This Act may be cited as the Income Tax Act.
An income tax shall be paid, as required by this Act, on the taxable income for each taxation year of every person resident in Canada at any time in the year.
The taxable income of a taxpayer for a taxation year is the taxpayer’s income for the year plus the additions and minus the deductions permitted by Division C.
Where a person who is not taxable under subsection 2(1) for a taxation year
was employed in Canada,
carried on a business in Canada, or
disposed of a taxable Canadian property,
at any time in the year or a previous year, an income tax shall be paid, as required by this Act, on the person’s taxable income earned in Canada for the year determined in accordance with Division D.
The income of a taxpayer for a taxation year for the purposes of this Part is the taxpayer’s income for the year determined by the following rules:
determine the total of all amounts each of which is the taxpayer’s income for the year (other than a taxable capital gain from the disposition of a property) from a source inside or outside Canada, including, without restricting the generality of the foregoing, the taxpayer’s income for the year from each office, employment, business and property,
determine the amount, if any, by which
the total of
all of the taxpayer’s taxable capital gains for the year from dispositions of property other than listed personal property, and
the taxpayer’s taxable net gain for the year from dispositions of listed personal property,
exceeds
the amount, if any, by which the taxpayer’s allowable capital losses for the year from dispositions of property other than listed personal property exceed the taxpayer’s allowable business investment losses for the year,
determine the amount, if any, by which the total determined under paragraph (a) plus the amount determined under paragraph (b) exceeds the total of the deductions permitted by Subdivision E in computing the taxpayer’s income for the year (except to the extent that those deductions, if any, have been taken into account in determining the total referred to in paragraph (a), and
determine the amount, if any, by which the amount determined under paragraph (c) exceeds the total of all amounts each of which is the taxpayer’s loss for the year from an office, employment, business or property or the taxpayer’s allowable business investment loss for the year,
and for the purposes of this Part,
where an amount is determined under paragraph (d) for the year in respect of the taxpayer, the taxpayer’s income for the year is the amount so determined, and
in any other case, the taxpayer shall be deemed to have income for the year in an amount equal to zero.
For the purposes of this Act,
a taxpayer’s income or loss for a taxation year from an office, employment, business, property or other source, or from sources in a particular place, is the taxpayer’s income or loss, as the case may be, computed in accordance with this Act on the assumption that the taxpayer had during the taxation year no income or loss except from that source or no income or loss except from those sources, as the case may be, and was allowed no deductions in computing the taxpayer’s income for the taxation year except such deductions as may reasonably be regarded as wholly applicable to that source or to those sources, as the case may be, and except such part of any other deductions as may reasonably be regarded as applicable thereto; and
where the business carried on by a taxpayer or the duties of the office or employment performed by a taxpayer was carried on or were performed, as the case may be, partly in one place and partly in another place, the taxpayer’s income or loss for the taxation year from the business carried on, or the duties performed, by the taxpayer in a particular place is the taxpayer’s income or loss, as the case may be, computed in accordance with this Act on the assumption that the taxpayer had during the taxation year no income or loss except from the part of the business that was carried on in that particular place or no income or loss except from the part of those duties that were performed in that particular place, as the case may be, and was allowed no deductions in computing the taxpayer’s income for the taxation year except such deductions as may reasonably be regarded as wholly applicable to that part of the business or to those duties, as the case may be, and except such part of any other deductions as may reasonably be regarded as applicable thereto.
Subject to subsection 4(3), in applying subsection 4(1) for the purposes of this Part, no deductions permitted by sections 60 to 64 apply either wholly or in part to a particular source or to sources in a particular place.
In applying subsection 4(1) for the purposes of subsections 104(22) and 104(22.1) and sections 115 and 126,
subject to paragraph (b), all deductions permitted in computing a taxpayer’s income for a taxation year for the purposes of this Part, except any deduction permitted by any of paragraphs 60(b) to (o), (p), (r) and (v) to (z), apply either wholly or in part to a particular source or to sources in a particular place; and
any deduction permitted by subsection 104(6) or 104(12) shall not apply either wholly or in part to a source in a country other than Canada.

a benefit shall be deemed to have been enjoyed by a taxpayer at any time an obligation issued by any debtor (including the taxpayer) is settled or extinguished; and
the value of that benefit shall be deemed to be the forgiven amount at that time in respect of the obligation.
For the purpose of subsection 6(15), the forgiven amount at any time in respect of an obligation issued by a debtor has the meaning that would be assigned by subsection 80(1) if
the obligation were a commercial obligation (within the meaning assigned by subsection 80(1)) issued by the debtor;

an attendant to assist the individual in the performance of the individual’s duties if the individual is a person in respect of whom an amount is deductible, or would but for paragraph 118.3(1)(c) be deductible, under section 118.3 in computing a taxpayer’s tax payable under this Part for the year.

top-up disability payment in respect of an individual means a payment made by an employer of the individual as a consequence of the insolvency of an insurer that was obligated to make payments to the individual under a disability policy where
the payment is made to an insurer so that periodic payments made to the individual under the policy will not be reduced because of the insolvency, or will be reduced by a lesser amount, or
the following conditions are satisfied:
the payment is made to the individual to replace, in whole or in part, periodic payments that would have been made under the policy to the individual but for the insolvency, and
the payment is made under an arrangement by which the individual is required to reimburse the payment to the extent that the individual subsequently receives an amount from an insurer in respect of the portion of the periodic payments that the payment was intended to replace.
For the purposes of paragraphs (a) and (b), an insurance policy that replaces a disability policy is deemed to be the same policy as, and a continuation of, the disability policy that was replaced.
Where an employer of an individual makes a top-up disability payment in respect of the individual,
the payment is, for the purpose of paragraph 6(1)(a), deemed not to be a benefit received or enjoyed by the individual;
the payment is, for the purpose of paragraph 6(1)(f), deemed not to be a contribution made by the employer to or under the disability insurance plan of which the disability policy in respect of which the payment is made is or was a part; and
if the payment is made to the individual, it is, for the purpose of paragraph 6(1)(f), deemed to be an amount payable to the individual pursuant to the plan.
For the purpose of paragraph (1)(a), an amount paid at any time in respect of a housing loss (other than an eligible housing loss) to or on behalf of a taxpayer or a person who does not deal at arm’s length with the taxpayer in respect of, in the course of or because of, an office or employment is deemed to be a benefit received by the taxpayer at that time because of the office or employment.
For the purpose of paragraph (1)(a), an amount paid at any time in a taxation year in respect of an eligible housing loss to or on behalf of a taxpayer or a person who does not deal at arm’s length with the taxpayer in respect of, in the course of or because of, an office or employment is deemed to be a benefit received by the taxpayer at that time because of the office or employment to the extent of the amount, if any, by which
one half of the amount, if any, by which the total of all amounts each of which is so paid in the year or in a preceding taxation year exceeds $15,000

In this section, housing loss at any time in respect of a residence of a taxpayer means the amount, if any, by which the greater of
the adjusted cost base of the residence at that time to the taxpayer or to another person who does not deal at arm’s length with the taxpayer, and
the highest fair market value of the residence within the six-month period that ends at that time exceeds
if the residence is disposed of by the taxpayer or the other person before the end of the first taxation year that begins after that time, the lesser of
the proceeds of disposition of the residence, and
the fair market value of the residence at that time, and
in any other case, the fair market value of the residence at that time.
In this section, eligible housing loss in respect of a residence designated by a taxpayer means a housing loss in respect of an eligible relocation of the taxpayer or a person who does not deal at arm’s length with the taxpayer and, for these purposes, no more than one residence may be so designated in respect of an eligible relocation.

the corporation,
the Canadian-controlled private corporation, the share of the capital stock of which has been agreed to be sold by the corporation, and
the Canadian-controlled private corporation that is the employer of the employee,
in applying paragraph (1)(a) in respect of the employee’s acquisition of the share, the reference in that paragraph to “the taxation year in which the employee acquired the securities” shall be read as a reference to “the taxation year in which the employee disposed of or exchanged the securities”.
For the purposes of this section, a mutual fund trust is deemed not to deal at arm’s length with a corporation only if the trust controls the corporation.
For the purposes of this subsection, subsection (1.1), Subdivision C, paragraph 110(1)(d.01), subparagraph 110(1)(d.1)(ii) and subsections 110(2.1) and 147(10.4), and subject to subsection (1.31), a taxpayer is deemed to dispose of securities that are identical properties in the order in which the taxpayer acquired them and, for this purpose,
if a taxpayer acquires a particular security (other than under circumstances to which subsection (1.1) or 147(10.1) applies) at a time when the taxpayer also acquires or holds one or more other securities that are identical to the particular security and are, or were, acquired under circumstances to which subsection (1.1) or 147(10.1) applied, the taxpayer is deemed to have acquired the particular security at the time immediately preceding the earliest of the times at which the taxpayer acquired those other securities; and
if a taxpayer acquires, at the same time, two or more identical securities under circumstances to which subsection (1.1) applied, the taxpayer is deemed to have acquired the securities in the order in which the agreements under which the taxpayer acquired the rights to acquire the securities were made.
Where a taxpayer acquires, at a particular time, a particular security under an agreement referred to in subsection (1) and, on a day that is no later than 30 days after the day that includes the particular time, the taxpayer disposes of a security that is identical to the particular security, the particular security is deemed to be the security that is so disposed of if
no other securities that are identical to the particular security are acquired, or disposed of, by the taxpayer after the particular time and before the disposition;
the taxpayer identifies the particular security as the security so disposed of in the taxpayer’s return of income under this Part for the year in which the disposition occurs; and
the taxpayer has not so identified the particular security, in accordance with this subsection, in connection with the disposition of any other security.
Where
a taxpayer disposes of rights under an agreement referred to in subsection (1) to acquire securities of a particular qualifying person that made the agreement or of a qualifying person with which it does not deal at arm’s length (which rights and securities are referred to in this subsection as the “exchanged option” and the “old securities”, respectively),
the taxpayer receives no consideration for the disposition of the exchanged option other than rights under an agreement with a person (in this subsection referred to as the “designated person”) that is
the particular person,
a qualifying person with which the particular person does not deal at arm’s length immediately after the disposition,
a corporation formed on the amalgamation or merger of the particular person and one or more other corporations,
a mutual fund trust to which the particular person has transferred property in circumstances to which subsection 132.2(1) applied,
a qualifying person with which the corporation referred to in subparagraph (iii) does not deal at arm’s length immediately after the disposition, or
if the disposition is before 2013 and the old securities were equity in a SIFT wind-up entity that was at the time of the disposition a mutual fund trust, a SIFT wind-up corporation in respect of the SIFT wind-up entity
to acquire securities of the designated person or a qualifying person with which the designated person does not deal at arm’s length (which rights and securities are referred to in this subsection as the “new option” and the “new securities”, respectively), and
the amount, if any, by which
the total value of the new securities immediately after the disposition
exceeds
the total amount payable by the taxpayer to acquire the new securities under the new option
does not exceed the amount, if any, by which
the total value of the old securities immediately before the disposition
exceeds
the amount payable by the taxpayer to acquire the old securities under the exchanged option,
for the purposes of this section,
the taxpayer is deemed (other than for the purposes of subparagraph (9)(d)(ii)) not to have disposed of the exchanged option and not to have acquired the new option,
the new option is deemed to be the same option as, and a continuation of, the exchanged option, and
if the designated person is not the particular person, the designated person is deemed to be the same person as, and a continuation of, the particular person.
For the purposes of this section and paragraphs 110(1)(d) to (d.1), where
a taxpayer disposes of or exchanges securities of a particular qualifying person that were acquired by the taxpayer under circumstances to which subsection (1.1) applied (in this subsection referred to as the “exchanged securities”),
the taxpayer receives no consideration for the disposition or exchange of the exchanged securities other than securities (in this subsection referred to as the “new securities”) of
the particular qualifying person,
a qualifying person with which the particular qualifying person does not deal at arm’s length immediately after the disposition or exchange,
a corporation formed on the amalgamation or merger of the particular qualifying person and one or more other corporations,
a mutual fund trust to which the particular qualifying person has transferred property in circumstances to which subsection 132.2(1) applied, or
a qualifying person with which the corporation referred to in subparagraph (iii) does not deal at arm’s length immediately after the disposition or exchange, and
the total value of the new securities immediately after the disposition or exchange does not exceed the total value of the old securities immediately before the disposition or exchange,
the following rules apply:
the taxpayer is deemed not to have disposed of or exchanged the exchanged securities and not to have acquired the new securities,
the new securities are deemed to be the same securities as, and a continuation of, the exchanged securities, except for the purpose of determining if the new securities are identical to any other securities,
the qualifying person that issued the new securities is deemed to be the same person as, and a continuation of, the qualifying person that issued the exchanged securities, and
where the exchanged securities were issued under an agreement, the new securities are deemed to have been issued under that agreement.
For the purposes of this section and paragraph 110(1)(d.1), a taxpayer is deemed not to have disposed of a share acquired under circumstances to which subsection (1.1) applied solely because of subsection 128.1(4).
For the purposes of subsections (1) and 110(1), if a taxpayer receives at a particular time one or more particular amounts in respect of rights of the taxpayer to acquire securities under an agreement referred to in subsection (1) ceasing to be exercisable in accordance with the terms of the agreement, and the cessation would not, if this Act were read without reference to this subsection, constitute a transfer or disposition of those rights by the taxpayer,
the taxpayer is deemed to have disposed of those rights at the particular time to a person with whom the taxpayer was dealing at arm’s length and to have received the particular amounts as consideration for the disposition; and
for the purpose of determining the amount, if any, of the benefit that is deemed to have been received as a consequence of the disposition referred to in paragraph (a), the taxpayer is deemed to have paid an amount to acquire those rights equal to the amount, if any, by which
the amount paid by the taxpayer to acquire those rights (determined without reference to this subsection)
exceeds
the total of all amounts each of which is an amount received by the taxpayer before the particular time in respect of the cessation.
If a security is held by a trustee in trust or otherwise, whether absolutely, conditionally or contingently, for an employee, the employee is deemed, for the purposes of this section and paragraphs 110(1)(d) to (d.1),
to have acquired the security at the time the trust began to so hold it; and
to have exchanged or disposed of the security at the time the trust exchanged it or disposed of it to any person other than the employee.
If a particular qualifying person has agreed to sell or issue securities of the particular person, or of a qualifying person with which it does not deal at arm’s length, to an employee of the particular person or of a qualifying person with which it does not deal at arm’s length,
except as provided by this section, the employee is deemed to have neither received nor enjoyed any benefit under or because of the agreement; and
the income for a taxation year of any person is deemed to be not less than its income for the year would have been if a benefit had not been conferred on the employee by the sale or issue of the securities.
For greater certainty it is hereby declared that, where a person to whom any provision of subsection 7(1) would otherwise apply has ceased to be an employee before all things have happened that would make that provision applicable, subsection 7(1) shall continue to apply as though the person were still an employee and as though the employment were still in existence.
This section does not apply if the benefit conferred by the agreement was not received in respect of, in the course of, or by virtue of, the employment.
If a particular qualifying person has entered into an arrangement under which securities of the particular person, or of a qualifying person with which it does not deal at arm’s length, are sold or issued by either person to a trustee to be held by the trustee in trust for sale to an employee of the particular person or of a qualifying person with which it does not deal at arm’s length,
for the purposes of this section (other than subsection (2)) and paragraphs 110(1)(d) to (d.1),
any particular rights of the employee under the arrangement in respect of those securities are deemed to be rights under a particular agreement with the particular person under which the particular person has agreed to sell or issue securities to the employee,
any securities acquired under the arrangement by the employee or by a person in whom the particular rights have become vested are deemed to be securities acquired under the particular agreement, and
any amounts paid or agreed to be paid to the trustee for any securities acquired under the arrangement by the employee or by a person in whom the particular rights have become vested are deemed to be amounts paid or agreed to be paid to the particular person for securities acquired under the particular agreement; and
subsection (2) does not apply in respect of securities held by the trustee under the arrangement.
The following definitions apply in this section and in subsection 47(3), paragraphs 53(1)(j) and 110(1)(d) and (d.01) and subsections 110(1.1), (1.2), (1.5) to (1.8) and (2.1).

