1029.8.11. Where a particular partnership 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 Economic Development, Innovation and Export Trade has issued a certificate recognizing that the scientific research and experimental development will be undertaken as part of a pre-competitive research project, each taxpayer who is a member of the particular partnership at the end of a fiscal period of the particular partnership in which the scientific research and experimental development related to a business of the particular partnership was undertaken, who is not a tax-exempt taxpayer within the meaning of paragraph b.1 of section 1029.8.1 or a specified member of the particular partnership in that fiscal period, is deemed, subject to the second paragraph, to have paid to the Minister, on the taxpayer’s balance-due day for that taxation year, 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 Economic Development, Innovation and Export Trade with the fiscal return the taxpayer is required to file under section 1000 for the taxpayer’s taxation year in which the fiscal period ends, or would be required to file if tax were payable under this Part by the taxpayer, 35% of the taxpayer’s share of an amount equal to the aggregate of(a) the total or part of a qualified expenditure the particular partnership has made in Québec that can reasonably be attributed to such scientific research and experimental development directly undertaken by the particular partnership in that fiscal period;
(b) the total or part of a qualified expenditure the particular partnership has made in Québec under a contract entered into with a person or another partnership with whom or with which a member of the particular partnership 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 the other partnership on behalf of the particular partnership in that fiscal period; and
(c) 80% of an amount representing the total or part of a qualified expenditure the particular partnership has made in Québec under a contract entered into with a person or another partnership with whom or with which all the members of the particular partnership were 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 the other partnership on behalf of the particular partnership in that fiscal period.
For the purpose of computing the payments that a taxpayer is required to make under section 1025 or 1026, subparagraph a of the first paragraph of section 1027, or any of sections 1145, 1159.7, 1175 and 1175.19 where they refer to that subparagraph a, the taxpayer is deemed to have paid to the Minister, on account of the aggregate of the taxpayer’s tax payable for the year under this Part and of the taxpayer’s tax payable for the year under Parts IV, IV.1, VI and VI.1, on the date on or before which each payment is required to be made, an amount equal to the lesser of(a) the amount by which the amount determined under the first paragraph for the year exceeds the aggregate of all amounts each of which is the portion of the amount that may reasonably be considered to be deemed to have been paid to the Minister under this paragraph in the year but before that date; and
(b) the amount by which the amount of that payment, determined without reference to this chapter, exceeds the aggregate of all amounts each of which is an amount that is deemed, under this chapter but otherwise than under the first paragraph, to have been paid to the Minister on that date, for the purpose of computing that payment.
For the purposes of the first paragraph, the taxpayer’s share of an amount is equal to such proportion of that amount as the share of the taxpayer of the income or loss of the particular partnership for the fiscal period of that partnership ending in the taxpayer’s taxation year is of the income or loss of that partnership for that fiscal period, on the assumption that, if the income and loss of the particular partnership for that fiscal period are nil, the particular partnership’s income for that fiscal period is equal to $1,000,000.
