157.17. Where a corporation is a member of a partnership at the end of a particular fiscal period of the partnership during which the partnership made a contribution to the Réseau d’investissement social du Québec, the corporation may, in computing its income for a taxation year in which that fiscal period ends, deduct an amount equal to half the corporation’s share of the contribution, otherwise deductible in computing the income of the partnership from a business.
For the purposes of the first paragraph, the share of a corporation of a contribution made by a partnership of which the corporation is a member is equal to the proportion of the contribution that the share of the corporation of the income or loss of the partnership for the fiscal period of that partnership ending in the taxation year of the corporation is of the income or loss of the partnership for that fiscal period, on the assumption that, if the income and loss of the partnership for that fiscal period are nil, the partnership’s income for that fiscal period is equal to $1,000,000.
