In the formulas in the first paragraph,(a) A is the aggregate of all amounts each of which is the amount obtained by multiplying the qualified corporation’s income for the taxation year deriving from the qualified corporation’s eligible activities for the year in respect of a private woodlot by the proportion that the number of days in the year that are included in the qualified corporation’s eligibility period in respect of the private woodlot, is of the number of days in the year;
(b) B is the aggregate of all amounts each of which is the amount obtained by multiplying the qualified corporation’s loss for the taxation year deriving from the qualified corporation’s eligible activities for the year in respect of a private woodlot by the proportion that the number of days in the year that are included in the qualified corporation’s eligibility period in respect of the private woodlot, is of the number of days in the year;
(c) C is the aggregate of all amounts each of which is the qualified corporation’s share of the amount obtained by multiplying the partnership’s income for its fiscal period that ends in the year deriving from the partnership’s eligible activities for that fiscal period in respect of a private woodlot by the proportion that the number of days in the partnership’s fiscal period that are included in the partnership’s eligibility period in respect of the private woodlot, is of the number of days in the fiscal period; and
(d) D is the aggregate of all amounts each of which is the qualified corporation’s share of the amount obtained by multiplying the partnership’s loss for its fiscal period that ends in the year deriving from the partnership’s eligible activities for that fiscal period in respect of a private woodlot by the proportion that the number of days in the partnership’s fiscal period that are included in the partnership’s eligibility period in respect of the private woodlot, is of the number of days in the fiscal period.
The documents to which the first paragraph refers are(a) the prescribed form containing the prescribed information; and
(b) a copy of the valid qualification certificate issued to the qualified corporation or to the partnership, as the case may be, attesting to its capacity as a certified forest producer in respect of the private woodlot.
For the purposes of subparagraphs c and d of the second paragraph, the share, for a fiscal period of a partnership, of a qualified corporation that is a member of the partnership of the income or loss of the partnership deriving from the partnership’s eligible activities for the fiscal period in respect of a private woodlot, is equal to the proportion of that income or loss that the qualified corporation’s share of the income or loss of the partnership for the partnership’s fiscal period that ends in the qualified corporation’s taxation year, is of the income or loss of the partnership for the fiscal period, on the assumption that, if the income and loss of the partnership for the fiscal period are nil, the partnership’s income for the fiscal period is equal to $1,000,000.
