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 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.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 a corporation is deemed to have paid to the Minister, under the first paragraph, on account of its tax payable for a taxation year under this Part in respect of a property that is a qualified production must not exceed the amount by which, where the property is co-produced by the corporation and one or more other qualified corporations, the amount obtained by applying to $350,000 the corporation’s share, expressed as a percentage, of the production costs in relation to the production of the property that is specified in the favourable advance ruling given or the qualification certificate issued, as the case may be, by the Société de développement des entreprises culturelles in respect of the property or, in any other case, $350,000, exceeds 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 that paragraph in respect of the property for a preceding taxation year exceeds the aggregate of all amounts each of which is an amount that the corporation is required to pay under section 1129.4.0.16.2 in respect of the property for a preceding taxation year.
