canada for the year, determined with reference to the third paragraph, the individual may deduct, in computing the individual’s tax otherwise payable for the year under this Part, such portion of the amount, as determined under section 776.41.5, that is the proportion referred to in the second paragraph of section 26.

For the purposes of the second paragraph, the taxable income earned in Canada by an individual for a taxation year is determined as if section 1090 were read for the year without reference to its second, third and fourth paragraphs and as if subparagraph a of the first paragraph of that section were replaced, for the year, by the following subparagraph:

“(a) the aggregate of the income from the duties of offices or employments performed by the individual in Canada and the income from the duties of offices or employments performed by the individual outside Canada if the individual was resident in Canada at the time the individual performed the duties;”.

2003, c. 9, s. 111; 2015, c. 36, s. 54.

776.41.9. Where an individual dies in a taxation year, the amount determined in respect of the individual for the year under section 776.41.5 may be deducted only in computing the individual’s tax payable as indicated in the fiscal return the individual is required to file for the year under this Part, otherwise than as the result of an election made by the individual’s legal representative in accordance with the second paragraph of section 429 or section 681 or 1003.

Where the eligible spouse of an individual for a taxation year dies in the year, the individual may deduct, in computing the individual’s tax payable for the year under section 776.41.5, only the amount determined by the formula provided for in the first paragraph of that section on the basis of the amounts indicated in the fiscal return of the individual’s eligible spouse for the year filed under this Part, otherwise than as the result of an election made by the individual’s legal representative in accordance with the second paragraph of section 429 or section 681 or 1003.

2003, c. 9, s. 111.

776.41.10. Where an individual has become a bankrupt during a calendar year, the individual may, for that year, deduct an amount under section 776.41.5 only in computing the individual’s tax payable as indicated in the fiscal return the individual is required to file under this Part for the taxation year that is deemed, under section 779, to commence on the date of the bankruptcy.

Where the eligible spouse of an individual for a taxation year has become a bankrupt during a calendar year, the amount that the individual may deduct for the taxation year under section 776.41.5 in computing the individual’s tax payable is equal to the aggregate of all amounts each of which is the amount determined under the first paragraph of section 776.41.5 for each of the taxation years of the eligible spouse that is included in the calendar year.

2003, c. 9, s. 111.

776.41.11. Where an individual deducts an amount under section 776.41.5 in computing tax payable under this Part for a taxation year, and where a portion of that amount is reasonably attributable to a deduction to which the eligible spouse of the individual for the year is entitled for the year under a particular provision referred to in the second paragraph, the portion of that amount is deemed to be deducted under the particular provision by the eligible spouse in computing tax payable under this Part for the year for the purpose of determining the amount that the eligible spouse will be entitled to deduct, under the particular provision or another particular provision, in computing the tax payable under this Part for another taxation year.

The provisions to which the first paragraph refers are sections 752.0.10.6, 752.0.10.6.2, 752.0.11, 752.0.18.10, 752.0.18.15, 772.8, 776.1.1 and 776.1.2.

For the purpose of determining the portion of the amount that an individual may deduct under section 776.41.5 in computing tax payable under this Part for a taxation year that is reasonably attributable to a deduction to which the eligible spouse of the individual for the year is entitled for the year under a particular provision referred to in the second paragraph, the provisions referred to in that paragraph shall be applied in the order provided for in that paragraph.

2003, c. 9, s. 111; 2015, c. 21, s. 320.

TITLE X TRANSFER OF THE UNUSED PORTION OF A STUDENT’S BASIC PERSONAL TAX CREDIT

2009, c. 5, s. 328.

776.41.12. In this Title,

“designated educational institution” means an educational institution that the Minister of Education, Recreation and Sports or the Minister of Higher Education, Research, Science and Technology designates for the purposes of the loans and bursaries program for full-time studies in vocational training at the secondary level and for full-time studies at the postsecondary level established under the Act respecting financial assistance for education expenses (chapter A-13.3);

“eligible student” for a taxation year means, subject to the second paragraph, a person who is 18 years of age or over during the year and who began, in the year, a recognized term of study at a designated educational institution where the person was enrolled in a recognized educational program;

“recognized educational program” means an educational program that provides that each student taking the program spend not less than 9 hours per week on courses or work in the program and that is,

(a)  if the educational institution is situated in Québec, an educational program recognized by the Minister of Education, Recreation and Sports or the Minister of Higher Education, Research, Science and Technology for the purposes of the loans and bursaries program for full-time studies in vocational training at the secondary level and for full-time studies at the postsecondary level established under the Act respecting financial assistance for education expenses; and

(b)  if the educational institution is situated outside Québec, an educational program at the college level or at the university level or the equivalent;

“recognized term of study” means a term that is completed and during which a person was in full-time attendance at a designated educational institution.

However, a person is an eligible student only if the person’s enrolment in a recognized educational program at a designated educational institution is proven by filing with the Minister a declaration in the prescribed form issued by the designated educational institution and containing prescribed information.

2009, c. 5, s. 328; 2013, c. 28, s. 139.

776.41.13. For the purposes of this Title, if a person has a major functional deficiency within the meaning of the Regulation respecting financial assistance for education expenses (chapter A-13.3, r. 1), and the person, for that reason, pursues studies on a part-time basis during a taxation year, the following rules apply:

(a)  the person is deemed to be pursuing studies on a full-time basis during the year; and

(b)  the definition of “recognized educational program” in the first paragraph of section 776.41.12 is to be read as if “spend not less than 9 hours per week on courses or work in the program” was replaced by “receive a minimum of 20 hours of instruction per month”.

2009, c. 5, s. 328.

776.41.14. An individual who is the father or mother of an eligible student for a taxation year may deduct from the individual’s tax otherwise payable for the year under this Part the amount that the eligible student transfers to the individual for the year, for the purposes of this Title, by means of the prescribed form containing prescribed information and that may not exceed the amount determined by the formula

A - B - C.

In the formula in the first paragraph,

(a)  A is the amount obtained by multiplying the percentage determined under section 750.1 for the year by

i.  $12,638, if the eligible student began in the year at least two recognized terms of study, or

ii.  the amount by which $12,638 exceeds $3,537, if the eligible student began in the year only one recognized term of study;

(b)  B is the total of

i.  the amount obtained by multiplying the percentage determined under section 750.1 for the year by the aggregate of all amounts each of which is an amount determined for the year under any of sections 752.0.0.4 to 752.0.0.6 in respect of the eligible student, or

ii.  the aggregate of all amounts each of which has been paid, in the year, to the eligible student in respect of an amount deemed under section 1029.8.116.16 to be an overpayment of the eligible student’s tax payable or of another individual’s tax payable; and

(c)  C is the eligible student’s tax otherwise payable for the year under this Part, computed without reference to the deductions under this Book.

For the purpose of determining, for a taxation year, the amount that an eligible student who reaches 18 years of age in the year may transfer to an individual for the purposes of the first paragraph, subparagraph a of the second paragraph is to be read as follows:

“(a) A is the amount obtained by multiplying the percentage determined under section 750.1 for the year by the total of

i.  $3,537 in respect of each recognized term of study, without exceeding two, that the eligible student began in the year, and

ii.  the proportion that the number of months in the year following the month in which the eligible student reaches 18 years of age is of 12, multiplied by the amount by which $12,638 exceeds the amount obtained by multiplying $3,537 by 2;”

An individual may deduct an amount under this section in computing the individual’s tax otherwise payable under this Part for a taxation year only if

(a)  the individual files a fiscal return for the year under this Part; and

(b)  the eligible student of whom the individual is the father or mother files a fiscal return for the year under this Part, together with the prescribed form.

2009, c. 5, s. 328; 2010, c. 25, s. 86; 2011, c. 6, s. 169; 2015, c. 36, s. 55; 2017, c. 29, s. 162; 2023, c. 19, s. 59.

776.41.15. If, for a taxation year, more than one individual is entitled to deduct an amount under section 776.41.14 in respect of the same eligible student, the aggregate of the amounts that the individuals may so deduct may not exceed the limit that is the amount that one of those individuals could deduct for the year under section 776.41.14 in respect of the student, if the individual were the only individual to whom the eligible student could transfer an amount for the year in accordance with the first paragraph of that section.

If the aggregate of the amounts that the individuals could, but for this section, deduct for the year under section 776.41.14 in respect of the eligible student exceeds the limit provided for in the first paragraph, the Minister may determine the amount that each of the individuals may deduct for the year in respect of the student under that section and the amount so determined is deemed to be the amount that the eligible student transferred for the year to the individual in accordance with the first paragraph of that section.

2009, c. 5, s. 328.

776.41.16. The amount that an individual referred to in the second paragraph of section 22 or 25 may deduct, under section 776.41.14, from the individual’s tax otherwise payable for a taxation year under this Part may not exceed the portion of that amount that is the proportion referred to in the second paragraph of section 22 or 25.

2009, c. 5, s. 328.

776.41.17. The following rules apply for the purpose of determining the amount that an individual who was resident in Canada for only part of a taxation year may deduct, under section 776.41.14, from the individual’s tax otherwise payable for the year under this Part in relation to an eligible student:

(a)  in respect of any period in the year throughout which the individual was resident in Canada, the amount deductible under section 776.41.14 in relation to the student is to be established as if the period was a whole taxation year and the amount that the student transfers to the individual for the purposes of the first paragraph of section 776.41.14 was replaced by the proportion of that amount that the number of days in the period is of the number of days in the year; and

(b)  in respect of a period in the year that is not referred to in subparagraph a, the amount deductible under section 776.41.14 in relation to the student is to be established as if the period was a whole taxation year.

However, the amount that the individual may deduct for the year under section 776.41.14 in respect of the eligible student, as a consequence of the application of the rules of the first paragraph, must not exceed the amount that would otherwise have been deductible in respect of the student, under that section, if the individual had been resident in Canada throughout the year.

2009, c. 5, s. 328.

776.41.18. Section 776.41.14 does not apply for the purpose of computing the tax otherwise payable of an individual referred to in the second paragraph of section 26 for a taxation year under this Part.

However, an individual all or substantially all of whose income for the year, determined under section 28, is included in computing the individual’s taxable income earned in Canada for the year, determined with reference to the third paragraph, may deduct, from the individual’s tax otherwise payable for the year under this Part, the portion of the amount, determined under section 776.41.14, that is the proportion referred to in the second paragraph of section 26.

For the purposes of the second paragraph, the taxable income earned in Canada by an individual for a taxation year is determined as if section 1090 were read for the year without reference to its second, third and fourth paragraphs and as if subparagraph a of the first paragraph of that section were replaced, for the year, by the following subparagraph:

“(a) the aggregate of the income from the duties of offices or employments performed by the individual in Canada and the income from the duties of offices or employments performed by the individual outside Canada if the individual was resident in Canada at the time the individual performed the duties;”.

2009, c. 5, s. 328; 2015, c. 36, s. 56.

776.41.19. The amount that an individual who became a bankrupt in a calendar year may deduct, under section 776.41.14, from the individual’s tax otherwise payable under this Part for each of the individual’s taxation years referred to in section 779 that end in the calendar year is equal to the portion of that amount, otherwise determined, that is the proportion that the number of days in that taxation year is of the number of days in the calendar year.

2009, c. 5, s. 328.

776.41.20. An individual who dies in a taxation year may deduct an amount for the year under section 776.41.14 only in computing the individual’s tax payable as specified in the individual’s fiscal return that is required to be filed for the year under this Part, otherwise than because of an election made by the individual’s legal representative in accordance with the second paragraph of section 429 or section 681 or 1003.

An individual may deduct for a taxation year under section 776.41.14 in respect of an eligible student who dies in the year only the amount that is transferred to the individual by means of the prescribed form that is enclosed with the eligible student’s fiscal return that is required to be filed for the year under this Part, otherwise than because of an election made by the eligible student’s legal representative in accordance with the second paragraph of section 429 or section 681 or 1003.

TITLE XI TRANSFER OF THE UNUSED PORTION OF THE TAX CREDIT FOR TUITION FEES AND EXAMINATION FEES

2009, c. 5, s. 328.

776.41.21. An individual who is the father, mother, grandfather or grandmother of a person may deduct, from the individual’s tax otherwise payable for a taxation year under this Part, the amount that the person transfers to the individual for the year, for the purposes of this Title, by means of the prescribed form containing prescribed information and that may not exceed the amount determined by the formula

A - B.

In the formula in the first paragraph,

(a)  A is

i.  for a taxation year subsequent to the taxation year 2013, the amount obtained by multiplying 8% by the amount by which the amount deemed to have been paid by the individual under subsection 1 of section 122.91 of the Income Tax Act (R.S.C. 1985, c. 1 (5th Suppl.)) for the year is exceeded by the aggregate of all amounts each of which is either the amount of the person’s tuition fees that are paid in respect of the year and referred to in subparagraph i of paragraph a of section 752.0.18.10 or the amount of the person’s examination fees that are paid in respect of the year and referred to in any of subparagraphs ii to iv of that paragraph a, or

ii.  for the taxation year 2013, the aggregate of

(1)  the amount obtained by multiplying 8% by the aggregate of all amounts each of which is either the amount of the person’s tuition fees that are referred to in subparagraph v or vi of paragraph a of section 752.0.18.10 or the amount of the person’s examination fees that are referred to in subparagraph vii of that paragraph a, and

(2)  the amount obtained by multiplying 20% by the aggregate of all amounts each of which is either the amount of the person’s tuition fees that are referred to in subparagraph v or vi of paragraph b of section 752.0.18.10 or the amount of the person’s examination fees that are referred to in subparagraph vii of that paragraph b; and

(b)  B is the person’s tax otherwise payable for the year under this Part, computed by taking into account only the amounts that the person may deduct under sections 752.0.0.1, 752.0.1, 752.0.7.4, 752.0.10.0.3, 752.0.10.0.5, 752.0.10.0.7, 752.0.10.0.9, 752.0.10.6 to 752.0.10.6.2, 752.0.11, 752.0.13.1, 752.0.13.1.1, 752.0.14, 752.0.18.3, 752.0.18.8, 776.1.5.0.17, 776.1.5.0.18 and 776.41.14.

For the purposes of subparagraph b of the second paragraph, the amount that a person may, if applicable, deduct, for a taxation year, under any of sections 752.0.10.6 to 752.0.10.6.2 and 752.0.11 is deemed to be equal to the portion of that amount that the person claims as a deduction in the person’s fiscal return that the person files for the year under this Part.

A person may transfer an amount for a taxation year, in accordance with the first paragraph, to no more than one individual, provided the aggregate of the amounts described in subparagraph a of the second paragraph in respect of the person exceeds $100.

An individual may deduct an amount under this section in computing the individual’s tax otherwise payable under this Part for a taxation year only if

(a)  the individual files a fiscal return for the year under this Part; and

(b)  the person of whom the individual is the father, mother, grandfather or grandmother files a fiscal return for the year under this Part, together with the prescribed form.

2009, c. 5, s. 328; 2010, c. 25, s. 87; 2012, c. 8, s. 138; 2013, c. 10, s. 65; 2015, c. 21, s. 321; 2015, c. 24, s. 110; 2019, c. 14, s. 268; 2021, c. 18, s. 68.

776.41.22. The amount that an individual referred to in the second paragraph of section 22 or 25 may deduct, under section 776.41.21, from the individual’s tax otherwise payable for a taxation year under this Part may not exceed the portion of that amount that is the proportion referred to in the second paragraph of section 22 or 25.

2009, c. 5, s. 328.

776.41.23. The following rules apply for the purpose of determining the amount that an individual who was resident in Canada for only part of a taxation year may deduct, under section 776.41.21, from the individual’s tax otherwise payable for the year under this Part in relation to a person:

(a)  in respect of any period in the year throughout which the individual was resident in Canada, the individual may deduct under section 776.41.21, in relation to the person, the portion of the amount that the person transfers to the individual for the year, in accordance with the first paragraph of that section, that may reasonably be considered to be entirely attributable to such a period, established as if the period was a whole taxation year; and

(b)  in respect of a period in the year that is not referred to in subparagraph a, the amount deductible under section 776.41.21 in relation to the person is to be established as if the period was a whole taxation year.

However, the amount that the individual may deduct for the year under section 776.41.21 in respect of the person, as a consequence of the application of the rules of the first paragraph, must not exceed the amount that would otherwise have been deductible in respect of the person, under that section, if the individual had been resident in Canada throughout the year.

2009, c. 5, s. 328.

776.41.24. Section 776.41.21 does not apply for the purpose of computing the tax otherwise payable of an individual referred to in the second paragraph of section 26 for a taxation year under this Part.

However, an individual all or substantially all of whose income for the year, determined under section 28, is included in computing the individual’s taxable income earned in Canada for the year, determined with reference to the third paragraph, may deduct, from the individual’s tax otherwise payable for the year under this Part, the portion of the amount, determined under section 776.41.21, that is the proportion referred to in the second paragraph of section 26.

For the purposes of the second paragraph, the taxable income earned in Canada by an individual for a taxation year is determined as if section 1090 were read for the year without reference to its second, third and fourth paragraphs and as if subparagraph a of the first paragraph of that section were replaced, for the year, by the following subparagraph:

“(a) the aggregate of the income from the duties of offices or employments performed by the individual in Canada and the income from the duties of offices or employments performed by the individual outside Canada if the individual was resident in Canada at the time the individual performed the duties;”.

2009, c. 5, s. 328; 2015, c. 36, s. 57.

776.41.25. The amount that an individual who became a bankrupt in a calendar year may deduct, under section 776.41.21, from the individual’s tax otherwise payable under this Part for each of the individual’s taxation years referred to in section 779 that end in the calendar year, is equal to the portion of that amount, otherwise determined, that is the proportion that the number of days in that taxation year is of the number of days in the calendar year.

2009, c. 5, s. 328.

776.41.26. An individual who dies in a taxation year may deduct an amount for the year under section 776.41.21 only in computing the individual’s tax payable as specified in the individual’s fiscal return that is required to be filed for the year under this Part, otherwise than because of an election made by the individual’s legal representative in accordance with the second paragraph of section 429 or section 681 or 1003.

An individual may deduct for a taxation year under section 776.41.21 in respect of a person who dies in the year only the amount that is transferred to the individual by means of the prescribed form that is enclosed with the person’s fiscal return that is required to be filed for the year under this Part, otherwise than because of an election made by the person’s legal representative in accordance with the second paragraph of section 429 or section 681 or 1003.

(a)  if the taxpayer is a corporation and paragraph a of subsection 1 of section 128.1 of the Income Tax Act (R.S.C. 1985, c. 1 (5th Suppl.)) does not apply to the taxpayer in respect of the particular time, the taxpayer’s taxation year that would otherwise have included the particular time is deemed to have ended immediately before the particular time and a new taxation year is deemed to have begun at the particular time and to have ended at the time at which the taxpayer’s taxation year (determined for the purposes of the Income Tax Act) that includes the particular time, ended;

(a.1)  if the taxpayer is a trust (other than a succession that is a graduated rate estate), the taxpayer’s taxation year that would otherwise have included the particular time is deemed to have ended immediately before the particular time and a new taxation year is deemed to have begun at the particular time;

(a.2)  if the taxpayer is a trust that is a succession that is a graduated rate estate and paragraph a of subsection 1 of section 128.1 of the Income Tax Act does not apply to the taxpayer in respect of the particular time, the taxpayer’s taxation year that would otherwise have included the particular time is deemed to have ended immediately before the particular time and a new taxation year is deemed to have begun at the particular time;

(b)  the taxpayer is deemed to have disposed, at the time, in this section referred to as the “time of disposition”, that is immediately before the time that is immediately before the particular time, of each property then owned by the taxpayer for proceeds equal to its fair market value at the time of disposition, other than, if the taxpayer is an individual,

v.  (subparagraph repealed);

(b.1)  if the taxpayer is an inter vivos trust, other than a trust exempt from tax under Book VIII, the taxpayer is deemed to have disposed, at the time of disposition, of each property that is a specified immovable then owned by the taxpayer for proceeds of disposition equal to its fair market value at the time of disposition;

(c)  the taxpayer is deemed to have acquired at the particular time each property deemed by paragraph b or b.1 to have been disposed of by the taxpayer, at a cost equal to the proceeds of disposition of the property;

(d)  where the taxpayer was, immediately before the particular time, a foreign affiliate of another taxpayer that is resident in Canada,

i.  to have disposed of the property at the time of disposition, within the meaning assigned by subparagraph b of the first paragraph of section 785.2, in respect of the emigration time for proceeds of disposition equal to the aggregate of

(1)  the adjusted cost base to the individual of the property immediately before the time of disposition, and

i.  the amount that would, but for this subparagraph c, have been the individual’s gain from the disposition of the property deemed by subparagraph b of the first paragraph of section 785.2 to have occurred,

ii.  the fair market value of the property at the particular time, and

iii.  the amount that the individual specifies, in accordance with subparagraph iii of paragraph c of subsection 6 of section 128.1 of the Income Tax Act, in the election for the purposes of that paragraph c; and

(b)  if the application of section 238.4 would reduce the amount that would, but for that section and this section, have been the individual’s loss from the disposition of a property in respect of which an election referred to in subparagraph a is made, subparagraph c applies in respect of the individual, the trust and the property, if the individual

i.  had been resident in Canada at the distribution time,

i.  the amount that would, but for this subparagraph d, have been the trust’s gain from the disposition of the property deemed by subparagraph a of the first paragraph of section 688.1 to have occurred,

ii.  the fair market value of the property at the particular time, and

iii.  the amount that the individual and the trust specify, in accordance with subparagraph iii of paragraph g of subsection 7 of section 128.1 of the Income Tax Act, in the election for the purposes of that paragraph g;

(d)  where at the second intervening time the undepreciated capital cost to a fund of depreciable property of a prescribed class exceeds the fair market value of all the property of that class, the excess is to be deducted in computing the fund’s income for the taxation year that includes the transfer time and is deemed to have been allowed as depreciation in respect of property of that class under paragraph a of section 130;

785.6. The amount to which paragraph b of section 785.5.1 and paragraph c of section 785.5.2 refer is,

(a)  in the case of a property referred to in section 785.5.1, the amount established as proceeds of disposition of the property to the transferor and the cost of the property to the transferee under paragraph b of subsection 4 of section 132.2 of the Income Tax Act (R.S.C. 1985, c. 1, (5th Suppl.)), except where subparagraph b applies;

(b)  subject to the third paragraph and if the conditions set out in the second paragraph are met for the transferor and for the transferee, the lesser of

i.  the fair market value of the property at the transfer time, and

ii.  the greatest of

(1)  the cost amount to the transferor of the property at the transfer time or, where the property is depreciable property, the lesser of its capital cost and its cost amount to the transferor immediately before the depreciables disposition time,

(2)  the amount that the transferor and the transferee agree on jointly in respect of the property in the prescribed form relating to the qualifying exchange filed pursuant to the second paragraph of section 785.4, and

(a)  in the case of an individual, the individual must be resident in Québec at the end of the individual’s taxation year in which the transfer is made and, if the second paragraph of section 22 applies to the individual for that year, the proportion applicable in respect of the individual in that second paragraph for that year must be not less than 9/10;

(b)  in the case of a corporation, the proportion that the business carried on by the corporation in Québec is of the aggregate of the business carried on in Canada or in Québec and elsewhere established by the regulations made under section 771 for its taxation year in which the transfer is made, must be not less than 9/10.

Where two or more depreciable properties of a prescribed class are disposed of by the transferor to the transferee in the same qualifying exchange, subparagraph b of the first paragraph applies as if each property so disposed of had been separately disposed of in the order designated by the transferor in the prescribed form relating to the qualifying exchange filed pursuant to the second paragraph of section 785.4 or, if the transferor does not so designate any such order, in the order designated by the Minister.

TITLE II PATRONAGE DIVIDENDS

1972, c. 23.

786. A taxpayer may deduct, according to the conditions provided in this Title, in computing his income for a taxation year, the patronage dividends which he makes in the year or within twelve months thereafter to all his customers of the year; he may also deduct patronage dividends which he has made in the year or in the twelve months thereafter to his customers of a previous year if the deduction was not permitted from his income for such previous year.

1972, c. 23, s. 595.

786.1. Section 786 applies to a payment made by a taxpayer to a customer with whom the taxpayer does not deal at arm’s length only if

(a)  the taxpayer is a cooperative described in section 119.2R2 of the Regulation respecting the Taxation Act (chapter I-3, r. 1) or a savings and credit union; or

(b)  the payment is a prescribed payment.

2005, c. 38, s. 203; 2009, c. 15, s. 161.

787. A patronage dividend is deductible if the prospect of a right to such patronage dividend was held forth to the taxpayer’s customers for the year.

1972, c. 23, s. 596.

788. The condition contemplated in section 787 shall be fulfilled if:

(a)  it is provided for in the statute under which the taxpayer was incorporated or registered, its charter, articles of association or by-laws or contract with the customer, that amounts might be credited to the customer who is a member or non-member as a patronage dividend;

(b)  the taxpayer has held forth that prospect to customers who are members or non-members by an advertisement in a form satisfactory to the Minister and published before the beginning of the year or before any other date prescribed for his kind of business, in one or more newspapers in general circulation in the greater part of the area where the taxpayer carries on business.

The taxpayer must send the Minister copies of such newspapers within the first 30 days of the taxation year or within the 30 days following the prescribed date.

1972, c. 23, s. 597; 1997, c. 3, s. 71; 2001, c. 53, s. 164.

789. A patronage dividend must be computed at the same rate for all customers, taking into account the differences for various categories and qualities of goods furnished to the taxpayer.

It must also be computed in proportion to the quality, the quantity or the value of goods which the taxpayer has acquired from the customer or on his behalf, has marketed for the customer or has sold to him or the services which the taxpayer has rendered to the customer.

1972, c. 23, s. 598.

790. For the purposes of this Title, where a person has sold or delivered a quantity of goods to a marketing board established by a law of Canada or of a province, the marketing board has sold or delivered the same quantity of goods of the same class or quality to a taxpayer of which the person is a member, and the taxpayer has credited that person with an amount based on the quantity of goods sold or delivered to it by the marketing board, such person is deemed to have sold or delivered that quantity of goods to the taxpayer, and the taxpayer is deemed to have acquired it from that person.

1975, c. 22, s. 213.

791. A patronage dividend may be in the form of a certificate of indebtedness or a share issued by the taxpayer or by a corporation of which the taxpayer is a subsidiary wholly-owned corporation.

In such case, however, the taxpayer or that corporation must have disbursed in the year or within 12 months thereafter an amount of money equal to the aggregate of the principal amount of all certificates of indebtedness or shares issued in the course of purchasing or redeeming certificates of indebtedness or shares of the taxpayer or of that corporation previously issued.

A patronage dividend may also be in the form of a payment applied to a loan made by the taxpayer to a member or an amount applied to the obligation of the member to make a loan to the taxpayer, or on account of payment for shares issued to a member, either at the request of the member or pursuant to a statute or by-law of the taxpayer.

Every payment which under section 314 must be included in computing the income of a member constitutes a patronage dividend.

1972, c. 23, s. 599; 1997, c. 3, s. 71.

792. (1)  Where a patronage dividend is computed at a different rate in the case of persons qualifying as members, the amount that may be deducted under section 786 is equal to the lesser of the aggregate of patronage dividends made by the taxpayer and mentioned in section 786 and the aggregate of the part of the income of the taxpayer for the year attributable to business done with members and such patronage dividends made to non-member customers of the year.

(2)  A person qualifies as a member, for the purposes of this Title, if, as a member or shareholder, he is entitled to full voting rights in the conduct of the affairs of a taxpayer, being a corporation, or of a corporation of which the taxpayer is a subsidiary wholly-owned corporation.

1972, c. 23, s. 600; 1989, c. 77, s. 88; 1997, c. 3, s. 71.

792.1. Where, in a taxation year ending after 31 December 1985, all or a portion of a patronage dividend made by a taxpayer to his customers who are members is not deductible in computing his income for the year because of the application of subsection 1 of section 792, in this section referred to as the "undeducted portion", the taxpayer may deduct, in computing his income for a subsequent taxation year, an amount equal to the lesser of

(a)  the undeducted portion, except to the extent that that portion was deducted in computing his income for any preceding taxation year; and

(b)  the amount by which the taxpayer’s income for the subsequent taxation year, computed without reference to this section, attributable to business done with his customers of that year who are members exceeds the amount deducted in computing his income for the subsequent taxation year by virtue of section 786 in respect of patronage dividends made by him to his customers of that year who are members.

1989, c. 77, s. 89.

793. The taxpayer’s income attributable to business done with members is computed, for the purposes of section 792, by establishing the portion of the taxpayer’s income, before any deduction permitted by this Title, that the proportion that the value of the business done in the year with the members is to that made with all customers. Such business includes the value of the goods or products which the taxpayer has acquired during the year from his customers or has marketed on behalf of his customers or has sold to them or the services which he has rendered to them.

1972, c. 23, s. 601.

794. (Repealed).

1972, c. 23, s. 602; 1973, c. 17, s. 92; 1979, c. 38, s. 24; 1986, c. 15, s. 128.

795. A taxpayer must include in computing his income for the taxation year every patronage dividend which he receives during that year. He must also include in his income the principal amount of a certificate of indebtedness or of a share issued to him as a patronage dividend for the year in which he received it and not in the year when the debt was discharged or the share redeemed.

1972, c. 23, s. 603.

796. A taxpayer is not however bound to include in computing his income a patronage dividend respecting property or services, other than a patronage dividend computed in relation to the volume of work carried on by the taxpayer for his cooperative or for a corporation of which his cooperative is a shareholder, the cost of which he may not deduct in computing his income from business or property.

1972, c. 23, s. 604; 1990, c. 7, s. 79; 1997, c. 3, s. 71.

1972, c. 23, s. 605; 1975, c. 22, s. 214; 1977, c. 5, s. 14; 1982, c. 5, s. 146; 1988, c. 64, s. 587; 1993, c. 16, s. 294; 1995, c. 49, s. 236; 1997, c. 3, s. 40; 2000, c. 29, s. 656.

(a)  a person who is recorded as a member on the records of the credit union and is entitled to participate in and use the services of the credit union; and

(b)  a registered retirement savings plan, a registered retirement income fund, a tax-free savings account or a registered education savings plan, the annuitant, holder or subscriber under which is a person described in paragraph a.

800. A credit union may, in computing its income for a taxation year, deduct the aggregate of the payments it makes to its members in the year or within twelve months thereafter, as bonus interest payments or pursuant to allocations in proportion to the loans made to its members.

Such deduction is permitted, however, only if such payments were not deductible from the income of the credit union for the preceding taxation year.

Furthermore, such a deduction is permitted only if such payments are credited for the year by the credit union to the member, at the same rate as that at which such payments are similarly credited for the year to all other members of the credit union. Those payments are computed at a rate depending, in the case of bonus interest payments, on the amount of interest payable to the member in the year, on the amount of money the member has on deposit with the credit union, and, in other cases, on the amount of interest payable by the member on the borrowed money or the amount of money that he borrowed from the credit union.

801. Despite any other provision of this Part, a payment received or receivable by a person from a particular credit union in respect of a share of the capital stock of the particular credit union is deemed to have been received or to be receivable from the particular credit union as interest except where the payment is made or is to be made as or on account of a reduction of the paid-up capital, redemption, acquisition or cancellation of the share by the particular credit union, to the extent of the paid-up capital of that share, and such payment as interest is deductible in computing the income of the particular credit union where the share is not listed on a stock exchange and

(a)  the person is a member of the particular credit union; or

(b)  the person is a member of another credit union, the share is issued by the particular credit union after 28 March 2012 and the other credit union is a member of the particular credit union.

1972, c. 23, s. 609; 1975, c. 22, s. 216; 1995, c. 49, s. 181; 2003, c. 2, s. 252; 2010, c. 5, s. 77; 2015, c. 24, s. 116.

802. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Part, an amount that is deemed under section 801 to be received or receivable as interest is deemed not to be received or receivable as a dividend.

1975, c. 22, s. 217; 1994, c. 22, s. 277; 1995, c. 49, s. 182.

803. A taxpayer must include in computing his income any payment which he receives from a credit union in respect of an allocation in proportion to borrowing for the purpose of earning income from a business or property otherwise than to acquire property the income from which would be exempt from tax or a life insurance policy.

1972, c. 23, s. 610.

803.1. If a credit union makes, in relation to a taxation year, a valid election under subsection 5.1 of section 137 of the Income Tax Act (R.S.C. 1985, c. 1 (5th Suppl.)) after 19 December 2006 to allocate an amount to another credit union that is one of its members, the credit union is deemed to have allocated to the other credit union in respect of the year such portion of each of the following amounts as may reasonably be considered to be the other credit union’s share:

(a)  the lesser of the aggregate of the amounts described in paragraph a of that subsection 5.1 in relation to the year and the aggregate of all amounts each of which is a taxable dividend received by the credit union from a taxable Canadian corporation in the year;

(b)  the lesser of the excess amount determined under paragraph b of that subsection 5.1 in relation to the year and the amount by which the aggregate of all amounts each of which is the amount by which the credit union’s capital gain from the disposition of a property in the year exceeds its taxable capital gain from the disposition, exceeds the aggregate of all amounts each of which is the amount by which the credit union’s capital loss from the disposition of a property in the year exceeds its allowable capital loss from the disposition; and

(c)  the lesser of the aggregate of the amounts described in paragraph c of that subsection 5.1 in relation to the year and the aggregate of the amounts deductible under paragraph c of section 803.2 in computing the credit union’s taxable income for the year.

Chapter V.2 of Title II of Book I applies in relation to an election made under subsection 5.1 of section 137 of the Income Tax Act or in relation to an election made under this section before 20 December 2006.

803.2. Despite any other provision of this Part, if an election referred to in the first paragraph of section 803.1 has been made by a credit union in relation to a taxation year, the following rules apply:

(a)  the credit union shall deduct from the amount that would, but for this section, be deductible in computing its taxable income for the year under sections 738 to 745, any amount determined in respect of the year, for members to which the election applies, under the first paragraph of section 803.1 in relation to the amounts referred to in subparagraph a of that paragraph;

(b)  the credit union shall include in computing its income for the year any amount determined in respect of the year, for members to which the election applies, under the first paragraph of section 803.1 in relation to the amounts referred to in subparagraphs b and c of that paragraph; and

(c)  each member to which the election applies and in respect of which an amount is determined under the first paragraph of section 803.1 may deduct that amount in computing its taxable income for its taxation year that includes the last day of the credit union’s taxation year in respect of which the amount was so determined.

1982, c. 5, s. 149; 1993, c. 16, s. 297; 1994, c. 22, s. 278; 2009, c. 5, s. 344.

814. For the purposes of this Part, every member institution in computing its income for a taxation year must include:

(a)  an amount described in paragraphs a to c of section 813 received by it during the year from a deposit insurance corporation, to the extent that it has not repaid the amount to the deposit insurance corporation in the year;

(b)  an amount received during the year from a deposit insurance corporation by a depositor or a member of the member institution as total or partial payment of a deposit with, or capital stock of, the member institution to the extent that it has not repaid the amount to the deposit insurance corporation in the year;

TITLE V INSURANCE CORPORATIONS

1972, c. 23; 1997, c. 3, s. 71.

CHAPTER I GENERAL RULES

1972, c. 23.

816. Every corporation, whether or not a mutual corporation, hereinafter called “insurer”, which carries on in Québec, for pecuniary gain, an insurance business of any class whatever during a taxation year must compute its income and its taxable income for that year in accordance with this Title.

1972, c. 23, s. 611; 1997, c. 3, s. 71.

817. For the purposes of this Part, a corporation is deemed to carry on an insurance business in a taxation year if, during that year, it is a party to an insurance contract or other arrangement of a particular class whereby it can reasonably be regarded as undertaking:

(a)  to insure other persons against loss, damage or expense of any kind; or

(b)  to pay insurance benefits to other persons on the death of any person, on the occurrence of an event or contingency dependent on human life, for a term dependent on human life or at a fixed or determinable future time.

The same applies whatever be the form and scope of such contract or arrangement, and even if the persons contemplated are members or shareholders of the corporation.

1972, c. 23, s. 612; 1997, c. 3, s. 71; 1998, c. 16, s. 189.

818. In this Title, “designated insurance property” for a taxation year of an insurer, other than an insurer resident in Canada that at no time in the year carried on a life insurance business, that, at any time in the year, carried on an insurance business in Canada and elsewhere means property determined in accordance with the prescribed rules.

However, in its application to any taxation year, “designated insurance property” for the taxation year 1998 or a preceding taxation year means property that was, under this section as it read in its application to any taxation year that ended in 1996, property used or held by an insurer in the year in the course of carrying on an insurance business in Canada.

1972, c. 23, s. 613; 1978, c. 26, s. 138; 1998, c. 16, s. 190; 2004, c. 8, s. 158.

818.1. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Part, an insurance corporation, other than a life insurance corporation, that would otherwise be a private corporation is, for the purposes of section 308.6 and paragraph b of section 570, deemed not to be a private corporation.

1984, c. 15, s. 183; 1997, c. 3, s. 71; 1997, c. 14, s. 143.

DIVISION II RULES APPLICABLE TO CERTAIN INSURERS

1972, c. 23.

i.  its income or loss for the year from carrying on an insurance business is the amount of its income or loss for the year from carrying on the insurance business in Canada,

ii.  in computing the insurer’s income or loss for the year from the insurance business carried on by it in Canada, no amount is to be included in respect of the insurer’s gross investment revenue for the year derived from property used or held by it in the course of carrying on an insurance business that is not designated insurance property for the taxation year of the insurer, and

iii.  in computing the insurer’s taxable capital gains or allowable capital losses for the year from dispositions of capital property (in this subparagraph referred to as “insurance business property”) that, at the time of the disposition, was used or held by the insurer in the course of carrying on an insurance business,

(a)  its gross investment revenue for the year from its designated insurance property for the year; and

(b)  the amount prescribed in respect of the insurer for the year.

For the purposes of this section, gross investment revenue of an insurer for a taxation year is the amount by which the aggregate of the following amounts exceeds the aggregate of all amounts each of which is an amount deemed by paragraph b of section 125.0.1 to be paid by it in respect of the year as interest, or an amount deductible under paragraph b of section 851.22.4 in computing its income for the year:

1972, c. 23, s. 618; 1977, c. 26, s. 85; 1978, c. 26, s. 141; 1984, c. 15, s. 184; 1990, c. 59, s. 307; 1993, c. 16, s. 300; 1996, c. 39, s. 222; 1997, c. 3, s. 71; 1998, c. 16, s. 192.

Such amount is, however, deductible only if it is, during the year or within the ensuing 12 months:

(b)  the aggregate of all amounts each of which is an amount paid or unconditionally credited to a policyholder or applied in discharge, in whole or in part, of a liability of the policyholder to pay premiums to the insurer before the insurer’s taxation year 1988 in respect of the amounts credited to the account of the policyholder referred to in paragraph a.

1990, c. 59, s. 310; 1996, c. 39, s. 273; 1997, c. 3, s. 71.

832.1. Subject to section 832.1.1, where a property of a life insurer resident in Canada that carries on an insurance business in Canada and elsewhere or of an insurer not resident in Canada is described in the second paragraph for a taxation year, the following rules apply:

(a)  the insurer is deemed to have disposed of the property at the beginning of the year for proceeds of disposition equal to its fair market value at that time and to have reacquired the property immediately after that time at a cost equal to that fair market value;

(b)  in the case of property referred to in subparagraph a of the second paragraph, any gain or loss arising from the disposition is deemed not to be a gain or loss from designated insurance property of the insurer for the year; and

(c)  in the case of property referred to in subparagraph b of the second paragraph, any gain or loss arising from the disposition is deemed to be a gain or loss from designated insurance property of the insurer for the year.

A property to which the first paragraph refers for a taxation year is

(a)  designated insurance property for the year that was owned by the insurer at the end of the preceding taxation year and was not designated insurance property of the insurer for that preceding year; or

(b)  property that is not designated insurance property for the year, was owned by the insurer at the end of the preceding taxation year and was designated insurance property of the insurer for that preceding year.

However, the first and second paragraphs shall be disregarded in applying sections 140, 140.1 and 818, subparagraph i of subparagraph e of the first paragraph of section 93 and subparagraph c of the second paragraph of that section where it refers to the capital cost of a property.

1996, c. 39, s. 225; 1998, c. 16, s. 195.

832.2. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Part, where an insurer has a loss for a taxation year from the disposition, because of section 832.1, of a property other than a specified debt obligation, as defined in section 851.22.1, and the loss would, but for this section, have been deductible for the year, the loss shall be deductible only in the taxation year in which the taxpayer disposes of the property otherwise than because of section 832.1.

(b)  the transferor has, at the time referred to in subparagraph a or within 60 days after that time, transferred all or substantially all of the property, in this section referred to as the “transferred property”, that is owned by it at that time and that was designated insurance property in relation to the business for the taxation year that, because of the election referred to in subparagraph d, ended immediately before that time, to a corporation, in this section referred to as the “transferee”, that is a prescribed corporation which, immediately after that time, began to carry on that insurance business in Canada, and the consideration for the transfer includes shares of the capital stock of the transferee;

(c)  the transferee has, at the time referred to in subparagraph a or within 60 days thereafter, assumed or reinsured all or substantially all of the obligations of the transferor that arose in the course of carrying on the insurance business in Canada referred to in subparagraph a;

(d)  the transferor and the transferee have made a valid election under paragraph d of subsection 11.5 of section 138 of the Income Tax Act (R.S.C. 1985, c. 1 (5th Suppl.)) in respect of the transfer.

The rules referred to in the first paragraph are as follows:

(b)  where sections 521 to 526 and 528 are not required to be applied in respect of the transfer, the cost to the transferor of any particular property, other than shares of the capital stock of the transferee or a right to receive any such shares, received or receivable by the transferor as consideration for the transferred property is deemed to be equal to the fair market value, at the time referred to in subparagraph a of the first paragraph, of the particular property;

(c)  where sections 521 to 526 and 528 are not required to be applied in respect of the transfer, the cost to the transferor of any share of the capital stock of the transferee received or receivable by the transferor as consideration for the transferred property is deemed to be equal to,

i.  where the share is a preferred share of any class of the capital stock of the transferee, the lesser of

(1)  the fair market value of that share immediately after the transfer of the transferred property, and

(2)  the amount determined by the formula

A × B/C,

ii.  where the share is a common share of any class of the capital stock of the transferee, the amount determined by the formula

D × E/F;

(d)  (subparagraph repealed);

(e)  for the purpose of determining the amount of gross investment revenue required by the first paragraph of section 825 to be included in computing the transferor’s income for the transferor’s particular taxation year that ended immediately before the time referred to in subparagraph a of the first paragraph and of determining its gains and losses from its designated insurance property for its subsequent taxation years, the transferor is deemed to have transferred the business referred to in subparagraph a of the first paragraph, the property referred to in subparagraph b of that paragraph and the obligations referred to in subparagraph c of that paragraph to the transferee on the last day of the particular taxation year;

(f.1)  for the purpose of determining the income of the transferor and the transferee for their taxation years following their particular taxation years that ended immediately before the time referred to in subparagraph a of the first paragraph, the amounts included under paragraph e.1 of section 87 and paragraph a.1 of section 844 in computing the transferor’s income for its particular taxation year in respect of the insurance policies of the business referred to in subparagraph a of the first paragraph are deemed to have been included in computing the income of the transferee, and not of the transferor, for their particular taxation years;

(g)  for the purposes of this chapter, sections 87 to 87.4, 89 to 92.7, 92.22, 128, 130 and 130.1, paragraph b of section 135, sections 137 to 143, 145 to 154, 155, 156, 157 to 157.3, 157.5 to 158, 160 to 163.1, 167, 167.1, 176 to 179, 183 and 835 to 851.22, paragraphs c and d of section 851.22.11 and sections 966 to 977.1, the transferee is deemed, for its taxation years following its taxation year that ended immediately before the time referred to in subparagraph a of the first paragraph, to be a continuation of the transferor in respect of the transferred property, the business referred to in subparagraph a of the first paragraph and the obligations referred to in subparagraph c of that paragraph;

(g.1)  except for the purposes of this section, where the provisions of sections 521 to 526 and 528 are not required to be applied in respect of the transfer, the following rules apply to each transferred property that is a specified debt obligation, other than a mark-to-market property, within the meaning assigned by section 851.22.1:

i.  the transferor is deemed not to have disposed of that property, and

ii.  the transferee is deemed, in respect of that property, to be a continuation of the transferor;

844.9.1. In applying sections 844.8 and 844.9 to an insurer for a taxation year in respect of the International Financial Reporting Standards, the following rules apply:

(a)  subparagraph c of the second paragraph of section 835 is to be read as follows:

“(c) C is the maximum amount that the insurer could deduct under paragraphs a and a.1 of section 840 (as they read in their application to a taxation year that begins before 1 January 2023) as a reserve for its base year if no account were taken of the insurer’s excluded policies;”;

(b)  subparagraph d of the second paragraph of section 835 is to be read as follows:

“(d) D is the amount by which the amount of policy acquisition costs of the insurer that is not deductible in computing the insurer’s income for the year but that, in the absence of subsection 4 of section 175.1 (as it read for the insurer’s base year), would have been deductible in the insurer’s base year or a preceding taxation year is exceeded by the maximum amount that the insurer could deduct under the second paragraph of section 152 as a reserve if no account were taken of the insurer’s excluded policies;”;

(c)  subparagraph g of the second paragraph of section 835 is to be read as follows:

“(g) G is the amount included under paragraph a.1 of section 844 (as it read in its application to a taxation year that begins before 1 January 2023) in computing the insurer’s income for its base year in respect of its life insurance policies other than excluded policies; and”;

(d)  the amount referred to in subparagraph h of the second paragraph of section 835 must be determined without reference to excluded policies.

2011, c. 34, s. 44; 2023, c. 19, s. 76.

844.10. If an insurer has, in a winding-up to which section 556 has applied, been wound up into another corporation (in this section referred to as the “parent”), and immediately after the winding-up the parent carries on an insurance business, in applying sections 844.8 and 844.9 in computing the income of the insurer and of the parent for the particular taxation years that end on or after the first day (in this section referred to as the “start day”) on which assets of the insurer were distributed to the parent on the winding-up, the following rules apply:

(a)  the parent is, on and after the start day, deemed to be the same corporation as and a continuation of the insurer in respect of

i.  any amount included under section 844.6 or deducted under section 844.7 in computing the insurer’s income from an insurance business for its transition year,

ii.  any amount deducted under section 844.8 or included under section 844.9 in computing the insurer’s income from an insurance business for a taxation year of the insurer that begins before the start day, and

iii.  any amount that would–in the absence of this section and if the insurer existed and carried on an insurance business on each day that is the start day or a subsequent day and on which the parent carries on an insurance business–be required to be deducted under section 844.8 or included under section 844.9, in respect of any of those days, in computing the insurer’s income from an insurance business; and

(b)  the insurer is, in respect of each of its particular taxation years, to determine the number of days that is referred to in subparagraph b of the second paragraph of sections 844.8 and 844.9 without reference to the start day and days after the start day.

2010, c. 25, s. 94; 2023, c. 19, s. 77.

844.11. The rules in section 844.12 apply if, at any time, an insurer (in this section and section 844.12 referred to as the “transferor”) transfers, to a corporation (in this section and section 844.12 referred to as the “transferee”) that is related to the transferor, property in respect of an insurance business carried on by the transferor (in this section and section 844.12 referred to as the “transferred business”) and

(a)  section 832.3 or 832.9 applies to the transfer; or

(b)  section 518 applies to the transfer, the transfer includes all or substantially all of the property and liabilities of the transferred business and, immediately after the transfer, the transferee carries on an insurance business.

2010, c. 25, s. 94; 2023, c. 19, s. 78.

844.12. The rules to which section 844.11 refers and that apply to the transfer of property at any time are as follows:

(a)  the transferee is, at and after that time, deemed to be the same corporation as and a continuation of the transferor in respect of

i.  any amount included under section 844.6 or deducted under section 844.7 in computing the transferor’s income for its transition year that can reasonably be attributed to the transferred business,

ii.  any amount deducted under section 844.8 or included under section 844.9 in computing the transferor’s income for a taxation year of the transferor that begins before that time that can reasonably be attributed to the transferred business, and

iii.  any amount that would–in the absence of this section and if the transferor existed and carried on an insurance business on each day that includes that time or is a subsequent day and on which the transferee carries on an insurance business–be required to be deducted under section 844.8 or included under section 844.9, in respect of any of those days, in computing the transferor’s income that can reasonably be attributed to the transferred business; and

(b)  for the purpose of determining, in respect of the day that includes that time or any subsequent day, any amount that is required to be deducted under section 844.8 or included under section 844.9 in computing the transferor’s income for each particular taxation year from the transferred business, the amount referred to in subparagraph a of the second paragraph of those sections is deemed to be nil.

2010, c. 25, s. 94; 2023, c. 19, s. 79.

844.13. If at any time an insurer ceases (otherwise than as a result of an amalgamation within the meaning of subsections 1 and 2 of section 544) to carry on all or substantially all of an insurance business (in this section referred to as the “discontinued business”), and neither section 844.10 nor 844.11 applies, the following rules apply:

(a)  there must be deducted, in computing the insurer’s income from the discontinued business for the insurer’s taxation year that includes the time that is immediately before that time, the amount determined by the formula

A - B; and

(b)  there must be included, in computing the insurer’s income from the discontinued business for the insurer’s taxation year that includes the time that is immediately before that time, the amount determined by the formula

C - D.

In the formulas in the first paragraph,

(a)  A is the amount included under section 844.6 in computing the insurer’s income from the discontinued business for its transition year;

(b)  B is the aggregate of all amounts each of which is an amount deducted under section 844.8 in computing the insurer’s income from the discontinued business for a taxation year that began before that time;

(c)  C is the amount deducted under section 844.7 in computing the insurer’s income from the discontinued business for its transition year; and

(d)  D is the aggregate of all amounts each of which is an amount included under section 844.9 in computing the insurer’s income from the discontinued business for a taxation year that began before that time.

2010, c. 25, s. 94; 2023, c. 19, s. 80.

844.14. If at any time an insurer that carried on an insurance business ceases to exist (otherwise than as a result of a winding-up described in section 844.10 or of an amalgamation within the meaning of subsections 1 and 2 of section 544), for the purposes of section 844.13, the insurer is deemed to have ceased to carry on the insurance business at the time (determined without reference to this section) at which the insurer ceased to carry on the insurance business or, if it is earlier, the time that is immediately before the end of the last taxation year of the insurer that ended at or before the time at which the insurer ceased to exist.

DIVISION IV COMPUTATION OF TAXABLE INCOME OF A LIFE INSURER

1972, c. 23.

845. A life insurer shall not claim any deduction under sections 738 to 745 in computing its taxable income for a taxation year.

CHAPTER IV RULES APPLICABLE TO SEGREGATED FUNDS

1978, c. 26, s. 165.

DIVISION I GENERALITIES

1978, c. 26, s. 165.

851.1. For the purposes of this Part, the rules provided in this chapter apply where all or any portion of an insurer’s reserves in respect of life insurance policies vary depending on the fair market value of a specified group of properties that is reported as a segregated fund to the Superintendent of Financial Institutions.

1978, c. 26, s. 165; 2023, c. 19, s. 83.

851.2. A trust is deemed to be created in respect of an insurer’s segregated fund on the day that the segregated fund is created or, if it is later, the day on which the insurer’s taxation year 1978 commences, and to continue in existence throughout the period during which the fund determines any portion of the benefits payable under its segregated fund policies.

Property of the fund and any income accruing on that property are deemed to be the property and income of that trust and the insurer is deemed to be the trustee having control of the property of the trust.

1978, c. 26, s. 165; 2017, c. 1, s. 244.

851.3. For the purposes of paragraph a of section 657 and sections 652 and 663, the taxable income of a segregated fund trust for a taxation year is deemed to be an amount that has become payable in the year to the beneficiaries under the trust and the amount payable to each beneficiary is equal to the amount determined in conformity with the terms and conditions of the segregated fund policy relating to the trust.

1978, c. 26, s. 165; 1990, c. 59, s. 324; 2020, c. 16, s. 126.

851.3.1. For the purpose of computing the taxable income of a segregated fund trust for a taxation year that begins after 31 December 2017, a non-capital loss of the trust incurred in a taxation year that begins before 1 January 2018 is deemed to be nil.

2020, c. 16, s. 127.

851.4. The expression “terms and conditions of the trust arrangement” in sections 646 to 681 is deemed to include the terms and conditions of a segregated fund policy and the trustee is deemed to have designated the amounts referred to in the said sections in accordance with those terms and conditions.

1978, c. 26, s. 165; 2017, c. 1, s. 245.

DIVISION II RULES RELATING TO AN INSURER

1978, c. 26, s. 165.

851.5. Where property of a segregated fund trust is used or held by an insurer in the course of carrying on the insurer’s life insurance business in Canada, the insurer is deemed to be a resident of Canada in respect of that property and a non-resident of Canada in respect of the other property of the trust.

1978, c. 26, s. 165; 1997, c. 14, s. 148.

851.6. Where, at a particular time, a segregated fund trust has property that was not funded with premiums paid under a segregated fund policy relating to the trust, the insurer is deemed to have an interest in the trust that is not respect of any particular property or separate source of income.

The cost at a particular time of that interest to an insurer is deemed to be equal to the aggregate of the amount that would be the adjusted cost base, to the insurer, of the property described in the first paragraph at that time that it allocated to the segregated fund prior to 1978 if that interest had been a capital property at all times prior to 1978 and if the rules provided in this chapter had applied to the taxation years 1972 to 1977, and the fair market value, at the time the insurer last allocated it to the fund, of the other property described in the said paragraph at that particular time that the insurer allocated to the segregated fund after 1977.

1978, c. 26, s. 165.

851.7. Where any portion of the benefits payable by an insurer under a segregated fund policy varies with the fair market value of the property of the segregated fund at the time the benefits become payable, the obligations of the insurer in respect of that portion of the benefits are deemed to be obligations of the trustee of the segregated fund trust relating to that policy.

1978, c. 26, s. 165.

851.8. Where, at a particular time, the fair market value of property transferred by an insurer to a segregated fund results in both an increase at that time in the portion of the insurer’s reserves in respect of a segregated fund policy that vary with the fair market value of the property of the fund and a decrease in the portion of those reserves that do not so vary, the amount of that increase is deemed, for the purposes of computing the income of the insurer, to be a payment made by it in accordance with the terms and conditions of the policy at that time.

1978, c. 26, s. 165.

851.9. Where, at a particular time, the fair market value of property from a segregated fund transferred by an insurer results in both a decrease, at that time, in that portion of the insurer’s reserves in respect of a segregated fund policy that vary with the fair market value of the property of the fund and an increase in the portion of those reserves that do not so vary, the amount of that increase is deemed, for the purposes of computing the income of the insurer, to be a premium received by it at that time.

1978, c. 26, s. 165.

851.10. Where an insurer holds property at the end of its taxation year 1977 in connection with a segregated fund, the following rules apply:

(a)  the insurer is deemed to have disposed of the property on the day referred to in section 851.2 for proceeds equal to its adjusted cost base to the insurer on that day and the segregated fund trust is deemed to have acquired that property on the same day at a cost equal to those proceeds;

(b)  the transaction referred to in paragraph a is deemed to be made between persons not dealing at arm’s length; and

(c)  the insurer is deemed, for the purposes of computing its income for the taxation year 1978, to have paid in the year to its policyholders in satisfaction of their rights under their segregated fund policies, an amount equal to that portion of the amount deducted under paragraph a of section 840 in computing its income for the taxation year 1977 that is in respect of segregated fund policies.

1978, c. 26, s. 165; 1980, c. 13, s. 72; 1996, c. 39, s. 273.

DIVISION III RULES RELATING TO POLICYHOLDERS

1978, c. 26, s. 165; 1996, c. 39, s. 273.

851.11. Where, at a particular time, a segregated fund trust has property that was funded with a portion of the premiums paid before that time under a segregated fund policy relating to the trust, that portion of the premiums is deemed not to have been paid in respect of those premiums and the holder of such a policy is deemed to have an interest in the trust that is not in respect of any particular property or any separate source of income.

The cost of that interest to the policyholder at a particular time is deemed to be equal to the aggregate of the amount that would be the adjusted cost base on 31 December 1977, to the insurer, of the property described in the first paragraph if that interest had been a capital property at all times prior to 1978 and if the rules provided in this chapter, but for the words “capital loss” and “loss” in section 851.16, had applied to the taxation years 1972 to 1977, and the portion, other than that representing the costs of acquisition, of the premiums described in the said paragraph and paid before that time but after the insurer’s taxation year 1977, that the insurer has used or must use to fund the property of the segregated fund.

1978, c. 26, s. 165; 1996, c. 39, s. 273.

851.12. For the purposes of computing the adjusted cost base to the holder of a segregated fund policy of his interest in the segregated fund relating to that policy, the amount of the increase referred to in section 851.8 in respect of that policy must, at the particular time referred to in the said section, be added to the cost to him of that interest.

For the purposes of section 976, the amount of that increase is deemed to be the proceeds of the disposition of an interest in the policy that the holder becomes entitled to receive at that time.

1978, c. 26, s. 165; 1996, c. 39, s. 273.

851.13. In the case referred to in section 851.7, any amount that the holder of the segregated fund policy receives or becomes entitled to receive at a particular time in conformity with an obligation referred to in the said section is deemed to be the proceeds of the disposition of an interest in the segregated fund trust relating to that policy.

1978, c. 26, s. 165; 1996, c. 39, s. 273.

851.14. Where, at a particular time, the holder of a segregated fund policy disposes of all or a portion of his interest in the segregated fund trust relating to that policy, the trust is deemed to sustain a capital loss that is equal to the amount computed under section 851.15 and that, for the purposes of section 851.16, reduces by that amount the benefits payable to the policyholder under that policy.

1978, c. 26, s. 165; 1996, c. 39, s. 273.

851.15. The amount referred to in section 851.14 is equal to that proportion of the amount by which the acquisition fee of the segregated fund policy exceeds the aggregate of the amounts determined under the said section in respect of the policy before the particular time, that the fair market value, at the particular time, of the interest disposed of is of the fair market value, immediately before the particular time, of the policyholder’s interest in the segregated fund trust relating to that policy.

1978, c. 26, s. 165; 1996, c. 39, s. 273.

851.16. A capital gain or capital loss of a segregated fund trust from the disposition of any property is deemed to be a capital gain or a capital loss, as the case may be, of a holder of a segregated fund policy relating to the trust or of another beneficiary of the trust to the extent that the benefits payable to that policyholder under his policy or the interest of that other beneficiary in the trust are affected by that gain or that loss.

1978, c. 26, s. 165; 1996, c. 39, s. 273.

851.16.1. (Repealed).

2003, c. 2, s. 253; 2017, c. 1, s. 246.

851.16.2. (Repealed).

2003, c. 2, s. 253; 2017, c. 1, s. 246.

851.17. For the purposes of this chapter, the expression “acquisition fee” means the amount by which the aggregate of the amounts described in section 851.18 exceeds the aggregate of the portions of each of those amounts that may reasonably be considered to be in respect of an interest in the segregated fund that was disposed of before 1978.

1978, c. 26, s. 165.

851.18. The amounts referred to in section 851.17 are the following:

(a)  the amount of that portion of a premium under a segregated fund policy that cannot reasonably be regarded as an amount required to fund a mortality or maturity benefit or that is not included in the segregated fund relating to that policy;

(b)  the amount of a transfer from a segregated fund that cannot reasonably be regarded as an amount required to fund a mortality or maturity benefit, except annual administration fees;

(c)  the amount of the decrease in the proceeds payable to the holder of a segregated fund policy on the surrender or partial surrender of the policy to the extent that that amount may reasonably be regarded as a surrender fee.

1978, c. 26, s. 165; 1996, c. 39, s. 273.

851.19. Divisions I, II and IV and sections 851.11 to 851.18 do not apply to the holder of a segregated fund policy that is issued or effected as or under a registered retirement savings plan, registered retirement income fund, tax-free savings account or first home savings account or that is issued under a registered pension plan or pooled registered pension plan.

1978, c. 26, s. 165; 1991, c. 25, s. 96; 1994, c. 22, s. 282; 1996, c. 39, s. 273; 2001, c. 53, s. 172; 2009, c. 15, s. 162; 2015, c. 21, s. 330; 2023, c. 19, s. 84.

DIVISION IV CAPITAL PROPERTY OF A SEGREGATED FUND TRUST

1978, c. 26, s. 165.

851.20. If, at a particular time, the holder of a segregated fund policy withdraws all or part of the holder’s interest in that policy, and the trustee of the segregated fund trust relating to that policy makes, in relation to the withdrawal, a valid election under subsection 4 of section 138.1 of the Income Tax Act (R.S.C. 1985, c. 1 (5th Suppl.)) after 19 December 2006 in respect of a capital property of the trust, the capital property is deemed to have been disposed of on the date designated by the trustee in respect of the capital property in the election for proceeds of disposition equal to the amount designated by the trustee in respect of the capital property in the election in accordance with that subsection 4, which amount is to be reduced to the greater of or increased to the lesser of, as the case may be, the fair market value of the capital property on the date of the disposition and the adjusted cost base to the trust of the capital property on that date, and to have been reacquired by the trust immediately after at a cost equal to those proceeds.

Chapter V.2 of Title II of Book I applies in relation to an election made under subsection 4 of section 138.1 of the Income Tax Act or in relation to an election made under this section before 20 December 2006.

1978, c. 26, s. 165; 1996, c. 39, s. 273; 2001, c. 53, s. 173; 2009, c. 5, s. 353.

851.21. If the trustee of a segregated fund trust has made an election referred to in the first paragraph of section 851.20, the following rules apply:

(a)  the trustee must allocate to any policyholder who withdraws, at the particular time referred to in that first paragraph, all or part of his interest in a segregated fund policy relating to the trust, the amount of any capital gain or capital loss resulting from the disposition referred to in that first paragraph to the extent that the amount of benefits payable to that policyholder under his policy at that time is affected by the capital gain or capital loss in respect of property held by the trust at that time;

(b)  the allocation mentioned in paragraph a is deemed to have been made immediately before the withdrawal referred to in that paragraph;

(c)  any capital gain that is not allocated in accordance with paragraph a is deemed to be allocated in accordance with the terms and conditions of the segregated fund policy; and

(d)  any capital loss that is not allocated in accordance with paragraph a is deemed to be a non-deductible loss for each policyholder to the extent that the benefits payable under his policy would be affected by that loss.

1978, c. 26, s. 165; 1996, c. 39, s. 273; 2009, c. 5, s. 354.

851.22. At any particular time, the adjusted cost base of each capital property of a segregated fund trust is deemed to be the amount by which the adjusted cost base of the property to the trust immediately before that time exceeds the aggregate of amounts each of which is an amount in respect of the disposition by the holder of a segregated fund policy relating to the trust of all or part of his interest in the trust at that time equal to that proportion of the amount by which the adjusted cost base to the policyholder of his interest in the trust at that time exceeds his proceeds of the disposition of such interest that the fair market value of the capital property at that time is of the fair market value of all capital property of the trust at the same time.

1978, c. 26, s. 165; 1996, c. 39, s. 273.

DIVISION V REORGANIZATION OF SEGREGATED FUND TRUSTS

2020, c. 16, s. 128.

851.22.0.1. In this division, “qualifying transfer” means a transfer at any time (in this division referred to as the “transfer time”) of all of the property that, immediately before the transfer time, was property of a segregated fund trust (in this division referred to as the “transferor” or the “funds”) to another segregated fund trust (in this division referred to as the “transferee” or the “funds”), if

(a)  every person (in this division referred to as a “beneficiary”) that, immediately before the transfer time, had an interest in the transferor has ceased to be a beneficiary of the transferor at the transfer time and has received no consideration for the interest other than an interest in the transferee; and

(b)  the trustee of the funds makes a valid election under paragraph d of subsection 1 of section 138.2 of the Income Tax Act (R.S.C. 1985, c. 1 (5th Suppl.)) in respect of the transfer.

Chapter V.2 of Title II of Book I applies in relation to an election made under paragraph d of subsection 1 of section 138.2 of the Income Tax Act.

2020, c. 16, s. 128.

851.22.0.2. The following rules apply in respect of a qualifying transfer:

(a)  the last taxation year of the funds that began before the transfer time is deemed to have ended at the transfer time and a new taxation year of the transferee is deemed to have begun immediately after the transfer time;

(b)  no amount in respect of a non-capital loss, net capital loss, restricted farm loss, farm loss or limited partnership loss of a fund for a taxation year that began before the transfer time is deductible in computing the taxable income of any of the funds for a taxation year that begins after the transfer time;

(c)  each beneficiary’s interest in the transferor is deemed to have been disposed of at the transfer time for proceeds of disposition, and each beneficiary’s interest in the transferee received in the qualifying transfer is deemed to have been acquired at a cost, equal to the cost amount to the beneficiary of the interest in the transferor immediately before the transfer time;

(d)  any amount determined under sections 851.17 and 851.18 in respect of a policyholder’s interest in the transferor is deemed

i.  to have been charged, transferred or paid in respect of the policyholder’s interest in the transferee that is acquired on the qualifying transfer, and

(b)  a trust (other than a trust in respect of which an amount of the income or capital of the trust that any entity may receive directly from the trust as a beneficiary under the trust depends on the exercise by any entity of, or the failure by any entity to exercise, a discretionary power) were a corporation having capital stock of a single class divided into 100 issued shares and each beneficiary under the trust owned, at the particular time, that proportion of the issued shares of that class that the fair market value of the beneficiary’s beneficial interest in the trust at that time is of the fair market value of all beneficial interests in the trust at the same time.

(b)  where the conditions set out in subparagraphs i and ii are met, there shall be included in computing the taxpayer’s income for the particular year the amount by which the aggregate of all amounts each of which is an amount referred to in subparagraph i exceeds the aggregate of all amounts included under paragraph i of section 87 in respect of the obligation in computing the taxpayer’s income for the particular year or a preceding taxation year:

i.  an amount has been deducted under section 141 in respect of the obligation in computing the taxpayer’s income for the particular year or a preceding taxation year, and

ii.  section 92.22 does not apply to the disposition.

1996, c. 39, s. 235.

851.22.21.1. The rules in section 851.22.21.2 apply if

(a)  section 851.22.15 deems the taxpayer to have disposed of a specified debt obligation immediately before the end of the taxpayer’s transition year (in section 851.22.21.2 referred to as the “particular disposition”); and

(b)  the specified debt obligation was owned by the taxpayer at the end of the taxpayer’s base year and was not a mark-to-market property of the taxpayer for the taxpayer’s base year.

2010, c. 25, s. 98.

851.22.21.2. The rules to which section 851.22.21.1 refers and that apply to a taxpayer in respect of a particular disposition are the following:

(a)  section 157.6 does not apply to the taxpayer in respect of the particular disposition; and

(b)  if section 92.22 does not apply to the taxpayer in respect of the particular disposition, there must be included in computing the taxpayer’s income for the taxpayer’s transition year the amount by which the aggregate determined in the second paragraph is exceeded by the aggregate of all amounts each of which is an amount deducted under section 140 in respect of the specified debt obligation of the taxpayer in computing the taxpayer’s income for the taxpayer’s base year, or an amount deducted under section 141 in respect of the specified debt obligation of the taxpayer in computing the taxpayer’s income for a taxation year that preceded the taxpayer’s transition year.

The aggregate to which subparagraph b of the first paragraph refers is the aggregate of all amounts each of which is an amount included under paragraph d of section 87 in respect of the specified debt obligation of the taxpayer in computing the taxpayer’s income for the taxpayer’s transition year, or an amount included under paragraph i of section 87 in respect of the specified debt obligation of the taxpayer in computing the taxpayer’s income for the taxpayer’s transition year or a preceding taxation year.

2010, c. 25, s. 98.

851.22.22. The rules set out in the second paragraph apply where a taxpayer is deemed by section 851.22.15 to have disposed of a property in a taxation year, referred to as a “particular year” in the second paragraph, that includes 31 October 1994 and the following conditions are met:

(a)  the taxpayer acquired the property before 31 October 1994 at a cost less than the fair market value of the property at the time of acquisition;

(b)  the property was transferred, directly or indirectly, to the taxpayer by a person that would never have been a financial institution before the transfer if the definition of “financial institution” in section 851.22.1 had always applied; and

(c)  the cost of the property is less than the fair market value because section 518 applied in respect of the disposition of the property by the person referred to in subparagraph b.

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

(a)  where the taxpayer would, but for this subparagraph, have a taxable capital gain for the particular year from the disposition of the property, the part of the taxable capital gain that can reasonably be considered to have arisen while the property was held by a person described in subparagraph b of the first paragraph is deemed to be a taxable capital gain of the taxpayer from the disposition of the property for the taxation year in which the taxpayer disposes of the property otherwise than because of section 851.22.15, and not to be a taxable capital gain for the particular year; and

(b)  where the taxpayer has a profit, other than a capital gain, from the disposition of the property, the part of the profit that can reasonably be considered to have arisen while the property was held by a person described in subparagraph b of the first paragraph shall be included in computing the taxpayer’s income for the taxation year in which the taxpayer disposes of the property otherwise than because of section 851.22.15, and shall not be included in computing the taxpayer’s income for the particular year.

CHAPTER III.1 TRANSITIONAL RULES

2010, c. 25, s. 99.

851.22.22.1. If the transition amount of a taxpayer that is an insurer in the taxpayer’s transition year is negative, the transition amount, expressed as a positive number, must be included in computing the taxpayer’s income for that year.

2010, c. 25, s. 99; 2023, c. 19, s. 86.

851.22.22.2. If the transition amount of a taxpayer that is an insurer in the taxpayer’s transition year is positive, the transition amount must be deducted in computing the taxpayer’s income for that year.

A × B/1,825.

In the formula in the first paragraph,

(a)  A is the amount included under section 851.22.22.1 in computing the taxpayer’s income for the taxpayer’s transition year; and

(a)  the parent is, on and after the start day, deemed to be the same corporation as and a continuation of the taxpayer in respect of

i.  any amount included under section 851.22.22.1 or deducted under section 851.22.22.2 by the taxpayer in computing the taxpayer’s income for the taxpayer’s transition year,

ii.  any amount deducted under section 851.22.22.3 or included under section 851.22.22.4 in computing the taxpayer’s income for a taxation year of the taxpayer that begins before the start day, and

iii.  any amount that would–in the absence of this section and if the taxpayer existed and was an insurer on each day that is the start day or a subsequent day and on which the parent is an insurer–be required to be deducted under section 851.22.22.3 or included under section 851.22.22.4, in respect of any of those days, in computing the taxpayer’s income for the taxpayer’s transition year; and

(b)  the taxpayer is, in respect of each of the taxpayer’s particular taxation years, to determine the number of days that is referred to in subparagraph b of the second paragraph of sections 851.22.22.3 and 851.22.22.4 without reference to the start day and days after the start day.

2010, c. 25, s. 99; 2023, c. 19, s. 90.

851.22.22.6. The rules in section 851.22.22.7 apply if, at any time, a taxpayer (in this section and section 851.22.22.7 referred to as the “transferor”) transfers, to a corporation (in this section and section 851.22.22.7 referred to as the “transferee”) that is related to the transferor, property in respect of a business carried on by the transferor in Canada (in this section and section 851.22.22.7 referred to as the “transferred business”) and

i.  any amount included under section 851.22.22.1 or deducted under section 851.22.22.2 in computing the transferor’s income for the transferor’s transition year that can reasonably be attributed to the transferred business,

ii.  any amount deducted under section 851.22.22.3 or included under section 851.22.22.4 in computing the transferor’s income for a taxation year of the transferor that begins before that time that can reasonably be attributed to the transferred business, and

iii.  any amount that would–in the absence of this section and if the transferor existed and was an insurer on each day that includes that time or is a subsequent day and on which the transferee is an insurer–be required to be deducted under section 851.22.22.3 or included under section 851.22.22.4, in respect of any of those days, in computing the transferor’s income that can reasonably be attributed to the transferred business; and

(b)  for the purpose of determining, in respect of the day that includes that time or any subsequent day, any amount that is required to be deducted under section 851.22.22.3 or included under section 851.22.22.4 in computing the transferor’s income for each particular taxation year from the transferred business, the amount referred to in subparagraph a of the second paragraph of those sections is deemed to be nil.

(a)  A is the amount included under section 851.22.22.1 in computing the taxpayer’s income for the taxpayer’s transition year;

(b)  B is the aggregate of all amounts each of which is an amount deducted under section 851.22.22.3 in computing the income of the taxpayer for a taxation year that began before that time;

(c)  C is the amount deducted under section 851.22.22.2 in computing the taxpayer’s income for the taxpayer’s transition year; and

(d)  D is the aggregate of all amounts each of which is an amount included under section 851.22.22.4 in computing the taxpayer’s income for a taxation year that began before that time.

2017, c. 1, s. 251; 2022, c. 23, s. 71.

851.57. An expenditure of a taxpayer is deemed not to include any portion of the expenditure that would, but for this section, be included in determining the expenditure because of the taxpayer having granted or issued an option.

2017, c. 1, s. 251.

851.58. An expenditure of a corporation that would, but for this section, include an amount because of the corporation having issued a share of its capital stock at a particular time is reduced by

(a)  if the issuance of the share is not a consequence of the exercise of an option, the amount by which the fair market value of the share at the particular time exceeds

i.  if the transaction under which the share is issued is a transaction to which Chapter IV of Title IX of Book III or Chapter II or III of Title V applies, the amount determined in accordance with that chapter to be the cost to the corporation of the property acquired in consideration for issuing the share, or

ii.  in any other case, the fair market value of the property transferred or issued to, or the services provided to, the corporation in consideration for issuing the share; or

(b)  if the issuance of the share is a consequence of the exercise of an option, the amount by which the fair market value of the share at the particular time exceeds the amount paid, pursuant to the terms of the option, by the holder of the option to the corporation in consideration for issuing the share.

2017, c. 1, s. 251.

851.59. An expenditure of a taxpayer (other than a corporation) that would, but for this section, include an amount because of the taxpayer having issued an interest, or because of an interest being created, in itself at a particular time is reduced by

(a)  if the issuance or creation of the interest is not a consequence of the exercise of an option, the amount by which the fair market value of the interest at the particular time exceeds

i.  if the transaction under which the interest is issued or created is a transaction to which section 440, paragraph c of section 454.1, the second paragraph of section 614, Chapter X of Title XII of Book III or Title I.2 applies, the amount determined in accordance with that provision, chapter or Title, as the case may be, to be the cost to the taxpayer of the property acquired in consideration for the interest, or

ii.  in any other case, the fair market value of the property transferred or issued to, or the services provided to, the taxpayer in consideration for the interest; and

(b)  if the issuance or creation of the interest is a consequence of the exercise of an option, the amount by which the fair market value of the interest at the particular time exceeds the amount paid, pursuant to the terms of the option, by the holder of the option to the taxpayer in consideration for the interest.

2017, c. 1, s. 251.

CHAPTER III LIMITATION ON THE AMOUNT OF AN EXPENDITURE

2017, c. 1, s. 251.

851.60. For the purposes of this Part, the amount, at any time, of an expenditure of a taxpayer that occurs in a taxation year is the lesser of

(a)  the amount of the expenditure at the time, calculated under this Part but without reference to this chapter; and

(b)  the amount obtained by subtracting, from the amount of the expenditure determined in accordance with paragraph a, the amount by which the aggregate of all amounts each of which is a contingent amount of the taxpayer in the year in respect of the expenditure exceeds the aggregate of all amounts each of which is

i.  an amount paid by the taxpayer to obtain a right to reduce an amount in respect of the expenditure, or

ii.  a limited-recourse amount for the purposes of section 851.41 that reduces the expenditure under that section to the extent that the amount is also a contingent amount described in this paragraph in respect of the expenditure.

2017, c. 1, s. 251.

851.61. Where, in a particular taxation year, a taxpayer pays all or a portion of a contingent amount referred to in paragraph b of section 851.60 that reduces the amount of the taxpayer’s expenditure referred to in paragraph a of that section, the portion of the contingent amount paid by the taxpayer in the particular year for the purpose of earning income is, for the purposes of this Part, deemed

(a)  to have been incurred by the taxpayer in the particular year;

(b)  to have been incurred for the same purpose and to have the same character as the expenditure so reduced; and

(c)  to have become payable by the taxpayer in respect of the particular year.

2017, c. 1, s. 251.

851.62. Where, at any time in a taxation year that is after a particular taxation year in which an expenditure of a taxpayer occurred, the taxpayer, or another taxpayer not dealing at arm’s length with the taxpayer, has a right to reduce an amount in respect of the expenditure that would, if that right had been held by either of those taxpayers in the particular year, have resulted in section 851.60 applying in the particular year to reduce or eliminate the amount of the expenditure, the subsequent contingent amount in respect of the expenditure, as determined under the second paragraph, is deemed, subject to section 851.63 and to the extent that section 851.60 and this paragraph have not previously applied in respect of the expenditure, to have been received

(a)  by the taxpayer at the time in the course of earning income from a business or property from a person described in paragraph w of section 87; and

(b)  as a refund, reimbursement, contribution or allowance or as assistance, whether as a grant, subsidy, forgivable loan, deduction from tax, allowance or any other form of assistance, in respect of an amount included in, or deducted as, the cost of property or in respect of an outlay or expense.

A taxpayer’s subsequent contingent amount in respect of an expenditure of the taxpayer is the amount by which the maximum amount by which a particular amount in respect of the expenditure may be reduced in accordance with a right to reduce the particular amount exceeds the amount, if any, paid to obtain that right.

2017, c. 1, s. 251.

851.63. The right which a taxpayer, or another taxpayer that does not deal at arm’s length with the taxpayer, has to reduce an amount in respect of an expenditure of the taxpayer in a taxation year that is after the particular taxation year in which the expenditure occurred, determined without reference to section 851.61, is deemed to be held by the taxpayer in the particular year if it is reasonable to conclude having regard to all the circumstances that one of the purposes for which that right was held by the taxpayer, or by the other taxpayer, after the end of the year was to avoid the application of section 851.60 in respect of the expenditure.

2017, c. 1, s. 251.

851.64. Despite sections 1010 to 1011, the Minister may make such assessments of tax, interest and penalties, or such determinations and redeterminations as are necessary to give effect to this chapter.

2017, c. 1, s. 251.