security of a qualifying person means
if the person is a corporation, a share of the capital stock of the corporation; and
if the person is a mutual fund trust, a unit of the trust. (titre)

the lesser of $1,000 and 20% of the total of all amounts each of which is the taxpayer’s income from an office or employment for the year, before deducting any amount under this section, that was income from an artistic activity described in any of subparagraphs 8(1)(q)(i) to 8(1)(q)(iv),
exceeds

Except as permitted by this section, no deductions shall be made in computing a taxpayer’s income for a taxation year from an office or employment.
An amount expended in respect of a meal consumed by a taxpayer who is an officer or employee shall not be included in computing the amount of a deduction under paragraph 8(1)(f) or 8(1)(h) unless the meal was consumed during a period while the taxpayer was required by the taxpayer’s duties to be away, for a period of not less than twelve hours, from the municipality where the employer’s establishment to which the taxpayer ordinarily reported for work was located and away from the metropolitan area, if there is one, where it was located.
Notwithstanding subparagraphs 8(1)(i)(i), 8(1)(i)(iv), 8(1)(i)(vi) and 8(1)(i)(vii), dues are not deductible under those subparagraphs in computing a taxpayer’s income from an office or employment to the extent that they are, in effect, levied
for or under a superannuation fund or plan;
for or under a fund or plan for annuities, insurance (other than professional or malpractice liability insurance that is necessary to maintain a professional status recognized by statute) or similar benefits; or
for any other purpose not directly related to the ordinary operating expenses of the committee or similar body, association, board or trade union, as the case may be.
For the purpose of paragraph (1)(r),
a taxpayer is an eligible apprentice mechanic in a taxation year if, at any time in the taxation year, the taxpayer
is registered in a program established in accordance with the laws of Canada or of a province that leads to designation under those laws as a mechanic licensed to repair self-propelled motorized vehicles, and
is employed as an apprentice mechanic;
an eligible tool is a tool (including ancillary equipment) that
is acquired by a taxpayer for use in connection with the taxpayer’s employment as an eligible apprentice mechanic,
has not been used for any purpose before it is acquired by the taxpayer,
is certified in prescribed form by the taxpayer’s employer to be required to be provided by the taxpayer as a condition of, and for use in, the taxpayer’s employment as an eligible apprentice mechanic, and
is, unless the device or equipment can be used only for the purpose of measuring, locating or calculating, not an electronic communication device or electronic data processing equipment; and
a taxpayer who, for a taxation year, is not an eligible apprentice mechanic and has an excess amount determined under the description of C in subparagraph (1)(r)(ii) is, for the taxation year, entitled to claim a deduction under that paragraph as if that excess amount were wholly applicable to an employment of the taxpayer.
For the purposes of paragraph (1)(s), an eligible tool of a taxpayer is a tool (including ancillary equipment) that
is acquired by the taxpayer on or after May 2, 2006 for use in connection with the taxpayer’s employment as a tradesperson;

Except for the purposes of the description of A in subparagraph (1)(r)(ii) and the description of A in paragraph (1)(s), the cost to a taxpayer of an eligible tool the cost of which was included in determining the value of one or both of those descriptions in respect of the taxpayer for a taxation year is the amount determined by the formula K - (K × L/M) where K is the cost to the taxpayer of the tool determined without reference to this subsection; L is if the tool is a tool to which only paragraph (1)(r) applies in the taxation year, the amount that would be determined under subparagraph (1)(r)(ii) in respect of the taxpayer for the taxation year if the value of C in that subparagraph were nil, if the tool is a tool to which only paragraph (1)(s) applies in the taxation year, the amount determined under that paragraph to be deductible by the taxpayer in the taxation year, or if the tool is a tool to which both paragraphs (1)(r) and (s) apply in the taxation year, the amount that is the total of the amount that would be determined under subparagraph (1)(r)(ii) in respect of the taxpayer for the taxation year if the value of C in that subparagraph were nil, and the amount determined under paragraph (1)(s) to be deductible by the taxpayer in the taxation year; and M is the amount that is if the tool is a tool to which only paragraph (1)(r) applies in the taxation year, the value of A determined under subparagraph (1)(r)(ii) in respect of the taxpayer for the taxation year, if the tool is a tool to which only paragraph (1)(s) applies in the taxation year, the amount determined under subparagraph (i) of the description of A in paragraph (1)(s) in respect of the taxpayer for the taxation year, and if the tool is a tool to which both paragraphs (1)(r) and (s) apply in the taxation year, the amount that is the greater of the value of A determined under subparagraph (1)(r)(ii) in respect of the taxpayer for the taxation year and the amount determined under subparagraph (i) of the description of A in paragraph (1)(s) in respect of the taxpayer for the taxation year.
Notwithstanding any other provision of this Act, the total of all amounts that would otherwise be deductible by a taxpayer pursuant to paragraph 8(1)(f), 8(1)(h) or 8(1)(j) for travelling in the course of the taxpayer’s employment in an aircraft that is owned or rented by the taxpayer, may not exceed an amount that is reasonable in the circumstances having regard to the relative cost and availability of other modes of transportation.
An amount otherwise deductible for a taxation year under paragraph (1)(c), (f), (h) or (h.1) or subparagraph (1)(i)(ii) or (iii) by a taxpayer shall not be deducted unless a prescribed form, signed by the taxpayer’s employer certifying that the conditions set out in the applicable provision were met in the year in respect of the taxpayer, is filed with the taxpayer’s return of income for the year.
For the purposes of this section and section 6, the amount of any rebate paid or payable to a taxpayer under the Excise Tax Act in respect of the goods and services tax shall be deemed not to be an amount that is reimbursed to the taxpayer or to which the taxpayer is entitled.
If, in a taxation year,
an employee is deemed by subsection 7(2) to have disposed of a security (as defined in subsection 7(7)) held by a trust,
the trust disposed of the security to the person that issued the security,
the disposition occurred as a result of the employee not meeting the conditions necessary for title to the security to vest in the employee, and
the amount paid by the person to acquire the security from the trust or to redeem or cancel the security did not exceed the amount paid to the person for the security,
the following rules apply:
there may be deducted in computing the employee’s income for the year from employment the amount, if any, by which
the amount of the benefit deemed by subsection 7(1) to have been received by the employee in the year or a preceding taxation year in respect of the security
exceeds
any amount deducted under paragraph 110(1)(d) or (d.1) in computing the employee’s taxable income for the year or a preceding taxation year in respect of that benefit, and
notwithstanding any other provision of this Act, the employee’s gain or loss from the disposition of the security is deemed to be nil and section 84 does not apply to deem a dividend to have been received in respect of the disposition.
Notwithstanding paragraphs 8(1)(f) and 8(1)(i),
no amount is deductible in computing an individual’s income for a taxation year from an office or employment in respect of any part (in this subsection referred to as the “work space”) of a self-contained domestic establishment in which the individual resides, except to the extent that the work space is either
the place where the individual principally performs the duties of the office or employment, or
used exclusively during the period in respect of which the amount relates for the purpose of earning income from the office or employment and used on a regular and continuous basis for meeting customers or other persons in the ordinary course of performing the duties of the office or employment;
where the conditions set out in subparagraph 8(13)(a)(i) or 8(13)(a)(ii) are met, the amount in respect of the work space that is deductible in computing the individual’s income for the year from the office or employment shall not exceed the individual’s income for the year from the office or employment, computed without reference to any deduction in respect of the work space; and
any amount in respect of a work space that was, solely because of paragraph 8(13)(b), not deductible in computing the individual’s income for the immediately preceding taxation year from the office or employment shall be deemed to be an amount in respect of a work space that is otherwise deductible in computing the individual’s income for the year from that office or employment and that, subject to paragraph 8(13)(b), may be deducted in computing the individual’s income for the year from the office or employment.
Subject to this Part, a taxpayer’s income for a taxation year from a business or property is the taxpayer’s profit from that business or property for the year.
Subject to section 31, a taxpayer’s loss for a taxation year from a business or property is the amount of the taxpayer’s loss, if any, for the taxation year from that source computed by applying the provisions of this Act respecting computation of income from that source with such modifications as the circumstances require.
In this Act, “income from a property” does not include any capital gain from the disposition of that property and “loss from a property” does not include any capital loss from the disposition of that property.
For the purpose of computing a taxpayer’s income for a taxation year from a business that is not an adventure or concern in the nature of trade, property described in an inventory shall be valued at the end of the year at the cost at which the taxpayer acquired the property or its fair market value at the end of the year, whichever is lower, or in a prescribed manner.
For the purpose of computing a taxpayer’s income from a business that is an adventure or concern in the nature of trade, property described in an inventory shall be valued at the cost at which the taxpayer acquired the property.
For the purposes of subsections 10(1), 10(1.01) and 10(10), where land is described in an inventory of a business of a taxpayer, the cost at which the taxpayer acquired the land shall include each amount that is
described in paragraph 18(2)(a) or (b) in respect of the land and for which no deduction is permitted to the taxpayer, or to another person or partnership that is
a person or partnership with whom the taxpayer does not deal at arm’s length,
if the taxpayer is a corporation, a person or partnership that is a specified shareholder of the taxpayer, or
if the taxpayer is a partnership, a person or partnership whose share of any income or loss of the taxpayer is 10% or more; and
not included in or added to the cost to that other person or partnership of any property otherwise than because of paragraph 53(1)(d.3) or subparagraph 53(1)(e)(xi).
Notwithstanding subsection 10(1), for the purpose of computing income for a taxation year from a business, the inventory at the commencement of the year shall be valued at the same amount as the amount at which it was valued at the end of the preceding taxation year for the purpose of computing income for that preceding year.
Where property described in an inventory of a taxpayer’s business that is not an adventure or concern in the nature of trade is valued at the end of a taxation year in accordance with a method permitted under this section, that method shall, subject to subsection 10(6), be used in the valuation of property described in the inventory at the end of the following taxation year for the purpose of computing the taxpayer’s income from the business unless the taxpayer, with the concurrence of the Minister and on any terms and conditions that are specified by the Minister, adopts another method permitted under this section.
Where the inventory of a business at the commencement of a taxation year has, according to the method adopted by the taxpayer for computing income from the business for that year, not been valued as required by subsection 10(1), the inventory at the commencement of that year shall, if the Minister so directs, be deemed to have been valued as required by that subsection.
For the purpose of subsection 10(1), the fair market value of property (other than property that is obsolete, damaged or defective or that is held for sale or lease or for the purpose of being processed, fabricated, manufactured, incorporated into, attached to, or otherwise converted into property for sale or lease) that is
work in progress at the end of a taxation year of a business that is a profession means the amount that can reasonably be expected to become receivable in respect thereof after the end of the year; and
advertising or packaging material, parts, supplies or other property (other than work in progress of a business that is a profession) that is included in inventory means the replacement cost of the property.
Without restricting the generality of this section,
property (other than capital property) of a taxpayer that is advertising or packaging material, parts or supplies or work in progress of a business that is a profession is, for greater certainty, inventory of the taxpayer;
anything used primarily for the purpose of advertising or packaging property that is included in the inventory of a taxpayer shall be deemed not to be property held for sale or lease or for any of the purposes referred to in subsection 10(4); and
property of a taxpayer, the cost of which to the taxpayer was deductible by virtue of paragraph 20(1)(mm), is, for greater certainty, inventory of the taxpayer having a cost to the taxpayer, except for the purposes of that paragraph, of nil.
Notwithstanding subsection 10(1), for the purpose of computing the income of an individual other than a trust for a taxation year from a business that is the individual’s artistic endeavour, the value of the inventory of the business for that year shall, if the individual so elects in the individual’s return of income under this Part for the year, be deemed to be nil.
Where an individual has made an election pursuant to subsection 10(6) for a taxation year, the value of the inventory of a business that is the individual’s artistic endeavour shall, for each subsequent taxation year, be deemed to be nil unless the individual, with the concurrence of the Minister and on such terms and conditions as are specified by the Minister, revokes the election.
For the purpose of this section, business that is an individual’s artistic endeavour means the business of creating paintings, prints, etchings, drawings, sculptures or similar works of art, where such works of art are created by the individual, but does not include a business of reproducing works of art.
Where, at the end of a taxpayer’s last taxation year at the end of which property described in an inventory of a business that is an adventure or concern in the nature of trade was valued under subsection 10(1), the property was valued at an amount that is less than the cost at which the taxpayer acquired the property, after that time the cost to the taxpayer at which the property was acquired is, subject to subsection 10(10), deemed to be that amount.
Notwithstanding subsection (1.01), property described in an inventory of a taxpayer’s business that is an adventure or concern in the nature of trade at the end of the taxpayer’s taxation year that ends immediately before the time at which the taxpayer is subject to a loss restriction event is to be valued at the cost at which the taxpayer acquired the property, or its fair market value at the end of the year, whichever is lower, and after that time the cost at which the taxpayer acquired the property is, subject to a subsequent application of this subsection, deemed to be that lower amount.
For the purposes of subsections 88(1.1) and 111(5), a taxpayer’s business that is at any time an adventure or concern in the nature of trade is deemed to be a business carried on at that time by the taxpayer.
If at any time a non-resident taxpayer ceases to use, in connection with a business or part of a business carried on by the taxpayer in Canada immediately before that time, a property that was immediately before that time described in the inventory of the business or the part of the business, as the case may be, (other than a property that was disposed of by the taxpayer at that time), the taxpayer is deemed
to have disposed of the property immediately before that time for proceeds of disposition equal to its fair market value at that time; and
to have received those proceeds immediately before that time in the course of carrying on the business or the part of the business, as the case may be.
If at any time a property becomes included in the inventory of a business or part of a business that a non-resident taxpayer carries on in Canada after that time (other than a property that was, otherwise than because of this subsection, acquired by the taxpayer at that time), the taxpayer is deemed to have acquired the property at that time at a cost equal to its fair market value at that time.
For the purposes of subsections (12) and (13), property that is included in the inventory of a business includes property that would be so included if paragraph 34(a) did not apply.
Subject to section 34.1, if an individual is a proprietor of a business, the individual’s income from the business for a taxation year is deemed to be the individual’s income from the business for the fiscal periods of the business that end in the year.
Where an individual’s income for a taxation year includes income from a business the fiscal period of which does not coincide with the calendar year, unless the context otherwise requires, a reference in this Subdivision or section 80.3 to a “taxation year” or “year” shall, in respect of the business, be read as a reference to a fiscal period of the business ending in the year.
There shall be included in computing the income of a taxpayer for a taxation year as income from a business or property such of the following amounts as are applicable
any amount received by the taxpayer in the year in the course of a business
that is on account of services not rendered or goods not delivered before the end of the year or that, for any other reason, may be regarded as not having been earned in the year or a previous year, or
under an arrangement or understanding that it is repayable in whole or in part on the return or resale to the taxpayer of articles in or by means of which goods were delivered to a customer;
any amount receivable by the taxpayer in respect of property sold or services rendered in the course of a business in the year, notwithstanding that the amount or any part thereof is not due until a subsequent year, unless the method adopted by the taxpayer for computing income from the business and accepted for the purpose of this Part does not require the taxpayer to include any amount receivable in computing the taxpayer’s income for a taxation year unless it has been received in the year, and for the purposes of this paragraph, an amount shall be deemed to have become receivable in respect of services rendered in the course of a business on the day that is the earlier of
the day on which the account in respect of the services was rendered, and
the day on which the account in respect of those services would have been rendered had there been no undue delay in rendering the account in respect of the services;
subject to subsections (3) and (4.1), any amount received or receivable by the taxpayer in the year (depending on the method regularly followed by the taxpayer in computing the taxpayer’s income) as, on account of, in lieu of payment of or in satisfaction of, interest to the extent that the interest was not included in computing the taxpayer’s income for a preceding taxation year;

