(a)  100/11.9 of the lesser of the aggregate of all amounts each of which is the corporation’s tax exemption amount for the year in respect of a large investment project of the corporation, or of a partnership of which it is a member, that is referred to in the first paragraph of section 737.18.17.5 and the amount that is determined in its respect for the year under subparagraph ii of subparagraph d of the fifth paragraph; and

For the purposes of this section, a corporation’s tax exemption amount for a taxation year in respect of a large investment project of the corporation, or of a partnership of which it is a member, is equal to the lesser of the amount that is determined under the fourth paragraph, for the year, in relation to the large investment project and the balance of the corporation’s tax assistance limit for the year in respect of the project.

The balance of a corporation’s tax assistance limit, for a particular taxation year, in respect of a large investment project, is equal to

(a)  in the case of a large investment project of the corporation, the amount by which the corporation’s tax assistance limit, in relation to the project, determined in accordance with section 737.18.17.8, exceeds the aggregate of

(b)  in the case of a large investment project of a partnership of which the corporation is a member, the amount by which the corporation’s tax assistance limit for the particular year, in relation to the large investment project, determined in accordance with section 737.18.17.9 exceeds the aggregate of all amounts each of which is, for a preceding taxation year, in relation to the project, equal to the amount determined by the formula

A × B × C.

The amount to which the second paragraph refers, for a taxation year of the corporation, in relation to a large investment project, is determined by the formula

A × D × E.

In the formulas in the third and fourth paragraphs,

(a)  A is 1, unless the corporation has an establishment situated outside Québec for the taxation year, in which case it is the proportion that the corporation’s business carried on in Québec is of the aggregate of its business carried on in Canada or in Québec and elsewhere, as determined under subsection 2 of section 771 for the year;

(b)  B is the aggregate of, subject to subparagraph b of the first paragraph of section 737.18.17.7,

i.  8% of the amount by which the amount that would be determined in respect of the corporation for the year under section 771.2.1.2 if no reference were made to section 771.2.5.1 and, for the purposes of paragraph b of section 771.2.1.2, its taxable income for the year were computed without reference to section 737.18.17.5, exceeds the amount determined in its respect for the year under section 771.2.1.2, and

ii.  11.9% of the amount by which the amount that could be deducted in computing the corporation’s taxable income for the year under section 737.18.17.5 if no reference were made to this section exceeds the excess amount determined under subparagraph i; and

(e)  E is

i.  in the case of a large investment project of the corporation, the proportion that the amount that A would be in the formula in subparagraph a of the first paragraph of section 737.18.17.5, for the taxation year, in respect of the corporation, if the corporation’s income referred to in subparagraph a of the second paragraph of that section were derived only from its eligible activities, in relation to the large investment project, is of the total of the amount that A is in that formula for the year, in respect of the corporation, and the aggregate of all amounts each of which is the corporation’s share of the amount that D is in the formula in subparagraph b of that first paragraph for the fiscal period of a partnership of which the corporation is a member that ends in the year, or

ii.  in the case of a large investment project of a partnership of which the corporation is a member, the proportion that the corporation’s share of the amount that D would be in the formula in subparagraph b of the first paragraph of section 737.18.17.5, for the fiscal period of the partnership that ends in the taxation year, if the partnership’s income referred to in subparagraph d of the second paragraph of that section were derived only from its eligible activities, in relation to the large investment project, is of the total of the amount that A is in the formula in subparagraph a of that first paragraph for the year, in respect of the corporation, and the aggregate of all amounts each of which is the corporation’s share of the amount that D is for the fiscal period of a partnership of which the corporation is a member that ends in the year.

For the purpose of determining the amount referred to in subparagraph i of subparagraph a of the third paragraph or in subparagraph b of that paragraph for any preceding taxation year for which section 733.0.5.1 applies to the corporation, subparagraph b of the fifth paragraph is to be read as if

(a)  the amount that is deducted by the corporation in computing its taxable income for the year under section 737.18.17.5 were increased by the amount by which its non-capital loss for the year exceeds the amount that would be that loss if it were determined without reference to section 733.0.5.1; and

(b)  the corporation’s taxable income for the year, determined without reference to section 737.18.17.5, were equal to the amount that, but for this section, would be determined in its respect for the year under section 737.18.17.5.

For the purposes of subparagraph e of the fifth paragraph, the corporation’s share of an amount for a partnership’s fiscal period is equal to the agreed proportion of that amount in respect of the corporation for the partnership’s fiscal period.