BOOK VII PROFIT SHARING PLANS AND OTHER SPECIAL INCOME ARRANGEMENTS

852. In this Title,

“unused portion of the exempt capital gains balance” of a beneficiary in respect of a trust governed by a profit sharing plan, at any time in a taxation year of the beneficiary, means

(a)  if the year ends before 1 January 2005, the amount by which the beneficiary’s exempt capital gains balance, within the meaning of section 251.1, in respect of the trust for the year exceeds the aggregate of all amounts each of which is an amount by which a capital gain is reduced under Chapter II.1 of Title IV of Book III for the year because of the beneficiary’s exempt capital gains balance in respect of the trust; or

(b)  if the year ends after 31 December 2004, the amount by which the amount that would, if the definition of “exempt capital gains balance” in the first paragraph of section 251.1 were read without reference to “that ends before 1 January 2005”, be the beneficiary’s exempt capital gains balance in respect of the trust for the year, exceeds

i.  where there has been a disposition of an interest or a part of an interest of the beneficiary in the trust after the beneficiary’s taxation year 2004, other than a disposition that is a part of a transaction described in paragraph c of section 858 in which property is received as consideration for all or a portion of the beneficiary’s interests in the trust, the aggregate of all amounts each of which is an amount by which the adjusted cost base of an interest or a part of an interest disposed of by the beneficiary, other than an interest or a part of an interest that is all or a portion of the beneficiary’s interests referred to in paragraph c of section 858, was increased because of paragraph c.4 of section 255, and

ii.  in any other case, nil;

“profit sharing plan” at a particular time means an arrangement

(a)  under which payments computed by reference to an employer’s profits from the employer’s business, the profits from the business of a corporation with which the employer does not deal at arm’s length or the profits from the business of the employer and of any such corporation, are required to be made by the employer to a trustee under the arrangement for the benefit of employees of the employer or of a corporation with which the employer does not deal at arm’s length; and

(b)  in respect of which the trustee has, since the later of the beginning of the arrangement and the end of 1949, allocated, either contingently or absolutely, to those employees

i.  in each year that ended at or before the particular time, all amounts received in the year by the trustee from the employer or from a corporation with which the employer does not deal at arm’s length,

ii.  in each year ending at or before the particular time, all profits for the year from the property of the trust, determined without regard to any capital gain made by the trust or capital loss sustained by it at any time after 31 December 1955,

iii.  in each year that ended after 31 December 1971 and at or before the particular time, all capital gains and capital losses of the trust for the year,

iv.  in each year that ended after 31 December 1971, before 1 January 1993 and at or before the particular time, 100/15 of the aggregate of all amounts each of which is deemed by section 864 to have been paid on account of tax under this Part in respect of an employee because the employee ceased to be a beneficiary under the plan in the year, and

v.  in each year that ended after 31 December 1991 and at or before the particular time, the aggregate of all amounts each of which is an amount that an employee is entitled to deduct under section 864 in computing his income because the employee ceased to be a beneficiary under the plan in the year.

1972, c. 23, s. 640; 1991, c. 25, s. 176; 1993, c. 19, s. 71; 1995, c. 49, s. 189; 1997, c. 3, s. 71; 2000, c. 5, s. 188.

853. For the purposes of section 852, if the terms of an arrangement under which an employer makes payments to a trustee specifically provide that the payments are to be made out of profits, the arrangement is deemed, if the employer makes a valid election under subsection 10 of section 144 of the Income Tax Act (R.S.C. 1985, c. 1 (5th Suppl.)) after 19 December 2006 in respect of the arrangement, to be an arrangement under which payments computed by reference to the employer’s profits are to be made.

Chapter V.2 of Title II of Book I applies in relation to an election made under subsection 10 of section 144 of the Income Tax Act or in relation to an election made under this section before 20 December 2006.

1972, c. 23, s. 641; 1995, c. 49, s. 189; 2009, c. 5, s. 372.

854. Where, for the purposes of the Income Tax Act (Revised Statutes of Canada, 1985, chapter 1, 5th Supplement), a profit sharing plan is accepted by the Minister of Revenue of Canada for registration as a deferred profit sharing plan, the taxation year of the trust governed by the profit sharing plan is deemed, for the purposes of this Part, to have ended immediately before the plan is deemed to have become registered as a deferred profit sharing plan pursuant to subsection 5 of section 147 of the said Act.

1972, c. 23, s. 642; 1991, c. 25, s. 97; 2000, c. 5, s. 293.

855. No tax is payable under this Part by a trust for a taxation year throughout which the trust is governed by a profit sharing plan.

1972, c. 23, s. 643; 1995, c. 49, s. 190.

CHAPTER II COMPUTATION OF INCOME

1972, c. 23.

856. An employer may deduct in computing his income, for a taxation year, any amount which he pays to a trust under a profit sharing plan in that year or within 120 days thereafter, to the extent that such amount was not deductible in computing income for a previous taxation year.

1972, c. 23, s. 644.

857. A beneficiary must include in computing his income for a taxation year an amount which he receives in the year from a trustee under a profit sharing plan, except to the extent that such amount is allocated to:

(a)  a payment made by the employee to the trustee;

(b)  a capital gain made by the trust before 1972;

(c)  a capital gain of the trust for a taxation year ending after 1971 to the extent allocated by such trust to the beneficiary;

(d)  a gain made by the trust after 1971 from the disposition of a capital property, except to the extent that the gain is a capital gain made by trust for a taxation year ending after 1971;

(e)  a dividend received by the trust from a taxable Canadian corporation, other than a dividend described in section 501, to the extent allocated by the trust to the beneficiary;

(f)  an amount which must be included in computing the income of the employee for that year or a previous year; or

(g)  the portion of the increase in the value of property transferred to the beneficiary by the trust that would have been in 1971 a capital gain for it if it had sold it at its fair market value on 31 December 1971.

The portion of capital losses of the trust for its taxation years ending after 1971 that has been allocated by the trust to the beneficiary must however be deducted from the amount contemplated in one of the subparagraphs of the first paragraph if such portion has not been applied to reduce the amount contemplated in another of such paragraphs.

1972, c. 23, s. 645; 1973, c. 17, s. 100; 1977, c. 26, s. 90; 1978, c. 26, s. 167; 1997, c. 3, s. 71.

858. Where a beneficiary receives, from a trust under a profit sharing plan at any particular time in its taxation year, an amount which is property other than money, the following rules apply to such property:

(a)  the amount of the cost amount to the trust of the property immediately before such time is deemed to be the proceeds of the disposition of the property therefor;

(b)  that proportion of such portion of the amount received by the beneficiary, as determined in section 857, as is attributable to an amount referred to in any of subparagraphs a to g of the first paragraph of that section, that the cost amount to the trust of the property immediately before the particular time is of the cost amount to the trust of all properties so received by the beneficiary at the particular time, is, subject to paragraph c, deemed to be both the cost to the beneficiary of the property and, for the purposes of section 857, the amount so received by the beneficiary by virtue of the receipt by the beneficiary of the property; and

(c)  where the property is received as consideration for all or a portion of the beneficiary’s interests in the trust and the beneficiary files with the Minister on or before the beneficiary’s filing-due date for the beneficiary’s taxation year that includes the particular time an election in respect of the property, the beneficiary shall include in the cost to the beneficiary of the property determined under paragraph b the least of

i.  the amount by which the unused portion of the beneficiary’s exempt capital gains balance in respect of the trust at the particular time exceeds the aggregate of all amounts each of which is an amount included because of this paragraph in the cost to the beneficiary of another property received by the beneficiary at or before the particular time in the year,

ii.  the amount by which the fair market value of the property at the particular time exceeds the amount deemed by paragraph b to be the cost to the beneficiary of the property, and

iii.  the amount designated in the election in respect of the property.

1973, c. 17, s. 101; 2000, c. 5, s. 189.

859. An employee who is a beneficiary under a profit sharing plan must include in computing his income for a taxation year each amount that is allocated to him, contingently or absolutely, by the trustee under the plan at any time in the year, except in the case of an allocation in respect of an amount described in any of subparagraphs a to d of the first paragraph of section 857 or a dividend received by the trust from a taxable Canadian corporation.

1972, c. 23, s. 646; 1973, c. 17, s. 102; 1977, c. 26, s. 91; 1989, c. 5, s. 156; 1995, c. 49, s. 191; 1997, c. 3, s. 71.

860. Each capital gain or capital loss from the disposition of any property by a trust governed by a profit sharing plan is deemed, to the extent that it is allocated by the trust to one of its beneficiaries, to be such a capital gain or capital loss of the beneficiary from the disposition of that property for the taxation year of the beneficiary in which the allocation was made and, for the purposes of Title VI.5 of Book IV, the property is deemed to have been disposed of by the beneficiary on the day on which it was disposed of by the trust.

1972, c. 23, s. 647; 1996, c. 39, s. 236.

861. Notwithstanding section 66 of the Act respecting the application of the Taxation Act (chapter I-4), where the trustee of a trust governed by a profit sharing plan so elects before 1976, in prescribed manner, the trust is deemed to have disposed on 31 December 1971 of each property owned by the trust at that time and to have received proceeds therefrom equal to the fair market value thereof on such date and to have reacquired it for the same amount on 1 January 1972.

Such presumption shall be valid only if the trustee has, before 1976, allocated to the beneficiaries under the plan all the capital gains and capital losses resulting from such deemed dispositions.

1975, c. 22, s. 221; 1994, c. 22, s. 284.

862. Where the trustee of a trust governed by a profit sharing plan so elects in prescribed form and prescribed manner in a taxation year ending after 1973, the trust is deemed to have disposed, on the day indicated by the trustee, of any capital property owned by it and to have reacquired it immediately for proceeds or, as the case may be, at a cost equal to the amount, indicated by the trustee, situated between the adjusted cost base to the trust for the property on that day and its fair market value on the same day, or equal to such cost or such value.

If the trust was governed by a profit sharing plan on 31 December 1971, such election is valid only if the trustee has made the election referred to in section 861.

1975, c. 22, s. 221; 2001, c. 53, s. 179.

863. Where, in computing its income for a taxation year, a trust governed by a profit sharing plan has included a taxable dividend of a taxable Canadian corporation, the portion of the dividend allocated for the year to an employee who is a beneficiary of the plan is deemed to have been received by him as a taxable dividend of such corporation not exceeding the amount that would be included in computing his income for the year if the exception provided in section 859 did not refer to an allocation regarding a dividend received by a trust from a taxable Canadian corporation.

1972, c. 23, s. 648; 1977, c. 26, s. 92; 1997, c. 3, s. 71.

864. Where a person ceases at any time in a taxation year to be a beneficiary under a profit sharing plan and does not again become a beneficiary under the plan after that time and in the year, the person may deduct in computing his income for the year the amount determined by the formula

A − B − (C / 4) − D.

For the purposes of the formula in the first paragraph,

(a)  A is the aggregate of all amounts each of which is an amount included in computing the person’s income for the year or a preceding taxation year, other than an amount received before that time under the plan or an amount under the plan that the person is entitled at that time to receive, because of an allocation, other than an allocation to which section 860 applies, to the person made contingently under the plan before that time;

(b)  B is the portion of the amount that is included in the aggregate determined under subparagraph a because of the second paragraph of section 497;

(c)  C is the aggregate of all taxable dividends deemed to be received by the person because of an allocation under section 863 in respect of the plan; and

(d)  D is the aggregate of all amounts deductible under this section in computing the person’s income for a preceding taxation year because the person ceased to be a beneficiary under the plan in a preceding taxation year.

1972, c. 23, s. 649; 1995, c. 49, s. 192; 2001, c. 7, s. 134.

865. For the purposes of sections 772.2 to 772.13, if, in relation to a taxation year, a trust governed by a profit sharing plan designates, after 19 December 2006 and in accordance with paragraph a of subsection 8.1 of section 144 of the Income Tax Act (R.S.C. 1985, c. 1 (5th Suppl.)), an amount of income in respect of a particular employee who is a beneficiary under the plan, the lesser of that amount and the portion, described in section 866, of the income of the trust for the year from sources that are other than a business carried on by it and that are situated in a foreign country, is deemed to be, for the particular employee, income from such sources for the year.

Chapter V.2 of Title II of Book I applies in relation to a designation made under paragraph a of subsection 8.1 of section 144 of the Income Tax Act or in relation to a designation made under this section before 20 December 2006.

1972, c. 23, s. 650; 1973, c. 17, s. 103; 1995, c. 63, s. 95; 2009, c. 5, s. 373.

866. The portion of income to which the first paragraph of section 865 refers is the portion that is not deemed under that paragraph to be income of an employee other than the particular employee and that may reasonably be considered, having regard to the circumstances and terms of the trust arrangement, as being included in

(a)  an amount included under section 859 in computing the income of the particular employee; or

(b)  the amount by which the aggregate of every capital gain of the trust that is deemed to be a capital gain of the particular employee under section 860, exceeds the aggregate of every capital loss of the trust that is deemed to be a capital loss of the particular employee under that section.

1973, c. 17, s. 103; 2009, c. 5, s. 373.

867. For the purposes of sections 772.2 to 772.13, an employee who is a beneficiary under a profit sharing plan is deemed to have paid as non-business-income tax for a taxation year to the government of the country referred to in the first paragraph of section 865 or to the government of a political subdivision of that country, in respect of the income that is deemed for him under that section 865 to be income for the year from sources situated in that country, an amount equal to the proportion, determined under section 868, of the non-business-income tax, within the meaning of section 772.2, paid to that government for the year by the trust governed by the profit sharing plan.

1973, c. 17, s. 103; 1995, c. 63, s. 96; 2009, c. 5, s. 374.

868. The income tax payable by the employee contemplated by section 867 is the proportion thereof represented by the ratio between the income that the employee is deemed, under section 865, to have from sources situated in the foreign country and the income of the trust from such sources, except for income from a business it carries on therein.

1973, c. 17, s. 103.

869. (Repealed).

1977, c. 26, s. 93; 1989, c. 5, s. 157; 1995, c. 49, s. 193.

CHAPTER II COMPUTATION OF INCOME

2011, c. 6, s. 174.

869.3. No amount may be deducted in a taxation year by an employee life and health trust under paragraph a of section 657 if the trust

(a)  is not operated in the year in accordance with the terms required by section 869.2 to govern the trust, unless it is reasonable to conclude that its trustees neither knew nor ought to have known that designated employee benefits have been provided to, or contributions have been made in respect of, beneficiaries other than those described in subparagraphs i and ii of subparagraph d of the first paragraph of section 869.2; or

(b)  provides any benefit for which, if the benefit had been paid directly to the employee and not out of the trust, the contributions or premiums would not be deductible in computing an employer’s income in respect of any taxation year.

2011, c. 6, s. 174; 2022, c. 23, s. 74.

869.4. For the purpose of computing the income of an employer, the following rules apply:

(a)  the employer may deduct for a taxation year the portion of its contributions to an employee life and health trust made in the year that may reasonably be regarded as having been contributed to enable the trust to

i.  pay premiums to an insurance corporation that is licensed to provide insurance under the laws of Canada or a province for insurance coverage for the year or a preceding taxation year in respect of designated employee benefits for beneficiaries described in subparagraph i or ii of subparagraph d of the first paragraph of section 869.2, or

ii.  otherwise provide

(1)  group term life insurance as described in clause B of subparagraph iii of paragraph a of subsection 9 of section 18 of the Income Tax Act (R.S.C. 1985, c. 1 (5th Suppl.)), or

(2)  any designated employee benefits payable in the year or a preceding taxation year to, or for the benefit of, beneficiaries described in subparagraph i or ii of subparagraph d of the first paragraph of section 869.2; and

(b)  the portion of any contribution made to an employee life and health trust that exceeds the amount deductible under paragraph a and that may reasonably be regarded as enabling the trust to provide or pay benefits described in subparagraphs i and ii of paragraph a in a subsequent taxation year is deductible for that year.

2011, c. 6, s. 174; 2022, c. 23, s. 75.

869.5. For the purposes of section 869.4, if, in respect of an employer’s obligations to fund an employee life and health trust, a report has been prepared by an independent actuary, using accepted actuarial principles and practices, before the time of a contribution by the employer, the portion of the contribution that the report specifies to be the amount that the employee life and health trust is reasonably required to pay or incur in a taxation year in order to provide designated employee benefits to beneficiaries described in subparagraph i or ii of subparagraph d of the first paragraph of section 869.2 for a taxation year is, in the absence of evidence to the contrary, presumed to have been contributed to enable the trust to provide those benefits for the year.

2011, c. 6, s. 174; 2022, c. 23, s. 76.

869.6. Despite subsection 1 of section 175.1 and section 869.4, an employer may deduct in computing its income for a taxation year an amount that it is required to contribute for the year to an employee life and health trust if the following conditions are met at the time that the contribution is made:

(a)  (subparagraph repealed);

(b)  the employer contributes to the trust in accordance with a contribution formula that does not provide for any variation in contributions determined by reference to the financial experience of the trust and either of the following conditions is met:

i.  if there is a collective agreement, the trust provides benefits under

(1)  the collective agreement, or

(2)  a participation agreement that provides for benefits that are essentially the same as those provided for under the collective agreement, or

ii.  if there is no collective agreement, the trust provides benefits in accordance with an arrangement that meets the following conditions:

(1)  the agreement provides for a legal requirement for each employer to participate under the terms and conditions that govern the trust,

(2)  under the agreement, there are a minimum of 50 beneficiaries under the trust who are employees of the participating employers in respect of the trust, and

(3)  under the agreement, each employee who is a beneficiary under the trust deals at arm’s length with each participating employer in respect of the trust; and

(c)  contributions that are to be made by each employer are determined, in whole or in part, by reference to the number of hours worked by individual employees of the employer or some other measure that is specific to each employee with respect to whom contributions are made to the trust.

2011, c. 6, s. 174; 2022, c. 23, s. 77.

869.7. The amount deducted in a taxation year by an employer in computing its income in respect of contributions made to an employee life and health trust may not exceed the amount determined by the formula

A - B.

In the formula in the first paragraph,

(a)  A is the total of the contributions made by the employer to the trust in the year or in a preceding taxation year; and

(b)  B is the total of the amounts deducted by the employer in a preceding taxation year in respect of the contributions made by the employer to the trust.

2011, c. 6, s. 174.

869.8. If an employer issues a promissory note or provides other evidence of its indebtedness to an employee life and health trust in respect of its obligation to the trust, the following rules apply:

(a)  the issuance of the note or the provision of the evidence of indebtedness to the trust is not a contribution to the trust; and

(b)  a payment by the employer to the trust in full or partial satisfaction of its liability under the note or the evidence of indebtedness, whether stated to be of principal or interest or any other amount, is deemed to be an employer contribution to the trust that is subject to this Title and not a payment of principal or interest on the note or indebtedness.

2011, c. 6, s. 174.

869.9. For the purpose of determining whether an amount is deductible by an employer under section 869.4, if a trust was an employee life and health trust at the time that a promissory note or other evidence of indebtedness referred to in section 869.8 was issued or provided, the trust is deemed to be an employee life and health trust at each time that an employer contribution is deemed to be made under paragraph b of section 869.8 in respect of the note or other indebtedness.

2011, c. 6, s. 174.

869.10. For the purposes of section 43 and paragraph p of section 752.0.11.1, employee contributions to an employee life and health trust, to the extent that they are, and are identified by the trust at the time of contribution as, contributions in respect of a particular designated employee benefit, are deemed to be payments by the employee in respect of the particular designated employee benefit.

2011, c. 6, s. 174.

869.11. If a trust that is, or was, at any time, an employee life and health trust pays an amount as a distribution from the trust to any person in a taxation year, the amount of the distribution must be included in computing the person’s income for the year, except to the extent that the amount is

(a)  a payment of a designated employee benefit that is not included in computing the person’s income because of Chapters I and II of Title II of Book III; or

(b)  a distribution to another employee life and health trust that is a beneficiary of the employee life and health trust.

2011, c. 6, s. 174.

869.12. If contributions have been received by an employee life and health trust from more than one employer, the trust is deemed to be a separate trust established in respect of the property held for the benefit of beneficiaries described in subparagraph i or ii of subparagraph d of the first paragraph of section 869.2 in respect of a particular employer, if

(a)  the trustee makes a valid election under paragraph a of subsection 12 of section 144.1 of the Income Tax Act (R.S.C. 1985, c. 1 (5th Suppl.)); and

(b)  under the terms of the trust, contributions from the employer and the income derived from those contributions accrue solely for the benefit of those beneficiaries.

Chapter V.2 of Title II of Book I applies in relation to an election made under paragraph a of subsection 12 of section 144.1 of the Income Tax Act.

2011, c. 6, s. 174; 2022, c. 23, s. 78.

869.13. No non-capital loss is deductible by an employee life and health trust in computing its taxable income for a taxation year, except as provided by sections 727 and 727.1.

2011, c. 6, s. 174.

869.14. Section 869.15 applies in respect of a trust that has made a valid election under paragraph d of subsection 14 of section 144.1 of the Income Tax Act (R.S.C. 1985, c. 1 (5th Suppl.)).

Chapter V.2 of Title II of Book I applies in relation to an election to which the first paragraph refers.

2022, c. 23, s. 79.

869.15. Where the condition of section 869.14 is satisfied in respect of a trust, the following rules apply:

(a)  the trust is deemed for the purposes of this Part to be an employee life and health trust from the date referred to in paragraph d of subsection 14 of section 144.1 of the Income Tax Act (R.S.C. 1985, c. 1 (5th Suppl.)) until the earliest of

i.  the end of the year 2022,

ii.  the day that the trust satisfies the conditions of section 869.2, and

iii.  any day on which all or substantially all of the employee benefits provided by the trust are not designated employee benefits; and

(b)  at any time that the trust is an employee life and health trust because of paragraph a, the following rules apply in its respect:

i.  section 727.1 is to be read as if “of paragraph b” were inserted before “of section 869.3” in paragraph b, and

ii.  section 869.3 is to be read without reference to its paragraph a.

2022, c. 23, s. 79.

869.16. If a property is transferred from a trust (in this section referred to as the “transferor trust”) to an employee life and health trust (in this section referred to as the “receiving trust”) and a notice has been sent in that regard to the Minister of Revenue of Canada in accordance with subsection 16 of section 144.1 of the Income Tax Act (R.S.C. 1985, c. 1 (5th Suppl.)), the following rules apply:

(a)  the transferred property is deemed to have been disposed of by the transferor trust, and to have been acquired by the receiving trust, for an amount equal to the cost amount of the property to the transferor trust immediately before the disposition; and

(b)  section 690.2 does not apply in respect of the transfer.

Chapter V.2 of Title II of Book I applies in relation to a notice sent in accordance with subsection 16 of section 144.1 of the Income Tax Act as if the notice were an election made under that subsection 16.

2022, c. 23, s. 79.

869.17. Where section 869.16 applies in respect of the transfer of a property to an employee life and health trust, the transfer is not considered to be a contribution to the trust for the purposes of sections 869.4 and 869.6.

2022, c. 23, s. 79.

869.18. A trust is required, on or before its first filing-due date after 31 December 2021, to notify the Minister in the prescribed form that it is an employee life and health trust if

(a)  prior to 27 February 2018, it provided employee benefits all or substantially all of which are designated employee benefits;

(b)  after 26 February 2018, it becomes an employee life and health trust because it satisfies the conditions of section 869.2; and

(c)  sections 869.15 and 869.16 do not apply in respect of the trust.

2022, c. 23, s. 79.

2009, c. 5, s. 376.

889. (1)  An employer who contributes to a deferred profit sharing plan or a corporation with which he does not deal at arm’s length shall include, in computing his or its income for a taxation year, the amount or value of the funds or property of a trust governed by such a plan that are appropriated to or for his or its benefit in any manner whatever in that year.

2009, c. 15, s. 168.

905.0.15. The non-taxable portion of a disability assistance payment made at a particular time under a registered disability savings plan of a beneficiary is the lesser of the amount of the disability assistance payment and the amount determined by the formula

A × B / C + D

In the formula in the first paragraph,

(a)  A is the amount of the disability assistance payment;

(b)  B is the amount by which the aggregate of all amounts each of which is the amount of a contribution made before the particular time to any registered disability savings plan of the beneficiary exceeds the aggregate of all amounts each of which would be the non-taxable portion of a disability assistance payment made before the particular time under any registered disability savings plan of the beneficiary if the formula in the first paragraph were read without reference to D;

(c)  C is the amount by which the fair market value of the property held by the plan trust immediately before the disability assistance payment exceeds the assistance holdback amount in relation to the plan;

(d)  D is an amount in respect of which a holder of the plan pays a tax under section 207.05 of the Income Tax Act (R.S.C. 1985, c. 1 (5th Suppl.)) in relation to the plan, or another plan for which the plan was substituted by the holder, that

i.  has not been waived, cancelled or refunded, and

ii.  has not otherwise been used in the year or a preceding year in computing the non-taxable portion of a disability assistance payment made under the plan or another plan for which the plan was substituted.

2009, c. 15, s. 168; 2011, c. 6, s. 181; 2020, c. 16, s. 138.

905.0.16. An amount is transferred from a registered disability savings plan (in this section referred to as the “prior plan”) of a beneficiary in accordance with this section if

(a)  the amount is transferred directly to another registered disability savings plan (in this section referred to as the “new plan”) of the beneficiary;

(b)  the prior plan ceases to exist immediately after the transfer;

(c)  the issuer of the prior plan provides the issuer of the new plan with all information in its possession concerning the prior plan (other than information provided to the issuer of the new plan by the Minister responsible for the administration of the Canada Disability Savings Act (S.C. 2007, c. 35)) as may reasonably be considered necessary for compliance, in respect of the new plan, with the requirements of this Part and the issuer of the new plan confirms that it has in its possession all information provided by the issuer of the prior plan and by that Minister that is necessary for the purposes of paragraph c of subsection 8 of section 146.4 of the Income Tax Act (R.S.C. 1985, c. 1 (5th Suppl.)); and

(d)  if the beneficiary reached 59 years of age before the calendar year in which the transfer occurs, the issuer of the new plan undertakes to make—in addition to any other disability assistance payments that would otherwise have been made under the new plan in the year—one or more disability assistance payments under the plan in the year, the total of which is equal to the amount by which the total amount of disability assistance payments that would have been required to be made under the prior plan in the year if the transfer had not occurred exceeds the total amount of disability assistance payments made under the prior plan in the year.

2009, c. 15, s. 168; 2015, c. 21, s. 345.

905.0.17. An amount transferred in accordance with section 905.0.16 is not, solely because of that transfer, to be included in computing the income of a taxpayer.

2009, c. 15, s. 168.

CHAPTER IV NON-COMPLIANT PLAN

2009, c. 15, s. 168.

905.0.18. A registered disability savings plan is non-compliant, at any time, if at that time

(a)  it fails to comply with a condition set out in section 905.0.6;

(b)  there is a failure to administer the plan in accordance with its terms, other than those terms which the plan is required by subparagraph i of subparagraph a of the first paragraph of section 905.0.6 to stipulate; and

(c)  a person fails to comply with conditions or obligations imposed, with respect to the plan, under the Canada Disability Savings Act (S.C. 2007, c. 35), and the Minister responsible for that Act is of the opinion that it is appropriate that the plan be considered to be non-compliant because of the failure in accordance with paragraph c of subsection 11 of section 146.4 of the Income Tax Act (R.S.C. 1985, c. 1 (5th Suppl.)).

2009, c. 15, s. 168.

905.0.19. If, but for this section, a registered disability savings plan would be non-compliant at a particular time because of a failure described in paragraph a or b of section 905.0.18,

(a)  the Minister may waive the application of either paragraph with respect to the failure, if it is just and equitable to do so;

(b)  the Minister may deem the failure to have occurred at a later time;

(c)  if the failure consists of the making of a contribution that is prohibited under any of subparagraphs f to h of the first paragraph of section 905.0.6, an amount equal to the amount of the contribution has been withdrawn from the plan within such period as is specified by the Minister and the Minister has approved the application of this paragraph with respect to the failure, the following rules apply:

i.  the contribution is deemed never to have been made, and

ii.  the withdrawal is deemed not to be a disability assistance payment and not to be in contravention of the condition set out in subparagraph i of the first paragraph of section 905.0.6; or

(d)  if the failure consists of the plan not being terminated within the period specified in subparagraph p of the first paragraph of section 905.0.6 and was due either to the issuer not being aware of the circumstances under which the plan ceases to exist or to some uncertainty as to the existence of those circumstances, the Minister may specify a later date on or before which it is reasonable to consider that the plan ceases to exist in an orderly manner and, for the purposes of paragraphs a and b of section 905.0.18, subparagraph p of the first paragraph of section 905.0.6 and the plan terms are to be read as though they required the plan to cease to exist at the date so specified.

2009, c. 15, s. 168.

905.0.20. If, at a particular time, a registered disability savings plan is non-compliant under section 905.0.18, the following rules apply:

(a)  the plan ceases, at that particular time, to be a registered disability savings plan, other than for the purpose of applying, at that particular time, section 905.0.18 and this section;

(b)  a disability assistance payment is deemed to have been made under the plan at the time (in this section referred to as the “relevant time”) immediately before the particular time to the beneficiary under the plan or, if the beneficiary is deceased at the relevant time, to the beneficiary’s succession, the amount of which payment is equal to the amount by which the fair market value of the property held by the plan trust at the relevant time exceeds the assistance holdback amount in relation to the plan; and

(c)  if the plan is non-compliant because of a payment that is not in accordance with subparagraph j of the first paragraph of section 905.0.6, a disability assistance payment the amount of which is equal to the amount determined in the second paragraph and the non-taxable portion of which is deemed to be nil, is deemed to have been made under the plan at the relevant time—in addition to the payment deemed by subparagraph b to have been made—to the beneficiary under the plan or, if the beneficiary is deceased at the relevant time, to the beneficiary’s succession.

The amount to which subparagraph c of the first paragraph refers is equal to the amount by which the lesser of the assistance holdback amount in relation to the plan and the fair market value of the property held by the plan trust at the relevant time exceeds the fair market value of the property held by the plan trust immediately after the particular time.

2009, c. 15, s. 168.

905.0.21. The issuer of a registered disability savings plan shall,

(a)  if a person becomes a holder of the plan after the plan is entered into, so notify the Minister in the prescribed form containing prescribed information on or before the day that is 60 days after the day on which the issuer is notified that the person has become a holder of the plan or, if it is later, the day on which the issuer is provided with the new holder’s Social Insurance Number or business number;

(b)  not amend the plan before having received a written notice from the Minister that, in the Minister’s opinion, a plan whose terms are identical to the amended plan would, if entered into by a person eligible to enter into a disability savings plan, comply with the conditions set out in the first paragraph of section 905.0.6;

(c)  notify the Minister in writing on or before the day that is 30 days after the day on which the issuer becomes aware that the plan is, or is likely to become, non-compliant, as determined without reference to paragraph c of section 905.0.18 and section 905.0.19;

(d)  (paragraph repealed);

(e)  if the issuer enters into the plan with a qualifying family member who was a qualifying person in relation to the beneficiary under the plan at the time the plan (or another registered disability savings plan of the beneficiary) was entered into solely because of the application of paragraph c of the definition of “qualifying person” in the first paragraph of section 905.0.3,

i.  so notify the beneficiary under the plan without delay in writing and include in the notification information setting out the circumstances in which the holder of the plan may be replaced under section 905.0.3.1 or 905.0.3.2, and

ii.  collect and use any information provided by the holder of the plan that is relevant to the administration and operation of the plan.

Unless the Minister decides otherwise, an issuer is considered to have satisfied the obligation imposed under subparagraph b of the first paragraph in respect of the amended plan if the issuer has received, in relation to the plan, a notice from the Minister of National Revenue in accordance with paragraph a of subsection 2 of section 146.4 of the Income Tax Act.

2009, c. 15, s. 168; 2013, c. 10, s. 74; 2015, c. 21, s. 346; 2020, c. 16, s. 139.

iii.  all amounts each of which is a tax-paid amount in respect of the plan paid to the legal representative of the annuitant under the plan, to the extent that the legal representative would have been entitled to designate that tax-paid amount under section 930 if tax-paid amounts were not excluded in determining refunds of premiums;

(b)  B is the fair market value of the property of the plan at the particular time that is the later of the end of the first calendar year that begins after the death of the annuitant and the time immediately after the last time that any refund of premiums in respect of the plan is paid out of or under the plan;

(c)  C is the aggregate of all amounts paid out of or under the plan after the death of the annuitant and before the particular time; and

(d)  D is the lesser of the fair market value of the property of the plan at the time of the annuitant’s death and the aggregate of all amounts determined in respect of the plan under paragraphs b and c.

This section applies only if the legal representative and the spouse of the annuitant file with the Minister an election to that effect in prescribed form.

1979, c. 18, s. 68.

CHAPTER I INTERPRETATION

1979, c. 18, s. 68; 1988, c. 18, s. 91; 2000, c. 39, s. 104.

961.1.5. In this Title,

(a)  “property held” in connection with a retirement income fund means property held by the carrier of the fund, whether held by the carrier as trustee or beneficial owner thereof, the value of which, or the income or loss from which is relevant in determining the amount for a year payable to the annuitant under the fund;

(b)  “carrier” of a retirement income fund has the meaning assigned by subsection 1 of section 146.3 of the Income Tax Act (Revised Statutes of Canada, 1985, chapter 1, 5th Supplement);

(c)  “minimum amount” under a retirement income fund for a year means the amount determined under section 961.1.5.0.1 in respect of the fund for the year;

(c.1)  “designated benefit” of an individual in respect of a registered retirement income fund means the aggregate of

i.  such amounts paid out of or under the fund after the death of the last annuitant thereunder to the legal representative of that annuitant

(1)  as would, had they been paid under the fund to the individual, have been refunds of premiums within the meaning assigned by the first paragraph of section 908, if the fund were a registered retirement savings plan under which the date provided for the first payment of benefits was subsequent to the death, and

(2)  as are designated jointly by the legal representative and the individual on the prescribed form filed with the Minister; and

ii.  amounts paid out of or under the fund after the death of the last annuitant thereunder to the individual that would be refunds of premiums within the meaning assigned by the first paragraph of section 908 had the fund been a registered retirement savings plan under which the date provided for the first payment of benefits was subsequent to the death;

(d)  “annuitant” under a retirement income fund at any time means any of the following persons:

i.  the first individual to whom the carrier has undertaken to make the payments described in the definition of “retirement income fund” in subsection 1 of section 146.3 of the Income Tax Act out of or under the fund, where the first individual is alive at that time;

ii.  after the death of the first individual, a spouse, in this subparagraph referred to as the “surviving spouse”, of the first individual to whom the carrier has undertaken to make payments described in the definition of “retirement income fund” in subsection 1 of section 146.3 of the Income Tax Act out of or under the fund after the death of the first individual, where the surviving spouse is alive at that time and the undertaking was made pursuant to an election described in the said definition of the first individual or with the consent of the legal representative of the first individual; and

iii.  after the death of the surviving spouse, another spouse of the surviving spouse to whom the carrier has undertaken, with the consent of the legal representative of the surviving spouse, to make payments described in the definition of “retirement income fund” in subsection 1 of section 146.3 of the Income Tax Act out of or under the fund after the death of the surviving spouse, where that other spouse is alive at that time.

1988, c. 18, s. 92; 1991, c. 25, s. 140; 1994, c. 22, s. 291; 1995, c. 49, s. 213; 1996, c. 39, s. 245; 2000, c. 5, s. 215.

961.1.5.0.1. The amount to which paragraph c of section 961.1.5 refers in respect of a retirement income fund is equal to zero for the year in which the arrangement relating to the fund is made and, for each subsequent year, to the amount determined by the formula

(A × B) + C.

In the formula provided for in the first paragraph,

(a)  A is the fair market value of all properties held in connection with the fund at the beginning of the year, other than annuity contracts held by a trust governed by the fund that, at the beginning of the year, are not referred to in paragraph b.1 of the definition of “qualified investment” in subsection 1 of section 146.3 of the Income Tax Act (R.S.C. 1985, c. 1 (5th Suppl.));

(b)  B is

i.  where the first annuitant under the fund elected in respect of the fund under subparagraph ii of paragraph c of section 961.1.5, as it read before 1 January 1992, or under the first paragraph of section 961.4, as it read before 1 January 1986, to use the age of another individual, the prescribed factor for the year in respect of the other individual,

ii.  where subparagraph i does not apply and the first annuitant under the fund so elects before any payment has been made under the fund by the carrier, the prescribed factor for the year in respect of an individual who is the spouse of the first annuitant at the time of the election, and

iii.  in any other case, the prescribed factor for the year in respect of the first annuitant under the fund; and

(c)  C is, where the fund governs a trust, the aggregate of all amounts each of which is

i.  a periodic payment under an annuity contract held by the trust at the beginning of the year, other than an annuity contract referred to at the beginning of the year in paragraph b.1 of the definition of “qualified investment” in subsection 1 of section 146.3 of the Income Tax Act, that is paid to the trust in the year, or

ii.  if the periodic payment under an annuity contract described in subparagraph i is not made to the trust because the trust disposed of the right to that payment in the year, a reasonable estimate of that payment on the assumption that the annuity contract has been held by the trust throughout the year and no rights under the contract were disposed of in the year.

2000, c. 5, s. 216; 2009, c. 5, s. 385.

961.1.5.0.2. The minimum amount under a retirement income fund for the taxation year 2008 is 75% of the amount that would, but for this section, be the minimum amount under the fund for that year.

(a)  for the purposes of section 961.17.0.1, paragraph k of the definition of “remuneration” in section 1015R1 of the Regulation respecting the Taxation Act (chapter I-3, r. 1) and subparagraph a of the second paragraph of section 1015R21 of that regulation; or

(b)  if the individual who was the annuitant under the fund on 1 January 2008 reached 70 years of age in the year 2007.

2010, c. 5, s. 93.

961.1.5.0.3. The minimum amount under a retirement income fund for the taxation year 2020 is 75% of the amount that would, but for this section, be the minimum amount under the fund for that year.

The first paragraph does not apply in respect of a retirement income fund for the purposes of section 961.17.0.1, paragraph k of the definition of “remuneration” in section 1015R1 of the Regulation respecting the Taxation Act (chapter I-3, r. 1) and subparagraph a of the second paragraph of section 1015R21 of that regulation.

1982, c. 5, s. 170; 1988, c. 18, s. 98; 1991, c. 25, s. 143; 1995, c. 49, s. 214.

CHAPTER II CHANGE IN FUND AFTER REGISTRATION

1979, c. 18, s. 68; 1988, c. 18, s. 99.

961.9. Where a registered retirement income fund is revised or amended or a new fund is substituted therefor, and the fund as revised or amended or the new fund substituted therefor, as the case may be, in this section referred to as the “amended fund”, is deemed, under subsection 11 of section 146.3 of the Income Tax Act (Revised Statutes of Canada, 1985, chapter 1, 5th Supplement), not to be a registered retirement income fund for the purposes of the said Act, the following rules apply:

(a)  the amended fund is deemed, for the purposes of this Part, not to be a registered retirement income fund;

(b)  the individual who was the annuitant under the fund before it became an amended fund shall, in computing his income for the taxation year that includes that day, include as income received out of the fund at that time an amount equal to the fair market value of all the property held in connection with the fund immediately before that time.

961.13. Notwithstanding section 961.12, a trust governed by a registered retirement income fund shall pay tax under this Part on its taxable income for a taxation year

(a)  if it borrows money in the year or has borrowed money that it has not repaid before the commencement of the year, or

(b)  if it receives in the year a gift of property, other than property transferred in accordance with subparagraph i or ii of paragraph f of subsection 2 of section 146.3 of the Income Tax Act (Revised Statutes of Canada, 1985, chapter 1, 5th Supplement), or received such a gift of property in a preceding year and has not divested itself of that property or any property substituted therefor before the commencement of the year.

1979, c. 18, s. 68; 1995, c. 49, s. 216.

961.15.

961.16.

CHAPTER IV AMOUNTS TO BE INCLUDED

1979, c. 18, s. 68.

961.17. An individual shall include in computing his income for a taxation year an amount received by him in the year out of or under a registered retirement income fund, other than the portion of that amount that can reasonably be regarded as

(a)  part of the amount included in computing the income of another individual under section 961.17.1;

(b)  an amount received in respect of the income of the trust under the fund for a taxation year referred to in section 961.16.1;

(d)  an amount in respect of which the taxpayer pays a tax under Part XI.01 of the Income Tax Act (R.S.C. 1985, c. 1 (5th Suppl.)), unless the tax is waived, cancelled or refunded.

An amount transferred on behalf of an individual from a registered retirement income fund of an annuitant is not to be included in computing the income of a taxpayer, solely because of that transfer, where the amount is

(a)  an amount transferred as described in paragraph e of subsection 2 of section 146.3 of the Income Tax Act;

(b)  an amount transferred on behalf of an individual who is a spouse or former spouse of the annuitant and who is entitled to the amount under an order or judgment of a competent court, or under a written agreement, relating to a partition of property between the annuitant and the annuitant’s spouse or former spouse in settlement of rights arising out of, or on the breakdown of, their marriage, directly to

2022, c. 23, s. 88.

CHAPTER I DEFINITIONS

2022, c. 23, s. 88.

965.0.38. In this Title,

“advanced life deferred annuity” means a contract for the constitution of an annuity in respect of which the following conditions are met:

(a)  it is issued by a licensed annuities provider;

(b)  it specifies that it has been set up with the intention that it serve as an advanced life deferred annuity for the purposes of the Income Tax Act (R.S.C. 1985, c. 1 (5th Suppl.));

(c)  it provides for periodic annuity payments that

i.  commence to be paid no later than the end of the calendar year in which the annuitant attains 85 years of age, and

ii.  are payable for the life of the annuitant or, where the annuity is constituted for the benefit of the annuitant and the annuitant’s spouse jointly, for the life of the annuitant and, on the annuitant’s death, for the life of the spouse;

(d)  it provides that periodic annuity payments are payable in equal amounts, or in amounts that are not equal only because

i.  the payments are adjusted in whole or in part to reflect

(1)  increases in the Consumer Price Index, as published by Statistics Canada under the Statistics Act (R.S.C. 1985, c. S-19), or

(2)  increases at a rate specified in the contract, not exceeding 2% per year, or

ii.  the payments are reduced on the death of the annuitant or the death of the annuitant’s spouse;

(e)  where the annuity is constituted for the benefit of the annuitant and the annuitant’s spouse jointly and the annuitant dies before payments commence to be paid, it provides that the payments to the spouse must

i.  commence to be paid no later than the date that they would have commenced to be paid if the annuitant were alive, and

ii.  be adjusted in accordance with generally accepted actuarial principles if the payments commence to be paid before the date they would have commenced to be paid if the annuitant were alive;

(f)  it provides that the amount to be paid, if any, to one or more beneficiaries under the contract after the death of the annuitant — or, if the annuity is constituted for the benefit of the annuitant and the annuitant’s spouse jointly and the spouse outlives the annuitant, after the death of the spouse — must

i.  be paid as soon as practicable after the death of the annuitant or the death of the annuitant’s spouse, as the case may be, and

ii.  be equal to or less than the amount, if any, by which the total amount transferred to acquire the annuity exceeds the aggregate of all amounts each of which is an annuity payment made under the contract;

(g)  it provides that an amount transferred to acquire the annuity may be refunded, in whole or in part, provided that the refund is paid to reduce the amount of tax that would otherwise be payable by the annuitant under Part XI of the Income Tax Act and that

i.  the refund is paid to the annuitant, or

ii.  the refund is transferred directly to

(1)  the issuer, within the meaning of paragraph c of section 905.1, of a registered retirement savings plan of the annuitant,

(2)  the carrier, within the meaning of paragraph b of section 961.1.5, of a registered retirement income fund of the annuitant,

(3)  the administrator, within the meaning of section 965.0.19, of a pooled registered pension plan under which the annuitant is a member, within the meaning of that section, or

(4)  the administrator of a money purchase provision, within the meaning of section 965.0.1, of a registered pension plan under which the annuitant is a member, within the meaning of that section;

(h)  if it provides that the spouse may request a payment in a single amount in full or partial satisfaction of the spouse’s entitlement to payments described in subparagraph ii of paragraph c as a consequence of the death of the annuitant, the single amount must not exceed the present value (at the time it is paid) of the other payments that, because of the payment of that single amount, cease to be provided;

(i)  it provides that no right under the contract may be surrendered, assigned, charged, anticipated or given as security; and

(j)  it does not provide for any payment except as provided for in this definition;

“annuitant” means an individual who has acquired a contract for the constitution of an annuity from a licensed annuities provider;

“beneficiary”, under a contract for the constitution of an annuity, means an individual who has a right under the contract to receive a payment after the death of the annuitant or the annuitant’s spouse.

(a)  the aggregate of the expenses incurred by the Québec business investment company, in the course of the issue, at or before the time the renunciation is made and, where such is the case, the reasonable additional expenses it expects to incur after that time in the course of the share issue, and

(b)  15% of the aggregate of the proceeds of the share issue at or before the time the renunciation is made and, where such is the case, the additional proceeds the Québec business investment company expects to receive for the additional shares it intends to issue after that time as part of the share issue.

Where a Québec business investment company makes a qualified investment after 2 May 1991 wholly or partially out of the proceeds of a share issue referred to in the first paragraph, the portion of the amount, referred to in this paragraph as the “particular amount”, renounced by it under the first paragraph in respect of the share issue, represented by the proportion that the amount of such portion of the qualified investment as may reasonably be considered to have been made out of the proceeds of the share issue is of the amount by which the aggregate referred to in subparagraph b of the first paragraph in respect of the share issue exceeds the particular amount, is deemed, for the purposes of paragraph b.2 of section 965.29, to be attributable to the qualified investment.

Any renunciation made by a Québec business investment company under the first paragraph in respect of a share issue is valid only if it is made, in prescribed form, on or before the earlier of the last day of its fiscal period in which the share issue commenced and 31 December in the calendar year in which the share issue commenced.

(b)  on the other hand, only to the extent that the Québec business investment company has not deducted the expense in computing its income for any taxation year preceding the year in which the renunciation is made, has not been or cannot reasonably expect to be reimbursed for the expense, has not received or cannot reasonably expect to receive government assistance or non-government assistance, within the meanings assigned by the first paragraph of section 1029.6.0.0.1, in respect of the expense, and has not transferred to another person its right to such a reimbursement or such assistance.

The first paragraph applies during the period referred to in the first paragraph until the corporation has, in respect of each particular transaction and for an amount determined in section 965.109, made an issue of shares of its capital stock that meet the requirement of paragraph b of section 965.74 and are not qualifying shares or until shares of the capital stock of the corporation have been the subject, in respect of each particular transaction, of a transaction or operation or of a series of transactions or operations, for an amount determined in section 965.109, if, in the opinion of the Minister, it is reasonable to believe that the transaction or operation or the series of transactions or operations is equivalent to the issue of shares of the capital stock of the corporation that meet the requirement of that paragraph b.

The Minister may exercise the power provided for in the first paragraph, in particular, when shares of the capital stock of a corporation that are not described in section 965.108 are acquired by a person related to the corporation.

The first paragraph applies during the period referred to in the first paragraph until the corporation has, in respect of each particular transaction, made an issue of shares of its capital stock that meet the requirement of paragraph b of section 965.74 and are not qualifying shares or until the net shareholders’ equity of the corporation has been the subject, in respect of each particular transaction, of a transaction or operation or of a series of transactions or operations if, in the opinion of the Minister, it is reasonable to believe that the transaction or operation or the series of transactions or operations is equivalent to the issue of such shares of the capital stock of the corporation for an amount that is equal to or greater than the amount by which the net shareholders’ equity was modified.

Without restricting the generality of the preceding paragraphs, the Minister may render such a decision, in particular, when a corporation makes a large distribution of its surplus, except such a distribution in shares of its capital stock.

2006, c. 13, s. 80.

965.111. The share to which section 965.110 refers is

2006, c. 13, s. 80.

965.114. For the purposes of this Title, a corporation that plans to make a share issue that can be included in a stock savings plan II as qualifying shares, no share of the capital stock of which was issued with a stipulation that it could be included in such a plan nor was issued, as a result of a transaction referred to in section 541 or 544, other than a transaction referred to in section 555.1, in replacement of or substitution for a share issued with such a stipulation, and that makes before the date of the receipt for the final prospectus or of the exemption from filing a prospectus relating to its issue or has made a particular transaction referred to in the first paragraph of any of sections 965.105, 965.107 and 965.110, is not required to meet the requirement set out in the second paragraph of those sections, where applicable, in respect of the particular transaction, if the aggregate of the amounts by which its capital stock has been reduced as a result of the particular transaction and of any other transaction consisting of a particular transaction referred to in the first paragraph of those sections that is made during the period that begins on the three hundred and sixty-fourth day preceding the day of the particular transaction and ends immediately before the particular transaction is made is less than 10% of the amount of the share issue that the corporation plans to make.

In such a case, each new share so issued is deemed to be a qualifying share that was included in a stock savings plan II at the same time as the qualifying share that is split or replaced.

(1)  an amount that reduces, because of the disposition, the amount payable in respect of a policy loan in respect of the policy but, in the case where the policy is issued after 31 December 2016, the disposition is of a part of the interest and, if the particular time at which the policy is issued is determined under section 967.1, the disposition occurs at or after the particular time, only to the extent that the amount represents the portion of the loan applied, immediately after the loan, to pay a premium under the policy, as provided for under the terms and conditions of the policy,

(2)  a premium under the policy that is due but unpaid at that time, or

(3)  an amount applied, immediately after the time of the surrender, to pay a premium under the policy, as provided for under the terms and conditions of the policy;

967. For the purposes of sections 157.5, 968, 976 and 976.1,

(a)  a policyholder who, at any time, becomes entitled to receive under a life insurance policy, a particular amount as, on account or in lieu of payment of, or in satisfaction of, a policy dividend is deemed

i.  to have disposed of an interest in the policy at that time, and

ii.  to have become entitled to receive proceeds of the disposition of the interest equal to the amount by which

(1)  the particular amount exceeds

(2)  the part of the particular amount applied immediately after that time to pay a premium under the policy or to repay a policy loan under the policy, as provided for under the terms and conditions of the policy;

(b)  where in a taxation year, the holder of an interest in a life insurance policy or in an annuity contract dies or where the person whose life was insured or who was an annuitant under the contract or policy dies,

i.  the policyholder, where the policy was last acquired after 1 December 1982 and is not an exempt policy or an annuity contract, is deemed to dispose of his interest in the policy immediately before the death and the policyholder immediately after such death is deemed to have acquired the interest at a cost equal to the accumulating fund in respect of that interest, as determined in prescribed manner, immediately after the death; and

ii.  the holder of the contract, where the contract is neither a life annuity contract within the meaning of the regulations under section 966, entered into before 13 November 1981, nor a prescribed annuity contract is deemed to dispose of his interest in the contract immediately before the death and the holder of the contract immediately after the death is deemed to have acquired the interest at a cost equal to the accumulating fund in respect of that interest, as determined in prescribed manner, immediately after the death;

(c)  where a life insurance policy last acquired after 1 December 1982, or a life insurance policy to which section 92.17 applies by virtue of a prescribed increase of a death benefit under the policy, ceases to be an exempt policy, the policyholder is deemed to dispose of his interest in the policy at that time for proceeds of disposition equal to the accumulating fund with respect to the interest, as determined in prescribed manner, at that time and to reacquire the interest immediately after that time at a cost equal to such proceeds unless the policy ceased to be an exempt policy in consequence of the death of an individual whose life was insured under the policy or at a time when that individual was totally and permanently disabled;

(d)  a policyholder with an interest in a life insurance policy issued after 31 December 2016 that gives rise to an entitlement of the policyholder (as a policyholder, beneficiary or assignee, as the case may be) to receive all or a portion of an excess described in subparagraph iv is deemed, at a particular time, to dispose of a part of the interest and to be entitled to receive proceeds of the disposition equal to all or a portion of that excess, as the case may be, if

i.  the policy is an exempt policy,

ii.  a death benefit, within the meaning of section 92.11R1 of the Regulation respecting the Taxation Act (chapter I-3, r. 1), under a coverage, within the meaning of paragraph a of the definition of that expression in the first paragraph of that section 92.11R1, under the policy is paid at the particular time,

iii.  the payment referred to in subparagraph ii results in the termination of the coverage but not the policy, and

(1)  in the case where there is no policy anniversary, within the meaning of section 92.11R1 of that Regulation, before the date of death of the individual whose life is insured under the coverage, the amount that would be determined—on the policy anniversary that is on or that first follows that date of death, as the case may be, and as though the coverage were not terminated—in respect of the coverage under subparagraph 1 of subparagraph i of subparagraph b of the second paragraph of section 92.19R4 of that Regulation, or

(2)  in any other case, the amount that is determined—on the last policy anniversary before the date of death of the individual whose life is insured under the coverage—in respect of the coverage under subparagraph 1 of subparagraph i of subparagraph b of the second paragraph of section 92.19R4 of that Regulation as that subparagraph 1 applies in respect of subparagraph ii of subparagraph b of the first paragraph of section 92.19R1 of that Regulation.

(a)  if the life insurance policy is a term insurance policy, converted to permanent life insurance within the policy; or

(b)  added to the policy, if the insurance (other than insurance paid for with policy dividends or that is reinstated) is medically underwritten after 31 December 2016, other than to obtain a reduction in the premium or cost of insurance rates under the policy.

CHAPTER II COMPUTATION OF THE POLICYHOLDER’S INCOME AND ABATEMENT

1972, c. 23; 1984, c. 15, s. 224.

968. A policyholder must include in computing his income for a taxation year in respect of the disposition of an interest in a life insurance policy, the excess of the proceeds of disposition of such interest in the policy that the holder, beneficiary or assignee, as the case may be, of the policy becomes entitled to receive in the year over the adjusted cost basis, to the holder, of such interest immediately before the disposition.

For the purposes of the first paragraph, a life insurance policy does not include a policy that is, or is issued pursuant to, a registered pension plan, a pooled registered pension plan, a registered retirement savings plan, a deferred profit sharing plan, a registered retirement income fund, a tax-free savings account, a first home savings account, an income-averaging annuity contract, an income-averaging annuity contract respecting income from artistic activities, an annuity contract the cost of which is deductible by the holder under paragraph f of section 339 in computing the holder’s income, an annuity contract that is a qualifying trust annuity in relation to a taxpayer the cost of which is deductible under that paragraph f in computing the taxpayer’s income or an annuity contract that the holder acquired in circumstances to which subsection 21 of section 146 of the Income Tax Act (R.S.C. 1985, c. 1 (5th Suppl.)) applied.

1972, c. 23, s. 700; 1978, c. 26, s. 183; 1980, c. 13, s. 97; 1984, c. 15, s. 224; 1986, c. 19, s. 175; 1991, c. 25, s. 160; 1994, c. 22, s. 306; 1995, c. 49, s. 221; 2001, c. 53, s. 208; 2005, c. 23, s. 132; 2009, c. 15, s. 176; 2015, c. 21, s. 352; 2023, c. 19, s. 99.

968.1. A taxpayer must include in computing his income for a taxation year in respect of the disposition of an interest in a life insurance policy that is a policy referred to in section 968 and, which is a life annuity contract, within the meaning of the regulations under section 966 entered into after 16 November 1978 and before 13 November 1981, the amount by which a particular payment referred to in paragraph a of section 966 that he becomes entitled to receive in the year exceeds the amount that would be the adjusted cost basis to him of his interest in the policy immediately before the disposition if, for the purposes of sections 976 and 976.1, he were, in respect of that interest in the policy, the policyholder.

1980, c. 13, s. 98; 1984, c. 15, s. 224; 1986, c. 19, s. 176.

969. (Repealed).

1972, c. 23, s. 701; 1973, c. 17, s. 110; 1978, c. 26, s. 184.

970. Where the holder of a life insurance policy, other than an annuity contract, last acquired before 2 December 1982 becomes, under the terms of the policy, entitled to receive from the insurer, at any time before the death of the person insured under such policy, all of the proceeds payable at that time, other than policy dividends, under the policy in the form of an annuity contract or annuity payments, the following rules apply:

(a)  the payments shall be regarded as annuity payments made under an annuity contract;

(b)  the purchase price of the annuity contract is deemed to be the adjusted cost basis of the policy to the holder immediately before the first payment under that contract becomes payable; and

(c)  the annuity contract or annuity payments are deemed not to be the proceeds of disposition of an interest in the policy.

1972, c. 23, s. 702; 1984, c. 15, s. 225; 1986, c. 19, s. 177.

971. Where, at a particular time, a policyholder in a life insurance policy disposes in any manner whatever of the policyholder’s interest in the policy to a person with whom the policyholder is not dealing at arm’s length or disposes, by gift, by distribution from a corporation or by operation of law only, of the interest to a person, the following rules apply:

(a)  the policyholder is deemed thereupon to become entitled to receive, at the particular time, proceeds of disposition equal to the greatest of

i.  the value of the interest at the particular time,

ii.  if the particular time is after 21 March 2016, the greater of

(1)  the fair market value of the consideration given, if any, for the interest at the particular time, and

(2)  the adjusted cost basis to the policyholder of the interest immediately before the particular time, and

iii.  if the particular time is before 22 March 2016, an amount equal to zero;

(b)  the person to whom the disposition is made is deemed to acquire the interest, at the particular time, at a cost equal to the amount determined in accordance with subparagraph a, in respect of the disposition;

(c)  any contribution of capital to a corporation or partnership in connection with the disposition is deemed, to the extent that it exceeds the amount determined in accordance with subparagraph i of subparagraph a in respect of the disposition, not to result in a contribution of capital for the purpose of applying paragraphs e and i of section 255 at or after the particular time;

(d)  any contributed surplus of a corporation that arose in connection with the disposition is deemed, to the extent that it exceeds the amount determined in accordance with subparagraph i of subparagraph a in respect of the disposition, not to be contributed surplus for the purpose of applying section 504 at or after the particular time; and

(e)  if the particular time is before 22 March 2016,

i.  subparagraphs c and d apply only in respect of a disposition that occurs after 31 December 1999 and only if at least one person whose life was insured under the policy before 22 March 2016 is alive on that date, and subparagraphs c and d, where they apply in respect of the disposition, are to be read as if “the particular time” were replaced by “the beginning of 22 March 2016”, and

ii.  where any consideration given for the interest includes a share of the capital stock of a corporation, the share (or a share substituted for the share) is disposed of after 21 March 2016 by a taxpayer and section 517.2 applies in respect of the share disposition, then for the purpose of applying Chapter III.1 of Title IX of Book III, the adjusted cost base to the taxpayer of the share immediately before the share disposition is to be reduced by the amount determined by the formula

[A − (B × A / C)] / D.

In the formula in the first paragraph,

(a)  A is the aggregate of all amounts each of which is the fair market value at the particular time of a share of that capital stock given as consideration for the interest;

(b)  B is the greater of the amount determined under subparagraph i of subparagraph a of the first paragraph in respect of the disposition of the interest and the adjusted cost basis to the policyholder of the interest immediately before the disposition of the interest;

(c)  C is the fair market value at the particular time of the consideration given for the interest, if any; and

(d)  D is the total number of shares of that capital stock given as consideration for the interest.

However, the first paragraph does not apply in the case of a deemed disposition described in paragraph b of section 967.

971.1. Notwithstanding any other provision in this Title, where an interest in a life insurance policy other than an annuity contract has been transferred to the policyholder’s child for no consideration and a child of the policyholder or a child of the transferee is the person whose life is insured under the policy, the interest is deemed to have been disposed of by the policyholder for proceeds of disposition equal to the adjusted cost basis to the policyholder of the interest immediately before the transfer and the transferee is deemed to have acquired the interest at a cost equal to those proceeds.

1986, c. 15, s. 153; 1986, c. 19, s. 178; 1993, c. 16, s. 315.

971.2. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Title, where an interest of a policyholder in a life insurance policy, other than a policy referred to in the second paragraph of section 968, has been transferred to the policyholder’s spouse or a former spouse of the policyholder in settlement of rights arising out of their marriage, and both the policyholder and the transferee were resident in Canada at the time of the transfer, the interest is deemed to have been disposed of by the policyholder for proceeds of the disposition equal to the adjusted cost basis to the policyholder of the interest immediately before the transfer and to have been acquired by the transferee at a cost equal to those proceeds.

The first paragraph does not apply where the policyholder makes a valid election under subsection 8.1 of section 148 of the Income Tax Act (Revised Statutes of Canada, 1985, chapter 1, 5th Supplement) to have that subsection not apply in respect of the transfer.

1993, c. 16, s. 316; 1994, c. 22, s. 307; 1997, c. 85, s. 227.

971.3. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Title, where, as a consequence of the death of a policyholder who was resident in Canada immediately before the policyholder’s death, an interest in a life insurance policy, other than a policy referred to in the second paragraph of section 968, has been transferred or distributed to the policyholder’s spouse who was resident in Canada immediately before the policyholder’s death, the interest is deemed to have been disposed of by the policyholder immediately before the policyholder’s death for proceeds of the disposition equal to the adjusted cost basis to the policyholder of the interest immediately before the transfer and to have been acquired by the spouse at a cost equal to those proceeds.

The first paragraph does not apply where the policyholder makes a valid election under subsection 8.2 of section 148 of the Income Tax Act (Revised Statutes of Canada, 1985, chapter 1, 5th Supplement) to have that subsection not apply in respect of the transfer.

1993, c. 16, s. 316; 1997, c. 85, s. 228.

972. For the purposes of this Title, where all or part of the reserves of an insurer in respect of a life insurance policy vary with the fair market value of the assets of a segregated fund, the proceeds of disposition of an interest in the policy are deemed not to include the portion of such proceeds payable out of the segregated fund.

CHAPTER III COMPUTATION OF THE ADJUSTED COST BASIS

1972, c. 23; 1988, c. 18, s. 108.

976. In this Title and in sections 92.11 to 92.19, the adjusted cost basis to the holder of life insurance policy of his interest in the policy at a particular time means the amount by which the amount computed under section 976.1 is exceeded by the aggregate of:

(a)  the cost to him of each interest acquired by him in the policy before that particular time but not including an amount referred to in paragraph b or d;

(b)  the amounts paid before that particular time by him or on his behalf in respect of a premium under the policy, other than amounts referred to in subparagraph 3 of subparagraph i of paragraph b.4 of section 966, in subparagraph 1 of subparagraph ii of that subparagraph b.4 or in subparagraph 2 of subparagraph ii of paragraph a of section 967;

(d)  the amounts in respect of the repayment, before the particular time and after 31 March 1978, of a policy loan, without exceeding the amount determined under section 976.0.1;

(e)  the amount by which the cash surrender value of the policy as at its first anniversary date after 31 March 1977 exceeds the adjusted cost base, determined under the provisions of this Part which were then applicable but without taking sections 978 and 979 into account, of his interest in the policy on that anniversary date;

(f)  the amounts in respect of his interest in the policy that he included in computing his income for any taxation year ending before the particular time by virtue of section 92 or sections 92.11 to 92.19;

(g)  the amounts paid to him in respect of his interest in the policy to the extent to which prescribed tax was imposed on them before the particular time;

(h)  in the case of an interest in a life annuity contract, within the meaning of the regulations under section 966, to which section 92.11 applies for the taxation year that includes the particular time or would apply if the contract had an anniversary day in the year at a time when the taxpayer held the interest, all amounts each of which is a mortality gain, within the meaning of the regulations and determined by the issuer of the contract in accordance with the regulations, in respect of the interest immediately before the end of the calendar year ending in a taxation year commencing before the particular time; and

(i)  in the case of an interest in a life insurance policy, other than an annuity contract, to which section 971.3 applied before the particular time, all amounts each of which is a mortality gain, within the meaning of the regulations and determined by the issuer of the policy in accordance with the regulations, in respect of the interest immediately before the end of the calendar year that ended in a taxation year that began before the particular time.

1972, c. 23, s. 707; 1978, c. 26, s. 190; 1980, c. 13, s. 99; 1982, c. 5, s. 173; 1984, c. 15, s. 226; 1985, c. 25, s. 141; 1986, c. 19, s. 179; 1991, c. 25, s. 161; 1993, c. 16, s. 317; 1994, c. 22, s. 308; 1998, c. 16, s. 215; 2001, c. 53, s. 209; 2019, c. 14, s. 287.

976.0.1. The amount to which paragraph d of section 976 refers in respect of a policy loan referred to in that paragraph is determined by the formula

A − B.

In the formula in the first paragraph,

(a)  A is the aggregate of

i.  the proceeds of the disposition in respect of the loan,

ii.  if the policy is issued after 31 December 2016 and, in the case where the particular time at which the policy is issued is determined under section 967.1, the repayment is at or after the particular time, the portion of the loan applied, immediately after the loan, to pay a premium under the policy as provided for under the terms and conditions of the policy, except to the extent that the portion is described in subparagraph 1 of subparagraph i of paragraph b.4 of section 966, and

2019, c. 14, s. 288.

976.0.2. For the purposes of paragraph i of section 336 and sections 976 and 976.0.1, a particular amount is deemed to be a repayment made immediately before a particular time by a taxpayer in respect of a policy loan in respect of a life insurance policy if

(a)  the policy is issued after 31 December 2016;

(b)  the taxpayer disposes of a part of the taxpayer’s interest in the policy at the particular time;

(c)  subparagraph i of paragraph b.4 of section 966 applies to determine the proceeds of the disposition of the interest;

2019, c. 14, s. 288; 2021, c. 14, s. 114.

976.1. The amount that the holder of a life insurance policy shall subtract from the aggregate determined under section 976 is the aggregate of the following amounts:

1984, c. 15, s. 227; 1985, c. 25, s. 142; 1991, c. 25, s. 162; 1993, c. 16, s. 318; 1998, c. 16, s. 251; 2001, c. 53, s. 210; 2019, c. 14, s. 289; 2021, c. 14, s. 115.

976.2. The amount to which paragraph j of section 976.1 refers in respect of the termination of a coverage under a policy referred to in that paragraph is determined by the formula

[A × (B + C + D) / E] − F.

In the formula in the first paragraph,

(a)  A is the adjusted cost basis of the policyholder’s interest immediately before the termination;

(b)  B is the amount of the fund value of the policy, within the meaning of section 92.11R1 of the Regulation respecting the Taxation Act (chapter I-3, r. 1), paid in respect of the coverage, within the meaning of paragraph a of the definition of that expression in the first paragraph of section 92.11R1 of that Regulation, on the termination;

(c)  C is the aggregate of all amounts—each of which is an amount in respect of a coverage, within the meaning of paragraph b of the definition of that expression in the first paragraph of section 92.11R1 of the Regulation respecting the Taxation Act, in respect of a specific life or two or more specific lives jointly insured under the coverage referred to in paragraph j of section 976.1—that would be the present value, determined for the purposes of Division II of Chapter IV of Title XI of that Regulation, on the last policy anniversary, within the meaning of that section 92.11R1, on or before the termination, of the fund value of the coverage, within the meaning of that section 92.11R1, if the fund value of the coverage on that policy anniversary were equal to the fund value of the coverage on the termination;

(d)  D is the aggregate of all amounts—each of which is an amount in respect of a coverage, within the meaning of paragraph b of the definition of that expression in the first paragraph of section 92.11R1 of the Regulation respecting the Taxation Act (in this subparagraph referred to as a “particular coverage”) in respect of a specific life or two or more specific lives jointly insured under the coverage referred to in paragraph j of section 976.1—that, on the policy anniversary referred to in subparagraph c, would be determined under subparagraph c of the fourth paragraph of section 92.11R1.1 of that Regulation in respect of the particular coverage, if the death benefit under the particular coverage, and the fund value of the coverage, within the meaning of that section 92.11R1, on that policy anniversary were equal to the death benefit under the particular coverage and the fund value of the coverage, respectively, on the termination;

(e)  E is the amount that would be, on the policy anniversary referred to in subparagraph c, the net premium reserve, within the meaning of section 92.11R1 of the Regulation respecting the Taxation Act, determined in respect of the policy for the purposes of Division II of Chapter IV of Title XI of that Regulation, if the fund value benefit, within the meaning of that section 92.11R1, under the policy, the death benefit under each coverage, within the meaning of paragraph b of the definition of that expression in the first paragraph of that section 92.11R1, and the fund value of each coverage, within the meaning of that section 92.11R1, on that policy anniversary were equal to the fund value benefit, the death benefit under each coverage and the fund value of each coverage, respectively, under the policy on the termination; and

(f)  F is the amount determined under section 977.1 in respect of a disposition before that time of the interest because of paragraph d of section 967 in respect of the payment in respect of the fund value benefit under the policy paid in respect of the coverage, within the meaning of paragraph a of the definition of that expression in the first paragraph of section 92.11R1 of the Regulation respecting the Taxation Act, on the termination.

2019, c. 14, s. 290; 2021, c. 14, s. 116.

977. In computing the adjusted cost basis of a policy to a policyholder, where all or any part of the reserves of an insurer in respect of the life insurance policy vary with the fair market value of the property of a segregated fund, the following rules apply:

(a)  an amount paid by the policyholder or on his behalf as premiums under the policy or to acquire an interest therein is deemed not to be so paid to the extent that the insurer uses such amount to acquire property for the purposes of the segregated fund; and

(b)  any transfer by the insurer of property derived from the segregated fund that results in an increase in the portion of its reserves in respect of the policy that do not vary with the fair market value of the property of the fund is deemed to be a premium paid by the policyholder under the policy.

1972, c. 23, s. 708; 1986, c. 19, s. 180; 1996, c. 39, s. 273.

977.1. Where a taxpayer disposes of a part of the taxpayer’s interest in an annuity contract or a life insurance policy (other than such a contract) last acquired after 1 December 1982, the adjusted cost basis to the taxpayer, immediately before the disposition, of the part is equal to the amount determined by the formula

A × B/C.

In the formula in the first paragraph,

(a)  A is the adjusted cost basis to the taxpayer of the taxpayer’s interest immediately before the disposition;

(b)  B is the proceeds of the disposition; and

(c)  C is

i.  if the policy is a policy (other than an annuity contract) issued after 31 December 2016, the amount determined by the formula

D – E, and

ii.  in any other case, the accumulating fund with respect to the taxpayer’s interest, as determined in prescribed manner, immediately before the disposition.

In the formula in subparagraph c of the second paragraph,

(a)  D is the interest’s cash surrender value immediately before the disposition; and

(b)  E is the aggregate of all amounts each of which is an amount payable, immediately before the disposition, by the taxpayer in respect of a policy loan in respect of the policy.

The first paragraph does not apply, however, if the disposition is a policy loan granted after 31 March 1978 in respect of the policy or is a deemed disposition under paragraph a of section 967.

1984, c. 15, s. 228; 1986, c. 19, s. 181; 2001, c. 53, s. 211; 2019, c. 14, s. 291.

977.2. If a policyholder has after 20 March 2013 and before 1 April 2014 disposed of an interest in a leveraged insurance policy because of a partial or complete surrender of the policy, the policyholder may deduct in computing the policyholder’s income for the taxation year in which the disposition occurs an amount that does not exceed the least of

(a)  the portion of an amount, included under section 968 in computing the policyholder’s income for the year in respect of the disposition, that is attributable to an investment account described in paragraph b of the definition of “leveraged insurance policy” in section 1 in respect of the policy;

(b)  the aggregate of all amounts each of which is an amount, to the extent that the amount has not otherwise been included in determining an amount under this paragraph, of a payment made after 20 March 2013 and before 1 April 2014 that reduces the amount outstanding of a borrowing or policy loan, as the case may be, described in paragraph a of the definition of “leveraged insurance policy” in section 1 in respect of the policy; and

(c)  the aggregate of all amounts each of which is an amount, to the extent that the amount has not otherwise been included in determining an amount under this paragraph, that the policyholder is entitled to receive as a result of the disposition and that is paid after 20 March 2013 and before 1 April 2014 out of an investment account described in paragraph b of the definition of “leveraged insurance policy” in section 1 in respect of the policy.

CHAPTER II TEMPORARY SUSPENSION OF THE AUTHORITY TO ISSUE RECEIPTS

2012, c. 8, s. 172.

999.3. The Minister may give notice by registered mail to a person that is a municipality referred to in paragraph a of the definition of “qualified donee”, provided it is a Québec municipality, or that is a person referred to in any of paragraphs b to g of that definition, such a person being referred to as a “donee” in this chapter, that the authority of the person to issue receipts in accordance with the regulations is suspended for one year from the eighth day after the notice is mailed if

(a)  the donee contravenes any of the provisions of Division V of Chapter III of the Tax Administration Act (chapter A-6.002);

(b)  it may reasonably be considered that the donee has acted, in concert with another donee that is the subject of a suspension under this Book, to accept a gift or transfer of property on behalf of that other donee;

(c)  an ineligible individual is a director, trustee, officer or like official of the donee, or controls or manages the donee, directly or indirectly, in any manner whatever, unless the donee is a municipality or a registered journalism organization;

(d)  where the donee is a registered charity, a registered Canadian amateur athletic association or a registered Québec amateur athletic association, the donee devotes any part of its resources to the direct or indirect support of, or opposition to, any political party or candidate for public office;

(e)  (subparagraph repealed);

(f)  (subparagraph repealed);

(g)  where the donee is a registered charity, a false statement, within the meaning assigned by the first paragraph of section 1049.0.3, was made in circumstances amounting to culpable conduct, within the meaning assigned by that first paragraph, in the furnishing of information for the purpose of maintaining its registration.

For the purposes of the first paragraph, “ineligible individual” has the meaning assigned by paragraph h of section 985.1 where the donee is a registered charity, a registered Canadian amateur athletic association or a registered Québec amateur athletic association, and, in any other case, has the meaning that would be assigned by that paragraph h, if that paragraph applied to the donee, with the necessary modifications.

2012, c. 8, s. 172; 2013, c. 10, s. 88; 2021, c. 18, s. 87; 2021, c. 36, s. 98.

999.3.1. Where a registered charity, a registered Canadian amateur athletic association, a registered Québec amateur athletic association or a registered journalism organization fails to provide information in a prescribed form filed under section 985.22, 985.23.7 or 985.26.2, as the case may be, the Minister may give notice by registered mail to the charity, association or organization that its authority to issue a receipt in accordance with the regulations is suspended as of the eighth day that follows the day on which the notice is sent until such time as the Minister notifies the charity, association or organization that the Minister has received the required information in prescribed form.

2013, c. 10, s. 89; 2021, c. 18, s. 88.

999.4. Subject to section 93.1.9.2 of the Tax Administration Act (chapter A-6.002), the following rules apply if the Minister has issued a notice to a donee in accordance with section 999.3 or 999.3.1:

(a)  the donee is deemed, in respect of gifts made and property transferred to the donee within the one-year period that begins on the day that is seven days after the notice is mailed, not to be a qualified donee for the purposes of sections 710 and 752.0.10.1 and the Regulation respecting the Taxation Act (chapter I-3, r. 1); and

(b)  if the donee is, during that period, offered a gift from any person, the donee shall, before accepting the gift, inform that person that it has received the notice that no deduction under any of sections 710 and 752.0.10.6 to 752.0.10.6.2 may be claimed in respect of a gift made to it in the period, and that a gift made in the period is not a gift to a qualified donee.

2012, c. 8, s. 172; 2013, c. 10, s. 90; 2015, c. 21, s. 356.

999.5. If the authority of a qualified donee to issue receipts is suspended for the purposes of the Income Tax Act (R.S.C. 1985, c. 1 (5th Suppl.)) under any of subsections 1 to 2.1 of section 188.2 of that Act, the authority is deemed to be suspended for the purposes of this Act and the regulations, subject to a postponement of the period of suspension under subsection 4 of that section 188.2.

Such determination is binding on both the Minister and the taxpayer for the purposes of calculating the taxable income of the taxpayer in any other year, subject to the taxpayer’s rights of objection, contestation and appeal in respect of the determination and subject to any redetermination by the Minister.

The Minister may make a determination under the first paragraph within three years after the day that is the later of

(a)  the day on or before which a member of a partnership is required under section 1086R78 of the Regulation respecting the Taxation Act (chapter I-3, r. 1) to file an information return for the fiscal period; and

(b)  the day on which the information return referred to in subparagraph a is filed.

2000, c. 5, s. 238.

1007.3. No determination made by the Minister under section 1007.1 in respect of a partnership for a fiscal period is invalid solely because one or more persons who were members of the partnership during the fiscal period did not receive a notice of the determination.

2000, c. 5, s. 238.

1007.4. Where the Minister makes a determination under section 1007.1 or a redetermination in respect of a partnership, the following rules apply:

(a)  subject to the rights of objection, contestation and appeal of the member of the partnership referred to in section 93.1.1.1 of the Tax Administration Act (chapter A-6.002) in respect of the determination or redetermination, as the case may be, the determination or redetermination is binding on the Minister and each member of the partnership for the purpose of calculating the income, taxable income or taxable income earned in Canada of, tax or other amount payable by, or any amount refundable to or deemed to have been paid or to have been an overpayment by, the members for any taxation year under this Part; and

(b)  despite section 1007 and sections 1010 to 1011, the Minister may, before the end of the day that is one year after the day on which all rights of objection, contestation and appeal expire or are determined in respect of the determination or redetermination, determine the tax, interest, penalties or other amounts payable and determine an amount deemed to have been paid or to have been an overpayment under this Part in respect of any member of the partnership and any other taxpayer for any taxation year as may be necessary to give effect to the determination or redetermination or a final judgment of the Court of Québec, the Court of Appeal or the Supreme Court of Canada.

1007.5. Where, as a result of representations made to the Minister that a person was a member of a partnership for a fiscal period of the partnership, a determination is made under section 1007.1 in respect of the fiscal period and the Minister or, as part of a final judgment, the Court of Québec, the Court of Appeal or the Supreme Court of Canada concludes at a subsequent time that the partnership did not exist for the fiscal period or that, throughout the fiscal period, the person was not a member of the partnership, the Minister may, notwithstanding sections 1007 and 1010 to 1011, within one year after that subsequent time, assess the tax, interest, penalties or other amounts payable, or determine an amount deemed to have been paid or to have been an overpayment under this Part, by any taxpayer for any taxation year, but only to the extent that the assessment or determination can reasonably be regarded

(a)  as relating to any matter that was relevant in the making of the determination made under section 1007.1;

(b)  as resulting from the conclusion that the partnership did not exist for the fiscal period; or

(c)  as resulting from the conclusion that the person was, throughout the fiscal period, not a member of the partnership.

2000, c. 5, s. 238.

1007.6. A waiver in respect of the period during which the Minister may make a determination under section 1007.1 in respect of a partnership for a fiscal period may be made by one member of the partnership if that member is

(b)  otherwise expressly authorized by the partnership to so act.

2013, c. 10, s. 93.

1008. After examination of a fiscal return, the Minister shall send a notice of assessment to the person by whom the fiscal return was filed.

1972, c. 23, s. 738; 2000, c. 5, s. 239.

1009. Liability for the tax is not affected by an incorrect or incomplete assessment or by the fact that no assessment has been made.

1972, c. 23, s. 739.

1010. (1)  The Minister may at any time determine the tax, interest and penalties payable under this Part, or give notice in writing to any taxpayer who filed a fiscal return for a taxation year that no tax is payable for that taxation year.

