For the purposes of section 37, the value of the benefit received or enjoyed by an individual for a taxation year where, because of a previous, the current or an intended office or employment of the individual, the individual is provided coverage during the year under a plan for the insurance of persons, is equal to

(a)  in the case of a plan for the insurance of persons which provides coverage through insurance with an insurer, the amount established for the year under sections 37.0.1.2 and 37.0.1.3 in respect of the individual in relation to the plan;

(b)  in the case of a plan for the insurance of persons which provides coverage otherwise than through insurance with an insurer, the amount established for the year under sections 37.0.1.4 to 37.0.1.6 in respect of the individual in relation to the plan.

For the purposes of this section and sections 37.0.1.2 to 37.0.1.6, the following rules apply:

(a)  any premium paid in respect of an individual, because of the individual’s office or employment with an employer, under a plan for the insurance of persons, by a person to whom the employer is related, is deemed to be a premium paid by the employer and not by the person to whom the employer is related;

(b)  any amount paid as a dividend, return or refund of premiums, under a plan for the insurance of persons, to a person to whom the employer is related, in relation to the coverage and benefits enjoyed by the employees of the employer under the plan, is deemed to be a dividend, a return or a refund of premiums paid, to the employer and not to the person to whom the employer is related;

(c)  where, in a taxation year, an employer pays, under a plan for the insurance of persons, an additional premium in respect of the coverage or benefits under the plan enjoyed by the employees for a period prior to that year, the additional premium is deemed to be a premium paid at that time in respect of the coverage or benefits enjoyed by the employees for that year and not in respect of the coverage or benefits enjoyed by the employees for the preceding year;

(d)  “tax” does not include tax payable by the employer under Part IV.1 or Part VI, if any.