Paragraphs 12(1)(a) and 12(1)(b) are enacted for greater certainty and shall not be construed as implying that any amount not referred to in those paragraphs is not to be included in computing income from a business for a taxation year whether it is received or receivable in the year or not.
Paragraph (1)(g) does not defer the inclusion in income of any amount that would, if this section were read without reference to that paragraph, be included in computing the taxpayer’s income in accordance with section 9.
For the purposes of this Act, if an amount is included in computing the income of a taxpayer for a taxation year because of paragraph (1)(l.1) and the amount is in respect of interest that is deductible by a partnership in computing its income from a particular source or from sources in a particular place, the amount is deemed to be from the particular source or from sources in the particular place, as the case may be.
For the purposes of paragraph 12(1)(x), where at a particular time a taxpayer who is a beneficiary of a trust or a member of a partnership has received an amount as an inducement, whether as a grant, subsidy, forgivable loan, deduction from tax, allowance or any other form of inducement, in respect of the activities of the trust or partnership, or as a reimbursement, contribution, allowance or as assistance, whether as a grant, subsidy, forgivable loan, deduction from tax, allowance or any other form of assistance, in respect of the cost of property or in respect of an expense of the trust or partnership, the amount shall be deemed to have been received at that time by the trust or partnership, as the case may be, as such an inducement, reimbursement, contribution, allowance or assistance.

Paragraph 12(1)(c) and subsections 12(3) and 12(4) do not apply to a taxpayer in respect of a debt obligation for the part of a taxation year throughout which the obligation is impaired where an amount in respect of the obligation is deductible because of subparagraph 20(1)(l)(ii) in computing the taxpayer’s income for the year.
For the purposes of subsections (3), (4) and (11) and 20(14) and (21), if a taxpayer acquires an interest in, or for civil law a right in, a prescribed debt obligation, an amount determined in prescribed manner is deemed to accrue to the taxpayer as interest on the obligation in each taxation year during which the taxpayer holds the interest or the right in the obligation.
If a taxpayer disposes of an interest in, or for civil law a right in, a debt obligation that is a debt obligation in respect of which the proportion of the payments of principal to which the taxpayer is entitled is not equal to the proportion of the payments of interest to which the taxpayer is entitled, the portion of the proceeds of disposition received by the taxpayer that can reasonably be considered to represent a recovery of the cost to the taxpayer of the interest or the right in the debt obligation shall, notwithstanding any other provision of this Act, not be included in computing the taxpayer’s income, and for the purpose of this subsection, a debt obligation includes, for greater certainty, all of the issuer’s obligations to pay principal and interest under that obligation.

There shall be included in computing a taxpayer’s income for a taxation year from a property the total of all amounts each of which is the amount determined by the formula A - B where A is an amount paid at a particular time in the year out of the taxpayer’s NISA Fund No. 2; and B is the amount, if any, by which the total of all amounts each of which is deemed by subsection (10.4) or 104(5.1) or (14.1) to have been paid out of the taxpayer’s NISA Fund No. 2 before the particular time, or deemed by subsection 70(5.4) or 73(5) to have been paid out of another person’s NISA Fund No. 2 on being transferred to the taxpayer’s NISA Fund No. 2 before the particular time, exceeds the total of all amounts each of which is the amount by which an amount otherwise determined under this subsection in respect of a payment out of the taxpayer’s NISA Fund No. 2 before the particular time was reduced because of this description.
Notwithstanding any other provision of this Act, an amount credited or added to a taxpayer’s NISA Fund No. 2 shall not be included in computing the taxpayer’s income solely because of that crediting or adding.

base year of an insurer means the insurer’s taxation year that immediately precedes its transition year. (année de base)
insurance business of an insurer, is an insurance business carried on by the insurer, other than a life insurance business. (entreprise d’assurance)
reserve transition amount of an insurer, in respect of an insurance business carried on by it in Canada in its transition year, is the positive or negative amount determined by the formula A – B where A is the maximum amount that the insurer would be permitted to claim under paragraph 20(7)(c) (and that would be prescribed by section 1400 of the Regulations for the purpose of paragraph 20(7)(c)) as a policy reserve for its base year in respect of its insurance policies if the generally accepted accounting principles that applied to the insurer in valuing its assets and liabilities for its transition year had applied to it for its base year, and section 1400 of the Regulations were read in respect of the insurer’s base year as it reads in respect of its transition year; and B is the maximum amount that the insurer is permitted to claim under paragraph 20(7)(c) as a policy reserve for its base year. (montant transitoire)
transition year of an insurer means the insurer’s first taxation year that begins after September 2006. (année transitoire)

If an amount has been deducted under subsection 20.4(2) in computing an insurer’s income for its transition year from an insurance business carried on by it in Canada, there shall be included in computing the insurer’s income, for each particular taxation year of the insurer that ends after the beginning of the transition year, from that insurance business, the amount determined by the formula A × B/1825 where A is the amount deducted under subsection 20.4(2) in computing the insurer’s income for the transition year from that insurance business; and B is the number of days in the particular taxation year that are before the day that is 1825 days after the first day of the transition year.
If an insurer has, in a winding-up to which subsection 88(1) has applied, been wound-up into another corporation (referred to in this subsection as the “parent”), and immediately after the winding-up the parent carries on an insurance business, in applying subsections (3) and 20.4(3) in computing the incomes of the insurer and of the parent for particular taxation years that end on or after the first day (referred to in this subsection as the “start day”) on which assets of the insurer were distributed to the parent on the winding-up,
the parent is, on and after the start day, deemed to be the same corporation as and a continuation of the insurer in respect of
any amount included under subsection (2) or deducted under subsection 20.4(2) in computing the insurer’s income from an insurance business for its transition year,
any amount included under subsection (3) or deducted under subsection 20.4(3) in computing the insurer’s income from an insurance business for a taxation year of the insurer that begins before the start day, and
any amount that would — in the absence of this subsection and if the insurer existed and carried on an insurance business on each day that is the start day or a subsequent day and on which the parent carries on an insurance business — be required to be included or deducted, in respect of any of those days, under subsection (3) or 20.4(3) in computing the insurer’s income from an insurance business; and
the insurer is, in respect of each of its particular taxation years, to determine the value for B in the formulas in subsections (3) and 20.4(3) without reference to the start day and days after the start day.