(2)  The Minister may also redetermine the tax, interest and penalties payable under this Part and make a reassessment or an additional assessment, as the case may be,

(a)  within three years after the day of sending of an original assessment or of a notice that no tax is payable for a taxation year or the day on which a fiscal return for the taxation year is filed, whichever is later;

(a.0.1)  within four years after the later day referred to in paragraph a if, at the end of the taxation year concerned, the taxpayer is a mutual fund trust or a corporation other than a Canadian-controlled private corporation;

(a.1)  within six years after the later day referred to in paragraph a or, in the case of a taxpayer referred to in paragraph a.0.1, within seven years after that day, where

i.  a redetermination of the taxpayer’s tax by the Minister is required in accordance with section 1012 or 1012.2 or would have been required if the taxpayer had claimed an amount under that section within the prescribed time limit,

ii.  as a consequence of a redetermination of another taxpayer’s tax in accordance with this paragraph or section 1012, there is reason to redetermine the taxpayer’s tax for any relevant taxation year,

iii.  a redetermination of the taxpayer’s tax would be made by the Minister, but for the expiration of the time limit prescribed in paragraph a, as a consequence of an additional payment of any income or profits tax to, or a reimbursement of any such tax by, the government of a foreign country or a political subdivision of a foreign country,

iv.  a redetermination of the taxpayer’s tax is required to be made as a consequence of a reduction under section 359.15 of an amount purported to be renounced by the corporation under any of the sections referred to in that section,

vi.1.  a redetermination of the taxpayer’s tax is required to be made in respect of any income, loss or other amount in relation to a foreign affiliate of the taxpayer,

vii.  a redetermination of the taxpayer’s tax is required to be made, if the taxpayer is not resident in Canada and carries on a business in Canada, as a consequence of an allocation by the taxpayer of revenues or expenses as amounts in respect of the Canadian business, other than revenues or expenses that relate solely to the Canadian business, that are recorded in the books of account of the Canadian business, and the documentation in support of which is kept in Canada, or a notional transaction between the taxpayer and its Canadian banking business, where the transaction is recognized for the purposes of the computation of an amount under this Act or an applicable tax agreement; or

viii.  a redetermination of the taxpayer’s tax is required to give effect to the application of any of Chapters VI to VI.2 of Title X of Book III; and

(a.1.1)  within nine years after the later day referred to in paragraph a or, in the case of a taxpayer referred to in paragraph a.0.1, within ten years after that day, where

i.  a redetermination of the taxpayer’s tax was required to be made by the Minister in accordance with section 1012, or should have been so made if the taxpayer had claimed an amount under that section within the prescribed time limit, in order to take into account a deduction claimed under sections 727 to 737 in respect of a loss for a subsequent taxation year,

ii.  a redetermination of the taxpayer’s tax was made, or a notification that no tax is payable was issued to the taxpayer, for the subsequent taxation year referred to in subparagraph i, after the period referred to in paragraph a or a.0.1 of subsection 2 in respect of the subsequent taxation year as a consequence of a transaction involving the taxpayer and a person not resident in Canada with whom the taxpayer was not dealing at arm’s length, and

i.  has made a misrepresentation that is attributable to negligence or wilful default or has committed any fraud in filing the return or in supplying any information provided for in this Part, or

ii.  has filed with the Minister a waiver in the prescribed form.

(2.1)  In addition, the Minister may redetermine the tax, interest and penalties payable by the taxpayer under this Part for a taxation year for which tax consequences under this Part result from the fact that a redetermination of the taxpayer’s tax must be made by the Minister in accordance with section 1012, as a consequence of the application of paragraph g or h of section 1012.1, in relation to a taxation year referred to in the first or second paragraph of section 1012.1.1, and, despite paragraph a.1 of subsection 2, make a reassessment or an additional assessment beyond the period referred to in that paragraph a.1.

(3)  However, the Minister may, under any of paragraphs a.1 to a.3 of subsection 2 or subsection 2.1, make a reassessment or an additional assessment beyond the period referred to in paragraph a or a.0.1 of subsection 2 only to the extent that the reassessment or additional assessment may reasonably be regarded as relating to the tax redetermination referred to in that paragraph a.1 or subsection 2.1, to the reduction referred to in subparagraph iii of that paragraph a.1.1, to the claim or deduction referred to in that paragraph a.2 or to any transaction, or series of transactions, to which the tax treatment, within the meaning of section 1079.8.15.2, that is an uncertain tax treatment referred to in paragraph a.3 of subsection 2, relates, as the case may be.

1010.0.0.1. Despite the expiry of the time limits provided for in section 1010, if a taxpayer has deducted, or is a member of a partnership that has deducted, in respect of a property described in the second paragraph, an amount in computing income under paragraph a of section 130 or the second paragraph of section 130.1 for a taxation year or a fiscal period, as the case may be, ending before all the conditions applicable to the property and set out in the third paragraph have been met, and, in a subsequent taxation year or fiscal period, an event occurs that results in any of those conditions not being able to be met, the following rules apply:

(a)  the Minister may, at any time, but for the amended fiscal return that the taxpayer is required to file under section 1000.2 or 1000.3, redetermine the tax, interest and penalties payable under this Part by the taxpayer for any taxation year for which tax consequences under this Part arise from the fact that, in the case of a property described in subparagraph a of the second paragraph, the property cannot be included in the class provided for in that subparagraph or, in the case of a property described in subparagraph b of the second paragraph, the property does not meet all the conditions prescribed for the purposes of subparagraph b of the third paragraph; and

(b)  the Minister may also redetermine the tax, interest and penalties payable under this Part and make a reassessment or an additional assessment, as the case may be,

i.  within three years after the later of the day of sending, pursuant to subparagraph a, of a notice of assessment for a taxation year or of a notice that no tax is payable for a taxation year and the day on which an amended fiscal return for the taxation year is filed pursuant to section 1000.2 or 1000.3, or

ii.  within four years after the day referred to in subparagraph i if, at the end of the taxation year concerned, the taxpayer is a mutual fund trust or a corporation other than a Canadian-controlled private corporation.

The property to which the first paragraph refers is

(a)  a property in Class 12 of Schedule B to the Regulation respecting the Taxation Act (chapter I-3, r. 1) because of subparagraph t of the first paragraph of that class or of the second or fourth paragraph of that class; or

(b)  a prescribed property.

The conditions to which the first paragraph refers are

(a)  in the case of a property described in subparagraph a of the second paragraph, the conditions of subparagraph t of the first paragraph of Class 12 of Schedule B to the Regulation respecting the Taxation Act or of the second or fourth paragraph of that class; or

(b)  in the case of a property described in subparagraph b of the second paragraph, the prescribed conditions.

However, the Minister may, in respect of a taxation year for which tax consequences under this Part arise from the fact that the property cannot be so included in a class, make an assessment, a reassessment or an additional assessment beyond the periods referred to in paragraph a or a.0.1 of subsection 2 of section 1010 only to the extent that the assessment, reassessment or additional assessment may reasonably be considered to relate to a tax consequence referred to in section 1000.2 or 1000.3.

1999, c. 83, s. 164; 2004, c. 4, s. 10; 2004, c. 21, s. 246; 2011, c. 1, s. 50; I.N. 2016-01-01 (NCCP).

1010.0.0.2. Despite the expiry of the time limits provided for in section 1010, where a taxpayer, other than a real estate investment trust within the meaning of the first paragraph of section 1129.70, or a partnership of which the taxpayer is a member, directly or indirectly through one or more partnerships, disposes, in a taxation year or a fiscal period that ends in a taxation year, as the case may be, of immovable property, where the property is, in the case where the disposition is made by a corporation or a partnership, capital property of the corporation or partnership and where any of the failures provided for in the second paragraph occurs, the Minister may, subject to the third paragraph, redetermine the taxpayer’s tax, interest and penalties for the year under this Part that arise from that failure and make a reassessment or an additional assessment, provided the reassessment or additional assessment is made before the end of the three-year period that begins on the day on which the following documents are filed:

(a)  where the immovable property is referred to in section 274 or 274.0.1, the prescribed form containing prescribed information referred to in the fifth paragraph of section 274 or 274.0.1, as the case may be, and the taxpayer’s amended fiscal return for the year in which the disposition of the property is reported;

(b)  where the disposition is made by the taxpayer and subparagraph a does not apply, the taxpayer’s amended fiscal return for the year in which the disposition is reported; or

(c)  where the disposition is made by the partnership, the amended information return, for its fiscal period that ends in the year, in which the disposition is reported, and the taxpayer’s amended fiscal return for the year.

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

(a)  where the disposition is made by the taxpayer and the property is referred to in section 274 or 274.0.1, the taxpayer fails to send the prescribed form containing prescribed information provided for in the fifth paragraph of section 274 or 274.0.1, as the case may be, or to report the disposition in the fiscal return the taxpayer is required to file under section 1000 for the year;

(b)  where the disposition is made by the taxpayer and subparagraph a does not apply, the taxpayer fails to report the disposition in the fiscal return the taxpayer is required to file under section 1000 for the year; or

(c)  where the disposition is made by the partnership, the disposition is not reported in the information return required to be filed under section 1086R78 of the Regulation respecting the Taxation Act (chapter I-3, r. 1) for its fiscal period that ends in the year.

However, the Minister may, under this section, make a reassessment or an additional assessment beyond the period referred to in paragraph a or a.0.1 of subsection 2 of section 1010 only to the extent that the reassessment or additional assessment may reasonably be considered to relate to the failure referred to in the first paragraph.

2021, c. 14, s. 118.

1010.0.1. Notwithstanding the expiry of the time limits provided for in section 1010, where a reassessment must be made for a particular taxation year, the Minister may redetermine the tax, interest and penalties and make a reassessment for a subsequent taxation year, but only for the purpose of making an adjustment consequential upon the reassessment in respect of the particular taxation year.

Such a reassessment may or, where the taxpayer so requests in writing, shall be made on or before the day that is either one year after the day on which all rights of objection to the reassessment in respect of the particular taxation year expire or one year after the day a decision relating to the particular year is rendered following an objection, contestation or appeal.

1994, c. 22, s. 315; 1996, c. 31, s. 2; 1997, c. 85, s. 236; 2000, c. 39, s. 119; 2020, c. 12, s. 148.

Notwithstanding the expiration of the time limits provided for in section 1010, where a taxpayer is the subject of an assessment or reassessment made under the Income Tax Act (Revised Statutes of Canada, 1985, chapter 1, 5th Supplement), the Minister may, within one year after the date of that assessment, redetermine the tax, interest and penalties payable by the taxpayer and make a reassessment for the sole purpose of taking into account elements that may be considered to relate to that assessment or reassessment.

1997, c. 86, s. 2; 1999, c. 83, s. 165.

1010.0.3. Notwithstanding the expiration of the time limits provided for in section 1010, where a taxpayer is the subject of an assessment or reassessment by a province other than Québec under an Act that is similar to this Act, the Minister may, within one year after the date of that assessment, redetermine the tax, interest and penalties payable by the taxpayer and make a reassessment for the sole purpose of taking into account elements that may be considered to relate to that assessment or reassessment.

1999, c. 83, s. 166.

1010.0.4. Despite the expiration of the time limits provided for in section 1010, if section 766.2 or 1029.8.50 applied in respect of an individual for a particular taxation year, in relation to an eligible taxation year of the individual, the Minister may redetermine the tax, interest and penalties payable by the individual for the particular taxation year or the amount deemed to have been paid under section 1029.8.50 on account of the individual’s tax payable for that particular year, as the case may be, and make a reassessment for that particular year for the sole purpose of taking into account elements that may be considered to relate to an assessment, reassessment or notice that no tax is payable in relation to that eligible taxation year.

2005, c. 38, s. 231; I.N. 2016-01-01 (NCCP).

1010.1. Where the Minister would, but for this section, be entitled by virtue only of the filing of a waiver referred to in subparagraph ii of paragraph b of subsection 2 of section 1010, to redetermine the tax, interest or penalties payable under this Part, and to make a reassessment or an additional assessment, as the case may be, the Minister may not make such redetermination, reassessment or additional assessment after the day that is six months after the date on which a notice of revocation of the waiver is filed with the Minister in the prescribed form and in duplicate, by registered mail.

1986, c. 15, s. 172; 1999, c. 83, s. 273; 2010, c. 31, s. 88; 2011, c. 34, s. 63.

1011. For the purposes of paragraph b of subsection 2 of section 1010, the Minister shall not, in computing the income of a taxpayer upon a reassessment or additional assessment made after the expiry of the time limits provided for in paragraphs a to a.2 of that subsection 2, include any amount other than an amount

(a)  that can reasonably be regarded as having been the subject of a waiver referred to in subparagraph ii of paragraph b of subsection 2 of section 1010, unless the taxpayer establishes otherwise, or

(b)  in respect of which the failure to include it in computing income resulted from misrepresentation attributable to negligence or wilful default or from fraud, on the part of the taxpayer, in filing the fiscal return or in supplying information under this Part, unless the taxpayer establishes otherwise.

1972, c. 23, s. 741; 1982, c. 5, s. 180; 1996, c. 31, s. 3; 2000, c. 5, s. 241; 2015, c. 24, s. 131.

1012. If a taxpayer has filed for a taxation year the fiscal return required by section 1000 and an amount referred to in section 1012.1 is subsequently included in computing the taxpayer’s taxable income, claimed as a deduction or deemed to be paid under Chapter III.1 of Title III, as the case may be, by or on behalf of the taxpayer for the taxation year by filing with the Minister, on or before the taxpayer’s filing-due date for the subsequent taxation year in respect of that amount, a prescribed form amending the fiscal return for the taxation year, the Minister shall, for any relevant taxation year, other than a taxation year preceding the taxation year, determine the amount deemed to be paid by the taxpayer or redetermine the taxpayer’s tax or the amount deemed to be paid by the taxpayer, as the case may be, to take into account the amount so included in computing the taxpayer’s taxable income, claimed as a deduction or deemed to be paid.

1972, c. 23, s. 742; 1982, c. 5, s. 181; 1985, c. 25, s. 147; 1989, c. 5, s. 197; 1997, c. 31, s. 95; 2004, c. 21, s. 247; 2009, c. 15, s. 185.

1012.1. For the purposes of section 1012, the amount that may be included in computing the taxpayer’s taxable income, claimed as a deduction or deemed to be paid under Chapter III.1 of Title III by or on behalf of the taxpayer for a taxation year is the amount that the taxpayer may include, deduct or be deemed to have paid, as the case may be, for that taxation year under or because of

1012.1.1. If section 1012 applies, in relation to a taxation year, in respect of a particular amount referred to in paragraph g or h of section 1012.1, it is to be read as if “for any relevant taxation year, other than a taxation year preceding the taxation year” was replaced by “for the taxation year”.

If section 1012 applies, in relation to a particular taxation year, in respect of a particular amount referred to in paragraph d of section 1012.1 and the conditions of the third paragraph are met, it is to be read as follows:

“1012. If a taxpayer has filed for a particular taxation year the fiscal return required by section 1000 and a particular amount referred to in paragraph d of section 1012.1 is subsequently claimed as a deduction in computing the taxpayer’s taxable income for the particular taxation year by filing with the Minister, on or before the filing-due date applicable to the taxpayer’s succession for the subsequent taxation year in respect of any amount deducted because of paragraph g of section 1012.1 in computing income for the taxation year of the taxpayer’s death, a prescribed form to amend the fiscal return for the particular taxation year, the Minister shall, for any relevant taxation year, other than a taxation year preceding the particular taxation year, redetermine the taxpayer’s tax to take into account the amount so claimed as a deduction in computing the taxpayer’s taxable income.”

1015.3. Every person to whom another person pays, in a taxation year, remuneration, within the meaning of the regulations made under section 1015, shall furnish the other person with a return in the form and within the time prescribed in section 1015.4.

Where a person fails to furnish the return referred to in the first paragraph, the deduction or withholding must be made in respect of the person as though the person were entitled to deduct, in computing the person’s tax payable for the year, only the amount obtained by multiplying,

(a)  where the deduction or withholding is made in respect of remuneration paid in the year 2023, but before 1 July, $17,183 by 15%; or

(b)  where the deduction or withholding is made in respect of remuneration paid in the year 2023, but after 30 June, or in a year subsequent to the year 2023, $17,183 by the percentage determined under section 750.1 for the year.

Where the amount of $17,183 to which subparagraph b of the second paragraph refers is to be used for a taxation year subsequent to the year 2023, it is to be adjusted annually in such a manner that the amount used for that taxation year is equal to the total of the amount used for the preceding taxation year and the product obtained by multiplying that amount so used by the factor determined by the formula

(A/B) - 1.

In the formula provided for in the third paragraph,

(a)  A is the average all-items Consumer Price Index for Québec excluding alcoholic beverages, tobacco products and recreational cannabis for the 12-month period that ended on 30 September of the taxation year preceding that for which an amount is to be adjusted; and

(b)  B is the average all-items Consumer Price Index for Québec excluding alcoholic beverages, tobacco products and recreational cannabis for the 12-month period that ended on 30 September of the taxation year immediately before the year preceding that for which the amount is to be adjusted.

If the factor determined by the formula in the third paragraph has more than four decimal places, only the first four decimal digits are retained and the fourth is increased by one unit if the fifth is greater than 4.

Where the amount that results from the adjustment provided for in the third paragraph is not a multiple of $1, it must be rounded to the nearest multiple of $1 or, if it is equidistant from two such multiples, to the higher multiple.

Where this section applies in respect of remuneration paid in the taxation year 2023, it is to be read without reference to its third, fourth, fifth and sixth paragraphs.

1015.4. The person referred to in the first paragraph of section 1015.3 shall furnish the other person referred to in that paragraph with a return in the prescribed form containing the prescribed information within the following time:

(a)  the person’s employment starting date where the other person is the person’s employer; and

(b)  before remuneration is paid for the first time where the other person is not the person’s employer.

The person referred to in the first paragraph of section 1015.3 shall furnish the other person referred to in that paragraph with a new return in the prescribed form containing the prescribed information within 15 days after an event that results in the reduction of the amount of the person’s deductions or personal tax credits, according to the information indicated in the last return furnished to the other person.

Notwithstanding the first and second paragraphs, the person referred to in the first paragraph of section 1015.3 may, at any time, furnish the other person referred to in that paragraph with a return or a new return in the prescribed form containing the prescribed information.

2003, c. 9, s. 166.

1015.5. (Repealed).

2004, c. 21, s. 252; 2005, c. 1, s. 210.

1016. Where the Minister is satisfied that the deduction or withholding of the amount provided for in the third paragraph of section 1015 would impose undue hardship on the taxpayer, the Minister may determine a lesser amount and that amount shall be deemed to be the amount that is required to be deducted or withheld under that section.

1973, c. 18, s. 28; 1995, c. 18, s. 92; 1997, c. 85, s. 241; 2000, c. 5, s. 244; 2001, c. 51, s. 85.

1017. A taxpayer may elect, in prescribed form and prescribed manner, that the amount deducted or withheld in the taxpayer’s respect under section 1015 be increased by the amount specified by the taxpayer in the election, and that increased amount shall be deemed to be the amount that is required to be deducted or withheld under that section.

1973, c. 18, s. 28; 2001, c. 51, s. 86.

1017.1. A joint election made or expected to be made under Chapter II.1 of Title VI of Book III is not to be considered grounds on which the Minister may determine a lesser amount under section 1016.

2009, c. 5, s. 422.

1017.2. If a transferor and a transferee, within the meaning assigned to those expressions by the first paragraph of section 336.8, make a joint election under Chapter II.1 of Title VI of Book III in respect of a split-retirement income amount for a taxation year, determined in their respect for the purposes of that chapter, the portion of the amount deducted or withheld under section 1015 that may reasonably be considered to be attributable to the split-retirement income amount is deemed to have been deducted or withheld on account of the transferee’s tax payable for the year under this Part and not on account of the transferor’s tax payable for the year under this Part.

2009, c. 5, s. 422.

1017.3. An amount deemed to have been received as a benefit under or because of section 49 or any of sections 50 to 52.0.1 must not be considered a basis on which the Minister may determine a lesser amount under section 1016 solely because it is received as a non-cash benefit.

2011, c. 34, s. 69.

1018. (Repealed).

1972, c. 23, s. 746; 1993, c. 16, s. 328; 1995, c. 1, s. 112.

1019. Where, at the end of a taxpayer’s taxation year, the person beneficially entitled to an amount received by the taxpayer after 1984 and before the taxation year as dividends, interest or proceeds of disposition of property is unknown to the taxpayer, the taxpayer shall pay to the Minister, on or before the sixtieth day after the end of the taxation year, on account of the tax payable by that person, an amount equal to 15% of the amount received as dividends or interest and 15% of the amount, if any, by which the proceeds of disposition of property exceed the aggregate of any expenses made or incurred by the taxpayer for the purpose of disposing of the property, to the extent that such expenses were not deducted in computing the taxpayer’s income for any taxation year or attributable to any other property.

1972, c. 23, s. 747; 1989, c. 77, s. 99.

1019.1. No payment under section 1019 shall be required in respect of an amount that was included in computing the taxpayer’s income contemplated in the said section for the year or a preceding taxation year or in respect of an amount on which the tax contemplated in the said section 1019 was previously paid.

1989, c. 77, s. 99.

1019.2. An amount paid by a taxpayer under section 1019 in respect of dividends, interest or proceeds of disposition of property is deemed to have been received by the person beneficially entitled thereto and to have been deducted or withheld from the amount otherwise payable by the taxpayer to that person.

1989, c. 77, s. 99.

DIVISION II RULES RELATING TO TIPS

1997, c. 85, s. 242.

1019.3. In this division,

“regulated establishment” has the meaning assigned by section 42.6;

“tippable sale” has the meaning assigned by section 42.6.

1997, c. 85, s. 242.

1019.4. If an employee receives or benefits from tips and performs employment duties for a regulated establishment, the employee shall report in writing to the employer, at the end of each pay period, the amount by which the amount of tips the employee received or benefited from exceeds the amount of tips remitted to or for the benefit of another employee under a tip-sharing arrangement implemented for the employees performing employment duties for the regulated establishment, to the extent that that amount is included in the amount of the tips the employee received or benefited from.

The first paragraph does not apply in respect of the amount of the tips the employee received or benefited from during the pay period referred to therein, in respect of the performance of employment duties for the regulated establishment referred to therein, and that constitute service charges added to the customer’s bill.

1997, c. 85, s. 242; 2009, c. 5, s. 423.

1019.5. For the purposes of section 1019.4, where a tip in respect of a sale is not received in the pay period during which the sale is made or in the pay periods referred to in paragraphs a and b, the tip is deemed to be received in one of the pay periods referred to in those paragraphs and not to be received at the time it is actually received:

(a)  subject to paragraph b, the tip is deemed to be received in the pay period during which the obligations relating to that sale are fully fulfilled; and

(b)  in the case where the funds representing the proceeds of a sale in a regulated establishment, in respect of which a tip was paid, are not received by the operator of the regulated establishment before the end of the pay period referred to in paragraph a, in respect of that sale, and where remittance of the tip attributable to that sale to the employee in respect of whom the sale is attributable is deferred to a time after that pay period, the tip is deemed to be received in the pay period during which the funds are received by the operator of the regulated establishment.

1997, c. 85, s. 242.

1019.6. An amount may be deducted or withheld under section 1015 by an employer from remuneration paid to an employee who performs employment duties for a regulated establishment only to the extent that it does not reduce any amount that, but for that section 1015, would have been deducted or withheld from that remuneration under section 153 of the Income Tax Act (Revised Statutes of Canada, 1985, chapter 1, 5th Supplement), without reference to subsection 1.2 of that section, under section 82 of the Employment Insurance Act (Statutes of Canada, 1996, chapter 23), under section 59 of the Act respecting the Québec Pension Plan (chapter R-9), under section 60 of the Act respecting parental insurance (chapter A-29.011), or as dues referred to in paragraph b or c of section 752.0.18.3.

1997, c. 85, s. 242; 2001, c. 9, s. 128.

1019.7. For the purposes of section 1015, the following rules apply:

(a)  whoever employs an individual referred to in section 42.11 is deemed to pay to that individual as remuneration any tip to be attributed to the individual by the employer under that section 42.11, at the time the attribution is to be made under that section; and

(b)  where an employee reports under section 1019.4 to the employer, in respect of a pay period, an amount relating to tips the employee received or benefited from in that pay period, the employer is deemed to pay to the employee an amount of remuneration equal to the amount so reported and to have paid that amount of remuneration at the time referred to in the second paragraph.

For the purposes of subparagraph b of the first paragraph, the employer referred to therein is deemed to pay the amount of remuneration referred to therein at the time the employer pays to the employee the salary or wages for the pay period referred to therein or, where, having regard to the information available at that time and the time required to determine the amount that is to be deducted or withheld from that amount of remuneration under section 1015, it may reasonably be considered that the employer cannot at that time determine the amount to be so deducted or withheld from that amount of remuneration owing to the fact that payment of the salary or wages for that pay period follows too closely the end of that pay period, at the time the employer pays to the employee the salary or wages for the pay period immediately following that pay period.

1997, c. 85, s. 242.

CHAPTER II ADJUSTMENT PAYMENTS

1972, c. 23.

1020. (1)  The Minister may, with the authorization of the Government, make an adjustment payment to the government of another province or of Canada, where, for a taxation year, such government is authorized to remit to Québec amounts deducted or withheld under the laws of such other province or of Canada, and such remittance is, in the opinion of the Minister, equivalent to an adjustment payment.

(2)  The Minister may also, with the same authorization, sign with the government of that other province or of Canada any agreement deemed necessary for the application of this section.

1972, c. 23, s. 748.

1021.

1972, c. 23, s. 749.

1022. An individual resident in Québec on the last day of a taxation year may deduct from his tax payable for such year the tax deductions or withholdings made by the government of another province mentioned in section 1020 and that part of the tax deductions or withholdings made by the government of Canada which is transferred to Québec as a payment equivalent to an adjustment payment.

1972, c. 23, s. 750.

1023. An individual who, on the last day of a taxation year, resided in another province mentioned in section 1020 and in respect of whom tax deductions or withholdings were made in Québec shall not claim the refund of the amounts so deducted or withheld or apply the amount thereof to the payment of what he may owe to Québec.

1972, c. 23, s. 751.

1024. For the purposes of sections 1020 to 1023, the expression “adjustment payment” means a payment made by Québec to the government of another province or of Canada in respect of any tax deduction or withholding made in Québec on an amount paid to a person not resident in Québec on the last day of the taxation year and the expression “amount deducted or withheld” does not include an amount which has been refunded to the individual.

The amount to which the definition of “net tax owing” in the first paragraph refers corresponds to the aggregate of all amounts deducted or withheld under section 1015, but without reference to section 1017.2, in respect of the individual’s income for the year and all amounts the individual is deemed, under Chapter III.1, to have paid to the Minister on account of the individual’s tax payable under this Part for the year.

(a)  the taxpayer files with the Minister the prescribed form containing prescribed information and, if applicable, a copy of the documents referred to in the first paragraph after the expiry of that time limit so as to be deemed to have paid an amount to the Minister for the year in respect of the cost, expenditure or costs under the particular provision; and

1029.6.0.1.2.2. The rule set out in the second paragraph applies if

(a)  any of the following conditions is met in relation to an expenditure, in this section referred to as the “initial expenditure”, incurred in whole or in part after 12 December 2003:

i.  by reason of subparagraph b of the first paragraph of section 1029.6.0.1, no amount may, in respect of all or part of a cost, an expenditure or costs that constitute only a portion of the initial expenditure (in this section referred to as the “portion not qualifying for a tax credit”), be deemed under any of Divisions II to II.6.2, II.6.5, II.6.5.7 and II.6.14.2 to II.6.15 to have been paid to the Minister by a taxpayer for a taxation year, or be deemed under section 34.1.9 of the Act respecting the Régie de l’assurance maladie du Québec (chapter R-5) to have been an overpayment to the Minister by the taxpayer, or

ii.  a contract payment, within the meaning of the first paragraph of section 1029.8.36.0.17 or section 1029.8.36.4, must be taken into account in computing the amount used as a basis for computing, in respect of the portion of the initial expenditure that, where applicable, exceeds the portion not qualifying for a tax credit thereof, the amount that is deemed under Division II.6.0.3 or II.6.2 to have been paid to the Minister by a taxpayer for a taxation year;

(b)  but for this section and section 1029.6.0.1.2.3, a particular amount would be, in respect of the portion of the initial expenditure (in subparagraph c and the second paragraph referred to as the “portion qualifying for a tax credit”) that, where applicable, exceeds the portion not qualifying for a tax credit thereof, deemed under any of Divisions II to II.6.2, II.6.5, II.6.5.7 and II.6.14.2 to II.6.15 to have been paid to the Minister by the taxpayer for the year, or deemed under section 34.1.9 of the Act respecting the Régie de l’assurance maladie du Québec to have been an overpayment to the Minister by the taxpayer; and

(c)  the portion qualifying for a tax credit of the initial expenditure is an expenditure in respect of which a particular maximum amount, which would correspond to a particular limit, in dollars, established on an annual, weekly or hourly basis, or which, where applicable, would be obtained by multiplying, before the application of section 1029.6.0.1.2.3, that particular limit by a proportion or, successively, by more than one proportion, would be provided for by the division referred to in subparagraph b for the purpose of determining the amount used as a basis for computing the particular amount referred to in that subparagraph b.

The amount that, in respect of the portion qualifying for a tax credit of the initial expenditure, may be deemed under the division referred to in subparagraph b of the first paragraph to have been paid to the Minister by the taxpayer for the year, or deemed under section 34.1.9 of the Act respecting the Régie de l’assurance maladie du Québec to have been an overpayment to the Minister by the taxpayer, must be determined as if, subject to section 1029.6.0.1.2.3, the maximum amount then applicable was equal to the product obtained by multiplying the particular maximum amount referred to in subparagraph c of the first paragraph for the purposes, in respect of the portion qualifying for a tax credit of the initial expenditure, of that division by the proportion that the part of the period covered by the initial expenditure that may reasonably be attributed to the portion of the initial expenditure that exceeds the aggregate, relating to the portion of the initial expenditure that was incurred after 12 December 2003, of the portion not qualifying for a tax credit of the initial expenditure and any contract payment, within the meaning of the first paragraph of section 1029.8.36.0.17 or section 1029.8.36.4, taken into account in computing the amount used as a basis for computing, in respect of the portion qualifying for a tax credit of the initial expenditure, the particular amount referred to in subparagraph b of the first paragraph, is of the period covered by the initial expenditure.

2005, c. 23, s. 143; 2006, c. 13, s. 90; 2007, c. 12, s. 105; 2010, c. 25, s. 115; 2012, c. 8, s. 178; 2015, c. 21, s. 366; 2021, c. 18, s. 94.

1029.6.0.1.2.3. In this section, an expenditure entitling a taxpayer to more than one tax credit for a taxation year means a particular expenditure or particular costs that

(a)  were incurred in whole or in part after 12 December 2003;

(b)  relate to an activity that is eligible, for the purposes, for the year, of any of Divisions II to II.6.2, II.6.5, II.6.5.7 and II.6.14.2 to II.6.15 in respect of the taxpayer, such division being in this section referred to as the “applicable division”, and for the purposes, for any taxation year, of one or more other divisions among those divisions, each division then applicable, if any, being in this section referred to as the “applicable division”, or of Division II.6.6.6.1 or II.6.6.6.2, in respect of the taxpayer;

(c)  are attributable to the period corresponding to the aggregate of all the periods in the year, or relating to the year, during which they relate to the activity referred to in subparagraph b; and

(d)  relate to an activity that is eligible for the purposes, for at least a part of the period referred to in subparagraph c, of both the first applicable division mentioned in subparagraph b and at least one of the other divisions referred to in that subparagraph b.

If, for the purposes, in respect of an expenditure entitling a taxpayer to more than one tax credit for a taxation year, of the applicable divisions relating to the expenditure, the taxpayer allocates among those applicable divisions all or part of the period to which that expenditure is attributable, the following rules apply, except for the purposes of subparagraph b of the first paragraph of section 1029.6.0.1, for the purpose of establishing, in respect of that expenditure, the particular amount deemed under an applicable division relating to the expenditure to have been paid to the Minister by the taxpayer for the year, or deemed under section 34.1.9 of the Act respecting the Régie de l’assurance maladie du Québec (chapter R-5) to have been an overpayment to the Minister by the taxpayer:

(a)  if a period is attributed for the purposes, in respect of the expenditure entitling to more than one tax credit, of that applicable division, the portion of that expenditure that does not relate to that period is not to be taken into account;

(b)  if no period is attributed for the purposes, in respect of the expenditure entitling to more than one tax credit, of that applicable division, no portion of that expenditure is to be taken into account; and

(c)  if, for the purpose of establishing the amount used as a basis for computing the particular amount, a maximum amount that corresponds to a particular limit, in dollars, established on an annual, weekly or hourly basis, or that, where applicable, is obtained by multiplying that particular limit by a proportion or, successively, by more than one proportion is to be taken into account, that maximum amount is deemed to be equal to

i.  if the second paragraph of section 1029.6.0.1.2.2 applies for the purposes, in respect of the expenditure entitling to more than one tax credit or of part of that expenditure, of that applicable division, the product obtained by multiplying the maximum amount then determined under that second paragraph in relation to that division by the proportion, not exceeding 1, that the period that is attributed for the purposes, in respect of the expenditure entitling to more than one tax credit, of that division is of the part of the period to which the expenditure entitling to more than one tax credit is attributable that was considered as a numerator in the proportion referred to in that second paragraph in relation to that division, and

ii.  if subparagraph i does not apply, the product obtained by multiplying that maximum amount, otherwise determined, by the proportion that the period attributed for the purposes, in respect of the expenditure entitling to more than one tax credit, of that applicable division, is of the part of the period to which the expenditure entitling to more than one tax credit is attributable that may reasonably be considered, for the purposes of that division, as having been devoted to the activity referred to in subparagraph b of the first paragraph in relation to that expenditure.

For the purpose of making the allocation provided for in the second paragraph, the following rules apply:

(a)  the period attributed for the purposes of a particular applicable division must be included entirely in the part of the period to which the expenditure entitling to more than one tax credit is attributable that may reasonably be considered, for the purposes of that applicable division, as having been devoted to the activity referred to in subparagraph b of the first paragraph in relation to that expenditure;

(b)  the period attributed for the purposes of a particular applicable division must not include any part of the period attributed for the purposes of another applicable division in respect of the expenditure entitling to more than one tax credit; and

(c)  the taxpayer may attribute, for the purposes of any of the applicable divisions, no part of the period to which the expenditure entitling to more than one tax credit is attributable.

1029.6.0.1.2.4. For the purposes of Divisions II.6.6.6.1 and II.6.6.6.2, the following rules apply:

(a)  an expenditure, in respect of which no amount may, because of subparagraph b of the first paragraph of section 1029.6.0.1, be deemed under any of Divisions II to II.6.2, II.6.5 and II.6.14.2 to II.6.15 to have been paid to the Minister by a corporation for a taxation year, must, where it is a salary or wages paid by the corporation, be considered to be included in computing an expenditure in respect of which the corporation is deemed to have paid an amount to the Minister under this chapter for any taxation year;

(b)  the part of the particular salaries or wages that may reasonably be considered, for the purposes of a particular provision of any of those divisions, to be included in computing an expenditure in respect of which a corporation is deemed to have paid an amount to the Minister under this chapter for any taxation year corresponds, in relation to a particular amount deemed to have been paid to the Minister by the corporation under this chapter, to the amount by which the portion, attributable to the particular salaries or wages, of the aggregate of the salaries or wages that were taken into account in computing the amount used as a basis for computing the particular amount exceeds the portion, attributable to the particular salaries or wages, of the aggregate of any contract payment, within the meaning of paragraph c, of any government assistance and of any non-government assistance that was taken into account in computing the amount used as a basis for computing the particular amount; and

(c)  “contract payment” has the meaning assigned by section 1029.8.17 or 1029.8.17.0.1, by the first paragraph of section 1029.8.36.0.17 or by section 1029.8.36.4, as the case may be.

Parts III.1.1.7 and III.10.1.2 to III.10.1.8 apply as if a contract payment, within the meaning of subparagraph c of the first paragraph, was government assistance.

1029.6.0.1.4. Despite subparagraph b of the first paragraph of section 1029.6.0.1, a taxpayer may, subject to section 1029.6.0.1.5 and provided that the conditions set out in the second paragraph are satisfied, be deemed to have paid an amount to the Minister for a taxation year under Division II.6.0.3 in respect of all or part of a wage expense incurred in performing a particular contract, or any contract derived therefrom, that may reasonably be considered to relate to a particular expenditure, even if it may reasonably be considered that all or a portion of a consideration paid or payable by a person under the particular contract relates to the particular expenditure and that the person may, for a taxation year, be deemed to have paid an amount to the Minister under Division II.6 or II.6.0.0.2 in respect of that particular expenditure.

The conditions to which the first paragraph refers are the following:

(a)  a particular certificate has been issued to the taxpayer by the Minister of Finance before 14 March 2000 for the purposes of any of Divisions II.6.0.1.4, II.6.0.1.5 and II.6.0.2, as they read before being repealed, or of Division II.6.0.3;

(b)  before 14 March 2000, the taxpayer paid wages, in performing a particular contract entered into before that date, that may reasonably be considered to relate to a particular expenditure; and

(a)  a partnership is deemed, at a particular time, to be a corporation whose taxation year corresponds to the partnership’s fiscal period and all the voting shares in the capital stock of which are owned at that time by each member of the partnership in a proportion equal to the agreed proportion in respect of the member for the partnership’s fiscal period that includes that time; and

(b)  a trust is deemed, at a particular time, to be a corporation all the voting shares in the capital stock of which

(1)  are owned at that time by such a beneficiary, if that beneficiary’s share of the income or capital of the trust depends on the exercise by any person of, or the failure by any person to exercise, a power to appoint, and if that time occurs before the distribution date, or

(2)  are owned at that time by such a beneficiary in a proportion equal to the proportion that the fair market value of the beneficial interest in the trust of the beneficiary is of the fair market value of the beneficial interests in the trust of all the beneficiaries, if subparagraph 1 does not apply and that time occurs before the distribution date,

ii.  if a beneficiary’s share of the accumulating income or capital of the trust depends on the exercise by any person of, or the failure by any person to exercise, a power to appoint, are owned at that time by the beneficiary, unless subparagraph i applies and that time occurs before the distribution date,

iii.  in any case where subparagraph ii does not apply, are owned at that time by the beneficiary in a proportion equal to the proportion that the fair market value of the beneficial interest in the trust of the beneficiary is of the fair market value of all beneficial interests in the trust, unless subparagraph i applies and that time occurs before the distribution date, and

For the purposes of Divisions II.6 to II.6.0.0.5, where a corporation shows, to the Minister’s satisfaction, that its failure to file, in a taxation year (in this section referred to as the “year of the failure”), an application for an advance ruling or an application for a qualification certificate with the Société de développement des entreprises culturelles in respect of a property is directly attributable to the measures taken to mitigate the effects of the COVID-19 pandemic and that it filed such an application in respect of the property as soon as possible, the Minister may consider that the corporation filed, in the year of the failure, the application for an advance ruling or the application for a qualification certificate, as the case may be, in respect of the property.

Where the Minister exercises discretion in the corporation’s favour in accordance with the first paragraph, the application referred to in the first paragraph is deemed to have been filed by the corporation with the Société de développement des entreprises culturelles in respect of the property in the year of the failure and not in the year in which it was actually filed.

2021, c. 36, s. 100.

1029.6.0.1.8.1. If, at a particular time after 21 April 2005, a person or partnership pays, pursuant to a legal obligation, a particular amount that may reasonably be considered to be the repayment of a benefit or advantage that, for the purpose of computing an amount, in this section referred to as the “credit amount”, that a taxpayer is deemed to have paid to the Minister for any given taxation year under a particular provision of this chapter, or is deemed to have overpaid to the Minister, in relation to any given taxation year, under section 34.1.9 of the Act respecting the Régie de l’assurance maladie du Québec (chapter R-5), was taken into account in computing a cost, an expenditure or expenses, or the taxpayer’s share of a cost, an expenditure or expenses, the following rules apply:

(a)  if the cost, expenditure or expenses were incurred by the taxpayer, the provision of this chapter that applies in respect of the repayment by the taxpayer of an amount of government assistance or non-government assistance relating to the cost, expenditure or expenses, also applies in respect of the repayment of the benefit or advantage as if

i.  the particular amount were an amount paid by the taxpayer at that time, pursuant to a legal obligation, as the repayment of non-government assistance referred to in that provision, and

ii.  for the purpose of computing the credit amount for the given taxation year, or in relation to that year, the benefit or advantage had not been treated as a benefit or advantage but as non-government assistance that, in relation to the cost, expenditure or expenses, was received by the taxpayer;

(b)  if the cost, expenditure or expenses were incurred by a particular partnership of which the taxpayer is a member and

i.  the benefit or advantage was obtained by a partnership or by a person other than the person referred to in subparagraph ii, the provision of this chapter that applies in respect of the repayment by the particular partnership of an amount of government assistance or non-government assistance relating to the cost, expenditure or expenses, also applies in respect of the repayment of the benefit or advantage as if

(1)  the particular amount were an amount paid by the particular partnership at that time, pursuant to a legal obligation, as the repayment of non-government assistance referred to in that provision, and

(2)  for the purpose of computing the credit amount for the given taxation year, the benefit or advantage had not been treated as a benefit or advantage but as non-government assistance that, in relation to the cost, expenditure or expenses, was received by the particular partnership, or

ii.  the benefit or advantage was obtained by the taxpayer or by a person with whom the taxpayer is not dealing at arm’s length, the provision of this chapter that applies in respect of the repayment by the taxpayer of an amount of government assistance or non-government assistance relating to the cost, expenditure or expenses, also applies in respect of the repayment of the benefit or advantage as if

(1)  the particular amount were an amount paid by the taxpayer at that time, pursuant to a legal obligation, as the repayment of non-government assistance referred to in that provision, and

(2)  for the purpose of computing the credit amount for the given taxation year, the benefit or advantage had not been treated as a benefit or advantage but as non-government assistance that, in relation to the cost, expenditure or expenses, was received by the taxpayer;

(c)  if the cost, expenditure or expenses were incurred by a corporation with which the taxpayer is associated at the end of the calendar year that ends in the given taxation year, the provision of this chapter that applies in respect of the repayment by the corporation of an amount of government assistance or non-government assistance relating to the cost, expenditure or expenses, also applies in respect of the repayment of the benefit or advantage as if

i.  the particular amount were an amount paid by the corporation at that time, pursuant to a legal obligation, as the repayment of non-government assistance referred to in that provision, and

ii.  for the purpose of computing the credit amount for the given taxation year, the benefit or advantage had not been treated as a benefit or advantage but as non-government assistance that, in relation to the cost, expenditure or expenses, was received by the corporation;

(d)  the assumptions that, because of the application of subparagraph a or c, or of subparagraph i or ii of subparagraph b, were made in respect of the benefit or advantage must be taken into account for the purpose of applying, in relation to the taxpayer, the provision to which that subparagraph a or c or that subparagraph i or ii refers, in respect of the repayment, after that time, of government assistance or non-government assistance or of another benefit or advantage, relating to the cost, expenditure or expenses, or to such a cost, such an expenditure or such expenses; and

(e)  if the taxpayer is deemed, because of the application of subparagraph a or of subparagraph i or ii of subparagraph b, to have paid an amount to the Minister, for a taxation year, under the provision of this chapter to which that subparagraph a or that subparagraph i or ii refers, the taxpayer is, for the purposes of this chapter, deemed to be so deemed in relation to an amount of non-government assistance that is repaid.

For the purposes of the first paragraph in respect of the repayment of a benefit or advantage that reduced, in computing the amount that a taxpayer is deemed to have paid to the Minister for a taxation year under any of sections 1029.7, 1029.8, 1029.8.6, 1029.8.7, 1029.8.9.0.3, 1029.8.9.0.4, 1029.8.16.1.4 and 1029.8.16.1.5, the amount of the wages, of the portion of the consideration, of the qualified expenditure, of the eligible fee or of the eligible fee balance, as the case may be, no account is to be taken of subparagraphs c to e of the first paragraph and its subparagraph b is to be read as follows:

“(b) if the cost, expenditure or expenses were incurred by a partnership of which the taxpayer is a member, the provision of this chapter that applies in respect of the repayment by the partnership of an amount of government assistance or non-government assistance relating to the cost, expenditure or expenses, also applies in respect of the repayment of the benefit or advantage as if

i. the particular amount were an amount paid by the partnership at that time, pursuant to a legal obligation, as the repayment of non-government assistance referred to in that provision, and

ii. for the purpose of computing the credit amount for the given taxation year, the benefit or advantage had not been treated as a benefit or advantage but as non-government assistance that, in relation to the cost, expenditure or expenses, was received by the partnership.”

For the purposes of the first paragraph in respect of the repayment of a benefit or advantage that reduced, in computing the amount that a taxpayer is deemed to have paid to the Minister for a taxation year under section 1029.8.33.6 or 1029.8.33.7, the taxpayer’s qualified expenditure or the taxpayer’s share of such a qualified expenditure, the first paragraph is to be read

(b)  as if the following subparagraph was added after subparagraph 2 of subparagraph i of subparagraph b:

“(3) subparagraph i of paragraph b of section 1029.8.33.2.1 were read as follows:

“i. the quotient obtained by dividing the amount that the taxpayer is deemed to have paid to the Minister for the particular year under section 1029.8.33.7 in respect of the trainee in relation to the particular week by the product obtained by multiplying

(1) the percentage specified in the first paragraph of section 1029.8.33.7 that is applicable in respect of the taxpayer for the particular year, and

(2) the agreed proportion in respect of the taxpayer for the partnership’s fiscal period ended in the particular year, and”, or”; and

(c)  as if the following subparagraph was added after subparagraph 2 of subparagraph ii of subparagraph b:

“(3) paragraph b of section 1029.8.33.2.2 were read as follows:

“(b) the amount by which the eligible taxpayer’s share, determined in accordance with section 1029.8.33.7 and without reference to section 1029.8.33.7.1, of the particular qualified expenditure exceeds the aggregate of

i. the quotient obtained by dividing the amount that the taxpayer is deemed to have paid to the Minister for that taxation year under section 1029.8.33.7 in respect of the particular qualified expenditure by the percentage specified in the first paragraph of section 1029.8.33.7 that is applicable in respect of the taxpayer for the taxation year in which the particular fiscal period ended, and

ii. the amounts determined under this section, in respect of the taxpayer and in respect of the particular qualified expenditure, for a taxation year previous to the particular taxation year.”;”.

1029.6.0.1.8.2. For the purposes of the first paragraph of section 1029.6.0.1.8.1, an amount is deemed to be an amount paid as the repayment of a benefit or advantage by a person or partnership at a particular time, pursuant to a legal obligation, if that amount

(a)  reduced a cost, an expenditure or expenses for the purpose of computing an amount that a taxpayer is deemed to have paid to the Minister for a taxation year under a provision of this chapter or is deemed to have overpaid to the Minister, in relation to a taxation year, under section 34.1.9 of the Act respecting the Régie de l’assurance maladie du Québec (chapter R-5);

(b)  was not obtained by the person or partnership; and

(c)  ceased, at that time, to be an amount that the person or partnership may reasonably expect to obtain.

2006, c. 36, s. 103.

1029.6.0.1.8.3. For the purpose of determining the amount that is deemed to have been paid to the Minister for a taxation year under this chapter, in respect of a cost, an expenditure or expenses incurred by a given partnership in a given fiscal period of the given partnership, the following rules apply in respect of a taxpayer if one or more partnerships (each of which is in this section referred to as an “interposed partnership”) are interposed between the taxpayer and the given partnership:

(a)  the taxpayer is deemed to be a member of a particular partnership at the end of a particular fiscal period of the particular partnership and that particular fiscal period is deemed to end in the taxpayer’s taxation year in which ends the fiscal period of the interposed partnership of which the taxpayer is directly a member, if

i.  the particular fiscal period is that which ends in the fiscal period (in this section referred to as the “interposed fiscal period”) of the interposed partnership that is a member of the particular partnership at the end of that particular fiscal period, and

ii.  the taxpayer is a member, or deemed to be a member under this paragraph, of the interposed partnership described in subparagraph i at the end of the interposed partnership’s interposed fiscal period;

(b)  for the purpose of determining the taxpayer’s share in an amount in respect of the given partnership for the given fiscal period, the agreed proportion in respect of the taxpayer for that fiscal period of the given partnership is deemed to be equal to the product obtained by multiplying the agreed proportion in respect of the taxpayer for the interposed fiscal period of the interposed partnership of which the taxpayer is directly a member, by

i.  if there is only one interposed partnership, the agreed proportion in respect of the interposed partnership for the given partnership’s given fiscal period, or

ii.  if there is more than one interposed partnership, the result obtained by multiplying together all proportions each of which is the agreed proportion in respect of an interposed partnership for the particular fiscal period of the particular partnership referred to in paragraph a of which the interposed partnership is a member at the end of that particular fiscal period;

(c)  if, at a particular time that occurs on or before the day that is six months after the end of the given fiscal period, an interposed partnership has received, is entitled to receive or may reasonably expect to receive, an amount of government assistance or non-government assistance, in respect of the cost, the expenditure or the expenses incurred by the given partnership, or is deemed under this paragraph to have received, to be entitled to receive or to reasonably expect to receive such an amount, each of the members of that interposed partnership at the end of the interposed partnership’s interposed fiscal period, is deemed at the particular time to have received, to be entitled to receive or to reasonably expect to receive, as the case may be, the member’s share in that amount, which share is equal to the agreed proportion of that amount in respect of that member for that fiscal period of the interposed partnership.

2009, c. 15, s. 198.

1029.6.0.1.8.4. For the purpose of determining the amount that is deemed to have been paid to the Minister for a taxation year under this chapter, in respect of the repayment, in a fiscal period of a given partnership (in this section referred to as the “fiscal period of repayment”), of an amount of government assistance or non-government assistance that relates to a cost, an expenditure or expenses that have been incurred by the given partnership in a preceding fiscal period of the given partnership, the following rules apply in respect of a taxpayer if one or more partnerships (each of which is in this section referred to as an “interposed partnership”) are interposed between the taxpayer and the given partnership, for the fiscal period of repayment:

(a)  the taxpayer is deemed to be a member of a particular partnership at the end of a particular fiscal period of the particular partnership and that particular fiscal period is deemed to end in the taxpayer’s taxation year in which ends the fiscal period of the interposed partnership of which the taxpayer is directly a member, if

i.  the particular fiscal period is that which ends in the fiscal period (in this section referred to as the “interposed fiscal period”) of the interposed partnership that is a member of the particular partnership at the end of that particular fiscal period, and

ii.  the taxpayer is a member, or deemed to be a member under this paragraph, of the interposed partnership described in subparagraph i at the end of the interposed partnership’s interposed fiscal period;

(b)  the agreed proportion in respect of the taxpayer for the given partnership’s fiscal period of repayment is deemed to be equal to the product obtained by multiplying the agreed proportion in respect of the taxpayer for the interposed fiscal period of the interposed partnership of which the taxpayer is directly a member, by

i.  if there is only one interposed partnership, the agreed proportion in respect of the interposed partnership for the given partnership’s fiscal period of repayment, or

ii.  if there is more than one interposed partnership, the result obtained by multiplying together all proportions each of which is the agreed proportion in respect of an interposed partnership for the particular fiscal period of the particular partnership referred to in paragraph a of which the interposed partnership is a member at the end of that particular fiscal period;

(c)  if, at a particular time in the fiscal period of repayment, an interposed partnership pays, or is deemed to pay under this paragraph, pursuant to a legal obligation, an amount that may reasonably be considered to be a repayment of government assistance or non-government assistance that has been received, in respect of the cost, the expenditure or the expenses incurred by the given partnership, each of the members of that interposed partnership at the end of the interposed partnership’s interposed fiscal period, is deemed to have paid, at the particular time, pursuant to a legal obligation and as repayment of an amount of assistance, the member’s share in that amount, which share is equal to the agreed proportion of that amount in respect of that member for that fiscal period of the interposed partnership; and

(d)  if, at a particular time in the fiscal period of repayment, an amount of government assistance or non-government assistance to be received, in respect of the cost, the expenditure or the expenses incurred by the given partnership, is, or is deemed to be under this paragraph, an amount that has not been received by an interposed partnership and that has ceased to be an amount that it could reasonably expect to receive, the share in that amount of assistance of each of the members of that interposed partnership at the end of the interposed partnership’s interposed fiscal period—which share is equal to the agreed proportion of that amount of assistance in respect of that member for that fiscal period of the interposed partnership—is deemed to be, at the particular time, an amount that has not been received by that member and that has ceased to be an amount that that member could reasonably expect to receive.

2009, c. 15, s. 198.

1029.6.0.1.8.5. Sections 1029.6.0.1.8.3 and 1029.6.0.1.8.4 do not apply in respect of a taxpayer, in relation to a given partnership, if the Minister is of the opinion that the interposition, between the taxpayer and the given partnership, of one or more other partnerships is part of an operation or transaction or of a series of operations or transactions, one of the purposes of which is to cause the taxpayer to be deemed to have paid to the Minister for a taxation year under this chapter, an amount greater than the amount that would have been so deemed to have been paid to the Minister for that taxation year, but for that interposition.

2009, c. 15, s. 198.

1029.6.0.1.8.6. In this chapter, where a Minister other than the Minister of Revenue or a body replaces or revokes a certificate, qualification certificate or other similar document that has been issued to a person or a partnership, the following rules apply in respect of the document, unless a more specific similar rule applies to it:

(a)  the replaced document is null as of the date of its coming into force or of its deemed coming into force and the new document is deemed, unless it provides otherwise, to come into force as of that date and to have been issued at the time the replaced document was issued or is deemed to have been issued; and

(b)  the revoked document is null as of the effective date of the revocation and is deemed not to have been issued, obtained or held as of that date.

Where a document is, without its being replaced, amended by the revocation or replacement of any of its parts or in any other manner, the document before the amendment and the document as amended are deemed, for the purposes of this section, to be separate documents the first of which (referred to as the “replaced document”) has been replaced by the second (referred to as the “new document”).

Where, in the circumstances described in the second paragraph, a document is amended only for part of its period of validity, the new document is deemed to describe both the situation prevailing before the amendment, as proven by the content of the replaced document, and the new situation, as proven by the content of the new document.

Where, for the purposes of a division of this chapter, a document certifies that a favourable advance ruling has been given, any rule set out in the first paragraph according to which the document is deemed to have been issued or not to have been issued must be considered to be a rule according to which the ruling is deemed to have been given or not to have been given.

It is understood that a document is considered to have never been issued if, under a provision of this chapter, it is null as of the time it was issued or deemed to be issued.

2012, c. 8, s. 182.

1029.6.0.1.9. A taxpayer who is deemed, under a provision of this chapter, to have paid an amount to the Minister on the taxpayer’s balance-due day for a taxation year, in relation to an amount of government assistance or non-government assistance that is repaid, is deemed, despite the provision and for the purpose of computing the payments that the taxpayer is required to make during the year under section 1025 or 1026, subparagraph a of the first paragraph of section 1027 or any of sections 1145, 1159.7, 1175 and 1175.19 where they refer to that subparagraph a, to have paid to the Minister, on account of the aggregate of the taxpayer’s tax payable for the year under this Part and of the taxpayer’s tax payable for the year under Parts IV, IV.1, VI and VI.1, on the date on or before which each payment is required to be made, an amount equal to the lesser of

(a)  the amount by which the aggregate of all amounts each of which is an amount that the taxpayer is deemed, under such a provision, to have paid to the Minister on the taxpayer’s balance-due day for the year, in relation to an amount so repaid, exceeds the portion of that aggregate that may reasonably be considered to be deemed to have been paid to the Minister under this section in the year but before that date; and

(b)  the amount by which the amount of that payment, determined without reference to this chapter, exceeds the aggregate of all amounts each of which is an amount that is deemed, under this chapter but otherwise than under this section, to have been paid to the Minister on that date, for the purpose of computing that payment.

1029.8.6.6. For the purposes of section 1029.8.6.2, the expenditure limit of a particular corporation for a taxation year equals $3,000,000, unless the particular corporation is associated in the year with one or more other corporations that are not controlled, directly or indirectly, in any manner whatever by one or more persons not resident in Canada, in which case, subject to sections 1029.8.6.7 to 1029.8.6.9, its expenditure limit for the year is nil.

2015, c. 36, s. 84.

1029.8.6.8. Where any of the corporations that are associated with each other in a taxation year and to which section 1029.8.6.6 applies fails to file with the Minister the agreement referred to in section 1029.8.6.7 within 30 days after notice in writing by the Minister is forwarded to any of them that such an agreement is required in determining the amount deemed to have been paid to the Minister on account of the corporation’s tax payable for the year under this Part, the Minister shall, for the purposes of section 1029.8.6.2, allocate an amount to one or more of them for the year, which amount or the aggregate of which amounts, as the case may be, must be equal to $3,000,000, and in any such case the expenditure limit for the year of each of the corporations equals the amount so allocated to it.

2015, c. 36, s. 91.

1029.8.16.1.4.5. For the purposes of section 1029.8.16.1.4.1, the expenditure limit of a particular corporation for a taxation year equals $3,000,000, unless the particular corporation is associated in the year with one or more other corporations that are not controlled, directly or indirectly, in any manner whatever by one or more persons not resident in Canada, in which case, subject to sections 1029.8.16.1.4.6 to 1029.8.16.1.4.8, its expenditure limit for the year is nil.

2015, c. 36, s. 91.

§ 5 . — Expenditure exclusion threshold

2015, c. 36, s. 99.

1029.8.19.8. In this subdivision,

“exclusion threshold” applicable to a taxpayer for a taxation year or to a partnership for a fiscal period means the amount determined under section 1029.8.19.9 in respect of the taxpayer for the year or of the partnership for the fiscal period, as the case may be;

“reducible expenditures” of a taxpayer for a taxation year that begins after 2 December 2014 or of a partnership for a fiscal period that begins after that date means the aggregate of all amounts each of which is an expenditure incurred by the taxpayer or the partnership that is attributable to the year or the fiscal period, as the case may be, and that is

(a)   wages referred to in subparagraph a of the first paragraph of section 1029.7 or 1029.8 or a portion of a consideration referred to in any of subparagraphs b to i of the first paragraph of either of those sections;

(b)  an expenditure referred to in paragraph d.1 of section 1029.8.1;

(c)  an eligible fee or an eligible fee balance within the meaning assigned to those expressions by section 1029.8.9.0.2; or

(d)  a qualified expenditure within the meaning assigned to that expression by the first paragraph of section 1029.8.16.1.1.

For the purposes of the definition of “reducible expenditures” in the first paragraph, an expenditure incurred after 2 December 2014 under a contract or agreement entered into on or before that date in respect of scientific research and experimental development does not constitute an expenditure described in the definition of that expression.

2015, c. 36, s. 99.

1029.8.19.9. The amount to which the definition of “exclusion threshold” in the first paragraph of section 1029.8.19.8 refers in respect of a taxpayer for a taxation year or of a partnership for a fiscal period is equal to the amount determined by the formula

$50,000 + [$175,000 × (A - $50,000,000)/$25,000,000].

In the formula in the first paragraph, A is the lesser of $75,000,000 and the taxpayer’s or the partnership’s assets, as the case may be, shown in the taxpayer’s or partnership’s financial statements submitted, if the taxpayer is a corporation, to the shareholders or, if the taxpayer is a partnership, to the partnership’s members, or, if such financial statements have not been prepared or have not been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, that would be shown had such financial statements been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, for the taxpayer’s preceding taxation year or the partnership’s preceding fiscal period, as the case may be, or, if the taxpayer or the partnership is in its first fiscal period, at the beginning of its fiscal period.

Where the taxpayer referred to in the second paragraph is a cooperative, the second paragraph is to be read as if “to the shareholders” were replaced by “to the members”.

For the purposes of the second paragraph, if the assets of a taxpayer for a taxation year or of a partnership for a fiscal period is less than $50,000,000, they are deemed to be equal to $50,000,000.

2015, c. 36, s. 99.

1029.8.19.10. In computing a taxpayer’s or a partnership’s assets, for the purposes of section 1029.8.19.9, the amount of the surplus reassessment of its property and the amount of its incorporeal assets are to be subtracted, to the extent that the amount designated in their respect exceeds the expenditure made in their respect.

For the purposes of the first paragraph, all or part of an expenditure made in respect of a taxpayer’s or a partnership’s incorporeal assets is deemed to be nil if all or part of that expenditure consists

(a)  in the case of a taxpayer that is a corporation or a cooperative, as applicable, of a share of the taxpayer’s capital stock; or

(b)  in the case of a partnership, of an interest in the partnership.

2015, c. 36, s. 99.

1029.8.19.11. For the purposes of section 1029.8.19.9, where a taxpayer or a partnership reduces its assets by any transaction and, but for that reduction, the exclusion threshold applicable to the taxpayer for a taxation year or to the partnership for a fiscal period would be greater, the assets are deemed not to have been so reduced unless the Minister decides otherwise.

2015, c. 36, s. 99.

1029.8.19.12. If a taxation year of a taxpayer or a fiscal period of a partnership has fewer than 51 weeks, the amount determined under section 1029.8.19.9 in respect of the taxpayer for the year or of the partnership for the fiscal period, as the case may be, is to be replaced by the proportion of that amount that the number of days in the year or the fiscal period, as the case may be, is of 365.

2015, c. 36, s. 99.

1029.8.19.13. For the purpose of computing the amount that a taxpayer is deemed to have paid to the Minister for a taxation year that begins after 2 December 2014 but before 11 March 2020, under any of sections 1029.7, 1029.8.6, 1029.8.9.0.3 and 1029.8.16.1.4 (in this section referred to as a “particular provision”), the following rules apply:

(a)  the aggregate of all amounts each of which is the amount of wages that are, or of a portion of a consideration that is, referred to in any of subparagraphs a to i of the first paragraph of section 1029.7 and that is included in the taxpayer’s reducible expenditures for the year, determined with reference to subdivisions 2, 4 and 6, is to be reduced by the lesser of the exclusion threshold applicable to the taxpayer for the year and the aggregate of those amounts for the year;

(b)  the aggregate of all amounts each of which is the amount of an expenditure that is referred to in subparagraph a or b of the first paragraph of section 1029.8.6 and that is included in the taxpayer’s reducible expenditures for the year, determined with reference to subdivisions 2, 4 and 6, is to be reduced by the lesser of the exclusion threshold applicable to the taxpayer for the year and the aggregate of those amounts for the year;

(c)  the aggregate of all amounts each of which is the amount of an eligible fee or eligible fee balance, within the meaning assigned to those expressions by section 1029.8.9.0.2, that is included in the taxpayer’s reducible expenditures for the year, determined with reference to subdivisions 2, 4 and 6, is to be reduced by the lesser of the exclusion threshold applicable to the taxpayer for the year and the aggregate of those amounts for the year;

(d)  the aggregate of all amounts each of which is the amount of an expenditure that is referred to in any of subparagraphs a to c of the first paragraph of section 1029.8.16.1.4 and that is included in the taxpayer’s reducible expenditures for the year, determined with reference to subdivisions 2, 4 and 6, is to be reduced by the lesser of the exclusion threshold applicable to the taxpayer for the year and the aggregate of those amounts for the year; and

(e)  where the taxpayer is a corporation, the taxpayer’s expenditure limit for the year, determined for the purposes of any of sections 1029.7.2, 1029.8.6.2, 1029.8.9.0.3.1 and 1029.8.16.1.4.1, is to be reduced by the amount of the reduction, determined for the year in respect of the taxpayer under any of subparagraphs a to d, that relates to that expenditure limit.

For the purposes of the first paragraph, where the amount of a taxpayer’s reducible expenditures for a taxation year is greater than the exclusion threshold applicable to the taxpayer for the year and the taxpayer may be deemed, but for this subdivision, to have paid an amount to the Minister for the year under more than one particular provision, the exclusion threshold applicable to the taxpayer for the year is deemed to be equal, in relation to each particular provision, to the amount determined by the formula

A × B/C.

In the formula in the second paragraph,

(a)  A is the exclusion threshold that would otherwise be applicable to the taxpayer for the year;

(b)  B is the aggregate of all amounts each of which is an expenditure–referred to in any of paragraphs a to d of the definition of “reducible expenditures” in the first paragraph of section 1029.8.19.8–of the taxpayer for the year in relation to the particular provision; and

(c)  C is the taxpayer’s reducible expenditures for the year.

2015, c. 36, s. 99; 2021, c. 14, s. 126.

For the purpose of computing the amount that a taxpayer is deemed to have paid to the Minister for a taxation year that begins after 10 March 2020, under section 1029.7 or 1029.8.9.0.3 (each of which is referred to in this section as the “particular provision”), the following rules apply:

(a)  the aggregate of all amounts each of which is the amount of wages that are, or of a portion of a consideration that is, referred to in any of subparagraphs a to i of the first paragraph of section 1029.7 and that is included in the taxpayer’s reducible expenditures for the year, determined with reference to subdivisions 2, 4 and 6, is to be reduced by the lesser of the exclusion threshold applicable to the taxpayer for the year and the aggregate of those amounts for the year;

(b)  the aggregate of all amounts each of which is the amount of an eligible fee or eligible fee balance, within the meaning assigned to those expressions by section 1029.8.9.0.2, that may reasonably be considered to be attributable to expenditures made by an eligible research consortium for scientific research and experimental development related to a business of the taxpayer that are undertaken by the eligible research consortium in Québec, before 11 March 2020, in its fiscal period ending in the taxpayer’s taxation year and that is included in the taxpayer’s reducible expenditures for the year, determined with reference to subdivisions 2, 4 and 6, is to be reduced by the lesser of the exclusion threshold applicable to the taxpayer for the year and the aggregate of those amounts for the year; and

(c)  where the taxpayer is a corporation, the taxpayer’s expenditure limit for the year, determined for the purposes of section 1029.7.2 or 1029.8.9.0.3.1, is to be reduced by the amount of the reduction, determined for the year in respect of the taxpayer under subparagraph a or b, that relates to that expenditure limit.

Where the amount of a taxpayer’s reducible expenditures for a taxation year is greater than the exclusion threshold applicable to the taxpayer for the year and the taxpayer may be deemed, but for this subdivision, to have paid two or more amounts to the Minister for the year under sections 1029.7, 1029.8.6, 1029.8.9.0.3 and 1029.8.16.1.4, the exclusion threshold applicable to the taxpayer for the year is deemed, for the purposes of subparagraphs a and b of the first paragraph, to be equal to the amount determined, in relation to each particular provision, by the formula

A × B/C.

In the formula in the second paragraph,

(a)  A is the exclusion threshold that would otherwise be applicable to the taxpayer for the year;

(b)  B is the aggregate of all amounts each of which is an amount included in the taxpayer’s reducible expenditures for the year under paragraph a of the definition of “reducible expenditures” in the first paragraph of section 1029.8.19.8, where the particular provision is section 1029.7, or under paragraph c of that definition, where the particular provision is section 1029.8.9.0.3; and

For the purposes of the definitions of “labour expenditure”, “qualified computer-aided special effects and animation expenditure”, “qualified expenditure for services rendered outside the Montréal area” and “qualified labour expenditure” in the first paragraph, the following rules apply:

(a)  the date to which those definitions refer is the date that is 18 months after the end of the corporation’s fiscal period that includes the date of recording of the first trial composite of the property or, in the case of a series, the date of recording of the last first trial composite of an episode or broadcast that is part of the series; and

(b)  an expenditure that would, but for this subparagraph, be a labour expenditure of a corporation for a particular taxation year in respect of a property that is a Québec film production or would constitute production costs directly attributable to the production of such a property, such expenditure being otherwise incurred in the particular year, and that is outstanding at the particular time the corporation first files with the Minister the prescribed form containing prescribed information provided for in the first paragraph of section 1029.8.35 for that particular year, in respect of the property, or, in the absence of such filing with the Minister, on the corporation’s filing-due date for that particular year, is deemed not to be incurred in the particular year and to be incurred in a subsequent taxation year if that expenditure is paid in that subsequent year and after the particular time or after that filing-due date, as the case may be, or in the taxation year that immediately follows that subsequent year and before the time the corporation first files with the Minister that prescribed form for that subsequent year, in respect of the property.

For the purposes of the definitions of “qualified expenditure for services rendered outside the Montréal area” and “expenditure for services rendered outside the Montréal area” in the first paragraph, the Montréal area means the portion of the territory of Québec that is situated within 25 kilometres, by the shortest normally used road suitable for motor vehicles, from any point of the circumference of a circle having a radius of 25 kilometres the centre of which is the Papineau subway station.

For the purposes of paragraph b of the definition of “computer-aided special effects and animation expenditure” in the first paragraph, subparagraph i of paragraph b of the definition of “labour expenditure” in that first paragraph is to be read as if “if the individual is resident in Québec at any time in the calendar year in which the individual rendered those services” was inserted after “individual personally”.

For the purposes of subparagraph b of the second paragraph, remuneration based on the profits and revenues derived from the operation of a property that is a Québec film production does not include remuneration included in the production cost, cost or capital cost, as the case may be, of the property to a corporation if that remuneration

(a)  is determined in particular on the basis of the area contemplated for the distribution or broadcasting of the property; and

(b)  (subparagraph repealed);

(c)  may not be reimbursed if the property is not operated as first anticipated.

For the purpose of determining the qualified expenditure for services rendered outside the Montréal area of a corporation in respect of a property for a taxation year, the conversion factor applicable to the property is the factor determined by the formula

1 / A.

For the purpose of determining the qualified computer-aided special effects and animation expenditure of a corporation in respect of a property for a taxation year, the conversion factor applicable to the property is the factor determined by the formula

1 / B.

For the purpose of determining the qualified labour expenditure of a corporation for a taxation year that ends after 31 December 2008 in respect of a property for which an application for an advance ruling or, in the absence of such an application, an application for a qualification certificate is filed with the Société de développement des entreprises culturelles on or before 4 June 2014 or, if the Société de développement des entreprises culturelles considers that the work on the property was sufficiently advanced on that date, on or before 31 August 2014, the amount of a labour expenditure incurred by the corporation in respect of the property before 1 January 2009 is to be multiplied by

(a)  39.375/45, if subparagraph i of subparagraph a of the first paragraph of section 1029.8.35 applies in respect of the property; and

(b)  29.1667/35, if subparagraph ii of subparagraph a of the first paragraph of section 1029.8.35 applies in respect of the property.

For the purpose of determining the qualified labour expenditure of a corporation in respect of a property for a taxation year, the conversion factor applicable to the property is the factor determined by the formula

1 / (C + D).

In the formulas in the ninth, tenth and twelfth paragraphs,

(a)  A is the percentage applicable to the amount of the qualified expenditure for services rendered outside the Montréal area for a taxation year in respect of the property that was used to determine the amount deemed to be paid in respect of the property for that year under subparagraph a.1 of the first paragraph of section 1029.8.35;

(b)  B is the percentage applicable to the amount of the qualified computer-aided special effects and animation expenditure for a taxation year in respect of the property that was used to determine the amount deemed to be paid in respect of the property for that year under subparagraph b of the first paragraph of section 1029.8.35;

(c)  C is the percentage applicable to the amount of the qualified labour expenditure for a taxation year in respect of the property that was used to determine the amount deemed to be paid in respect of the property for that year under subparagraph a of the first paragraph of section 1029.8.35; and

(d)  D is the percentage applicable to the amount of the qualified labour expenditure for a taxation year in respect of the property that was used to determine the amount deemed to be paid in respect of the property for that year under subparagraph c of the first paragraph of section 1029.8.35.

i.  in the case where the particular year and, where such is the case, the fiscal period of the partnership end in the individual’s taxation year, the individual, or the partnership, may deduct, under section 130 or 130.1, an amount in respect of the property or that part thereof in computing his or its income from a business or property for that taxation year or that fiscal period, as the case may be, and

ii.  in other cases, it may reasonably be expected, on or before the person’s or the partnership’s filing-due date for the particular year, that the individual, or the partnership, is entitled to deduct, under section 130 or 130.1, an amount in respect of the property or that part thereof in computing his or its income from a business or property for a taxation year subsequent to that in which the particular year ends or for a fiscal period following that in which the particular year ends, as the case may be.

(d)  the amount of the labour expenditure of a corporation for a taxation year in respect of a property is to be reduced, where applicable, by the aggregate of all amounts each of which is the lesser of the particular amount that corresponds either to the salaries or wages described in paragraph a of that definition or to the portion of the remuneration described in any of subparagraphs i to iv of paragraph b of that definition, that are included in that labour expenditure of the corporation for the year, and the aggregate of

i.  the amount of any government assistance and non-government assistance attributable to the particular amount that the corporation has received, is entitled to receive or may reasonably expect to receive on or before the corporation’s filing-due date for that year,

ii.  the amount of any benefit or advantage attributable to the particular amount that a person or a partnership has obtained, is entitled to obtain or may reasonably expect to obtain on or before the corporation’s filing-due date for that year, whether in the form of a reimbursement, compensation or guarantee, in the form of proceeds of disposition of a property which exceed the fair market value of the property, or in any other form or manner, and

iii.  if the particular amount corresponds to the portion of the remuneration described in any of subparagraphs i to iv of paragraph b of that definition, the amount of any government assistance and non-government assistance that an eligible individual, another corporation or a partnership with whom or with which the corporation is not dealing at arm’s length has received, is entitled to receive or may reasonably expect to receive on or before the corporation’s filing-due date for that year, that is attributable to services rendered by an eligible individual or to the wages of the eligible employees of the eligible individual, the other corporation or the partnership, as the case may be, that are referred to in that subparagraph; and

(e)  where, for a taxation year, a corporation is not a qualified corporation, its labour expenditure for the year in respect of a property is deemed to be nil.

For the purposes of the definitions of “labour expenditure” and “qualified labour expenditure” in the first paragraph, the following rules apply:

(a)  the date to which those definitions refer is the date that is 18 months after the end of the corporation’s fiscal period that includes the date on which any of the three periods in respect of which an amount is deemed to have been paid by the corporation under section 1029.8.36.0.0.11 is completed; and

(b)  an expenditure that would, but for this subparagraph, be a labour expenditure of a corporation for a particular taxation year in respect of a property that is a qualified performance or would constitute production costs directly attributable to the production of such a property, such expenditure being otherwise incurred in the particular year, and that is outstanding at the particular time the corporation first files with the Minister the prescribed form containing prescribed information provided for in the first paragraph of section 1029.8.36.0.0.11 for that particular year, in respect of the property, or, in the absence of such filing with the Minister, on the corporation’s filing-due date for that particular year, is deemed not to be incurred in the particular year and to be incurred in a subsequent taxation year if that expenditure is paid in that subsequent year and after the particular time or after that filing-due date, as the case may be, or in the taxation year that immediately follows that subsequent year and before the time the corporation first files with the Minister that prescribed form for that subsequent year, in respect of the property.

For the purposes of subparagraph i of paragraph b of the definition of “qualified labour expenditure” in the first paragraph, the following rules apply:

(a)  the production costs directly attributable to the production of a property that is a qualified performance are the following amounts, but do not include however the costs incurred for the broadcasting or promotion of the property:

ii.  the production fees and administration costs;

(b)  the production costs directly attributable to the production of a property that is a qualified performance include the portion of the cost of acquisition of a particular property, owned by the corporation and used by it as part of the production of the property, which corresponds to the portion of the depreciation of the particular property, for a taxation year, determined in accordance with the generally accepted accounting principles, relating to the use of the particular property by the corporation in the year, as part of the production of the property;

(b.1)  despite subparagraphs a and b, the production costs directly attributable to the production of a property that is a circus show, an aquatic show or an ice show referred to in subparagraph b.1 of the second paragraph do not include an expenditure that the corporation incurred in respect of the property before the date determined in accordance with that subparagraph b.1 and the portion of the cost of acquisition of a particular property referred to in subparagraph b is determined without taking into account the use of the particular property by the corporation before that date;

(c)  the amount of a benefit attributable to production costs includes the portion of the proceeds of disposition by a corporation of a particular property used by it as part of the production of a property that is a qualified performance that relates to the portion of the cost of acquisition of the particular property that has already been included in the production costs of the property up to the amount of the portion of the cost of acquisition of the particular property that has already been so included in the production costs of the property; and

(d)  where that subparagraph i applies in respect of a property for which an application for an advance ruling or, in the absence of such an application, an application for a certificate is filed with the Société de développement des entreprises culturelles before 11 March 2020, the portion of that subparagraph before subparagraph 1 is to be read as if “65%” were replaced by “50%”.

For the purposes of subparagraph 2 of subparagraph i of paragraph a of the definition of “qualified labour expenditure” in the first paragraph, an amount of assistance received by a corporation, another person or a partnership, as the case may be, is deemed, in respect of a property that is a qualified performance, to be repaid by the corporation, the other person or the partnership in a taxation year, pursuant to a legal obligation, if that amount

(a)  reduced, for the purpose of computing the amount that a corporation is deemed to have paid to the Minister for a taxation year under section 1029.8.36.0.0.11, in respect of the property,

i.  because of subparagraph d of the second paragraph, a labour expenditure of the corporation in respect of the property,

ii.  because of subparagraph ii of paragraph a of the definition of “qualified labour expenditure” in the first paragraph, a qualified labour expenditure of the corporation in respect of the property, or

iii.  (subparagraph repealed);

(b)  was not received by the corporation, the other person or the partnership; and

(c)  ceased in the taxation year to be an amount that the corporation, the other person or the partnership may reasonably expect to receive.

For the purposes of paragraph c of the definition of “qualified corporation” in the first paragraph, a corporation whose mission is cultural does not include a corporation whose mandate consists in making investments.

Where the amount deemed to have been paid to the Minister by a corporation on account of its tax payable for a taxation year under section 1029.8.36.0.0.11 is determined,

(a)  in relation to the portion of a qualified labour expenditure referred to in subparagraph i of subparagraph a of the first paragraph of that section, the definition of “qualified labour expenditure” in the first paragraph is to be read as if “20/7” were replaced wherever it appears by “100/29.1667”; and

(b)  in relation to the portion of a qualified labour expenditure referred to in subparagraph b of the first paragraph of that section, the definition of “qualified labour expenditure” in the first paragraph is to be read as if “20/7” were replaced wherever it appears by “25/7”.

For the purposes of this division, the Minister may extend, by not more than one year, the period described in paragraph c of the definition of “qualified performance” in the first paragraph in respect of a property of a corporation, where the corporation establishes, to the Minister’s satisfaction, that it reduced the number of performances of the property before an audience or ceased the performance of the property and that the reduction or cessation, as the case may be, is directly attributable to the measures put in place to mitigate the effects of the COVID-19 pandemic. In such a case, the period for which the favourable advance ruling was given or for which the certificate was issued in respect of the corporation is deemed to correspond to the period so extended.

1029.8.36.0.3.9. A corporation that, for a taxation year, is a qualified corporation and encloses with the fiscal return it is required to file for the year under section 1000 the documents described in the fourth paragraph, is deemed, subject to the second paragraph, to have paid to the Minister on the corporation’s balance-due day for that year, on account of its tax payable for that year under this Part, an amount equal to the amount obtained by applying the appropriate percentage, determined in the third paragraph in relation to a property that is a multimedia title for the year, to the corporation’s qualified labour expenditure for the year in respect of the property.

For the purpose of computing the payments that a corporation referred to in the first paragraph is required to make under subparagraph a of the first paragraph of section 1027, or any of sections 1145, 1159.7, 1175 and 1175.19 where they refer to that subparagraph a, the corporation is deemed to have paid to the Minister, on account of the aggregate of its tax payable for the year under this Part and of its tax payable for the year under Parts IV, IV.1, VI and VI.1, on the date on or before which each payment is required to be made, an amount equal to the lesser of

(a)  the amount by which the amount determined under the first paragraph for the year exceeds the aggregate of all amounts each of which is the portion of that amount that may reasonably be considered to be deemed to have been paid to the Minister under this paragraph in the year but before that date; and

(b)  the amount by which the amount of that payment, determined without reference to this chapter, exceeds the aggregate of all amounts each of which is an amount that is deemed, under this chapter but otherwise than under the first paragraph, to have been paid to the Minister on that date, for the purpose of computing that payment.

