157.4.1. Where a taxpayer is a member of a partnership at the end of a particular fiscal period of that partnership during which it acquired as the first purchaser a film certified as a Québec film within the meaning of the regulations made under section 130, he may deduct, in computing his income for a taxation year in which a fiscal period of the partnership ends and at the end of which he is a member thereof and has been a member without interruption from the end of the particular fiscal year, an amount not exceeding the amount by which his share of 50% of the aggregate of the amounts deducted by the partnership in computing its income for that fiscal period or a previous fiscal period, in respect of the film, under paragraph a of section 130, exceeds any amount deducted by the taxpayer under this section or section 157.4, in respect of the film, in computing his income for a previous taxation year.
Furthermore, where the partnership disposes of the film for the first time, the taxpayer contemplated in the first paragraph may deduct, in computing his income for the taxation year in which the fiscal period of the partnership ends and during which the disposition occurs, the amount by which his share of 50% of the aggregate of the amount that the partnership could have deducted in computing its income for that fiscal period, in respect of the film, under paragraph a of section 130, had it not been for the disposition, and the amounts deducted by the partnership in computing its income for a previous fiscal period, in respect of the film, under the said paragraph a, exceeds any amount deducted by the taxpayer under this section or section 157.4, in respect of the film, in computing his income for a previous taxation year.
For the purposes of this section, the share of a taxpayer is deemed to be equal to the lesser of:(a) his share in the profits of the partnership determined in the absence of this paragraph; and
(b) his share in the profits of the partnership determined in respect of the fiscal period of the partnership during which it acquired the film.
