The agreement to which section 737.18.17.9 refers in respect of a particular fiscal period of a partnership, in relation to a large investment project of the partnership, is the agreement under which the partnership and all its members agree on an amount in respect of the partnership’s tax assistance limit in relation to the large investment project, for the purpose of allocating to each corporation that is a member of the partnership, for the taxation year in which the particular fiscal period ends, its share of the agreed amount, which amount must not be greater than the amount by which the amount described in the second paragraph exceeds the aggregate of(a) the aggregate of all amounts each of which is the amount so agreed on, in respect of a preceding fiscal period of the partnership, in relation to the particular large investment project;
(b) the aggregate of all amounts each of which is the partnership’s contribution exemption amount for a preceding fiscal period, in respect of the large investment project, determined in accordance with the second paragraph of section 34.1.0.3 of the Act respecting the Régie de l’assurance maladie du Québec (chapter R-5); and (c) where, at any time in the particular fiscal period, the partnership transfers its recognized business in relation to the large investment project to a corporation or another partnership, the amount that was transferred to the corporation or the other partnership pursuant to the agreement referred to in section 737.18.17.12 in respect of the transfer.
The amount to which the portion of the first paragraph before subparagraph a refers is 15% of the total qualified capital investments of the partnership on the date of the beginning of the tax-free period in respect of the large investment project, unless the partnership acquired all or substantially all of the recognized business in relation to the project, in which case it is the amount that is transferred to the partnership pursuant to the agreement referred to in section 737.18.17.12 in respect of the acquisition.
The share of a corporation that is a member of the partnership of the amount agreed on under an agreement referred to in the first paragraph, in respect of a fiscal period, is the agreed proportion of that amount in respect of the corporation for the partnership’s fiscal period.