any amount included under subsection (2) or deducted under subsection 20.4(2) in computing the insurer’s income from an insurance business for its transition year;
any amount included under subsection (3) or deducted under subsection 20.4(3) in computing the insurer’s income from an insurance business for a taxation year of the insurer that begins before the day on which the amalgamation occurred; and
any amount that would — in the absence of this subsection and if the insurer existed and carried on an insurance business on each day that is the day on which the amalgamation occurred or a subsequent day and on which the new corporation carries on an insurance business — be required to be included or deducted, in respect of any of those days, under subsection (3) or 20.4(3) in computing the insurer’s income from an insurance business.
Subsection (7) applies if, at any time, an insurer (referred to in this subsection and subsection (7) as the “transferor”) transfers, to a corporation (referred to in this subsection and subsection (7) as the “transferee”) that is related to the transferor, property in respect of an insurance business carried on by the transferor in Canada (referred to in this subsection and subsection (7) as the “transferred business”) and
subsection 138(11.5) or (11.94) applies to the transfer; or
subsection 85(1) applies to the transfer, the transfer includes all or substantially all of the property and liabilities of the transferred business and, immediately after the transfer, the transferee carries on an insurance business.
If this subsection applies in respect of the transfer, at any time, of property
the transferee is, at and after that time, deemed to be the same corporation as and a continuation of the transferor in respect of
any amount included under subsection (2) or deducted under subsection 20.4(2) in computing the transferor’s income for its transition year that can reasonably be attributed to the transferred business,
any amount included under subsection (3) or deducted under subsection 20.4(3) in computing the transferor’s income for a taxation year of the transferor that begins before that time that can reasonably be attributed to the transferred business,
any amount that would — in the absence of this subsection and if the transferor existed and carried on an insurance business on each day that includes that time or is a subsequent day and on which the transferee carries on an insurance business — be required to be included or deducted, in respect of any of those days, under subsection (3) or 20.4(3) in computing the transferor’s income that can reasonably be attributed to the transferred business; and
in determining, in respect of the day that includes that time or any subsequent day, any amount that is required under subsection (3) or 20.4(3) to be included or deducted in computing the transferor’s income for each particular taxation year from the transferred business, the description of A in the formulas in those subsections is deemed to be nil.
If at any time an insurer ceases to carry on all or substantially all of an insurance business (referred to in this subsection as the “discontinued business”), and none of subsections (4) to (6) apply, there shall be included in computing the insurer’s income from the discontinued business for the insurer’s taxation year that includes the time that is immediately before that time, the amount determined by the formula A – B where A is the amount deducted under subsection 20.4(2) in computing the insurer’s income from the discontinued business for its transition year; and B is the total of all amounts each of which is an amount included under subsection (3) in computing the insurer’s income from the discontinued business for a taxation year that began before that time.
If at any time an insurer that carried on an insurance business ceases to exist (otherwise than as a result of a winding-up or amalgamation described in subsection (4) or (5)), for the purposes of subsections (8) and 20.4(4), the insurer is deemed to have ceased to carry on the insurance business at the earlier of
the time (determined without reference to this subsection) at which the insurer ceased to carry on the insurance business, and
the time that is immediately before the end of the last taxation year of the insurer that ended at or before the time at which the insurer ceased to exist.
The definitions in section 18.3 apply in this section.
Subsection (3) applies for a taxation year of an entity in respect of a security of the entity if
the security becomes, at a particular time in the year, a stapled security of the entity and, as a consequence, amounts described in paragraphs 18.3(3)(a) and (b) are not deductible because of subsection 18.3(3);
the security (or any security for which the security was substituted) ceased, at an earlier time, to be a stapled security of any entity and, as a consequence, subsection 18.3(3) ceased to apply to deny the deductibility of amounts that would be described in paragraphs 18.3(3)(a) and (b) if the security were a stapled security; and
throughout the period that began immediately after the most recent time referred to in paragraph (b) and that ends at the particular time, the security (or any security for which the security was substituted) was not a stapled security of any entity.
If this subsection applies for a taxation year of an entity in respect of a security of the entity, the entity shall include in computing its income for the year each amount that
was deducted by the entity (or by another entity that issued a security for which the security was substituted) in computing its income for a taxation year that includes any part of the period described in paragraph (2)(c); and
would not have been deductible if subsection 18.3(3) had applied in respect of the amount.
For the purposes of subsection 161(1), if an amount described in paragraph (3)(a) is included in the income of an entity for a taxation year under subsection (3), the entity is deemed to have an excess immediately after the entity’s balance-due day for the year computed as if
the entity were resident in Canada throughout the year;
the entity’s tax payable for the year were equal to the tax payable by the entity on its taxable income for the year;
the amount were the entity’s only taxable income for the year;
the entity claimed no deductions under Division E for the year;
the entity had not paid any amounts on account of its tax payable for the year; and
the tax payable determined under paragraph (b) had been outstanding throughout the period that begins immediately after the end of the taxation year for which the amount was deducted and that ends on the entity’s balance-due day for the year.
If, at the end of a taxation year, the total of the amounts determined for E to K in the definition undepreciated capital cost in subsection (21) in respect of a taxpayer’s depreciable property of a particular prescribed class exceeds the total of the amounts determined for A to D.1 in that definition in respect of that property, the excess shall be included in computing the taxpayer’s income of the year.
Notwithstanding subsection 13(1), where an excess amount is determined under that subsection at the end of a taxation year in respect of a passenger vehicle having a cost to a taxpayer in excess of $20,000 or such other amount as may be prescribed, that excess amount shall not be included in computing the taxpayer’s income for the year but shall be deemed, for the purposes of B in the definition undepreciated capital cost in subsection 13(21), to be an amount included in the taxpayer’s income for the year by reason of this section.
Where a taxpayer is an individual whose income for a taxation year includes income from a business the fiscal period of which does not coincide with the calendar year and depreciable property acquired for the purpose of gaining or producing income from the business has been disposed of,
for greater certainty, each reference in subsections 13(1) and 13(2) to a “taxation year” and “year” shall be read as a reference to a “fiscal period”; and
a reference in subsection 13(1) to “the income” shall be read as a reference to “the income from the business”.
Where an amount in respect of the disposition in a taxation year (in this subsection referred to as the “initial year”) of depreciable property (in this section referred to as the “former property”) of a prescribed class of a taxpayer would, but for this subsection, be the amount determined for F or G in the definition undepreciated capital cost in subsection 13(21) in respect of the disposition of the former property that is either
property the proceeds of disposition of which were proceeds referred to in paragraph (b), (c) or (d) of the definition proceeds of disposition in subsection 13(21), or
a property that was, immediately before the disposition, a former business property of the taxpayer,
the amount otherwise determined for F or G in the definition undepreciated capital cost in subsection 13(21) in respect of the disposition of the former property shall be reduced by the lesser of
the amount, if any, by which the amount otherwise determined for F or G in that definition exceeds the undepreciated capital cost to the taxpayer of property of the prescribed class to which the former property belonged at the time immediately before the time that the former property was disposed of, and
the amount that has been used by the taxpayer to acquire a replacement property of a prescribed class that has not been disposed of by the taxpayer before the time at which the taxpayer disposed of the former property, and
if the former property is described in paragraph (a), before the later of the end of the second taxation year following the initial year and 24 months after the end of the initial year, or
in any other case, before the later of the end of the first taxation year following the initial year and 12 months after the end of the initial year,
the amount of the reduction determined under paragraph 13(4)(c) shall be deemed to be proceeds of disposition of a depreciable property of the taxpayer that had a capital cost equal to that amount and that was property of the same class as the replacement property, from a disposition made on the later of
the time the replacement property was acquired by the taxpayer, and
the time the former property was disposed of by the taxpayer.
For the purposes of subsection 13(4), a particular depreciable property of a prescribed class of a taxpayer is a replacement for a former property of the taxpayer if
it is reasonable to conclude that the property was acquired by the taxpayer to replace the former property;
it was acquired by the taxpayer and used by the taxpayer or a person related to the taxpayer for a use that is the same as or similar to the use to which the taxpayer or a person related to the taxpayer put the former property;
where the former property was used by the taxpayer or a person related to the taxpayer for the purpose of gaining or producing income from a business, the particular depreciable property was acquired for the purpose of gaining or producing income from that or a similar business or for use by a person related to the taxpayer for such a purpose;
where the former property was a taxable Canadian property of the taxpayer, the particular depreciable property is a taxable Canadian property of the taxpayer; and
where the former property was a taxable Canadian property (other than treaty-protected property) of the taxpayer, the particular depreciable property is a taxable Canadian property (other than treaty-protected property) of the taxpayer.
Subsection (4.3) applies if
a taxpayer (in this subsection and subsection (4.3) referred to as the “transferor”) has, pursuant to a written agreement with a person or partnership (in this subsection and subsection (4.3) referred to as the “transferee”), at any time disposed of or terminated a former property that is a franchise, concession or licence for a limited period that is wholly attributable to the carrying on of a business at a fixed place;
the transferee acquired the former property from the transferor or, on the termination, acquired a similar property in respect of the same fixed place from another person or partnership; and
the transferor and the transferee jointly elect in their returns of income for their taxation years that include that time to have subsection (4.3) apply in respect of the acquisition and the disposition or termination.
If this subsection applies in respect of an acquisition and a disposition or termination,
if the transferee acquired a similar property referred to in paragraph (4.2)(b), the transferee is deemed to have also acquired the former property at the time that the former property was terminated and to own the former property until the transferee no longer owns the similar property;
if the transferee acquired the former property referred to in paragraph (4.2)(b), the transferee is deemed to own the former property until such time as the transferee owns neither the former property nor a similar property in respect of the same fixed place to which the former property related;
for the purpose of calculating the amount deductible under paragraph 20(1)(a) in respect of the former property in computing the transferee’s income, the life of the former property remaining on its acquisition by the transferee is deemed to be equal to the period that was the life of the former property remaining on its acquisition by the transferor; and
any amount that would, if this Act were read without reference to this subsection, be an eligible capital amount to the transferor or an eligible capital expenditure to the transferee in respect of the disposition or termination of the former property by the transferor is deemed to be
neither an eligible capital amount nor an eligible capital expenditure,
an amount required to be included in computing the capital cost to the transferee of the former property, and
an amount required to be included in computing the proceeds of disposition to the transferor in respect of a disposition of the former property.
Where one or more depreciable properties of a taxpayer that were included in a prescribed class (in this subsection referred to as the “old class”) become included at any time (in this subsection referred to as the “transfer time”) in another prescribed class (in this subsection referred to as the “new class”), for the purpose of determining at any subsequent time the undepreciated capital cost to the taxpayer of depreciable property of the old class and the new class
the value of A in the definition undepreciated capital cost in subsection 13(21) shall be determined as if each of those depreciable properties were
properties of the new class acquired before the subsequent time, and
never included in the old class; and
there shall be deducted in computing the total depreciation allowed to the taxpayer for property of the old class before the subsequent time, and added in computing the total depreciation allowed to the taxpayer for property of the new class before the subsequent time, the greater of
the amount determined by the formula A - B where A is the total of all amounts each of which is the capital cost to the taxpayer of each of those depreciable properties, and B is the undepreciated capital cost to the taxpayer of depreciable property of the old class at the transfer time, and
the total of all amounts each of which is an amount that would have been deducted under paragraph 20(1)(a) in respect of a depreciable property that is one of those properties in computing the taxpayer’s income for a taxation year that ended before the transfer time and at the end of which the property was included in the old class if
the property had been the only property included in a separate prescribed class, and
the rate allowed by the regulations made for the purpose of paragraph 20(1)(a) in respect of that separate class had been the effective rate that was used by the taxpayer to calculate a deduction under that paragraph in respect of the old class for the year.
Where at any time in a taxation year a taxpayer acquires a particular property in respect of which, immediately before that time, the taxpayer had a leasehold interest that was included in a prescribed class, for the purposes of this section, section 20 and any regulations made under paragraph 20(1)(a), the following rules apply:
the leasehold interest shall be deemed to have been disposed of by the taxpayer at that time for proceeds of disposition equal to the amount, if any, by which
the capital cost immediately before that time of the leasehold interest
the total of all amounts claimed by the taxpayer in respect of the leasehold interest and deductible under paragraph 20(1)(a) in computing the taxpayer’s income in previous taxation years;
the particular property shall be deemed to be depreciable property of a prescribed class of the taxpayer acquired by the taxpayer at that time and there shall be added to the capital cost to the taxpayer of the property an amount equal to the capital cost referred to in subparagraph 13(5.1)(a)(i); and
the total referred to in subparagraph 13(5.1)(a)(ii) shall be added to the total depreciation allowed to the taxpayer before that time in respect of the class to which the particular property belongs.
If, at any time, a taxpayer has acquired a capital property that is depreciable property or real or immovable property in respect of which, before that time, the taxpayer or any person with whom the taxpayer was not dealing at arm’s length was entitled to a deduction in computing income in respect of any amount paid or payable for the use of, or the right to use, the property and the cost or the capital cost (determined without reference to this subsection) at that time of the property to the taxpayer is less than the fair market value thereof at that time determined without reference to any option with respect to that property, for the purposes of this section, section 20 and any regulations made under paragraph 20(1)(a), the following rules apply:
the property shall be deemed to have been acquired by the taxpayer at that time at a cost equal to the lesser of
the fair market value of the property at that time determined without reference to any option with respect to that property, and
the total of the cost or the capital cost (determined without reference to this subsection) of the property to the taxpayer and all amounts (other than amounts paid or payable to a person with whom the taxpayer was not dealing at arm’s length) each of which is an outlay or expense made or incurred by the taxpayer or by a person with whom the taxpayer was not dealing at arm’s length at any time for the use of, or the right to use, the property,
the amount by which the cost to the taxpayer of the property determined under paragraph 13(5.2)(a) exceeds the cost or the capital cost thereof (determined without reference to this subsection) shall be added to the total depreciation allowed to the taxpayer before that time in respect of the prescribed class to which the property belongs; and
where the property would, but for this paragraph, not be depreciable property of the taxpayer, it shall be deemed to be depreciable property of a separate prescribed class of the taxpayer.
If, at any time in a taxation year, a taxpayer has disposed of a capital property that is an option with respect to depreciable property or real or immovable property in respect of which the taxpayer or any person with whom the taxpayer was not dealing at arm’s length was entitled to a deduction in computing income in respect of any amount paid for the use of, or the right to use, the property, for the purposes of this section, the amount, if any, by which the proceeds of disposition to the taxpayer of the option exceed the taxpayer’s cost in respect thereof is deemed to be an excess referred to in subsection (1) in respect of the taxpayer for the year.
Where, before the time of disposition of a capital property that was depreciable property of a taxpayer, the taxpayer, or any person with whom the taxpayer was not dealing at arm’s length, was entitled to a deduction in computing income in respect of any outlay or expense made or incurred for the use of, or the right to use, during a period of time, that capital property (other than an outlay or expense made or incurred by the taxpayer or a person with whom the taxpayer was not dealing at arm’s length before the acquisition of the property), except where the taxpayer disposed of the property to a person with whom the taxpayer was not dealing at arm’s length and that person was subject to the provisions of subsection 13(5.2) with respect to the acquisition by that person of the property, the following rules apply:
an amount equal to the lesser of
the total of all amounts (other than amounts paid or payable to the taxpayer or a person with whom the taxpayer was not dealing at arm’s length) each of which was a deductible outlay or expense made or incurred before the time of disposition by the taxpayer, or by a person with whom the taxpayer was not dealing at arm’s length, for the use of, or the right to use, during the period of time, the property, and
the amount, if any, by which the fair market value of the property at the earlier of exceeds the capital cost to the taxpayer of the property immediately before that time
the expiration of the last period of time in respect of which the deductible outlay or expense referred to in subparagraph 13(5.4)(a)(i) was made or incurred, and
the time of the disposition
the amount added to the capital cost to the taxpayer of the property pursuant to paragraph 13(5.4)(a) shall be added immediately before the time of the disposition to the total depreciation allowed to the taxpayer before that time in respect of the prescribed class to which the property belongs.
For the purposes of subsection 13(5.4), an amount deductible by a taxpayer under paragraph 20(1)(z) or 20(1)(z.1) in respect of a cancellation of a lease of property shall, for greater certainty, be deemed not to be an outlay or expense that was made or incurred by the taxpayer for the use of, or the right to use, the property.
Where, in calculating the amount of a deduction allowed to a taxpayer under subsection 20(16) or regulations made for the purposes of paragraph 20(1)(a) in respect of depreciable property of the taxpayer of a prescribed class (in this subsection referred to as the “particular class”), there has been added to the capital cost to the taxpayer of depreciable property of the particular class the capital cost of depreciable property (in this subsection referred to as “added property”) of another prescribed class, for the purposes of this section, section 20 and any regulations made for the purposes of paragraph 20(1)(a), the added property shall, if the Minister so directs with respect to any taxation year for which, under subsection 152(4), the Minister may make any reassessment or additional assessment or assess tax, interest or penalties under this Part, be deemed to have been property of the particular class and not of the other class at all times before the beginning of the year and, except to the extent that the added property or any part thereof has been disposed of by the taxpayer before the beginning of the year, to have been transferred from the particular class to the other class at the beginning of the year.
Subject to subsection 70(13), for the purposes of paragraphs 8(1)(j) and 8(1)(p), this section, section 20 and any regulations made for the purpose of paragraph 20(1)(a),
where a taxpayer, having acquired property for the purpose of gaining or producing income, has begun at a later time to use it for some other purpose, the taxpayer shall be deemed to have disposed of it at that later time for proceeds of disposition equal to its fair market value at that time and to have reacquired it immediately thereafter at a cost equal to that fair market value;
where a taxpayer, having acquired property for some other purpose, has begun at a later time to use it for the purpose of gaining or producing income, the taxpayer shall be deemed to have acquired it at that later time at a capital cost to the taxpayer equal to the lesser of
the fair market value of the property at that later time, and
the total of
the cost to the taxpayer of the property at that later time determined without reference to this paragraph, paragraph 13(7)(a) and subparagraph 13(7)(d)(ii), and
1/2 of the amount, if any, by which exceeds the total of
the fair market value of the property at that later time
the cost to the taxpayer of the property as determined under clause 13(7)(b)(ii)(A), and
twice the amount deducted by the taxpayer under section 110.6 in respect of the amount, if any, by which the fair market value of the property at that later time exceeds the cost to the taxpayer of the property as determined under clause 13(7)(b)(ii)(A);
where property has, since it was acquired by a taxpayer, been regularly used in part for the purpose of gaining or producing income and in part for some other purpose, the taxpayer shall be deemed to have acquired, for the purpose of gaining or producing income, the proportion of the property that the use regularly made of the property for gaining or producing income is of the whole use regularly made of the property at a capital cost to the taxpayer equal to the same proportion of the capital cost to the taxpayer of the whole property and, if the property has, in such a case, been disposed of, the proceeds of disposition of the proportion of the property deemed to have been acquired for gaining or producing income shall be deemed to be the same proportion of the proceeds of disposition of the whole property;
where, at any time after a taxpayer has acquired property, there has been a change in the relation between the use regularly made by the taxpayer of the property for gaining or producing income and the use regularly made of the property for other purposes,
if the use regularly made by the taxpayer of the property for the purpose of gaining or producing income has increased, the taxpayer shall be deemed to have acquired at that time depreciable property of that class at a capital cost equal to the total of
the proportion of the lesser of that the amount of the increase in the use regularly made by the taxpayer of the property for that purpose is of the whole of the use regularly made of the property, and
its fair market value at that time, and
its cost to the taxpayer at that time determined without reference to this subparagraph, subparagraph 13(7)(d)(ii) and paragraph 13(7)(a)
1/2 of the amount, if any, by which exceeds the total of
the amount deemed under subparagraph 45(1)(c)(ii) to be the taxpayer’s proceeds of disposition of the property in respect of the change
that proportion of the cost to the taxpayer of the property as determined under subclause 13(7)(d)(i)(A)(II) that the amount of the increase in the use regularly made by the taxpayer of the property for that purpose is of the whole of the use regularly made of the property, and
twice the amount deducted by the taxpayer under section 110.6 in respect of the amount, if any, by which the amount determined under subclause 13(7)(d)(i)(B)(I) exceeds the amount determined under subclause 13(7)(d)(i)(B)(II), and
if the use regularly made of the property for the purpose of gaining or producing income has decreased, the taxpayer shall be deemed to have disposed at that time of depreciable property of that class and the proceeds of disposition shall be deemed to be an amount equal to the proportion of the fair market value of the property as of that time that the amount of the decrease in the use regularly made by the taxpayer of the property for that purpose is of the whole use regularly made of the property;
notwithstanding any other provision of this Act except subsection 70(13), where at a particular time a person or partnership (in this paragraph referred to as the “taxpayer”) has, directly or indirectly, in any manner whatever, acquired (otherwise than as a consequence of the death of the transferor) a depreciable property (other than a timber resource property) of a prescribed class from a person or partnership with whom the taxpayer did not deal at arm’s length (in this paragraph referred to as the “transferor”) and, immediately before the transfer, the property was a capital property of the transferor,

