1029.8.10. A taxpayer, other than a tax-exempt taxpayer within the meaning of paragraph b.1 of section 1029.8.1, who carries on a business in Canada and has entered into an agreement with a person or partnership under which the parties agree to undertake scientific research and experimental development in Québec or to cause scientific research and experimental development to be undertaken in Québec on their behalf as part of a contract and in respect of which agreement the Minister of Higher Education, Research, Science and Technology has issued a certificate recognizing that the scientific research and experimental development will be undertaken as part of a pre-competitive research project, is deemed, subject to the second paragraph, to have paid to the Minister, on the taxpayer’s balance-due day for the taxpayer’s taxation year during which the scientific research and experimental development related to a business of the taxpayer was undertaken, on account of the taxpayer’s tax payable for that year under this Part, if the taxpayer encloses the prescribed form containing the prescribed information and a copy of the certificate issued by the Minister of Higher Education, Research, Science and Technology with the fiscal return the taxpayer is required to file under section 1000 for that year, or would be required to file if tax were payable under this Part by the taxpayer, an amount equal to 35% of the aggregate of
(a) the total or part of a qualified expenditure the taxpayer has made in Québec that can reasonably be attributed to such scientific research and experimental development directly undertaken by the taxpayer in that year;
(b) the total or part of a qualified expenditure the taxpayer has made in Québec under a contract entered into with a person or partnership with whom or with which the taxpayer was not dealing at arm’s length at the time the contract was entered into, that can reasonably be attributed to such scientific research and experimental development directly undertaken by the person or partnership on behalf of the taxpayer in that year; and
(c) 80% of an amount representing the total or part of a qualified expenditure the taxpayer has made in Québec under a contract entered into with a person or partnership with whom or with which the taxpayer was dealing at arm’s length at the time the contract was entered into, that can reasonably be attributed to such scientific research and experimental development directly undertaken by the person or partnership on behalf of the taxpayer in that year.
