97.1. Where a corporation contemplated in section 97 ceases to exist owing to an amalgamation, within the meaning of section 544 of the Taxation Act, before paying the tax for which it is debtor under the said section 97, the obligations binding on the corporation that ceases to exist are binding on the corporation resulting from the amalgamation.
Where a corporation contemplated in section 97 ceases to exist for any other reason, before paying the tax, the obligations binding on the corporation are binding on its directors jointly and severally, in office at the time when it ceases to exist.