where a taxpayer is deemed by paragraph 110.6(19)(a) to have disposed of and reacquired a property that immediately before the disposition was a depreciable property, the taxpayer shall be deemed to have acquired the property from himself, herself or itself and, in so having acquired the property, not to have been dealing with himself, herself or itself at arm’s length;
if a taxpayer is deemed under paragraph 111(4)(e) to have disposed of and reacquired depreciable property (other than a timber resource property), the capital cost to the taxpayer of the property at the time of the reacquisition is deemed to be equal to the total of
the capital cost to the taxpayer of the property at the time of the disposition, and
1/2 of the amount, if any, by which the taxpayer’s proceeds of disposition of the property exceed the capital cost to the taxpayer of the property at the time of the disposition;
where the cost to a taxpayer of a passenger vehicle exceeds $20,000 or such other amount as is prescribed, the capital cost to the taxpayer of the vehicle shall be deemed to be $20,000 or that other prescribed amount, as the case may be; and
notwithstanding paragraph 13(7)(g), where a passenger vehicle is acquired by a taxpayer at any time from a person with whom the taxpayer does not deal at arm’s length, the capital cost at that time to the taxpayer of the vehicle shall be deemed to be the least of

as a consequence of the addition or alteration, the total amount payable by the lessee for the use of, or the right to use, the original property and the additional property exceeds the amount so payable in respect of the original property,
the following rules apply:
the lessee shall be deemed to have leased the additional property from the lessor at the particular time,
the term of the lease of the additional property shall be deemed to be greater than one year,
the lessor and the lessee shall be deemed to have jointly elected under subsection 16.1(1) in respect of the additional property,
the prescribed rate in effect at the particular time in respect of the additional property shall be deemed to be equal to the prescribed rate in effect in respect of the original property at the particular time,
the additional property shall be deemed not to be prescribed property, and
the excess referred to in paragraph 16.1(6)(c) shall be deemed to be an amount payable by the lessee for the use of, or the right to use, the additional property.
For the purposes of subsection 16.1(1), where at any time
a lease (in this subsection referred to as the “original lease”) of property is renegotiated in the course of a bona fide renegotiation, and
as a result of the renegotiation, the amount payable by the lessee of the property for the use of, or the right to use, the property is altered in respect of a period after that time (otherwise than because of an addition or alteration to which subsection 16.1(6) applies),
the original lease shall be deemed to have expired and the renegotiated lease shall be deemed to be a new lease of the property entered into at that time.
Where, at any time in a taxation year of a corporation resident in Canada, a non-resident person owes an amount to the corporation, that amount has been or remains outstanding for more than a year and the total determined under paragraph (b) for the year is less than the amount of interest that would be included in computing the corporation’s income for the year in respect of the amount owing if that interest were computed at a reasonable rate for the period in the year during which the amount was owing, the corporation shall include an amount in computing its income for the year equal to the amount, if any, by which
an amount that is included in computing the corporation’s income for the year or a subsequent year under subsection 91(1) and that can reasonably be attributed to interest on the amount owing for the period in the year during which the amount was owing.
an amount received or receivable by the corporation from a trust that is included in computing the corporation’s income for the year or a subsequent year and that can reasonably be attributed to interest on the amount owing for the period in the year during which the amount was owing, or
an amount included in computing the corporation’s income for the year as, on account of, in lieu of or in satisfaction of, interest in respect of the amount owing,
the total of all amounts each of which is
the amount of interest that would be included in computing the corporation’s income for the year in respect of the amount owing if that interest were computed at the prescribed rate for the period in the year during which the amount was owing
For the purpose of this section and subject to subsection (3), where
a non-resident person owes an amount at any time to a particular person or partnership (other than a corporation resident in Canada), and
it is reasonable to conclude that the particular person or partnership entered into the transaction under which the amount became owing or the particular person or partnership permitted the amount owing to remain outstanding because
a corporation resident in Canada made a loan or transfer of property, or
the particular person or partnership anticipated that a corporation resident in Canada would make a loan or transfer of property,
Subsection (2) does not apply to an amount owing at any time by a non-resident person to a particular person or partnership where
at that time, the non-resident person and the particular person or each member of the particular partnership, as the case may be, are controlled foreign affiliates of the corporation resident in Canada; or
at that time,
the non-resident person and the particular person are not related or the non-resident person and each member of the particular partnership are not related, as the case may be,
the terms or conditions made or imposed in respect of the amount owing, determined without reference to any loan or transfer of property by a corporation resident in Canada described in paragraph (2)(b) in respect of the amount owing, are such that persons dealing at arm’s length would have been willing to enter into them at the time that they were entered into, and
if there were an amount of interest payable on the amount owing at that time that would be required to be included in computing the income of a foreign affiliate of the corporation resident in Canada for a taxation year, that amount of interest would not be required to be included in computing the foreign accrual property income of the affiliate for that year.
For the purpose of this section, where a non-resident person owes an amount at any time to a partnership and subsection (2) does not deem the non-resident person to owe an amount equal to that amount to a corporation resident in Canada, the non-resident person is deemed at that time to owe to each member of the partnership, on the same terms as those that apply in respect of the amount owing to the partnership, that proportion of the amount owing to the partnership at that time that
the fair market value of the member’s interest in the partnership at that time
the fair market value of all interests in the partnership at that time.
For the purpose of this section, where a non-resident person owes an amount at any time to a trust and subsection (2) does not deem the non-resident person to owe an amount equal to that amount to a corporation resident in Canada,
where the trust is a non-discretionary trust at that time, the non-resident person is deemed at that time to owe to each beneficiary of the trust, on the same terms as those that apply in respect of the amount owing to the trust, that proportion of the amount owing to the trust that
the fair market value of the beneficiary’s interest in the trust at that time
the fair market value of all the beneficial interests in the trust at that time; and
in any other case, the non-resident person is deemed at that time to owe to each settlor in respect of the trust, on the same terms as those that apply in respect of the amount owing to the trust, an amount equal to the amount owing to the trust.
For the purpose of this section, where a particular partnership owes an amount at any time to any person or any other partnership (in this subsection referred to as the “lender”), each member of the particular partnership is deemed to owe at that time to the lender, on the same terms as those that apply in respect of the amount owing by the particular partnership to the lender, that proportion of the amount owing to the lender that
the fair market value of the member’s interest in the particular partnership at that time
the fair market value of all interests in the particular partnership at that time.
Subsection (1) does not apply in respect of an amount owing to a corporation resident in Canada by a non-resident person if a tax has been paid under Part XIII on the amount owing, except that, for the purpose of this subsection, tax under Part XIII is deemed not to have been paid on that portion of the amount owing in respect of which an amount was repaid or applied under subsection 227(6.1).
Subsection (1) does not apply to a corporation resident in Canada for a taxation year of the corporation in respect of an amount owing to the corporation by a non-resident person if the non-resident person is a controlled foreign affiliate of the corporation throughout the period in the year during which the amount is owing to the extent that it is established that the amount owing
arose as a loan or advance of money to the affiliate that the affiliate has used, throughout the period that began when the loan or advance was made and that ended at the earlier of the end of the year and the time at which the amount was repaid,
for the purpose of earning
income from an active business, as defined in subsection 95(1), of the affiliate, or
income that was included in computing the income from an active business of the affiliate under subsection 95(2), or
for the purpose of making a loan or advance to another controlled foreign affiliate of the corporation where, if interest became payable on the loan or advance at any time in the period and the affiliate was required to include the interest in computing its income for a taxation year, that interest would not be required to be included in computing the affiliate’s foreign accrual property income for that year; or
arose in the course of an active business, as defined in subsection 95(1), carried on by the affiliate throughout the period that began when the amount owing arose and that ended at the earlier of the end of the year and the time at which the amount was repaid.
Subsection (8.2) applies in respect of money (referred to in this subsection and in subsection (8.2) as “new borrowings”) that a controlled foreign affiliate of a particular corporation resident in Canada has borrowed from the particular corporation to the extent that the affiliate has used the new borrowings
to repay money (referred to in this subsection and in subsection (8.2) as “previous borrowings”) previously borrowed from any person or partnership, if
the previous borrowings became owing after the last time at which the affiliate became a controlled foreign affiliate of the particular corporation, and
the previous borrowings were, at all times after they became owing, used for a purpose described in subparagraph (8)(a)(i) or (ii); or
to pay an amount owing (referred to in this subsection and in subsection (8.2) as the “unpaid purchase price”) by the affiliate for property previously acquired from any person or partnership, if
the property was acquired, and the unpaid purchase price became owing, by the affiliate after the last time at which it became a controlled foreign affiliate of the particular corporation,
the unpaid purchase price is in respect of the property, and
throughout the period that began when the unpaid purchase price became owing by the affiliate and ended when the unpaid purchase price was so paid, the property had been used principally to earn income described in clause (8)(a)(i)(A) or (B).
To the extent that this subsection applies in respect of new borrowings, the new borrowings are, for the purpose of subsection (8), deemed to have been used for the purpose for which the proceeds from the previous borrowings were used or were deemed by this subsection to have been used, or to acquire the property in respect of which the unpaid purchase price was payable, as the case may be.
Subsection (1) does not apply to a corporation resident in Canada for a taxation year of the corporation in respect of an amount owing to the corporation by a non-resident person if
the corporation is not related to the non-resident person throughout the period in the year during which the amount owing is outstanding;
the amount owing arose in respect of goods sold or services provided to the non-resident person by the corporation in the ordinary course of the business carried on by the corporation; and
the terms and conditions in respect of the amount owing are such that persons dealing at arm’s length would have been willing to enter into them at the time that they were entered into.
For the purpose of this section, in determining whether persons are related to each other and whether a non-resident corporation is a controlled foreign affiliate of a corporation resident in Canada at any time,
each member of a partnership is deemed to own that proportion of the number of shares of a class of the capital stock of a corporation owned by the partnership at that time that
the fair market value of the member’s interest in the partnership at that time
the fair market value of all interests in the partnership at that time; and
each beneficiary of a non-discretionary trust is deemed to own that proportion of the number of shares of a class of the capital stock of a corporation owned by the trust at that time that
the fair market value of the beneficiary’s interest in the trust at that time
the fair market value of all the beneficial interests in the trust at that time.
For the purpose of this section, in determining whether persons are related to each other at any time, each settlor in respect of a trust, other than a non-discretionary trust, is deemed to own the shares of a class of the capital stock of a corporation owned by the trust at that time.
For the purposes of this section, in determining whether persons are related to each other at any time, any rights referred to in subparagraph 251(5)(b)(i) that exist at that time are deemed not to exist at that time to the extent that the exercise of those rights is prohibited at that time under a law of the country under the law of which the corporation was formed or last continued and is governed, that restricts the foreign ownership or control of the corporation.
For the purposes of subsection (2) and paragraph (3)(b), where a non-resident person, or a partnership each member of which is non-resident, (in this subsection referred to as the “intermediate lender”) makes a loan to a non-resident person, or a partnership each member of which is non-resident, (in this subsection referred to as the “intended borrower”) because the intermediate lender received a loan from another non-resident person, or a partnership each member of which is non-resident, (in this subsection referred to as the “initial lender”)
the loan made by the intermediate lender to the intended borrower is deemed to have been made by the initial lender to the intended borrower (to the extent of the lesser of the amount of the loan made by the initial lender to the intermediate lender and the amount of the loan made by the intermediate lender to the intended borrower) under the same terms and conditions and at the same time as it was made by the intermediate lender; and
the loan made by the initial lender to the intermediate lender and the loan made by the intermediate lender to the intended borrower are deemed not to have been made to the extent of the amount of the loan deemed to have been made under paragraph (a).
For the purpose of applying paragraph (3)(b) in respect of a corporation resident in Canada described in paragraph (2)(b), in determining whether persons described in subparagraph (3)(b)(i) are related to each other at any time, any rights referred to in paragraph 251(5)(b) that otherwise exist at that time are deemed not to exist at that time where, if the rights were exercised immediately before that time,
all of those persons would at that time be controlled foreign affiliates of the corporation resident in Canada; and
because of subsection (8), subsection (1) would not apply to the corporation resident in Canada in respect of the amount that would, but for this subsection, have been deemed to have been owing at that time to the corporation resident in Canada by the non-resident person described in subparagraph (3)(b)(i).
For the purpose of this section, in determining whether a non-resident person is a controlled foreign affiliate of a corporation resident in Canada at any time, each settlor in respect of a trust, other than a non-discretionary trust, is deemed to own that proportion of the number of shares of a class of the capital stock of a corporation owned by the trust at that time that one is of the number of settlors in respect of the trust at that time.
For the purpose of this section, where, at any time, two corporations resident in Canada are related (otherwise than because of a right referred to in paragraph 251(5)(b)), any corporation that is a controlled foreign affiliate of one of the corporations at that time is deemed to be a controlled foreign affiliate of the other corporation at that time.
For the purpose of this section,
where any person or partnership has a right under a contract, in equity or otherwise, either immediately or in the future and either absolutely or contingently, to, or to acquire, shares of the capital stock of a corporation and it can reasonably be considered that the principal purpose for the existence of the right is to avoid or reduce the amount of income that subsection (1) would otherwise require any corporation to include in computing its income for any taxation year, those shares are deemed to be owned by that person or partnership; and
where any person or partnership acquires or disposes of shares of the capital stock of a corporation, either directly or indirectly, and it can reasonably be considered that the principal purpose for the acquisition or disposition of the shares is to avoid or reduce the amount of income that subsection (1) would otherwise require any corporation to include in computing its income for any taxation year, those shares are deemed not to have been acquired or disposed of, as the case may be, and where the shares were unissued by the corporation immediately before the acquisition, those shares are deemed not to have been issued.
The definitions in this subsection apply in this section.
controlled foreign affiliate, at any time, of a taxpayer resident in Canada, means a corporation that would, at that time, be a controlled foreign affiliate of the taxpayer within the meaning assigned by the definition controlled foreign affiliate in subsection 95(1) if the word “or” were added at the end of paragraph (a) of that definition and
subparagraph (b)(ii) of that definition were read as “all of the shares of the capital stock of the foreign affiliate that are owned at that time by persons resident in Canada who do not deal at arm’s length with the taxpayer,”; and
subparagraph (b)(iv) of that definition were read as “all of the shares of the capital stock of the foreign affiliate that are owned at that time by persons resident in Canada who do not deal at arm’s length with any relevant Canadian shareholder;”.
exempt loan or transfer means
a loan made by a corporation resident in Canada where the interest rate charged on the loan is not less than the interest rate that a lender and a borrower would have been willing to agree to if they were dealing at arm’s length with each other at the time the loan was made;
a transfer of property (other than a transfer of property made for the purpose of acquiring shares of the capital stock of a foreign affiliate of a corporation or a foreign affiliate of a person resident in Canada with whom the corporation was not dealing at arm’s length) or payment of an amount owing by a corporation resident in Canada pursuant to an agreement made on terms and conditions that persons who were dealing at arm’s length at the time the agreement was entered into would have been willing to agree to;
a dividend paid by a corporation resident in Canada on shares of a class of its capital stock; and
a payment made by a corporation resident in Canada on a reduction of the paid-up capital in respect of shares of a class of its capital stock (not exceeding the total amount of the reduction).
non-discretionary trust, at any time, means a trust in which all interests were vested indefeasibly at the beginning of the trust’s taxation year that includes that time.
settlor in respect of a trust at any time means any person or partnership that has made a loan or transfer of property, either directly or indirectly, in any manner whatever, to or for the benefit of the trust at or before that time, other than, where the person or partnership deals at arm’s length with the trust at that time,
a loan made by the person or partnership to the trust at a reasonable rate of interest; or
a transfer made by the person or partnership to the trust for fair market value consideration.
Subject to subsection (2), if — at any time in a taxation year of a corporation resident in Canada (in this section referred to as the “CRIC”) or in a fiscal period of a qualifying Canadian partnership in respect of the CRIC — a non-resident corporation, or a partnership of which the non-resident corporation is a member, owes an amount to the CRIC or the qualifying Canadian partnership and the amount owing is a pertinent loan or indebtedness (as defined in subsection 15(2.11) or 212.3(11)),
section 17 does not apply in respect of the amount owing; and
the amount, if any, determined by the following formula is to be included in computing the income of the CRIC for the year or of the qualifying Canadian partnership for the fiscal period, as the case may be: A – B where A is the amount that is the greater of the amount of interest that would be included in computing the income of the CRIC for the year or of the qualifying Canadian partnership for the fiscal period, as the case may be, in respect of the amount owing for the particular period in the year, or the fiscal period, during which the amount owing was a pertinent loan or indebtedness if that interest were computed at the prescribed rate for the particular period, and the total of all amounts of interest payable in respect of the period in the year, or the fiscal period, during which the amount owing was a pertinent loan or indebtedness, by the CRIC, the qualifying Canadian partnership, a person resident in Canada with which the CRIC did not, at the time the amount owing arose, deal at arm’s length or a partnership of which the CRIC or the person is a member, in respect of a debt obligation — entered into as part of a series of transactions or events that includes the transaction by which the amount owing arose — to the extent that the proceeds of the debt obligation can reasonably be considered to have directly or indirectly funded, in whole or in part, the amount owing, and B is an amount included in computing the income of the CRIC for the year or of the qualifying Canadian partnership for the fiscal period, as the case may be, as, on account of, in lieu of or in satisfaction of, interest in respect of the amount owing for the period in the year, or the fiscal period, during which the amount owing was a pertinent loan or indebtedness.
If at any time a parent referred to in section 212.3 acquires control of a CRIC and the CRIC was not controlled by a non-resident corporation immediately before that time, no amount is to be included under subsection (1) in computing the income of the CRIC in respect of a pertinent loan or indebtedness (as defined in subsection 212.3(11)) for the period that begins at that time and ends on the day that is 180 days after that time.
A particular loan or indebtedness that would, in the absence of this subsection, be a pertinent loan or indebtedness is deemed not to be a pertinent loan or indebtedness if, because of a provision of a tax treaty, the amount included in computing the income of the CRIC for any taxation year or of the qualifying Canadian partnership for any fiscal period, as the case may be, in respect of the particular loan or indebtedness is less than it would be if no tax treaty applied.