The percentage to which the first paragraph refers in relation to a property that is a multimedia title for a taxation year is, as the case may be,

(a)  if an application for a qualification certificate in respect of the property is filed before 21 March 2012, or after 20 March 2012 but in respect of a taxation year that ended before 21 March 2012, the percentage that corresponds to

i.  37.5%, where it is certified that the property is produced without having been ordered, is to be commercialized and is available in a French version,

ii.  30%, where it is certified that the property is produced without having been ordered, is to be commercialized and is not available in a French version, and

iii.  26.25%, in any other case; or

(b)  if an application for a qualification certificate in respect of the property is filed after 20 March 2012 in respect of a taxation year that ends after that date, the percentage that corresponds, subject to the fifth paragraph, to

i.  37.5%, where it is certified that the property is to be commercialized and is available in a French version, and is not a vocational training title,

ii.  30%, where it is certified that the property is to be commercialized and is not available in a French version, and is not a vocational training title, and

iii.  26.25%, in any other case.

The documents to which the first paragraph refers are the following:

(a)  the prescribed form containing the prescribed information; and

(b)  a copy of the qualification certificate issued to the corporation by Investissement Québec, for the year and for the purposes of this division, in respect of a property that is a multimedia title.

Where this section applies in respect of all or part of a qualified labour expenditure that consists of salaries or wages incurred after 4 June 2014 and before 27 March 2015 or of amounts each of which is a portion of the consideration or one-half of a portion of the consideration that is paid under a contract entered into after 3 June 2014 and before 27 March 2015, the percentages of 37.5%, 30% and 26.25% in subparagraph b of the third paragraph are to be replaced by the percentages of 30%, 24% and 21%, respectively, in respect of all or part of the qualified labour expenditure.

For the purposes of the first paragraph, the amount, determined after the application of sections 1029.8.36.0.3.10.1 and 1029.8.36.0.3.13, of a salary or wages referred to in paragraph a or b of the definition of “qualified labour expenditure” in the first paragraph of section 1029.8.36.0.3.8, incurred and paid in respect of an eligible employee, may not exceed the amount obtained by multiplying $100,000 by the proportion that the number of days in the corporation’s taxation year during which the employee is an eligible employee is of 365.

The sixth paragraph does not apply in respect of a salary or wages paid in consideration of services rendered by an eligible employee as part of the production of a property if

(a)  the corporation makes an election in the prescribed form containing prescribed information in respect of a group of employees to which the employee belongs and the number of employees concerned by the election does not exceed 20% of the total number of eligible employees whose salaries or wages are taken into consideration in computing the corporation’s qualified labour expenditure for the year in respect of the property; or

(b)  where subparagraph a does not apply, the employee belongs to the group consisting of 20% of the total number of eligible employees whose salaries or wages taken into consideration in computing the corporation’s qualified labour expenditure for the year in respect of the property are the highest.

For the purposes of the seventh paragraph, if the result obtained after having applied the percentage of 20% to the total number of eligible employees is not a whole number, it must be rounded to the nearest whole number and, if it is equidistant from two consecutive whole numbers, it must be rounded to the higher of those two numbers.

(b)  the amount of a portion of the consideration paid that is referred to in paragraph b of the definition of “qualified labour expenditure” in the first paragraph of section 1029.8.36.0.3.8 and included in the qualified labour expenditure referred to in paragraph a, is to be reduced, where applicable, by the amount of any government assistance or non-government assistance that is attributable to the salaries or wages incurred and paid in respect of the eligible employees of an establishment of a person or partnership situated in Québec that are referred to in that paragraph b, or that would be so attributable if the person or partnership had such employees, and that the person or partnership has received, is entitled to receive or may reasonably expect to receive on or before the corporation’s filing-due date for the year.

2006, c. 13, s. 119; 2007, c. 12, s. 164.

(a)  the amount that the corporation is deemed to have paid to the Minister under section 1029.8.36.0.3.9 for that particular year; and

(b)  any amount that the corporation is deemed to have paid to the Minister for a year preceding the repayment year under this section in respect of an amount of repayment of that assistance.

1029.8.36.0.3.12. For the purposes of section 1029.8.36.0.3.11, an amount of assistance received by a person or partnership is deemed, in respect of a property that is a multimedia title, to be repaid by the person or partnership in a taxation year, pursuant to a legal obligation, if that amount

(a)  reduced, because of section 1029.8.36.0.3.10.1, a qualified labour expenditure of a qualified corporation for the purpose of computing the amount it is deemed to have paid to the Minister for a taxation year under section 1029.8.36.0.3.9;

1029.8.36.0.3.13. If, in respect of eligible production work in relation to a property that is a multimedia title, a person or partnership has obtained, is entitled to obtain or may reasonably expect to obtain a benefit or advantage, other than a benefit or advantage that may reasonably be attributed to the carrying out of the eligible production work, whether in the form of a reimbursement, compensation or guarantee, in the form of proceeds of disposition of a property which exceed the fair market value of the property, or in any other form or manner, or a person or partnership is deemed to have obtained or to be entitled to obtain such a benefit or advantage on a determination of the Minister to that effect, the amount of the salaries or wages incurred or of a portion of a consideration paid, included in the qualified labour expenditure of a qualified corporation, for a taxation year, in respect of the property, is, for the purpose of computing the amount that is deemed to have been paid to the Minister for the year by the corporation under section 1029.8.36.0.3.9, to be reduced, where applicable, by the amount of the benefit or advantage attributable to the salaries or wages or to the portion of a consideration, as the case may be, that the person or partnership has obtained, is entitled to obtain or may reasonably expect to obtain, or is deemed to have obtained or to be entitled to obtain, on or before the corporation’s filing-due date for that year.

(b)  a corporation that would be exempt from tax for the year under section 985, but for section 192; or

(c)  (subparagraph repealed);

(d)  a corporation that holds a qualification certificate in respect of a large investment project, within the meaning of the first paragraph of section 737.18.17.14, or a corporation that is a member of a partnership that holds such a qualification certificate, where the year is included in whole or in part in the period that begins on the date of issue of the initial qualification certificate and ends on the last day of the tax-free period, within the meaning of that first paragraph, in relation to the large investment project;

“qualified labour expenditure” of a corporation for a taxation year means, subject to the second paragraph, the aggregate of

(a)  the salaries or wages attributable to eligible multimedia titles that were incurred by the corporation in the year and paid, in respect of its eligible employees, for eligible production work relating to such titles;

(b)  the aggregate of all amounts each of which is the portion of the consideration paid by the corporation, under the terms of a contract, for eligible production work that was carried out on its behalf in the year in relation to eligible multimedia titles, to a person or partnership who or which carried out all or a part of the eligible production work and with whom or with which the corporation is not dealing at arm’s length at the time the contract is entered into, that may reasonably be attributed to the salaries or wages attributable to the titles that the person or partnership incurred or paid in respect of its eligible employees, or that could be so attributed if that person or partnership had such employees; and

(c)  the aggregate of all amounts each of which is one-half of the portion of the consideration paid by the corporation, under the terms of a contract, for eligible production work relating to eligible multimedia titles, to a person or partnership with whom or which the corporation is dealing at arm’s length at the time the contract is entered into, that may reasonably be attributed to the eligible production work carried out in Québec, in the year and on its behalf by the employees of that person or partnership, or that could be so attributed if that person or partnership had such employees;

“salary or wages” means the income computed pursuant to Chapters I and II of Title II of Book III.

For the purposes of the definition of “qualified labour expenditure” in the first paragraph, an amount incurred in a taxation year that relates to work to be carried out in a subsequent taxation year is deemed not to have been incurred in that year, but to have been incurred in the subsequent year during which the work to which the amount refers is carried out.

For the purposes of the definition of “eligible employee” in the first paragraph, the following rules apply:

(a)  where, during a period of a taxation year, an employee reports for work at an establishment of an employer situated in Québec and at an establishment of the employer situated outside Québec, the employee is deemed, for that period,

i.  unless subparagraph ii applies, to report for work only at the establishment situated in Québec, or

ii.  to report for work only at the establishment situated outside Québec if, during that period, the employee reports for work mainly at an establishment of the employer situated outside Québec; and

(b)  where, during a period of a taxation year, an employee is not required to report for work at an establishment of an employer and the employee’s wages in relation to that period are paid from such an establishment situated in Québec, the employee is deemed to report for work at that establishment if the duties performed by the employee during that period are performed mainly in Québec.

1029.8.36.0.3.19. A corporation that, for a taxation year, is a qualified corporation and encloses with the fiscal return it is required to file for the year under section 1000 the documents described in the fourth paragraph is deemed, subject to the second paragraph, to have paid to the Minister on the corporation’s balance-due day for that year, on account of its tax payable for the year under this Part, an amount equal to the amount obtained by applying the appropriate percentage determined in the third paragraph in its respect for the year to its qualified labour expenditure for the year.

For the purpose of computing the payments that a corporation referred to in the first paragraph is required to make under subparagraph a of the first paragraph of section 1027, or any of sections 1145, 1159.7, 1175 and 1175.19 where they refer to that subparagraph a, the corporation is deemed to have paid to the Minister, on account of the aggregate of its tax payable for the year under this Part and of its tax payable for the year under Parts IV, IV.1, VI and VI.1, on the date on or before which each payment is required to be made, an amount equal to the lesser of

(a)  the amount by which the amount determined under the first paragraph for the year exceeds the aggregate of all amounts each of which is the portion of that amount that may reasonably be considered to be deemed to have been paid to the Minister under this paragraph in the year but before that date; and

(b)  the amount by which the amount of that payment, determined without reference to this chapter, exceeds the aggregate of all amounts each of which is an amount that is deemed, under this chapter but otherwise than under the first paragraph, to have been paid to the Minister on that date, for the purpose of computing that payment.

The percentage to which the first paragraph refers for a taxation year is, as the case may be,

(a)  if an application for a qualification certificate is filed for the year before 21 March 2012, or after 20 March 2012 but in respect of a taxation year that ended before 21 March 2012, the percentage that corresponds to

i.  37.5%, where the valid qualification certificate issued to the corporation for the year certifies that at least 75% of the eligible multimedia titles produced by the corporation in the year are produced without having been ordered, are to be commercialized and are available in a French version, or that at least 75% of its gross revenue for the year is derived from such eligible multimedia titles,

ii.  30%, where subparagraph i does not apply and the valid qualification certificate issued to the corporation for the year certifies that at least 75% of the eligible multimedia titles produced by the corporation in the year are produced without having been ordered and are to be commercialized, or that at least 75% of its gross revenue for the year is derived from such eligible multimedia titles, and

iii.  26.25%, in any other case; or

(b)  if an application for a qualification certificate in respect of the corporation’s activities is filed after 20 March 2012 in respect of a taxation year that ends after that date, the percentage that corresponds, subject to the fifth paragraph, to

i.  37.5%, where the qualification certificate issued to the corporation for the year in respect of its activities certifies that at least 75% of the eligible multimedia titles produced by the corporation in the year are to be commercialized, are available in a French version and are not vocational training titles, or that at least 75% of its gross revenue for the year is derived from such eligible multimedia titles,

ii.  30%, where subparagraph i does not apply and the qualification certificate issued to the corporation for the year in respect of its activities certifies that at least 75% of the eligible multimedia titles produced by the corporation in the year are to be commercialized and are not vocational training titles, or that at least 75% of its gross revenue for the year is derived from such eligible multimedia titles, and

iii.  26.25%, in any other case.

The documents to which the first paragraph refers are the following:

(a)  the prescribed form containing the prescribed information;

(b)  a copy of the qualification certificate issued to the corporation by Investissement Québec, for the year and for the purposes of this division, in respect of its activities; and

(c)  a copy of the qualification certificate issued to the corporation by Investissement Québec, for the year and for the purposes of this division, in respect of eligible multimedia titles.

Where this section applies in respect of all or part of a qualified labour expenditure that consists of salaries or wages incurred after 4 June 2014 and before 27 March 2015 or of amounts each of which is a portion of the consideration or one-half of a portion of the consideration that is paid under a contract entered into after 3 June 2014 and before 27 March 2015, the percentages of 37.5%, 30% and 26.25% in subparagraph b of the third paragraph are to be replaced by the percentages of 30%, 24% and 21%, respectively, in respect of all or part of the qualified labour expenditure.

For the purposes of the first paragraph, the amount, determined after the application of sections 1029.8.36.0.3.21 and 1029.8.36.0.3.24, of a salary or wages referred to in paragraph a or b of the definition of “qualified labour expenditure” in the first paragraph of section 1029.8.36.0.3.18, incurred and paid in respect of an eligible employee, may not exceed the amount obtained by multiplying $100,000 by the proportion that the number of days in the corporation’s taxation year during which the employee is an eligible employee is of 365.

The sixth paragraph does not apply in respect of a salary or wages paid in consideration of services rendered by an eligible employee if

(a)  the corporation makes an election in the prescribed form containing prescribed information in respect of a group of employees to which the employee belongs and the number of employees concerned by the election does not exceed 20% of the total number of eligible employees whose salaries or wages are taken into consideration in computing the corporation’s qualified labour expenditure for the year; or

(b)  where subparagraph a does not apply, the employee belongs to the group consisting of 20% of the total number of eligible employees whose salaries or wages taken into consideration in computing the corporation’s qualified labour expenditure for the year are the highest.

For the purposes of the seventh paragraph, if the result obtained after having applied the percentage of 20% to the total number of eligible employees is not a whole number, it must be rounded to the nearest whole number and, if it is equidistant from two consecutive whole numbers, it must be rounded to the higher of those two numbers.

1029.8.36.0.3.21. For the purpose of computing the amount that a qualified corporation is deemed to have paid to the Minister for a taxation year under section 1029.8.36.0.3.19, the following rules apply:

(a)  the amount of the salaries or wages incurred or of a portion of the consideration paid, included in the qualified labour expenditure of the corporation for the year, is to be reduced, where applicable, by the amount of any government assistance or non-government assistance that is attributable to the salaries or wages or to the portion of the consideration, as the case may be, that the corporation has received, is entitled to receive or may reasonably expect to receive on or before the corporation’s filing-due date for the year; and

(b)  the amount of a portion of the consideration paid that is referred to in paragraph b of the definition of “qualified labour expenditure” in the first paragraph of section 1029.8.36.0.3.18 and included in the qualified labour expenditure referred to in paragraph a, is to be reduced, where applicable, by the amount of any government assistance or non-government assistance that is attributable to the salaries or wages incurred and paid in respect of the eligible employees of an establishment of a person or partnership situated in Québec that are referred to in that paragraph b, or that would be so attributable if the person or partnership had such employees, and that the person or partnership has received, is entitled to receive or may reasonably expect to receive on or before the corporation’s filing-due date for the year.

1999, c. 83, s. 198; 2007, c. 12, s. 171.

1029.8.36.0.3.22. If, in a taxation year, in this section referred to as the “repayment year”, a person or partnership pays, pursuant to a legal obligation, an amount that may reasonably be considered to be a repayment of government assistance or non-government assistance that the person or partnership received and that reduced, in accordance with section 1029.8.36.0.3.21, the qualified labour expenditure of a corporation for a particular taxation year for the purpose of computing the amount that the corporation is deemed to have paid to the Minister for the particular year under section 1029.8.36.0.3.19, the corporation is deemed, if it encloses the prescribed form with the fiscal return it is required to file for the repayment year under section 1000, to have paid to the Minister on the corporation’s balance-due day for the repayment year, on account of its tax payable for that year under this Part, an amount equal to the amount by which the amount that it would be deemed to have paid to the Minister for that particular year under section 1029.8.36.0.3.19, if any amount of such assistance so repaid at or before the end of the repayment year had reduced, for the particular year, the amount of any government assistance or non-government assistance referred to in section 1029.8.36.0.3.21, exceeds the aggregate of

(a)  the amount that the corporation is deemed to have paid to the Minister under section 1029.8.36.0.3.19 for that particular year; and

(b)  any amount that the corporation is deemed to have paid to the Minister for a year preceding the repayment year under this section in respect of an amount of repayment of that assistance.

1029.8.36.0.3.23. For the purposes of section 1029.8.36.0.3.22, an amount of assistance received by a person or partnership is deemed to be repaid by the person or partnership in a particular taxation year, pursuant to a legal obligation, if that amount

(a)  reduced, because of section 1029.8.36.0.3.21, the qualified labour expenditure of a corporation for a taxation year for the purpose of computing the amount it is deemed to have paid to the Minister under section 1029.8.36.0.3.19;

(b)  was not received by the person or partnership; and

(c)  ceased in the particular taxation year to be an amount that the person or partnership may reasonably expect to receive.

1029.8.36.0.3.24. If, in respect of eligible production work relating to eligible multimedia titles, a person or partnership has obtained, is entitled to obtain or may reasonably expect to obtain a benefit or advantage, other than a benefit or advantage that may reasonably be attributed to the carrying out of the eligible production work, whether in the form of a reimbursement, compensation or guarantee, in the form of proceeds of disposition of a property which exceed the fair market value of the property, or in any other form or manner, or a person or partnership is deemed to have obtained or to be entitled to obtain such a benefit or advantage on a determination by the Minister to that effect, the amount of the salaries or wages incurred or of a portion of a consideration paid, included in the qualified labour expenditure of a qualified corporation for a taxation year, is, for the purpose of computing the amount that is deemed to have been paid to the Minister for the year by the corporation under section 1029.8.36.0.3.19, to be reduced, where applicable, by the amount of the benefit or advantage attributable to the salaries or wages or to the portion of a consideration, as the case may be, that the person or partnership has obtained, is entitled to obtain or may reasonably expect to obtain, or is deemed to have obtained or to be entitled to obtain, on or before the corporation’s filing-due date for that year.

§ 2 . — Credit

2006, c. 13, s. 129.

1029.8.36.0.3.73. A qualified corporation for a taxation year that, in the year, has an establishment in Québec and carries on an eligible business in Québec, other than an excluded corporation for the year, and that encloses the documents referred to in the fifth paragraph with the fiscal return it is required to file for the year under section 1000, is deemed, subject to the fourth paragraph, to have paid to the Minister on the qualified corporation’s balance-due day for that year, on account of its tax payable for that year under this Part, an amount equal to 20% of the aggregate of all amounts each of which is the qualified wages incurred by the qualified corporation after 31 December 2004 and in the year, but before 1 January 2017, in respect of an eligible employee, in relation to an eligible contract, for all or part of that year.

Despite the first paragraph and subject to the third paragraph, no corporation may be deemed to have paid an amount to the Minister for a taxation year, for the purposes of this division, in respect of more than 2,000 eligible employees.

If the corporation referred to in the first paragraph is associated in a taxation year with at least one other qualified corporation for the year, the reference to “2,000” in the second paragraph is to be replaced by the number of employees attributed to the corporation, in respect of the taxation year, in accordance with the agreement described in section 1029.8.36.0.3.74.

For the purpose of computing the payments that a corporation referred to in the first paragraph is required to make under subparagraph a of the first paragraph of section 1027, or any of sections 1145, 1159.7, 1175 and 1175.19 where they refer to that subparagraph a, the corporation is deemed to have paid to the Minister, on account of the aggregate of its tax payable for the year under this Part and of its tax payable for the year under Parts IV, IV.1, VI and VI.1, on the date on or before which each payment is required to be made, an amount equal to the lesser of

(a)  the amount by which the amount determined under the first paragraph for the year exceeds the aggregate of all amounts each of which is the portion of that amount that may reasonably be considered to be deemed to have been paid to the Minister under this paragraph in the year but before that date; and

(b)  the amount by which the amount of that payment, determined without reference to this chapter, exceeds the aggregate of all amounts each of which is an amount that is deemed, under this chapter but otherwise than under this division, to have been paid to the Minister on that date, for the purpose of computing that payment.

The documents to which the first paragraph refers are

(a)  the prescribed form containing the prescribed information;

(b)  a copy of the following documents:

i.  the valid qualification certificate issued in respect of the corporation by Investissement Québec for the purposes of this division,

ii.  any valid qualification certificate issued to the corporation, for the purposes of this division, in respect of an eligible contract, and

iii.  any valid qualification certificate issued to the corporation for the year in relation to an eligible employee in respect of whom the corporation is deemed to have paid an amount for the year to the Minister under the first paragraph; and

(c)  if the third paragraph applies, the agreement described in section 1029.8.36.0.3.74 filed in prescribed form.

2006, c. 13, s. 129; 2006, c. 36, s. 135; 2015, c. 21, s. 433.

1029.8.36.0.3.74. The agreement to which the third paragraph of section 1029.8.36.0.3.73 refers in respect of a taxation year means an agreement under which all of the qualified corporations for the year that are associated with each other in the year, hereinafter called the “group of associated corporations”, attribute to each corporation, for the purposes of that third paragraph, a maximum number of eligible employees in respect of whom a qualified corporation is deemed to have paid an amount to the Minister for the purposes of this division; the total of the numbers so attributed to corporations that are members of the group of associated corporations for the taxation year is not to exceed 2,000.

If the total of the numbers attributed in the agreement described in the first paragraph, in respect of a taxation year, exceeds 2,000, the maximum number of eligible employees attributed to each corporation that is a member of the group of associated corporations for the year is deemed, for the purposes of the first paragraph, to be equal to the proportion of 2,000 that the number attributed for the year in the agreement to that corporation is of the total of the numbers attributed for the year in the agreement.

1029.8.36.0.3.76. If, before 1 January 2018, a corporation pays in a taxation year, in this section referred to as the “repayment year”, pursuant to a legal obligation, an amount that may reasonably be considered to be a repayment of government assistance or non-government assistance that has been taken into account for the purpose of computing qualified wages incurred in a particular taxation year by the corporation in respect of an eligible employee in respect of whom the corporation is deemed to have paid an amount to the Minister under section 1029.8.36.0.3.73 for the particular taxation year, the corporation is deemed, if it encloses the prescribed form containing the prescribed information with the fiscal return it is required to file for the repayment year under section 1000, to have paid to the Minister on the corporation’s balance-due day for the repayment year, on account of its tax payable for that year under this Part, an amount equal to the amount by which the amount that it would be deemed to have paid to the Minister for the particular year under section 1029.8.36.0.3.73 in respect of the qualified wages, if any amount of such assistance so repaid at or before the end of the repayment year had reduced, for the particular year, the amount determined under subparagraph i of paragraph b of the definition of “qualified wages” in the first paragraph of section 1029.8.36.0.3.72, exceeds the aggregate of

(a)  the amount that the corporation is deemed to have paid to the Minister for the particular year under section 1029.8.36.0.3.73 in respect of the qualified wages; and

(b)  any amount that the corporation is deemed to have paid to the Minister for a taxation year preceding the repayment year under this section in respect of an amount of repayment of that assistance.

2006, c. 13, s. 129; 2006, c. 36, s. 137.

1029.8.36.0.3.77. For the purposes of section 1029.8.36.0.3.76, an amount of assistance is deemed to be repaid by a corporation in a taxation year, pursuant to a legal obligation, if that amount

(a)  reduced, because of subparagraph i of paragraph b of the definition of “qualified wages” in the first paragraph of section 1029.8.36.0.3.72, the amount of the wages referred to in that paragraph b, for the purpose of computing qualified wages in respect of which the corporation is deemed to have paid an amount to the Minister under section 1029.8.36.0.3.73;

(b)  was not received by the corporation; and

(c)  ceased in the taxation year to be an amount that the corporation may reasonably expect to receive.

2006, c. 13, s. 129; 2006, c. 36, s. 138.

1029.8.36.0.3.78. If it may reasonably be considered that one of the main reasons for the separate existence of two or more corporations in a taxation year is to cause the maximum number of eligible employees set out in the second paragraph of section 1029.8.36.0.3.73, in respect of whom a corporation is deemed to have paid an amount to the Minister for a taxation year, not to be replaced by a smaller number in accordance with the third paragraph of section 1029.8.36.0.3.73 and section 1029.8.36.0.3.74, those corporations are deemed, for the purposes of this division, to be associated with each other at the end of the year.

The date to which the first paragraph refers is the earlier of

(a)  the 730th day of the period that begins on the date of the acquisition of the property by the corporation; and

“wages” means the income computed under Chapters I and II of Title II of Book III.

For the purposes of the definition of “specified activity” in the first paragraph, a corporation is deemed to carry out a specified activity in a designated site in the part of a taxation year for which it is authorized by Investissement Québec to carry on its business outside that site, if the activity is carried out in Québec in that part of the year.

For the purposes of paragraph a of the definition of “qualified property” in the first paragraph, where a corporation acquires depreciable property from a person, the property acquired by the corporation is deemed not to have been used for any purpose whatever before its acquisition by the corporation nor to have been acquired, before that acquisition, for use for a purpose other than lease to an exempt corporation, if the corporation continues the carrying out of a project of the person and

(a)  the person did not acquire the property before the reference date of the corporation;

(b)  the property has not been used, or acquired for use or lease, for any purpose whatever before being acquired by the person; and

For the purposes of paragraph d of the definition of “qualified property” in the first paragraph, where, at any time that is not before the corporation’s reference date, a corporation has acquired or leased property that is used by the corporation in the course of carrying on a business and that would be qualified property of the corporation if the definition of “qualified property” were read without reference to paragraph d thereof, the corporation is deemed to use the property principally in a qualified centre and, exclusively or almost exclusively, to earn income from a business it carries on in that centre, throughout the period that begins at that time and that ends on the day on which Investissement Québec issues a certificate referred to in paragraph a of section 771.12 to the corporation.

Despite paragraphs b and c of the definition of “eligibility period” in the first paragraph, the eligibility period of a corporation that is a specified corporation in respect of a biotechnology development centre for a taxation year does not include the part of any taxation year that begins at the time the corporation ceases to be a specified corporation in respect of that centre for that year.

Despite the definition of “eligibility period” in the first paragraph, the eligibility period of a corporation that is an exempt corporation does not include the part of a taxation year that is described in the fourth paragraph of section 771.1.

For the purpose of applying the definition of “specified period” in the first paragraph to a corporation that is a member of an associated group in its first taxation year in which the corporation carries on or may carry on its business in a particular designated site, the effective date of the certificate that was issued to the corporation for its first taxation year in which the corporation carried on or could carry on its business in any designated site to which subparagraph i of paragraph a of that definition refers is deemed to be the earliest of all the dates each of which is the effective date of the certificate that was issued to a member of that associated group for the member’s first taxation year in which the member carried on or could carry on business in such a site.

If any corporation that has been an exempt corporation for a taxation year subsequently becomes a specified corporation, the date of coming into force of the certificate, referred to in paragraph a of section 771.12, that was issued in respect of that corporation is deemed, for the purposes of the definition of “specified period” in the first paragraph and of the seventh paragraph, to be the date of coming into force of the certificate referred to in paragraph c of the definition of “specified corporation” in the first paragraph that was issued to that corporation for its first taxation year in which it carried on or could carry on its business in any designated site.

For the purposes of the definition of “specified wages” in the first paragraph, a specified employee who spends 90% or more of working time on a specified activity is deemed to spend all working time thereon.

Subparagraph iv of paragraph b of the definition of “specified corporation” in the first paragraph does not apply for a taxation year to a corporation that carries on or may carry on its business in a biotechnology development centre if, after 30 March 2004, Investissement Québec has issued to the corporation a certificate, referred to in paragraph c of that definition, for the year.

2000, c. 39, s. 176; 2001, c. 7, s. 169; 2001, c. 51, s. 147; 2001, c. 53, s. 260; 2001, c. 69, s. 12; 2002, c. 9, s. 76; 2003, c. 9, s. 221; 2004, c. 21, s. 338; 2005, c. 23, s. 167; 2005, c. 38, s. 255; 2006, c. 13, s. 130; 2006, c. 36, s. 139; 2007, c. 12, s. 175; 2009, c. 15, s. 242.

1029.8.36.0.18. The amount to which paragraph a of the definition of “qualified wages” in the first paragraph of section 1029.8.36.0.17 refers for a taxation year of a corporation in relation to an eligible employee is equal,

(a)  where the corporation carries on or may carry on its business in a new economy centre and its taxation year ends before 16 June 1999, to the amount obtained by multiplying $41,667 by the proportion that the number of days in the taxation year that are within the eligibility period of the corporation during which the employee qualifies as an eligible employee of the corporation is of 365;

(b)  where the corporation carries on or may carry on its business in a new economy centre and its taxation year includes 16 June 1999, to the aggregate of

i.  the amount obtained by multiplying $41,667 by the proportion that the number of days in the taxation year before 16 June 1999 that are within the eligibility period of the corporation during which the employee qualifies as an eligible employee of the corporation is of 365, and

ii.  the amount obtained by multiplying $37,500 by the proportion that the number of days in the taxation year after 15 June 1999 that are within the eligibility period of the corporation during which the employee qualifies as an eligible employee of the corporation is of 365; and

(c)  in any other case, to the amount obtained by multiplying $37,500 by the proportion that the number of days in the taxation year that are within the eligibility period of the corporation during which the employee qualifies as an eligible employee of the corporation is of 365.

The amount to which paragraph a of the definition of “specified wages” in the first paragraph of section 1029.8.36.0.17 refers for a taxation year of a corporation in relation to a specified employee of a designated site is equal to the amount obtained by multiplying $37,500 by the proportion that the number of days in the specified period of the corporation for the year in respect of the designated site during which the employee qualifies as a specified employee of the corporation is of 365.

2000, c. 39, s. 176; 2003, c. 9, s. 222.

1029.8.36.0.18.1. For the purposes of sections 1029.8.36.0.19 and 1029.8.36.0.20, a corporation is deemed to be an exempt corporation for the taxation year in which it ceases to be an exempt corporation.

2003, c. 9, s. 223.

1029.8.36.0.18.2. If, following an acquisition of control referred to in subparagraph f of the first paragraph of section 771.13 or an election made under subparagraph g of that paragraph, a corporation ceases to be an exempt corporation at the beginning of the taxation year that follows the taxation year in which the acquisition of control occurs or the election becomes effective, the following rules apply, as the case may be:

(a)  for the purposes of subparagraph iv of paragraph b of the definition of “specified corporation” in the first paragraph of section 1029.8.36.0.17, the corporation is deemed to be a specified corporation at the time of the acquisition of control;

(b)  if the definition of “specified corporation” in the first paragraph of section 1029.8.36.0.17 applies to the corporation for the taxation year in which the acquisition of control occurs or the election becomes effective, it is to be read without reference to its subparagraph iii of paragraph b;

DIVISION II.6.0.8 CREDIT FOR THE PRODUCTION OF ETHANOL IN QUÉBEC

2006, c. 36, s. 147.

§ 1 . — Interpretation

2006, c. 36, s. 147.

1029.8.36.0.94. In this division,

“associated group” in a taxation year means all the corporations that meet the following conditions:

(a)  the corporations are associated with each other in the taxation year; and

(b)  each corporation is a qualified corporation for the taxation year;

“eligible cellulosic ethanol” has the meaning assigned by section 1029.8.36.0.103;

“eligible ethanol” means the ethyl alcohol with the chemical formula C2H5OH (other than eligible cellulosic ethanol) produced from renewable materials to be sold as a product to be blended directly with gasoline or for use as an input in the reformulation of gasoline or the production of ethyl tertiary-butyl ether;

“eligible production of ethanol” of a qualified corporation for a particular month means the total number of litres of ethanol that corresponds to all of the qualified corporation’s shipments of eligible ethanol for the particular month;

“ethanol production unit” of a qualified corporation means all the property the qualified corporation uses in producing eligible ethanol or eligible cellulosic ethanol in Québec;

“month” means, in the case where a taxation year begins on a day in a calendar month other than the first day of that month, any period that begins on that day in a calendar month within the taxation year, other than the month in which the year ends, and that ends on the day immediately preceding that day in the calendar month that follows that month or, for the month in which the taxation year ends, on the day on which that year ends, and if there is no such immediately preceding day in the following month, on the last day of that month;

“qualified corporation” for a taxation year means a corporation that, in the year, has an establishment in Québec where it carries on a business engaged in the production of eligible ethanol, other than a corporation

(a)  that is exempt from tax for the year under Book VIII; or

(b)  that would be exempt from tax for the year under section 985, but for section 192;

“shipment of eligible ethanol” of a qualified corporation in respect of a particular month means a shipment consisting of a number of litres of eligible ethanol that the qualified corporation produces in Québec after 17 March 2011 and before 1 April 2023, that is sold in Québec, in that period, to the holder of a collection officer’s permit issued under the Fuel Tax Act (chapter T-1) (in subparagraph b of the second paragraph referred to as the “purchaser”) who takes possession of the ethanol in the particular month and before 1 April 2023, and that is intended for Québec.

For the purposes of the definition of “shipment of eligible ethanol” in the first paragraph, a shipment of ethanol is destined for Québec only if

(a)  where the shipment is delivered by the qualified corporation, the shipment is delivered and possession is taken in Québec; or

(b)  where subparagraph a does not apply, the manifest issued to the purchaser on taking possession of the shipment shows the shipment was delivered in Québec.

2006, c. 36, s. 147; 2011, c. 34, s. 79; 2017, c. 29, s. 181; 2019, c. 14, s. 333.

1029.8.36.0.94.1. If, after 17 March 2011, a qualified corporation produces eligible ethanol in Québec and stores it in a reservoir with another type of ethanol it produced or with ethanol that it acquired from a person or partnership and that constitutes another source of supply for the reservoir, each shipment of ethanol the qualified corporation draws from that reservoir for a particular month (in this section referred to as a “shipment of mixed ethanol”) is deemed to consist of distinct shipments derived from each of the qualified corporation’s ethanol production units or each of the other sources of supply, as the case may be, that feeds the reservoir and in respect of which the number of litres is equal to the amount obtained by multiplying the number of litres making up the shipment of mixed ethanol by the proportion determined in respect of each production unit or each of the other sources of supply by the formula

(A + B)/(B + C + D).

In the formula in the first paragraph,

(a)  A is the portion of the stock of mixed ethanol in the reservoir that is attributable to the qualified corporation’s ethanol production unit or the other source of supply, as the case may be, at the beginning of the particular month;

(b)  B is the number of litres of ethanol derived from the qualified corporation’s ethanol production unit or the other source of supply, as the case may be, that is added to the reservoir during the particular month;

(c)  C is the number of litres of ethanol that is added to the reservoir during the particular month and that is not derived from the qualified corporation’s ethanol production unit or the other source of supply, as the case may be; and

(d)  D is the number of litres of ethanol that corresponds to the total stock of mixed ethanol in the reservoir at the beginning of the particular month.

For the purposes of subparagraph a of the second paragraph, the portion of the stock of mixed ethanol in the reservoir that is attributable to the qualified corporation’s ethanol production unit or the other source of supply, as the case may be, at the beginning of the particular month is equal to the number of litres of ethanol obtained by multiplying the number of litres of ethanol that corresponds to the total stock of mixed ethanol in the reservoir at the beginning of the particular month by the proportion referred to in the first paragraph that applied for the month that precedes the particular month in respect of the qualified corporation’s ethanol production unit or the other source of supply, as the case may be.

For the purposes of this division, the portion of a shipment of mixed ethanol for a particular month that, under the first paragraph, is deemed to be a distinct shipment derived from an ethanol production unit of a qualified corporation is deemed to be a shipment of eligible ethanol of the qualified corporation for the particular month only if the qualified corporation’s facilities allow for the precise measurement of the number of litres of ethanol derived from each of the qualified corporation’s ethanol production units and from each of the other sources of supply that feeds the reservoir before the ethanol is added.

For the purposes of this division, if, after 17 March 2011, a qualified corporation produces eligible ethanol in Québec and stores it in a reservoir with ethanol that it produced before 18 March 2011 or that it acquired before that date (in this paragraph referred to as the “previous stock”), the following rules apply:

(a)  despite the first paragraph, a particular shipment of ethanol drawn from the reservoir is deemed to be a shipment drawn from the previous stock up to the number of litres that corresponds to the previous stock immediately before the particular shipment; and

(b)  the number of litres of ethanol that corresponds to the total stock of mixed ethanol in the reservoir at the beginning of the particular month must be determined without taking the previous stock into account.

§ 2 . — Credit

2006, c. 36, s. 147.

1029.8.36.0.95. A corporation that, for a taxation year, is a qualified corporation and that encloses the documents referred to in the third paragraph with the fiscal return the corporation is required to file under section 1000 for the taxation year is deemed, subject to the fourth paragraph, to have paid to the Minister on the corporation’s balance-due day for the taxation year, on account of its tax payable for the taxation year under this Part, an amount equal to the amount by which the amount determined under section 1029.8.36.0.99 is exceeded by the aggregate of all amounts each of which is an amount determined, for a particular month of the taxation year, by the formula

A × $0.03

In the formula in the first paragraph, A, expressed as a number of litres, is the lesser of

(a)  the qualified corporation’s eligible production of ethanol for the particular month; and

(b)  the qualified corporation’s monthly ceiling on the production of ethanol for the particular month.

The documents to which the first paragraph refers are the following:

(a)  the prescribed form containing the prescribed information;

(b)  a copy of a report specifying, in respect of each month of the taxation year, the qualified corporation’s eligible production of ethanol; and

(c)  if applicable, a copy of the agreement described in section 1029.8.36.0.96.

For the purpose of computing the payments that a qualified corporation is required to make under subparagraph a of the first paragraph of section 1027, or any of sections 1145, 1159.7, 1175 and 1175.19 if they refer to that subparagraph a, that corporation is deemed to have paid to the Minister, on account of the aggregate of its tax payable for the taxation year under this Part and of its tax payable for the taxation year under Parts IV, IV.1, VI and VI.1, on the date on or before which each payment is required to be made, an amount equal to the lesser of

(a)  the amount by which the amount determined under the first paragraph for the year exceeds the aggregate of all amounts each of which is the portion of that amount that may reasonably be considered to be deemed to have been paid to the Minister under this paragraph in the taxation year but before that date; and

(b)  the amount by which the amount of that payment, determined without reference to this chapter, exceeds the aggregate of all amounts each of which is an amount that is deemed, under this chapter but otherwise than under the first paragraph, to have been paid to the Minister on that date, for the purpose of computing that payment.

2006, c. 36, s. 147; 2011, c. 34, s. 81; 2019, c. 14, s. 334.

1029.8.36.0.96. For the purposes of subparagraph b of the second paragraph of section 1029.8.36.0.95, the monthly ceiling on the production of ethanol of a qualified corporation, for a particular month of a taxation year, is,

(a)  if the qualified corporation is a member of an associated group in the year, the number of litres attributed for the particular month to the qualified corporation pursuant to the agreement described in the second paragraph or, in the absence of such an agreement, zero or the number of litres, determined with reference to the rules set out in the second paragraph, attributed to the qualified corporation by the Minister, if applicable, for the particular month; or

(b)  if subparagraph a does not apply, the number of litres obtained by multiplying 821,917 by the number of days in the particular month.

The agreement to which subparagraph a of the first paragraph refers is the agreement under which all of the qualified corporations that are members of the associated group in the year attribute to one or more of their number, for the purposes of this section, a number of litres; for that purpose, the total number of litres so attributed for the particular month must not exceed the number of litres determined under subparagraph b of the first paragraph for the particular month.

For the purposes of this section, where the particular month of a taxation year includes 31 March 2023 and does not end on that date, subparagraph b of the first paragraph is to be read as if “that precede 1 April 2023” were inserted at the end.

2006, c. 36, s. 147; 2011, c. 34, s. 82; 2019, c. 14, s. 335.

1029.8.36.0.96.1. No corporation may be deemed to have paid an amount to the Minister under section 1029.8.36.0.95 on account of its tax payable for a taxation year in relation to all or part of its eligible production of ethanol for a particular month of that year where the production results from eligible activities of the corporation, within the meaning of section 737.18.17.1, in relation to a large investment project, within the meaning of that section, in respect of which the corporation either filed, after 27 March 2018, an application for a qualification certificate referred to in the first paragraph of section 8.3 of Schedule E to the Act respecting the sectoral parameters of certain fiscal measures (chapter P-5.1) or obtained a qualification certificate that was issued to it in accordance with subparagraph 4 of the first paragraph of section 8.4 of Schedule E to that Act and that came into force after that date.

1029.8.36.0.101. A corporation that is deemed to have paid an amount to the Minister, under section 1029.8.36.0.95, on account of its tax payable for a particular taxation year under this Part in relation to its eligible production of ethanol for a particular month of that year is deemed, if it encloses the prescribed form containing prescribed information with the fiscal return it is required to file under section 1000 for a subsequent taxation year (in this section referred to as the “year concerned”) in which any of the following events occurs, to have paid to the Minister on its balance-due day for the year concerned, on account of its tax payable for that year under this Part, an amount equal to the amount determined under the second paragraph:

(a)  the corporation pays, pursuant to a legal obligation, an amount that may reasonably be considered to be the repayment of an amount included, because of paragraph a of section 1029.8.36.0.99, in the aggregate determined in respect of the corporation for the particular taxation year under that section;

(b)  a person or partnership pays, pursuant to a legal obligation, an amount that may reasonably be considered to be the repayment of an amount included, because of paragraph b of section 1029.8.36.0.99, in the aggregate determined in respect of the corporation for the particular taxation year under that section; and

(c)  a portion of the corporation’s eligible production of ethanol, for a particular month of the particular taxation year, that was carried out before 18 March 2011, is sold to a person or partnership who is not the holder of a collection officer’s permit issued under the Fuel Tax Act (chapter T-1) or ceases to be reasonably considered to be expected to be sold subsequently to such a holder.

The amount 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 this section or section 1029.8.36.0.95 for a taxation year preceding the year concerned in relation to its eligible production of ethanol for a particular month of the particular taxation year, is exceeded by the total of

(a)  the amount that the corporation would be deemed to have paid to the Minister for the particular taxation year under section 1029.8.36.0.95 if any of the events described in any of subparagraphs a to c of the first paragraph or in subparagraph a or b of the first paragraph of section 1129.45.3.37, that occurred in the year concerned or a preceding taxation year in relation to its eligible production of ethanol for a particular month of the particular taxation year, occurred in the particular taxation year; and

(b)  the aggregate of all amounts each of which is an amount that the corporation is required to pay to the Minister under section 1129.45.3.37 for a taxation year preceding the year concerned in relation to its eligible production of ethanol for a particular month of the particular taxation year.

For the purposes of this section, the corporation is deemed to be selling its eligible production of ethanol in the order in which it carried out the production.

Section 1029.6.0.1.9 applies, with the necessary modifications, to the totality of the amount that the corporation is deemed, under this section, to have paid to the Minister on the corporation’s balance-due day for the year concerned.

“month” means, in the case where a taxation year begins on a day in a calendar month other than the first day of that month, any period that begins on that day in a calendar month within the taxation year, other than the month in which the year ends, and that ends on the day immediately preceding that day in the calendar month that follows that month or, for the month in which the taxation year ends, on the day on which that year ends, and if there is no such immediately preceding day in the following month, on the last day of that month;

“qualified corporation” for a taxation year means a corporation that, in the year, has an establishment in Québec where it carries on a business engaged in the production of eligible cellulosic ethanol, other than a corporation

(a)  that is exempt from tax for the year under Book VIII; or

(b)  that would be exempt from tax for the year under section 985, but for section 192;

“shipment of eligible cellulosic ethanol” of a qualified corporation in respect of a particular month means a shipment consisting of a number of litres of eligible cellulosic ethanol that the qualified corporation produces in Québec, that is sold in Québec to the holder of a collection officer’s permit issued under the Fuel Tax Act (chapter T-1) (in the second paragraph referred to as the “purchaser”) who takes possession of the cellulosic ethanol in the particular month and before 1 April 2023, and that is intended for Québec.

For the purposes of the definition of “shipment of eligible cellulosic ethanol” in the first paragraph, a shipment of cellulosic ethanol is destined for Québec only if

(a)  where the shipment is delivered by the qualified corporation, the shipment is delivered and possession is taken in Québec; or

(b)  where subparagraph a does not apply, the manifest issued to the purchaser on taking possession of the shipment shows the shipment was delivered in Québec.

For the purposes of the definition of “eligible cellulosic ethanol” in the first paragraph, the following rules apply:

2011, c. 34, s. 87; 2019, c. 14, s. 339.

1029.8.36.0.104. If a qualified corporation produces eligible cellulosic ethanol in Québec and stores it in a reservoir with another type of ethanol it produced or with ethanol that it acquired from a person or partnership and that constitutes another source of supply for the reservoir, each shipment of ethanol the qualified corporation draws from that reservoir for a particular month (in this section referred to as a “shipment of mixed ethanol”) is deemed to consist of distinct shipments derived from each of the qualified corporation’s ethanol production units or each of the other sources of supply, as the case may be, that feeds the reservoir and in respect of which the number of litres is equal to the amount obtained by multiplying the number of litres making up the shipment of mixed ethanol by the proportion determined in respect of each production unit or each of the other sources of supply by the formula

(A + B)/(B + C + D).

In the formula in the first paragraph,

(a)  A is the portion of the stock of mixed ethanol in the reservoir that is attributable to the qualified corporation’s ethanol production unit or the other source of supply, as the case may be, at the beginning of the particular month;

(b)  B is the number of litres of ethanol derived from the qualified corporation’s ethanol production unit or the other source of supply, as the case may be, that is added to the reservoir during the particular month;

(c)  C is the number of litres of ethanol that is added to the reservoir during the particular month and that is not derived from the qualified corporation’s ethanol production unit or the other source of supply, as the case may be; and

(d)  D is the number of litres of ethanol that corresponds to the total stock of mixed ethanol in the reservoir at the beginning of the particular month.

For the purposes of subparagraph a of the second paragraph, the portion of the stock of mixed ethanol in the reservoir that is attributable to the qualified corporation’s ethanol production unit or the other source of supply, as the case may be, at the beginning of the particular month is equal to the number of litres of ethanol obtained by multiplying the number of litres of ethanol that corresponds to the total stock of mixed ethanol in the reservoir at the beginning of the particular month by the proportion referred to in the first paragraph that applied for the month that precedes the particular month in respect of the qualified corporation’s ethanol production unit or the other source of supply, as the case may be.

For the purposes of this division, the portion of a shipment of mixed ethanol for a particular month that, under the first paragraph, is deemed to be a distinct shipment derived from a cellulosic ethanol production unit of a qualified corporation is deemed to be a shipment of eligible cellulosic ethanol of the qualified corporation for the particular month only if the qualified corporation’s facilities allow for the precise measurement of the number of litres of ethanol derived from each of the qualified corporation’s ethanol production units and from each of the other sources of supply that feeds the reservoir before the ethanol is added.

For the purposes of this division, if a qualified corporation produces eligible cellulosic ethanol in Québec and stores it in a reservoir with ethanol that it produced before 18 March 2011 or that it acquired before that date (in this paragraph referred to as the “previous stock”), the following rules apply:

(a)  despite the first paragraph, a particular shipment of ethanol drawn from the reservoir is deemed to be a shipment drawn from the previous stock up to the number of litres that corresponds to the previous stock immediately before the particular shipment; and

(b)  the number of litres of ethanol that corresponds to the total stock of mixed ethanol in the reservoir at the beginning of the particular month must be determined without taking the previous stock into account.

Where a qualified corporation has, for a particular month or a part of a particular month, an eligible production of pyrolysis oil in respect of more than one eligible pyrolysis oil and the amount determined in respect of any of those pyrolysis oils under section 1029.8.36.0.106.10.1, for the taxation year that includes that month or part of a month, is not equal to the amount so determined in respect of another of those pyrolysis oils, the following rules apply:

(a)  the qualified corporation shall attribute, for the particular month or part of a particular month, a number of litres in respect of each eligible pyrolysis oil and the number of litres so attributed in respect of a pyrolysis oil is deemed to be the corporation’s monthly ceiling on the production of pyrolysis oil, in respect of that pyrolysis oil, for the particular month or part of a particular month;

(b)  the total number of litres attributed in accordance with subparagraph a must not exceed the qualified corporation’s monthly ceiling on the production of pyrolysis oil, in respect of an eligible pyrolysis oil, that would be determined for the particular month or part of a particular month, under the first paragraph, if no reference were made to this paragraph; and

(c)  if the total number of litres attributed in accordance with subparagraph a exceeds the qualified corporation’s monthly ceiling on the production of pyrolysis oil, in respect of an eligible pyrolysis oil, that would be determined for the particular month or part of a particular month, under the first paragraph, if no reference were made to this paragraph, the Minister shall attribute a number of litres in respect of each eligible pyrolysis oil of the corporation and the number of litres so attributed in respect of a pyrolysis oil is deemed to be the corporation’s monthly ceiling on the production of pyrolysis oil, in respect of that eligible pyrolysis oil, for the particular month or part of a particular month.

For the purposes of this section, where the particular month of a taxation year includes

(a)  1 April 2018 and does not begin on that date, subparagraph b of the first paragraph is to be read as if “by the number of days in the particular month or part of a particular month, as the case may be,” in the portion before subparagraph i were replaced by “by the number of days that follow 31 March 2018 and that are included in the particular month,”; and

(b)  31 March 2033 and does not end on that date, subparagraph b of the first paragraph is to be read as if “by the number of days in the particular month or part of a particular month, as the case may be,” in the portion before subparagraph i were replaced by “by the number of days that precede 1 April 2033 and that are included in the particular month,”

1029.8.36.0.106.15. In this division,

“associated group” in a taxation year means all the corporations that meet the following conditions:

(a)  the corporations are associated with each other in the taxation year; and

(b)  each corporation is a qualified corporation for the taxation year;

“biofuel production unit” of a qualified corporation means a set of properties the qualified corporation uses in producing an eligible biofuel or another type of biofuel in Québec;

“eligible biofuel” means a biofuel that is produced by a corporation in a taxation year and in respect of which a certificate has been issued to the corporation for the year, for the purposes of this division;

“eligible production of biofuel” of a qualified corporation for a particular month means the total number of litres that corresponds to all of the qualified corporation’s shipments of eligible biofuel for the particular month;

“month” means, in the case where a taxation year begins on a day in a calendar month other than the first day of that month, any period that begins on that day in a calendar month within the taxation year, other than the month in which the year ends, and that ends on the day immediately preceding that day in the calendar month that follows that month or, for the month in which the taxation year ends, on the day on which that year ends, and if there is no such immediately preceding day in the following month, on the last day of that month;

“qualified corporation” for a taxation year means a corporation that, in the year, has an establishment in Québec where it carries on a business engaged in the production of biofuel, that holds a certificate issued for the purposes of this division, for that year or a preceding taxation year, in respect of a biofuel included in its eligible production of biofuel for a particular month of the year, and that is not

(a)  a corporation that is exempt from tax for the year under Book VIII;

(b)  a corporation that would be exempt from tax for the year under section 985, but for section 192; or

(c)  a corporation that holds a qualification certificate in respect of a large investment project, within the meaning of the first paragraph of section 737.18.17.14, or a corporation that is a member of a partnership that holds such a qualification certificate, where the year is included in whole or in part in the period that begins on the date of issue of the qualification certificate and ends on the last day of the tax-free period, within the meaning of that first paragraph, in relation to the large investment project;

“shipment of eligible biofuel” of a qualified corporation in respect of a particular month means a shipment consisting of a number of litres of an eligible biofuel that the qualified corporation produces in Québec after 31 March 2023 and before 1 April 2033, that is sold in Québec in that period to the holder of a collection officer’s permit issued under the Fuel Tax Act (chapter T-1) (in subparagraph ii of subparagraph a of the second paragraph referred to as the “purchaser”), who takes possession of the eligible biofuel in the particular month and before 1 April 2033, and that is intended for Québec.

For the purposes of the definition of “shipment of eligible biofuel” in the first paragraph, the following rules apply:

(a)  a shipment of biofuel is intended for Québec only if

i.  where the shipment is delivered by the qualified corporation, the shipment is delivered and possession is taken in Québec, or

ii.  where subparagraph i does not apply, the manifest issued to the purchaser on taking possession of the shipment shows the shipment was delivered in Québec; and

(b)  where, before 1 April 2023, a corporation has produced litres of biofuel in respect of which it could have been deemed to have paid an amount to the Minister under any of Divisions II.6.0.8 to II.6.0.9.1 if possession had been taken before that date, the litres of biofuel are deemed to be produced in Québec on 1 April 2023.

2023, c. 2, s. 44; 2024, c. 11, s. 118.

1029.8.36.0.106.16. Where, after 31 March 2023, a qualified corporation produces an eligible biofuel in Québec and stores it in a reservoir with another eligible biofuel it produced, with another type of biofuel it produced or with a biofuel that it acquired from a person or partnership and that constitutes another source of supply for the reservoir, each shipment of biofuel the qualified corporation draws from that reservoir for a particular month (in this section referred to as a “shipment of mixed biofuel”) is deemed to consist of distinct shipments derived from each of the qualified corporation’s biofuel production units or each of the other sources of supply, as the case may be, that feeds the reservoir and in respect of which the number of litres is equal to that obtained by multiplying the number of litres making up the shipment of mixed biofuel by the proportion determined, in respect of each production unit or each of the other sources of supply, by the formula

(A + B)/(B + C + D).

In the formula in the first paragraph,

(a)  A is the portion of the stock of mixed biofuel in the reservoir that is attributable to the qualified corporation’s biofuel production unit or the other source of supply, as the case may be, at the beginning of the particular month;

(b)  B is the number of litres of biofuel derived from the qualified corporation’s biofuel production unit or the other source of supply, as the case may be, that is added to the reservoir during the particular month;

(c)  C is the number of litres of biofuel that is added to the reservoir during the particular month and that is not derived from the qualified corporation’s biofuel production unit or the other source of supply, as the case may be; and

(d)  D is the number of litres of biofuel that corresponds to the total stock of mixed biofuel in the reservoir at the beginning of the particular month.

For the purposes of subparagraph a of the second paragraph, the portion of the stock of mixed biofuel in the reservoir that is attributable to the qualified corporation’s biofuel production unit or the other source of supply, as the case may be, at the beginning of the particular month is equal to the number of litres of biofuel obtained by multiplying the number of litres of biofuel that corresponds to the total stock of mixed biofuel in the reservoir at the beginning of the particular month by the proportion referred to in the first paragraph that applied for the month that precedes the particular month in respect of the qualified corporation’s biofuel production unit or the other source of supply, as the case may be.

For the purposes of this division, the portion of a shipment of mixed biofuel for a particular month that, under the first paragraph, is deemed to be a distinct shipment derived from a biofuel production unit of a qualified corporation is deemed to be a shipment of eligible biofuel of the qualified corporation for the particular month only if the qualified corporation’s facilities allow for the precise measurement of the number of litres of biofuel derived from each of the qualified corporation’s biofuel production units and from each of the other sources of supply that feeds the reservoir before the biofuel is added.

For the purposes of this division, where, after 31 March 2023, a qualified corporation produces eligible biofuel in Québec and stores it in a reservoir with biofuel that it produced before 1 April 2023 or that it acquired before that date (in this paragraph referred to as the “previous stock”), the following rules apply:

(a)  despite the first paragraph, a particular shipment of biofuel drawn from the reservoir is deemed to be a shipment drawn from the previous stock up to the number of litres that corresponds to the previous stock immediately before the particular shipment; and

(b)  the number of litres of biofuel that corresponds to the total stock of mixed biofuel in the reservoir at the beginning of a particular month must be determined without taking the previous stock into account.

§ 2 . — Credit

2023, c. 2, s. 44.

1029.8.36.0.106.17. A qualified corporation for a taxation year that encloses the documents described in the third paragraph with the fiscal return it is required to file under section 1000 for the year is deemed, subject to the fourth paragraph, to have paid to the Minister on the corporation’s balance-due day for the year, on account of its tax payable for the year under this Part, an amount equal to the amount by which the amount determined under section 1029.8.36.0.106.21 is exceeded by the aggregate of all amounts each of which is an amount determined, for a particular month of the year, in respect of an eligible biofuel, by the formula

A × B.

In the formula in the first paragraph,

(a)  A, expressed as a number of litres, is the lesser of

i.  the qualified corporation’s eligible production of biofuel, in relation to the eligible biofuel, for the particular month, and

ii.  the qualified corporation’s monthly ceiling on the production of biofuel, in respect of the eligible biofuel, for the particular month; and

(b)  B is the amount determined in accordance with section 1029.8.36.0.106.19, in respect of a litre of the eligible biofuel.

The documents to which the first paragraph refers are the following:

(a)  the prescribed form containing prescribed information;

(b)  a copy of any certificate that has been issued to the corporation for the purposes of this division, for the taxation year or a preceding taxation year, in respect of an eligible biofuel that it produces and that is included in its eligible production of biofuel for a particular month of the year;

(c)  a copy of a report specifying, in respect of each month of the taxation year, the qualified corporation’s eligible production of biofuel; and

(d)  if applicable, a copy of the agreement described in section 1029.8.36.0.106.18.

For the purpose of computing the payments that a qualified corporation is required to make under subparagraph a of the first paragraph of section 1027, or any of sections 1159.7, 1175 and 1175.19 if they refer to that subparagraph a, that corporation is deemed to have paid to the Minister, on account of the aggregate of its tax payable for the taxation year under this Part and of its tax payable for the taxation year under Parts IV.1, VI and VI.1, on the date on or before which each payment is required to be made, an amount equal to the lesser of

(a)  the amount by which the amount determined under the first paragraph for the year exceeds the aggregate of all amounts each of which is the portion of that amount that may reasonably be considered to be deemed to have been paid to the Minister under this paragraph in the year but before that date; and

(b)  the amount by which the amount of that payment, determined without reference to this chapter, exceeds the aggregate of all amounts each of which is an amount that is deemed, under this chapter but otherwise than under the first paragraph, to have been paid to the Minister on that date, for the purpose of computing that payment.

2023, c. 2, s. 44.

1029.8.36.0.106.18. For the purposes of subparagraph ii of subparagraph a of the second paragraph of section 1029.8.36.0.106.17 and subject to the third paragraph, a qualified corporation’s monthly ceiling on the production of biofuel, in respect of an eligible biofuel, for a particular month of a taxation year, is

(a)  where the qualified corporation is a member of an associated group in the year, the number of litres attributed for the particular month to the qualified corporation pursuant to the agreement described in the second paragraph or, in the absence of such an agreement, zero or the number of litres, determined with reference to the rules set out in the second paragraph, that the Minister attributes to the qualified corporation, if applicable, for the particular month; or

(b)  where subparagraph a does not apply, the number of litres obtained by multiplying 821,917 by the number of days in the particular month.

The agreement to which subparagraph a of the first paragraph refers is the agreement under which all of the qualified corporations that are members of the associated group in the year attribute to one or more of their number, for the purposes of this section, a number of litres; for that purpose, the total number of litres so attributed for the particular month must not exceed the number of litres determined under subparagraph b of the first paragraph for the particular month.

Where a qualified corporation has, for a particular month, an eligible production of biofuel in respect of more than one eligible biofuel and the amount determined in respect of any of those biofuels under section 1029.8.36.0.106.19, for the taxation year that includes that month, is not equal to the amount so determined in respect of another of those biofuels, the following rules apply:

(a)  the qualified corporation shall attribute, for the particular month, a number of litres in respect of each eligible biofuel and the number of litres so attributed in respect of a biofuel is deemed to be the corporation’s monthly ceiling on the production of biofuel, in respect of the biofuel, for the particular month;

(b)  the total number of litres attributed in accordance with subparagraph a must not exceed the qualified corporation’s monthly ceiling on the production of biofuel, in respect of an eligible biofuel, that would be determined for the particular month, under the first paragraph, if no reference were made to this paragraph; and

(c)  if the total number of litres attributed in accordance with subparagraph a exceeds the qualified corporation’s monthly ceiling on the production of biofuel, in respect of an eligible biofuel, that would be determined for the particular month, under the first paragraph, if no reference were made to this paragraph, the Minister shall attribute a number of litres in respect of each eligible biofuel of the corporation and the number of litres so attributed in respect of a biofuel is deemed to be the corporation’s monthly ceiling on the production of biofuel, in respect of that eligible biofuel, for the particular month.

For the purposes of this section, where the particular month of a taxation year includes

(a)  1 April 2023 and does not begin on that date, subparagraph b of the first paragraph is to be read as if “that follow 31 March 2023” were inserted at the end; and

(b)  31 March 2033 and does not end on that date, subparagraph b of the first paragraph is to be read as if “that precede 1 April 2033” were inserted at the end.

1029.8.36.0.106.19. The amount to which subparagraph b of the second paragraph of section 1029.8.36.0.106.17 refers in respect of a litre of eligible biofuel is the amount determined by the formula

A × B × C/1,000,000.

In the formula in the first paragraph,

(a)  A is the result obtained by applying the formula

D – E;

(b)  B is

i.  where the percentage represented by F, in respect of the eligible biofuel, is less than or equal to 45%, the amount determined by the formula

$30/0.45 × F,

ii.  where the percentage represented by F, in respect of the eligible biofuel, is greater than 45% but less than or equal to 70%, the amount determined by the formula

$30 + [$30/0.25 × (F – 0.45)], or

iii.  where the percentage represented by F, in respect of the eligible biofuel, is greater than 70%, the amount determined by the formula

$60 + [$65/0.30 × (F – 0.70)]; and

(c)  C is the higher heating value of the eligible biofuel that is specified in the certificate issued in respect of that biofuel for the purposes of this division.

For the purposes of subparagraphs a and b of the second paragraph,

(a)  D is

i.  83.1, where the certificate issued in respect of the eligible biofuel for the purposes of this division specifies that the biofuel replaces gasoline, or

ii.  92.9, where the certificate issued in respect of the eligible biofuel for the purposes of this division specifies that the biofuel replaces diesel fuel;

(b)  E is the carbon intensity of the eligible biofuel that is specified in the certificate issued in respect of that biofuel for the purposes of this division; and

(c)  F is the lesser of 100% and the result, expressed as a percentage, obtained by applying the formula

1 – (E/D).

If the result obtained by applying any of the formulas in this section has more than two decimal places, only the first two decimal digits are retained and the second is increased by one unit if the third is greater than 4.

If the aggregate of the amounts attributed, in respect of a taxation year, pursuant to an agreement described in the first paragraph and entered into by the corporations that are members of an associated group in the year exceeds $750,000, the amount determined under subparagraph b of the first paragraph of section 1029.8.36.0.110 in respect of each of those corporations for the taxation year is deemed, for the purposes of this division, to be equal to the proportion of $750,000 that that determined amount is of the aggregate of the amounts attributed for the year under the agreement.

2013, c. 10, s. 116.

1029.8.36.0.113. Despite sections 1029.8.36.0.110 to 1029.8.36.0.112, the following rules apply:

i.  its qualified expenditure limit for the first taxation year ending in the calendar year, determined without reference to this section, and

ii.  its qualified expenditure limit for the particular taxation year ending in the calendar year, determined without reference to this section;

(b)  if a corporation has a taxation year of fewer than 51 weeks or if a partnership has a fiscal period of fewer than 51 weeks, except in cases where paragraph c or d applies, the qualified expenditure limit of the corporation for the year or of the partnership for the fiscal period is equal to that proportion of its qualified expenditure limit for the year or period, determined without reference to this paragraph, that the number of days in the year or period is of 365;

1029.8.36.0.114. Where it may reasonably be considered that one of the main reasons for the separate existence of two or more corporations in a taxation year is to cause a corporation to be deemed to have paid an amount to the Minister under this division for that year or to increase an amount that a corporation is deemed to have paid to the Minister under this division for that year, those corporations are deemed, for the purposes of this division, to be associated with each other in the year.

i.  by its share, for the fiscal period, of the amount of the benefit or advantage that a partnership or a person, other than a person referred to in subparagraph ii, has obtained, is entitled to obtain or may reasonably expect to obtain on or before the day that is six months after the end of the qualified partnership’s fiscal period in which the expenditure was incurred, and

(b)  any amount that the corporation is deemed to have paid to the Minister under this section for a taxation year preceding the repayment year, in respect of an amount of assistance repaid by the corporation or partnership, or, in the case of a repayment made in the fiscal period of repayment, would be so deemed to have paid to the Minister if the agreed proportion, in respect of the corporation for the particular fiscal period, were the same as that for the fiscal period of repayment.

The particular amount to which the first paragraph refers is to be computed as if

(a)  any amount of assistance repaid at or before the end of the repayment year reduced the amount of any government assistance or non-government assistance referred to in section 1029.8.36.0.115; and

(b)  in the case of a repayment made in the fiscal period of repayment, the agreed proportion in respect of the corporation for the particular fiscal period were the same as that for the fiscal period of repayment.

1029.8.36.0.117.1. Where an amount of government assistance or non-government assistance or a corporation’s share of an amount of government assistance or non-government assistance that reduced, in accordance with subparagraph a or b of the first paragraph of section 1029.8.36.0.115, the corporation’s qualified expenditure for a particular taxation year or the corporation’s share of the qualified expenditure of a partnership of which the corporation is a member at the end of a particular fiscal period of the partnership that ends in the particular taxation year, as the case may be, in respect of a qualified tourist accommodation establishment, is repaid before 1 January 2018 pursuant to a legal obligation by the corporation in a taxation year (in this section referred to as the “repayment year”) or by the partnership in a fiscal period (in this section referred to as the “fiscal period of repayment”), and the amount that is the lesser of the amounts determined under subparagraphs a and b of the first paragraph of section 1029.8.36.0.109 in respect of the corporation for the particular year, with reference to subparagraphs a and b of the first paragraph of section 1029.8.36.0.115, does not exceed the balance of the threshold of the corporation’s qualified expenditures for the particular year, the corporation is deemed, if it encloses the prescribed form containing prescribed information with the fiscal return it is required to file under section 1000 for the repayment year and, in the case of a repayment made by the partnership, if it is a member of the partnership at the end of the fiscal period of repayment, to have paid to the Minister on the corporation’s balance-due day for the repayment year on account of its tax payable for the year under this Part, an amount equal to the product obtained by multiplying the percentage described in the second paragraph by the amount by which the lesser of the following amounts exceeds the amount that would be the balance of the threshold of the corporation’s qualified expenditures for the repayment year if section 1029.8.36.0.107.1 were read without taking into account the application of this section in respect of the repayment year:

(a)  the amount by which the lesser of the aggregate of all amounts each of which is the amount of government assistance or non-government assistance relating to the corporation’s qualified expenditure, or the corporation’s share of the amount of government assistance or non-government assistance relating to the partnership’s qualified expenditure, if applicable, and the amount determined under subparagraph b of the first paragraph of section 1029.8.36.0.109 in respect of the corporation for the particular year exceeds the aggregate of all amounts each of which is the amount of a repayment of the government assistance or non-government assistance by the corporation in a taxation year preceding the repayment year, or the corporation’s share of the amount of the repayment of the government assistance or non-government assistance by the partnership in a fiscal period preceding the fiscal period of repayment, if applicable; and

(b)  the aggregate of all amounts each of which is the amount of repayment by the corporation in the repayment year, or the corporation’s share of the amount of repayment by the partnership in the fiscal period of repayment, if applicable.

The percentage to which the first paragraph refers is the percentage that would apply under section 1029.8.36.0.109 in respect of the qualified expenditure if the corporation had been deemed to have paid an amount to the Minister under that section for the particular taxation year.

For the purposes of the first paragraph, a corporation’s share of a particular amount, in relation to a qualified partnership of which it is a member at the end of a fiscal period, is equal to the agreed proportion of the amount, in respect of the corporation for the fiscal period.

2015, c. 21, s. 443.

1029.8.36.0.118. For the purposes of section 1029.8.36.0.117, an amount of assistance is deemed to be repaid by a corporation or partnership at a particular time, pursuant to a legal obligation, if that amount

(a)  reduced, because of section 1029.8.36.0.115, a qualified expenditure or the share of a corporation that is a member of the partnership in such an expenditure, for the purpose of computing the amount that the corporation or the corporation that is a member of the partnership is deemed to have paid to the Minister for a taxation year under section 1029.8.36.0.109;

For the purposes of the first paragraph, where an expenditure incurred in a taxation year is reasonably attributable to the carrying out of a design activity in a taxation year subsequent to the year, the expenditure is deemed to be incurred in that subsequent taxation year.

For the purpose of computing the payments that a corporation referred to in the first paragraph is required to make under subparagraph a of the first paragraph of section 1027, or any of sections 1145, 1159.7, 1175 and 1175.19 where they refer to that subparagraph a, the corporation is deemed to have paid to the Minister, on account of the aggregate of its tax payable for the year under this Part and of its tax payable for the year under Parts IV, IV.1, VI and VI.1, on the date on or before which each payment is required to be made, an amount equal to the lesser of

For the purposes of subparagraphs ii and iii of subparagraph a of the first paragraph, the amount of $60,000 or $40,000 is to be replaced by the amount obtained by multiplying that amount by the proportion that the number of days in the taxation year or fiscal period of the qualified outside consultant during which the qualified designer or qualified patternmaker, as the case may be, reports for work at an establishment of the employer situated in Québec and during which the qualified designer or qualified patternmaker carries out the design activity or the pattern drafting activity provided for in the contract, is of 365.

1029.8.36.52. In this division, “Part III.12 tax credit” of a taxpayer for a particular taxation year means the aggregate of

(a)  all amounts each of which is an amount determined by the formula

A × B / C; and

(b)  in respect of each partnership of which the taxpayer is a member, all amounts each of which is the amount that can reasonably be considered to be the taxpayer’s share of the amount that would, if the partnership were a person and its fiscal period were its taxation year, be the Part III.12 tax credit of the partnership for its taxation year that ends in the particular year.

For the purposes of the formula in the first paragraph,

(a)  A is the tax payable under Part III.12 by an environmental trust for a taxation year of the trust, in this paragraph referred to as the “trust’s year”, that ends in the particular year;

(b)  B is the amount by which the aggregate of all amounts in respect of the trust that are included, otherwise than because of the taxpayer being a member of a partnership, because of section 692.1 in computing the taxpayer’s income for the particular year exceeds the aggregate of all amounts in respect of the trust that are deducted, otherwise than because of the taxpayer being a member of a partnership, because of that section 692.1 in computing such income; and

(c)  C is the trust’s income for the trust’s year, computed in the manner prescribed in the second paragraph of section 1129.52.

For the purpose of computing the payments that a taxpayer referred to in the first paragraph is required to make under section 1025 or 1026, subparagraph a of the first paragraph of section 1027, or any of sections 1145, 1159.7, 1175 and 1175.19 where they refer to that subparagraph a, the taxpayer is deemed to have paid to the Minister, on account of the aggregate of the taxpayer’s tax payable for the year under this Part and of the taxpayer’s tax payable for the year under Parts IV, IV.1, VI and VI.1, on the date on or before which each payment is required to be made, an amount equal to the lesser of

(a)  the amount by which the amount determined under the first paragraph for the year exceeds the aggregate of all amounts each of which is the portion of that amount that may reasonably be considered to be deemed to have been paid to the Minister under this paragraph in the year but before that date; and

(b)  the amount by which the amount of that payment, determined without reference to this chapter, exceeds the aggregate of all amounts each of which is an amount that is deemed, under this chapter but otherwise than under the first paragraph, to have been paid to the Minister on that date, for the purpose of computing that payment.

For the purposes of subparagraph b of the first paragraph, the cost of conversion, at the end of a taxation year, of an eligible vessel of a qualified corporation is equal to the aggregate of

(a)  the amount by which the portion of the cost to the qualified corporation of conversion of the eligible vessel incurred at the end of the year exceeds the aggregate of all amounts each of which is

i.  government assistance or non-government assistance attributable to the cost of conversion that the qualified corporation or a person or partnership with whom or with which the qualified corporation is not dealing at arm’s length has received, is entitled to receive or may reasonably expect to receive on or before the qualified corporation’s filing-due date for that year, or

ii.  an apparent payment, attributable to the cost of conversion, that the qualified corporation or a person with whom it is not dealing at arm’s length has received, is entitled to receive or may reasonably expect to receive on or before the qualified corporation’s filing-due date for that year; and

(b)  any repayment made by the qualified corporation, the person or the partnership in the year or a preceding taxation year, pursuant to a legal obligation, of assistance described in subparagraph a in respect of the eligible vessel.

For the purpose of computing the payments that a corporation referred to in the first paragraph is required to make under subparagraph a of the first paragraph of section 1027, or any of sections 1145, 1159.7, 1175 and 1175.19 where they refer to that subparagraph a, the corporation is deemed to have paid to the Minister, on account of the aggregate of its tax payable for the year under this Part and of its tax payable for the year under Parts IV, IV.1, VI and VI.1, on the date on or before which each payment is required to be made, an amount equal to the lesser of

(a)  the amount by which the amount determined under the first paragraph for the year exceeds the aggregate of all amounts each of which is the portion of that amount that may reasonably be considered to be deemed to have been paid to the Minister under this paragraph in the year but before that date; and

(b)  the amount by which the amount of that payment, determined without reference to this chapter, exceeds the aggregate of all amounts each of which is an amount that is deemed, under this chapter but otherwise than under the first paragraph, to have been paid to the Minister on that date, for the purpose of computing that payment.

DIVISION II.6.5.5 CREDIT RELATING TO SHAREHOLDING WORKERS COOPERATIVES

2006, c. 37, s. 40.

1029.8.36.59.32. In this division,

“qualification certificate” means a qualification certificate issued either under section 11 of the Cooperative Investment Plan Act (chapter R-8.1.1), as it read before being repealed, or under section 5.5 of Schedule C to the Act respecting the sectoral parameters of certain fiscal measures (chapter P-5.1);

“qualified cooperative” has the meaning assigned by the first paragraph of section 2 of the Cooperative Investment Plan Act;

“tax credit relating to Part III.2.3” of a qualified cooperative for a particular taxation year means the negative amount determined by the following formula and expressed as a positive number:

30% (A - B) + C - D.

In the formula in the definition of “tax credit relating to Part III.2.3” of a qualified cooperative for a particular taxation year, in the first paragraph,

(a)  A is the amount by which the aggregate of the amounts paid in respect of the securities that are issued by the qualified cooperative under the Cooperative Investment Plan Act and under the cooperative investment plan enacted by Order in Council 1596-85 (1985, G.O. 2, 5580, in French only) and that are outstanding at the end of the calendar year ending in the particular taxation year, exceeds an amount equal to 165% of the acquisition cost, determined without taking into account the borrowing costs and the other costs related to their acquisition, of the aggregate of the investments under the plan that the qualified cooperative holds at the end of that calendar year;

(b)  B is the amount by which the aggregate of the amounts paid in respect of the securities that are issued by the qualified cooperative under the cooperative investment plan and that are outstanding immediately before the issue to the qualified cooperative of its first qualification certificate, exceeds the acquisition cost, determined without taking into account the borrowing costs and the other costs related to their acquisition, of the aggregate of the investments under the plan that the qualified cooperative held at that time;

(c)  C is the aggregate of all amounts each of which is an amount that the qualified cooperative is deemed to have paid to the Minister under this division on account of its tax payable under this Part for a taxation year preceding the particular taxation year;

(e)  where the result of the subtraction of the amounts that A and B represent is less than zero, the result of that subtraction is deemed to be equal to zero;

(f)  (subparagraph repealed).

For the purposes of this division, a reference to a calendar year ending in a taxation year includes a reference to a calendar year ending coincidentally with that taxation year.

2006, c. 37, s. 40; 2012, c. 1, s. 63; 2013, c. 10, s. 117.

1029.8.36.59.33. A qualified cooperative that is a shareholding workers cooperative, within the meaning of the first paragraph of section 2 of the Cooperative Investment Plan Act (chapter R-8.1.1), and that holds a qualification certificate is deemed, subject to the second and third paragraphs, to have paid to the Minister, for a taxation year, on the qualified cooperative’s balance-due day for that year, on account of its tax payable for that year under this Part, an amount equal to its tax credit relating to Part III.2.3 for the year.

For the purpose of computing the payments that a cooperative referred to in the first paragraph is required to make under subparagraph a of the first paragraph of section 1027, or any of sections 1159.7, 1175 and 1175.19 where they refer to that subparagraph a, the cooperative is deemed to have paid to the Minister, on account of the aggregate of the cooperative’s tax payable for the year under this Part and of the cooperative’s tax payable for the year under Parts IV.1, VI and VI.1, on the date on or before which each payment is required to be made, an amount equal to the lesser of

(a)  the amount by which the amount determined under the first paragraph for the year exceeds the aggregate of all amounts each of which is the portion of the amount that may reasonably be considered to be deemed to have been paid to the Minister under this paragraph in the year but before that date; and

(b)  the amount by which the amount of that payment, determined without reference to this chapter, exceeds the aggregate of all amounts each of which is an amount that is deemed, under this chapter but otherwise than under the first paragraph, to have been paid to the Minister on that date, for the purpose of computing that payment.

No amount may be deemed to have been paid to the Minister under the first paragraph for the taxation year in which ends the calendar year in which the qualified cooperative decides to wind-up in accordance with the Cooperatives Act (chapter C-67.2) or the Canada Cooperatives Act (S.C. 1998, c. 1) or for a subsequent taxation year.

2006, c. 37, s. 40; 2013, c. 10, s. 118.

(a)  the amount that the corporation would be deemed to have paid to the Minister under section 1029.8.36.59.59, for its taxation year in which the particular fiscal period ends, in respect of the share, if the agreed proportion in respect of the corporation for the particular fiscal period were the same as that for the fiscal period of repayment; and

(b)  any amount that the corporation would be deemed to have paid to the Minister under this section for a taxation year preceding the taxation year in which the fiscal period of repayment ends, in respect of an amount of that assistance repaid by the partnership, if the agreed proportion in respect of the corporation for the particular fiscal period were the same as that for the fiscal period of repayment.

The particular amount to which the first paragraph refers is to be computed as if

(a)  any amount of assistance repaid at or before the end of the fiscal period of repayment reduced, for the particular fiscal period, the amount of any government assistance or non-government assistance referred to in subparagraph i of subparagraph b of the first paragraph of section 1029.8.36.59.60; and

(b)  the agreed proportion in respect of the corporation for the particular fiscal period were the same as that for the fiscal period of repayment.

(a)  the amount that the corporation would be deemed to have paid to the Minister under section 1029.8.36.59.59 for its taxation year in which the particular fiscal period ends, in respect of the share, if the agreed proportion in respect of the corporation for the particular fiscal period were the same as that for the fiscal period of repayment; and

(b)  any amount that the corporation would be deemed to have paid to the Minister under this section for a taxation year preceding the taxation year in which the fiscal period of repayment ends, in respect of an amount of that assistance repaid by the corporation, if the agreed proportion in respect of the corporation for the particular fiscal period were the same as that for the fiscal period of repayment.

The particular amount to which the first paragraph refers is to be computed as if

(a)  any amount of assistance repaid at or before the end of the fiscal period of repayment reduced, for the particular fiscal period, the amount of any government assistance or non-government assistance referred to in subparagraph ii of subparagraph b of the first paragraph of section 1029.8.36.59.60; and

(b)  the agreed proportion in respect of the corporation for the particular fiscal period were the same as that for the fiscal period of repayment.

