If a SIFT partnership becomes liable to pay the tax provided for in Part III.17 for a taxation year, the following rules apply:(a) paragraph f of section 600 is to be read as if “the income of the partnership, for a taxation year, from any source in Canada or from sources in another place” was replaced by “the amount by which the partnership’s income for a taxation year from any source in Canada or from sources in another place exceeds, the portion, determined in respect of each such source, of the partnership’s taxable non-portfolio earnings for the year that is applicable to that source”; and
(b) the SIFT partnership is deemed to have received a dividend in the taxation year from a taxable Canadian corporation equal to the amount by which the amount of the SIFT partnership’s taxable non-portfolio earnings for the taxation year exceeds the amount determined by the formula
A × (B + C).
In the formula in the first paragraph,(a) A is the amount of the SIFT partnership’s taxable non-portfolio earnings for the taxation year;
(b) B is the basic rate determined in respect of the SIFT partnership for the taxation year under the third paragraph of section 1129.71 or, if the SIFT partnership has an establishment outside Québec in the year, the aggregate of the following rates:i. that basic rate represented by the proportion that its business carried on in Québec is of the aggregate of its business carried on in Canada or in Québec and elsewhere, as that proportion would be determined under Chapters I and II of Title XXVII of the Regulation respecting the Taxation Act (chapter I-3, r. 1) if the SIFT partnership were a corporation, and
ii. the provincial SIFT tax rate, within the meaning assigned by subsection 1 of section 248 of the Income Tax Act (R.S.C. 1985, c. 1 (5th Suppl.)) and expressed as a percentage, that would be applicable to the SIFT partnership for the year if that definition applied in respect of the SIFT partnership for that year and if section 414 of the Income Tax Regulations made under that Act were read without reference to its subsection 4; and
(c) C is the net corporate income tax rate, within the meaning assigned by subsection 1 of section 248 of the Income Tax Act and expressed as a percentage, that is applicable to the SIFT partnership for the taxation year.