except as expressly permitted, an amount that is deemed by subsection 260(5.1) to have been received by another person as an amount described in any of paragraphs 260(5.1)(a) to (c).
Notwithstanding paragraph 20(1)(c), in computing the taxpayer’s income for a particular taxation year from a business or property, no amount shall be deductible in respect of any expense incurred by the taxpayer in the year as, on account or in lieu of payment of, or in satisfaction of,
interest on debt relating to the acquisition of land, or
property taxes (not including income or profits taxes or taxes computed by reference to the transfer of property) paid or payable by the taxpayer in respect of land to a province or to a Canadian municipality,
used in the course of a business carried on in the particular year by the taxpayer, other than a business in the ordinary course of which land is held primarily for the purpose of resale or development, or
held primarily for the purpose of gaining or producing income of the taxpayer from the land for the particular year,
the amount, if any, by which the taxpayer’s gross revenue, if any, from the land for the particular year exceeds the total of all amounts deducted in computing the taxpayer’s income from the land for the year, and
in the case of a corporation whose principal business is the leasing, rental or sale, or the development for lease, rental or sale, or any combination thereof, of real or immovable property owned by it, to or for a person with whom the corporation is dealing at arm’s length, the corporation’s base level deduction for the particular year.
Where a taxpayer who is a member of a partnership was obligated to pay any amount as, on account or in lieu of payment of, or in satisfaction of, interest (in this subsection referred to as an “interest amount”) on money that was borrowed by the taxpayer before April 1, 1977 and that was used to acquire land owned by the partnership before that day or on an obligation entered into by the taxpayer before April 1, 1977 to pay for land owned by the partnership before that day, and, in a taxation year of the taxpayer, either,
the partnership has disposed of all or any portion of the land, or
the taxpayer has disposed of all or any portion of the taxpayer’s interest in the partnership
that was, by virtue of subsection 18(2), not deductible in computing the income of the taxpayer for any previous taxation year,
that was not deductible in computing the income of any other taxpayer for any taxation year,
that was not included in computing the adjusted cost base to the taxpayer of any property, and
that was not deductible under this subsection in computing the income of the taxpayer for any previous taxation year
For the purposes of this section, a corporation’s base level deduction for a taxation year is the amount that would be the amount of interest, computed at the prescribed rate, for the year in respect of a loan of $1,000,000 outstanding throughout the year, unless the corporation is associated in the year with one or more other corporations in which case, except as otherwise provided in this section, its base level deduction for the year is nil.
Notwithstanding subsection 18(2.2), if all of the corporations that are associated with each other in a taxation year have filed with the Minister in prescribed form an agreement whereby, for the purposes of this section, they allocate an amount to one or more of them for the taxation year and the amount so allocated or the total of the amounts so allocated, as the case may be, does not exceed $1,000,000, the base level deduction for the year for each of the corporations is the base level deduction that would be computed under subsection 18(2.2) in respect of the corporation if the reference in that subsection to $1,000,000 were read as a reference to the amount so allocated to it.
If any of the corporations that are associated with each other in a taxation year has failed to file with the Minister an agreement as contemplated by subsection 18(2.3) within 30 days after notice in writing by the Minister has been forwarded to any of them that such an agreement is required for the purpose of any assessment of tax under this Part, the Minister shall, for the purpose of this section, allocate an amount to one or more of them for the taxation year, which amount or the total of which amounts, as the case may be, shall equal $1,000,000 and in any such case, the amount so allocated to any corporation shall be deemed to be an amount allocated to the corporation pursuant to subsection 18(2.3).
Notwithstanding any other provision of this section,
where a corporation, in this paragraph referred to as the “first corporation”, has more than one taxation year ending in the same calendar year and is associated in two or more of those taxation years with another corporation that has a taxation year ending in that calendar year, the base level deduction of the first corporation for each taxation year in which it is associated with the other corporation ending in that calendar year is, subject to the application of paragraph 18(2.5)(b), an amount equal to its base level deduction for the first such taxation year determined without reference to paragraph 18(2.5)(b); and
where a corporation has a taxation year that is less than 51 weeks, its base level deduction for the year is that proportion of its base level deduction for the year determined without reference to this paragraph that the number of days in the year is of 365.
In subsection 18(2),
interest on debt relating to the acquisition of land includes
interest paid or payable in a year in respect of borrowed money that cannot be identified with particular land but that may nonetheless reasonably be considered (having regard to all the circumstances) as interest on borrowed money used in respect of or for the acquisition of land, and
interest paid or payable in the year by a taxpayer in respect of borrowed money that may reasonably be considered (having regard to all the circumstances) to have been used to assist, directly or indirectly,
another person with whom the taxpayer does not deal at arm’s length,
a corporation of which the taxpayer is a specified shareholder, or
a partnership of which the taxpayer’s share of any income or loss is 10% or more,
land does not, except to the extent that it is used for the provision of parking facilities for a fee or charge, include
any property that is a building or other structure affixed to land,
the land subjacent to any property described in paragraph (a), or
such land immediately contiguous to the land described in paragraph (b) that is a parking area, driveway, yard, garden or similar land as is necessary for the use of any property described in paragraph (a).
Notwithstanding any other provision of this Act, in computing a taxpayer’s income for a taxation year,
no deduction shall be made in respect of any outlay or expense made or incurred by the taxpayer (other than an amount deductible under paragraph 20(1)(a), 20(1)(aa) or 20(1)(qq) or subsection 20(29)) that can reasonably be regarded as a cost attributable to the period of the construction, renovation or alteration of a building by or on behalf of the taxpayer, a person with whom the taxpayer does not deal at arm’s length, a corporation of which the taxpayer is a specified shareholder or a partnership of which the taxpayer’s share of any income or loss is 10% or more and relating to the construction, renovation or alteration, or a cost attributable to that period and relating to the ownership during that period of land
that is subjacent to the building, or
that
is immediately contiguous to the land subjacent to the building,

if the amount of income or capital of the trust that the particular person, or a person with whom the particular person does not deal at arm’s length, may receive as a beneficiary of the trust depends on the exercise by any person of, or the failure by any person to exercise, a discretionary power, that person is deemed to have fully exercised, or to have failed to exercise, the power, as the case may be;

the amount determined by the formula A - B and
1/3 of the amount determined by the formula(A × C)/365 where A is the amount that would, if this Act were read without reference to this subsection, be deductible in respect of the premium in computing the taxpayer’s income, B is the total amount deductible in respect of the premium in computing the taxpayer’s income for preceding taxation years, and C is the number of days in the year, and

Subject to subsection 142.4(10), where at any time a payment, other than a payment that
can reasonably be considered to have been made in respect of the extension of the term of a debt obligation or in respect of the substitution or conversion of a debt obligation to another debt obligation or share, or

as consideration for a reduction in the rate of interest payable by the taxpayer on the debt obligation, or
as a penalty or bonus payable by the taxpayer because of the repayment by the taxpayer of all or part of the principal amount of the debt obligation before its maturity,

all amounts each of which is an amount paid at or before that time in satisfaction, in whole or in part, of the obligation to pay interest on the debt obligation in respect of a period or part of a period that is after that time, and
all amounts of interest payable on the debt obligation (determined without reference to subsection 18(9.2)) by the borrower in respect of taxation years ending after 1991 and before that time, or in respect of periods, or parts of periods, that are in such years and before that time (to the extent that the interest does not exceed a reasonable amount),
all amounts of interest deemed by subsection 18(9.2) to have been payable on the debt obligation by the borrower in respect of taxation years ending before that time, and
the amount of interest that would be deemed by subsection 18(9.2) to have been payable on the debt obligation by the borrower in respect of the year if the year had ended immediately before that time,
for the purpose of applying section 79 in respect of the borrower, the principal amount at that time of the debt obligation shall be deemed to be equal to the amount, if any, by which
the principal amount at that time of the debt obligation
the excess amount, and
the excess amount shall be deducted at that time in computing the forgiven amount in respect of the obligation (within the meaning assigned by subsection 80(1)).