2021, c. 14, s. 146.

1029.8.36.59.65. For the purposes of sections 1029.8.36.59.62 to 1029.8.36.59.64, an amount of assistance is deemed to be repaid by a corporation or a partnership, as the case may be, at a particular time, pursuant to a legal obligation, if that amount

(a)  reduced, because of section 1029.8.36.59.60, a qualified expenditure or the share of a corporation that is a member of the partnership of a qualified expenditure, for the purpose of computing the amount that the corporation or the corporation that is a member of the partnership is deemed to have paid to the Minister for a taxation year under section 1029.8.36.59.59;

(b)  was not received by the corporation or partnership; and

(c)  ceased at the particular time to be an amount that the corporation or partnership could reasonably expect to receive.

For the purposes of this division, a reference to a calendar year ending in a taxation year includes a reference to a calendar year ending coincidentally with that taxation year.

For the purposes of this division and in determining the amount that a qualified corporation is deemed to have paid to the Minister for a taxation year under section 1029.8.36.72.82.2 or 1029.8.36.72.82.3, the salary or wages paid to an employee in respect of a pay period, for which the employee is an eligible employee, that may reasonably be attributed to activities of a business that are described in paragraph a.1 of the definition of “eligible region” in the first paragraph, enacted by subparagraph i of subparagraph b.1 of the seventh paragraph, and that are carried on in the region to which that paragraph a.1 refers, is deemed not to have been so paid to the eligible employee if, in the opinion of Investissement Québec, the activities are not recognized activities in respect of a resource region.

5% × A × B/C.

In the formula in subparagraph b of the first paragraph,

For the purposes of the second paragraph, if the amount represented by B, otherwise determined in respect of a corporation for a taxation year, is equal to or greater than 90% of the amount represented by C, determined in respect of the corporation for the year, the corporation is deemed to have paid salaries or wages in the year only to employees who reported for work, in the year, at an establishment of the corporation situated in a region referred to in subparagraph b of the second paragraph.

The agreement to which subparagraph b of the first paragraph refers is the agreement under which all the corporations that are members of the associated group in the year attribute for the year to one or more of their number, for the purposes of this section, one or more amounts the total of which does not exceed $50,000.

If the aggregate of the amounts attributed, in respect of a taxation year, pursuant to an agreement described in the second paragraph and entered into with the corporations that are members of an associated group in the year exceeds $50,000, the amount determined under subparagraph b of the first paragraph in respect of each of those corporations for the taxation year is deemed, for the purposes of this section, to be equal to the proportion of $50,000 that that amount is of the aggregate of the amounts attributed for the year under the agreement.

For the purposes of this section and sections 1029.8.36.72.82.1.3 and 1029.8.36.72.82.1.4, an associated group in a taxation year means all the corporations that, in the year, are associated with each other and are qualified corporations for the purposes of Title VII.2.4 of Book IV or corporations that carry on a recognized business.

2010, c. 25, s. 141.

1029.8.36.72.82.1.4. Despite sections 1029.8.36.72.82.1.2 and 1029.8.36.72.82.1.3, the following rules apply:

(a)  if a corporation that is a member of an associated group (in this paragraph referred to as the “first corporation”) has more than one taxation year ending in the same calendar year and is associated in two or more of those taxation years with another corporation that is a member of the group that has a taxation year ending in that calendar year, the base amount of the first corporation for each particular taxation year that ends in the calendar year in which it is associated with the other corporation and that ends after the first taxation year ending in that calendar year is, subject to paragraph b, an amount equal to the lesser of

i.  its base amount for the first taxation year ending in the calendar year, determined in accordance with subparagraph b of the first paragraph of section 1029.8.36.72.82.1.2 or section 1029.8.36.72.82.1.3, and

For the purposes of this division,

(a)  if, during a pay period that ended in a calendar year, an employee reports for work at an establishment of a qualified corporation situated in Québec and at an establishment of the qualified corporation situated outside Québec, the employee is, for that period, deemed,

i.  unless subparagraph ii applies, to report for work only at the establishment situated in Québec, or

ii.  to report for work only at the establishment situated outside Québec if, during that period, the employee reports for work mainly at an establishment of the qualified corporation situated outside Québec;

(a.1)  if, during a pay period that ended in a calendar year, an employee reports for work at an establishment of a qualified corporation situated in an eligible region and at an establishment of the qualified corporation situated outside the eligible region, the employee is, for that period, deemed,

i.  unless subparagraph ii applies, to report for work only at the establishment situated in the eligible region, or

ii.  to report for work only at the establishment situated outside the eligible region if, during that period, the employee reports for work mainly at an establishment of the qualified corporation situated outside the eligible region;

1029.8.36.166.40.1. For the purposes of this division, the balance of a qualified corporation’s cumulative eligible expense limit for a particular taxation year is equal,

(a)  if the qualified corporation is not a member of an associated group in the particular year, to the amount by which $75,000,000 exceeds the aggregate of all amounts each of which would be the amount of the portion of the qualified corporation’s eligible expenses, in respect of a qualified property, for any preceding taxation year that ends in a 24-month period preceding the beginning of the particular year, or its share of the portion of a partnership’s eligible expenses, in respect of a qualified property, for a fiscal period of the partnership that ends in such a preceding taxation year, that would be referred to in subparagraph i of subparagraph a of the first paragraph of section 1029.8.36.166.43 or 1029.8.36.166.44 and in respect of which an amount would be deemed to have been paid to the Minister by the corporation for that preceding year under section 1029.8.36.166.43 or 1029.8.36.166.44, as the case may be, but for the third paragraph of that section, if the excluded expense amount relating to the qualified property were equal to zero; or

(b)  if the qualified corporation is a member of an associated group in the particular year, to the amount attributed for the particular year to the qualified corporation pursuant to the agreement described in the second paragraph and filed with the Minister in the prescribed form or, if no amount is attributed to the qualified corporation pursuant to that agreement or in the absence of such an agreement, to zero or to the amount attributed to it by the Minister, if applicable, for the particular year in accordance with this division.

The agreement to which subparagraph b of the first paragraph refers, in respect of a particular taxation year of the qualified corporation, is the agreement under which all the corporations that are members of the associated group in the particular taxation year attribute, for the purposes of this section, to one or more of the corporations that are members of the associated group, for the particular taxation year, one or more amounts the total of which is not greater than the amount by which $75,000,000 exceeds the aggregate of all amounts each of which would be

(a)  the amount of the portion of the eligible expenses of a corporation that is a member of the associated group in the particular year, in respect of a qualified property, for a taxation year that ends in a 24-month period preceding the beginning of the particular year, that would be referred to in subparagraph i of subparagraph a of the first paragraph of section 1029.8.36.166.43 and in respect of which an amount would be deemed to have been paid to the Minister by the corporation under section 1029.8.36.166.43 but for its third paragraph, if the excluded expense amount relating to the qualified property were equal to zero; or

(b)  the amount of the share of a corporation that is a member of the associated group in the year of the portion of the eligible expenses of a partnership, in respect of a qualified property, for a fiscal period of the partnership that ended in a taxation year of the corporation that ends in a 24-month period preceding the beginning of the particular year, that would be referred to in subparagraph i of subparagraph a of the first paragraph of section 1029.8.36.166.44 and in respect of which an amount would be deemed to have been paid to the Minister by the corporation under section 1029.8.36.166.44 but for its third paragraph, if the excluded expense amount relating to the qualified property were equal to zero.

If the aggregate of the amounts attributed, in respect of a taxation year, in an agreement described in the second paragraph and entered into with the corporations that are members of an associated group in the year is greater than the excess amount determined under that paragraph, the amount determined under subparagraph b of the first paragraph in respect of each of those corporations for that taxation year is deemed, for the purposes of this section, to be equal to the proportion of that excess amount that that amount is of the aggregate of the amounts attributed for that year in the agreement.

For the purposes of this section and section 1029.8.36.166.40.2, an associated group in a taxation year means all the corporations that are associated with each other in the year.

For the purposes of subparagraph a of the first paragraph and subparagraph b of the second paragraph, a corporation’s share of the portion of the eligible expenses, in respect of a qualified property, of a partnership for a fiscal period is equal to the agreed proportion of that portion of the expenses in respect of the corporation for the fiscal period.

2010, c. 25, s. 172; 2015, c. 21, s. 460; 2015, c. 24, s. 143.

1029.8.36.166.40.2. If a corporation that is a member of an associated group for a taxation year fails to file with the Minister an agreement for the purposes of this division within 30 days after notice in writing by the Minister has been sent to any of the corporations that are members of that group that such an agreement is required for the purposes of any assessment of tax under this Part, the Minister shall, for the purposes of this division, attribute, for the taxation year, an amount to one or more of those corporations, which amount or the aggregate of which amounts must be equal to the excess amount determined for the year under the second paragraph of section 1029.8.36.166.40.1 and, in any such case, the balance of the cumulative eligible expense limit of each of those corporations for the year is equal to the amount so attributed to it.

2010, c. 25, s. 172.

1029.8.36.166.40.3. For the purposes of this division, the balance of a qualified partnership’s cumulative eligible expense limit for a particular fiscal period is equal to the amount by which $75,000,000 exceeds the aggregate of all amounts each of which would be the amount of its eligible expenses, in respect of qualified property, for a fiscal period that ends in the 24-month period preceding the beginning of the particular fiscal period and in respect of which an amount would be deemed to have been paid to the Minister under section 1029.8.36.166.44 but for its third paragraph, if the excluded expense amount relating to the qualified property were equal to zero.

2010, c. 25, s. 172; 2015, c. 24, s. 144.

1029.8.36.166.40.4. For the purposes of this division, the balance of a joint venture’s cumulative eligible expense limit for a particular fiscal period of the joint venture is equal to the amount by which $75,000,000 exceeds the aggregate of all amounts each of which would be the amount of the eligible expenses incurred by a corporation or a partnership, in respect of qualified property, as a party to the joint venture in a fiscal period of the joint venture that ends in the 24-month period preceding the beginning of the particular fiscal period and in respect of which an amount would be deemed to have been paid to the Minister under section 1029.8.36.166.43 or 1029.8.36.166.44 but for the third paragraph of that section, if the excluded expense amount relating to the qualified property were equal to zero.

For the purposes of this section, a joint venture is deemed to be a partnership whose fiscal period ends on 31 December of a calendar year.

For the purposes of this division, the share of a corporation for a taxation year, or of a partnership for a fiscal period, of the balance of a joint venture’s cumulative eligible expense limit is equal,

(a)  in the case of a corporation,

i.  if its taxation year does not end on 31 December of a calendar year, to the aggregate of all amounts each of which is the proportion of its share, determined in accordance with the fourth paragraph, of the balance of the joint venture’s cumulative eligible expense limit for a fiscal period of the joint venture, a part of which is included in the taxation year, that the eligible expenses incurred by the corporation as a party to the joint venture in that part of the fiscal period of the joint venture that is included in the taxation year of the corporation is of the aggregate of the eligible expenses incurred by the corporation as a party to the joint venture in that fiscal period of the joint venture, or

ii.  if its taxation year ends on 31 December of a calendar year, to its share, determined in accordance with the fourth paragraph, of the balance of the joint venture’s cumulative eligible expense limit for the fiscal period of the joint venture whose end coincides with the end of the taxation year of the corporation; and

(b)  in the case of a partnership,

i.  if its fiscal period does not end on 31 December of a calendar year, to the aggregate of all amounts each of which is the proportion of its share, determined in accordance with the fourth paragraph, of the balance of the joint venture’s cumulative eligible expense limit for the fiscal period of the joint venture, a part of which is included in the fiscal period of the partnership, that the eligible expenses incurred by the partnership as a party to the joint venture in that part of the fiscal period of the joint venture that is included in the fiscal period of the partnership is of the aggregate of the eligible expenses incurred by the partnership as a party to the joint venture in that fiscal period of the joint venture, or

ii.  if its taxation year ends on 31 December of a calendar year, to its share, determined in accordance with the fourth paragraph, of the balance of the joint venture’s cumulative eligible expense limit for the fiscal period of the joint venture whose end coincides with the end of the fiscal period of the partnership.

For the purposes of the third paragraph, a corporation’s or a partnership’s share of the balance of a joint venture’s cumulative eligible expense limit for a fiscal period of the joint venture is equal to the proportion of that amount that the eligible expenses incurred by the corporation or the partnership in that fiscal period as a party to the joint venture is of the aggregate of the eligible expenses incurred in the fiscal period of the joint venture.

1029.8.36.166.41. (Repealed).

2009, c. 15, s. 303; 2015, c. 36, s. 122; 2022, c. 23, s. 107.

1029.8.36.166.42. The amount to which the definition of “maximum tax credit amount” in the first paragraph of section 1029.8.36.166.40 refers, in relation to a corporation for a taxation year, is equal to the product obtained by multiplying, by the proportion determined by the formula in the third paragraph, the amount by which the total amount that the corporation would be deemed to have paid to the Minister for the taxation year under sections 1029.8.36.166.43 and 1029.8.36.166.44 if no reference were made to the third paragraph of those sections and if the corporation considered, in its eligible expenses or its share of the eligible expenses of a partnership, only the portion of such expenses that are referred to in subparagraph i of subparagraph a of the first paragraph of section 1029.8.36.166.43 or 1029.8.36.166.44, exceeds the amount by which the amount by which the corporation’s total taxes for the year exceeds the amount the corporation is deemed to have paid to the Minister for the year under section 1029.8.36.166.46, exceeds the aggregate of the amounts determined in its respect for the year under subparagraph b of the first paragraph of section 1029.8.36.166.43 or 1029.8.36.166.44.

The amount to which the definition of “limit relating to an unused portion” in the first paragraph of section 1029.8.36.166.40 refers, in relation to a corporation for a taxation year, is equal to the product obtained by multiplying, by the proportion determined by the formula in the third paragraph, the amount by which the corporation’s total taxes for the year are exceeded by the aggregate of all amounts each of which is an excess amount referred to in subparagraph a of the first paragraph of section 1029.8.36.166.46 that would be determined in respect of an original year, within the meaning of that subparagraph, in relation to the taxation year, if the definition of “unused portion of the tax credit” in the first paragraph of section 1029.8.36.166.40 were read as follows:

““unused portion of the tax credit” of a corporation for a taxation year, if the paid-up capital that is attributed to the corporation for the year, determined in accordance with section 1029.8.36.59.49.1, is less than $500,000,000, means the amount by which the maximum tax credit amount of the corporation for the year is exceeded by the total amount that the corporation would be deemed to have paid to the Minister for that year under sections 1029.8.36.166.43 and 1029.8.36.166.44 if no reference were made to the third paragraph of those sections and if the corporation considered, in its eligible expenses or its share of the eligible expenses of a partnership, only the portion of such expenses that does not exceed, as the case may be,

(a)  the balance of the corporation’s cumulative eligible expense limit for the year;

(b)  the corporation’s share of the balance of a qualified partnership’s cumulative eligible expense limit for a particular fiscal period of the partnership that ends in the taxation year of the corporation;

(c)  the portion of the eligible expenses of the corporation incurred in the year as a party to a joint venture that exceeds the corporation’s share for the taxation year of the balance of the joint venture’s cumulative eligible expense limit; or

(d)  the portion of the eligible expenses of the partnership incurred, in a particular fiscal period of the partnership that ends in the taxation year, as a party to a joint venture, that exceeds the partnership’s share for the particular fiscal period of the balance of the joint venture’s cumulative eligible expense limit.”

The formula to which the first and second paragraphs refer is the following:

1 - [(A - $250,000,000)/$250,000,000].

In the formula in the third paragraph, A is the greater of

(a)  $250,000,000; and

(b)  the lesser of $500,000,000 and the paid-up capital attributed to the corporation for the year, determined in accordance with section 1029.8.36.59.49.1.

2009, c. 15, s. 303; 2010, c. 25, s. 173; 2015, c. 21, s. 461; 2022, c. 23, s. 108.

1029.8.36.166.42.1. If it may reasonably be considered that one of the main reasons for the separate existence of two or more corporations in a taxation year is to cause a qualified corporation to be deemed to have paid an amount to the Minister under this division for that year or to increase an amount that a qualified corporation is deemed to have paid to the Minister under this division for that year, those corporations are deemed, for the purposes of this division, to be associated with each other in the year.

1029.8.36.166.43. A qualified corporation for a taxation year that encloses the documents referred to in the fifth paragraph with the fiscal return it is required to file for the year under section 1000 is deemed, subject to the fourth paragraph, to have paid to the Minister on the qualified corporation’s balance-due day for the year, on account of its tax payable for the year under this Part, an amount equal to the aggregate of all amounts each of which is, in relation to a qualified property,

However, the corporation may be deemed to have paid an amount to the Minister, for a particular taxation year ending before that time, in respect of the portion of an unused portion of the tax credit for a taxation year ending after that time that may reasonably be considered to be attributable to the carrying on of a business, if the corporation carried on the business throughout the taxation year and in the particular year for profit or with a reasonable expectation of profit.

The amount that the corporation may be deemed to have paid to the Minister for the particular year under section 1029.8.36.166.47 in respect of the portion referred to in the second paragraph must be determined as if the reference to the total taxes in that section were a reference to the portion of the total taxes of the corporation for the particular year that may reasonably be attributed to the carrying on of that business and — if the corporation sold, leased, rented or developed properties or rendered services in the course of carrying on that business before that time — of any other business all or substantially all of the income of which is derived from the sale, leasing, rental or development, as the case may be, of similar properties, or the rendering of similar services.

1029.8.36.166.52. For the purpose of computing the amount that is deemed to have been paid to the Minister by a corporation, for a taxation year, under section 1029.8.36.166.43 or 1029.8.36.166.44, the following rules apply:

(a)  the amount of the eligible expenses referred to in the first paragraph of section 1029.8.36.166.43 is to be reduced, if applicable, by the amount of any government assistance or non-government assistance attributable to the expenses that the corporation has received, is entitled to receive or may reasonably expect to receive on or before the corporation’s filing-due date for the taxation year;

(b)  the corporation’s share of the eligible expenses of a partnership, referred to in the first paragraph of section 1029.8.36.166.44, for a fiscal period of the partnership that ends in the corporation’s taxation year, is to be reduced, if applicable,

i.  by the corporation’s share of the amount of any government assistance or non-government assistance attributable to the expenses that the partnership has received, is entitled to receive or may reasonably expect to receive on or before the day that is six months after the end of the fiscal period, and

ii.  by the amount of any government assistance or non-government assistance attributable to the expenses that the corporation has received, is entitled to receive or may reasonably expect to receive on or before the day that is six months after the end of the fiscal period.

For the purposes of subparagraph i of subparagraph b of the first paragraph, the corporation’s share, for the partnership’s fiscal period, of the amount of any government assistance or non-government assistance that the partnership has received, is entitled to receive or may reasonably expect to receive, is equal to the agreed proportion of the amount in respect of the corporation for the fiscal period.

2009, c. 15, s. 303.

1029.8.36.166.53. For the purpose of computing the amount that a corporation is deemed to have paid to the Minister under section 1029.8.36.166.46 for a particular taxation year in respect of the unused portion of the tax credit of the corporation for a particular preceding taxation year, in relation to eligible expenses of the corporation or of a partnership of which it is a member at the end of the fiscal period of the partnership ending in the particular preceding year, the unused portion of the tax credit of the corporation, otherwise determined, is to be reduced by the amount determined under the second paragraph if

(a)  in the particular year or a preceding taxation year, an amount relating to the eligible expenses of the corporation, other than an amount reducing those expenses in accordance with section 1029.8.36.166.52 or 1029.8.36.166.60, is, directly or indirectly, refunded or otherwise paid to the corporation or allocated to a payment to be made by the corporation; or

(b)  in a fiscal period of the partnership ending in the particular year or in a preceding taxation year and at the end of which the corporation is a member of the partnership, an amount relating to the eligible expenses of the partnership, other than an amount reducing those expenses in accordance with section 1029.8.36.166.52 or 1029.8.36.166.60, is, directly or indirectly, refunded or otherwise paid to the partnership or corporation or allocated to a payment to be made by the partnership or corporation.

The amount to which the first paragraph refers is equal to the amount by which the unused portion of the tax credit of the corporation for the particular preceding year, otherwise determined, exceeds the amount that would be the amount of the unused portion of the tax credit of the corporation if

(a)  any amount referred to in subparagraph a or b of the first paragraph that is, directly or indirectly, refunded or otherwise paid to the corporation or allocated to a payment to be made by the corporation were directly or indirectly, refunded or otherwise paid to the corporation or allocated to a payment to be made by the corporation in the particular preceding year; and

(b)  any amount referred to in subparagraph b of the first paragraph that is, directly or indirectly, refunded or otherwise paid to the partnership or allocated to a payment to be made by the partnership were directly or indirectly, refunded or otherwise paid to the partnership or allocated to a payment to be made by the partnership in the fiscal period of the partnership ending in the particular preceding year.

If, in respect of the eligible expenses referred to in the first paragraph, a person other than the corporation, or a partnership other than the partnership of which the corporation is a member, has obtained, at a particular time, a benefit or advantage that would have reduced those expenses in accordance with section 1029.8.36.166.60 if the person or partnership had obtained it, had been entitled to obtain it or could reasonably have expected to obtain it on or before the corporation’s filing-due date for the particular preceding taxation year, or on or before the day that is six months after the end of the fiscal period of the partnership of which the corporation is a member that ended in the particular preceding taxation year, the benefit or advantage is, for the purposes of the first and second paragraphs,

(a)  if those expenses were incurred by the corporation, deemed to be an amount that is paid to the corporation at that time; or

(b)  if those expenses were incurred by the partnership of which the corporation is a member, deemed to be

i.  an amount that is paid to that partnership at that time, when that benefit or advantage has been obtained by another partnership or by a person other than the person referred to in subparagraph ii, or

ii.  an amount that is paid to the corporation at that time, when that benefit or advantage has been obtained by a person with whom the corporation does not deal at arm’s length.

(a)  by the first purchaser of the property, where the first purchaser owns it at the particular time; or

(b)  by a subsequent purchaser of the property that acquired it in any of the circumstances in which section 130R149 of the Regulation respecting the Taxation Act (chapter I-3, r. 1) applies, where the subsequent purchaser owns it at the particular time.

(a)  the 730th day following the particular day; and

(b)  the last day of the particular taxation year or of the partnership’s fiscal period that ends in that year, as the case may be.

This section does not apply to a corporation for a taxation year, in relation to eligible expenses in respect of a qualified property of the corporation for a particular preceding taxation year or of a partnership of which the corporation is a member for a fiscal period that ends in the particular preceding taxation year, if section 1029.8.36.166.48 applied, in relation to the eligible expenses, for the particular preceding taxation year.

(a)  the aggregate of all amounts each of which is an amount that the corporation is deemed to have paid to the Minister, in respect of the expenses, under section 1029.8.36.166.43 for the particular year, or under section 1029.8.36.166.46 or 1029.8.36.166.47 for another taxation year that precedes the repayment year; and

2009, c. 15, s. 303.

1029.8.36.166.56. If a partnership pays, in a fiscal period (in this section referred to as the “fiscal period of repayment”), pursuant to a legal obligation, an amount that may reasonably be considered to be a repayment of government assistance or non-government assistance that reduced, because of subparagraph i of subparagraph b of the first paragraph of section 1029.8.36.166.52, a corporation’s share of the eligible expenses of the partnership in respect of a qualified property for a particular fiscal period, for the purpose of computing the amount that the corporation is deemed to have paid to the Minister under section 1029.8.36.166.44, in respect of the share, for its taxation year in which the particular fiscal period ended, the corporation is deemed to have paid to the Minister on the corporation’s balance-due day for its taxation year in which the fiscal period of repayment ends, on account of its tax payable for that year under this Part, if the corporation is a member of the partnership at the end of the fiscal period of repayment and if it encloses the prescribed form containing prescribed information with the fiscal return it is required to file for the year under section 1000, an amount equal to the amount by which the aggregate of all amounts each of which is a particular amount that the corporation would be deemed, if the assumptions set out in the second paragraph were taken into account, to have paid to the Minister, in respect of the share, under section 1029.8.36.166.44 for its taxation year in which the particular fiscal period ends, or under section 1029.8.36.166.46 or 1029.8.36.166.47 for another taxation year that precedes the taxation year in which the fiscal period of repayment ends, exceeds the aggregate of

1029.8.36.166.60.20. For the purposes of this division, the balance of a qualified corporation’s cumulative limit for a particular taxation year is equal,

(a)  if the qualified corporation is not associated with another corporation in the particular year, to the amount by which $312,500 exceeds the amount by which the aggregate of all amounts each of which is the qualified corporation’s eligible expenses, in relation to an eligible information technology integration contract, for a taxation year preceding the particular year, or its share of a qualified partnership’s eligible expenses, in relation to an eligible information technology integration contract, for a fiscal period of the partnership that ends in a taxation year preceding the particular year, in respect of which an amount is deemed to have been paid to the Minister by the corporation for the preceding year under section 1029.8.36.166.60.27 or 1029.8.36.166.60.28, as the case may be, exceeds the amount determined in accordance with the fourth paragraph; or

For the purposes of subparagraph b of the first paragraph, where a member of the associated group, other than the corporation, has no taxation year ending before the beginning of the particular year, its paid-up capital is determined, in accordance with the second paragraph, on the basis of its financial statements prepared at the beginning of its first fiscal period in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles or, where such financial statements have not been prepared, or have not been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, on the basis of such financial statements that would be prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles.

A qualified corporation for a taxation year that is a member of a qualified partnership at the end of a fiscal period of the qualified partnership that ends in the year and that encloses the documents described in the sixth paragraph with the fiscal return it is required to file for the year under section 1000, is deemed, subject to the fourth paragraph, to have paid to the Minister on the qualified corporation’s balance-due day for the year, on account of its tax payable for the year under this Part, an amount equal to the aggregate of

(d)  the aggregate of all amounts each of which is the share of a corporation that is a member of the associated group in the particular year of the portion of a partnership’s eligible expenses in respect of a qualified property, for a fiscal period of the partnership that ends in a specified year of the corporation, that would be referred to in subparagraph i of subparagraph a of the first paragraph of section 1029.8.36.166.44 and in respect of which an amount would be deemed to have been paid to the Minister by that corporation for the specified year under that section if no reference were made to its third paragraph and the excluded expense amount relating to the qualified property were equal to zero.

Where the aggregate of the amounts attributed, in respect of a taxation year, pursuant to an agreement described in the second paragraph and entered into with the corporations that are members of an associated group in the year is greater than the excess amount determined under that paragraph, the amount determined under subparagraph i of subparagraph b of the first paragraph in respect of each of those corporations for the taxation year is deemed, for the purposes of this section, to be equal to the amount obtained by multiplying that excess amount by the proportion that the amount that was attributed to the corporation in the agreement, in respect of the year, is of the aggregate of the amounts that were so attributed.

1029.8.36.166.60.39. Where corporations are part, in a taxation year, of an associated group and where a corporation that is a member of that group fails to file with the Minister the agreement to which subparagraph i of subparagraph b of the first paragraph of section 1029.8.36.166.60.38 refers within 30 days after notice in writing by the Minister has been sent to such a corporation that such an agreement is required for the purposes of any assessment of tax under this Part or for the determination of another amount, the Minister shall, for the purposes of this division, attribute an amount to one or more of the corporations that are members of that group for the taxation year, which amount or the aggregate of which amounts, as the case may be, must be equal to the excess amount determined for the year under the second paragraph of section 1029.8.36.166.60.38, and, in such a case, the balance of the cumulative specified expense limit of each of those corporations, for the year, is equal to the amount so attributed to it.

2021, c. 14, s. 151.

1029.8.36.166.60.40. For the purposes of this division, the balance of a qualified partnership’s cumulative specified expense limit for a particular fiscal period is equal to the amount by which $100,000,000 exceeds the total of

(a)  the aggregate of all amounts each of which is its specified expenses, in respect of a specified property, for a fiscal period (in this section referred to as the “preceding fiscal period concerned”) that ends in the 48-month period preceding the beginning of the particular fiscal period, in respect of which an amount would be deemed to have been paid to the Minister under section 1029.8.36.166.60.49 if no reference were made to its third paragraph and the excluded expense amount relating to the specified property were equal to zero; and

(b)  the aggregate of all amounts each of which is the portion of its eligible expenses, in respect of a qualified property, for the particular fiscal period or a preceding fiscal period concerned, that would be referred to in subparagraph i of subparagraph a of the first paragraph of section 1029.8.36.166.44 and in respect of which an amount would be deemed to have been paid to the Minister under section 1029.8.36.166.44 if no reference were made to its third paragraph and the excluded expense amount relating to the qualified property were equal to zero.

2021, c. 14, s. 151.

1029.8.36.166.60.41. For the purposes of this division, the balance of a joint venture’s cumulative specified expense limit for a particular fiscal period of the joint venture is equal to the amount by which $100,000,000 exceeds the total of

(a)  the aggregate of all amounts each of which is the specified expenses incurred by a corporation or a partnership in respect of a specified property as a party to the joint venture, in a fiscal period of the joint venture (in this paragraph referred to as the “preceding fiscal period concerned”) that ends in the 48-month period preceding the beginning of the particular fiscal period, in respect of which an amount would be deemed to have been paid to the Minister under section 1029.8.36.166.60.48 or 1029.8.36.166.60.49, as the case may be, if no reference were made to its third paragraph and the excluded expense amount relating to the specified property were equal to zero; and

(b)  the aggregate of all amounts each of which is the portion of the eligible expenses incurred by a corporation or a partnership in respect of a qualified property as a party to the joint venture, in the particular fiscal period or a preceding fiscal period concerned of the joint venture, that would be referred to in subparagraph i of subparagraph a of the first paragraph of section 1029.8.36.166.43 or 1029.8.36.166.44, as the case may be, and in respect of which an amount would be deemed to have been paid to the Minister under section 1029.8.36.166.43 or 1029.8.36.166.44 if no reference were made to its third paragraph and the excluded expense amount relating to the qualified property were equal to zero.

For the purposes of this section, a joint venture is deemed to be a partnership whose fiscal period ends on 31 December of a calendar year.

For the purposes of this division, the share of a corporation for a taxation year, or of a partnership for a fiscal period, of the balance of a joint venture’s cumulative specified expense limit is equal,

(a)  in the case of a corporation,

i.  where its taxation year does not end on 31 December of a calendar year, to the aggregate of all amounts each of which is the proportion of its share, determined in accordance with the fourth paragraph, of the balance of the joint venture’s cumulative specified expense limit for a fiscal period of the joint venture, a part of which is included in the taxation year, that the specified expenses incurred by the corporation as a party to the joint venture in that part of the fiscal period is of the aggregate of the specified expenses incurred by the corporation as a party to the joint venture in that fiscal period, or

ii.  where its taxation year ends on 31 December of a calendar year, to its share, determined in accordance with the fourth paragraph, of the balance of the joint venture’s cumulative specified expense limit for the joint venture’s fiscal period whose end coincides with the end of the corporation’s taxation year; and

(b)  in the case of a partnership,

i.  where its fiscal period does not end on 31 December of a calendar year, to the aggregate of all amounts each of which is the proportion of its share, determined in accordance with the fourth paragraph, of the balance of the joint venture’s cumulative specified expense limit for the joint venture’s fiscal period, a part of which is included in the partnership’s fiscal period, that the specified expenses incurred by the partnership as a party to the joint venture in that part of the joint venture’s fiscal period is of the aggregate of the specified expenses incurred by the partnership as a party to the joint venture in that fiscal period of the joint venture, or

ii.  where its fiscal period ends on 31 December of a calendar year, to its share, determined in accordance with the fourth paragraph, of the balance of the joint venture’s cumulative specified expense limit for the joint venture’s fiscal period whose end coincides with the end of the partnership’s fiscal period.

The share of a corporation or a partnership of the balance of a joint venture’s cumulative specified expense limit for a fiscal period of the joint venture is equal to the proportion of that amount that the specified expenses incurred by the corporation or partnership, as the case may be, in that fiscal period as a party to the joint venture is of the aggregate of the specified expenses incurred in the joint venture’s fiscal period.

2021, c. 14, s. 151; 2023, c. 2, s. 53.

1029.8.36.166.60.42. For the purposes of this division, the assets that apply to a corporation for a taxation year are those that are shown in its financial statements submitted to the shareholders or, where such financial statements have not been prepared, or have not been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, that would be shown if such financial statements had been so prepared, for its preceding taxation year or, where the corporation is in its first fiscal period, at the beginning of that fiscal period.

However, where the corporation is a cooperative, the first paragraph is to be read as if “submitted to the shareholders” were replaced by “submitted to the members”.

In computing the assets of a corporation, the amount of the surplus reassessment of its property and the amount of its incorporeal assets must be subtracted, to the extent that the amount shown exceeds the expenditure made in their respect.

Where all or part of an expenditure made in respect of incorporeal assets consists of shares of the corporation’s or cooperative’s capital stock, all or the part of the expenditure, as the case may be, is deemed to be nil.

Where, in a taxation year, a corporation is a member of an associated group, the assets that apply to the corporation for the year are equal to the amount by which the aggregate of the assets of the corporation and of those of each other corporation that is a member of the group, determined in accordance with this section, exceeds the aggregate of the amount of investments the corporations own in each other and the balance of accounts between the corporations.

2021, c. 14, s. 151.

1029.8.36.166.60.43. Where, in relation to a taxation year, a qualified corporation or, where it is a member of an associated group in the year, another corporation that is a member of that group reduces its assets by any transaction and that reduction increases the amount that the qualified corporation would, but for this section, be deemed to have paid to the Minister under this division for that year, the assets are deemed not to have been so reduced unless the Minister decides otherwise.

2021, c. 14, s. 151.

1029.8.36.166.60.44. For the purposes of this division, the gross revenue that applies to a corporation for a taxation year is its gross revenue for the preceding taxation year.

Where a corporation is a member of an associated group in a taxation year, the gross revenue that applies to it for the year is the amount that would be the associated group’s gross revenue for its preceding taxation year if it were computed on the basis of the consolidated income statement of the members of the associated group for the preceding year and each member of the group had an establishment in Québec.

For the purpose of preparing the consolidated income statement of the members of an associated group for a particular taxation year of a corporation, the income statements taken into account are that of the corporation for the particular year and those of the other corporations that are members of the group for their taxation year that ends in the particular year.

2021, c. 14, s. 151; 2023, c. 2, s. 54.

1029.8.36.166.60.45. The amount to which the definition of “maximum tax credit amount” in the first paragraph of section 1029.8.36.166.60.36 refers, in relation to a corporation for a taxation year, is equal to the product obtained by multiplying, by the proportion determined by the formula in the third paragraph, the amount by which the total amount that the corporation would be deemed to have paid to the Minister for the taxation year under sections 1029.8.36.166.60.48 and 1029.8.36.166.60.49 if no reference were made to their third paragraph exceeds the amount by which its total taxes for the year exceed the amount it is deemed to have paid to the Minister for the year under section 1029.8.36.166.60.51.

The amount to which the definition of “limit relating to an unused portion” in the first paragraph of section 1029.8.36.166.60.36 refers, in relation to a corporation for a taxation year, is equal to the product obtained by multiplying, by the proportion determined by the formula in the third paragraph, the amount by which the aggregate of all amounts each of which is an excess amount described in subparagraph a of the first paragraph of section 1029.8.36.166.60.51 exceeds the corporation’s total taxes for the year.

The formula to which the first and second paragraphs refer is

1 – [(A – $50,000,000)/$50,000,000].

In the formula in the third paragraph, A is the greater of

(a)  $50,000,000; and

(b)  the greater of the assets and the gross revenue that applies to the corporation for the taxation year, without exceeding $100,000,000.

2021, c. 14, s. 151.

1029.8.36.166.60.46. Where it may reasonably be considered that one of the main reasons for the separate existence of two or more corporations in a taxation year is to cause a qualified corporation to be deemed to have paid an amount to the Minister under this division for that year or to increase an amount that such a corporation is deemed to have paid to the Minister under this division for that year, those corporations are deemed, for the purposes of this division, to be associated with each other in the year.

2021, c. 14, s. 151.

1029.8.36.166.60.47. For the purposes of this division, a corporation’s share of a particular amount, in relation to a partnership of which the corporation is a member at the end of a fiscal period, is equal to the agreed proportion of the amount in respect of the corporation for the fiscal period.

2021, c. 14, s. 151.

2021, c. 14, s. 151.

1029.8.36.166.60.48. A qualified corporation for a taxation year that encloses the documents described in the fifth paragraph with the fiscal return it is required to file for the year under section 1000 is deemed, subject to the fourth paragraph, to have paid to the Minister on the qualified corporation’s balance-due day for the year, on account of its tax payable for the year under this Part, an amount equal to the aggregate of all amounts each of which is the product obtained by multiplying a portion of its specified expenses for the year in respect of a specified property, such portion being referred to in section 1029.8.36.166.60.50, by the rate determined for the year, under that section, in relation to that portion of expenses, to the extent that that portion is paid and that the aggregate of those portions of expenses is established subject to the second paragraph and does not include the portion, determined by the qualified corporation, of its specified expenses incurred in the year as a party to a joint venture that exceeds its share for the year of the balance of the joint venture’s cumulative specified expense limit.

The total of the specified expenses referred to in the first paragraph in respect of a corporation for a taxation year may not exceed the amount that is the amount by which the balance of its cumulative specified expense limit for the year exceeds the aggregate of all amounts each of which is its share of the specified expenses that would be referred to in the first paragraph of section 1029.8.36.166.60.49 for the year and in respect of which the corporation would be deemed to have paid an amount to the Minister for the year under section 1029.8.36.166.60.49 if no reference were made to its third paragraph and if the definition of “specified expenses” in the first paragraph of section 1029.8.36.166.60.36 were read without reference to “the amount by which the excluded expense amount relating to the partnership’s specified property for the particular fiscal period is exceeded by” in the portion of its paragraph b before subparagraph i.

The total amount that the corporation is deemed to have paid to the Minister for the year under the first paragraph and, if applicable, under the first paragraph of section 1029.8.36.166.60.49 may not exceed the corporation’s maximum tax credit amount for the year.

For the purpose of computing the payments that a corporation is required to make under subparagraph a of the first paragraph of section 1027, or any of sections 1159.7, 1175 and 1175.19 if they refer to that subparagraph a, the corporation is deemed to have paid to the Minister, on account of the aggregate of its tax payable for the year under this Part and of its tax payable for the year under Parts IV.1, VI and VI.1, on the date on or before which each payment is required to be made, an amount equal to the lesser of

(a)  the amount by which the amount determined under the first paragraph for the year exceeds the aggregate of all amounts each of which is the portion of that amount that may reasonably be considered to be deemed to have been paid to the Minister under this paragraph in the year but before that date; and

(b)  the amount by which the amount of that payment, determined without reference to this chapter, exceeds the aggregate of all amounts each of which is an amount that is deemed, under this chapter but otherwise than under the first paragraph, to have been paid to the Minister on that date, for the purpose of computing that payment.

The documents to which the first paragraph refers are the following:

(a)  the prescribed form containing prescribed information; and

(b)  a copy of the agreement described in section 1029.8.36.166.60.38, if applicable.

2021, c. 14, s. 151; 2021, c. 36, s. 123.

1029.8.36.166.60.49. A qualified corporation for a taxation year that is a member of a qualified partnership at the end of a particular fiscal period of the partnership that ends in the year and that encloses the documents described in the sixth paragraph with the fiscal return it is required to file for the year under section 1000 is deemed, subject to the fourth paragraph, to have paid to the Minister on the qualified corporation’s balance-due day for the year, on account of its tax payable for the year under this Part, an amount equal to the aggregate of all amounts each of which is the product obtained by multiplying its share of a portion of the partnership’s specified expenses for the particular fiscal period in respect of a specified property, such portion being referred to in section 1029.8.36.166.60.50, by the rate determined for the year, under that section, in relation to that portion of expenses, to the extent that that portion is paid and that its share of the aggregate of those portions of expenses is established subject to the second paragraph and includes neither its share of the portion, determined by the qualified corporation, of the qualified partnership’s specified expenses for the particular fiscal period that exceeds the balance of the partnership’s cumulative specified expense limit for the particular fiscal period, nor its share of the portion, determined by the qualified corporation, of such expenses incurred by the partnership in the particular fiscal period as a party to a joint venture that exceeds the partnership’s share for the particular fiscal period of the balance of the joint venture’s cumulative specified expense limit.

The total of all amounts each of which is a corporation’s share of the specified expenses that are referred to in the first paragraph for a taxation year may not exceed the amount that is the amount by which the balance of its cumulative specified expense limit for the year exceeds the total of the specified expenses that would be referred to in the first paragraph of section 1029.8.36.166.60.48 for the year and in respect of which the corporation would be deemed to have paid an amount to the Minister for the year under section 1029.8.36.166.60.48 if no reference were made to its third paragraph and if the definition of “specified expenses” in the first paragraph of section 1029.8.36.166.60.36 were read without reference to “the amount by which the excluded expense amount relating to the corporation’s specified property for the particular year is exceeded by” in the portion of its paragraph a before subparagraph i.

The total amount that the corporation is deemed to have paid to the Minister for the year under the first paragraph and, if applicable, under the first paragraph of section 1029.8.36.166.60.48 may not exceed the corporation’s maximum tax credit amount for the year.

For the purpose of computing the payments that a corporation is required to make under subparagraph a of the first paragraph of section 1027, or any of sections 1159.7, 1175 and 1175.19 if they refer to that subparagraph a, the corporation is deemed to have paid to the Minister, on account of the aggregate of its tax payable for the year under this Part and of its tax payable for the year under Parts IV.1, VI and VI.1, on the date on or before which each payment is required to be made, an amount equal to the lesser of

(a)  the amount by which the amount determined under the first paragraph for the year exceeds the aggregate of all amounts each of which is the portion of that amount that may reasonably be considered to be deemed to have been paid to the Minister under this paragraph in the year but before that date; and

(b)  the amount by which the amount of that payment, determined without reference to this chapter, exceeds the aggregate of all amounts each of which is an amount that is deemed, under this chapter but otherwise than under the first paragraph, to have been paid to the Minister on that date, for the purpose of computing that payment.

Despite the definition of “specified expenses” in the first paragraph of section 1029.8.36.166.60.36 and for the purpose of applying this section to a corporation referred to in the first paragraph, the specified expenses of a partnership of which the corporation is a member for a particular fiscal period, in respect of a specified property, do not include the expenses that would otherwise be such specified expenses because of subparagraph ii of paragraph b of that definition and that are incurred in a fiscal period of the partnership that ends in a taxation year for which the corporation was not a qualified corporation.

The documents to which the first paragraph refers are the following:

(a)  the prescribed form containing prescribed information; and

(b)  a copy of the agreement described in section 1029.8.36.166.60.38, if applicable.

2021, c. 14, s. 151; 2021, c. 36, s. 124.

1029.8.36.166.60.50. The rate to which the first paragraph of sections 1029.8.36.166.60.48 and 1029.8.36.166.60.49 refers, in relation to a portion of the specified expenses of a corporation or a partnership, in respect of a specified property, for a particular taxation year of the corporation or a corporation that is a member of the partnership is

(a)  where the specified property is acquired to be used mainly in a territory with low economic vitality,

i.  if the portion of the specified expenses represents expenses that are described in the fourth paragraph, 40%, or

ii.  in any other case, 20%;

(b)  where the specified property is acquired to be used mainly in a territory with intermediate economic vitality,

i.  if the portion of the specified expenses represents expenses that are described in the fourth paragraph, 30%, or

ii.  in any other case, 15%; or

(c)  where the specified property is acquired to be used mainly in a territory with high economic vitality,

i.  if the portion of the specified expenses represents expenses that are described in the fourth paragraph, 20%, or

ii.  in any other case, 10%.

Where a specified property that is referred to in subparagraph v of paragraph b of the definition of that expression in the first paragraph of section 1029.8.36.166.60.36 is acquired by a qualified corporation or a qualified partnership to be used in several establishments of the corporation or partnership without it being possible to determine in which territory referred to in the first paragraph the property is to be mainly used, the property is, for the purposes of the first paragraph, deemed to be acquired to be so used

(a)  in a territory with low economic vitality if, in the first taxation year or the first fiscal period, as the case may be, in which specified expenses were incurred for the acquisition of the property, the proportion that the aggregate of the salaries or wages paid by the corporation or partnership to its employees who report for work at one of its establishments situated in a territory with low economic vitality is of the aggregate of the salaries or wages it paid to its employees who report for work at one of its establishments situated in Québec exceeds 50%;

(b)  in a territory with intermediate economic vitality if subparagraph a does not apply and if, in the first taxation year or the first fiscal period, as the case may be, in which specified expenses were incurred for the acquisition of the property, the proportion that the aggregate of the salaries or wages paid by the corporation or partnership to its employees who report for work at one of its establishments situated in a territory with intermediate economic vitality or in a territory with low economic vitality is of the aggregate of the salaries or wages it paid to its employees who report for work at one of its establishments situated in Québec exceeds 50%; or

(c)  in any other case, in a territory with high economic vitality.

For the purposes of the second paragraph, the following rules are taken into account:

(a)  where, in a taxation year or a fiscal period, an employee reports for work at an establishment of a corporation or partnership situated in Québec and at an establishment of the corporation or partnership situated outside Québec, the employee is deemed, for that period,

i.  unless subparagraph ii applies, to report for work only at the establishment situated in Québec, or

ii.  to report for work only at the establishment situated outside Québec if, during that period, the employee reports for work mainly at an establishment of the corporation or partnership situated outside Québec;

(b)  where, in a taxation year or a fiscal period, an employee reports for work at several establishments of a corporation or partnership and those establishments are situated in territories referred to in the first paragraph that do not have the same level of economic vitality, the employee is deemed, for that period,

i.  to report for work only at an establishment situated in a territory with low economic vitality if the employee reports for work mainly, during that period, at one or more establishments of the corporation or partnership situated in such a territory,

ii.  to report for work only at an establishment situated in a territory with intermediate economic vitality if subparagraph i does not apply and the employee reports for work mainly, during that period, at one or more establishments of the corporation or partnership situated in such a territory or in a territory with low economic vitality, or

iii.  in any other case, to report for work only at an establishment situated in a territory with high economic vitality; and

(c)  where, in a taxation year or a fiscal period, an employee is not required to report for work at an establishment of a corporation or partnership and the employee’s wages in relation to that period are paid from such an establishment situated in Québec, the employee is deemed to report for work at that establishment if the duties performed by the employee during that period are performed mainly in Québec.

The expenses referred to in subparagraph i of each of subparagraphs a to c of the first paragraph are those that are incurred in the particular period that begins on 26 March 2021 and ends on 31 December 2023, where

(a)  the property is acquired in the particular period otherwise than pursuant to an obligation in writing entered into on or before 25 March 2021 and is not a property the construction of which, by or on behalf of the purchaser, had begun by that date; or

(b)  the property is acquired after 31 December 2023 and before 1 April 2024 and either the acquisition is made pursuant to an obligation in writing entered into in the particular period, or the construction of the property, by or on behalf of the purchaser, began in that period.

For the purpose of computing the payments that a corporation is required to make under subparagraph a of the first paragraph of section 1027 or any of sections 1159.7, 1175 and 1175.19 if they refer to that subparagraph a, the corporation is deemed to have paid to the Minister, on account of the aggregate of its tax payable for the year under this Part and of its tax payable for the year under Parts IV.1, VI and VI.1, on the date on or before which each payment is required to be made, an amount equal to the lesser of

(a)  the amount by which the amount determined under the first paragraph for the year exceeds the aggregate of all amounts each of which is the portion of that amount that may reasonably be considered to be deemed to have been paid to the Minister under this paragraph in the year but before that date; and

(b)  the amount by which the amount of that payment, determined without reference to this chapter, exceeds the aggregate of all amounts each of which is an amount that is deemed, under this chapter but otherwise than under the first paragraph, to have been paid to the Minister on that date, for the purpose of computing that payment.

The amount that the corporation may be deemed to have paid to the Minister for the particular year under section 1029.8.36.166.60.51 in respect of the portion referred to in the second paragraph must be determined as if the total taxes used in establishing, for the particular year, the corporation’s limit relating to an unused portion referred to in subparagraph b of the first paragraph of that section were the portion of such total taxes of the corporation for the particular year that may reasonably be attributed to the carrying on of that business and—if the corporation sold, leased, rented or developed properties or rendered services in the course of carrying on that business before that time—of any other business all or substantially all of the income of which is derived from the sale, leasing, rental or development, as the case may be, of similar properties, or the rendering of similar services.

For the purpose of computing the payments that a corporation is required to make under subparagraph a of the first paragraph of section 1027, or any of sections 1159.7, 1175 and 1175.19 if they refer to that subparagraph a, the corporation is deemed to have paid to the Minister, on account of the aggregate of its tax payable for the year under this Part and of its tax payable for the year under Parts IV.1, VI and VI.1, on the date on or before which each payment is required to be made, an amount equal to the lesser of

1029.8.36.166.71. In this division, the qualified expenditure limit of a corporation for a taxation year is equal to

(a)  if the corporation is not a member of an associated group in the year, $375,000; or

For the purposes of this section and sections 1029.8.36.166.72 to 1029.8.36.166.74, an associated group in a taxation year means all the corporations that are associated with each other in the year and are qualified corporations for the year.

2013, c. 10, s. 123.

If the aggregate of the amounts attributed, in respect of a taxation year, pursuant to an agreement described in the first paragraph and entered into by the qualified corporations that are members of an associated group in the year exceeds $375,000, the amount determined under subparagraph b of the first paragraph of section 1029.8.36.166.71 in respect of each of those corporations for the taxation year is deemed, for the purposes of this division, to be equal to the proportion of $375,000 that that determined amount is of the aggregate of the amounts attributed for the year under the agreement.

If a qualified corporation that is a member of an associated group referred to in subparagraph b of the first paragraph of section 1029.8.36.166.71 fails to file with the Minister an agreement described in that subparagraph within 30 days after notice in writing by the Minister has been sent to any of the corporations that are members of that group that such an agreement is required for the purposes of any assessment of tax under this Part or for the determination of another amount, the Minister shall, for the purposes of this division, attribute an amount to one or more of those corporations for the taxation year, which amount or the aggregate of which amounts must be equal to $375,000, and in such a case, despite that subparagraph b, the qualified expenditure limit for the year of each of the corporations is equal to the amount so attributed to it.

2013, c. 10, s. 123.

1029.8.36.166.74. Despite sections 1029.8.36.166.71 to 1029.8.36.166.73, the following rules apply:

i.  its qualified expenditure limit for the first taxation year ending in the calendar year, determined without reference to this section, and

ii.  its qualified expenditure limit for the particular taxation year ending in the calendar year, determined without reference to this section;

(b)  if a corporation has a taxation year of fewer than 51 weeks, except in cases where paragraph c applies, the qualified expenditure limit of the corporation for the year is equal to that proportion of its qualified expenditure limit for the year, determined without reference to this paragraph, that the number of days in the year is of 365; and

(c)  if the eligibility period of a corporation for a taxation year corresponds to a part of the taxation year, the qualified expenditure limit of the corporation for the year is equal to that proportion of its qualified expenditure limit for the year, determined without reference to this paragraph, that the number of days in that period is of the number of days in the taxation year.

2013, c. 10, s. 123.

1029.8.36.166.75. Where it may reasonably be considered that one of the main reasons for the separate existence of two or more corporations in a taxation year is to cause a qualified corporation to be deemed to have paid an amount to the Minister under this division for that year or to increase an amount that a qualified corporation is deemed to have paid to the Minister under this division for that year, those corporations are deemed, for the purposes of this division, to be associated with each other in the year.

2013, c. 10, s. 123.

1029.8.36.166.77. If, in respect of a qualified expenditure of a qualified corporation, a person or a partnership has obtained, is entitled to obtain or may reasonably expect to obtain a benefit or advantage, other than a benefit or advantage that may reasonably be attributed to the qualified expenditure, whether in the form of a repayment, compensation or guarantee, in the form of proceeds of disposition of a property which exceed the fair market value of the property, or in any other form or manner, the amount of the qualified expenditure of the qualified corporation for a taxation year is, for the purpose of computing the amount that is deemed to have been paid to the Minister for that year by the qualified corporation under section 1029.8.36.166.70, to be reduced by the amount of the benefit or advantage that the person or partnership has obtained, is entitled to obtain or may reasonably expect to obtain on or before the qualified corporation’s filing-due date for the taxation year.

2013, c. 10, s. 123.

1029.8.36.166.78. If a corporation pays, in a taxation year (in this section referred to as the “repayment year”), pursuant to a legal obligation, an amount that may reasonably be considered to be a repayment of government assistance or non-government assistance that was taken into consideration for the purpose of computing the qualified expenditure of the corporation for a particular taxation year in respect of which it is deemed to have paid an amount to the Minister under section 1029.8.36.166.70 for the particular year, the corporation is deemed, if it encloses the prescribed form with the fiscal return it is required to file for the repayment year under section 1000, to have paid to the Minister on its balance-due day for the repayment year, on account of its tax payable for that year under this Part, an amount equal to the amount by which the amount that it would be deemed to have paid to the Minister for the particular year, in respect of the qualified expenditure, under section 1029.8.36.166.70 if any amount of such assistance so repaid at or before the end of the repayment year had reduced, for the particular year, the amount of any government assistance or non-government assistance referred to in section 1029.8.36.166.76, exceeds the aggregate of

(a)  the amount that it is deemed to have paid to the Minister under section 1029.8.36.166.70 for the particular year in respect of the qualified expenditure; and

(b)  any amount that it is deemed to have paid to the Minister for a taxation year preceding the repayment year under this section in respect of an amount of repayment of that assistance.

2013, c. 10, s. 123.

1029.8.36.166.79. For the purposes of section 1029.8.36.166.78, an amount of assistance is deemed to be repaid by a corporation at a particular time, pursuant to a legal obligation, if that amount

(a)  reduced, because of section 1029.8.36.166.76, a qualified expenditure for the purpose of computing the amount that the corporation is deemed to have paid to the Minister for a taxation year under section 1029.8.36.166.70;

However, the corporation may be deemed to have paid an amount to the Minister, for a particular taxation year ending after that time, in respect of the portion of an unused portion of the refundable tax credit for a taxation year ending before that time that may reasonably be considered to be attributable to the carrying on of a business, if the corporation carried on the business throughout the particular year for profit or with a reasonable expectation of profit.

The amount that the corporation may be deemed to have paid to the Minister for the particular year under section 1029.8.36.171.1 in respect of the portion referred to in the second paragraph must be determined as if the reference to the total taxes in that section were a reference to the portion of the total taxes of the corporation for the particular year that may reasonably be attributed to the carrying on of that business and, where the corporation sold, leased, rented or developed properties or rendered services in the course of carrying on that business before that time, of any other business substantially all the income of which is derived from the sale, leasing, rental or development, as the case may be, of similar properties, or the rendering of similar services.

DIVISION II.8 CREDIT FOR THE REPAYMENT OF BENEFITS

1992, c. 1, s. 177.

1029.8.50. An individual who is resident in Québec on the last day of a particular taxation year and repays, in that year, all or part of an amount that is a benefit received by the individual under the Act respecting parental insurance (chapter A-29.011), the Act respecting the Québec Pension Plan (chapter R-9) or a similar plan within the meaning of that Act, or under the Unemployment Insurance Act (R.S.C. 1985, c. U-1) or the Employment Insurance Act (S.C.1996, c. 23) and included by the individual in computing the individual’s income for one or more preceding taxation years, is deemed to have paid to the Minister on the individual’s balance-due day for the particular taxation year, on account of the individual’s tax payable for the particular year under this Part, the aggregate of all amounts each of which is an amount determined, for a preceding taxation year that is an eligible taxation year of the individual, within the meaning of section 766.2.2, to which the amount so repaid relates, in whole or in part, hereinafter called the “taxation year to which the averaging applies”, by the formula

A − B.

However, the first paragraph does not apply

(a)  in respect of an amount repaid by the individual in the particular year under Part VII of the Unemployment Insurance Act or Part VII of the Employment Insurance Act; and

(b)  in respect of an individual who deducts an amount for the particular year under paragraph d of section 336 as a repayment of a benefit referred to in the first paragraph.

In the formula in the first paragraph,

(a)  A is the total of the tax that would have been payable by the individual, for the taxation year to which the averaging applies, under this Part and, if the taxation year to which the averaging applies precedes the year 1998, under Part I.1, as it read for that year, if the aggregate of all amounts each of which is the portion of an amount subject to an averaging mechanism, in relation to the individual for the particular taxation year or a preceding taxation year, that relates to the taxation year to which the averaging applies, except such an amount that is a repayment referred to in the first paragraph that the individual makes in the particular year, had been included or deducted in computing the individual’s taxable income for the taxation year to which the averaging applies; and

(b)  B is the total of the tax that would have been payable by the individual, for the taxation year to which the averaging applies, under this Part and, if the taxation year to which the averaging applies precedes the year 1998, under Part I.1, as it read for that year, if the aggregate of all amounts each of which is the portion of an amount subject to an averaging mechanism, in relation to the individual for the particular taxation year or a preceding taxation year, that relates to the taxation year to which the averaging applies, had been included or deducted in computing the individual’s taxable income for the taxation year to which the averaging applies.

For the purposes of the third paragraph, “amount subject to an averaging mechanism”, in relation to an individual for a taxation year, means an amount that is received or paid by the individual in the year and that is referred to in any of subparagraphs a to c of the first paragraph of section 766.2, or an amount paid by the individual in the year and in respect of which the first paragraph applies, except, in respect of a taxation year to which the averaging applies and that ends before 1 January 2003, such an amount received or paid in a taxation year that ends before 1 January 2004.

If the second paragraph of section 22 applies to an individual, the amount that the individual is deemed to have paid to the Minister for the year under the first paragraph shall not exceed such portion of that amount as is represented by the proportion determined in respect of the individual for the year under the second paragraph of section 22.

For the purposes of the first paragraph, if an individual dies or ceases to be resident in Canada in a taxation year, the last day of that taxation year is the day on which the individual died or the last day on which the individual was resident in Canada.

In addition, for the purpose of establishing the amount determined by the formula in the first paragraph in respect of a taxation year to which the averaging applies, the following rules apply:

(a)  the proportion referred to in the second paragraph of section 22 for the taxation year to which the averaging applies is deemed to be equal to 1; and

(b)  if an individual was resident in Canada outside Québec on the last day of the taxation year to which the averaging applies, the individual is deemed to have been resident in Québec on the last day of that year.

For the purpose of applying this Part to any taxation year,

(a)  an amount that is otherwise deducted in computing an individual’s taxable income or tax payable under this Part for a taxation year subsequent to the taxation year to which the averaging applies may not be taken into account for the purpose of establishing the amount determined in respect of the individual under subparagraph a or b of the third paragraph for the taxation year to which the averaging applies; and

(b)  an amount that, under subparagraph a of the sixth paragraph of section 766.3.2, is deemed to be deducted in computing an individual’s taxable income or tax payable under this Part for a taxation year to which the averaging applies, because it is deducted in that computation for the purpose of establishing the amount determined in respect of the individual under subparagraph a or d of the second paragraph of section 766.3.2 or subparagraph b of the third paragraph of that section for the taxation year to which the averaging applies, may not be taken into account for the purpose of establishing the amount determined in respect of the individual under subparagraph a or b of the third paragraph for the taxation year to which the averaging applies.

2005, c. 23, s. 228.

1029.8.50.2. An individual resident in Québec at the end of a taxation year is deemed to have paid to the Minister, on the individual’s filing-due date for the year, on account of the individual’s tax payable for the year under this Part, an amount equal to the aggregate of all amounts each of which is an amount deducted or withheld, under the second paragraph of section 1129.68, in respect of an income-averaging annuity payment respecting income from artistic activities, as defined in section 1129.67, to the extent that each of the amounts referred to in the definition of that expression is included in computing the individual’s income for the year under paragraph c or d.1 of section 312.

For the purposes of the first paragraph, the following rules apply:

(a)  if an individual dies or ceases to be resident in Canada in a taxation year, the last day of the individual’s taxation year is the day of the individual’s death or the last day on which the individual was resident in Canada; and

(b)  if an amount is not deducted or withheld in accordance with the second paragraph of section 1129.68 in respect of an income-averaging annuity payment respecting income from artistic activities and the tax provided for in section 1129.68 is paid, in respect of the income-averaging annuity payment respecting income from artistic activities, by the individual referred to in the first paragraph of that section, or by the person referred to in the second paragraph of that section, the amount so paid is deemed to have been deducted or withheld in accordance with the second paragraph of section 1129.68 in respect of the income-averaging annuity payment respecting income from artistic activities.

For the purpose of computing the payments that an individual referred to in the first paragraph is required to make under section 1025 or 1026, the individual is deemed to have paid to the Minister, on account of the individual’s tax payable for the year under this Part, on the date on or before which each payment is required to be made, an amount equal to the lesser of

(a)  the amount by which the amount determined under the first paragraph for the year exceeds the aggregate of all amounts each of which is the portion of that amount that may reasonably be considered to be deemed to have been paid to the Minister under this paragraph in the year but before that date; and

(b)  the amount by which the amount of that payment, determined without reference to this chapter, exceeds the aggregate of all amounts each of which is an amount that is deemed, under this chapter but otherwise than under the first paragraph, to have been paid to the Minister on that date, for the purpose of computing that payment.

1029.8.61.18.3. An eligible individual, in respect of an eligible dependent child, may, at any time, waive entitlement to receive an amount in respect of a family allowance in favour of another eligible individual, in respect of the eligible dependent child, who is the eligible individual’s cohabiting spouse, provided Retraite Québec is so notified.

The waiver takes effect from the date, subsequent to the date of the notice to Retraite Québec, on which an amount is paid in respect of a family allowance.

Retraite Québec may, in exceptional circumstances and if it is convinced that it is in the family’s interest, pay an amount in respect of a family allowance that an eligible individual in respect of an eligible dependent child is entitled to receive to the eligible individual’s cohabiting spouse if that spouse is also an eligible individual in respect of the eligible dependent child.

2006, c. 13, s. 182; 2015, c. 20, s. 61; 2019, c. 14, s. 666.

1029.8.61.19. An eligible dependent child to whom subparagraph b of the second paragraph of section 1029.8.61.18 refers is a child who, according to the prescribed rules, 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.

For the purpose of considering an amount in respect of the supplement for handicapped children under subparagraph b of the second paragraph of section 1029.8.61.18 for a particular month, an application must be filed with Retraite Québec no later than 11 months after the end of the particular month and be accompanied by the report of a member of a professional order assessing the child’s condition for a period that precedes the application date by no more than 12 months.

There is an exemption from filing a new application and from filing a new report of a member of a professional order for the purpose of considering an amount in respect of the supplement for handicapped children under subparagraph b of the second paragraph of section 1029.8.61.18, where an individual becomes an eligible individual, in respect of an eligible child who already gives rise to entitlement to an amount in respect of the supplement for handicapped children and in respect of whom the individual has filed or is deemed to have filed an application under the first paragraph of section 1029.8.61.24.

Where divergent opinions exist concerning the assessment of the child’s condition, Retraite Québec may require that the child be examined by the physician it designates or by any other member of a professional order. If valid grounds are presented to oppose the choice of the physician or the member of a professional order, Retraite Québec shall designate another physician or member of a professional order.

Retraite Québec may, at any time, require that the child’s condition be reassessed.

Despite the first paragraph, the child is not considered to be an eligible dependent child to whom subparagraph b of the second paragraph of section 1029.8.61.18 refers if

(a)  without a valid reason, the treatments or measures likely to improve the child’s condition are not applied or continued; or

(b)  there is refusal or omission to comply with a request for information or an examination to assess the child’s condition.

2005, c. 1, s. 257; 2006, c. 13, s. 183; 2015, c. 20, s. 61; 2017, c. 29, s. 186.

1029.8.61.19.1. For the purposes of subparagraph c of the second paragraph of section 1029.8.61.18 and subject to sections 1029.8.61.19.2 to 1029.8.61.19.4,

(a)  for the purpose of computing the amount for the first level, an eligible dependent child to whom subparagraph i of subparagraph c of the second paragraph of section 1029.8.61.18 refers is a child described in the first paragraph of section 1029.8.61.19 who is, according to the prescribed rules in the case of a situation described in subparagraph i or ii, in any of the following situations:

i.  the child is two years of age or over at the beginning of the particular month and, during a foreseeable period of at least one year, has an impairment or a mental function disability entailing serious and multiple disabilities that prevent the child—to the extent prescribed for computing the amount for the first level—from independently performing the life habits of a child of his or her age,

ii.  the child’s state of health at the beginning of the particular month requires, during a foreseeable period of at least one year, specified complex medical care at home that is described in the first paragraph of section 1029.8.61.19.3 and, where the child is six years of age or over at the beginning of the particular month and the care is care described in subparagraph i or ii of subparagraph a of that paragraph, the child’s state of health limits the child—to the extent prescribed—in performing the life habits of a child of his or her age, or

iii.  the child is under two years of age at the beginning of the particular month and

(1)  has an established serious chronic disease, without known treatment, and presents both serious, multiple and persistent disabilities, including very severe motor disabilities, and a significant and persistent daily symptomatology requiring multiple complex medical care, or

(2)  has a neurogenetic, congenital or metabolic disease, without known treatment, that limits life expectancy to childhood and is associated with a very significant symptomatology from the first months of life due to serious, multiple and persistent disabilities; and

(b)  for the purpose of computing the amount for the second level, an eligible dependent child to whom subparagraph ii of subparagraph c of the second paragraph of section 1029.8.61.18 refers is a child described in the first paragraph of section 1029.8.61.19 who is, according to the prescribed rules, in either of the following situations:

i.  the child is two years of age or over at the beginning of the particular month and, during a foreseeable period of at least one year, has an impairment or a mental function disability entailing serious and multiple disabilities that prevent the child—to the extent prescribed for computing the amount for the second level—from independently performing the life habits of a child of his or her age, or

ii.  the child’s state of health at the beginning of the particular month requires, during a foreseeable period of at least one year, specified complex medical care at home that is described in the second paragraph of section 1029.8.61.19.3.

For the purpose of considering an amount in respect of the supplement for handicapped children requiring exceptional care under subparagraph c of the second paragraph of section 1029.8.61.18 for a particular month, an application must be filed with Retraite Québec no later than 11 months after the end of the particular month and be accompanied by pluridisciplinary reports made in respect of the child.

Where divergent opinions exist concerning the assessment of the child’s condition, Retraite Québec may require that the child be examined by the physician it designates or by any other member of a professional order. If valid grounds are presented to oppose the choice of the physician or the member of a professional order, Retraite Québec shall designate another physician or member of a professional order.

An eligible individual, in respect of a child, who becomes aware that a change in the child’s condition is likely to change the child’s eligibility for the amount for the first or second level must file with Retraite Québec an application for the reassessment of the child’s condition.

Retraite Québec may, at any time, require that the child’s condition be reassessed.

Where the reassessment of the child’s condition under the fourth or fifth paragraph has the effect of increasing or reducing an amount in respect of the supplement for handicapped children requiring exceptional care that an individual is entitled to receive, the following rules apply:

(a)  if the reassessment has the effect of increasing the amount that the individual is entitled to receive, the amount is revised as of the particular month following the month in which the application for reassessment is received by Retraite Québec or, if the reassessment is required by Retraite Québec under the fifth paragraph, as of the particular month following the month in which the information required for the analysis of the child’s condition is received by Retraite Québec; and

(b)  if the reassessment has the effect of reducing the amount that the individual is entitled to receive or of causing the individual to no longer be entitled to such an amount, the amount is revised or is no longer paid, as the case may be, as of the particular month following the month in which the decision is rendered by Retraite Québec.

Despite the first paragraph, a child is not considered to be an eligible dependent child to whom subparagraph c of the second paragraph of section 1029.8.61.18 refers if

iii.  is not frequently administered to children in the child’s age group, and

iv.  requires specialized equipment or a person to be available at all times to respond to any change in the child’s clinical condition; and

(c)  a disease is considered as limiting life expectancy to childhood if the disease is associated with death occurring before the age of 18 years among the majority of children with this disease, despite optimal care.

1029.8.61.20. Each of the amounts referred to in the fourth paragraph shall, where it is to be used for a taxation year subsequent to the taxation year 2020, be adjusted annually in such a manner that the amount used for that taxation year is equal to the total of the amount used for the preceding taxation year and the product obtained by multiplying that amount so used by the factor determined by the formula

An individual is deemed to have filed an application, in respect of an eligible dependent child, with Retraite Québec within the time prescribed in the first paragraph if the registrar of civil status provides Retraite Québec with the information required to establish the individual’s eligibility.

There is an exemption from filing a new application, in respect of a child, where, no later than 12 months after the cessation of the entitlement to receive an amount in respect of a family allowance by reason of non-compliance with the conditions relating to the contribution that was payable under the Regulation respecting the application of the Act respecting health services and social services for Cree Native persons (chapter S-5, r. 1) in respect of the child who is lodged or sheltered pursuant to the law, Retraite Québec is informed that the child is no longer lodged or sheltered at a particular time that is before 1 September 2021 or that those conditions have been satisfied before that date.

1029.8.61.25. An individual who receives an amount in respect of a family allowance and who ceases to be an eligible individual, in respect of an eligible dependent child, in a particular month, otherwise than because the child reaches 18 years of age, shall notify Retraite Québec thereof before the end of the first month that follows the particular month.

1029.8.61.26.1. If a change in circumstances has the effect of increasing an amount in respect of a family allowance that an individual is entitled to receive, the amount is revised from the beginning of the particular month that follows the month in which the change in circumstances occurs, provided that Retraite Québec is notified of the change at or before the end of the eleventh month following the particular month or, if Retraite Québec is notified of the change after that time, from the beginning of the eleventh month that precedes the month in which Retraite Québec is notified of the change.

2005, c. 1, s. 257; 2006, c. 13, s. 188; 2015, c. 20, s. 61; 2019, c. 14, s. 666.

§ 3 . — Payment and recovery by Retraite Québec

2005, c. 1, s. 257; 2015, c. 20, s. 61.

1029.8.61.28. Retraite Québec shall pay to an eligible individual who is entitled to receive an amount in respect of a family allowance, in respect of an eligible dependent child, in the first 15 days of January, April, July and October of a taxation year, the amounts determined, in respect of the eligible individual, in respect of a family allowance for each month in that year, according to the following terms and conditions:

Despite the first paragraph, Retraite Québec may, on application, pay an amount as or on account of a family allowance in the first 15 days of each month in a taxation year and such a payment shall include only the amount determined in respect of a family allowance for the month of that payment.

However, the payment made under the first or second paragraph of an amount determined in respect of a family allowance for a particular month that is either January 2018 or July of a year subsequent to the year 2017 does not include the portion of that amount that is attributable to the supplement for the purchase of school supplies, which portion is paid separately by Retraite Québec on or before the last day of the month following the particular month.

2005, c. 1, s. 257; 2006, c. 13, s. 189; 2015, c. 20, s. 61; 2019, c. 14, s. 375.

1029.8.61.29. At the request of the Minister of Employment and Social Solidarity, Retraite Québec shall deduct from the amount to be paid as or on account of a family allowance the amount repayable under section 90 of the Individual and Family Assistance Act (chapter A-13.1.1) and shall remit the amount so deducted to the Minister of Employment and Social Solidarity.

2005, c. 1, s. 257; 2006, c. 25, s. 13; 2007, c. 12, s. 201; 2015, c. 20, s. 61; 2019, c. 14, s. 666.

1029.8.61.30. Sections 1051 and 1052 and sections 28 and 30.1 of the Tax Administration Act (chapter A-6.002) do not apply in respect of an amount paid as or on account of a family allowance under section 1029.8.61.28.

Despite section 31 of the Tax Administration Act, where a person is a debtor under a fiscal law or about to become so, or is in debt to the State under an Act other than a fiscal law and referred to in a regulation made under the second paragraph of that section, the Minister may not allocate to the payment of the debt of that person any amount to be paid to the person by Retraite Québec under section 1029.8.61.28.

2005, c. 1, s. 257; 2010, c. 31, s. 175; 2015, c. 20, s. 61; 2019, c. 14, s. 666.

1029.8.61.31. The claim of an individual in respect of the payment of an amount in respect of a family allowance is prescribed by three years.

However, the prescription does not run where the payment made by Retraite Québec results from a new computation of the income taken into account in determining an amount in respect of a family allowance.

2005, c. 1, s. 257; 2015, c. 20, s. 61; 2019, c. 14, s. 666.

2005, c. 1, s. 257; 2015, c. 20, s. 61; 2019, c. 14, s. 666.

1029.8.61.33. An individual who receives an amount in respect of a family allowance without entitlement must repay such an amount to Retraite Québec, except if the amount was paid as a result of an administrative error that the individual could not reasonably have noticed.

2005, c. 1, s. 257; 2015, c. 20, s. 61; 2019, c. 14, s. 666.

1029.8.61.34. An amount owing to Retraite Québec by an individual must be repaid to Retraite Québec in full from the date of the formal notice that Retraite Québec sends to the individual.

The formal notice shall state the grounds for the demand for repayment, the amount to be repaid, the right to apply for a review of the decision within the time limit provided for in section 1029.8.61.39 and, subject to the conditions set out in section 1029.8.61.41, the right to contest the review decision before the Administrative Tribunal of Québec.

The claim of Retraite Québec is prescribed by three years from the date on which the amount was paid without entitlement or, in the case of bad faith on the part of the individual who received the amount without entitlement, from the date on which Retraite Québec became aware of the fact that that amount had been paid without entitlement.

(b)  the provisions of the Act respecting family benefits (chapter P-19.1), as they applied in respect of the debtor; and

(c)  the provisions of the Act respecting family assistance allowances (chapter A-17), as they applied in respect of the debtor.

(b)  if Retraite Québec considers it necessary, to allow it to make a decision, that an examination be conducted by a health professional or that documents be produced, the time limit is extended for 90 days; the individual who applied for the review must be notified of the extension.

(a)  the lesser of $10,000 and 50% of the individual’s pre-existing expenses which the individual paid in the year; and

(b)  the amount determined by the formula

(b)  B is the lesser of $20,000 and the individual’s eligible expenses which the individual paid in the year; and

(c)  C is the individual’s pre-existing expenses which the individual paid in the year.

For the purposes of this section, an individual who is resident in Québec immediately before the individual’s death is deemed to be resident in Québec at the end of 31 December of the year of the individual’s death.

An individual shall not be deemed to have paid to the Minister an amount under section 1029.8.66.2 for a taxation year, unless the individual files with the Minister, together with the fiscal return the individual is required to file under section 1000 for the year, or that the individual would be required to so file if tax were payable by the individual for the year under this Part, the following documents:

(a)  the prescribed form containing the prescribed information;

(b)  a copy of all receipts providing evidence of the expenses referred to in any of subparagraphs i to v of paragraph c of the definition of “eligible expenses” in the first paragraph of section 1029.8.66.1; and

1029.8.66.5. Where, in a taxation year, eligible expenses in respect of the same parental project were paid by more than one individual, the total eligible expenses that may be taken into account for the purpose of computing the amount that each of those individuals is deemed to have paid to the Minister under section 1029.8.66.2 for the year may not be greater than the amount of eligible expenses that could be so taken into account for the year if only one of the individuals had paid all of the expenses.

Where those individuals cannot agree as to the amount of eligible expenses each individual may take into account for the purpose of computing the amount that that individual is deemed to have paid to the Minister under section 1029.8.66.2 for the year, the Minister may determine that amount for the year.

(a)  A is the amount that the individual would be deemed to have paid to the Minister, under the first paragraph of section 1029.8.116.5 or 1029.8.116.5.0.1, on account of the individual’s tax payable for the year, if the total of the individual’s work income for the year and, where applicable, that of the individual’s spouse at the time of the application or at the beginning of the relevant month, as the case may be, were the aggregate of the work income they earned, for the portion of that year that ends at the end of the month that precedes the relevant month, as those work incomes were determined by the Minister of Employment and Social Solidarity for the purposes of the Individual and Family Assistance Act; and

(b)  B is the aggregate of the payments that the individual received in the year, under this section and section 1029.8.116.9, before the month in which the increased amount of the advance relating to the work premium determined in respect of the relevant month is paid.

(a)  $2,400, where the individual considers that the individual will be deemed to have paid an amount to the Minister under the first paragraph of section 1029.8.116.5 and the individual does not have a spouse at that time;

(b)  $3,600, where the individual considers that the individual will be deemed to have paid an amount to the Minister under the first paragraph of section 1029.8.116.5 and the individual has a spouse at that time; or

(c)  $1,200, where the individual considers that the individual will be deemed to have paid an amount to the Minister under the first paragraph of section 1029.8.116.5.0.1.

The Minister shall cease to pay the amount of the advance relating to the work premium to an individual from the first month in which an increased amount of the advance relating to the work premium is paid to the individual or would be paid to the individual if that amount were greater than zero.

2017, c. 1, s. 320.

1029.8.116.9.0.4.

(b)  for each of the other eligible months, the Minister shall pay to the individual an amount of $200 on or before the 15th day of the following month.

(c)  if an individual who was not resident in Québec on 31 December of a particular base year was resident in Canada throughout that year, the individual’s income for the year is deemed to be equal to the individual’s income for that year for the purposes of Part I of the Income Tax Act (R.S.C. 1985, c. 1 (5th Suppl.));

If, in respect of a child, an individual receives for a month included in a particular payment period, or for a particular month preceding 1 July 2016, an amount deemed under section 1029.8.61.18 to be an overpayment of the individual’s tax payable and the individual was not resident in Québec on 31 December of the base year relating to that payment period or to the particular month, as the case may be, for the purpose of determining for that base year the family income of the individual, the individual’s income for the base year is, despite the first paragraph, the individual’s income for that year for the purposes of Division II.11.2.

However, an individual’s family income for the base year relating to a particular payment period, or to a particular month preceding 1 July 2016, is deemed to be equal to zero if, for the last month of that base year, the individual or the individual’s cohabiting spouse at the end of that year is a recipient under a financial assistance program provided for in any of Chapters I, II, V and VI of Title II of the Individual and Family Assistance Act (chapter A-13.1.1) or Chapter III of Title II of that Act, as it read before being repealed.

1029.8.116.16. The amount that, subject to section 1029.8.116.17.1, is determined by the following formula is deemed, for a particular payment period, to be an overpayment of tax payable under this Part by an eligible individual in respect of that period, if the eligible individual makes an application to that effect in accordance with section 1029.8.116.18 and if the individual and, if applicable, the individual’s cohabiting spouse at the end of the base year relating to that period file the document specified in section 1029.8.116.19 for that base year:

A + B + C − D.

