1129.4.24.1. Every corporation that is deemed to have paid an amount to the Minister, under section 1029.8.36.0.73, on account of its tax payable under Part I, in relation to acquisition costs incurred in respect of qualified property in the course of carrying on a recognized business, shall pay the tax referred to in the second paragraph for a taxation year, in this section referred to as the “particular year”, if, at any time in the period described in the third paragraph, the property ceases, otherwise than by reason of its loss, the involuntary destruction of the property by fire, theft or water, a major breakdown of the property or its obsolescence, to be used by the corporation exclusively in the international trade zone and, exclusively or almost exclusively, to earn income from activities shown on the certificate issued to the corporation in respect of the recognized business and carried on in that zone by the corporation.
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 corporation is deemed to have paid to the Minister under section 1029.8.36.0.73 or 1029.8.36.0.77, in relation to the acquisition costs, exceeds the aggregate of all amounts each of which is a tax that the corporation is required to pay to the Minister under section 1129.4.24, for a taxation year preceding the particular year, in relation to the acquisition costs.
The period to which the first paragraph refers is the period that begins the day after the corporation’s filing-due date for the taxation year preceding the particular year and ends on the day that is the earlier of the last day of the three-year period following the beginning of the use of the property by the corporation and the corporation’s filing-due date for the particular year.
For the purposes of the first paragraph, where, at any time, a corporation disposes of qualified property for proceeds of disposition equal to or greater than 10% of the cost of acquiring it, the corporation is deemed not to have ceased to use, at that time, the property by reason of its obsolescence; in that respect, where the parties to the sale are not dealing with each other at arm’s length, the proceeds of disposition of the property are deemed to be equal to its fair market value.
