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.
