40. Where the amalgamation or annexation comes into force after the date on which the property assessment roll must be reproduced in the summary of the municipality for the year of reference, the adaptations provided for in the first paragraph of section 36, in subparagraph 1 of the first paragraph of section 37 and in section 38 also apply for the purpose of determining if the new municipality is eligible for the second fiscal year that follows the fiscal year during which the amalgamation or annexation comes into force and, if eligible, of computing the equalization amount to which it is entitled for that subsequent fiscal year.
Despite the foregoing, they do not apply where the summary of the new municipality for the year of reference is drawn up, in anticipation of the amalgamation or annexation, instead of or in addition to the summaries of the former municipalities for that fiscal year.
The applicable adaptations must be taken into consideration for the purpose of establishing, for the year of reference, the median of the standardized property values per inhabitant or the average values of dwellings. The summary referred to in the first paragraph of section 36 is also the summary referred to in section 15.
Where one of the former municipalities had revenues from the application of section 222 of the Act for the first fiscal year preceding the year of reference, the value resulting from the capitalization determined under section 10 must, for the purposes of subparagraph 1 of the first paragraph of section 37, be included in the standardized property value of that former municipality even if that capitalization is determined on the basis of the data attributed to the new municipality in the first financial report of that municipality.