In the formula in the first paragraph,

(a)  A is the aggregate of

i.  $329,

ii.  $329 if, at the end of the base year relating to the particular payment period, the eligible individual has a cohabiting spouse resident in Québec who ordinarily lives with the individual and, subject to the fourth paragraph, is not confined to a prison or a similar institution, and

iii.  $156 if, throughout that base year, the eligible individual ordinarily lives in a self-contained domestic establishment in which no other person 18 years of age or over ordinarily lives;

(b)  B is an amount equal to zero, unless, at the end of the base year relating to the particular payment period, the eligible individual, or the individual’s cohabiting spouse with whom the individual ordinarily lives, owns, leases or subleases the individual’s eligible dwelling and the information described in section 1029.8.116.19.1 has been provided, in which case B is the aggregate of

i.  $677 if, at the end of that base year, the eligible individual owns, leases or subleases the eligible dwelling and, at that time, neither the individual’s cohabiting spouse, nor another eligible individual who owns, leases or subleases the dwelling with the individual, ordinarily lives in the dwelling,

ii.  if, at the end of that base year, the eligible individual is not referred to in subparagraph i,

(1)  $821 where, at the end of that base year, the eligible individual lives in the eligible dwelling with the individual’s cohabiting spouse and, at that time, no other eligible individual who owns, leases or subleases the dwelling ordinarily lives in the dwelling, or

(2)  in any other case, the particular amount that is the quotient obtained by dividing $821 by the number of persons who, at the end of that base year, own, lease or sublease the eligible dwelling and ordinarily live in the dwelling, or twice the particular amount where, at that time, the eligible individual and the individual’s cohabiting spouse are such persons,

iii.  the product obtained by multiplying $144 by the number of persons each of whom is a child, other than a child referred to in section 1029.8.61.18.2, in respect of whom the eligible individual, or the person who at the end of that base year is the individual’s cohabiting spouse with whom the individual ordinarily lives, has received, for the last month of that year, an amount deemed under section 1029.8.61.18 to be an overpayment of tax payable, and

iv.  50% of the product obtained by multiplying $144 by the number of persons each of whom is a child referred to in section 1029.8.61.18.2 in respect of whom the eligible individual, or the person who at the end of that base year is the individual’s cohabiting spouse with whom the individual ordinarily lives, has received, for the last month of that year, an amount deemed under section 1029.8.61.18 to be an overpayment of tax payable;

(c)  C is an amount equal to zero, unless, at the end of the base year relating to the particular payment period, the eligible individual ordinarily lives in the territory of a northern village in which the individual’s principal place of residence is situated, in which case C is the aggregate of

i.  $1,935,

ii.  $1,935 if, at the end of that base year, the eligible individual has a cohabiting spouse:

(1)  who ordinarily lives in that territory with the eligible individual,

(2)  whose principal place of residence is situated in that territory, and

(3)  who, subject to the fourth paragraph, is not confined to a prison or a similar institution,

iii.  the product obtained by multiplying $418 by the number of persons each of whom is a child in respect of whom the following conditions are met at the end of that base year:

(1)  the child is not referred to in section 1029.8.61.18.2,

(2)  the child ordinarily lives in that territory in which the child’s principal place of residence is situated, and

(3)  the eligible individual or the individual’s cohabiting spouse has received in relation to that child, for the last month of that year, an amount deemed under section 1029.8.61.18 to be an overpayment of tax payable, and

iv.  50% of the product obtained by multiplying $418 by the number of persons each of whom is a child in respect of whom the following conditions are met at the end of that base year:

(1)  the child is referred to in section 1029.8.61.18.2,

(2)  the child ordinarily lives in that territory in which the child’s principal place of residence is situated, and

(3)  the eligible individual or the individual’s cohabiting spouse has received in relation to that child, for the last month of that year, an amount deemed under section 1029.8.61.18 to be an overpayment of tax payable; and

(d)  D is the amount determined by the formula

E × (F − G).

In the formula in subparagraph d of the second paragraph,

(a)  E is

i.  3%, if B and C in the formula in the first paragraph have a value equal to zero in respect of the eligible individual for the particular payment period, or

ii.  6%, in any other case;

(b)  F is the eligible individual’s family income for the base year relating to the particular payment period; and

(c)  G is an amount of $39,160.

For the purposes of this section, a person is deemed not to be confined to a prison or similar institution at the end of a base year if

(a)  the total number of days in the year during which the person was confined to the prison or similar institution is less than or equal to 183; and

(b)  at that time, the person could reasonably be expected not to be confined to the prison or similar institution throughout the following taxation year.

Where a child is born or adopted in the last month of the base year relating to a particular payment period, or to a particular month preceding 1 July 2016, the eligible individual in respect of that period or that month, or the individual’s cohabiting spouse at the end of that base year, as the case may be, is deemed, for the purposes of subparagraphs b and c of the second paragraph, to have received, in relation to the child, for the last month of that base year, an amount deemed under section 1029.8.61.18 to be an overpayment of tax payable, if it is reasonable to consider that that person will receive such an amount in relation to the child for the first month following that year.

2011, c. 1, s. 89; 2011, c. 34, s. 105; 2015, c. 21, s. 487; 2015, c. 36, s. 130; 2017, c. 1, s. 326; 2019, c. 14, s. 406; 2024, c. 11, s. 127.

1029.8.116.17. If section 1029.8.116.16, as it read in its application before 1 January 2012, applies in respect of a particular month included in the taxation year 2011, it is to be read

(a)  as if “1/12” in the formula in the first paragraph were replaced by “1/6”;

(b)  as if “$265” and “$128” wherever they appear in subparagraph a of the second paragraph were replaced by “$220” and “$125”, respectively;

(c)  as if “$515”, “$625” and “$110” wherever they appear in subparagraph b of the second paragraph were replaced by “$75”, “$100” and “$25”, respectively; and

(d)  as if “$790” and “$339” wherever they appear in subparagraph c of the second paragraph were replaced by “$775” and “$332”, respectively.

For the purpose of applying this division to a particular month of the taxation year 2016 that precedes 1 July, section 1029.8.116.16, as it read in its application before that date, is to be read as if

(a)  “described in the fifth paragraph” and “the individual’s cohabiting spouse at the beginning of the particular month” in the portion of the first paragraph before the formula were replaced by “described in the seventh paragraph” and “the individual’s cohabiting spouse at the end of the base year relating to the particular month”, respectively;

(b)  “at the beginning of the particular month” were replaced by “at the end of the base year relating to the particular month” in the following provisions of the second paragraph:

i.  subparagraph ii of subparagraph a,

ii.  the portion of subparagraph b before subparagraph i,

iii.  subparagraphs i to iii of subparagraph b,

iv.  the portion of subparagraph c before subparagraph i, and

v.  the portion of each of subparagraphs ii, iii and iv of subparagraph c before subparagraph 1;

(c)  “at the beginning of the particular month” and “no other eligible individual” in subparagraph iii of subparagraph a of the second paragraph were replaced by “throughout the base year relating to the particular month” and “no other person 18 years of age or over”, respectively;

(d)  “and the information described in section 1029.8.116.19.1 has been provided” were inserted after “the individual’s eligible dwelling” in the portion of subparagraph b of the second paragraph before subparagraph i;

(e)  “but owns, leases or subleases the eligible dwelling” in subparagraph iii of subparagraph b of the second paragraph were replaced by “but the individual or the individual’s cohabiting spouse owns, leases or subleases the eligible dwelling”;

(f)  “at that time” and “receives, for the particular month” in each of subparagraphs iv and v of subparagraph b of the second paragraph were replaced by “at the end of the base year relating to the particular month” and “has received, for the last month of that year”, respectively;

(g)  “receives in relation to that child, for the particular month” in subparagraph 3 of each of subparagraphs iii and iv of subparagraph c of the second paragraph were replaced by “has received in relation to that child, for the last month of that year“; and

(h)  subparagraph a of the fourth paragraph were replaced by the following subparagraph:

“(a) 2, if, at the end of the base year relating to the particular month, the eligible individual and the individual’s cohabiting spouse with whom the individual ordinarily lives in the eligible dwelling are such owners, lessees or sublessees; and”.

2011, c. 1, s. 89; 2015, c. 21, s. 488; 2015, c. 36, s. 131.

1029.8.116.17.1. The amount determined under section 1029.8.116.16 for a particular payment period in respect of an eligible individual may not be less than the amount that would be determined in respect of the eligible individual for that period if, in the formula in the first paragraph of that section, the amounts for B and C were each equal to zero.

2011, c. 34, s. 106; 2015, c. 36, s. 132.

1029.8.116.18. The application referred to in the first paragraph of section 1029.8.116.16 must be filed with the Minister no later than 31 December of the fourth year following the base year relating to the payment period in respect of which the application is made, by means of

(a)  if the eligible individual is resident in Québec on 31 December of the base year, the prescribed form containing prescribed information which the individual encloses with the fiscal return the individual is required to file under section 1000 for that year, or would be required to file if the individual had tax payable for that year under this Part; or

(b)  in any other case, the prescribed form containing prescribed information.

If, at the end of the base year relating to a particular payment period, or to a particular month preceding 1 July 2016, an eligible individual ordinarily lives with another eligible individual who is the individual’s cohabiting spouse, the application of only one of them may be considered to be valid in respect of that period or that month, as the case may be.

The Minister may, at any time, extend the time for filing the application to which the first paragraph refers.

An application is considered validly made in accordance with this section only if the eligible individual and, if applicable, the individual’s cohabiting spouse at the end of the base year concerned have filed the document required by the first paragraph of section 1029.8.116.16 with the Minister.

For the purposes of this section, an application is deemed to be filed with the Minister, at a particular time, by an eligible individual for a payment period where the individual and, if applicable, the individual’s cohabiting spouse at the end of the base year relating to that period filed, at the particular time, a fiscal return under section 1000 for that year and where, in that respect, the amount deemed to be an overpayment of the eligible individual’s tax payable in respect of that period is determined by the formula in the first paragraph of section 1029.8.116.16 as if the value of A did not include the amount specified in subparagraph iii of subparagraph a of the second paragraph of that section and the value of B and C were equal to zero.

2011, c. 1, s. 89; 2015, c. 36, s. 132; 2017, c. 1, s. 327; 2019, c. 14, s. 407.

1029.8.116.18.1. For the purposes of section 1029.8.116.16, an eligible individual is deemed to have validly made an application in accordance with section 1029.8.116.18 for a payment period if

(a)  for the last month of the base year relating to that period, the eligible individual is a recipient under a financial assistance program provided for in any of Chapters I, II, V and VI of Title II of the Individual and Family Assistance Act (chapter A-13.1.1); and

(b)  on 1 September of the year in which that period begins, the eligible individual had not filed a fiscal return under section 1000 for the base year in relation to that period.

The application referred to in the first paragraph is deemed to have been filed with the Minister on 1 September of the year in which the payment period begins.

2021, c. 14, s. 159; 2023, c. 19, s. 117.

1029.8.116.18.2. In respect of an application that an eligible individual is deemed to have validly made under section 1029.8.116.18.1 for a payment period, the following rules apply:

(a)  section 1029.8.116.16 is to be read without reference to “and if the individual and, if applicable, the individual’s cohabiting spouse at the end of the base year relating to that period file the document specified in section 1029.8.116.19 for that base year” in the portion before the formula in the first paragraph; and

(b)  the amount that is deemed, for the payment period, to be an overpayment of the tax payable by the eligible individual is determined by the formula in the first paragraph of section 1029.8.116.16 as if

i.  the amount represented by A were equal to the amount specified in subparagraph i of subparagraph a of the second paragraph of section 1029.8.116.16, unless the Minister holds, in respect of the eligible individual, the information necessary to determine the individual’s eligibility for the amount specified in subparagraph ii or iii of that subparagraph a, as the case may be, and

ii.  the amounts represented by B and C were each equal to zero.

2021, c. 14, s. 159.

1029.8.116.19. The document to which the first paragraph of section 1029.8.116.16 refers is

(a)  if the individual is resident in Québec on 31 December of the base year, the fiscal return the individual is required to file under section 1000 for the year, or would be required to file if the individual had tax payable for the year under this Part;

(b)  if the individual is not resident in Québec on 31 December of the base year but is resident in Canada throughout that year, the return of income the individual is required to file under Part I of the Income Tax Act (R.S.C. 1985, c. 1 (5th Suppl.)) for that year or a statement of income for that year that the individual files by means of the prescribed form containing prescribed information; and

(c)  in any other case, a statement of income for the base year that the individual files by means of the prescribed form containing prescribed information.

If, in respect of a child, an individual receives for a month included in a particular payment period, or for a particular month preceding 1 July 2016, an amount deemed under section 1029.8.61.18 to be an overpayment of the individual’s tax payable and, for the base year relating to that payment period or to the particular month, as the case may be, the document that the individual is required to file is any of the documents specified in subparagraphs b and c of the first paragraph, the document is deemed to be filed by the individual if the corresponding document referred to in paragraph b or c of section 1029.8.61.23 has been sent to Retraite Québec.

2015, c. 36, s. 134; 2017, c. 1, s. 328.

1029.8.116.20. If, at the end of the base year relating to a particular payment period or to a particular month preceding 1 July 2016, an eligible individual is not the owner, lessee or sublessee of the individual’s eligible dwelling and the particular person who is the owner, lessee or sublessee of the dwelling is, at that time, either confined to a prison or a similar institution, or living in a dwelling that is the individual’s principal place of residence and that is in a health services and social services network facility, and was, immediately before the beginning of being confined in the prison or similar institution or living in the dwelling, as the case may be, the cohabiting spouse of the individual with whom the particular person ordinarily lived, the eligible individual rather than the particular person is, for the purposes of subparagraph b of the second paragraph of section 1029.8.116.16, deemed, at the end of the base year, to be the owner, lessee or sublessee, as applicable, of the dwelling.

However, the first paragraph does not apply if, at the end of the base year, the particular person is not the cohabiting spouse of the individual.

2011, c. 1, s. 89; 2011, c. 34, s. 107; 2015, c. 36, s. 135.

1029.8.116.21. If, at the end of the base year relating to a particular payment period or to a particular month preceding 1 July 2016, an eligible individual is not the owner, lessee or sublessee of the individual’s eligible dwelling and one or more particular persons who are the owners of the dwelling at that time are children in respect of whom the individual received, for the last month of the base year, an amount deemed under section 1029.8.61.18 to be an overpayment of the individual’s tax payable and who have not reached 18 years of age in that month, the eligible individual rather than each of the particular persons is, for the purposes of subparagraph b of the second paragraph of section 1029.8.116.16, deemed, at the end of the base year, to be the owner of the dwelling.

2011, c. 1, s. 89; 2015, c. 36, s. 135.

The amount determined under the first paragraph is revised, if applicable, for the payment period or the first six months of the year 2016, to subtract from that amount any amount deemed, because of the application of section 1029.8.116.26.3, not to be an overpayment of the eligible individual’s tax payable and a new notice giving an account of that revision is sent by the Minister to the individual.

2011, c. 1, s. 89; 2015, c. 36, s. 137.

§ 3 . — Payment

2011, c. 1, s. 89.

1029.8.116.26. The Minister shall pay to an eligible individual who is entitled to receive, for a particular payment period, the amount deemed under section 1029.8.116.16 to be an overpayment of the individual’s tax payable, at the beginning of any of the payment months specified in the second paragraph, all or a fraction, as the case may be, of the amount determined in respect of the individual for that period under the first paragraph of section 1029.8.116.25.

The payment of the amount so determined is made as follows:

(a)  if the amount is equal to or greater than $800, one-twelfth of the amount is paid within the first five days of each of the months of the particular payment period;

(b)  if the amount is greater than $240 but less than $800, one-quarter of the amount is paid within the first five days of each of the months of July, October, January and April of that period; or

(c)  in any other case, all of the amount is paid within the first five days of the month of July of that period.

Despite the first paragraph, the Minister is not required to pay to an individual an amount referred to in that paragraph if the individual has not filed a document in which the individual consents to have the payment be made by direct deposit in a bank account held by the individual at a financial institution listed in Part I of Appendix I to Rule D4 – Institution Numbers and Clearing Agency/Representative Arrangements of the Automated Clearing Settlement System Rules Manual, as amended from time to time, of the Canadian Payments Association.

2011, c. 1, s. 89; 2015, c. 36, s. 138; 2017, c. 1, s. 329; 2021, c. 14, s. 160.

1029.8.116.26.1. An eligible individual is not entitled to receive, for a particular payment period or for a particular month preceding 1 July 2016, an amount, in respect of an amount deemed under section 1029.8.116.16 to be an overpayment of the individual’s tax payable from the payment month or the particular month that follows the month of the individual’s death or the month in which the individual ceases to be resident in Québec.

Similarly, an eligible individual is not entitled to receive, for a particular payment period or for a particular month preceding 1 July 2016, an amount, in respect of an amount deemed under section 1029.8.116.16 to be an overpayment of the individual’s tax payable, if the individual is confined to a prison or similar institution immediately before the beginning of the month in which the payment of the amount would otherwise be made.

2015, c. 36, s. 139.

1029.8.116.26.2. The Minister may pay to a person who is the cohabiting spouse of an eligible individual at the end of the base year relating to a particular payment period or relating to a particular month preceding 1 July 2016 an amount that the individual would have been entitled to receive, had it not been for the application of section 1029.8.116.26.1, in respect of an amount that, under section 1029.8.116.16, is deemed for that period or month to be an overpayment of the individual’s tax payable, if the person applies to the Minister to that effect on or before 31 December of the fourth year following that base year and is an eligible individual in respect of that period or month, and if none of the circumstances provided for in section 1029.8.116.26.1 applies to the person.

Despite the first paragraph, the person who is the cohabiting spouse of an eligible individual is not required to make the application referred to in that paragraph, where section 1029.8.116.26.1 applies in respect of the eligible individual because of the eligible individual’s death.

The first paragraph does not apply to an amount that the eligible individual is not entitled to receive because the individual ceased to be resident in Québec.

The third paragraph of sections 1029.8.116.18 and 1029.8.116.26 apply to the first paragraph, with the necessary modifications.

2015, c. 36, s. 139; 2017, c. 1, s. 330; 2021, c. 14, s. 161.

1029.8.116.26.3. Every amount that an eligible individual is no longer entitled to receive for a particular payment period or for a paticular month preceding 1 July 2016 because of the application of section 1029.8.116.26.1, is deemed, despite section 1029.8.116.16, not to be an overpayment of the eligible individual’s tax payable.

However, the first paragraph does not apply in respect of an amount that is paid in accordance with section 1029.8.116.26.2.

2015, c. 36, s. 139.

1029.8.116.27. In exceptional circumstances and if convinced that it is in the family’s interest, the Minister may pay to a person who is the cohabiting spouse of an eligible individual at the end of the base year relating to a particular payment period or to a particular month preceding 1 July 2016 an amount that the individual is entitled to receive in respect of an amount deemed under section 1029.8.116.16 to be an overpayment of the individual’s tax payable, if that person is also an eligible individual in respect of that period or particular month, as the case may be.

2011, c. 1, s. 89; 2015, c. 36, s. 140.

1029.8.116.28. The Minister may require that an individual who, for a particular payment period, applies for, or receives all or part of, the amount deemed under section 1029.8.116.16 to be an overpayment of the individual’s tax payable provide the Minister with documents or information so that the Minister may ascertain whether the individual is entitled to receive that amount.

The Minister may suspend the payment of any amount in respect of the amount referred to in the first paragraph until the Minister has been provided with the required documents or information if the individual fails to provide the required documents or information before the expiry of 45 days after the date of the request.

1029.8.116.29. Where the amount that is determined in respect of an eligible individual for a particular payment period in respect of the amount deemed under section 1029.8.116.16 to be an overpayment of the individual’s tax payable is less than $2, the Minister is not bound to pay that amount or, where the eligible individual’s application for the particular payment period is referred to in the fifth paragraph of section 1029.8.116.18, send a notice of determination in that respect, unless the eligible individual applies to the Minister to have the notice sent.

2011, c. 1, s. 89; 2015, c. 36, s. 140; 2019, c. 14, s. 408.

1029.8.116.29.1. If the Minister has not paid an amount deemed under section 1029.8.116.16 to be an overpayment of the tax payable by an individual because the individual or, if section 1029.8.116.26.2 applies, the person who is the individual’s cohabiting spouse has not consented to have payments be made by direct deposit or has withdrawn such consent and, at a particular time, the individual or the person, as the case may be, files the document to which the third paragraph of section 1029.8.116.26 refers, the Minister shall pay the amount to the individual or the person, as the case may be, within 45 days after that time.

However, such an amount is deemed, despite section 1029.8.116.16, not to be an overpayment of the tax payable by the individual if the individual or, if section 1029.8.116.26.2 applies, the person who is the individual’s cohabiting spouse has not consented or again consented to have payments be made by direct deposit on or before 31 December of the fourth year following the base year relating to the particular payment period to which the amount relates.

§ 4 . — Administrative provisions

2011, c. 1, s. 89.

1029.8.116.30. If an amount is refunded to an individual, or allocated to one of the individual’s liabilities, in respect of an amount that, for a particular payment period, is deemed under section 1029.8.116.16 to be an overpayment of the individual’s tax payable, interest is to be paid to the individual on the amount for the period ending on the day the overpayment is refunded or allocated and beginning on the day that is the latest of

(a)  the sixth day of the payment month to which that amount relates;

(b)  the 46th day following the day on which the application referred to in the first paragraph of section 1029.8.116.16 has been filed with the Minister for the payment period;

(b.1)  in the case provided for in the first paragraph of section 1029.8.116.29.1, the 46th day following the day the individual consented or again consented to have payments be made by direct deposit;

(c)  (subparagraph repealed);

(d)  in the case of an additional amount determined for the payment period following a written application to amend a fiscal return filed under this Part for the base year relating to that period, the 46th day following the day on which the Minister received the application; and

(e)  in the case of an additional amount determined for the payment period following the amendment of a return of income filed under Part I of the Income Tax Act (R.S.C. 1985, c. 1, (5th Suppl.)) for the base year relating to that period or of an income statement filed by means of the prescribed form for that base year, the 46th day following the day on which the amendment has been brought to the attention of the Minister.

Similarly, if an amount is, in accordance with section 1029.8.116.26.2, refunded to a person who is the cohabiting spouse of an eligible individual at the end of the base year relating to a particular payment period or to a particular month preceding 1 July 2016, or allocated to one of the individual’s liabilities, in respect of an amount that, for that payment period or for the particular month, as the case may be, is deemed under section 1029.8.116.16 to be an overpayment of the individual’s tax payable for the taxation year to which it relates, interest is to be paid to the person on the amount for the period ending on the day the overpayment is refunded or allocated and beginning on the day that is the later of

(a)  the sixth day of the payment month, determined in respect of the individual, or of the particular month, to which the amount relates;

(b)  if the amount is an amount that the individual is no longer entitled to receive because of the application of the second paragraph of section 1029.8.116.26.1, the 46th day following the day on which the Minister received, in accordance with the first paragraph of section 1029.8.116.26.2, the person’s application for the payment of the amount;

(b.1)  if the amount is an amount that the individual is no longer entitled to receive because of the application of the first paragraph of section 1029.8.116.26.1 as a consequence of the individual’s death, the 46th day following the day on which the Minister was informed of the death or, if it is earlier, the 46th day following the day on which the Minister received the person’s application under the first paragraph of section 1029.8.116.26.2 for the payment of the amount, even though the person is not required to make such an application;

(c)  in the case provided for in the first paragraph of section 1029.8.116.29.1, the 46th day following the day the person consented or again consented to have payments be made by direct deposit; and

(d)  in the case of an additional amount that would be referred to in subparagraph d or e of the first paragraph but for section 1029.8.116.26.1, the 46th day following the day to which that subparagraph refers in relation to that additional amount.

However, the Minister is not bound to pay the total of the amounts of interest determined, for a particular payment period, under the first paragraph in respect of an individual or under the second paragraph in respect of a person, if the amount is less than $1.

The rule of the third paragraph applies to the total of the amounts of interest determined in respect of a person under the second paragraph for the first six months of the year 2016 and, for that purpose, the aggregate of those months is deemed to be a payment period.

2011, c. 1, s. 89; 2015, c. 36, s. 141; 2017, c. 1, s. 333; 2021, c. 14, s. 162.

1029.8.116.30.1. Despite the first paragraph of section 1029.8.116.30, no interest is payable to an individual on an amount refunded to the individual or allocated to one of the individual’s liabilities, where the amount results from an application referred to in section 1029.8.116.18.1 and relates to the payment period beginning on 1 July 2019.

2021, c. 14, s. 163.

1029.8.116.31. The amount by which the amount that is paid to an individual in respect of the amount that, for a particular payment period, is deemed under section 1029.8.116.16 to be an overpayment of the individual’s tax payable, exceeds the amount that should have been paid to the individual for that period, is deemed to be tax payable by the individual under this Part from the date of determination of that excess amount and bears interest from that date to the day of payment at the rate set under section 28 of the Tax Administration Act (chapter A-6.002).

2011, c. 1, s. 89; 2010, c. 31, s. 175; 2015, c. 36, s. 142.

1029.8.116.32.

However, nothing in this section limits the liability of the individual or of that person under any other provision of this Act.

2011, c. 1, s. 89; 2015, c. 36, s. 143.

1029.8.116.33. The Minister may at any time assess the cohabiting spouse of an individual in respect of an amount payable under section 1029.8.116.32, and this Book applies, with the necessary modifications, to that assessment as if it had been made under Title II.

2011, c. 1, s. 89.

1029.8.116.34. If a person is a debtor under a fiscal law or about to become so, or is in debt to the State under an Act, other than a fiscal law, referred to in a regulation made under the second paragraph of section 31 of the Tax Administration Act (chapter A-6.002), and the person is described in the second paragraph for a payment month (in this section referred to as the “particular month”), the Minister may not, despite that section 31, allocate to the payment of the debt of that person more than 50% of the amount to be paid to the person for the particular month in respect of the amount deemed under section 1029.8.116.16 to be an overpayment of the person’s tax payable.

The person referred to in the first paragraph is

2009, c. 5, s. 480.

1029.8.132. If, for a taxation year, more than one trust may receive an amount on account of an education savings incentive under section 1029.8.128 in respect of the same beneficiary, the aggregate of all amounts that may be so received by the trusts for the year under that section may not exceed the amount (in sections 1029.8.133 and 1029.8.134 referred to as the “maximum amount of the education savings incentive for the year in respect of the beneficiary”) that could have been received for the year under section 1029.8.128 by a single trust if the aggregate of all amounts each of which is the amount of eligible contributions in respect of that beneficiary for the year had been made to a single registered education savings plan having only that beneficiary.

2009, c. 5, s. 480.

1029.8.133. If, for a taxation year, more than one trust files with the Minister an application for the education savings incentive, in the manner described in the education savings incentive agreement, within the time provided for in subparagraph i of subparagraph a of the second paragraph of section 1029.8.128, in respect of the same beneficiary, and the aggregate of all amounts each of which would be, but for section 1029.8.132, an amount that each of the trusts may receive on account of an education savings incentive under section 1029.8.128 in respect of that beneficiary, exceeds the maximum amount of the education savings incentive for the year in respect of the beneficiary, the following rules apply:

(a)  the portion of the maximum amount of the education savings incentive for the year in respect of the beneficiary that is attributable, if applicable, to the increase amount must be apportioned among each of the trusts that is entitled to receive an amount deemed to be an overpayment of its tax payable on account of the increase amount in respect of the beneficiary for the year in the proportion that, for each trust, the amount of eligible contributions, up to $500, made for the year in respect of the beneficiary to the registered education savings plan that governs the trust is of the aggregate of all amounts each of which is the amount of eligible contributions, up to $500, made for the year in respect of the beneficiary to each of the registered education savings plans that governs each of those trusts; and

(b)  the portion of the maximum amount of the education savings incentive for the year in respect of the beneficiary that exceeds the increase amount must be apportioned among each of the trusts in the proportion that, for each trust, the amount of the eligible contributions made for the year in respect of the beneficiary to the registered education savings plan that governs the trust is of the aggregate of all amounts each of which is the amount of eligible contributions made for the year in respect of the beneficiary to each of the registered education savings plans that governs each of those trusts.

(a)  if the trust would be entitled to receive, but for this section, an amount deemed to be an overpayment of its tax payable on account of the increase amount, the amount by which the portion of the maximum amount of the education savings incentive for the year in respect of the beneficiary that is attributable, if applicable, to the increase amount, exceeds any amount that another trust having the same beneficiary has received, for the year and in respect of the beneficiary, and that is deemed to be an overpayment of tax payable on account of the increase amount; and

(b)  the amount by which the portion of the maximum amount of the education savings incentive for the year in respect of the beneficiary that would have been received in respect of the beneficiary by the trust if the increase amount had been nil, exceeds any portion of the maximum amount of the education savings incentive for the year in respect of the beneficiary that would have been received in respect of the beneficiary by any other trust having the same beneficiary if the increase amount had been nil.

2009, c. 5, s. 480.

1029.8.135. If, in a taxation year, a beneficiary under a registered education savings plan (in this section referred to as the “former beneficiary”) is replaced by another beneficiary (in this section referred to as the “new beneficiary”) a contribution made to the plan in the year by or on behalf of a subscriber under the plan for the former beneficiary is considered to have been made for the new beneficiary if the replacement made in the year is a recognized replacement.

For the purposes of the first paragraph, a recognized replacement means the replacement, at a particular time, of a former beneficiary under a registered education savings plan by a new beneficiary, if

(a)  the new beneficiary had not reached 21 years of age before the particular time and was, at that time, the brother or sister of the former beneficiary; or

(b)  both beneficiaries were, at the particular time, connected by blood relationship or adoption to an original subscriber under the plan and neither of them had reached 21 years of age before the particular time.

2009, c. 5, s. 480; 2021, c. 18, s. 135.

1029.8.136. If, in a taxation year, a property held by a trust governed by a registered education savings plan (in this section and section 1029.8.137 referred to as the “transferor plan”) is the subject of an authorized transfer to a trust governed by another registered education savings plan (in this section and section 1029.8.137 referred to as the “transferee plan”), the contributions that were made in the year to the transferor plan before the time of the authorized transfer are deemed to have been made in the year to the transferee plan by or on behalf of the subscriber under the plan in respect of a particular beneficiary, up to

(a)  if the authorized transfer concerned the aggregate of the properties held by the trust governed by the transferor plan and the particular beneficiary is the only beneficiary under the transferee plan at the time of the transfer, the aggregate of the contributions made in the year and before the time of the transfer, in respect of any beneficiary under the transferor plan;

(b)  if the authorized transfer concerned the aggregate of the properties held by the trust governed by the transferor plan and the transferee plan has more than one beneficiary at the time of the transfer, the particular beneficiary’s share, established according to the apportionment provided for in the transferee plan, of the aggregate of the contributions made in the year and before the time of the transfer, in respect of any beneficiary under the transferor plan;

(c)  if the authorized transfer concerned a portion of the properties held by the trust governed by the transferor plan, other than properties included in a CLB account or in any account of assistance paid under a designated provincial program that meets the requirement of section 1029.8.137.1, and if the particular beneficiary is the only beneficiary under the transferee plan at the time of the transfer, the proportion of the aggregate of the contributions made in the year and before the time of the transfer, in respect of any beneficiary under the transferor plan, that, at the time of the transfer, the value of the properties transferred is of the value of all the properties held by the trust governed by the transferor plan, other than those included in a CLB account or in any account of assistance paid under a designated provincial program that meets the requirement of section 1029.8.137.1; and

For the purposes of the first paragraph, an authorized transfer means the transfer of properties held by a trust governed by a transferor plan to a trust governed by a transferee plan, if

(a)  a beneficiary under the transferee plan

i.  was, immediately before the transfer, a beneficiary under the transferor plan, or

ii.  was, immediately before the transfer, the brother or sister of a beneficiary under the transferor plan and

(1)  the transferee plan is a plan that allows more than one beneficiary at any one time, or

For the purposes of the first paragraph, the contributions made in a year to the transferor plan do not include the contributions that have been withdrawn from the plan in the year.

2011, c. 1, s. 93.

1029.8.137.

The amount to which the first paragraph refers is equal to

(a)  if the authorized transfer is described in subparagraph a or b of the first paragraph of section 1029.8.136, the aggregate of the amounts held, at the time of the authorized transfer, in the trust governed by the transferor plan on account of the education savings incentive; and

1029.9.3.1. The amount to which the first paragraph of section 1029.9.2.1 refers in respect of a partnership for a fiscal period is equal to 2% of the aggregate of

(a)  the partnership’s gross revenue for the fiscal period from its business of providing transportation by taxi; and

(b)  the partnership’s gross revenue for the fiscal period from the leasing of any motor vehicle attached to a taxi owner’s permit of which the partnership is the holder.

2019, c. 14, s. 422.

1029.9.3.2. For the purposes of section 1029.9.2.1, the following rules must be taken into consideration in respect of a taxpayer if, for a given fiscal period of a given partnership, one or more partnerships (each of which is in this section referred to as an “interposed partnership”) are interposed between the taxpayer and the given partnership:

(a)  the taxpayer is deemed to be a member of a particular partnership at the end of a particular fiscal period of the particular partnership and that particular fiscal period is deemed to end in the taxpayer’s taxation year in which ends the fiscal period of the interposed partnership of which the taxpayer is directly a member, if

i.  the particular fiscal period is that which ends in the fiscal period (in this section referred to as the “interposed fiscal period”) of the interposed partnership that is a member of the particular partnership at the end of that particular fiscal period, and

ii.  the taxpayer is a member, or deemed to be a member under this paragraph, of the interposed partnership described in subparagraph i at the end of the interposed partnership’s interposed fiscal period; and

(b)  for the purpose of determining the taxpayer’s share in an amount in respect of the given partnership for the given fiscal period, the agreed proportion in respect of the taxpayer for that fiscal period of the given partnership is deemed to be equal to the product obtained by multiplying the agreed proportion in respect of the taxpayer for the interposed fiscal period of the interposed partnership of which the taxpayer is directly a member, by

i.  if there is only one interposed partnership, the agreed proportion in respect of the interposed partnership for the given partnership’s given fiscal period, or

ii.  if there is more than one interposed partnership, the result obtained by multiplying together all proportions each of which is the agreed proportion in respect of an interposed partnership for the particular fiscal period of the particular partnership referred to in paragraph a of which the interposed partnership is a member at the end of that particular fiscal period.

2019, c. 14, s. 422.

1029.9.3.3. Section 1029.9.3.2 does not apply in respect of a taxpayer, in relation to a given partnership, if the Minister is of the opinion that the interposition, between the taxpayer and the given partnership, of one or more other partnerships is part of an operation or transaction or of a series of operations or transactions, one of the purposes of which is to cause the taxpayer to be deemed to have paid to the Minister for a taxation year, under section 1029.9.2.1, an amount greater than the amount that would have been so deemed to have been paid to the Minister for that taxation year, but for that interposition.

2019, c. 14, s. 422.

1029.9.4. For the purposes of this Part and the regulations, the amount that a taxpayer is deemed to have paid to the Minister for a taxation year under any of sections 1029.9.1 to 1029.9.2.1 is deemed not to be an amount of assistance or an inducement received by the taxpayer from a government.

1031.1.

The first instalment shall be paid on or before the day on which payment of the tax would, but for the election, have been required to be made and each subsequent instalment shall be paid on or before the anniversary of that day.

(a)  the tax payable under this Part by the member institution for a taxation year to the extent that the amount of that tax exceeds the amount of tax that would be payable if no amount that the member institution is obliged to repay to the corporation were included, under subparagraph a or b of the first paragraph of section 814, in computing the member institution’s income for the year; and

(b)  interest payable under this Part by the member institution on the amount determined under paragraph a.

The day contemplated in the first paragraph is the earlier of the day on which the obligation referred to in paragraph a of the first paragraph to repay the amount to the corporation is settled or extinguished and the day that is ten years after the end of the year contemplated in such paragraph a .

CHAPTER IV.1 SECURITY FOR DEPARTURE FROM CANADA

2004, c. 8, s. 180.

1033.2. Where, at any particular time in a taxation year (in this section and sections 1033.3 and 1033.4 referred to as the “emigration year”), an individual is deemed by section 785.2 to have disposed of property, other than a right to a benefit under, or an interest in a trust governed by, an employee benefit plan, and the individual elects, in the prescribed form containing prescribed information, on or before the individual’s balance-due day for the emigration year, that this section and sections 1033.3 to 1033.6 apply to the emigration year, the following rules apply:

(a)  the Minister shall, until the individual’s balance-due day for a particular taxation year that begins after the particular time, accept security satisfactory to the Minister and furnished by or on behalf of the individual on or before the individual’s balance-due day for the emigration year for the lesser of

i.  the amount determined by the formula

A − B − {[(A − B) / A] × C}, and

ii.  if the particular year is the year that follows the emigration year, the amount determined under subparagraph i, and in any other case, the amount determined under this subparagraph in respect of the individual for the taxation year that precedes the particular year; and

(b)  except for the purposes of the first, second and third paragraphs of section 1038, the following interest and penalties shall be computed as if the particular amount for which security satisfactory to the Minister has been accepted under this section were an amount paid by the individual on account of the particular amount:

i.  interest payable under this Part for any period that ends on the individual’s balance-due day for the particular year and throughout which security is accepted by the Minister, and

ii.  penalties payable under this Part computed with reference to an individual’s tax payable for the year that was, without reference to this subparagraph, unpaid.

In the formula provided for in subparagraph i of subparagraph a of the first paragraph,

(a)  A is the amount of tax that would be payable by the individual under this Part for the emigration year if the exclusion from income or deduction of an amount referred to in the first paragraph of section 1044 were not taken into account;

(b)  B is the amount of tax that would have been so payable by the individual under this Part if each property, other than a right to a benefit under, or an interest in a trust governed by, an employee benefit plan, deemed by section 785.2 to have been disposed of at the particular time, and that has not been subsequently disposed of before the beginning of the particular year, were not deemed by that section to have been disposed of by the individual at the particular time; and

(c)  C is the aggregate of all amounts deemed under this or any other Act to have been paid on account of the individual’s tax payable under this Part for the emigration year.

2004, c. 8, s. 180; 2015, c. 36, s. 149.

1033.3. For the purposes of section 1033.2, this section and sections 1033.4 to 1033.6, where an individual, other than a trust, elects under section 1033.2 that that section apply in respect of a taxation year, the Minister is deemed to have accepted at any time after the election was made security satisfactory to the Minister for a total amount of tax payable under this Part by the individual for the emigration year equal to the lesser of

(a)  the amount of tax that would be payable for the year by a trust to which section 768 applies that is resident in Québec on the last day of the year and whose taxable income for the year is $50,000; and

(b)  the greatest amount for which the Minister is required to accept security furnished by or on behalf of the individual under section 1033.2 at the particular time in respect of the emigration year.

The security referred to in the first paragraph is deemed to have been furnished by the individual before the individual’s balance-due day for the emigration year.

2004, c. 8, s. 180; 2012, c. 8, s. 240; 2013, c. 10, s. 142; 2017, c. 1, s. 337.

1033.4. Notwithstanding sections 1033.2 and 1033.3, the Minister is deemed at any time not to have accepted security under section 1033.2 in respect of an individual’s emigration year for any amount greater than the amount by which the particular tax that would be payable by the individual under this Part for the year if the exclusion from income or deduction of an amount referred to in the first paragraph of section 1044, in respect of which the date determined in accordance with the second paragraph of that section is after that time, were not taken into account, exceeds the amount determined under the second paragraph.

The amount to which the first paragraph refers is equal to the particular tax that would be determined under that paragraph if this Act were read without reference to section 785.2.

2004, c. 8, s. 180.

1033.5. Subject to section 1033.11, if it is determined at any particular time that security accepted by the Minister under section 1033.2 is not adequate to secure the particular amount for which it was furnished by or on behalf of an individual, the following rules apply:

(a)  subject to a subsequent application of this section, the security shall be considered after the particular time to secure only the amount for which it is security considered satisfactory at the particular time;

(b)  the Minister shall notify the individual in writing of the determination and shall accept security satisfactory to the Minister, for all or any part of the particular amount, furnished by or on behalf of the individual within 90 days after the day of notification; and

(c)  any security accepted in accordance with paragraph b is deemed to have been accepted by the Minister under section 1033.2 on account of the particular amount at the particular time.

2004, c. 8, s. 180.

1033.6. If in the opinion of the Minister it would be just and equitable to do so, the Minister may at any time extend

(a)  the time for making an election under section 1033.2;

(b)  the time for furnishing and accepting security under section 1033.2; or

(c)  the 90-day period for the acceptance of security under paragraph b of section 1033.5.

2004, c. 8, s. 180.

1033.7. The rules in the second paragraph apply where

(a)  solely because of the application of section 692, subparagraphs a to c of the first paragraph of section 688 do not apply to a distribution by a trust in a particular taxation year, in this section and section 1033.8 referred to as the “distribution year”, of taxable Canadian property; and

(b)  the trust elects, in prescribed manner on or before the trust’s balance-due day for the distribution year, that this section and sections 1033.8 to 1033.10 apply in respect of the distribution year.

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

(a)  the Minister shall, until the trust’s balance-due day for a subsequent taxation year, accept security satisfactory to the Minister and furnished by or on behalf of the trust on or before the trust’s balance-due day for the distribution year for the lesser of

i.  the amount determined by the formula

A − B − {[(A − B) / A] × C}, and

ii.  if the subsequent year is the year that follows the distribution year, the amount determined under subparagraph i, and in any other case, the amount determined under this subparagraph in respect of the trust for the taxation year that precedes the subsequent year; and

(b)  except for the purposes of the first, second and third paragraphs of section 1038, the following interest and penalties shall be computed as if the particular amount for which security satisfactory to the Minister has been accepted under this section were an amount paid by the trust on account of the particular amount:

i.  interest payable under this Part for any period that ends on the trust’s balance-due day for the subsequent year and throughout which security is accepted by the Minister, and

ii.  penalties payable under this Part computed with reference to the trust’s tax payable for the year that was, without reference to this subparagraph, unpaid.

In the formula provided for in subparagraph i of subparagraph a of the second paragraph,

(a)  A is the amount of tax that would be payable by the trust under this Part for the distribution year if the exclusion from income or deduction of an amount referred to in the first paragraph of section 1044 were not taken into account;

(b)  B is the amount of tax that would be so payable by the individual under this Part if the rules in section 688, other than the election referred to in that section, had applied to each distribution by the trust in the distribution year of property, other than property subsequently disposed of before the beginning of the subsequent year, to which subparagraph a of the first paragraph applies; and

(c)  C is the aggregate of all amounts deemed under this or any other Act to have been paid on account of the trust’s tax payable under this Part for the distribution year.

2004, c. 8, s. 180.

1033.8. Notwithstanding section 1033.7, the Minister is deemed at any time not to have accepted security under that section in respect of a trust’s distribution year for any amount greater than the amount by which the particular tax that would be payable by the trust under this Part for the year if the exclusion from income or deduction of an amount referred to in the first paragraph of section 1044 in respect of which the date determined in accordance with the second paragraph of that section is after that time, were not taken into account, exceeds the amount determined under the second paragraph.

The amount to which the first paragraph refers is equal to the particular tax that would be determined under that paragraph if subparagraphs a to c of the first paragraph of section 688 had applied to each distribution by the trust in the year of property to which subparagraph a of the first paragraph of section 1033.7 applies.

2004, c. 8, s. 180.

1033.9. Subject to section 1033.11, if it is determined at any particular time that security accepted by the Minister under section 1033.7 is not adequate to secure the particular amount for which it was furnished by or on behalf of a trust, the following rules apply:

(a)  subject to a subsequent application of this section, the security shall be considered after the particular time to secure only the amount for which it is security considered satisfactory at the particular time;

(b)  the Minister shall notify the trust in writing of the determination and shall accept security satisfactory to the Minister, for all or any part of the particular amount, furnished by or on behalf of the trust within 90 days after the notification; and

(c)  any security accepted in accordance with paragraph b is deemed to have been accepted by the Minister under section 1033.7 on account of the particular amount at the particular time.

2004, c. 8, s. 180.

1033.10. If in the opinion of the Minister it would be just and equitable to do so, the Minister may at any time extend

(a)  the time for making an election under section 1033.7;

(b)  the time for furnishing and accepting security under section 1033.7; or

(c)  the 90-day period for the acceptance of security under paragraph b of section 1033.9.

2004, c. 8, s. 180.

1033.11. The Minister may, in respect of an election made by an individual under section 1033.2 or 1033.7, accept for any particular period of time security different from, or of lesser value than, that which the Minister would otherwise accept under that section, if, in respect of that period, the Minister determines that the individual cannot, without undue hardship, pay or reasonably arrange to have paid on the individual’s behalf, an amount of tax to which security under that section would relate, and cannot, without undue hardship, furnish or reasonably arrange to have furnished on the individual’s behalf, adequate security under that section.

2004, c. 8, s. 180.

1033.12. In making a determination under section 1033.11, the Minister shall ignore any transaction that is a disposition, lease, encumbrance, hypothec, mortgage or other voluntary restriction by a person or partnership of the person’s or partnership’s rights in respect of a property, if the transaction can reasonably be considered to have been entered into for the purpose of influencing the determination.

2004, c. 8, s. 180; 2005, c. 1, s. 270.

1033.13. The prescription provided for in the first paragraph of section 27.3 of the Tax Administration Act (chapter A-6.002) is suspended for the time during which a security is accepted or is deemed to be accepted by the Minister under this chapter.

2019, c. 14, s. 424.

1033.17. Where, at a particular time in a taxation year (in this section and section 1033.20 referred to as the “year of disposition”), an individual is deemed under section 436 to have disposed of an eligible share of a particular class of the capital stock of a corporation and the individual’s legal representative elects, in the prescribed form containing prescribed information, on or before the individual’s balance-due day for the year of disposition, to have this chapter apply to the year of disposition, the following rules apply:

(a)  the Minister shall, until the balance-due day of a particular person who is either the individual’s succession or a beneficiary of the succession referred to in the fourth paragraph for a particular taxation year that begins after the particular time, accept security satisfactory to the Minister and furnished by the individual’s legal representative on or before the individual’s balance-due day for the year of disposition for the lesser of

120% {A – B – [(A − B)/A × C]} × D, and

ii.  if the particular year is the year that follows the year of disposition, the amount determined under subparagraph i and, in any other case, the amount determined under this subparagraph a in respect of the particular person for the taxation year that precedes the particular year; and

(b)  except for the purposes of the first, second and third paragraphs of section 1038, the following interest and penalties shall be computed as if the particular amount for which security satisfactory to the Minister has been accepted under this section were, on the one hand, equal to the amount that would be determined in accordance with subparagraph a if the formula in subparagraph i of that subparagraph were read as if “120%” were replaced by “100%” and, on the other hand, an amount paid by the individual or the particular person, as the case may be, on account of the particular amount:

i.  interest payable under this Part for any period that begins on the individual’s balance-due day for the year of disposition and ends on the particular person’s balance-due day for the particular year and throughout which security is accepted by the Minister, and

(c)  C is the aggregate of all amounts deemed under this or any other Act to have been paid on account of the individual’s tax payable under this Part for the year of disposition; and

(d)  D is

i.  where the share that is deemed under section 436 to have been disposed of at the particular time is an eligible share of a private corporation described in paragraph b of the definition of “eligible share” in the first paragraph of section 1033.14, the proportion, expressed as a percentage, that the fair market value of the assets of the private corporation that is attributable to a large block of shares or a portion of a large block of shares of the capital stock of a qualified public corporation is, at the particular time, of the fair market value of the assets of the private corporation, or

ii.  in any other case, 100%.

The conditions to which subparagraph b of the second paragraph refers in respect of a share are as follows:

(a)  it is subsequently disposed of before the beginning of the particular year;

(b)  it ceases, throughout a one-month period ending in the particular year, to be an eligible share of the particular person; and

(c)  the twentieth anniversary of its deemed disposition occurs in the particular year.

Where an eligible share of the capital stock of a corporation owned by the individual at the particular time is transferred as a consequence of a distribution by the individual’s succession to a beneficiary of the succession, where, immediately after the transfer, the share is an eligible share and where an agreement effecting novation is entered into between the Minister and the beneficiary under which the indebtedness represented by tax attributable to the deemed disposition of the share becomes the debt of the beneficiary, this chapter applies, with the necessary modifications, from the transfer, in respect of satisfactory security furnished by the beneficiary and accepted by the Minister, as if the beneficiary were the same person as and a continuation of the individual’s succession.

Where the proportion described in subparagraph i of subparagraph d of the second paragraph is greater than 95%, it is deemed to be equal to 100%.

2019, c. 14, s. 424; 2021, c. 14, s. 167.

1033.18. Where, at a particular time in a taxation year (in this section and section 1033.20 referred to as the “year of disposition”), a trust is deemed under section 653 to have disposed of an eligible share of a particular class of the capital stock of a corporation and it elects, in the prescribed form containing prescribed information, on or before its balance-due day for the year of disposition, to have this chapter apply to the year of disposition, the following rules apply:

(a)  the Minister shall, until the balance-due day of a particular person that is either the trust or a beneficiary referred to in the fourth paragraph for a particular taxation year that begins after the particular time, accept security satisfactory to the Minister and furnished by or on behalf of the trust on or before the trust’s balance-due day for the year of disposition for the lesser of

i.  the amount determined by the formula

120% {A – B – [(A − B)/A × C]} × D, and

ii.  if the particular year is the year that follows the year of disposition, the amount determined under subparagraph i and, in any other case, the amount determined under this subparagraph a in respect of the particular person for the taxation year that precedes the particular year; and

(b)  except for the purposes of the first, second and third paragraphs of section 1038, the following interest and penalties shall be computed as if the particular amount for which security satisfactory to the Minister has been accepted under this section were, on the one hand, equal to the amount that would be determined in accordance with subparagraph a if the formula in subparagraph i of that subparagraph were read as if “120%” were replaced by “100%” and, on the other hand, an amount paid by the particular person on account of the particular amount:

i.  interest payable under this Part for any period that ends on the particular person’s balance-due day for the particular year and throughout which security is accepted by the Minister, and

ii.  penalties payable under this Part computed with reference to the particular person’s tax payable for the year that was, without reference to this subparagraph b, unpaid.

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

(a)  A is the amount of tax that would be payable by the trust under this Part for the year of disposition if the exclusion from income or deduction of an amount referred to in the first paragraph of section 1044 were not taken into account;

(b)  B is the amount of tax that would have been so payable by the trust under this Part if all the shares, each of which is an eligible share of the particular class deemed under section 653 to have been disposed of at the particular time, other than a share in respect of which one of the conditions in the third paragraph is met, were not deemed under that section to have been disposed of by the trust at the particular time;

(c)  C is the aggregate of all amounts deemed under this or any other Act to have been paid on account of the trust’s tax payable under this Part for the year of disposition; and

(d)  D is

i.  where the share that is deemed under section 653 to have been disposed of at the particular time is an eligible share of a private corporation described in paragraph b of the definition of “eligible share” in the first paragraph of section 1033.14, the proportion, expressed as a percentage, that the fair market value of the assets of the private corporation that is attributable to a large block of shares or a portion of a large block of shares of the capital stock of a qualified public corporation is, at the particular time, of the fair market value of the assets of the private corporation, or

ii.  in any other case, 100%.

The conditions to which subparagraph b of the second paragraph refers in respect of a share are as follows:

(a)  it is subsequently disposed of before the beginning of the particular year;

(b)  it ceases, throughout a one-month period ending in the particular year, to be an eligible share of the particular person; and

(c)  the twentieth anniversary of its deemed disposition occurs in the particular year.

Where an eligible share of the capital stock of a corporation owned by a trust at the particular time is transferred as a consequence of a distribution by the trust to a beneficiary of the trust, where, immediately after the transfer, the share is an eligible share and where an agreement effecting novation is entered into between the Minister and the beneficiary under which the indebtedness represented by tax attributable to the deemed disposition of the share becomes the debt of the beneficiary, this chapter applies, with the necessary modifications, from the transfer, in respect of satisfactory security furnished by the beneficiary and accepted by the Minister, as if the beneficiary were the same person as and a continuation of the trust.

Where the proportion described in subparagraph i of subparagraph d of the second paragraph is greater than 95%, it is deemed to be equal to 100%.

2019, c. 14, s. 424; 2021, c. 14, s. 168.

1033.19. For the purposes of subparagraph b of the third paragraph of sections 1033.17 and 1033.18, a month means a period that begins on a particular day in a calendar month and that ends

(a)  on the day immediately before the day in the following calendar month that has the same calendar number as the particular day, or

(b)  where the following calendar month does not have a day that has the same calendar number as the particular day, on the last day of the following month.

2019, c. 14, s. 424.

1033.20. Despite sections 1033.17 and 1033.18, the Minister is deemed at any time not to have accepted security under either of those sections in respect of the year of disposition of eligible shares of a particular class of the capital stock of a corporation owned by an individual or a trust for an amount greater than 120% of the amount by which the particular tax that would be payable by the individual or trust, as the case may be, under this Part for the year if the exclusion from income or deduction of an amount referred to in the first paragraph of section 1044 in respect of which the date determined in accordance with the second paragraph of that section is after that time, were not taken into account, exceeds the amount determined under the second paragraph.

The amount to which the first paragraph refers is equal to the particular tax that would be determined under that paragraph if the eligible shares referred to in the first paragraph were not deemed under section 436 or 653 to have been disposed of.

2019, c. 14, s. 424.

1033.21. Subject to section 1033.25, if it is determined at a particular time that security accepted by the Minister under section 1033.17 or 1033.18 is not adequate to secure the particular amount for which it was furnished by or on behalf of the individual’s legal representative or the trust, as the case may be, the following rules apply:

(a)  subject to a subsequent application of this section, the security shall be considered after the particular time to secure only the amount for which it is security considered satisfactory at the particular time;

(b)  the Minister shall notify in writing the legal representative or trust, or the person referred to in the fourth paragraph of section 1033.17 or 1033.18, of the determination and shall accept security satisfactory to the Minister, for all or any part of the particular amount, furnished by the person concerned or on that person’s behalf within 90 days after the notification;

(c)  any security accepted in accordance with subparagraph b is deemed to have been accepted by the Minister under section 1033.17 or 1033.18, as the case may be, on account of the particular amount at the particular time; and

(d)  if the person concerned fails to furnish, within the time prescribed in subparagraph b, security satisfactory to the Minister to secure the particular amount in its entirety, the portion of subparagraph b of the first paragraph of section 1033.17 or 1033.18 before subparagraph i is to be read, after the particular time and subject to a subsequent application of this section, as if “100%” were replaced by the percentage determined by the formula

100 % − [(120 % − A) / 120 %].

In the formula in subparagraph d of the first paragraph, A is the proportion, expressed as a percentage, that the value of the security at the particular time, determined in accordance with the first paragraph, is of the amount that would be determined by the formula in subparagraph i of subparagraph a of the first paragraph of section 1033.17 or 1033.18, as the case may be, if it were read without “120%”.

2019, c. 14, s. 424.

1033.22. If in the opinion of the Minister it would be just and equitable to do so, the Minister may at any time extend

(a)  the time for making an election under section 1033.17 or 1033.18;

(b)  the time for furnishing and accepting security, provided for in section 1033.17 or 1033.18; or

(c)  the 90-day period for the acceptance of security, provided for in subparagraph b of the first paragraph of section 1033.21.

2019, c. 14, s. 424.

DIVISION III METHOD FOR CALCULATING SECURITY ON THE TWENTIETH ANNIVERSARY OF THE DEEMED DISPOSITION

2019, c. 14, s. 424.

1033.23. Despite sections 1033.17 and 1033.18, where the twentieth anniversary of the deemed disposition, because of section 436 or 653, of an eligible share of the capital stock of a corporation occurs in a particular taxation year of an individual and the fair market value of that eligible share on the twentieth anniversary of the deemed disposition is less than its fair market value at the time of the deemed disposition, section 1033.17 or 1033.18, as the case may be, is to be read, if the Minister is of the opinion that the reduction in value is not attributable to a distribution in any manner whatsoever, in relation to that eligible share and in respect of the individual’s particular taxation year and a subsequent taxation year in respect of which section 1033.24 does not apply,

(a)  as if the formula in subparagraph i of subparagraph a of the first paragraph were replaced by the formula

120% {A – B – [(A − B)/A × C]} × D × (1 – E);

(b)  (subparagraph repealed);

(c)  as if the following subparagraph were added at the end of the second paragraph:

“(e) E is the proportion, expressed as a percentage, that the fair market value of the eligible share on the twenty-second anniversary of the deemed disposition is of its fair market value at the time of the deemed disposition.”; and

(d)  as if subparagraph c of the third paragraph were struck out.

2019, c. 14, s. 424; 2021, c. 14, s. 169.

1033.24. Where section 1033.23 applied in respect of an eligible share of the capital stock of a corporation and the fair market value of that eligible share on the twenty-second anniversary of the deemed disposition is greater than its fair market value on the twentieth anniversary of the deemed disposition, section 1033.17 or 1033.18, as the case may be, is to be read, in relation to that eligible share and in respect of the individual’s particular taxation year that includes the twenty-second anniversary and the individual’s following taxation year,

(a)  as if the formula in subparagraph i of subparagraph a of the first paragraph were replaced by the formula

120% {A – B – [(A − B)/A × C]} × D × (1 – E);

(b)  (subparagraph repealed);

(c)  as if the following subparagraph were added at the end of the second paragraph:

“(e) E is the proportion, expressed as a percentage, that the fair market value of the eligible share on the twenty-second anniversary of the deemed disposition is of its fair market value at the time of the deemed disposition.”; and

(d)  as if subparagraph c of the third paragraph were struck out.

The first paragraph applies at successive two-year intervals following the twenty-second anniversary referred to in that paragraph, with the necessary modifications. However, if the fair market value of the eligible share on that subsequent anniversary is greater than its fair market value on the last anniversary in respect of which the first paragraph applied, subparagraph e of the second paragraph of section 1033.17 or 1033.18, as the case may be, enacted by subparagraph c of the first paragraph, is to be read as follows:

“(e) E is the proportion, expressed as a percentage, that the fair market value of the eligible share on the subsequent anniversary to which the second paragraph of section 1033.24 refers is of the fair market value of the eligible share at the time of the deemed disposition.”

2019, c. 14, s. 424; 2021, c. 14, s. 170.

DIVISION IV MISCELLANEOUS PROVISIONS

2019, c. 14, s. 424.

1033.25. The Minister may, in respect of an election made by an individual’s legal representative or a trust under section 1033.17 or 1033.18, as the case may be, accept for a particular period of time security different from, or of lesser value than, that which the Minister would otherwise accept under that section if, in respect of that period, the Minister determines that the individual’s succession or the trust cannot, without undue hardship, pay or reasonably arrange to have paid on its behalf an amount of tax to which security furnished under that section would relate and cannot, without undue hardship, furnish or reasonably arrange to have furnished on its behalf adequate security under that section.

2019, c. 14, s. 424.

1033.26. In making a determination under section 1033.25, the Minister shall ignore any transaction that is a disposition, lease, encumbrance, hypothec, mortgage or other voluntary restriction by a person or partnership of the person’s or partnership’s rights in respect of a property, if the transaction can reasonably be considered to have been entered into for the purpose of influencing the determination.

2019, c. 14, s. 424.

1033.27. The prescription provided for in the first paragraph of section 27.3 of the Tax Administration Act (chapter A-6.002) is suspended for the period during which a security is accepted or is deemed to be accepted by the Minister under this chapter.

2019, c. 14, s. 424.

CHAPTER V SOLIDARY LIABILITY TO PAY TAX

1972, c. 23; 1980, c. 13, s. 104.

1034. Where a person transfers property, directly or indirectly, by means of a trust or by any means whatever to a person with whom he is not dealing at arm’s length, a person who is under 18 years of age, or his spouse or a person who, after the transfer, becomes his spouse, the transferee and transferor are solidarily liable to pay a part of the transferor’s tax for each taxation year equal to the amount by which the tax for the year is greater than it would have been if it were not for the operation of sections 456 to 458, 462.1 to 463 and 464 to 467.1, in respect of any income from, or gain from the disposition of, the property so transferred or property substituted therefor.

1972, c. 23, s. 759; 1984, c. 15, s. 234; 1987, c. 67, s. 186; 1989, c. 77, s. 102; 1995, c. 1, s. 168.

1034.0.0.1. Where a particular person or partnership is deemed under section 427.4 to have disposed of a property at any time, the person referred to in subparagraph i or ii of paragraph a of that section is solidarily liable with each other taxpayer to pay a part of the other taxpayer’s liabilities under this Part for each taxation year equal to the amount determined by the formula

A − B.

In the formula provided for in the first paragraph,

(a)  A is the total of amounts payable under this Part by the other taxpayer for the year; and

(b)  B is the amount that would, if the particular person or partnership were not deemed under section 427.4 to have disposed of the property, be determined under subparagraph a in respect of the other taxpayer for the year.

However, nothing under this section is deemed to limit the liability of the other taxpayer under any other provision of this Act.

2000, c. 5, s. 272.

1034.0.0.2. Where an amount is required to be added under section 766.3.4 in computing a specified individual’s tax otherwise payable under this Part for a taxation year and the specified individual has not attained the age of 24 years before the year, the following rules apply:

(a)  subject to subparagraph b, any of the following persons is solidarily liable with the specified individual to pay that amount:

i.  if the specified individual has not attained the age of 17 years before the year, the father or mother of the specified individual, and

ii.  if the specified individual has attained the age of 17 years before the year, the source individual in respect of the specified individual where

(1)  the amount was derived directly or indirectly from a related business in respect of the specified individual, with reference to paragraph d of section 766.3.3.1, and

(2)  the source individual meets the conditions set out in any of paragraphs a to c of the definition of “related business” in the first paragraph of section 766.3.3 in respect of the related business; and

(b)  the liability of any of the persons referred to in subparagraph a in respect of the specified individual for the year is to be determined as though the only amounts included in the specified individual’s split income for the year are amounts derived from the related business referred to in subparagraph ii of subparagraph a.

However, nothing in this section limits the liability of the specified individual under any other provision of this Act or the liability of any of the persons referred to in subparagraph a of the first paragraph for the interest that the person is liable to pay under this Act on an assessment in respect of an amount that the person is liable to pay because of this section.

2001, c. 53, s. 229; 2015, c. 21, s. 493; 2020, c. 16, s. 162.

1034.0.0.3. If a transferor and a transferee, within the meaning assigned to those expressions by the first paragraph of section 336.8, make a joint election under Chapter II.1 of Title VI of Book III in respect of a split-retirement income amount for a taxation year, determined in their respect for the purposes of that chapter, they are solidarily liable for the tax payable by the transferee under this Part for the year to the extent that that tax payable is greater than it would have been if no amount had been added because of the first paragraph of section 313.11 in computing the income of the transferee under this Part for the year.

2009, c. 5, s. 483.

1034.0.0.4. If section 663.0.1 deems an amount to have become payable in a taxation year of a trust to an individual, the individual and the trust are solidarily liable for the tax payable by the individual under this Part for the individual’s taxation year in which the individual dies to the extent that that tax payable is greater than it would have been if the amount were not included in computing the individual’s income under this Part for the year.

2017, c. 1, s. 338.

1034.0.1. Notwithstanding section 1034, the rules mentioned in section 1034.0.2 apply where a taxpayer transfers property to his spouse under a decree, order or judgment of a competent tribunal or under a written separation agreement and where, at the time of the transfer, the taxpayer and his spouse are living apart because of the breakdown of their marriage.

However, nothing in section 1034.0.2 or in this section shall operate to reduce the taxpayer’s liability under any other provision of this Act.

1986, c. 15, s. 181; 1995, c. 1, s. 169; 1995, c. 49, s. 236.

1034.0.2. The rules contemplated in section 1034.0.1 are the following:

(a)  where the property is transferred after 15 February 1984, the transferee shall not be liable to pay under section 1034 any amount in respect of any income from, or gain from the disposition of, the property so transferred or property substituted therefor;

(b)  where the property is transferred before 16 February 1984, and where the transferee would, but for this paragraph, be liable to pay an amount under this Act by virtue of section 1034, the transferee’s liability in respect of that amount shall be deemed to have been discharged on 16 February 1984.

1986, c. 15, s. 181; 1989, c. 77, s. 103.

1034.1. (1)  Where an amount is received out of or under a registered retirement savings plan by an individual other than an annuitant within the meaning of paragraph b of section 905.1 under the plan, and that amount or part thereof would, but for subparagraph i of paragraph a of that section, be received by the individual as a benefit within the meaning of the said paragraph a, the individual and the last annuitant under the plan are solidarily liable to pay a part of the annuitant’s tax under this Part for the year of his death equal to that proportion of the amount by which that tax exceeds the tax that would have been computed but for section 915.2 that the aggregate of all amounts received from the plan by the individual and that would, but for the said subparagraph i, be a benefit, within the meaning of the said paragraph a, received by the taxpayer, is of the amount included under section 915.2 in computing the income of the annuitant.

(2)  Where an amount is received out of or under a registered retirement income fund by an individual, other than an annuitant under the fund, and that amount or part thereof would, but for subparagraph a of the first paragraph of section 961.17, be included in computing the individual’s income for the year of receipt pursuant to the first paragraph of the said section, the individual and the annuitant under the fund are solidarily liable to pay a part of the annuitant’s tax under this Part for the year of his death equal to that proportion of the amount by which that tax exceeds the tax that would have been computed but for section 961.17.1 that the aggregate of all amounts each of which is an amount received from the fund by the individual and that would, but for subparagraph a of the first paragraph of section 961.17, be included in computing the individual’s income for the year of receipt pursuant to the first paragraph of the said section is of the amount included pursuant to section 961.17.1 in computing the annuitant’s income.

(2.0.1)  If a taxpayer is deemed under section 467.2 to have received at any time an amount out of or under an annuity that is a qualifying trust annuity with respect to the taxpayer, the taxpayer, the annuitant under the annuity and the policyholder are solidarily liable to pay the part of the taxpayer’s tax under this Part for the taxation year of the taxpayer that includes that time that is equal to the amount by which that tax exceeds the tax that would have been computed in respect of the taxpayer for the year if no amount were deemed under section 467.2 to have been received by the taxpayer out of or under the annuity in the year.

(2.0.2)  Where an amount required to be included in the income of the holder of a first home savings account by virtue of Title IV.4 of Book VII is received by a taxpayer other than the holder, the taxpayer is solidarily liable with the holder to pay a part of the holder’s tax under this Part for the taxation year in which the amount is received equal to the amount by which that tax exceeds the amount that would be the holder’s tax for the year if the amount had not been received.

(2.1)  Where an amount required to be included in the income of a taxpayer by virtue of paragraph a of section 890.9 is received by a person with whom the taxpayer is not dealing at arm’s length, that person is solidarily liable with the taxpayer to pay a part of the taxpayer’s tax under this Part for the taxation year in which the amount is received equal to the amount by which the taxpayer’s tax for the year exceeds the amount that would be his tax for the year if the amount had not been received.

(3)  However, this section does not free the annuitant under the plan or fund, the taxpayer or the holder, as the case may be, from liabilities under any other provision of this Act.

1980, c. 13, s. 105; 1988, c. 18, s. 115; 1989, c. 77, s. 104; 1991, c. 25, s. 168; 1995, c. 1, s. 199; 2009, c. 15, s. 353; 2020, c. 16, s. 163; 2023, c. 19, s. 120.

1034.2. Where property is transferred at any time by a corporation to a taxpayer with whom the corporation does not deal at arm’s length at that time and the corporation is not entitled because of section 346.3 to deduct an amount under section 346.2 in computing its income for a taxation year because of the transfer or because of the transfer and one or more other transactions, the taxpayer is solidarily liable with the corporation to pay an amount of the corporation’s tax under this Part for the year equal to the amount by which the fair market value of the property at that time exceeds the fair market value at that time of the consideration given for the property.

However, nothing in this section limits the liability of the corporation under any other provision of this Act.

1996, c. 39, s. 251; 1997, c. 3, s. 71.

1034.3. Where property is transferred at any time from a taxpayer, in this section referred to as the “transferor”, to another taxpayer, in this section referred to as the “transferee”, with whom the transferor does not deal at arm’s length, the transferor is liable because of this section or section 1034.2, to pay an amount of the tax of another person, in this section referred to as the “debtor”, under this Part, and it can reasonably be considered that one of the reasons of the transfer is to prevent the enforcement of this section or section 1034.2, the transferee is solidarily liable with the transferor and the debtor to pay an amount of the debtor’s tax under this Part equal to the lesser of the amount of such tax that the transferor was liable to pay at that time and the amount by which the fair market value of the property at that time exceeds the fair market value at that time of the consideration given for the property.

However, nothing in this section limits the liability of the debtor or the transferor under any provision of this Act.

1996, c. 39, s. 251.

1034.3.1. For the purposes of sections 1034.2 and 1034.3, the fair market value at any time of an undivided right in a property is deemed to be equal to the proportion of the fair market value of the property at that time that the right is of all the undivided rights in the property.

2001, c. 53, s. 230; 2020, c. 16, s. 164.

1034.4. Where, for a taxation year, the Minister has refunded an amount to an individual or has applied an amount to another of the individual’s liabilities, and that amount is greater than the amount that should have been refunded or applied, the individual and the person who, for the year, is the individual’s eligible spouse are solidarily liable for payment of that excess amount, to the extent that the excess amount may reasonably be considered to relate to the application of section 1029.8.105, as it read before being repealed.

However, nothing in this section limits the liability of the individual or the individual’s eligible spouse for the year, where applicable, under any other provision of this Act.

1997, c. 85, s. 273; 2021, c. 14, s. 171.

1034.5. For the purposes of section 1034.4 and of section 1035 where that section applies in respect of an eligible spouse of an individual in relation to an amount payable under section 1034.4, “eligible spouse” of an individual for a taxation year has the meaning assigned by section 1029.8.101, as it read before being repealed.

1997, c. 85, s. 273; 1999, c. 83, s. 221; 2021, c. 14, s. 172.

1034.6. Where, for a taxation year, the Minister has refunded an amount to an individual or has applied an amount to another of the individual’s liabilities, and that amount is greater than the amount that should have been refunded or applied, the individual and the person who, for the year, is the individual’s eligible spouse are solidarily liable for payment of that excess amount, to the extent that the excess amount may reasonably be considered to relate to the application of section 1029.8.114 or 1029.8.114.1, as it read before being repealed.

However, nothing in this section limits the liability of the individual or the individual’s eligible spouse for the year, where applicable, under any other provision of this Act.

1999, c. 83, s. 222; 2009, c. 5, s. 484; 2021, c. 14, s. 173.

1034.7. For the purposes of section 1034.6 and of section 1035 where that section applies in respect of an eligible spouse of an individual in relation to an amount payable under section 1034.6, “eligible spouse” of an individual for a taxation year has the meaning assigned by section 1029.8.110, as it read before being repealed.

1999, c. 83, s. 222; 2021, c. 14, s. 174.

1034.8. If, for a taxation year, the Minister has refunded an amount to a trust governed by a registered education savings plan or has applied an amount to another of the trust’s liabilities, and that amount is greater than the amount that should have been refunded or applied, a beneficiary in respect of whom an educational assistance payment has been made under the plan is solidarily liable with the trust for payment of the excess amount, to the extent that the excess amount may reasonably be considered to relate to the application of section 1029.8.128 and up to the portion of the educational assistance payment that may reasonably be attributed to the excess amount.

However, nothing in this section limits the liability of the trust or the beneficiary under any other provision of this Act.

2009, c. 5, s. 485.

1034.9. For the purposes of section 1034.8 and section 1035 when that section applies in respect of a beneficiary in relation to an amount payable under section 1034.8, “beneficiary”, “educational assistance payment” and “trust” have the meaning assigned by section 890.15.

2009, c. 5, s. 485.

1034.10. If, in computing taxable income for a taxation year, a taxpayer is required to include an amount in respect of a disability assistance payment, within the meaning assigned by the first paragraph of section 905.0.3, that is deemed under subparagraph b or c of the first paragraph of section 905.0.20 to have been made at a particular time from a registered disability savings plan, the taxpayer and each holder, within the meaning assigned by the first paragraph of section 905.0.3, of the plan immediately after the particular time are solidarily liable to pay a part of the taxpayer’s tax under this Part for that taxation year that is equal to the amount determined by the formula

A - B.

In the formula in the first paragraph,

(a)  A is the amount of the taxpayer’s tax under this Part for the year; and

(b)  B is the amount that would be the taxpayer’s tax under this Part for the year if no disability assistance payment were deemed by subparagraph b or c of the first paragraph of section 905.0.20 to have been made from a registered disability savings plan at a particular time.

However, this section limits neither the liability of the taxpayer under any other provision of this Act, nor the liability of any holder for the interest that the holder is liable to pay under this Act on an assessment in respect of an amount that the holder is liable to pay because of this section.

2009, c. 15, s. 354; 2015, c. 21, s. 494.

1035. The Minister may at any time assess a taxpayer in respect of any amount payable under any of sections 1034 to 1034.0.0.4, any of subsections 1 to 2.1 of section 1034.1 or any of sections 1034.2, 1034.3, 1034.4, 1034.6, 1034.8 and 1034.10, as the case may be, and this Book applies, with the necessary modifications, to an assessment made under this section as though it had been made under Title II.

1035.1. The Minister may at any time assess a taxpayer in respect of any amount payable under paragraph g of section 595 or section 597.0.15, and this Book applies, with the necessary modifications, to an assessment made under this section as though it had been made under Title II.

2015, c. 36, s. 150.

1036. If a particular taxpayer and another taxpayer are, under paragraph g of section 595 or any of sections 597.0.15, 1034 to 1034.0.0.4, 1034.1 to 1034.3, 1034.4, 1034.6, 1034.8 and 1034.10, as the case may be, solidarily liable in respect of all or part of a liability of the other taxpayer, the following rules apply:

(a)  a payment by, and on account of the liability of, the particular taxpayer discharges, up to the amount of the payment, their solidary liability; and

(b)  a payment by, and on account of the liability of, the other taxpayer discharges the liability of the particular taxpayer only to the extent that the payment operates to reduce the liability of the other taxpayer to an amount less than the amount in respect of which the particular taxpayer is solidarily liable under paragraph g of section 595 or any of sections 597.0.15, 1034 to 1034.0.0.4, 1034.1 to 1034.3, 1034.4, 1034.6, 1034.8 and 1034.10, as the case may be.

(a)  an adjustment of an income or profits tax payable by the taxpayer to the government of a foreign country or political subdivision of a foreign country;

(b)  a reduction in the amount of taxes that meet the conditions under subparagraphs a to c of the first paragraph of section 772.5.2, that is deductible under section 772.6 or 772.8 in computing the taxpayer’s tax otherwise payable under this Part for the particular year, as a result of the application of section 772.5.2, or, in the case of a corporation, of subsection 4.2 of section 126 of the Income Tax Act (R.S.C. 1985, c. 1 (5th Suppl.)), in respect of a share or debt obligation disposed of by the taxpayer in the taxation year following the particular year; or

The period to which the first paragraph refers is the period

(a)  that ends 90 days after the date on which the taxpayer is first notified of the amount of the adjustment, if subparagraph a of the first paragraph applies;

(b)  before the date of the disposition, if subparagraph b of the first paragraph applies; and

1043. Where the income of a taxpayer for a taxation year or part thereof is from sources in another country and the taxpayer by reason of monetary or exchange restrictions imposed by that country is unable to transfer it to Canada, the Minister may postpone the time of payment of the whole or part of the tax reasonably attributable to the income from sources in that country for a period which he determines, if he is satisfied that the payment of the whole tax for the year would impose extreme hardship on the taxpayer; in such case, no interest is exigible on the payment of tax so postponed for the period determined by the Minister.

However, the payment shall not be so postponed if such income has been, in whole or in part, transferred to Canada, used by the taxpayer for any purpose other than the payment of a tax on such income to the government of that country or has been disposed of by him.

Where, for a particular taxation year, a taxpayer is entitled to exclude from the taxpayer’s income under sections 294 to 298 an amount in respect of the exercise of an option in a subsequent taxation year, to exclude from the taxpayer’s income or to deduct an amount by reason of the disposition in a subsequent taxation year of a work of art referred to in section 714.1 or 752.0.10.11.1 by a donee referred to in that section, to deduct an amount relating to a subsequent taxation year, or because of an event in a subsequent taxation year, and referred to in any of paragraphs b to b.1.0.1, c to d.1.0.0.4, d.1.1 and f to h of section 1012.1, to deduct an amount under any of sections 785.2.2 to 785.2.4 from the proceeds of disposition of a property because of an election made in a fiscal return for a subsequent taxation year or to reduce an amount included in computing the taxpayer’s income under section 580 for the particular taxation year because of a reduction referred to in section 1012.2 in the foreign accrual property income of a foreign affiliate of the taxpayer for a taxation year of the foreign affiliate that ends in the particular taxation year, the tax payable under this Part by the taxpayer for the particular taxation year is deemed, for the purpose of computing interest payable under sections 1037 to 1040, to be equal to the tax that the taxpayer would have been required to pay if the consequences of the deduction, exclusion or reduction of those amounts were not taken into account.

However, the amount by which the tax payable under this Part by the taxpayer for the particular taxation year is reduced as a consequence of the exclusion from the income, the deduction or the reduction, as the case may be, of an amount described in the first paragraph is deemed, for the purpose of computing interest payable under sections 1037 to 1040, to have been paid by the taxpayer on account of the taxpayer’s tax payable under this Part for the particular taxation year on the latest of

(a)  the day on which an amended fiscal return of the taxpayer or a prescribed form was filed in accordance with any of sections 297, 716.0.1, 752.0.10.15, 1012, 1012.2, 1054, 1055.1.2 and 1055.1.3 so as to exclude from the taxpayer’s income, to deduct or to reduce the amount for the particular taxation year;

(b)  where, as a consequence of a request in writing, the Minister assessed the taxpayer’s tax for the year so as to exclude from his income or deduct the amount for the particular taxation year, the day on which the request was made;

(c)  the day immediately following the end of the subsequent taxation year relating to the amount excluded from the taxpayer’s income or deducted for the particular taxation year; and

(d)  the day on which the taxpayer or his legal representative files his fiscal return under this Part for the subsequent taxation year referred to in subparagraph c.

1972, c. 23, s. 768; 1983, c. 49, s. 16; 1985, c. 25, s. 152; 1986, c. 19, s. 192; 1987, c. 67, s. 187; 1988, c. 4, s. 129; 1991, c. 25, s. 169; 1993, c. 64, s. 174; 1995, c. 63, s. 214; 1997, c. 31, s. 125; 2000, c. 5, s. 275; 2002, c. 46, s. 4; 2004, c. 8, s. 181; 2005, c. 23, s. 230; 2005, c. 38, s. 291; 2007, c. 12, s. 216; 2009, c. 15, s. 357; 2011, c. 34, s. 108; 2015, c. 36, s. 153; 2017, c. 1, s. 342; 2021, c. 18, s. 147.

1044.0.1. Where, for a particular taxation year, a taxpayer has included an amount in computing his income by reason of the disposition in a subsequent taxation year of a work of art referred to in section 714.1 or 752.0.10.11.1 by a donee referred to in either of those sections, his tax payable under this Part for the particular taxation year is deemed, for the purpose of computing interest payable under sections 1037 to 1040, to be equal to the tax that the taxpayer would have been required to pay had he not been entitled to so include that amount.

However, the amount by which the taxpayer’s tax payable under this Part for the particular taxation year is increased by reason of the inclusion of an amount described in the first paragraph is deemed, for the purpose of computing interest payable under sections 1037 to 1040, to have so increased the taxpayer’s tax payable under this Part for the particular taxation year, from the taxpayer’s filing-due date for the subsequent taxation year.

