1129.0.5. Every taxpayer who is a member of a partnership and who is deemed to have paid an amount to the Minister, under section 1029.8.7, on account of the taxpayer’s tax payable under Part I, in relation to a university research contract or an eligible research contract under which scientific research and experimental development has been undertaken, shall pay the tax referred to in the second paragraph for the taxation year in which a fiscal period of the partnership ends, in this section referred to as the “fiscal period of repayment”, in which an amount relating to a qualified expenditure paid in respect of the contract is, directly or indirectly, refunded or otherwise paid to the partnership or taxpayer or allocated to a payment to be made by the partnership or taxpayer.
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 taxpayer would be deemed to have paid to the Minister for a taxation year under section 1029.8.7, in relation to the contract, if the taxpayer’s share of the income or loss of the partnership for the partnership’s fiscal period that ends in the taxation year and the partnership’s income or loss for that fiscal period were the same as those for the fiscal period of repayment, exceeds the total of (a) the aggregate of all amounts each of which is an amount that the taxpayer would be deemed to have paid to the Minister under that section, for a taxation year, in relation to the contract, ifi. every amount that is so refunded, paid or allocated at or before the end of the fiscal period of repayment, in relation to the amount of a qualified expenditure paid by the partnership in respect of the contract, were refunded, paid or allocated in the partnership’s fiscal period in which the scientific research and experimental development to which the expenditure relates was undertaken, and
ii. the taxpayer’s share of the income or loss of the partnership for the partnership’s fiscal period that ends in the taxation year and the partnership’s income or loss for that fiscal period were the same as those for the fiscal period of repayment; and
(b) the aggregate of all amounts each of which is a tax that the taxpayer would be required to pay to the Minister under this section for a taxation year preceding the taxation year in which the fiscal period of repayment ends, in relation to the contract, if the taxpayer’s share of the income or loss of the partnership for the partnership’s fiscal period that ends in the preceding taxation year and the partnership’s income or loss for that fiscal period were the same as those for the fiscal period of repayment.
For the purposes of the second paragraph, an amount referred to in subparagraph i of subparagraph a of that paragraph that is refunded or otherwise paid to the taxpayer or allocated to a payment to be made by the taxpayer 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 taxpayer’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.
