1029.8.36.0.3.98. Despite section 1029.8.36.0.3.96, no amount may be deemed to have been paid to the Minister by a qualified corporation for a taxation year in respect of the portion of its eligible digital conversion costs for the year that corresponds to the portion of a qualified expenditure of the corporation that relates to the acquisition costs of a qualified property that the corporation incurred, where, at any time on or before the date described in the second 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 exclusively or almost exclusively by the corporation, on the one hand, to carry out eligible digital conversion activities that relate, in whole or in part, to an eligible media of the corporation and, on the other hand, in an establishment of the corporation situated in Québec in which the eligible media is produced or from which it is disseminated.

The date to which the first paragraph refers is the earlier of

(a)  the 730th day of the period that begins on the date of the acquisition of the property by the corporation; and

(b)  the corporation’s filing-due date for the year.

For the purposes of the first paragraph, where, at any time, a corporation disposes of a 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 this section, a print media is deemed to be an eligible media for a particular period that follows the last day of the eligibility period, if the conditions of section 18.4 of Schedule A to the Act respecting the sectoral parameters of certain fiscal measures (chapter P-5.1) are met in its respect for that period.