1995, c. 63, s. 215; 1997, c. 3, s. 71; 1997, c. 31, s. 143.

1044.0.2. Where the tax payable under this Part by a taxpayer for a taxation year is more than it otherwise would be because of a consequence for the year, described in paragraph b of the definition of “specified tax consequence” in section 1, in respect of an amount purported to be renounced in a calendar year by a corporation, for the purposes of the provisions of this Part, other than this section, relating to a determination of interest payable under this Part, an amount equal to the additional tax payable is deemed

(a)  to have been paid on the taxpayer’s balance-due day for the taxation year as partial payment of the taxpayer’s tax payable under this Part for the year; and

(b)  to be an excess amount referred to in section 32 of the Tax Administration Act (chapter A-6.002) that has been refunded to the taxpayer on account of the taxpayer’s tax payable under this Part for the taxation year,

i.  if section 359.8.1 applies in respect of expenses that the corporation incurred in the calendar year that follows that in which the corporation is purported to have renounced the amount, on 30 April of the calendar year that follows that subsequent calendar year, and

ii.  in any other case, on 30 April of the calendar year that follows that in which the corporation is purported to have renounced the amount.

1045. Every person who fails to make a fiscal return on the prescribed form and within the prescribed time, in accordance with section 1000, 1001, 1003 or 1004, incurs a penalty equal to 5% of the tax unpaid at the time when the return must be filed and an additional penalty of 1% of that unpaid tax for each complete month, not exceeding 12 months, in the period that begins at the time the return must be filed and ends at the time it is actually filed.

For the purposes of the first paragraph, the unpaid tax of an individual shall be reduced by the amount of reimbursement or refund to which the individual is entitled for the year under section 220.3 of the Act respecting municipal taxation (chapter F-2.1), section 78 of the Act respecting the Québec Pension Plan (chapter R-9), section 70 of the Act respecting parental insurance (chapter A-29.011), the Act respecting property tax refund (chapter R-20.1) and section 358 of the Act respecting the Québec sales tax (chapter T-0.1) and for the following year under section 210.7 of the Act respecting municipal taxation.

1045.0.1. Despite section 1045, where the failure referred to in that section results solely from the inclusion, in computing an individual’s income for a particular taxation year, of an amount by reason of the disposition in a subsequent taxation year of a work of art referred to in section 752.0.10.11.1 by a donee referred to in that section, and by reason of the designation, referred to in subparagraph b of the first paragraph of section 752.0.10.13, of an amount in relation to the particular taxation year, the penalty of 5% provided for in the first paragraph of section 1045 applies to the tax unpaid on the individual’s filing-due date for the subsequent taxation year in which the disposition was made and the penalty of 1% provided for in that first paragraph applies to that unpaid tax for each complete month, not exceeding 12 months, in the period that begins on that filing-due date and ends at the time the fiscal return referred to in section 1045 is actually filed.

1995, c. 63, s. 216; 1997, c. 31, s. 126; 2009, c. 5, s. 489; 2019, c. 14, s. 427.

Every person or partnership who makes, or participates in, assents to or acquiesces in the making of, a false statement or omission in respect of information relating to a claim preparer required to be included in a scientific research and experimental development form solidarily incurs, together with the claim preparer, a penalty of $1,000.

However, a person or partnership, as the case may be, may not incur, in respect of the same false statement or omission, both the penalty provided for in the first paragraph and the penalty provided for in section 59.0.2 of the Tax Administration Act (chapter A-6.002).

2015, c. 21, s. 495.

1045.0.1.2. A claim preparer of a scientific research and experimental development form does not incur the penalty provided for in section 1045.0.1.1 in respect of a false statement or omission if the claim preparer has exercised the degree of care, diligence and skill to prevent the making of the false statement or omission that a reasonably prudent person would have exercised in comparable circumstances.

2015, c. 21, s. 495.

1045.0.1.3. For the purposes of this section and sections 1045.0.1.1 and 1045.0.1.2,

2015, c. 21, s. 495.

1045.0.1.4. Where a partnership incurs a penalty under section 1045.0.1.1, sections 1005 to 1014, 1034 to 1034.0.2, 1035 to 1044.0.2 and 1051 to 1055.1 apply, with the necessary modifications, in respect of the penalty as if the partnership were a corporation.

1049. Every person who, knowingly or under circumstances amounting to gross negligence, has made or has participated in or acquiesced in the making of, a false statement or omission in a return, certificate, statement or answer, in this section referred to as a “return”, made or filed in respect of a taxation year for the purposes of this Act, incurs a penalty equal to the greater of $100 and 50% of the amount by which

(a)  the aggregate of

i.  the tax for the year that would be payable by the person under this Act if

(1)  the person’s taxable income for the year, determined on the basis of the information provided in the return, were computed by adding that portion of the amount determined in the second paragraph that may reasonably be attributed to the false statement or omission, and

(2)  the person’s taxable income for the year were computed by subtracting from the aggregate of all deductions from the tax otherwise payable by the person for the year such portion of any such deduction as may reasonably be attributed to the false statement or omission, and by adding to that aggregate any amount not deducted from the tax otherwise payable by the person for the year and that is deductible under Book V, if the amount that entitles the person to that deduction is wholly applicable to an amount that was not reported by the person in the return and that was required to be included in computing the person’s income for the year, and

ii.  the amount that would be deemed under Divisions II to III of Chapter III.1 of Title III, except Division II.11.2 of that Chapter III.1, to have been paid for the year by the person to the Minister had that amount been determined on the basis of the information provided in the person’s return for the year; exceeds

(b)  the aggregate of

i.  the tax for the year that would have been payable by the person under this Act had it been determined on the basis of the information provided in the person’s return for the year, and

(ii)  the amount that would be deemed under Divisions II to III of Chapter III.1 of Title III, except Division II.11.2 of that Chapter III.1, to have been paid for the year by the person to the Minister had that amount been determined on the basis of the information provided in the person’s return for the year but without reference to the false statement or omission.

The amount to which subparagraph 1 of subparagraph i of subparagraph a of the first paragraph refers in respect of the person is the aggregate of

(a)  the amount by which the aggregate of the amounts that were not reported by the person in the return and that were required to be included in computing the person’s income for the year exceeds the aggregate of

i.  the aggregate of the amounts, other than those provided for in section 130, that were not deducted by the person in computing the person’s income for the year reported by the person in the return, were deductible by the person in computing the person’s income under this Act and were wholly attributable to the amounts that were required to be so included in computing the person’s income, and

ii.  the aggregate of the amounts that were not deducted by the person in computing the person’s taxable income for the year reported by the person in the return, were deductible by the person in computing the person’s taxable income under this Act and consist specifically in all or a fraction of the portion of the person’s income for the year represented by the amounts that were required to be so included in computing the person’s taxable income;

(b)  the amount by which the aggregate of amounts deducted by him in computing his income for the year indicated by him in his return exceeds the aggregate of such amounts deductible in computing such income under this Act; and

(c)  the amount by which the aggregate of amounts, other than those provided for in sections 727 to 737, deducted by him in computing his taxable income for the year indicated by him in his return exceeds the aggregate of amounts, other than those provided for in sections 727 to 737, deductible in computing his taxable income for the year under this Act.

For the purposes of the first paragraph, the taxable income of a person for a taxation year, determined on the basis of the information provided in the person’s return, is deemed not to be less than nil.

For the purpose of determining the amount referred to in the second paragraph in respect of a person for a taxation year, the following rules apply:

(a)  the amount otherwise deductible under Division IV of Chapter IV of Title IV of Book III in respect of the person’s precious property loss for a subsequent taxation year is deemed not to be deductible in computing the person’s income for the year;

(b)  the amount that may otherwise be excluded from the person’s income by reason of Division XI of Chapter IV of Title IV of Book III in respect of the exercise of any option in a subsequent taxation year is deemed not to be excluded from the person’s income for the year;

(b.1)  any amount that may otherwise be deducted under section 965.0.3 in computing the person’s income for the year because of the application of section 965.0.4.1 as a consequence of the person’s death in the subsequent taxation year, is deemed not to be deductible in computing the person’s income for the year;

(c)  the amount otherwise deductible in computing the person’s income for the year because of subparagraph a or b of the first paragraph of section 1054 or section 1055.1.2 or 1055.1.3 is deemed not to be deductible in computing the person’s income for the year.

(a)  where this section applies otherwise than because of the person’s failure to file the statement on or before the day that is 24 months after the day on or before which it was required to be filed, the portion of the excess referred to in section 359.15 that is identified in the statement; and

(c)  shows a wilful, reckless or wanton disregard of this Act, of the Cooperative Investment Plan Act or the Act respecting the sectoral parameters of certain fiscal measures where it applies in respect of the deduction in respect of the second cooperative investment plan, within the meaning assigned to that expression by section 5.1 of Schedule C to that Act;

“false statement” includes a statement that is misleading because of an omission from the statement;

“gross compensation” of a particular person at any time, in respect of a false statement that could be used by or on behalf of another person, means all amounts that the particular person, or any person not dealing at arm’s length with the particular person, is entitled, either absolutely or contingently and either before or after that time, to receive or to obtain in respect of the statement;

“person” includes a partnership;

“subordinate”, in respect of a particular person, includes any other person over whose activities the particular person has direction, supervision or control whether or not the other person is an employee of the particular person or of another person.

For the purposes of the definition of “subordinate” in the first paragraph, if the particular person is a member of a partnership, the other person is not a subordinate of the particular person solely because the particular person is a member of the partnership.

(a)  the penalty that the other person would incur under section 1049 if the other person had made the statement in a return filed for the purposes of this Act, except sections 965.39.1 to 965.39.7, and had known that the statement was false; and

(a)  25% of the amount obtained by multiplying the amount determined under section 965.109 in respect of the transaction or operation or of the series of transactions or operations by the proportion that the adjusted cost of the aggregate of the shares of the capital stock of the corporation that were issued, in the year of the transaction or operation or of the series of transactions or operations but before the time of the transaction or operation or of the series of transactions or operations or in the two years preceding that year, with the stipulation that they could be included in a stock savings plan II, and distributed in Québec and of the shares of the capital stock of the corporation issued in replacement of shares issued with such a stipulation, that were issued in the year of the transaction or operation or of the series of transactions or operations but before the time of the transaction or operation or of the series of transactions or operations or in the two years preceding that year and distributed in Québec, is of the paid-up capital at the time of the issue in respect of the aggregate of such shares of the corporation; and

The amount of the penalty prescribed in the first paragraph in respect of a transaction or operation or of a series of transactions or operations is equal to the lesser of

(a)  25% of the amount obtained by multiplying the amount determined under the second paragraph of section 965.110 in respect of the transaction or operation or of the series of transactions or operations by the proportion that the adjusted cost of the aggregate of the shares of the capital stock of the corporation that were issued, in the year of the transaction or operation or of the series of transactions or operations but before the time of the transaction or operation or of the series of transactions or operations or in the two years preceding that year, with the stipulation that they could be included in a stock savings plan II, and distributed in Québec and of the shares of the capital stock of the corporation issued in replacement of shares issued with such a stipulation, that were issued in the year of the transaction or operation or of the series of transactions or operations but before the time of the transaction or operation or of the series of transactions or operations or in the two years preceding that year and distributed in Québec, is of the paid-up capital at the time of the issue in respect of the aggregate of such shares of the corporation; and

(b)  25% of the adjusted cost of the aggregate of

i.  the shares of the capital stock of the corporation that were issued, in the year of the transaction or operation or of the series of transactions or operations but before the time of the transaction or operation or of the series of transactions or operations or in the two years preceding that year, with the stipulation that they could be included in a stock savings plan II, and distributed in Québec to an individual or to a qualified mutual fund,

1049.14.7. The Minister may stay the imposition of a penalty under any of sections 1049.14.4 to 1049.14.6 in respect of a corporation that plans to carry out or has already carried out a transaction referred to in any of those sections, if the corporation has applied to the Minister to that effect and undertakes to comply with any of the conditions set out in section 1049.14.8.

The Minister may at any time revoke the stay provided for in the first paragraph if the Minister is of the opinion that the undertaking of the corporation is compromised.

2006, c. 13, s. 202.

1049.14.9. Despite sections 1049.14.4 to 1049.14.6, if the Minister, under section 1049.14.7, stays the imposition of a penalty in respect of a corporation for a particular transaction and the corporation fulfills, to the satisfaction of the Minister, its undertaking under section 1049.14.7, the corporation incurs no penalty for the transaction.

1049.14.10. Despite sections 1049.14.4 to 1049.14.6, if the amount of a particular penalty under any of those sections is greater than the excess amount determined under the second paragraph, the amount of the particular penalty is to be reduced to that excess amount.

The excess amount to which the first paragraph refers in respect of a particular penalty relating to a transaction referred to in any of the sections referred to in that paragraph is the amount by which the amount determined under the third paragraph exceeds the amount determined under the fourth paragraph.

The amount determined under this paragraph is equal to 25% of the aggregate of the adjusted cost of

(a)  the shares of the capital stock of the corporation that were issued, in the year of the transaction but before the time of the transaction or in the two years preceding that year, with the stipulation that they could be included in a stock savings plan II, and distributed in Québec to an individual or to a qualified mutual fund;

The amount determined under this paragraph is equal to the aggregate of the penalties incurred by the corporation under sections 1049.14.4 to 1049.14.6 before the imposition of the particular penalty in respect of the shares of its capital stock that are described in the third paragraph.

2006, c. 13, s. 202; 2010, c. 5, s. 175.

2006, c. 13, s. 202.

1049.14.12. For the purposes of this Part, except section 1049.14.11 and this section, if the Minister reduces to a particular amount the amount of a penalty determined under any of sections 1049.14.4 to 1049.14.6 in respect of a transaction, the particular amount is deemed to be the amount determined under that section in respect of the transaction.

2006, c. 13, s. 202.

1049.14.13. If a mutual fund states falsely in its final prospectus that the issued securities can be included in a stock savings plan II described in paragraph b of section 965.56, the mutual fund manager or trustee incurs a penalty equal to 25% of the adjusted cost that would be determined under section 965.124 if the statement of the mutual fund were true, of each security of the issue distributed in Québec to an individual.

(d)  the legal representative shall, within the prescribed time, file with the Minister an amended fiscal return in the name of the deceased taxpayer for the taxation year in which the taxpayer died and the prescribed documents.

However, if the aggregate of the amounts determined under subparagraph a of the first paragraph in relation to the disposition of the capital properties referred to in paragraph a of section 1055 would, but for this paragraph, be greater than the excess amount referred to in paragraph a of that section, the amount otherwise determined under subparagraph a of the first paragraph in respect of such a capital property must, if applicable, be reduced to the amount specified in relation to that capital property by the legal representative of the deceased taxpayer in the prescribed documents required under subparagraph d of the first paragraph or, if no amount is so specified, by the Minister, so that the aggregate is equal to the excess amount referred to in paragraph a of section 1055.

In addition, if the aggregate of the amounts determined under subparagraph b of the first paragraph in relation to the deductible amounts described in paragraph b of section 1055 would, but for this paragraph, be greater than the amount described in the fourth paragraph, the amount otherwise determined under subparagraph b of the first paragraph in respect of such a deductible amount must, if applicable, be reduced to the amount specified in relation to that deductible amount by the legal representative of the deceased taxpayer in the prescribed documents required under subparagraph d of the first paragraph or, if no amount is so specified, by the Minister, so that the aggregate is equal to the amount described in the fourth paragraph.

The amount referred to in subparagraph 2 of subparagraph i of subparagraph b of the first paragraph and the third paragraph is equal to the amount that would, but for this section, represent the total of the non-capital loss and the farm loss of the succession for its first taxation year.

Chapter V.2 of Title II of Book I applies in relation to an election made under subsection 6 of section 164 of the Income Tax Act or in relation to an election made under this section before 20 December 2006.

1972, c. 23, s. 778; 1974, c. 18, s. 34; 1985, c. 25, s. 157; 1987, c. 67, s. 189; 1988, c. 18, s. 125; 1998, c. 16, s. 251; 2001, c. 7, s. 152; 2009, c. 5, s. 495.

1055. Section 1054 applies if, in the course of the administration of the succession of a deceased taxpayer that is a graduated rate estate, the legal representative of the deceased taxpayer disposes, within the first taxation year of the succession,

(a)  of the capital properties of the succession with the result that capital losses exceed capital gains; or

(b)  of all the depreciable properties of a prescribed class of the succession the undepreciated capital cost of which, at the end of the first taxation year of the succession, is deductible under section 130.1 or the regulations made under paragraph a of section 130 in computing the income of the succession for that year.

1972, c. 23, s. 779; 1972, c. 26, s. 75; 1974, c. 18, s. 35; 1975, c. 22, s. 239; 1978, c. 26, s. 207; 1987, c. 67, s. 190; 1988, c. 18, s. 126; 1998, c. 16, s. 251; 2009, c. 5, s. 496; 2017, c. 1, s. 348.

1055.1. Despite any other provision of this Act, if, within the first taxation year of the succession of a deceased taxpayer that is a graduated rate estate, a right to acquire a security, as defined in section 47.18, under an agreement in respect of which a benefit was deemed by section 52.1 to have been received by the taxpayer is exercised or disposed of by the taxpayer’s legal representative and the taxpayer’s legal representative makes an election in prescribed manner and within the prescribed time, the following rules apply:

(a)  the taxpayer is deemed to have incurred a loss from an office or employment for the year in which he died equal to the amount by which the amount of the benefit deemed under section 52.1 to have been received by him in respect of the right exceeds the aggregate of

i.  the amount by which the value of the right immediately before the time it was exercised or disposed of exceeds the amount paid by the taxpayer to acquire the right, and

ii.  where an amount has been deducted under section 725.2 in computing the taxpayer’s taxable income for the year in which the taxpayer died in respect of the benefit deemed under section 52.1 to have been received by the taxpayer in that year in respect of that right, 1/4 of the amount by which the amount of the benefit deemed under section 52.1 to have been received by the taxpayer in respect of that right exceeds the amount determined under subparagraph i;

(b)  the amount of the loss that would be determined under paragraph a if that paragraph were read without reference to subparagraph ii thereof, shall be deducted in computing the adjusted cost base to the succession of the right at any time; and

(c)  the legal representative shall, on or before the date prescribed for making the election under this section, file an amended fiscal return for the taxpayer for the year in which the taxpayer died to give effect to paragraph a.

1994, c. 22, s. 330; 1998, c. 16, s. 251; 2001, c. 53, s. 237; 2003, c. 2, s. 282; 2006, c. 36, s. 211; 2017, c. 1, s. 349.

1055.1.1. For the purposes of subparagraph ii of paragraph a of section 1055.1, if an amount was deducted under section 725.2, as a consequence of the application of section 725.2.0.1 or 725.2.0.1.1, in computing a taxpayer’s taxable income for the year in which the taxpayer died, that subparagraph ii is to be read as if “1/4” were replaced by “50%”.

2009, c. 15, s. 362; 2019, c. 14, s. 429.

1055.1.2. Despite any other provision of this Act, if the legal representative of a deceased taxpayer pays, in any taxation year (in this section referred to as the “repayment year”), an amount that would be deductible under section 78.1, but for this section, in computing, for the repayment year, the income of the succession that is a graduated rate estate, the amount is deemed to have been paid by the taxpayer in the taxpayer’s last taxation year and not to have been so paid by the legal representative.

The first paragraph applies only if the following conditions are met on or before the succession’s filing-due date for the repayment year:

(a)  the legal representative elects to have the first paragraph apply in respect of the amount paid; and

(b)  the legal representative files with the Minister an amended fiscal return in the name of the taxpayer for the taxation year in which the taxpayer died.

2011, c. 34, s. 111; 2017, c. 1, s. 350.

1055.1.3. Despite any other provision of this Act, if the legal representative of a deceased taxpayer repays, in a particular taxation year of the succession of the taxpayer that is a graduated rate estate, an amount that is a benefit received by the taxpayer under the Act respecting parental insurance (chapter A-29.011), the Act respecting the Québec Pension Plan (chapter R-9) or a similar plan within the meaning of that Act, the Unemployment Insurance Act (R.S.C. 1985, c. U-1) or the Employment Insurance Act (S.C. 1996, c. 23), and included by the taxpayer in computing the taxpayer’s income for one or more taxation years, the amount is deemed to have been repaid by the taxpayer in the taxpayer’s last taxation year and not to have been repaid by the legal representative.

The first paragraph applies only if the following conditions are met on or before the succession’s filing-due date for the particular taxation year:

(a)  the legal representative elects to have the first paragraph apply in respect of the repaid amount; and

(b)  the legal representative files with the Minister an amended fiscal return in the name of the taxpayer for the taxation year in which the taxpayer died.

2011, c. 34, s. 111; 2017, c. 1, s. 351.

1055.2. Despite any inconsistent provision of any law, a corporation may assign or hypothecate the right to claim an amount payable to it under this Act.

The assignment or hypothec is not binding on the State and, as a result, the following rules apply:

(a)  the Minister retains discretion to pay or not to pay the amount to the assignee or creditor;

(b)  the assignment or hypothec does not create any liability of the State to the assignee or creditor; and

(c)  the rights of the assignee or creditor are subject to the rights conferred on the State by section 31 of the Tax Administration Act (chapter A-6.002) and any right to compensation of which the State may avail itself.

2000, c. 39, s. 217; 2006, c. 36, s. 212; 2010, c. 31, s. 175.

TITLE VI.2 ELECTION

1993, c. 16, s. 340.

1056.4. The Minister may extend the time for making a prescribed election or grant permission to amend or revoke such an election if

(a)  the election was required to be made by a taxpayer or by a partnership on or before a particular day in a taxation year of the taxpayer or a fiscal period of the partnership; and

(b)  the taxpayer or the partnership applies, on or before the day that is ten calendar years after the end of the taxation year or the fiscal period, to the Minister for that extension or permission.

1993, c. 16, s. 340; 1997, c. 3, s. 71; 2005, c. 38, s. 294.

1056.4.0.1. On a written application by a taxpayer, the Minister may extend the time for making an election under Chapter II.1 of Title VI of Book III or grant permission for such an election made previously to be amended or revoked if

(a)  the application is made on or before the day that is three calendar years after the taxpayer’s filing-due date for the taxation year for which the election applies; and

(b)  the taxpayer is resident in Canada at the time of the application or, if the taxpayer is deceased at that time, at the time that is immediately before the taxpayer’s death.

The first paragraph does not apply to an election described in the definition of “joint election” in the first paragraph of section 336.8, enacted by the first paragraph of section 336.9.

However, if, in accordance with paragraph 3.201 of section 220 of the Income Tax Act (R.S.C. 1985, c. 1 (5th Suppl.)), the Minister of National Revenue extends the time for making an election referred to in the second paragraph or grants permission for such an election made previously to be amended or revoked, the Minister is deemed, for the purposes of this Title, to have so extended the time for making the election or so granted permission for such an election to be amended or revoked, under the first paragraph.

The third paragraph does not apply if the taxpayer who applied for an extension of the time for making an election referred to in the second paragraph for a particular taxation year, or the other taxpayer with whom the election must be made, was a transferor who was resident in Québec at the end of that year or, if the transferor died in that year, at the time that is immediately before the transferor’s death, and who made a joint election within the meaning of the first paragraph of section 336.8 with the transferor’s eligible spouse for the particular year within the meaning of sections 776.41.1 to 776.41.4 that has not been revoked in accordance with a permission obtained under the first paragraph.

2009, c. 5, s. 497.

1056.4.1. For the purposes of section 1056.4, the following rules apply:

(a)  a designation made in the prescribed form and provided for in section 274 or 274.0.1, subparagraph j of the first paragraph of section 485.3 or any of sections 485.6 to 485.11 and 485.40 is deemed to be a prescribed election;

(a.1)  a specification made under any of sections 279, 280.3 and 1054 in a fiscal return or other document is deemed to be a prescribed election; and

(b)  an allocation under section 1121.12 is deemed to be a prescribed election.

1996, c. 39, s. 255; 2001, c. 53, s. 238; 2009, c. 5, s. 498; 2010, c. 5, s. 181; 2021, c. 14, s. 181.

1056.5. The Minister shall, with dispatch, examine each application filed with him under section 1056.4 and, where the application is granted by the Minister, determine the penalty payable and send a notice of assessment in that respect to the taxpayer or the partnership.

1993, c. 16, s. 340; 1997, c. 3, s. 71.

1056.6. Where an application made under section 1056.4 is granted by the Minister, the taxpayer or the partnership incurs, in respect of the election or of the amended or revoked election, a penalty equal to $100 for each complete month from the day on or before which the election was required to be made to the day on which the application is made, up to $5,000.

1993, c. 16, s. 340; 1997, c. 3, s. 71.

1056.7. Where the Minister has extended the time for making an election or granted permission to amend an election, the election or amended election is deemed to have been made in the form in which and on or before the day on or before which the election was required to be made.

In addition, where the Minister has granted permission to amend or revoke an election, the election is deemed never to have been made.

1993, c. 16, s. 340.

1056.8. Despite section 1010, where the Minister extends the time for making an election or grants permission to amend or revoke an election, the Minister shall make a reassessment and redetermine the tax, interest and penalties for any taxation year to take into account the election or the amended or revoked election.

The same rule applies where a provision of an Act or regulation allows the making of an election in respect of a taxation year prior to the date of coming into force of that provision.

1079.1. In this Book,

“gifting arrangement” means any arrangement under which it may reasonably be considered, having regard to statements or representations made or proposed to be made in connection with the arrangement, that if a person were to enter into the arrangement, the person would

(a)  make a gift to a qualified donee, or a contribution referred to in the first paragraph of section 776, of property acquired by the person under the arrangement; or

(b)  incur a limited-recourse debt that may reasonably be considered to relate to a gift to a qualified donee or a contribution referred to in the first paragraph of section 776;

“limited-recourse debt” in respect of a gift or a contribution described in the first paragraph of section 776 of a taxpayer, at the time the gift or contribution is made, means an amount equal to the aggregate of

(a)  each limited-recourse amount at that time, determined under Title VIII of Book VI, of the taxpayer and of any other taxpayer not dealing at arm’s length with the taxpayer, that can reasonably be considered to relate to the gift or contribution;

(b)  each limited-recourse amount at that time, determined under Title VIII of Book VI when that Title VIII is applied to any other taxpayer dealing at arm’s length with and holds, directly or indirectly, an interest in the taxpayer, that can reasonably be considered to relate to the gift or contribution; and

(c)  each amount that is the unpaid amount at that time of any other indebtedness, of any taxpayer referred to in paragraph a or b, that can reasonably be considered to relate to the gift or contribution if there is a guarantee, security or similar covenant in respect of that or any other indebtedness;

“person” includes a partnership;

“promoter” in respect of a tax shelter means a person who, in the course of a business,

(a)  issues or sells, or promotes the issuance, sale or acquisition of, the tax shelter;

“tax shelter” means

(a)  a gifting arrangement described in paragraph b of the definition of “gifting arrangement”; and

(b)  a gifting arrangement described in paragraph a of the definition of “gifting arrangement”, or a property, including any right to income, other than a flow-through share or a prescribed property, in respect of which it may reasonably be considered, having regard to statements or representations made or proposed to be made in connection with the gifting arrangement or the property, that, if a person were to enter into the gifting arrangement or acquire an interest in the property, the amount referred to in the second paragraph would, at the end of a particular taxation year that ends within four years after the day on which the gifting arrangement is entered into or the interest is acquired, equal or exceed the amount by which the cost to the person of the property acquired under the gifting arrangement, or of the interest in the property at the end of the particular year, determined without reference to Title VIII of Book VI, would exceed the aggregate of all amounts each of which is the amount of any prescribed benefit that is expected to be received or enjoyed, directly or indirectly, in respect of the property acquired under the gifting arrangement, or of the interest in the property, by the person or any person with whom the person does not deal at arm’s length;

“trust tax identification number” has the meaning assigned by the second paragraph of section 58.1.1 of the Tax Administration Act (chapter A-6.002).

The amount to which the definition of “tax shelter” in the first paragraph refers is, for the particular taxation year referred to in that definition, the aggregate of all amounts each of which is

(a)  an amount, or a loss in the case of a partnership interest, represented to be deductible in computing the person’s income for the particular year or any preceding taxation year in respect of the gifting arrangement or the interest in the property, including, if the property is a right to income, an amount or loss in respect of that right that is stated or represented to be so deductible; or

(b)  any other amount stated or represented to be deemed under this Part to be paid on account of the person’s tax payable, or to be deductible in computing the person’s income, taxable income or tax payable under this Part, for the particular year or any preceding taxation year in respect of the gifting arrangement or the interest in the property, other than an amount so stated or represented that is included in computing a loss described in subparagraph a.

In this Book, more than one person may act as a tax shelter promoter in respect of the same tax shelter.

“transaction” includes an arrangement or event, and a series of transactions;

“transaction involving conditional remuneration”, carried out by a taxpayer or by a partnership of which a taxpayer is a member, means, subject to the second paragraph, a transaction in relation to which the remuneration of an adviser in respect of the transaction takes on any of the following forms:

(a)  all or part of the remuneration is conditional on obtaining a tax benefit resulting from the transaction or is determined, in whole or in part, on the basis of the tax benefit;

(b)  all or part of the remuneration may be refunded, in any manner whatever, if the expected tax benefit from the transaction fails to materialize;

(c)  all or part of the remuneration is earned by the adviser only after the expiry of a prescription period that is provided for in a law and that applies to the taxpayer’s taxation year or taxation years in which the transaction takes place;

For the purposes of the definition of “confidential transaction” in the first paragraph, it is understood that an undertaking of confidentiality towards other persons does not include a clause providing that an adviser’s professional liability exists only towards the adviser’s client and according to which a third party may not, for that party’s own purposes, rely on the opinion given by the adviser to the client.

For the purposes of this Book, in relation to a transaction determined by the Minister under the definition of “specified transaction” in the first paragraph, the Minister also determines and publishes in the Gazette officielle du Québec which taxpayers will be required to disclose a specified transaction in accordance with section 1079.8.6.2 and which will be the partnerships whose members will be subject to that obligation, if applicable, as well as the day from which the obligation to disclose specified transactions will apply.

The obligations provided for in this Book apply in respect of a specified transaction only if the carrying out of the specified transaction begins after the date of publication in the Gazette officielle du Québec of the transaction determined by the Minister to which the specified transaction relates; in that respect, section 1.5 does not apply for the purpose of determining the date on which a specified transaction begins to be carried out.

(b)  if an undertaking of confidentiality is made with an adviser by a corporation associated with, or a person related to, at the time at which the undertaking is made, the taxpayer or the partnership, the undertaking is deemed to have been made by the taxpayer or the partnership, as the case may be.

2010, c. 25, s. 189.

1079.8.3. For the purposes of this Book, the following rules apply:

(a)  if a person is a member, or is deemed because of the application of this paragraph to be a member, of a partnership that is a member of another partnership, the person is deemed to be a member of the other partnership;

(b)  for the purpose of determining whether a corporation is associated with, or whether a person is related to, a partnership at a particular time, the partnership is deemed to be a corporation whose taxation year corresponds to the partnership’s fiscal period and all the voting shares in the capital stock of which are owned at that time by each member of the partnership in a proportion equal to the agreed proportion that would be determined in respect of the member for the partnership’s fiscal period if the fiscal period ended at that time; and

(c)  for the purpose of determining whether a person is related to a taxpayer or a partnership at a particular time, a trust is deemed to be a corporation all the voting shares in the capital stock of which

i.  in the case of a testamentary trust under which one or more beneficiaries are entitled to receive all of the income of the trust that arose before the date of death of one or the last surviving of those beneficiaries (in this paragraph referred to as the “distribution date”) and under which no other person can, before the distribution date, receive or otherwise obtain the enjoyment of any of the income or capital of the trust,

(1)  are owned at that time by such a beneficiary, if that beneficiary’s share of the income or capital of the trust depends on the exercise by any person of, or the failure by any person to exercise, a discretionary power, and if that time occurs before the distribution date, or

(2)  are owned at that time by such a beneficiary in a proportion equal to the proportion that the fair market value of the beneficial interest in the trust of the beneficiary is of the fair market value of the beneficial interests in the trust of all the beneficiaries, if subparagraph 1 does not apply and that time occurs before the distribution date,

ii.  if a beneficiary’s share of the accumulating income or capital of the trust depends on the exercise by any person of, or the failure by any person to exercise, a discretionary power, are owned at that time by the beneficiary, unless subparagraph i applies and that time occurs before the distribution date,

iii.  in any case where subparagraph ii does not apply, are owned at that time by the beneficiary in a proportion equal to the proportion that the fair market value of the beneficial interest in the trust of the beneficiary is of the fair market value of all beneficial interests in the trust, unless subparagraph i applies and that time occurs before the distribution date, and

A + B; and

(b)  the amount of the impact on a particular partnership’s income for a fiscal period, resulting from a particular transaction referred to in either of those sections, is to be determined by the formula

C + D.

In the formulas in subparagraphs a and b of the first paragraph,

(a)  A is the amount by which the taxpayer’s income that would be determined for the taxation year if the particular transaction were not taken into account, exceeds the taxpayer’s income for the taxation year;

(b)  B is the amount by which the aggregate of all amounts each of which is the taxpayer’s non-capital loss, farm loss, net capital loss, restricted farm loss or limited partnership loss for the taxation year, exceeds the aggregate of all amounts each of which would be the taxpayer’s non-capital loss, farm loss, net capital loss, restricted farm loss or limited partnership loss for the taxation year if the particular transaction were not taken into account;

(c)  C is the amount by which the amount that would be the particular partnership’s income for the fiscal period if the particular transaction were not taken into account, exceeds the particular partnership’s income for the fiscal period; and

(d)  D is the amount by which the aggregate of all amounts each of which would have been the particular partnership’s non-capital loss, farm loss, net capital loss, restricted farm loss or limited partnership loss for the fiscal period if the particular partnership were a taxpayer whose taxation year coincides with the fiscal period, exceeds the aggregate determined under the third paragraph.

The aggregate to which subparagraph d of the second paragraph refers is the aggregate of all amounts each of which would be the particular partnership’s non-capital loss, farm loss, net capital loss, restricted farm loss or limited partnership loss for the fiscal period if the particular partnership were a taxpayer whose taxation year coincides with the fiscal period and if the particular transaction were not taken into account.

TITLE II.1 BUSINESSES PERFORMING MAINTENANCE WORK IN PUBLIC BUILDINGS

2020, c. 5, s. 15.

1079.8.34.1. In this Title,

“maintenance work” means maintenance work to which the Decree respecting building service employees in the Montréal region (chapter D-2, r. 15) or the Decree respecting building service employees in the Québec region (chapter D-2, r. 16) applies;

“maintenance work business” means a person who has an establishment in Québec and causes maintenance work to be performed, in whole or in part, by a subcontractor, except a person who is the owner, lessee or administrator of the public building in which the maintenance work is to be performed;

“maintenance work contract” means a contract or part of a contract that is entered into between a maintenance work business and a subcontractor, is carried out in Québec and provides for maintenance work;

“person” includes a partnership;

“subcontractor” means a person who has an establishment in Québec and performs maintenance work.

For the purposes of this Title, the following rules apply:

(a)  the cost of a maintenance work contract is determined without reference to the Québec sales tax or the goods and services tax in respect of the contract;

(b)  except for determining, for the purposes of subparagraph b of the first paragraph of section 1079.8.34.2, the cost of the maintenance work contracts entered into between a subcontractor and a maintenance work business in a calendar year, every contract entered into between a maintenance work business and a subcontractor, while the subcontractor is holding a valid certificate referred to in section 1079.8.34.2 because of another maintenance work contract entered into between them, is deemed to be the same contract as that other contract; and

(c)  where the portion of the cost of a maintenance work contract entered into before 1 January 2021 that is attributable to maintenance work performed after 31 December 2020 is equal to or greater than $10,000, or where under an indeterminate-term maintenance work contract entered into before 1 January 2021, maintenance work is performed after 31 December 2020, the following rules apply:

i.  the contract is deemed to have been entered into on 1 January 2021 and, if the maintenance work provided for in the contract began before that date, is deemed to have begun on that date, and

ii.  the first amount that the maintenance work business is required to report under the second paragraph of section 1079.8.34.3, in relation to the maintenance work contract, must include any amount that has been billed to it by the subcontractor before 1 January 2021 for maintenance work provided for in the contract and performed after 31 December 2020.

2020, c. 5, s. 15.

1079.8.34.2. A subcontractor must hold a valid certificate from Revenu Québec throughout the period that begins on the date of the beginning of the maintenance work provided for in a particular maintenance work contract entered into by the subcontractor in a calendar year and after 31 December 2020 with a maintenance work business and that ends on the date of the end of the maintenance work provided for in the contract, where

(a)  the particular maintenance work contract is an indeterminate-term contract;

(b)  the total cost of the particular maintenance work contract and of the maintenance work contracts they entered into with each other previously in the calendar year, or the total cost of such contracts they entered into in a previous calendar year, is equal to or greater than $10,000; or

(c)  the subcontractor and the maintenance work business have previously entered into a contract with each other in respect of which this section has applied because of subparagraph a.

A subcontractor who entered into a maintenance work contract with a maintenance work business must give the business a copy of each certificate the subcontractor is required to hold under the first paragraph, on or before the day on which the maintenance work provided for in the contract begins or, in the case of a subsequent certificate, the day that follows the last day of the period of validity of the preceding certificate.

This section does not apply to a subcontractor who, on the day the maintenance work provided for in the contract begins, does not hold a registration certificate issued under Title I of the Act respecting the Québec sales tax (chapter T-0.1).

However, where the subcontractor becomes, after the day referred to in the third paragraph and before the day on which the maintenance work provided for in the contract ends, the holder of a registration certificate under Title I of the Act respecting the Québec sales tax, the following rules apply:

(a)  the contract is deemed to have been entered into on the particular date that is 30 days after the date on which the subcontractor became the holder of such a certificate and the maintenance work provided for in the contract is deemed to have begun on the particular date; and

(b)  the first amount that the maintenance work business is required to report under the second paragraph of section 1079.8.34.3, in relation to the maintenance work contract, must include any amount that was billed to it by the subcontractor before the particular date for maintenance work provided for in the contract and performed after that date.

For the purposes of subparagraph b of the first paragraph, no reference is to be made to the portion of the cost of a maintenance work contract attributable to maintenance work performed before 1 January 2021.

2020, c. 5, s. 15.

1079.8.34.3. A maintenance work business that has entered into a particular maintenance work contract with a subcontractor must obtain from the subcontractor a copy of each certificate that the subcontractor is required to hold under the first paragraph of section 1079.8.34.2 because of that contract, ensure that it is valid and verify its authenticity in the prescribed manner, on or before the day on which the maintenance work provided for in the contract begins or, in the case of a subsequent certificate, the day that follows the last day of the period of validity of the preceding certificate.

The maintenance work business described in the first paragraph must also, on or before the day provided for in the third paragraph, report, in the prescribed manner, an amount that is the aggregate of the amounts that it was billed by the subcontractor in relation to the maintenance work provided for in the particular maintenance work contract, in each of the quarters ending on 31 March, 30 June, 30 September and 31 December in a year.

The day to which the second paragraph refers is the last day of the month following the month in which the quarter referred to in that paragraph ends.

The first amount that the maintenance work business must report under the second paragraph must also include any amount billed in respect of the particular contract before the beginning of the maintenance work.

This section does not apply to a maintenance work business that, on the day the maintenance work provided for in a contract begins, does not hold a registration certificate issued under Title I of the Act respecting the Québec sales tax (chapter T-0.1).

However, where the maintenance work business becomes, after the day referred to in the fifth paragraph and before the day on which the maintenance work provided for in the contract ends, the holder of a registration certificate under Title I of the Act respecting the Québec sales tax, this section applies to the maintenance work business as if the maintenance work provided for in the contract has begun on the date that is 30 days after the date on which the business became the holder of such a certificate.

2020, c. 5, s. 15.

1079.8.34.4. Applications for a certificate from Revenu Québec must be made in the manner provided for in section 1079.8.19.

A certificate from Revenu Québec is issued to a person who, on the date specified in the certificate, has filed the returns and reports required under fiscal laws and has no overdue amount payable under such laws; this is the case, in particular, where recovery of such an amount has been legally suspended or, if arrangements have been made with the person to ensure payment of the amount, the person has not defaulted on the payment arrangements.

Where a partnership is registered with Revenu Québec as an employer, a certificate is issued to it only if, on the date specified in the certificate, it meets the conditions of the second paragraph and has performed, as at that date, all the obligations of a fiscal law imposed on its members, as employers.

A certificate is valid until the end of the three-month period (in this Title referred to as the “period of validity”) following the month in which it was issued.

2020, c. 5, s. 15.

1079.8.34.5. A subcontractor who fails to comply with any of the obligations provided for in section 1079.8.34.2, in relation to a particular maintenance work contract entered into with a maintenance work business, incurs—for each of the quarters that end on 31 March, 30 June, 30 September and 31 December in a year and in which the subcontractor failed to comply with such an obligation—a penalty equal to the greater of

(a)  $175; and

(b)  the lesser of

i.  the product obtained by multiplying the amount that is 0.2% of the aggregate of the amounts billed under the particular contract, without reference to the Québec sales tax or the goods and services tax, by the subcontractor to the maintenance work business in that quarter by the number of days of non-compliance included in that quarter, and

ii.  $950.

2020, c. 5, s. 15.

1079.8.34.6. A maintenance work business that fails to comply with any of the obligations provided for in section 1079.8.34.3, in relation to a particular maintenance work contract entered into with a subcontractor, incurs—for each particular quarter referred to in the second paragraph of section 1079.8.34.3 in which the business failed to comply with an obligation provided for in the first paragraph of that section or in respect of which the business failed to comply with the obligation provided for in the second paragraph of that section—a penalty equal to the greater of

(a)  $350; and

(b)  the lesser of

i.  the product obtained by multiplying the amount that is 0.4% of the aggregate of the amounts billed under the particular contract, without reference to the Québec sales tax or the goods and services tax, by the subcontractor to the maintenance work business in the particular quarter by the greater of

(1)  the number of days during which the non-compliance of an obligation referred to in the first paragraph of section 1079.8.34.3 continues and that are included in the particular quarter, and

(2)  the number of days during which the non-compliance of an obligation referred to in the second paragraph of section 1079.8.34.3 in respect of the particular quarter continues, up to 90, and

ii.  $2,850.

However, the maintenance work business may not incur, in respect of the same failure to comply, both the penalty provided for in the first paragraph and the penalty provided for in section 59 of the Tax Administration Act (chapter A-6.002).

2020, c. 5, s. 15.

1079.8.34.7. In the case of a subsequent failure during the three years after the date on which a notice of assessment imposing a penalty provided for in section 1079.8.34.5 or 1079.8.34.6 is sent, the amount of the penalty that would otherwise be determined under either of those sections in respect of the subsequent failure is doubled.

2020, c. 5, s. 15.

2015, c. 8, s. 89; 2021, c. 15, s. 5.

1079.8.42. When proof is provided under section 1079.8.41 by an affidavit of an employee of the Agence du revenu du Québec, it is not necessary to prove the employee’s signature or status as an employee, and the address of the office of the Agence du revenu du Québec being the usual place of work of the signatory is a sufficient indication of the signatory’s address.

TITLE I TAX AVOIDANCE

1972, c. 23; 1987, c. 67, s. 192.

1990, c. 59, s. 351; 2006, c. 13, s. 203; 2010, c. 25, s. 190; 2023, c. 19, s. 121.

1079.9.1. For the purposes of the definition of “promoter” in the first paragraph of section 1079.9 and section 1079.13.2, the following rules apply:

(a)  for the purpose of determining whether, at a particular time, a person or a partnership is associated with, or related to, another person or partnership, a partnership is deemed to be a corporation whose taxation year corresponds to its fiscal period and all the voting shares in the capital stock of which are owned at that time by each of its members in a proportion equal to the agreed proportion that would be determined in respect of the member for the partnership’s fiscal period if the fiscal period ended at that time; and

(b)  for the purpose of determining whether, at a particular time, a person or a partnership is related to another person or partnership, a trust is deemed to be a corporation all the voting shares in the capital stock of which

(2)  are owned at that time by such a beneficiary in a proportion equal to the proportion that the fair market value of the beneficial interest in the trust of the beneficiary is of the fair market value of the beneficial interests in the trust of all the beneficiaries, if subparagraph 1 does not apply and that time occurs before the distribution date,

ii.  if a beneficiary’s share of the accumulating income or capital of the trust depends on the exercise by any person of, or the failure by any person to exercise, a power to appoint, are owned at that time by the beneficiary, unless subparagraph i applies and that time occurs before the distribution date,

iii.  in any case where subparagraph ii does not apply, are owned at that time by the beneficiary in a proportion equal to the proportion that the fair market value of the beneficial interest in the trust of the beneficiary is of the fair market value of all beneficial interests in the trust, unless subparagraph i applies and that time occurs before the distribution date, and

2010, c. 25, s. 191.

1079.10. Where a transaction is an avoidance transaction, the tax consequences to a person shall be determined as is reasonable in the circumstances in order to deny a tax benefit that, but for this Title, would result, directly or indirectly, from that transaction or from a series of transactions that includes that transaction.

1990, c. 59, s. 351.

1079.11. An avoidance transaction is any transaction that, but for this Title, would result, directly or indirectly, in a tax benefit or that is part of a series of transactions, which series, but for this Title, would result, directly or indirectly, in a tax benefit, unless the transaction in either case may reasonably be considered to have been undertaken or arranged primarily for bona fide purposes.

For the purposes of the first paragraph, the following purposes of a transaction or a combination of them are not considered as bona fide purposes:

(a)  the obtainment of a tax benefit;

(b)  the reduction, avoidance or deferral of tax or of another amount payable as tax or in respect of tax under an Act of Canada or of a province, other than this Act; and

(c)  the increase of a refund of tax or of another amount as tax or in respect of tax under an Act of Canada or of a province, other than this Act.

1990, c. 59, s. 351; 1996, c. 39, s. 258; 2010, c. 25, s. 192.

1079.12. Section 1079.10 applies to a transaction only if it may reasonably be considered that

(a)  but for this Title, the transaction would directly or indirectly result in a misuse of the provisions of one or more of

i.  this Act,

ii.  the Act respecting the application of the Taxation Act (chapter I-4),

iii.  the Regulation respecting the Taxation Act (chapter I-3, r. 1),

iv.  a tax agreement, or

v.  any other legislative or regulatory provision that is relevant for computing the tax or another amount payable by a person or refundable to a person under this Act, or for determining an amount that is to be taken into account in that computation; or

(b)  the transaction would directly or indirectly result in an abuse having regard to the provisions referred to in paragraph a, other than this Title, read as a whole.

1990, c. 59, s. 351; 2006, c. 13, s. 204.

1079.13. Without restricting the generality of section 1079.10 and despite any other legislative or regulatory provision, in determining the tax consequences to a person as is reasonable in the circumstances in order to deny a tax benefit that, but for this Title, would result, directly or indirectly, from an avoidance transaction,

(a)  any deduction, exemption or exclusion in computing income, taxable income, taxable income earned in Canada or tax payable or any part thereof may be allowed or disallowed in whole or in part;

(b)  any deduction, exemption or exclusion referred to in paragraph a, any income, loss or other amount or part thereof may be allocated to any person;

(c)  the nature of any payment or other amount may be recharacterized;

However, the Minister may, after applying the first paragraph, make a reassessment or an additional assessment beyond the period that, in respect of the taxpayer, is referred to in paragraph a or a.0.1 of subsection 2 of section 1010, because of the application of section 1079.10 to the taxpayer in relation to a transaction, only to the extent that the reassessment or additional assessment may reasonably be considered to relate to the transaction.

1990, c. 59, s. 353.

1082.2. Where it is established that a transaction was entered into by persons dealing at arm’s length, bona fide and not pursuant to, or as part of, any other transaction and not to effect payment, in whole or in part, of an existing or future obligation, no party to the transaction is deemed, for the purposes of section 1082.1, to have conferred a benefit on the party with whom he was so dealing.

1990, c. 59, s. 353.

TITLE I.2 TRANSFER PRICING

2001, c. 7, s. 154.

1082.3. In this Title,

“tax benefit” has the meaning assigned by section 1079.9;

“transaction” includes an arrangement or event;

“transfer pricing capital adjustment” of a taxpayer for a taxation year means

(a)  an amount by which the adjusted cost base to the taxpayer of a capital property (other than a depreciable property) is reduced in the year because of an adjustment made under section 1082.4, or an amount by which the capital cost to the taxpayer of a depreciable property is reduced in the year because of an adjustment made under section 1082.4; or

(b)  the product obtained when the proportion that the taxpayer’s share of the income or loss of a partnership for a fiscal period that ends in the year is of the income or loss of the partnership for that fiscal period is multiplied by the amount by which the adjusted cost base to the partnership of a capital property (other than a depreciable property) is reduced in the fiscal period because of an adjustment made under section 1082.4 or by the amount by which the capital cost to the partnership of a depreciable property is reduced in the fiscal period because of an adjustment made under section 1082.4;

“transfer pricing income adjustment” of a taxpayer for a taxation year means the amount by which an adjustment made under section 1082.4, other than an adjustment included in determining a transfer pricing capital adjustment of the taxpayer for a taxation year, would result in an increase in the taxpayer’s income for the year or a decrease in a loss of the taxpayer for the year from a source if that adjustment were the only adjustment made under section 1082.4.

For the purposes of the definition of “transfer pricing capital adjustment” in the first paragraph, where the income and loss of a partnership for a fiscal period are nil, it shall be assumed that the income of the partnership for that fiscal period is equal to $1,000,000.

2001, c. 7, s. 154; 2003, c. 2, s. 284; 2004, c. 8, s. 183; 2005, c. 1, s. 276; 2006, c. 13, s. 206; 2019, c. 14, s. 433.

(a)  the terms and conditions made or imposed, in respect of the transaction or series of transactions, between any of the participants in the transaction or series of transactions differ from those that would have been made between persons dealing at arm’s length; or

(b)  the transaction or series of transactions would not have been entered into between persons dealing at arm’s length and can reasonably be considered not to have been entered into primarily for bona fide purposes other than to obtain a tax benefit.

Where the conditions set out in the first paragraph are met, any amounts (in section 1082.4.1 referred to as the “initial amounts”) that would be determined for the purposes of this Act (if this Act were read without reference to this Title and sections 1079.9 to 1079.16) in respect of the taxpayer or the partnership for a taxation year or fiscal period, as the case may be, are to be adjusted to the quantum or nature of the amounts (in section 1082.4.1 referred to as the “adjusted amounts”) that would have been determined if,

(a)  where only subparagraph a of the first paragraph applies, the terms and conditions made or imposed, in respect of the transaction or series of transactions, between the participants in the transaction or series of transactions had been those that would have been made between persons dealing at arm’s length; or

(b)  where subparagraph b of the first paragraph applies, the transaction or series of transactions entered into between the participants had been the transaction or series of transactions that would have been entered into between persons dealing at arm’s length, under terms and conditions that would have been made between persons dealing at arm’s length.

2001, c. 7, s. 154; 2021, c. 36, s. 145.

1104.1. Where a corporation so elects in the fiscal return it is required to file under this Act for a taxation year, each property of the corporation that is a share or indebtedness of another Canadian corporation that is, at any time in the year, a subsidiary wholly-owned corporation of the corporation is deemed, for the purposes of paragraphs b and f of section 1104 not to be owned by the corporation at that time, and each property owned by the other corporation at that time is deemed, for the purposes of the said paragraphs, to be owned by the corporation at that time.

(a)  the dividend is deemed to be a capital gains dividend payable out of the corporation’s capital gains dividend account, within the meaning of the regulations, to the extent that it does not exceed the corporation’s capital gains dividend account at that time;

(b)  despite any other provision of this Act, where an amount is received by a taxpayer in a taxation year as the dividend, the amount

i.  shall not be included in computing the taxpayer’s income for the year as income from a share of the capital stock of the corporation, and

1974, c. 18, s. 41; 1996, c. 39, s. 273; 1997, c. 3, s. 71.

(b)  despite any other provision of this Act, where an amount is received by a taxpayer in a taxation year as the dividend, the amount

i.  shall not be included in computing the taxpayer’s income for the year as income from a share of the capital stock of the corporation, and

ii.  is deemed to be a capital gain of the taxpayer from the disposition by the taxpayer of a capital property in the year.

1120.0.0.1. Where an amount (in this section and section 1120.0.0.2 referred to as the “allocated amount”) is paid or became payable to a beneficiary, in a taxation year, by a trust that is a mutual fund trust throughout the year, for the redemption of a unit of the trust that is owned by the beneficiary and where the beneficiary’s proceeds from the disposition of the unit do not include the allocated amount, in computing the trust’s income for the year no deduction may be made in respect of

(a)  the portion of the allocated amount that would be, but for paragraph a of section 657, an amount paid out of the income (other than taxable capital gains) of the trust; and

(b)  the portion of the allocated amount determined by the formula

A – 0.5 (B + C – D).

(b)  B is the beneficiary’s proceeds from the disposition of the unit on the redemption;

(c)  C is the allocated amount; and

(d)  D is the amount determined by the trustee to be the beneficiary’s cost amount of the unit, the trustee being required to use reasonable efforts to obtain the information required to determine the cost amount.

2022, c. 23, s. 130; 2023, c. 19, s. 122.

1120.0.0.2. The following rules apply in respect of the redemption of units of a mutual fund trust in a taxation year referred to in section 1120.0.0.1:

(a)  where all of the units offered in the taxation year by the mutual fund trust are listed on a designated stock exchange located in Canada and are in continuous distribution (in this section referred to as “exchange traded fund units”), subparagraph b of the first paragraph of section 1120.0.0.1 does not apply and no deduction may be made by the trust in computing its income for the taxation year in respect of the amount determined by the formula

A – [B/(C + B) × D]; and

(b)  where the units offered by the mutual fund trust include exchange traded fund units and units that are not exchange traded fund units (in this section referred to as “non-exchange traded fund units”), the following rules apply:

i.  in respect of redemptions of exchange traded fund units, subparagraph b of the first paragraph of section 1120.0.0.1 does not apply, subparagraph a applies and the second paragraph is to be read

(1)  as if subparagraph 2 of subparagraph ii of subparagraph b were replaced by the following subparagraph:

“(2) the portion of the net asset value of the trust at the end of the previous taxation year that relates to the exchange traded fund units;”,

(2)  as if subparagraph c were replaced by the following subparagraph:

“(c) C is the portion of the net asset value of the trust at the end of the taxation year that relates to the exchange traded fund units;”, and

(3)  as if subparagraph d were replaced by the following subparagraph:

“(d) D is the amount determined by the formula

E/C × F;”, and

ii.  in respect of redemptions of non-exchange traded fund units, in addition to the limitation provided for in subparagraph b of the first paragraph of section 1120.0.0.1, the aggregate of all amounts deductible in computing the trust’s income for the taxation year in respect of the portion of the allocated amounts determined under subparagraph a of the second paragraph of section 1120.0.0.1, in respect of non-exchange traded fund units, may not exceed the amount determined by the formula

G/C × F.

In the formulas in the first paragraph,

(a)  A is the portion of the aggregate of all allocated amounts for the taxation year in respect of redemptions of exchange traded fund units of the trust owned by beneficiaries of the trust during that taxation year that would be, but for paragraph a of section 657, amounts paid out of the trust’s taxable capital gains;

(b)  B is the lesser of

i.  the aggregate of the amounts paid for redemptions of exchange traded fund units in the taxation year, and

ii.  the greater of

(1)  the amount determined under subparagraph c, and

(2)  the net asset value of the trust at the end of the previous taxation year;

(c)  C is the net asset value of the trust at the end of the taxation year;

(d)  D is the amount that would be, but for paragraph a of section 657, the trust’s net taxable capital gains determined under section 668.3 for the taxation year;

(g)  G is the portion of the net asset value of the trust at the end of the taxation year that relates to the non-exchange traded fund units.

For the purposes of this section, “net asset value” has the meaning assigned by National Instrument 81-102 Investment Funds, as amended from time to time and published by the Canadian Securities Administrators.

2023, c. 19, s. 123.

1120.0.1.

1120.0.2. A trust is deemed to be a mutual fund trust throughout a calendar year where

(a)  at any time in the year, the trust would, but for this section, have ceased to be a mutual fund trust

i.  because the condition described in paragraph a of section 649 ceased to be satisfied,

ii.  because of the application of paragraph c of section 1120, or

iii.  because the trust ceased to exist;

(b)  the trust was a mutual fund trust at the beginning of the year; and

(c)  the trust would, throughout the portion of the year throughout which it was in existence, have been a mutual fund trust if

i.  in the case where the condition described in paragraph a of section 649 was satisfied at any time in the year, that condition was satisfied throughout the year,

ii.  section 1120 were read without reference to paragraph c thereof, and

iii.  this Book were read without reference to this section.

2003, c. 2, s. 295.

1120.1. Where, at any time, it may reasonably be considered that a trust, having regard to all the circumstances, including the terms and conditions of the units of the trust, was established or exists primarily for the benefit of persons not resident in Canada, the trust is deemed not to be a mutual fund trust after that time unless

(a)  at that time, all or substantially all of its property is property other than property that would be taxable Canadian property of the trust if section 1094 was read without reference to its paragraph b; or

(b)  the trust has not issued any units, other than units referred to in the second paragraph, after 20 February 1990 and before that time to a person who, after reasonable inquiry, it had reason to believe was not resident in Canada, except where the units were issued to that person under an agreement in writing entered into before 21 February 1990.

The units to which subparagraph b of the first paragraph refers are the following:

(a)  a unit issued to a person as a payment of an amount out of the trust’s income determined before the application of sections 657 and 657.1, or out of the trust’s capital gains; or

(b)  a unit issued to a person in consideration for the person’s right to enforce payment of an amount out of the trust’s income or capital gains referred to in subparagraph a.

1993, c. 16, s. 354; 1996, c. 39, s. 273; 2004, c. 8, s. 197; 2009, c. 5, s. 508.

1121. Part I applies to a mutual fund trust except that in section 667 the expression “dividend other than a taxable dividend” must be replaced by the expression “capital dividend”.

1972, c. 23, s. 836; 1996, c. 39, s. 273.

1121.1. For the purposes of Part I, where a trust in its fiscal return filed under this Part for a taxation year throughout which it was a mutual fund trust designates a particular amount, established for the year under section 1121.2, in respect of a particular unit of the trust owned by a taxpayer at any time in the year, the following rules apply:

(a)  the particular amount shall, subject to section 1121.4, be deductible in computing the income of the trust for the year;

(b)  the particular amount shall be included in computing the income of the taxpayer for his taxation year in which the year of the trust ends, except that where the particular unit was owned by two or more taxpayers during the year, such part of the particular amount as the trust may determine shall, if the aggregate of all such parts is equal to that particular amount, be included in computing the income of each such taxpayer for his taxation year in which the year of the trust ends.

1990, c. 59, s. 362; 1996, c. 39, s. 273.

1121.2. The particular amount referred to in section 1121.1 for a taxation year of a mutual fund trust in respect of a particular unit thereof is equal to the aggregate of

(a)  such amount as the trust may determine in respect of the particular unit for the year not exceeding the amount by which the aggregate of all amounts determined by it under section 670, as that section read before being repealed, for its taxation years commencing before 1 January 1988 exceeds the aggregate of those determined by it under this paragraph for the year or a preceding taxation year in respect of all its units, except the amount determined by it in respect of the particular unit for the year under this paragraph;

(b)  such amount as the trust may determine in respect of the particular unit for the year not exceeding the amount by which the aggregate of all amounts described in subparagraph i.1 of paragraph n of section 257 that became payable by the trust after 31 December 1987 and before the year exceeds the aggregate of those determined by it under this paragraph for the year or a preceding taxation year in respect of all its units, except the amount determined by it in respect of the particular unit for the year under this paragraph.

1990, c. 59, s. 362; 1996, c. 39, s. 273; 1997, c. 31, s. 132.

1121.3. A taxpayer shall add, in computing, at any time in his taxation year, the adjusted cost base to him of a unit in a mutual fund trust, that part of the amount included in computing his income under section 1121.1 that is reasonably attributable to the amount determined under paragraph b of section 1121.2 by the trust for its taxation year ending in the year in respect of the unit owned by the taxpayer.

1990, c. 59, s. 362; 1996, c. 39, s. 273.

1121.4. The aggregate of amounts deductible under paragraph a of section 1121.1 in computing the income of a trust for a taxation year shall not exceed the amount that would be the income of the trust for the year if no deductions were allowed under paragraph a of section 657 and section 1121.1.

1990, c. 59, s. 362.

1121.5. For the purposes of paragraph a of section 1121.1 and section 1121.4, the amount by which the aggregate of all amounts each of which is an amount designated by a trust for a particular taxation year under section 1121.1 exceeds the amount deductible under section 1121.1 in computing its income for the particular year is deemed to be an amount designated by the trust under section 1121.1 for its taxation year following the particular year.

1990, c. 59, s. 362.

1121.6. For the purposes of paragraph a of section 1121.1, a particular amount designated under the said section for a taxation year of a mutual fund trust in respect of a unit of the trust owned at any time in the year by a taxpayer who was a person exempt from tax under this Part by reason of Book VIII of Part I shall have no effect where it is reasonable to conclude that an amount determined by the trust under paragraph a or b of section 1121.2 for the year in respect of the unit or, in respect of the amount designated, under paragraph b of section 1121.1 differs from the amount that would have been so determined for the year in respect of the taxpayer had he not been such a person.

1990, c. 59, s. 362; 1996, c. 39, s. 273.

1121.7. Despite any other provision of this Act and subject to the second paragraph, if a trust has made a valid election under subsection 1 of section 132.11 of the Income Tax Act (R.S.C. 1985, c. 1 (5th Suppl.)), other than an election in respect of which the rules set out in subsection 1.1 of section 132.11 of that Act apply as a result of an application made by the trust under that subsection 1.1 and granted by the Minister of National Revenue before 20 December 2006, the following rules apply:

(b)  if a taxation year of the trust (determined for the purposes of the Income Tax Act) ends, because of paragraph a of subsection 1 of section 132.11 of that Act, on 15 December of a particular calendar year, each of its taxation years (determined for the purposes of this Act) that end after that date is deemed, subject to section 1121.7.1, to be the period that begins on 16 December of a calendar year and ends on 15 December of the following calendar year or at such earlier time as is determined under paragraph a or b of section 6.2, paragraph a.1 of section 785.1, paragraph b of section 785.5 or paragraph a.1 of section 851.22.23.

If, because of a particular election made under subsection 1 of section 132.11 of the Income Tax Act, a particular taxation year of a trust (determined for the purposes of that Act) ended on 15 December 2006 and if a taxation year of the trust (determined for the purposes of this Act) ended on 31 December 2005, the following rules apply:

(a)  if paragraph a of subsection 1.1 of section 132.11 of that Act does not apply in respect of the taxation year of the trust that follows the particular taxation year,

i.  subparagraph b of the first paragraph does not apply in respect of a taxation year of the trust (determined for the purposes of this Act) that began before 16 December 2007, and

ii.  the taxation year of the trust (determined for the purposes of this Act) that includes 15 December 2007 is deemed to end on that date and a new taxation year of the trust (determined for the purposes of this Act) is deemed to begin immediately after that date; and

(b)  if paragraph a of subsection 1.1 of section 132.11 of that Act applies in respect of the taxation year of the trust that follows the particular taxation year, the first paragraph applies as if the particular election had not been made.

1121.7.1. If, for the purposes of this Act, a particular taxation year of a trust ends on 15 December of a calendar year because of an election referred to in section 1121.7 or because of the second paragraph of that section, if the trust applies to the Minister of National Revenue, in accordance with subsection 1.1 of section 132.11 of the Income Tax Act (R.S.C. 1985, c. 1 (5th Suppl.)), to have that subsection 1.1 apply in relation to its taxation years that follow the particular year, and if the Minister of National Revenue grants the application after 19 December 2006, the following rules apply:

(a)  the trust’s taxation year following the particular year is deemed to begin immediately after the end of the particular year and end at the end of that calendar year; and

(b)  each subsequent taxation year of the trust is deemed to be determined as if that election had not been made.

Chapter V.2 of Title II of Book I of Part I applies in relation to an application made under subsection 1.1 of section 132.11 of the Income Tax Act and granted by the Minister of National Revenue.

1121.8. Where a trust is a member of a partnership a fiscal period of a business or property of which ends in a calendar year after 15 December of the year and a particular taxation year of the trust ends on 15 December of the year because of section 1121.7, each amount otherwise determined under paragraph f or g of section 600 to be the trust’s income or loss for a taxation year subsequent to that year is deemed to be the trust’s income or loss determined under that paragraph for the particular year and not for the subsequent year.

2001, c. 53, s. 251.

1121.9. Where a particular trust is a beneficiary under another trust a taxation year of which, in this section referred to as the "other year", ends in a calendar year after 15 December of the year and a particular taxation year of the particular trust ends on 15 December of the year because of section 1121.7, each amount otherwise determined or designated under section 663, 666, 668, 669.3 or 671 for the other year that would otherwise be included, or taken into account, in computing the income of the particular trust for a taxation year subsequent to that year shall be included, or taken into account, in computing the particular trust’s income for the particular year and not be included, or taken into account, in computing the particular trust’s income for the subsequent year.

(a)  notwithstanding any other provision of this Act, where the beneficiary did not exist at that time, except for the purposes of this paragraph, the first taxation year of the beneficiary is deemed to include the period that begins at that time and ends immediately before the beginning of the first taxation year of the beneficiary;

(b)  the beneficiary is deemed to exist throughout the period described in paragraph a; and

(c)  where the beneficiary was not a beneficiary under the trust at that time, the beneficiary is deemed to have been a beneficiary under the trust at that time.

2001, c. 53, s. 251.

1121.12.

(c)  (paragraph repealed).

2001, c. 53, s. 251.

1121.14. Section 1121.13 does not apply in computing the income of a trust for a taxation year where it is reasonable to consider that the designation under section 1121.12 for the preceding taxation year was part of a series of transactions or events that includes a change in the composition of beneficiaries under the trust.

BOOK V NON-RESIDENT OWNED INVESTMENT CORPORATIONS

1972, c. 23; 1997, c. 3, s. 71.

1122. A non-resident owned investment corporation is a corporation incorporated in Canada which, throughout the period comprised between 18 June 1971 or the date of its incorporation, if the latter date is later than the first, and the last day of the taxation year for which the expression is relevant, has met the following requirements:

(a)  the aggregate of its issued shares, bonds, debentures and other long-term liabilities

i.  belonged to persons not resident in Canada other than a foreign affiliate of a taxpayer resident in Canada,

ii.  belonged to a trustee who held them for a beneficiary not resident in Canada or for a child to be born to such beneficiary, or

iii.  belonged to another non-resident owned investment corporation whose issued shares, bonds, debentures and other long-term liabilities were those described in subparagraphs i and ii or belonged to two or more corporations of that kind;

(b)  its income, for each taxation year of the period, was derived from

i.  the ownership of or trading in bonds, shares, debentures, bills, notes, hypothecary claims, mortgages or other similar property, or an interest therein,

ii.  lending money, with or without security,

iii.  rents, the leasing of movable property, fees or remuneration from charter-parties, annuities, royalties, interest or dividends,

iv.  a succession or a trust, or

v.  the disposition of capital property;

(c)  not more than 10 per cent of its gross revenue, for each taxation year of the period, was derived from rents, the rental of movable property, fees or remuneration from charter-parties; and

(d)  its principal business did not consist, for each taxation year of the period, in lending money or trading in the property contemplated in subparagraph i of paragraph b or of an interest therein.

1972, c. 23, s. 837; 1996, c. 39, s. 268; 1997, c. 3, s. 71; 1997, c. 14, s. 262; 1998, c. 16, s. 251; 2005, c. 1, s. 281.

1122.1. Notwithstanding section 1122, a corporation is not a non-resident-owned investment corporation in any taxation year that ends after the earlier of,

(a)  the first time after 27 February 2000 at which the corporation effects an increase in capital; and

(b)  the end of the corporation’s last taxation year that begins before 1 January 2003.

For the purposes of subparagraph a of the first paragraph, an increase in capital in respect of a corporation means a transaction, other than a transaction carried out pursuant to an agreement in writing made before 28 February 2000 and referred to in this paragraph as a “specified transaction”, in the course of which the corporation issues additional shares of its capital stock or incurs indebtedness, if the transaction has the effect of increasing the aggregate of the corporation’s liabilities and the fair market value of all the shares of its capital stock to an amount that is substantially greater than that aggregate would have been on 27 February 2000 if all specified transactions had been carried out before that date.

2004, c. 8, s. 201.

1123. A non-resident owned investment corporation qualifies as such for a taxation year only if it meets the prescribed conditions.

1972, c. 23, s. 838; 1976, c. 18, s. 24; 1997, c. 3, s. 71.

1124. Notwithstanding section 1122, a new corporation, within the meaning given to it by section 544, formed by the amalgamation after 18 June 1971, of two or more replaced corporations shall qualify as a corporation contemplated in section 1122 only if the replaced corporations were themselves non-resident owned investment corporations immediately before the amalgamation.

1972, c. 23, s. 839; 1997, c. 3, s. 71.

1125. Except for the purposes of sections 544 and 566 to 568, a non-resident owned investment corporation which would, but for this section, be a Canadian corporation, a taxable Canadian corporation or a private corporation, is nevertheless deemed not to be such a corporation.

1972, c. 23, s. 840; 1973, c. 17, s. 132; 1978, c. 26, s. 213; 1986, c. 19, s. 205; 1997, c. 3, s. 71.

1125.1. If a non-resident-owned investment corporation makes, at a particular time, a valid election for the purposes of subsection 1 of section 134.2 of the Income Tax Act (R.S.C. 1985, c. 1 (5th Suppl.)), a new taxation year of the corporation is deemed to begin at that time.

Where an election to which the first paragraph refers was made, the prescribed form, together with a copy of every document transmitted to the Minister of Revenue of Canada in connection with that election, shall be transmitted to the Minister.

2004, c. 8, s. 202; 2009, c. 5, s. 511.

1126. Except for the purposes of section 1122, the income for a taxation year of a non-resident owned investment corporation having an establishment in Québec at any time during the year must be computed by taking into account only the taxable capital gains and allowable capital losses of the corporation for the year resulting from the disposition of taxable Canadian property within the meaning of section 1095.

1976, c. 18, s. 25; 1997, c. 3, s. 71; 2004, c. 8, s. 203.

1127. The taxable income for a taxation year of the corporation contemplated in section 1126 is its income for the year determined in accordance with the said section from which the corporation may deduct no amount other than that prescribed for the year under section 729 in respect of the disposition of property contemplated in section 1126.

1976, c. 18, s. 25; 1985, c. 25, s. 163; 1997, c. 3, s. 71.

1128. A non-resident owned investment corporation which does not have, at any time in a taxation year, an establishment in Canada and which disposes of a taxable Québec property within the meaning of paragraphs a and b of section 1094 must pay tax for the year at the rate established in subsection 1 of section 771 on the amount by which its taxable capital gains for the year resulting from the disposition of such property exceed the aggregate of its allowable capital losses for the year resulting from the disposition of such property and the net capital losses incurred by it in respect of the disposition of such property during the preceding taxation years and the three taxation years following the taxation year.

However, such tax shall not exceed that which the corporation would have to pay for the year if the expression “taxable Québec property within the meaning of paragraphs a and b of section 1094” contained in the first paragraph were replaced by the expression “taxable Canadian property within the meaning of section 1095” to the extent that such section refers to paragraphs a and b of section 1094.

1976, c. 18, s. 25; 1987, c. 21, s. 86; 1991, c. 8, s. 94; 1992, c. 1, s. 203; 1997, c. 3, s. 71; 2004, c. 8, s. 204.

1129. Except where otherwise provided in this Book, Part I applies, with the necessary modifications, to a non-resident owned investment corporation.

1972, c. 23, s. 842; 1976, c. 18, s. 27; 1995, c. 63, s. 261; 1997, c. 3, s. 71.

1129.0.0.2. If, at a particular time after 21 April 2005, a person or partnership has obtained a benefit or advantage that, for the purpose of computing an amount that a taxpayer is deemed to have paid to the Minister for any given taxation year under a particular provision of Chapter III.1 of Title III of Book IX of Part I other than a provision of any of Divisions II.6 to II.6.0.0.5 of that chapter, or deemed to have overpaid to the Minister in relation to any given taxation year, under section 34.1.9 of the Act respecting the Régie de l’assurance maladie du Québec (chapter R-5), would have been taken into account in computing a cost, an expenditure or expenses, or the taxpayer’s share of a cost, an expenditure or expenses, if the person or partnership had obtained it, had been entitled to obtain it or could reasonably have expected to obtain it on or before the taxpayer’s filing-due date for the given taxation year or on or before the day that is six months after the end of the fiscal period of a particular partnership of which the taxpayer is a member that ends in the given taxation year, the benefit or advantage is, for the purposes of the Part among Parts III.0.1 to III.0.3, III.1.0.6 to III.1.7, III.7.1 to III.10.10 and III.12.1 that relates to the particular provision,

ii.  an amount relating to the cost, expenditure or expenses or relating to the taxpayer’s share of the cost, expenditure or expenses that is paid to the taxpayer at that time, when the benefit or advantage was obtained by the taxpayer or by a person with whom the taxpayer does not deal at arm’s length; and

(c)  if the cost, expenditure or expenses were incurred by any corporation other than the taxpayer, deemed to be an amount relating to the cost, expenditure or expenses that is paid to the corporation at that time.

However, when the first paragraph applies to any of the Parts mentioned in the following subparagraphs, it is to be read as if

(a)  in the case of Part III.0.1, the portion before subparagraph a was read without reference to “or on or before the day that is six months after the end of the fiscal period of a particular partnership of which the taxpayer is a member that ends in the given taxation year”;

(b)  in the case of any of Parts III.0.1, III.7.1 and III.10.2, subparagraph b was replaced by the following subparagraph:

1129.0.0.3. If, at a particular time after 21 April 2005, a person or partnership has obtained, is entitled to obtain or may reasonably expect to obtain a benefit or advantage that, for the purpose of computing an amount that a taxpayer is deemed to have paid to the Minister for any given taxation year under a particular provision of any of Divisions II.6 to II.6.0.0.5 of Chapter III.1 of Title III of Book IX of Part I, would have been taken into account in computing an expenditure or expenses if the person or partnership had obtained it, had been entitled to obtain it or could reasonably have expected to obtain it on or before the taxpayer’s filing-due date for the given taxation year, the benefit or advantage is deemed, for the purposes of the Part among Parts III.1 to III.1.0.5 that relates to the particular provision, to be non-government assistance that the taxpayer has received, is entitled to receive or may reasonably expect to receive, as the case may be, at that particular time.

2007, c. 12, s. 224.

1129.0.0.4. If, at a particular time after 21 April 2005, a person or partnership pays, pursuant to a legal obligation, a particular amount that may reasonably be considered to be the repayment of a benefit or advantage that, for the purpose of computing an amount (in this section referred to as the “credit amount”) that a taxpayer is deemed to have paid to the Minister for any given taxation year under a particular provision of any of Divisions II.6.0.1.7 and II.6.6.1 to II.6.7 of Chapter III.1 of Title III of Book IX of Part I, was taken into account in computing an expenditure or the taxpayer’s share of an expenditure, the following rules have effect, where applicable, for the purposes of the Part among Parts III.1.1.7 and III.10.1.2 to III.10.2 that relates to the particular provision:

(a)  if the expenditure was incurred by the taxpayer, the provision of that Part that applies in respect of the repayment by the taxpayer of an amount of government assistance or non-government assistance relating to the expenditure also applies in respect of the repayment of the benefit or advantage as if

i.  the particular amount were an amount paid by the taxpayer at that time, pursuant to a legal obligation, as the repayment of non-government assistance referred to in that provision, and

ii.  for the purpose of computing the credit amount for the given taxation year, the benefit or advantage had not been treated as a benefit or advantage but as non-government assistance that, in relation to the expenditure, was received by the taxpayer;

(b)  if the expenditure was incurred by a particular partnership of which the taxpayer is a member, the provision of that Part that applies in respect of the repayment by the partnership of an amount of government assistance or non-government assistance relating to the expenditure also applies in respect of the repayment of the benefit or advantage as if

i.  the particular amount were an amount paid by the particular partnership at that time, pursuant to a legal obligation, as the repayment of non-government assistance referred to in that provision, and

ii.  for the purpose of computing the credit amount for the given taxation year, the benefit or advantage had not been treated as a benefit or advantage but as non-government assistance that, in relation to the expenditure, was received by the particular partnership;

(c)  if the expenditure was incurred by any corporation other than the taxpayer, the provision of that Part that applies in respect of the repayment by the corporation of an amount of government assistance or non-government assistance relating to the expenditure also applies in respect of the repayment of the benefit or advantage as if

i.  the particular amount were an amount paid by the corporation at that time, pursuant to a legal obligation, as the repayment of non-government assistance referred to in that provision, and

ii.  for the purpose of computing the credit amount for the given taxation year, the benefit or advantage had not been treated as a benefit or advantage but as non-government assistance that, in relation to the expenditure, was received by the corporation; and

(d)  the assumptions that, because of the application of any of subparagraphs a to c, were made in respect of the benefit or advantage must be taken into account for the purpose of applying, in relation to the taxpayer, the provision to which that subparagraph refers, in respect of the repayment, after that time, of government assistance or non-government assistance or of another benefit or advantage, relating to the expenditure or to such an expenditure.

However, for the purposes of Part III.10.2, subparagraph c of the first paragraph is to be read as follows:

“(c) if the expenditure was incurred by a person other than the taxpayer or by a partnership other than the particular partnership to which subparagraph b refers, the provision of that Part that applies in respect of the repayment by the person or partnership of an amount of government assistance or non-government assistance relating to the expenditure also applies in respect of the repayment of the benefit or advantage as if

i. the particular amount were an amount paid by the person or partnership at that time, pursuant to a legal obligation, as the repayment of non-government assistance referred to in that provision, and

ii. for the purpose of computing the credit amount for the given taxation year, the benefit or advantage had not been treated as a benefit or advantage but as non-government assistance that, in relation to the expenditure, was received by the person or partnership.”

(a)  the taxpayer is deemed to be a member of a particular partnership at the end of a particular fiscal period of the particular partnership and that particular fiscal period is deemed to end in the taxpayer’s taxation year in which ends the fiscal period of the interposed partnership of which the taxpayer is directly a member, if

i.  the particular fiscal period is that which ends in the fiscal period (in this section referred to as the “interposed fiscal period”) of the interposed partnership that is a member of the particular partnership at the end of that particular fiscal period, and

ii.  the taxpayer is a member, or deemed to be a member under this paragraph, of the interposed partnership described in subparagraph i at the end of the interposed partnership’s interposed fiscal period;

(b)  the agreed proportion in respect of the taxpayer for the given partnership’s given fiscal period is deemed to be equal to the product obtained by multiplying the agreed proportion in respect of the taxpayer for the interposed fiscal period of the interposed partnership of which the taxpayer is directly a member, by

i.  if there is only one interposed partnership, the agreed proportion in respect of the interposed partnership for the given partnership’s given fiscal period, or

ii.  if there is more than one interposed partnership, the result obtained by multiplying together all proportions each of which is the agreed proportion in respect of an interposed partnership for the particular fiscal period of the particular partnership referred to in paragraph a of which the interposed partnership is a member at the end of that particular fiscal period; and

(c)  if, at a particular time in the given fiscal period, an amount relating to a cost, an expenditure or expenses that the given partnership has incurred in the preceding fiscal period is, or is deemed to be under this subparagraph, directly or indirectly, refunded or otherwise paid to an interposed partnership, or allocated to a payment to be made by it, the share in that amount of each of the members of that interposed partnership at the end of the interposed partnership’s interposed fiscal period, that is equal to the agreed proportion of that amount in respect of that member for the interposed partnership’s interposed fiscal period, is deemed to be, at the particular time, so refunded or paid to that member or allocated to a payment to be made by that member.