as consideration for a reduction in the rate of interest payable on the debt obligation (excluding, for greater certainty, a payment described in paragraph 18(9.1)(a) or 18(9.1)(b)) in respect of a period or part thereof that is after 1991 and after that time,
Where the amount of interest payable on a debt obligation (determined without reference to subsection 18(9.2)) by a borrower in respect of a particular period or part thereof that is after 1991 can reasonably be regarded as an amount payable as consideration for
a reduction in the amount of interest that would otherwise be payable on the debt obligation in respect of a subsequent period, or
a reduction in the amount that was or may be paid before the beginning of a subsequent period in satisfaction of the obligation to pay interest on the debt obligation in respect of that subsequent period

the amount of interest payable on the debt obligation (determined without reference to subsection 18(9.2)) by any person or partnership in respect of a period shall, to the extent that that period is included in a taxation year of the borrower ending after 1991, be deemed, for the purposes of clause 18(9.2)(a)(iii)(A), subparagraph 18(9.2)(b)(i) and paragraph 18(9.3)(b), to be an amount of interest payable on the debt obligation by the borrower in respect of that year, and
the application of subsections 18(9.2) and 18(9.3) to the borrower in respect of the debt obligation after that time shall be determined on the assumption that subsection 18(9.2) applied to the borrower in respect of the debt obligation before that time,
to have been in existence throughout the particular period, and
to have had, throughout the particular period, taxation years ending on the day of the year on which its first taxation year ended.

for the particular period beginning at the particular time and ending at the end of the subsequent period or part thereof, and
at the rate or rates of interest applying under the debt obligation during the particular period (or, where the rate of interest of any part of the particular period is not fixed at the particular time, at the prescribed rate of interest in effect at the particular time),
for the purposes of applying subsections 18(9.2) to 18(9.6) and 18(9.8), be deemed to be neither an amount of interest payable on the debt obligation nor an amount paid in satisfaction of the obligation to pay interest on the debt obligation, and
be deemed to be a payment described in paragraph 18(9.1)(d) in respect of the debt obligation.
Nothing in any of subsections 18(9.2) to 18(9.7) shall be construed as providing that
the total of all amounts each of which is the amount of interest payable on a debt obligation by an individual (other than a trust), or deemed by subsection 18(9.2) to be payable on the debt obligation by a corporation, partnership or trust, in respect of a taxation year ending after 1991 and before any particular time,

Paragraph 18(1)(o) does not apply in respect of a contribution to an employee benefit plan
to the extent that the contribution
is made in respect of services performed by an employee who is not resident in Canada and is regularly employed in a country other than Canada, and
cannot reasonably be regarded as having been made in respect of services performed or to be performed during a period when the employee is resident in Canada;
the custodian of which is non-resident, to the extent that the contribution
is in respect of an employee who is non-resident at the time the contribution is made, and
cannot reasonably be regarded as having been made in respect of services performed or to be performed during a period when the employee is resident in Canada; or
the custodian of which is non-resident, to the extent that the contribution can reasonably be regarded as having been made in respect of services performed by an employee in a particular calendar month where
the employee was resident in Canada throughout no more than 60 of the 72 calendar months ending with the particular month, and
the employee became a member of the plan before the end of the month following the month in which the employee became resident in Canada,

Subsection 18(15) applies, subject to subsection 142.6(7), when

the amount of the transferor’s loss, if any, from the disposition (determined without reference to this subsection) is deemed to be a loss of the transferor from a disposition of the particular property at the first time, after the disposition,
at which a 30-day period begins throughout which neither the transferor nor a person affiliated with the transferor owns
the substituted property, or
a property that is identical to the substituted property and that was acquired after the day that is 31 days before the period begins,

The definitions in this subsection apply in this section.

the cost of a right to receive production were the total of all amounts each of which is a matchable expenditure to which the right relates; and

In computing a taxpayer’s income from a business or property for a taxation year, no amount of a matchable expenditure may be deducted except as provided by subsection 18.1(3).
If a taxpayer’s matchable expenditure would, but for subsection 18.1(2) and this subsection, be deductible in computing the taxpayer’s income, there may be deducted in respect of the matchable expenditure in computing the taxpayer’s income for a taxation year the amount that is determined under subsection 18.1(4) for the year in respect of the expenditure.
For the purpose of subsection 18.1(3), the amount determined under this subsection for a taxation year in respect of a taxpayer’s matchable expenditure is the amount, if any, that is the least of
the total of
the lesser of
1/5 of the matchable expenditure, and
the amount determined by the formula(A/B) × C where A is the number of months that are in the year and after the day on which the right to receive production to which the matchable expenditure relates is acquired, B is the lesser of 240 and the number of months that are in the period that begins on the day on which the right to receive production to which the matchable expenditure relates is acquired and that ends on the day the right is to terminate, and C is the amount of the matchable expenditure, and
the amount, if any, by which the amount determined under this paragraph for the preceding taxation year in respect of the matchable expenditure exceeds the amount of the matchable expenditure deductible in computing the taxpayer’s income for that preceding year,
the total of
all amounts each of which is included in computing the taxpayer’s income for the year (other than any portion of such amount that is the subject of a reserve claimed by the taxpayer for the year under this Act) in respect of the right to receive production to which the matchable expenditure relates, and
the amount by which the amount determined under this paragraph for the preceding taxation year in respect of the matchable expenditure exceeds the amount of the matchable expenditure deductible in computing the taxpayer’s income for that preceding year, and
the amount, if any, by which
the total of all amounts each of which is an amount of the matchable expenditure that would, but for this section, have been deductible in computing the taxpayer’s income for the year or a preceding taxation year
exceeds
the total of all amounts each of which is an amount of the matchable expenditure deductible under subsection 18.1(3) in computing the taxpayer’s income for a preceding taxation year.
For the purpose of this section,
where a taxpayer’s matchable expenditure is made before the day on which the related right to receive production is acquired by the taxpayer, the expenditure is deemed to have been made on that day;
where a taxpayer has one or more rights to renew a particular right to receive production to which a matchable expenditure relates for one or more additional terms, after the term that includes the time at which the particular right was acquired, the particular right is deemed to terminate on the latest day on which the latest possible such term could terminate if all rights to renew the particular right were exercised;
where a taxpayer has 2 or more rights to receive production that can reasonably be considered to be related to each other, the rights are deemed to be one right; and
where the term of a taxpayer’s right to receive production is for an indeterminate period, the right is deemed to terminate 240 months after it is acquired.
Where in a taxation year a taxpayer disposes of all or part of a right to receive production to which a matchable expenditure relates, the proceeds of the disposition shall be included in computing the taxpayer’s income for the year.
Subject to subsections 18.1(8) to 18.1(10), where in a taxation year a taxpayer disposes (otherwise than in a disposition to which subsection 87(1) or 88(1) applies) of all of the taxpayer’s right to receive production to which a matchable expenditure (other than an expenditure no portion of which would, if this section were read without reference to this subsection, be deductible under subsection 18.1(3) in computing the taxpayer’s income) relates, or the taxpayer’s right expires, the amount deductible in respect of the expenditure under subsection 18.1(3) in computing the taxpayer’s income for the year is deemed to be the amount, if any, determined under paragraph 18.1(4)(c) for the year in respect of the expenditure.
Subsection 18.1(10) applies where
a taxpayer’s particular right to receive production to which a matchable expenditure (other than an expenditure no portion of which would, if this section were read without reference to subsections 18.1(7) and 18.1(10), be deductible under subsection 18.1(3) in computing the taxpayer’s income) relates has expired or the taxpayer has disposed of all of the right (otherwise than in a disposition to which subsection 87(1) or 88(1) applies);
during the period that begins 30 days before and ends 30 days after the disposition or expiry, the taxpayer or a person affiliated, or who does not deal at arm’s length, with the taxpayer acquires a right to receive production (in this subsection and subsection 18.1(10) referred to as the “substituted property”) that is, or is identical to, the particular right; and
at the end of the period, the taxpayer or a person affiliated, or who does not deal at arm’s length, with the taxpayer owns the substituted property.
Subsection 18.1(10) applies where
a taxpayer’s particular right to receive production to which a matchable expenditure (other than an expenditure no portion of which would, if this section were read without reference to subsections 18.1(7) and 18.1(10), be deductible under subsection 18.1(3) in computing the taxpayer’s income) relates has expired or the taxpayer has disposed of all of the right (otherwise than in a disposition to which subsection 87(1) or 88(1) applies); and
during the period that begins at the time of the disposition or expiry and ends 30 days after that time, a taxpayer that had an interest, directly or indirectly, in the right has another interest, directly or indirectly, in another right to receive production, which other interest is a tax shelter or a tax shelter investment (as defined by section 143.2).
Where this subsection applies because of subsection 18.1(8) or 18.1(9) to a disposition or expiry in a taxation year or a preceding taxation year of a taxpayer’s right to receive production to which a matchable expenditure relates,
the amount deductible under subsection 18.1(3) in respect of the expenditure in computing the taxpayer’s income for a taxation year that ends at or after the disposition or expiry of the right is the least of the amounts determined under subsection 18.1(4) for the year in respect of the expenditure; and
the least of the amounts determined under subsection 18.1(4) in respect of the expenditure for a taxation year is deemed to be the amount, if any, determined under paragraph 18.1(4)(c) in respect of the expenditure for the year where the year includes the time that is immediately before the first time, after the disposition or expiry,
at which the right would, if it were owned by the taxpayer, be deemed by section 128.1 or subsection 149(10) to have been disposed of by the taxpayer,
that is immediately before the taxpayer is subject to a loss restriction event,
at which winding-up of the taxpayer begins (other than a winding-up to which subsection 88(1) applies), if the taxpayer is a corporation,
if subsection 18.1(8) applies, at which a 30-day period begins throughout which neither the taxpayer nor a person affiliated, or who does not deal at arm’s length, with the taxpayer owns
the substituted property, or
a property that is identical to the substituted property and that was acquired after the day that is 31 days before the period began, or
if subsection 18.1(9) applies, at which a 30-day period begins throughout which no taxpayer who had an interest, directly or indirectly, in the right has an interest, directly or indirectly, in another right to receive production if one or more of those direct or indirect interests in the other right is a tax shelter or tax shelter investment (as defined by section 143.2).
For the purpose of paragraph 18.1(10)(b), where a partnership otherwise ceases to exist at any time after a disposition or expiry referred to in subsection 18.1(10), the partnership is deemed not to have ceased to exist, and each taxpayer who was a member of the partnership immediately before the partnership would, but for this subsection, have ceased to exist is deemed to remain a member of the partnership until the time that is immediately after the first of the times described in subparagraphs 18.1(10)(b)(i) to 18.1(10)(b)(v).
For the purposes of subsections (8) and (10), a right to acquire a particular right to receive production (other than a right, as security only, derived from a mortgage, hypothec, agreement of sale or similar obligation) is deemed to be a right to receive production that is identical to the particular right.
For the purpose of applying section 143.2 to an amount that would, if this section were read without reference to this subsection, be a matchable expenditure any portion of the cost of which is deductible under subsection 18.1(3), the expenditure is deemed to be a tax shelter investment and that section shall be read without reference to subparagraph 143.2(6)(b)(ii).
Where the rate of return on a taxpayer’s right to receive production to which a matchable expenditure (other than an expenditure no portion of which would, if this section were read without reference to this subsection, be deductible under subsection 18.1(3) in computing the taxpayer’s income) relates is reasonably certain at the time the taxpayer acquires the right,
the right is, for the purposes of subsection 12(9) and Part LXX of the Income Tax Regulations, deemed to be a debt obligation in respect of which no interest is stipulated to be payable in respect of its principal amount and the obligation is deemed to be satisfied at the time the right terminates for an amount equal to the total of the return on the obligation and the amount that would otherwise be the matchable expenditure that is related to the right; and
notwithstanding subsection 18.1(3), no amount may be deducted in computing the taxpayer’s income in respect of any matchable expenditure that relates to the right.
Subsections (2) to (13) do not apply to a taxpayer’s matchable expenditure in respect of a right to receive production if
the expenditure is in respect of commissions, or other expenses, related to the issuance of an insurance policy for which all or a portion of a risk has been ceded to the taxpayer; and
the taxpayer and the person to whom the expenditure is made, or is to be made, are both insurers who are subject to the supervision of
the Superintendent of Financial Institutions, if the taxpayer or that person, as the case may be, is an insurer who is required by law to report to the Superintendent of Financial Institutions, or
the Superintendent of Insurance, or other similar officer or authority, of the province under whose laws the insurer is incorporated, in any other case.
Subsections (2) to (13) do not apply to a taxpayer’s matchable expenditure in respect of a right to receive production if
no portion of the matchable expenditure can reasonably be considered to have been paid to another taxpayer, or to a person or partnership with whom the other taxpayer does not deal at arm’s length, to acquire the right from the other taxpayer;
no portion of the matchable expenditure can reasonably be considered to relate to a tax shelter or a tax shelter investment (within the meaning assigned by subsection 143.2(1)); and
none of the main purposes for making the matchable expenditure can reasonably be considered to have been to obtain a tax benefit for the taxpayer, a person or partnership with whom the taxpayer does not deal at arm’s length, or a person or partnership that holds, directly or indirectly, an interest in the taxpayer.
Paragraph (4)(a) does not apply in determining the amount for a taxation year that may be deducted in respect of a taxpayer’s matchable expenditure in respect of a right to receive production if
before the end of the taxation year in which the matchable expenditure is made, the total of all amounts each of which is included in computing the taxpayer’s income for the year (other than any portion of any of those amounts that is the subject of a reserve claimed by the taxpayer for the year under this Act) in respect of the right to receive production that relates to the matchable expenditure exceeds 80% of the matchable expenditure; and
no portion of the matchable expenditure can reasonably be considered to have been paid to another taxpayer, or to a person or partnership with whom the other taxpayer does not deal at arm’s length, to acquire the right from the other taxpayer.

