1029.8.36.166.60.42. For the purposes of this division, the assets that apply to a corporation for a taxation year are those that are shown in its financial statements submitted to the shareholders or, where such financial statements have not been prepared, or have not been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, that would be shown if such financial statements had been so prepared, for its preceding taxation year or, where the corporation is in its first fiscal period, at the beginning of that fiscal period.
However, where the corporation is a cooperative, the first paragraph is to be read as if “submitted to the shareholders” were replaced by “submitted to the members”.
In computing the assets of a corporation, the amount of the surplus reassessment of its property and the amount of its incorporeal assets must be subtracted, to the extent that the amount shown exceeds the expenditure made in their respect.
Where all or part of an expenditure made in respect of incorporeal assets consists of shares of the corporation’s or cooperative’s capital stock, all or the part of the expenditure, as the case may be, is deemed to be nil.
Where, in a taxation year, a corporation is a member of an associated group, the assets that apply to the corporation for the year are equal to the amount by which the aggregate of the assets of the corporation and of those of each other corporation that is a member of the group, determined in accordance with this section, exceeds the aggregate of the amount of investments the corporations own in each other and the balance of accounts between the corporations.