For the purposes of section 1037 in respect of the tax, the person’s balance-due day for that taxation year is deemed to be the date on which the notice of assessment is sent, unless that date is later than the balance-due day.

Sections 1000 to 1000.3 and 1002 to 1004 do not apply in relation to a tax that may be the subject of an assessment made under the first paragraph, despite any provision to the contrary in the Part under which the tax is payable.

(a)  the eligible e-commerce solution ceased to be eligible, for all or part of the particular year, as the case may be, because the conditions set out in paragraphs a and b of the definition of “eligible e-commerce solution” in the first paragraph of section 1029.8.21.32 had not been satisfied or had not again been satisfied, as the case may be, in respect of the corporation, on or before 31 March 2003; or

(b)  in the case provided for in subparagraph b of the first paragraph, the amount by which the portion of the particular expenditure that may reasonably be attributed to the cost of application software, unless the portion is included in computing an amount that is deemed to be refunded under subparagraph a, exceeds the aggregate of all amounts each of which is an amount that relates to the portion of the particular expenditure that, in a fiscal period preceding the fiscal period of repayment but subsequent to the particular fiscal period, was refunded, otherwise paid or allocated to a payment to be made by the partnership or corporation.

For the purposes of the second paragraph, an amount that is refunded or otherwise paid to the corporation or allocated to a payment to be made by the corporation, in relation to the portion of a particular expenditure, is deemed to be an amount

(a)  that is refunded or otherwise paid to the partnership, or allocated to a payment to be made by the partnership; and

(b)  that is determined by multiplying the amount refunded, paid or allocated by the proportion that the income or loss of the partnership for the fiscal period of repayment is of the corporation’s share of that income or loss, on the assumption that, if the partnership’s income and loss for that fiscal period are nil, the partnership’s income is equal to $1,000,000.

No tax is payable for a taxation year under section 1129.0.17 in respect of any amount that is refunded or otherwise paid to the partnership or corporation, or is allocated to a payment to be made by the partnership or corporation, if that amount is included in an amount that is deemed to have been refunded, under this section, in a fiscal period of the partnership that ends in the taxation year or in a preceding taxation year.

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.

2002, c. 40, s. 263; 2003, c. 9, s. 396; 2004, c. 21, s. 455; 2007, c. 12, s. 246.

The amount that the corporation may deduct in respect of the balance referred to in the second paragraph is to be determined as if the reference to the tax otherwise payable under this Part were a reference to the portion of the tax otherwise payable under this Part by the corporation for the particular year that may reasonably be attributed to the carrying on of that business and, if the corporation sold, leased, rented or developed properties or rendered services in the course of carrying on that business before that time, of any other business substantially all the income of which is derived from the sale, leasing, rental or development, as the case may be, of similar properties, or the rendering of similar services.

(a)  the paid-up capital stock and any other participating interest in the nature of capital stock;

(b)  the surpluses, provisions and reserves, except those for amortization or depletion, those permitted by Part I to the extent that they were deducted in computing income under that Part and those for losses, in respect of a contract of lease or of leasing, that a corporation carrying on lease or leasing activities cannot deduct in computing its income under that Part;

i.  the amount that would be the corporation’s deficit if only the eligible activities were taken into account, and

ii.  the amount by which the amount that would be the corporation’s surpluses if no reference were made to the eligible activities, exceeds the amount of the surpluses that are included in computing the corporation’s paid-up capital for the taxation year under paragraph b;

(b)  the corporation may deduct in computing its paid-up capital its share of the unallocated deficit shown in the partnership’s financial statements, except to the extent that the share is otherwise deducted in computing the corporation’s paid-up capital or to the extent that the Minister is of the opinion that the generally accepted accounting principles do not allow for the share to be so deducted in computing the corporation’s paid-up capital.

However, the corporation shall not include nor deduct in computing its paid-up capital any amount shown in the financial statements of the partnership or joint venture resulting from an operation between the partnership or the joint venture and its members.

(2.1.1)  Bankers’ acceptances and other similar securities the drawer of which is a corporation authorized to receive deposits of money and not referred to in subparagraph ii of paragraph d.2 of subsection 1 are deemed not to be bankers’ acceptances or other similar securities referred to in subsection 1.

1997, c. 85, s. 314; 1999, c. 83, s. 265.

1138.0.1. A qualified corporation, within the meaning of sections 771.5 to 771.7, for a taxation year may deduct, if it is not described in section 1138.1, in computing its paid-up capital for the year, after the application of section 1138, an amount equal to 75% of the lesser of

(a)  its paid-up capital for the year, computed after the application of section 1138, minus the amount that, where applicable, could be deducted from the paid-up capital of the corporation for the year under section 1138.2.5 if “75% of the amount” in the first paragraph of section 57 of the Act respecting international financial centres (chapter C-8.3) were replaced by “the amount”; and

(b)  $3,000,000.

Notwithstanding the first paragraph, the amount deductible by such a corporation in computing its paid-up capital under this section, for its taxation year that includes the last day of its exemption period, within the meaning of the first paragraph of section 771.1, is equal to such proportion of the amount that, but for this paragraph, would be determined under the first paragraph that the number of days in the year included in that exemption period is of the number of days in the year.

1987, c. 21, s. 91; 1993, c. 64, s. 195; 1995, c. 63, s. 244; 1997, c. 3, s. 71; 1997, c. 85, s. 315; 2000, c. 39, s. 253; 2004, c. 21, s. 492; 2005, c. 38, s. 319; 2009, c. 5, s. 558.

1138.1. Every farming corporation or every corporation whose activities consist mainly in carrying on a fishing business may deduct $5,000,000 in computing its paid-up capital, following the application of section 1138.

However, if the corporation is associated in a taxation year with one or several other corporations referred to in the first paragraph, the amount it may deduct for the year under this section is equal to the product obtained by multiplying $5,000,000 by

(a)  if all the corporations associated with each other during the year have filed with the Minister an agreement in the prescribed form whereby they attribute a deduction percentage to one or more of them for the year for the purposes of this section, and the deduction percentage or the total of deduction percentages so attributed, as the case may be, does not exceed 100%, the deduction percentage so attributed to the corporation for the year or, in the absence of such an attribution in its respect, zero; and

1138.2.2. A corporation that carries on, in a taxation year, a recognized business in connection with which a major investment project was carried out or is in the process of being carried out, or is a member of a partnership that carries on, in a fiscal period of the partnership that ends in the year, such a recognized business, may deduct from its paid-up capital otherwise determined for the year under this Title, the aggregate of all amounts each of which is, in relation to a particular major investment project of the corporation or partnership, the proportion of the amount that would be the corporation’s paid-up capital otherwise determined for the year under this Title if such capital were established on the sole basis of the financial statements referred to in subparagraph c or d of the second paragraph in relation to the particular major investment project, that the number of days in the eligibility period of the corporation for the year or of the partnership for the fiscal period, as the case may be, in relation to the particular major investment project, is of the number of days in the taxation year or fiscal period, as the case may be.

However, a deduction is allowed under the first paragraph for a taxation year in respect of a major investment project of the corporation or partnership, only if the corporation encloses, with its fiscal return it is required to file under section 1000 for the year, the following documents:

(a)  the prescribed form containing the prescribed information;

(b)  a copy of the initial qualification certificate issued to the corporation or partnership in relation to the major investment project, and of any annual qualification certificate for the taxation year of the corporation or the fiscal period of the partnership issued in relation to the major investment project;

i.  the financial statements of the partnership prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles but pertaining only to the eligible activities of the partnership, in relation to the major investment project,

ii.  if applicable, the financial statements of a joint venture in which the partnership has an interest, prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles but pertaining only to the activities carried on by the joint venture that would be eligible activities of a partnership, in relation to the major investment project, if the joint venture were a partnership, and

iii.  the financial statements of the corporation prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles but pertaining only to the elements attributable to the eligible activities of the partnership, in relation to the major investment project, and, where applicable, only to the elements attributable to the activities referred to in subparagraph ii.

For the purposes of subparagraph b of the second paragraph, where, at any time, a corporation or partnership acquires from another corporation or partnership all or substantially all of a recognized business, and the Minister of Finance previously authorized the acquisition for the purposes of this Book, the initial qualification certificate issued to the other corporation or partnership, in relation to the major investment project, is deemed to have been issued, from that time, to the corporation or partnership, as the case may be.

The amounts reported in the financial statements referred to in subparagraph c or d of the second paragraph of the corporation, partnership or joint venture must be the same as the amounts that, in respect of eligible activities, activities or elements attributable to eligible activities or activities referred to in that subparagraph, were taken into account in determining the amounts reported in the financial statements of the corporation, partnership or joint venture, as the case may be, otherwise prepared under this Part.

(a)  the corporation is deemed to be a member of a particular partnership at the end of a particular fiscal period of the particular partnership and that particular fiscal period is deemed to end in the corporation’s taxation year in which ends the fiscal period of the interposed partnership of which it is directly a member, if

i.  the particular fiscal period is that which ends in the fiscal period of the interposed partnership that is a member of the particular partnership at the end of that particular fiscal period, and

ii.  the corporation is a member, or deemed to be a member under this paragraph, of the interposed partnership described in subparagraph i at the end of the interposed partnership’s fiscal period in which the particular fiscal period ends; and

(b)  subparagraph iii of subparagraph d of the second paragraph of section 1138.2.2 is to be read as if “the financial statements of the corporation” was replaced by “the financial statements of the corporation and of any other partnership of which the corporation is a member, or deemed to be a member under paragraph a of section 1138.2.2.1,”.

2009, c. 15, s. 439.

1141.8. A corporation that carries on, in a taxation year, a recognized business in connection with which a major investment project was carried out or is in the process of being carried out, or is a member of a partnership that carries on, in a fiscal period of the partnership that ends in the year, such a recognized business, may deduct from its paid-up capital otherwise determined for the year under this Title, the aggregate of all amounts each of which is, in relation to a particular major investment project of the corporation or partnership, the proportion of the amount that would be the corporation’s paid-up capital otherwise determined for the year under this Title if such capital were established on the sole basis of the financial statements referred to in subparagraph c or d of the second paragraph in relation to the particular major investment project, that the number of days in the eligibility period of the corporation for the year or of the partnership for the fiscal period, as the case may be, in relation to the particular major investment project, is of the number of days in the taxation year or fiscal period, as the case may be.

However, a deduction is allowed under the first paragraph for a taxation year in respect of a major investment project of the corporation or partnership, only if the corporation encloses, with its fiscal return it is required to file under section 1000 for the year, the following documents:

(a)  the prescribed form containing the prescribed information;

(b)  a copy of the initial qualification certificate issued to the corporation or partnership in relation to the major investment project, and of any annual qualification certificate for the taxation year of the corporation or the fiscal period of the partnership issued in relation to the major investment project;

(c)  where the recognized business is carried on by the corporation, the financial statements of the corporation prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles but pertaining only to the eligible activities of the corporation, in relation to the major investment project; and

(d)  where the recognized business is carried on by the partnership, the financial statements of the partnership prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles but pertaining only to the eligible activities of the partnership, in relation to the major investment project, and the financial statements of the corporation prepared in accordance with those principles but pertaining only to the elements attributable to eligible activities of the partnership, in relation to the major investment project.

For the purposes of subparagraph b of the second paragraph, where, at any time, a corporation or partnership acquires from another corporation or partnership all or substantially all of a recognized business, and the Minister of Finance previously authorized the acquisition for the purposes of this Book, the initial qualification certificate issued to the other corporation or partnership, in relation to the major investment project, is deemed to be issued, from that time, to the corporation or partnership, as the case may be.

The amounts reported in the financial statements referred to in subparagraph c or d of the second paragraph of the corporation or partnership must be the same as the amounts that, in respect of eligible activities or elements attributable to eligible activities referred to in that subparagraph, were taken into account in determining the amounts reported in the financial statements of the corporation or partnership, as the case may be, otherwise prepared under this Part.

2002, c. 9, s. 132; 2012, c. 8, s. 249.

1141.8.1. For the purpose of determining the amount that a corporation may deduct, under section 1141.8, from its paid-up capital otherwise determined for a taxation year under this Title, the following rules apply if one or more other partnerships (each of which is in this section referred to as an “interposed partnership”) are interposed between that corporation and a given partnership that carries on a recognized business referred to in that section in any fiscal period of the given partnership:

(a)  the corporation is deemed to be a member of a particular partnership at the end of a particular fiscal period of the particular partnership and that particular fiscal period is deemed to end in the corporation’s taxation year in which ends the fiscal period of the interposed partnership of which it is directly a member, if

i.  the particular fiscal period is that which ends in the fiscal period of the interposed partnership that is a member of the particular partnership at the end of that particular fiscal period, and

ii.  the corporation is a member, or deemed to be a member under this paragraph, of the interposed partnership described in subparagraph i at the end of the interposed partnership’s fiscal period in which the particular fiscal period ends; and

(b)  subparagraph d of the second paragraph of section 1141.8 is to be read as if “and the financial statements of the corporation” was replaced by “and the financial statements of the corporation and of any other partnership of which the corporation is a member, or deemed to be a member under paragraph a of section 1141.8.1,”.

2009, c. 15, s. 443.

1141.8.2. Section 1141.8.1 does not apply in respect of a corporation, in relation to a given partnership, if the Minister is of the opinion that the interposition, between the corporation and the given partnership, of one or more other partnerships is part of an operation or transaction or of a series of operations or transactions, one of the purposes of which is to cause the corporation to be able to deduct, under section 1141.8, from its paid-up capital otherwise determined for a taxation year under this Title, an amount greater than the amount that the corporation could have so deducted for that taxation year, but for that interposition.

2009, c. 15, s. 443.

1141.9. A corporation referred to in section 1140 may deduct from its paid-up capital otherwise determined for a taxation year under this Title the amount provided for in its respect for the year in section 57 or 60.1 of the Act respecting international financial centres (chapter C-8.3).

2005, c. 38, s. 328.

2005, c. 38, s. 328.

A corporation that has already included or deducted an amount directly or indirectly in computing its capital, taxable capital, taxable capital employed in Québec or taxable capital employed in Canada for a taxation year is not required to include such amount again, or authorized, as the case may be, to deduct it again, either directly or indirectly, unless this Part expressly obliges or authorizes it to do so, or contains words that necessarily imply such obligation or authorization.

1997, c. 14, s. 286.

1175.3.1. In this Part, where a Minister other than the Minister of Revenue or a body replaces or revokes a certificate, qualification certificate or other similar document that has been issued to a person or a partnership, the following rules apply in respect of the document, unless a more specific similar rule applies to it:

(a)  the replaced document is null as of the date of its coming into force or of its deemed coming into force and the new document is deemed, unless it provides otherwise, to come into force as of that date and to have been issued at the time the replaced document was issued or is deemed to have been issued; and

(b)  the revoked document is null as of the effective date of the revocation and is deemed not to have been issued, obtained or held as of that date.

Where a document is, without being replaced, amended by the revocation or replacement of any of its parts or in any other manner, the document before the amendment and the document as amended are deemed, for the purposes of this section, to be separate documents the first of which (referred to as the “replaced document”) has been replaced by the second (referred to as the “new document”).

Where, in the circumstances described in the second paragraph, a document is amended only for a part of its period of validity, the new document is deemed to describe both the situation prevailing before the amendment, as proven by the content of the replaced document, and the new situation, as proven by the content of the new document.

i.  if no portion of the contractual service margin for the group is in respect of a risk under a segregated fund policy, the contractual service margin for the group, or

ii.  in any other case, the amount that would be the contractual service margin for the group if the contractual service margin were determined without taking into account any portion of the contractual service margin that is in respect of the reinsurance of risks under segregated fund policies; and

(e)  3/4 of the amount by which the total of all amounts each of which is the taxable capital employed in Canada of a life insurer for the year that is a member of the related group, exceeds $300,000,000.

1997, c. 14, s. 286.

1175.14. For the purposes of sections 1175.12 and 1175.13, the taxable capital employed in Canada of a life insurer for a taxation year is, in the case of a life insurer that is resident in Canada at any time in the taxation year, the amount obtained by multiplying the aggregate of the capital of the life insurer for the taxation year and the amount determined for the year in respect of the capital of its foreign insurance subsidiaries by the proportion that the Canadian reserve liabilities of the life insurer at the end of the taxation year is of the aggregate of its total reserve liabilities at the end of the year and the amount determined for the year in respect of the total reserve liabilities of its foreign insurance subsidiaries.

For the purposes of sections 1175.12 and 1175.13, the taxable capital employed in Canada of a life insurer for a taxation year is, in the case of a life insurer that, throughout a taxation year, is not resident in Canada, its capital for the taxation year.

1997, c. 14, s. 286; 2001, c. 53, s. 259; 2010, c. 25, s. 226.

1175.15. The Minister may request a life insurer that carries on business in Canada at any time in a taxation year and, at the end of the year, is related to another life insurer that carries on business in Canada to file with the Minister an agreement described in section 1175.13 and, if the life insurer does not file the agreement within 30 days after receiving the request, the Minister may allocate among the members of the related group of life insurers of which the life insurer is a member for the year an amount not exceeding the total that would otherwise be determined under paragraphs a to e of section 1175.13 in respect of the related group.

1997, c. 14, s. 286.

1175.16. For the purposes of this Part, the capital allowance for a taxation year of a member of a related group of life insurers is equal to the least amount allocated to that member for that year under an agreement described in section 1175.13 or by the Minister in accordance with section 1175.15.

1997, c. 14, s. 286.

1175.17. Where a corporation, in this section referred to as the “first corporation”, has more than one taxation year ending in the same calendar year and is related in two or more of those taxation years to another corporation that has a taxation year ending in that calendar year, the capital allowance of the first corporation for each such taxation year at the end of which it is related to the other corporation is, for the purposes of this Part, an amount equal to its capital allowance for the first such taxation year.

1997, c. 14, s. 286.

1175.18. For the purposes of this Part, two corporations that would, but for this section, be related to each other solely because of the control of any corporation by the State or Her Majesty in right of Canada or a province, other than Québec, or a right referred to in paragraph b of section 20, shall be deemed not to be related to each other.

However, where at any time a taxpayer acquires a right referred to in paragraph b of section 20 and it may reasonably be considered that one of the main purposes of the acquisition of the right was to avoid any limitation on the amount of a corporation’s capital allowance for a taxation year, for the purpose of determining whether, for the purposes of this Part, a corporation is related to any other corporation, the taxpayer is deemed to have acquired, at that time, the shares giving entitlement to the right.

For the purposes of the second paragraph, an amount referred to in subparagraph ii of subparagraph a of that paragraph that is refunded or otherwise paid to the corporation or allocated to a payment to be made by the corporation is deemed to be an amount

(a)  that is refunded or otherwise paid to the partnership or allocated to a payment to be made by the partnership; and

(b)  that is determined by multiplying the amount refunded, paid or allocated by the reciprocal of the agreed proportion in respect of the corporation for the partnership’s fiscal period that ends in the repayment year.

(a)  if the property is described in section 1135.3 or 1135.3.0.1 or paragraph b of section 1135.3.1, to earn income from a business carried on

i.  by the first purchaser of the property and that time is in the portion of that period in which the first purchaser owns the property, or

The tax to which the first paragraph refers is equal to the amount by which the amount determined in accordance with the third paragraph is exceeded by the aggregate of all amounts each of which is the amount by which the amount of the tax that would have been payable by the corporation under Part IV for a particular taxation year preceding the repayment year and in respect of which the corporation has deducted an amount relating to costs incurred to acquire the property referred to in the first paragraph, or to its share of such costs, if every amount that, at or before the end of the repayment year or of the fiscal period that ended in the repayment year, as the case may be, is so refunded, paid or allocated, in relation to those costs, had been refunded, paid or allocated in that particular taxation year or in the fiscal period that ended in the particular taxation year, as the case may be, and in the case where the property was acquired by the partnership referred to in the first paragraph, if the corporation’s share of the income or loss of the partnership for the partnership’s fiscal period that ends in that particular taxation year and the income or loss of the partnership for that fiscal period had been the same as those for the partnership’s fiscal period that ends in the repayment year, exceeds the amount of the tax payable by the corporation under Part IV for that particular taxation year or, in the case where the property was acquired by the partnership referred to in the first paragraph, that would have been payable by the corporation under that Part if the corporation’s share of the income or loss of the partnership for the partnership’s fiscal period that ends in that particular taxation year and the partnership’s income or loss for that fiscal period had been the same as those for the partnership’s fiscal period that ends in the repayment year.

The amount to which the second paragraph refers is equal to the aggregate of all amounts each of which is a tax payable by the corporation to the Minister under this section, in respect of the costs incurred to acquire the property referred to in the first paragraph, for a taxation year preceding the repayment year or that would have been so payable, in the case where the property was acquired by the partnership referred to in the first paragraph, if the corporation’s share of the income or loss of the partnership for the partnership’s fiscal period that ends in that preceding taxation year and the partnership’s income or loss for that fiscal period had been the same as those for the partnership’s fiscal period that ends in the repayment year.

However, no tax is payable under this section, in relation to costs incurred to acquire the property referred to in the first paragraph, if section 1175.21.0.1 applies in respect of the property for the repayment year or applied in respect of the property for a preceding taxation year.

1997, c. 85, s. 323; 2000, c. 39, s. 264; 2003, c. 9, s. 433; 2007, c. 12, s. 292.

1175.21.0.1. Every corporation that, in relation to a property described in the first paragraph of section 1137.5, has deducted, for any taxation year, an amount under paragraph b.3 or b.4 of section 1137 and, if it is a member of a partnership, because of subsection 3 of section 1136, in computing its paid-up capital determined under Part IV for the purpose of computing the tax payable by the corporation for that year under that Part, shall pay the tax computed under the second paragraph for a particular taxation year, if

(a)  at any time between the corporation’s filing-due date for the taxation year preceding the particular year and the day after the day that is the end of the period of 730 days following the beginning of the use of the property by the first purchaser of the property or by a subsequent purchaser that acquired the property in any of the circumstances in which section 130R149 of the Regulation respecting the Taxation Act (chapter I-3, r. 1) applies, or, if it precedes the day that is the end of that period, the filing-due date, for the particular year, of the purchaser that owns the property at the end of the particular year, the property ceases, otherwise than by reason of its loss, of its involuntary destruction by fire, theft or water, or of a major breakdown of the property, to be used solely in Québec to earn income from a business carried on

i.  by the first purchaser of the property and if that time is also in the portion of that period in which the first purchaser owns the property, or

ii.  by a subsequent purchaser of the property that acquired the property in any of the circumstances in which section 130R149 of the Regulation respecting the Taxation Act applies, and if that time is also in the portion of that period in which the subsequent purchaser owns the property; or

(b)  the qualification certificate issued in relation to an activity described in subparagraph d of the second paragraph of section 1137.5 for the carrying on of which the property described in subparagraph c of the first paragraph of section 1137.5 was acquired, is revoked on or before the corporation’s filing-due date for the particular year.

The tax to which the first paragraph refers is equal to the amount by which the amount determined in accordance with the third paragraph is exceeded by the aggregate of all amounts each of which is the amount by which the amount of the tax that would have been payable by the corporation under Part IV for a taxation year preceding the particular year if the corporation had not deducted, for that preceding year, in relation to the costs incurred to acquire the property referred to in the first paragraph, or to its share of such costs, an amount under paragraph b.3 or b.4 of section 1137 and, if it is a member of a partnership, because of subsection 3 of section 1136, in computing its paid-up capital determined under Part IV and if the corporation’s share of the income or loss of the partnership for the partnership’s fiscal period that ends in that preceding taxation year and the partnership’s income or loss for that fiscal period had been the same as those for the partnership’s fiscal period that ends in the particular year, exceeds the amount of the tax payable by the corporation under Part IV for that preceding taxation year or, in the case where the property was acquired by the partnership, that would have been payable by the corporation under that Part if the corporation’s share of the income or loss of the partnership for the partnership’s fiscal period that ends in that preceding taxation year and the income or loss of the partnership for that fiscal period had been the same as those for the partnership’s fiscal period that ends in the particular year.

The amount to which the second paragraph refers is equal to the aggregate of all amounts each of which is a tax payable by the corporation to the Minister, in respect of the costs incurred to acquire the property referred to in the first paragraph, under section 1175.21, for a taxation year preceding the particular year or that would have been so payable, in the case where the property was acquired by the partnership referred to in the second paragraph, if the corporation’s share of the income or loss of the partnership for the partnership’s fiscal period that ends in that preceding taxation year and the partnership’s income or loss for that fiscal period had been the same as those for the partnership’s fiscal period that ends in the particular year.

2007, c. 12, s. 293; 2009, c. 15, s. 451.

1175.21.1. Every corporation that, in relation to an eligible vessel, has deducted, for a particular taxation year, an amount under paragraph b.2 or b.2.1 of section 1137 and, if the corporation is a member of a partnership, because of subsection 3 of section 1136, in computing its paid-up capital determined under Part IV for the purpose of computing the tax payable by the corporation for the particular year under that Part, shall pay the tax computed under the second paragraph, for a subsequent taxation year, in this section referred to as the “repayment year”, in which

(a)  an amount relating to the eligible acquisition costs or the eligible conversion costs of the eligible vessel, or to its share of such costs, in respect of which the corporation has deducted an amount for a taxation year preceding the repayment year is, directly or indirectly, refunded or otherwise paid to the corporation, or allocated to a payment to be made by the corporation; or

(b)  ends a fiscal period of the partnership in which an amount relating to the eligible acquisition costs or the eligible conversion costs, as the case may be, of the eligible vessel of the partnership, in respect of which the corporation has deducted, in respect of its share of those costs, an amount for a taxation year preceding the repayment year is, directly or indirectly, refunded or otherwise paid to the partnership, or allocated to a payment to be made by the partnership.

The tax to which the first paragraph refers is equal to the amount by which the amount determined in accordance with the third paragraph is exceeded by the aggregate of all amounts each of which is the amount by which the amount of the tax that would have been payable by the corporation under Part IV for a particular taxation year preceding the repayment year and in respect of which the corporation has deducted an amount relating to the eligible acquisition costs or the eligible conversion costs of the eligible vessel, or to its share of such costs, if every amount that, at or before the end of the repayment year or of the fiscal period that ended in the repayment year, as the case may be, is so refunded, paid or allocated, in relation to those costs, had been refunded, paid or allocated in that particular taxation year or in the fiscal period that ended in the particular taxation year, as the case may be, and in the case where the costs were incurred by the partnership referred to in the first paragraph, if the corporation’s share of the income or loss of the partnership for the partnership’s fiscal period that ends in that particular taxation year and the income or loss of the partnership for that fiscal period had been the same as those for the partnership’s fiscal period that ends in the repayment year, exceeds the amount of the tax payable by the corporation under Part IV for that particular taxation year or, in the case where the costs were incurred by the partnership referred to in the first paragraph, that would have been payable by the corporation under that Part if the corporation’s share of the income or loss of the partnership for the partnership’s fiscal period that ends in that particular taxation year and the partnership’s income or loss for that fiscal period had been the same as those for the partnership’s fiscal period that ends in the repayment year.

The amount to which the second paragraph refers is equal to the aggregate of all amounts each of which is a tax payable by the corporation to the Minister under this section, in respect of the eligible acquisition costs or the eligible conversion costs of the eligible vessel, for a taxation year preceding the repayment year or that would have been so payable, in the case where the costs were incurred by the partnership referred to in the first paragraph, if the corporation’s share of the income or loss of the partnership for the partnership’s fiscal period that ends in that preceding taxation year and the partnership’s income or loss for that fiscal period had been the same as those for the partnership’s fiscal period that ends in the repayment year.

1999, c. 83, s. 271; 2007, c. 12, s. 294.

1175.21.2. The tax paid to the Minister by a corporation at any time in a taxation year under this Part is deemed, for the purposes of Title III of Book III of Part I and the definition of “total taxes” in the first paragraph of section 1029.8.36.167, to be a tax paid by the corporation under Part IV for that taxation year.

2006, c. 36, s. 267.

1175.21.3. If, at any time in a taxation year, a qualification certificate referred to in subparagraph d of the second paragraph of section 1137.5 is revoked and, as a result, a corporation is required to pay a tax under section 1175.21.0.1, the Minister may make, as of that time and despite any other provision of this Act, an assessment for the year in respect of the corporation, in relation to the tax.

For the purposes of section 1037 in respect of the tax, the corporation’s balance-due day for that taxation year is deemed to be the date on which the notice of assessment is sent, unless that date is later than the balance-due day.

Despite section 1175.22, sections 1000 to 1000.3 and 1002 to 1004 do not apply in relation to a tax that may be the subject of an assessment made under the first paragraph.

2012, c. 8, s. 256.

1175.24. Where the initial qualification certificate issued by the Minister of Finance in respect of a major investment project is revoked, any person in respect of whom an amount has been determined under section 94.0.3.2 of the Tax Administration Act (chapter A-6.002), in relation to the major investment project, shall pay, for the person’s taxation year in which the certificate was revoked, a tax equal to that amount.

For the purposes of the first paragraph, a person’s share of an amount is equal to the agreed proportion of the amount in respect of the person for the partnership’s fiscal period.

2002, c. 9, s. 139; 2009, c. 15, s. 452; 2010, c. 31, s. 175.

(a)  the aggregate of all amounts each of which is the amount by which the tax, in the third and fourth paragraphs referred to as the “notional tax”, that would have been payable by the person under Part I for a taxation year preceding the particular year, if, in relation to the amount deducted in computing the person’s taxable income, the revocation had been taken into account, exceeds the tax determined by the Minister, in the third paragraph referred to as the “real tax”, that is payable by the person under that Part for that preceding year;

(b)  the aggregate of all amounts each of which is the amount by which the tax, in the third and fourth paragraphs referred to as the “notional tax on capital”, that would have been payable by the person under Part IV, VI or VI.1, for a taxation year preceding the particular year or a 12-month period ending in the preceding taxation year, as the case may be, if, in relation to the amount deducted in computing the person’s paid-up capital or to the reduction of the person’s tax payable under Part VI or VI.1, the revocation had been taken into account, exceeds the tax determined by the Minister, in the third paragraph referred to as the “real tax on capital”, that is payable by the person under Part IV, VI or VI.1 for that preceding year or that 12-month period; and

(c)  the amount by which the amount of contribution payable by the person, taking the revocation into account, under section 34 of the Act respecting the Régie de l’assurance maladie du Québec, in respect of the wages paid or deemed to be paid in the calendar year, exceeds the amount of the contribution payable by the person, but for the revocation, under that section 34 in respect of those wages, except to the extent that that excess amount has become otherwise payable by the person.

Similarly, a person shall pay, for a particular taxation year, where the initial qualification certificate issued or deemed to be issued by the Minister of Finance, in respect of a major investment project, is revoked at any time in the particular year, a tax equal to the aggregate of all amounts each of which is the tax that would be payable by that person, under the first paragraph, for the particular year, if each qualification certificate valid at that time, issued by the Minister of Finance, in respect of a calendar year, in relation to the major investment project, were revoked in the particular year.

If an amount, in this paragraph and in the fourth paragraph referred to as the “increased amount”, in respect of which the person could claim a deduction under a particular provision of this Act in computing the person’s taxable income or tax payable under Part I, or in computing the person’s paid-up capital or tax payable under Part IV, for a preceding taxation year referred to in subparagraph a or b of the first paragraph, in this paragraph and in the fourth paragraph referred to as the “computation year”, for the purpose of determining the person’s notional tax or notional tax on capital, as the case may be, for the computation year, is greater than the amount, in this paragraph and in the fourth paragraph referred to as the “deducted amount”, that the person deducted under the particular provision for the purpose of determining the person’s real tax or real tax on capital, as the case may be, for the computation year, the increased amount rather than the deducted amount may be taken into account, for the purpose of determining the person’s notional tax or notional tax on capital, as the case may be, for the computation year, if

(a)  the person so requests in writing to the Minister; and

(b)  it may reasonably be considered that the amount by which the increased amount exceeds the deducted amount has not been deducted under the particular provision or another provision of this Act for the purpose of determining the person’s tax payable under Part I or the person’s tax payable under Part IV for any other taxation year, nor for the purpose of determining a tax of the person for any taxation year that is similar in nature to the person’s notional tax or notional tax on capital and is provided for in another portion of this Act.

If the third paragraph applies, the amount by which the increased amount exceeds the deducted amount is deemed,

(a)  for the purpose of determining the person’s notional tax for any taxation year subsequent to the computation year and for the application of Part I to the particular taxation year and to any subsequent taxation year, to have been deducted under the particular provision in computing the person’s taxable income or tax payable under Part I for the computation year; or

(b)  for the purpose of determining the person’s notional tax on capital for any taxation year subsequent to the computation year, for the application of Part IV to the particular taxation year and to any subsequent taxation year and for the application of Parts VI.1.1 and VI.2 to any taxation year subsequent to the computation year, to have been deducted under the particular provision in computing the person’s paid-up capital or tax payable under Part IV for the computation year.

1175.27. Where a qualification certificate issued by the Minister of Finance, in relation to a major investment project, in respect of a calendar year is revoked in a fiscal period of a partnership ending in a particular taxation year of a person who is a member of the partnership at the end of that fiscal period and, in relation to the major investment project, the partnership has paid or is deemed to have paid for a pay period included in the calendar year wages, that person shall pay for the particular taxation year a tax equal to the person’s share of the amount by which the amount of the contribution payable by the partnership, taking the revocation into account, under section 34 of the Act respecting the Régie de l’assurance maladie du Québec (chapter R-5), in respect of the wages paid or deemed to be paid in the calendar year, exceeds the amount of the contribution payable by the partnership, but for the revocation, under that section 34, in respect of those wages, except to the extent that that excess amount has become otherwise payable by the partnership.

Similarly, where the initial qualification certificate issued or deemed to have been issued by the Minister of Finance to a partnership, in relation to a major investment project, is revoked at any time in a fiscal period of the partnership ending in a particular taxation year of a person who is a member of the partnership at the end of that fiscal period, that person shall pay for the particular year a tax equal to the aggregate of all amounts each of which is the tax that would be payable by that person, under the first paragraph, for the particular year, if each qualification certificate valid at that time, issued by the Minister of Finance, in respect of a calendar year, in relation to the major investment project, were revoked in the fiscal period.

For the purposes of the first paragraph, a person’s share of an amount is equal to the agreed proportion of the amount in respect of the person for the partnership’s fiscal period.

(b)  in the case of section 1175.25, that tax is deemed, for the purposes of Title III of Book III of Part I, to be an amount of assistance repaid at that time by the partnership referred to in that section pursuant to a legal obligation;

(c)  in the case of section 1175.26,

i.  the portion of that tax that is determined under subparagraph a of the first paragraph of that section, or under the second paragraph of that section because of that subparagraph, is deemed, for the purposes of the definition of “total taxes” in the first paragraph of section 1029.8.36.167, to be a tax that the person pays under Part I for that taxation year,

ii.  the portion of that tax that is determined under subparagraph b of the first paragraph of that section, or under the second paragraph of that section because of that subparagraph, is deemed, for the purposes of Title III of Book III of Part I and the definition of “total taxes” in the first paragraph of section 1029.8.36.167, to be a tax that the person pays under Part IV, VI or VI.1 for that taxation year, and

(d)  in the case of section 1175.27, that tax is deemed, for the purposes of Title III of Book III of Part I, to be an amount that the partnership referred to in that section pays for its fiscal period that includes that time as a contribution under section 34 of the Act respecting the Régie de l’assurance maladie du Québec.

2006, c. 36, s. 270; 2010, c. 31, s. 175.

1175.27.2. If, at any time in a taxation year, a qualification certificate that was issued in relation to a major investment project is revoked and, as a result, a person is required to pay a tax under a provision of this Part, the Minister may make, as of that time and despite any other provision of this Act, an assessment for the year in respect of the person, in relation to the tax.

For the purposes of section 1037 in respect of the tax, the person’s balance-due day for that taxation year is deemed to be the date on which the notice of assessment is sent, unless that date is later than the balance-due day.

PART VI.3.0.1 SPECIAL TAX RELATING TO THE DEDUCTION FOR INNOVATIVE MANUFACTURING CORPORATIONS

2017, c. 29, s. 222.

1175.28.0.1. In this Part,

“corporation” has the meaning assigned by Part I;

“qualified patented part” has the meaning assigned by the first paragraph of section 737.18.36;

“qualified property” has the meaning assigned by the first paragraph of section 737.18.36;

“taxation year” has the meaning assigned by Part I.

2017, c. 29, s. 222.

1175.28.0.2. Where a corporation has deducted an amount under section 737.18.40 in computing its taxable income for a taxation year (in this paragraph referred to as a “preceding year”) in relation to a qualified patented part of the corporation that is incorporated into a qualified property of the corporation and if in a subsequent taxation year (in this section referred to as the “tax liability year”) any of the circumstances described in the second paragraph applies in respect of the qualified patented part, the corporation shall pay for the tax liability year a tax equal to the aggregate of all amounts each of which is the amount by which the tax (in the second and third paragraphs referred to as the “notional tax”) that the corporation would have had to pay under Part I for a preceding year if no amount had been deducted by the corporation in computing its taxable income for that preceding year in relation to the qualified patented part exceeds the tax determined by the Minister (in the second paragraph referred to as the “real tax”) that is payable by the corporation under that Part for that preceding year.

The circumstances to which the first paragraph refers, in respect of an invention that is a qualified patented part of a corporation, are the following:

(a)  the patent issued in respect of the invention is invalidated in accordance with an Act referred to in subparagraph i of paragraph c of the definition of “qualified patented part” in the first paragraph of section 737.18.36;

(b)  the application for a patent, in respect of the invention that is, under the second paragraph of section 737.18.36, the qualified patented part of the corporation, has not resulted in the issue of a patent by a competent authority within five years after the day on which the application was made;

(c)  a redetermination by the Minister reduces to zero the aggregate of all amounts each of which is an amount that a corporation is deemed to have paid to the Minister for a taxation year under any of Divisions II to II.3.0.1 of Chapter III.1 of Title III of Book IX of Part I in respect of the scientific research and experimental development work from which the invention derives; and

(d)  a redetermination by the Minister reduces to less than $500,000 the total described in the first paragraph of section 737.18.39 that was taken into account for the purpose of determining whether the corporation has made sustained innovation efforts in relation to the invention.

Where an amount (in this paragraph and in the fourth paragraph referred to as the “increased amount”), in respect of which the corporation could claim a deduction under a particular provision of this Act in computing its taxable income or tax payable under Part I for a preceding taxation year referred to in the first paragraph (in this paragraph and in the fourth paragraph referred to as the “computation year”) for the purpose of determining its notional tax for the computation year, is greater than the amount (in this paragraph and in the fourth paragraph referred to as the “deducted amount”) that the corporation deducted under the particular provision for the purpose of determining its real tax for the computation year, the increased amount rather than the deducted amount may be taken into account, for the purpose of determining the corporation’s notional tax for the computation year, if

(a)  the corporation so requests in writing to the Minister; and

(b)  it may reasonably be considered that the amount by which the increased amount exceeds the deducted amount has not been deducted under the particular provision or another provision of this Act for the purpose of determining the corporation’s tax payable under Part I for any other taxation year, nor for the purpose of determining a tax of the corporation for any taxation year that is similar in nature to the corporation’s notional tax and is provided for in another part of this Act.

If the third paragraph applies, the amount by which the increased amount exceeds the deducted amount is deemed, for the purpose of determining the corporation’s notional tax for any taxation year subsequent to the computation year and for the application of Part I to the tax liability year and to any subsequent taxation year, to have been deducted under the particular provision in computing the corporation’s taxable income or tax payable, as the case may be, under Part I for the computation year.

2017, c. 29, s. 222.

(a)  such an amount had not been deducted in relation to any qualified intellectual property asset in respect of which an event described in any of paragraphs a to c of section 1175.28.0.7 occurs in the particular year or in a preceding taxation year; and

(b)  section 737.18.44 had applied, in relation to any qualified intellectual property asset in respect of which an event described in paragraph d of section 1175.28.0.7 occurs in the particular year or in a preceding taxation year, with reference only to the expenditures referred to in subparagraphs e and f of the third paragraph of section 737.18.44 that were not reduced by a redetermination by the Minister.

PART VI.3.1 SPECIAL TAX RELATING TO THE REVOCATION OR REPLACEMENT OF CERTIFICATES OR SIMILAR DOCUMENTS

2006, c. 36, s. 271.

1175.28.1. In this Part, unless the context indicates otherwise,

“fiscal period” has the meaning assigned by Part I;

“person” has the meaning assigned by Part I;

“taxation year” has the meaning assigned by Part I.

2006, c. 36, s. 271; 2007, c. 12, s. 304.

1175.28.2. For the purposes of this Part, a document enclosed with a favourable advance ruling or with a certificate, a qualification certificate or another similar document is considered, if it is not in itself a favourable advance ruling or a certificate, a qualification certificate or another similar document, to be an integral part of the document with which it is enclosed.

2006, c. 36, s. 271.

1175.28.3. For the purposes of this Part, the following rules apply:

(a)  the favourable advance ruling given in respect of a property for the purposes of any of Divisions II to II.6.15 of Chapter III.1 of Title III of Book IX of Part I is deemed to be revoked at a particular time if

i.  the favourable advance ruling ceases to be in force at that time and no certificate or qualification certificate is issued in respect of the property for the purposes of that division, or

ii.   the certificate or qualification certificate issued in respect of the property for the purposes of that division is revoked at that time; and

(b)  if the issue of a certificate or qualification certificate, in this paragraph referred to as the “initial document”, is a condition that must be met, directly or indirectly, to allow the issue of another certificate or qualification certificate, in this paragraph referred to as the “other document”, and the initial document is revoked without the other document being revoked at the same time, the other document, to the extent that it relates to a period for which the revocation is effective, is deemed, unless it is necessary to allow an individual, because the individual is an employee within the meaning of section 1, to deduct an amount in computing the individual’s taxable income for the purposes of Part I, to be revoked at the time the initial document is revoked and to be a document to which the same revocation notice applies.

2006, c. 36, s. 271.

1175.28.4. For the purposes of this Part, if a favourable advance ruling or a certificate, a qualification certificate or another similar document is, without being replaced, modified at a particular time by the revocation or replacement of a portion of that document or in any other manner, the document before the modification and the document as modified are deemed to be separate documents the first of which has been replaced by the second at the particular time.

2006, c. 36, s. 271.

1175.28.5. For the purposes of the second paragraph of sections 1175.28.6, 1175.28.9 and 1175.28.15 and the third paragraph of section 1175.28.12, an amount that must be determined with reference to the revocation or replacement of a favourable advance ruling or of a certificate, a qualification certificate or another similar document must be determined on the assumption that

(a)  the favourable advance ruling or the certificate, qualification certificate or other similar document that has been revoked was never given or issued; and

(b)  the favourable advance ruling or the certificate, qualification certificate or other similar document that has been replaced was never given or issued, and that the favourable advance ruling or the certificate, qualification certificate or other similar document that replaced it was given or issued at the time the document it replaces was given or issued.

However, in the case of the revocation or replacement of a certificate, a qualification certificate or another similar document that, as specified in the revocation or replacement notice, concerns only a part of the period to which the document related before its revocation or replacement, the certificate, qualification certificate or other similar document must not be considered, for the other part of that period, to have never been issued.

2006, c. 36, s. 271.

1175.28.6. Every person who is deemed, otherwise than because the person is a member of a partnership, to have paid an amount to the Minister, under a particular provision of any of Divisions II to II.6.15 of Chapter III.1 of Title III of Book IX of Part I, on account of the person’s tax payable under Part I for a particular taxation year, shall, subject to special provisions of Parts III.0.1 to III.1.7 and III.7.1 to III.10.10, pay the tax computed under the second paragraph for a taxation year, in this section referred to as the “modification year”, in which a favourable advance ruling or a certificate, a qualification certificate or another similar document that has been given or issued by a Minister or body and that was required for the purposes of the particular provision for the particular taxation year is revoked or replaced.

The tax to which the first paragraph refers is equal to the amount by which the aggregate of all amounts each of which is the total of the amounts that the person is deemed to have paid to the Minister, under the particular provision, for a taxation year preceding the modification year, which is such a particular taxation year, exceeds the aggregate of all amounts each of which is the total of the amounts that would be deemed to have been paid to the Minister by the person, under the particular provision, for such a preceding taxation year if every revocation and every replacement of such a favourable advance ruling or of such a certificate, qualification certificate or other similar document that occurred at or before the end of the modification year was taken into account, except to the extent that it may reasonably be considered that the excess amount became payable by the person under this section for a taxation year preceding the modification year, or otherwise payable by the person for the modification year or a preceding taxation year.

Despite the special provisions referred to in the first paragraph, the fact that, because of a special rule or otherwise, no tax is payable under Parts III.0.1 to III.1.7 and III.7.1 to III.10.10 in respect of the revocation or replacement of a document referred to in the first paragraph does not preclude the application of this section in respect of the revocation or replacement.

If, in relation to a taxation year, a person is deemed, under section 34.1.9 of the Act respecting the Régie de l’assurance maladie du Québec (chapter R-5), to have made an overpayment to the Minister, this section is to be construed as if that amount were,

(a)  for any portion that is an amount that the person would be deemed, in relation to particular wages, to have paid to the Minister for the taxation year under section 1029.8.36.0.3.48 if that section were read without reference to its fourth and fifth paragraphs, an amount that the person is deemed, in relation to the particular wages, to have paid to the Minister, under section 1029.8.36.0.3.48, on account of the person’s tax payable under Part I for the taxation year; and

(b)  for any portion that is an amount that the person would be deemed, in relation to particular wages, to have paid to the Minister for the taxation year under section 1029.8.36.0.3.57 if that section were read without reference to its second and third paragraphs, an amount that the person is deemed, in relation to the particular wages, to have paid to the Minister under section 1029.8.36.0.3.57, on account of the person’s tax payable under Part I for the taxation year.

2006, c. 36, s. 271.

1175.28.7. If a person is required to pay tax for any taxation year under section 1175.28.6, the tax that the person is required to pay for a subsequent taxation year, under a particular provision of any of Parts III.0.1 to III.1.7 and III.7.1 to III.10.10, may not, despite the particular provision, be greater than the amount by which the tax otherwise determined exceeds the portion of that tax that may reasonably be considered to have become payable by the person under section 1175.28.6 for a taxation year preceding the subsequent taxation year.

2006, c. 36, s. 271.

1175.28.8. If, at any time, a person pays tax to the Minister under section 1175.28.6 in relation to the first aggregate referred to in the second paragraph of that section, the portion of the tax that may reasonably be considered to relate to a property, a cost, an expenditure or to other expenses relating to the aggregate is deemed, for the purposes of Part I but excluding the division of Chapter III.1 of Title III of Book IX of Part I that relates to the aggregate, to be an amount of assistance repaid by the person at that time in respect of the property, cost, expenditure or other expenses, as the case may be, pursuant to a legal obligation, except to the extent that the aggregate is deemed, for the purposes of Part I and the regulations, not to be an amount of assistance nor an inducement received by the person from a government.

2006, c. 36, s. 271.

1175.28.9. Every person who is deemed, because the person is a member of a partnership at the end of a fiscal period of the partnership that ends in a particular taxation year of the person, to have paid an amount to the Minister, under a particular provision of any of Divisions II to II.6.15 of Chapter III.1 of Title III of Book IX of Part I, on account of the person’s tax payable under Part I for the particular taxation year, shall, subject to special provisions of Parts III.0.1 to III.1.7 and III.7.1 to III.10.10, pay the tax computed under the second paragraph for a taxation year in which ends a subsequent fiscal period of the partnership, in this section referred to as the “fiscal period of the modification”, in which a certificate, a qualification certificate or another similar document that has been issued by a Minister or body and that was required for the purposes of the particular provision for the particular taxation year is revoked or replaced.

The tax to which the first paragraph refers is equal to the amount by which the aggregate of all amounts each of which is the total of the amounts that, if the rule set out in the third paragraph applied, would be deemed to have been paid to the Minister, under the particular provision, by the person for a given taxation year that is such a particular taxation year in which ends a fiscal period of the partnership that precedes the fiscal period of the modification, exceeds the aggregate of all amounts each of which is the total of the amounts that would be deemed to have been paid to the Minister, under the particular provision, by the person for such a given taxation year if the rule set out in the third paragraph applied and if every revocation and every replacement of such a certificate, qualification certificate or other similar document that occurred at or before the end of the fiscal period of the modification was taken into account, except to the extent that it could reasonably be considered that, if the rule set out in the third paragraph applied, the excess amount would have become payable by the person under this section for a taxation year preceding the taxation year in which the fiscal period of the modification ends, or otherwise payable by the person for the taxation year in which that fiscal period ends or for a preceding taxation year.

The rule to which the second paragraph refers is the rule whereby it shall be considered that the agreed proportion in respect of the person for a fiscal period of the partnership that ends in a taxation year of the person and at the end of which the person is a member of the partnership is the same as that for the fiscal period of the modification.

Despite the special provisions referred to in the first paragraph, the fact that, because of a special rule or otherwise, no tax is payable under Parts III.0.1 to III.1.7 and III.7.1 to III.10.10 in respect of the revocation or replacement of a document referred to in the first paragraph does not preclude the application of this section in respect of the revocation or replacement.

2006, c. 36, s. 271; 2009, c. 15, s. 454.

1175.28.10. If a person is required to pay tax for any taxation year under section 1175.28.9, the tax that the person is required to pay for a subsequent taxation year, under a particular provision of any of Parts III.0.1 to III.1.7 and III.7.1 to III.10.10, may not, despite the particular provision, be greater than the amount by which the tax otherwise determined exceeds the portion of that tax that could reasonably be considered to have become payable by the person under section 1175.28.9 for a taxation year preceding the subsequent taxation year if the rule set out in the second paragraph applied.

The rule to which the first paragraph refers is the rule whereby it shall be considered that the agreed proportion in respect of the person for a fiscal period of the partnership that ends in a taxation year of the person and at the end of which the person is a member of the partnership is the same as that determined for the partnership’s fiscal period that ends in the subsequent taxation year referred to in the first paragraph.

2006, c. 36, s. 271; 2009, c. 15, s. 455.

1175.28.10.1. For the purposes of sections 1175.28.9 and 1175.28.10, the following rules apply in respect of a person for a taxation year if one or more partnerships (each of which is in this section referred to as an “interposed partnership”) are interposed between the person and a given partnership for a given fiscal period of the given partnership, and if the person is deemed to have paid an amount to the Minister for a preceding taxation year under Chapter III.1 of Title III of Book IX of Part I, in respect of a cost, an expenditure or expenses incurred by that given partnership in a fiscal period of that given partnership that precedes the given fiscal period (in this section referred to as the “preceding fiscal period”):

(a)  the person is deemed to be a member of a particular partnership at the end of a particular fiscal period of the particular partnership and that particular fiscal period is deemed to end in the person’s taxation year in which ends the fiscal period of the interposed partnership of which the person is directly a member, if

i.  the particular fiscal period is that which ends in the fiscal period (in this section referred to as the “interposed fiscal period”) of the interposed partnership that is a member of the particular partnership at the end of that particular fiscal period, and

ii.  the person is a member, or deemed to be a member under this paragraph, of the interposed partnership described in subparagraph i at the end of the interposed partnership’s interposed fiscal period; and

(b)  the agreed proportion in respect of the person for the given partnership’s given fiscal period is deemed to be equal to the product obtained by multiplying the agreed proportion in respect of the person for the interposed fiscal period of the interposed partnership of which the person is directly a member, by

i.  if there is only one interposed partnership, the agreed proportion in respect of the interposed partnership for the given partnership’s given fiscal period, or

ii.  if there is more than one interposed partnership, the result obtained by multiplying together all proportions each of which is the agreed proportion in respect of an interposed partnership for the particular fiscal period of the particular partnership referred to in paragraph a of which the interposed partnership is a member at the end of that particular fiscal period.

2009, c. 15, s. 456.

1175.28.11. If, at any time, a person pays tax to the Minister under section 1175.28.9 in relation to the first aggregate referred to in the second paragraph of that section in respect of a partnership, the portion of the tax that may reasonably be considered to relate to a property, a cost, an expenditure or to other expenses relating to the aggregate is deemed, for the purposes of Part I but excluding the division of Chapter III.1 of Title III of Book IX of Part I that relates to the aggregate, to be an amount of assistance repaid at that time by the partnership in respect of the property, cost, expenditure or other expenses, as the case may be, pursuant to a legal obligation, except to the extent that the aggregate is deemed, for the purposes of Part I and the regulations, not to be an amount of assistance nor an inducement received by the partnership from a government.

2006, c. 36, s. 271.

1175.28.12. Every person who, for a particular taxation year or at any given time in that year, enjoys any of the benefits described in the second paragraph shall, subject to special provisions of Parts VI.2 and VI.3, pay the tax computed under the third paragraph for a taxation year, in this section referred to as the “modification year”, in which a certificate, a qualification certificate or another similar document that has been issued by a Minister or body and that was required to enable the person to enjoy the benefit for the particular taxation year or at that given time is revoked or replaced.

The benefits to which the first paragraph refers are

(a)  a deduction in computing taxable income or the tax payable for the purposes of Part I, otherwise than under any of Titles V, VI.3 and VI.9 of Book IV or Title I or III.6 of Book V;

(b)  a deduction in computing paid-up capital for the purposes of Part IV;

(c)   a reduction of the tax payable under Part VI or VI.1; and

(d)  an exemption or a reduction of the contribution provided for in section 34 or 34.1.6 of the Act respecting the Régie de l’assurance maladie du Québec (chapter R-5) in respect of wages or another amount.

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

(a)  the aggregate of all amounts each of which is the amount by which the tax, in the fourth and fifth paragraphs referred to as the “notional tax”, that would have been payable by the person under Part I for a taxation year preceding the modification year, which is such a particular taxation year, if, in relation to the benefit referred to in the first paragraph and described in subparagraph a of the second paragraph, every revocation and every replacement of such a certificate, qualification certificate or other similar document that occurred at or before the end of the modification year had been taken into account, exceeds the tax determined by the Minister, in the fourth paragraph referred to as the “real tax”, that is payable by the person under that Part for that preceding taxation year, except to the extent that it may reasonably be considered that the excess amount became payable by the person under this section for a taxation year preceding the modification year, or otherwise payable by the person for the modification year or a preceding taxation year;

(b)  the aggregate of all amounts each of which is the amount by which the tax, in the fourth and fifth paragraphs referred to as the “notional tax on capital”, that would have been payable by the person under Part IV, IV.1, VI or VI.1 for a taxation year preceding the modification year, which is such a particular taxation year, or for a 12-month period ending in such a preceding taxation year, as the case may be, if, in relation to the benefit referred to in the first paragraph and described in subparagraph b or c of the second paragraph, every revocation and every replacement of such a certificate, qualification certificate or other similar document that occurred at or before the end of the modification year had been taken into account, exceeds the tax determined by the Minister, in the fourth paragraph referred to as the “real tax on capital”, that is payable by the person under this Part for that preceding taxation year or 12-month period, except to the extent that it may reasonably be considered that the excess amount became payable by the person under this section for a taxation year preceding the modification year, or otherwise payable by the person for the modification year or a preceding taxation year;

(c)  the aggregate of all amounts each of which is the amount by which the aggregate of the contributions that would be payable by the person under section 34 of the Act respecting the Régie de l’assurance maladie du Québec in respect of the wages paid or deemed to be paid in such a particular taxation year if every revocation and every replacement of such a certificate, qualification certificate or other similar document that occurred at or before the end of the modification year was taken into account, exceeds the aggregate of the contributions, determined without taking any such revocation or replacement into account, that are payable by the person under section 34 of that Act in respect of the wages paid or deemed to be paid in that particular taxation year, except to the extent that it may reasonably be considered that the excess amount became payable by the person under this section for a taxation year preceding the modification year, or otherwise payable by the person for the modification year or a preceding taxation year; and

(d)  the aggregate of all amounts each of which is the amount by which the contribution that would be payable by the person under section 34.1.6 of the Act respecting the Régie de l’assurance maladie du Québec for a taxation year preceding the modification year, which is such a particular taxation year, if every revocation and every replacement of such a certificate, qualification certificate or other similar document that occurred at or before the end of the modification year was taken into account, exceeds the contribution, determined without taking any such revocation or replacement into account, that is payable by the person under section 34.1.6 of that Act for that preceding taxation year, except to the extent that it may reasonably be considered that the excess amount became payable by the person under this section for a taxation year preceding the modification year, or otherwise payable by the person for the modification year or a preceding taxation year.

If an amount, in this paragraph and in the fifth paragraph referred to as the “increased amount”, in respect of which the person could claim a deduction under a particular provision of this Act in computing the person’s taxable income or tax payable under Part I, or in computing the person’s paid-up capital or tax payable under Part IV, for a preceding taxation year referred to in the first instance in subparagraph a or b of the third paragraph, in this paragraph and in the fifth paragraph referred to as the “computation year”, for the purpose of determining the person’s notional tax or notional tax on capital, as the case may be, for the computation year, is greater than the amount, in this paragraph and in the fifth paragraph referred to as the “deducted amount”, that the person deducted under the particular provision for the purpose of determining the person’s real tax or real tax on capital, as the case may be, for the computation year, the increased amount rather than the deducted amount may be taken into account for the purpose of determining the person’s notional tax or notional tax on capital, as the case may be, for the computation year, if

(a)  the person so requests in writing to the Minister; and

(b)  it may reasonably be considered that the amount by which the increased amount exceeds the deducted amount has not been deducted under the particular provision or another provision of this Act for the purpose of determining the person’s tax payable under Part I or the person’s tax payable under Part IV for any other taxation year, nor for the purpose of determining a tax of the person for any taxation year that is similar in nature to the person’s notional tax or notional tax on capital and is provided for in another portion of this Act.

If the fourth paragraph applies, the amount by which the increased amount exceeds the deducted amount is deemed,

(a)  for the purpose of determining the person’s notional tax for any taxation year subsequent to the computation year and for the application of Part I to the modification year and to any subsequent taxation year, to have been deducted under the particular provision in computing the person’s taxable income or tax payable under Part I for the computation year; or

(b)  for the purpose of determining the person’s notional tax on capital for any taxation year subsequent to the computation year, for the application of Part IV to the modification year and to any subsequent taxation year and for the application of Parts VI.1.1 and VI.2 to any taxation year subsequent to the computation year, to have been deducted under the particular provision in computing the person’s paid-up capital or tax payable under Part IV for the computation year.

Despite the special provisions referred to in the first paragraph, the fact that no tax is payable under Parts VI.2 and VI.3 in respect of the revocation or replacement of a document referred to in the first paragraph does not preclude the application of this section in respect of the revocation or replacement.

2006, c. 36, s. 271; 2021, c. 18, s. 162.

1175.28.13. If a person is required to pay tax for any taxation year under section 1175.28.12, the tax that the person is required to pay for a subsequent taxation year, under a particular provision of any of Parts III.6.4 to III.6.6, VI.2 and VI.3, may not, despite the particular provision, be greater than the amount by which the tax otherwise determined exceeds the portion of that tax that may reasonably be considered to have become payable by the person under section 1175.28.12 for a taxation year preceding the subsequent taxation year.

2006, c. 36, s. 271; 2007, c. 12, s. 295; 2015, c. 36, s. 166; 2017, c. 1, s. 389.

1175.28.14. If, at any time in a taxation year, a person pays tax to the Minister under section 1175.28.12, the following rules apply:

(a)  the portion of that tax that is determined under subparagraph a of the third paragraph of that section is deemed, for the purposes of the definition of “total taxes” in the first paragraph of sections 1029.8.36.166.40, 1029.8.36.166.60.36 and 1029.8.36.167, to be a tax that the person pays under Part I for that taxation year;

(a.1)  the portion of that tax that is determined under subparagraph a of the third paragraph of that section and that may reasonably be considered as relating to a deduction under any of Titles III.3, III.4 and III.5 of Book V of Part I in relation to an expense is deemed to be, for the purposes of Part I, except for that Title III.3, that Title III.4 and Division II.6.0.1.9 of Chapter III.1 of Title III of Book IX or that Title III.5, as the case may be, and the definition of “total taxes” in the first paragraph of sections 1029.8.36.166.40, 1029.8.36.166.60.36 and 1029.8.36.167, an amount of assistance repaid at that time by the person in respect of the expense pursuant to a legal obligation;

(b)  the portion of that tax that is determined under subparagraph b of the third paragraph of that section is deemed, for the purposes of Title III of Book III of Part I and the definition of “total taxes” in the first paragraph of sections 1029.8.36.166.60.36 and 1029.8.36.167, to be a tax that the person pays under Part IV, IV.1, VI or VI.1, as the case may be, for that taxation year;

(c)  the portion of that tax that is determined under subparagraph c of the third paragraph of that section is deemed, for the purposes of Title III of Book III of Part I, to be an amount that the person pays for that taxation year as a contribution under section 34 of the Act respecting the Régie de l’assurance maladie du Québec (chapter R-5); and

(d)  (paragraph repealed).

2006, c. 36, s. 271; 2007, c. 12, s. 296; 2009, c. 5, s. 569; 2015, c. 36, s. 167; 2017, c. 1, s. 390; 2017, c. 29, s. 223; 2021, c. 14, s. 199.

1175.28.15. Every person who is a member of a partnership at the end of a particular fiscal period of the partnership that ends in a particular taxation year of the person shall, subject to special provisions of Part VI.3, pay the tax computed under the second paragraph for the particular taxation year if

(a)  in any given fiscal period of the partnership, the partnership paid or is deemed to have paid wages in respect of which an exemption or a reduction of the contribution provided for in section 34 of the Act respecting the Régie de l’assurance maladie du Québec (chapter R-5) was allowed;

(b)  a certificate, a qualification certificate or another similar document, issued by a Minister or body, was required to enable the partnership to enjoy the exemption or reduction referred to in subparagraph a; and

(c)  the certificate, qualification certificate or other similar document referred to in subparagraph b is revoked or replaced in the particular fiscal period.

The tax to which the first paragraph refers is equal to the person’s share of the aggregate of all amounts each of which is the amount by which the aggregate of the contributions that would be payable by the partnership under section 34 of the Act respecting the Régie de l’assurance maladie du Québec in respect of the wages paid or deemed to be paid in such a given fiscal period if every revocation and every replacement of such a certificate, qualification certificate or other similar document that occurred at or before the end of the particular fiscal period was taken into account, exceeds the aggregate of the contributions, determined without taking any such revocation or replacement into account, that are payable by the partnership under section 34 of that Act in respect of the wages paid or deemed to be paid in the given fiscal period, except to the extent that it may reasonably be considered that the excess amount became payable by a person under this section for a taxation year preceding the particular taxation year, otherwise payable by a person for the particular taxation year or a preceding taxation year, or otherwise payable by the partnership for the given fiscal period.

For the purposes of the second paragraph, a person’s share of an amount is equal to the agreed proportion of the amount in respect of the person for the partnership’s particular fiscal period.

Despite the special provisions referred to in the first paragraph, the fact that no tax is payable under Part VI.3 in respect of the replacement of a document referred to in the first paragraph does not preclude the application of this section in respect of the replacement.

1175.28.16. The tax that a person is required to pay for a taxation year under section 1175.27 may not, despite that section, be greater than the amount by which the tax otherwise determined exceeds the portion of that tax that may reasonably be considered to have become payable by a person under section 1175.28.15 for a preceding taxation year.

2006, c. 36, s. 271.

1175.28.17. For the purposes of Title III of Book III of Part I, the tax paid to the Minister by a person at any time, under section 1175.28.15, in relation to a partnership, is deemed to be an amount that the partnership pays for its fiscal period that includes that time as a contribution under section 34 of the Act respecting the Régie de l’assurance maladie du Québec (chapter R-5).

2006, c. 36, s. 271.

1175.28.17.1. If, at any time in a taxation year, a favourable advance ruling, certificate, qualification certificate or other similar document is revoked or replaced and, as a result, a person is required to pay a tax under a provision of this Part, the Minister may make, as of that time and despite any other provision of this Act, an assessment for the year in respect of the person, in relation to the tax.

For the purposes of section 1037 in respect of the tax, the person’s balance-due day for that taxation year is deemed to be the date on which the notice of assessment is sent, unless that date is later than the balance-due day.

2012, c. 8, s. 259.

1175.28.18. Unless otherwise provided in this Part, section 6, the first paragraph of section 549, section 564 where it refers to the first paragraph of section 549, sections 1001, 1005 to 1024 and 1026.0.1, subparagraph b of the first paragraph of section 1027 and sections 1037 to 1079.16 apply to this Part, with the necessary modifications.

2007, c. 12, s. 300.

BOOK III COMPUTATION OF THE NET VALUE OF THE ASSETS

2005, c. 23, s. 261.

1175.36. In this Part, the net value of the assets forming part of a system, determined in respect of an operator for a particular fiscal period, means the aggregate of all amounts each of which is

(a)  the excess amount, as shown in the operator’s financial statements prepared for the particular fiscal period, that is the amount by which the cost of an immovable subject to tax that is included in the system of the operator and of which the operator is the owner at the end of the particular fiscal period exceeds the accumulated depreciation;

(b)  unless subparagraph c applies, the amount determined by the following formula in respect of an immovable subject to tax that is included in the system of the operator and of which the operator is the lessee at any time in the particular fiscal period:

(A × 10) 365 / B; or

(c)  the excess amount, as shown in the operator’s financial statements prepared for the operator’s last fiscal period that ends in the calendar year in which the particular fiscal period ends, that is the amount by which the cost to the owner of an immovable subject to tax that is included in the system of the operator and of which the operator is the lessee at any time in the particular fiscal period exceeds the accumulated depreciation, where the owner is the lessor of the immovable subject to tax, in relation to the operator, and the owner and operator were not dealing with each other at arm’s length at the time the operator became the lessee of the immovable subject to tax or, if the owner is not the lessor of the immovable subject to tax, in relation to the operator, where each person or partnership that is a lessor of the immovable subject to tax, in relation to a lessee, and that lessee were not dealing with each other at arm’s length at the time the person or partnership became the lessor of the immovable subject to tax in relation to that lessee.

In the formula in subparagraph b of the first paragraph,

(a)  A is the portion of the rental cost of the immovable incurred in the particular fiscal period by the operator; and

(b)  B is the number of days in the particular fiscal period.

Subparagraphs b and c of the first paragraph do not apply in respect of an immovable subject to tax of which an operator is the lessee at any time in the operator’s last fiscal period that ends in a calendar year if that immovable is shown in the financial statements of another operator that is the owner of that immovable, prepared for that operator’s last fiscal period that ends in the calendar year.

For the purposes of this section, an operator who uses an immovable subject to tax in a capacity other than owner during the operator’s last fiscal period that ends in a calendar year is deemed to be the owner of that immovable subject to tax at the end of that fiscal period and is deemed not to be a lessee of that immovable subject to tax if that immovable constitutes an asset of the operator shown in the operator’s financial statements prepared for that fiscal period.

2005, c. 23, s. 261; 2005, c. 38, s. 335.

1175.36.1. Despite section 1175.36, if an operator transfers, in a calendar year, to a person or partnership an immovable subject to tax that forms part of a system of the operator, the following rules apply:

(a)  in the case where the person or partnership is also an operator and

i.  the immovable subject to tax is transferred by the operator in a fiscal period that ends in the calendar year, in this paragraph referred to as the “particular fiscal period”, the amount that is the excess amount, as it would have been shown in the operator’s financial statements had the operator still owned the immovable subject to tax at the end of the particular fiscal period, that is the amount by which the cost of the immovable subject to tax exceeds the accumulated depreciation at the end of the fiscal period that precedes the particular fiscal period, must be added to the net value of the assets forming part of the operator’s system for the operator’s last fiscal period that ends in the calendar year, unless the immovable subject to tax forms part of a system of the person or partnership and is shown in the person’s or partnership’s financial statements for the person’s or partnership’s last fiscal period that ends in the calendar year, at the end of which the person or partnership owns the immovable, or

ii.  the immovable subject to tax forms part of a system of the person or partnership and is shown both in the person’s or partnership’s financial statements for the person’s or partnership’s last fiscal period that ends in the calendar year, at the end of which the person or partnership owns the immovable, and in the transferor’s financial statements for the transferor’s last fiscal period that ends in the calendar year, the amount that is the amount by which the cost of the immovable subject to tax exceeds the accumulated depreciation, as shown in the person’s or partnership’s financial statements for that fiscal period, may be subtracted from the net value of the assets forming part of the person’s or partnership’s system for the person’s or partnership’s last fiscal period that ends in the calendar year; and

(b)  in the case where the person or partnership is not an operator and the immovable subject to tax is transferred by the operator in a fiscal period that ends in the calendar year, in this paragraph referred to as the “particular fiscal period”, the amount that is the proportion of the excess amount, as it would have been shown in the operator’s financial statements had the operator still owned the immovable subject to tax at the end of the particular fiscal period, that is the amount by which the cost of the immovable subject to tax exceeds the accumulated depreciation at the end of the fiscal period that precedes the particular fiscal period, that the number of days in the particular fiscal period in which the operator owned the immovable subject to tax is of the number of days in the particular fiscal period, must be added to the net value of the assets of the operator for the operator’s last fiscal period that ends in the calendar year.

1972, c. 23, s. 885; 1979, c. 38, s. 30; 1993, c. 64, s. 205; 1994, c. 22, s. 349; 1997, c. 3, s. 70; 1997, c. 14, s. 290; 2004, c. 21, s. 501; 2006, c. 13, s. 228; 2007, c. 12, s. 304.

1177. In this Part, the expression “logging operations” means:

(a)  the cutting of standing timber in Québec or the acquiring of forest products derived therefrom, when such products are sold in Québec;

(b)  the cutting of standing timber in Québec or the acquiring of forest products derived therefrom, when such products are sold outside Québec;

(c)  the sale of forest land, timber limits or timber-cutting rights in Québec;

(d)  the cutting of standing timber in Québec or the acquiring of forest products derived therefrom by a taxpayer where such products are processed in a sawmill, pulp or paper plant or other plant for processing forest products in Canada by the taxpayer or on his behalf.

Where a taxpayer is deemed, under a provision of Part I, to have disposed of a property described in subparagraph c of the first paragraph, the taxpayer is deemed, for the purposes of that subparagraph c and section 1178, to have sold it.

1972, c. 23, s. 886; 1990, c. 59, s. 364; 2004, c. 21, s. 502.

1178. For the purposes of this Part,

(a)  the income of a taxpayer from logging operations for a taxation year is equal to the excess of the aggregate of all his income over the aggregate of his losses, determined in the following manner:

i.  when the taxpayer carries on the operations described in subparagraph a of the first paragraph of section 1177, the taxpayer’s income or loss, as determined under Part I for the year, from the cutting, acquiring, transportation and sale of forest products,

ii.  when the taxpayer carries on the operations described in subparagraph b of the first paragraph of section 1177, the taxpayer’s income or loss, as determined under Part I for the year, from the cutting, acquiring, transportation and sale of forest products, computed on the value of the forest products sold as established by the Minister, less the cost of cutting, acquisition, transportation and sale,

iii.  subject to subparagraph iii.1, when the taxpayer carries on the operations described in subparagraph c of the first paragraph of section 1177, the taxpayer’s income or loss, as determined under Part I for the year, from such operations,

iii.1.  where subparagraph iii applies in respect of the sale by the taxpayer of forest land or a timber limit, the income or loss referred to in that subparagraph iii in respect of that sale is deemed, except for the purposes of subparagraph iv, to be equal to the portion of the income or loss of the taxpayer, determined under Part I for the year, from the sale that can reasonably be attributed to standing timber,

iv.  when the taxpayer carries on the operations described in subparagraph d of the first paragraph of section 1177, the taxpayer’s income or loss from all sources, as determined under Part I, without taking into account any amount included or deducted in computing the income or loss contemplated in subparagraphs i to iii or from sources other than logging operations and the processing in Québec by him or on his behalf, transportation and sale of forest products, timber and products derived therefrom, minus the deduction described in subparagraph v,

v.  a taxpayer may deduct from the income determined under subparagraph iv an amount equal to 8% of the original cost to him of the depreciable property under Part I used by him during the year for the processing of forest products or products derived therefrom; but such amount shall not be less than 35% nor more than 65% of that income before the deduction under this subparagraph, and

vi.  when subparagraph iv applies and the taxpayer cuts standing timber outside Québec or acquires forest products derived therefrom, he may deduct from the income resulting from the application of subparagraph iv a portion equal to such proportion that the quantity of such timber cut outside Québec and of the forest products derived therefrom is of the total quantity of standing timber cut and forest products acquired by him during the year; and

(b)  a taxpayer’s share in the income of a partnership carrying on logging operations of which the taxpayer is a member is equal to the agreed proportion of the income (computed under paragraph a as if the partnership were, for the purposes of subparagraph d of the first paragraph of section 1177 and of this section, a taxpayer and as if paragraphs a to c and g of section 600 applied to this Part) in respect of the taxpayer for the partnership’s fiscal period that ends in the taxpayer’s taxation year.

1972, c. 23, s. 887; 1975, c. 22, s. 252; 1990, c. 59, s. 365; 1993, c. 64, s. 206; 1995, c. 63, s. 259; 1997, c. 3, s. 71; 1997, c. 14, s. 287; 2004, c. 21, s. 503; 2009, c. 15, s. 458.

BOOK II LIABILITY TO TAX

1972, c. 23.

1179. Subject to section 1180, every taxpayer shall pay, for a taxation year, a tax of 10% of the aggregate of his income from logging operations and of his share of the income of a partnership which carries on logging operations for a fiscal period of the partnership ending in that taxation year.

1972, c. 23, s. 888; 1993, c. 64, s. 207; 1997, c. 3, s. 71.

1180. No tax shall be payable for a taxation year in respect of

(a)  the income of a taxpayer, computed in the manner prescribed in paragraph a of section 1178, if that income does not exceed $65,000 for that taxation year; or

(b)  the share of a taxpayer in the income of a partnership carrying on logging operations of which the taxpayer is a member, if the income of the partnership, computed in the manner prescribed in paragraph b of section 1178, for a fiscal period of the partnership ending in that taxation year, does not exceed $65,000.

Where the taxation year referred to in subparagraph a of the first paragraph or, where the fiscal period of the taxpayer referred to in that subparagraph does not coincide with the taxpayer’s taxation year, the period determined in the third paragraph in respect of the taxpayer for that taxation year, or the fiscal period referred to in subparagraph b of that paragraph is less than 12 months, those subparagraphs are to be read as if the amount of $65,000 were replaced by the proportion of that amount that the number of days in the taxation year, period or fiscal period, as the case may be, is of 365.

For the purposes of the second paragraph, the period to be determined in respect of a taxpayer for a taxation year, where the taxpayer has only one fiscal period ending in the taxation year, corresponds to that fiscal period or, in other cases, to the period covered by the aggregate of months in the year or in the previous taxation year included in the fiscal periods ending in the taxation year.

1972, c. 23, s. 889; 1993, c. 64, s. 207; 1995, c. 63, s. 260; 1997, c. 3, s. 71; 2017, c. 1, s. 391.

1181. For the purposes of section 1180, all logging operations carried on by the same taxpayer as owner, lessee or operator, or of which the income from logging operations accrues to the benefit of the same taxpayer, are deemed to constitute a single logging operation and not separate operations.

1972, c. 23, s. 890; 1993, c. 64, s. 207.

1182. When logging operations are carried on by two or more affiliated or associated corporations, under the same general management, or of which the bulk of the profit accrues to the same shareholders, the income from logging operations of each such corporation shall be regarded as the income from logging operations of a same taxpayer for the purposes of section 1180.

1972, c. 23, s. 891; 1993, c. 64, s. 207; 1997, c. 3, s. 71.

1183. Every taxpayer may deduct from the tax payable by the taxpayer under Part I for a taxation year, one-third of the tax paid or, but for paragraph a of section 1184, that would be payable by the taxpayer for that taxation year under this Part.

1972, c. 23, s. 892; 1975, c. 22, s. 253; 1988, c. 4, s. 144; 1989, c. 5, s. 246; 1993, c. 64, s. 207; 1997, c. 85, s. 324; 2005, c. 1, s. 295.

1184. Where the tax otherwise payable by a taxpayer under section 1179 for a taxation year exceeds the aggregate of the amounts that he may effectively deduct for the year in respect of that tax under section 1183 and section 127 of the Income Tax Act (Revised Statutes of Canada, 1985, chapter 1, 5th Supplement),

(a)  the excess must be applied in reduction of that tax in the case where it does not result in a decrease in the amount that the taxpayer may effectively deduct for the year under the said section 127; and

(b)  in any other case, the excess must be applied to reduce, in addition to the amount provided for in section 1183, the tax otherwise payable under Part I, for the year or for any subsequent taxation year.

1975, c. 22, s. 254; 1988, c. 4, s. 145; 1989, c. 5, s. 247; 1993, c. 64, s. 208; 1997, c. 85, s. 325; 2005, c. 1, s. 296.

1184.1. (Repealed).

1997, c. 85, s. 326; 2005, c. 1, s. 297.

1185. Except where inconsistent with this Part, sections 1000 to 1024, 1037 to 1079.16 and paragraph a of section 1144 apply, with the necessary modifications, to this Part.

1972, c. 23, s. 893; 1973, c. 18, s. 36; 1987, c. 21, s. 97; 1993, c. 64, s. 209; 1995, c. 49, s. 236; 1995, c. 63, s. 261; 2009, c. 5, s. 570.

1185.1. Every taxpayer shall, subject to the second paragraph, pay to the Minister

(a)  one-half of the tax for the taxation year, estimated in accordance with section 1004, at or before the end of the taxpayer’s taxation year, and

(b)  the remainder of the tax so estimated for the taxation year, on or before the taxpayer’s balance-due day, within the meaning of section 1, for that year.

However, subparagraph a of the first paragraph does not require, where an individual dies in a taxation year, the payment of an amount, in respect of that individual, which would otherwise become payable under the said subparagraph on the day of his death or after that day.

1993, c. 64, s. 210; 1995, c. 1, s. 198; 1997, c. 3, s. 71; 1997, c. 31, s. 142.

1185.2. The taxpayer required to make a payment under section 1185.1 is deemed, for the purposes of sections 1038 and 1040, to have been liable to make payments based on the lesser of

(a)  the taxpayer’s tax payable for the taxation year, and

(b)  the taxpayer’s tax payable for the preceding taxation year.