For the purpose of subsection (2), an amount payable in respect of an individual under a private health services plan in relation to a period does not exceed the individual’s cost of equivalent coverage under the plan in respect of another person in relation to the period to the extent that, in relation to the period, the amount does not exceed the product obtained when
the amount that would be the individual’s cost of coverage under the plan if the benefits and coverage in respect of the individual, the individual’s spouse or common-law partner and the members of the individual’s household were identical to the benefits and coverage made available in respect of the other person, the other person’s spouse or common-law partner and the members of the other person’s household
is multiplied by
the percentage of the cost of coverage under the plan in respect of the other person that is payable by the individual or a partnership of which the individual is a member.
Where
at any time after 1993 borrowed money ceases to be used by a taxpayer for the purpose of earning income from a capital property (other than real or immovable property or depreciable property), and
the amount of the borrowed money that was so used by the taxpayer immediately before that time exceeds the total of
where the taxpayer disposed of the property at that time for an amount of consideration that is not less than the fair market value of the property at that time, the amount of the borrowed money used to acquire the consideration,
where the taxpayer disposed of the property at that time and subparagraph 20.1(1)(b)(i) does not apply, the amount of the borrowed money that, if the taxpayer had received as consideration an amount of money equal to the amount by which the fair market value of the property at that time exceeds the amount included in the total by reason of subparagraph 20.1(1)(b)(iii), would be considered to be used to acquire the consideration,
where the taxpayer disposed of the property at that time for consideration that includes a reduction in the amount of the borrowed money, the amount of the reduction, and
where the taxpayer did not dispose of the property at that time, the amount of the borrowed money that, if the taxpayer had disposed of the property at that time and received as consideration an amount of money equal to the fair market value of the property at that time, would be considered to be used to acquire the consideration,
an amount of the borrowed money equal to the excess shall, to the extent that the amount is outstanding after that time, be deemed to be used by the taxpayer for the purpose of earning income from the property.
Where at any particular time after 1993 a taxpayer ceases to carry on a business and, as a consequence, borrowed money ceases to be used by the taxpayer for the purpose of earning income from the business, the following rules apply:
where, at any time (in this paragraph referred to as the “time of disposition”) at or after the particular time, the taxpayer disposes of property that was last used by the taxpayer in the business, an amount of the borrowed money equal to the lesser of
the fair market value of the property at the time of disposition, and
the amount of the borrowed money outstanding at the time of disposition that is not deemed by this paragraph to have been used before the time of disposition to acquire any other property
shall be deemed to have been used by the taxpayer immediately before the time of disposition to acquire the property;
subject to paragraph 20.1(2)(a), the borrowed money shall, after the particular time, be deemed not to have been used to acquire property that was used by the taxpayer in the business;
the portion of the borrowed money outstanding at any time after the particular time that is not deemed by paragraph 20.1(2)(a) to have been used before that subsequent time to acquire property shall be deemed to be used by the taxpayer at that subsequent time for the purpose of earning income from the business; and
the business shall be deemed to have fiscal periods after the particular time that coincide with the taxation years of the taxpayer, except that the first such fiscal period shall be deemed to begin at the end of the business’s last fiscal period that began before the particular time.
For the purpose of paragraph 20.1(2)(a),
where a property was used by a taxpayer in a business that the taxpayer has ceased to carry on, the taxpayer shall be deemed to dispose of the property at the time at which the taxpayer begins to use the property in another business or for any other purpose;
where a taxpayer, who has at any time ceased to carry on a business, regularly used a property in part in the business and in part for some other purpose,
the taxpayer shall be deemed to have disposed of the property at that time, and
the fair market value of the property at that time shall be deemed to equal the proportion of the fair market value of the property at that time that the use regularly made of the property in the business was of the whole use regularly made of the property; and
where the taxpayer is a trust, subsections 104(4) to 104(5.2) do not apply.
Where an amount is payable by a taxpayer for property, the amount shall be deemed, for the purposes of this section and, where subsection 20.1(2) applies with respect to the amount, for the purposes of this Act, to be payable in respect of borrowed money used by the taxpayer to acquire the property.
For the purposes of this section, where borrowed money that has been used to acquire an interest in a partnership is, as a consequence, considered to be used at any time for the purpose of earning income from a business or property of the partnership, the borrowed money shall be deemed to be used at that time for the purpose of earning income from property that is the interest in the partnership and not to be used for the purpose of earning income from the business or property of the partnership.
Where at any time a taxpayer uses borrowed money to repay money previously borrowed that was deemed by paragraph 20.1(2)(c) immediately before that time to be used for the purpose of earning income from a business,
paragraphs 20.1(2)(a) to 20.1(2)(c) apply with respect to the borrowed money; and
subsection 20(3) does not apply with respect to the borrowed money.
The following definitions apply in this section.
branch advance of an authorized foreign bank means an amount allocated or provided by, or on behalf of, the bank to, or for the benefit of, its Canadian banking business under terms that were documented, before the amount was so allocated or provided, to the same extent as, and in a form similar to the form in which, the bank would ordinarily document a loan by it to a person with whom it deals at arm’s length. (avance de succursale)
branch financial statements of an authorized foreign bank for a taxation year means the unconsolidated statements of assets and liabilities and of income and expenses for the year, in respect of its Canadian banking business,
that form part of the bank’s annual report for the year filed with the Superintendent of Financial Institutions as required under section 601 of the Bank Act, and accepted by the Superintendent, and
if no filing is so required for the taxation year, that are prepared in a manner consistent with the statements in the annual report or reports so filed and accepted for the period or periods in which the taxation year falls,
except if the Minister demonstrates that the statements are not prepared in accordance with generally-accepted accounting principles in Canada as modified by any specifications applicable to the bank made by the Superintendent of Financial Institutions under subsection 308(4) of the Bank Act (in this definition referred to as “modified GAAP”), in which case it means the statements subject to such modifications as are required to make them comply with modified GAAP. (états financiers de succursale)
calculation period of an authorized foreign bank for a taxation year means any one of a series of regular periods into which the year is divided in a designation by the bank in its return of income for the year or, in the absence of such a designation, by the Minister,
none of which is longer than 31 days;
the first of which commences at the beginning of the year and the last of which ends at the end of the year; and
that are, unless the Minister otherwise agrees in writing, consistent with the calculation periods designated for the bank’s preceding taxation year. (période de calcul)
The following descriptions apply for the purposes of the formulae in subsection (3) for any calculation period in a taxation year of an authorized foreign bank: A is the amount of the bank’s assets at the end of the period; BA is the amount of the bank’s branch advances at the end of the period; IBA is the total of all amounts each of which is a reasonable amount on account of notional interest for the period, in respect of a branch advance, that would be deductible in computing the bank’s income for the year if it were interest payable by, and the advance were indebtedness of, the bank to another person and if this Act were read without reference to paragraph 18(1)(v) and this section; IL is the total of all amounts each of which is an amount on account of interest for the period in respect of a liability of the bank to another person or partnership that would be deductible in computing the bank’s income for the year if this Act were read without reference to paragraph 18(1)(v) and this section; and L is the amount of the bank’s liabilities to other persons and partnerships at the end of the period.
In computing the income of an authorized foreign bank from its Canadian banking business for a taxation year, there may be deducted on account of interest for each calculation period of the bank for the year,
where the total amount at the end of the period of its liabilities to other persons and partnerships and branch advances is 95% or more of the amount of its assets at that time, an amount not exceeding
if the amount of liabilities to other persons and partnerships at that time is less than 95% of the amount of its assets at that time, the amount determined by the formula IL + IBA × (0.95 × A - L)/BA
and
if the amount of those liabilities at that time is greater than or equal to 95% of the amount of its assets at that time, the amount determined by the formula IL × (0.95 × A)/L
and
in any other case, the total of
the amount determined by the formula IL + IBA
and
the product of and
the amount claimed by the bank, in its return of income for the year, not exceeding the amount determined by the formula(0.95 × A) - (L + BA)
the average, based on daily observations, of the Bank of Canada bank rate for the period.
Only amounts that are in respect of an authorized foreign bank’s Canadian banking business, and that are recorded in the books of account of the business in a manner consistent with the manner in which they are required to be treated for the purposes of the branch financial statements, shall be used to determine
the amounts in subsection (2); and
the amounts in subsection (3) of an authorized foreign bank’s assets, liabilities to other persons and partnerships, and branch advances.
For the purposes of the description of IBA in subsection (2), a reasonable amount on account of notional interest for a calculation period in respect of a branch advance is the amount that would be payable on account of interest for the period by a notional borrower, having regard to the duration of the advance, the currency in which repayment is required and all other terms, as adjusted by paragraph (c), of the advance, if
the borrower were a person that dealt at arm’s length with the bank, that carried on the bank’s Canadian banking business and that had the same credit-worthiness and borrowing capacity as the bank;
the advance were a loan by the bank to the borrower; and
any of the terms of the advance (excluding the rate of interest, but including the structure of the interest calculation, such as whether the rate is fixed or floating and the choice of any reference rate referred to) that are not terms that would be made between the bank as lender and the borrower, having regard to all the circumstances, including the nature of the Canadian banking business, the use of the advanced funds in the business and normal risk management practices for banks, were instead terms that would be agreed to by the bank and the borrower.
The definitions in this subsection apply in this section.
exchange date in respect of a debt of a taxpayer that is at any time a weak currency debt means, if the debt is incurred or assumed by the taxpayer
in respect of borrowed money that is denominated in the final currency, the day that the debt is incurred or assumed by the taxpayer; and
in respect of borrowed money that is not denominated in the final currency, or in respect of the acquisition of property, the day on which the taxpayer uses the borrowed money or the acquired property, directly or indirectly, to acquire funds that are, or to settle an obligation that is, denominated in the final currency. (date de l’échange)

any of the following applies, namely,
the borrowed money is denominated in a currency (in this section referred to as the “final currency”) other than the weak currency, is used for the purpose of earning income from a business or property and is not used to acquire funds in a currency other than the final currency,
the borrowed money or the acquired property is used, directly or indirectly, to acquire funds that are denominated in a currency (in this section referred to as the “final currency”) other than the weak currency, that are used for the purpose of earning income from a business or property and that are not used to acquire funds in a currency other than the final currency,

the borrowed money or the acquired property is used, directly or indirectly, to settle another debt of the taxpayer that is at any time a weak currency debt in respect of which the final currency (which is deemed to be the final currency in respect of the particular debt) is a currency other than the currency of the particular debt;
the amount of the particular debt (together with any other debt that would, but for this paragraph, be at any time a weak currency debt, and that can reasonably be regarded as having been incurred or assumed by the taxpayer as part of a series of transactions that includes the incurring or assumption of the particular debt) exceeds $500,000; and
either of the following applies, namely,
if the rate at which interest is payable at the particular time in the weak currency in respect of the particular debt is determined under a formula based on the value from time to time of a reference rate (other than a reference rate the value of which is established or materially influenced by the taxpayer), the interest rate at the commitment time, as determined under the formula as though interest were then payable, exceeds by more than two percentage points the rate at which interest would have been payable at the commitment time in the final currency if
the taxpayer had, at the commitment time, instead incurred or assumed an equivalent amount of debt in the final currency on the same terms as the particular debt (excluding the rate of interest but including the structure of the interest calculation, such as whether the rate is fixed or floating) with those modifications that the difference in currency requires, and
interest on the equivalent amount of debt referred to in clause (A) was payable at the commitment time, or
in any other case, the rate at which interest is payable at the particular time in the weak currency in respect of the particular debt exceeds by more than two percentage points the rate at which interest would have been payable at the particular time in the final currency if at the commitment time the taxpayer had instead incurred or assumed an equivalent amount of debt in the final currency on the same terms as the particular debt (excluding the rate of interest but including the structure of the interest calculation, such as whether the rate is fixed or floating), with those modifications that the difference in currency requires.

no deduction on account of interest that accrues on the debt for any period that begins after the day that is the later of June 30, 2000 and the exchange date during which it is a weak currency debt shall exceed the amount of interest that would, if at the commitment time the taxpayer had instead incurred or assumed an equivalent amount of debt, the principal and interest in respect of which were denominated in the final currency, on the same terms as the particular debt (excluding the rate of interest but including the structure of the interest calculation, such as whether the rate is fixed or floating) have accrued on the equivalent debt during that period, with those modifications that the difference in currency requires;
the amount, if any, of the taxpayer’s gain or loss (in this section referred to as a “foreign exchange gain or loss”) for a taxation year on the settlement or extinguishment of the debt that arises because of the fluctuation in the value of any currency shall be included or deducted, as the case may be, in computing the taxpayer’s income for the year from the business or the property to which the debt relates; and
the amount of any interest on the debt that was, because of this subsection, not deductible is deemed, for the purpose of computing the taxpayer’s foreign exchange gain or loss on the settlement or extinguishment of the debt, to be an amount paid by the taxpayer to settle or extinguish the debt.
In applying subsection (2) in circumstances where a taxpayer has entered into a hedge in respect of a debt of the taxpayer that is at any time a weak currency debt, the amount paid or payable in the weak currency for a taxation year on account of interest on the debt, or paid in the weak currency in the year on account of the debt’s principal, shall be decreased by the amount of any foreign exchange gain, or increased by the amount of any foreign exchange loss, on the hedge in respect of the amount so paid or payable.
If the amount (expressed in the weak currency) outstanding on account of principal in respect of a debt of the taxpayer that is at any time a weak currency debt is reduced before maturity (whether by repayment or otherwise), the amount (expressed in the weak currency) of the reduction is deemed, except for the purposes of determining the rate of interest that would have been charged on an equivalent loan in the final currency and applying paragraph (b) of the definition weak currency debt in subsection (1), to have been a separate debt from the commitment time.
The definitions in section 12.5 apply for the purposes of this section.

This Part applies to a federal Crown corporation as if
any income or loss from a business carried on by the corporation as agent of Her Majesty, or from a property of Her Majesty administered by the corporation, were an income or loss of the corporation from the business or the property, as the case may be; and
any property, obligation or debt of any kind whatever held, administered, entered into or incurred by the corporation as agent of Her Majesty were a property, obligation or debt, as the case may be, of the corporation.
Notwithstanding any other provision of this Act, a prescribed federal Crown corporation and any corporation controlled by such a corporation are each deemed not to be a private corporation and paragraphs 149(1)(d) to (d.4) do not apply to those corporations.
Where land of Her Majesty has been transferred to a prescribed federal Crown corporation for purposes of disposition, the acquisition of the property by the corporation and any disposition thereof shall be deemed not to have been in the course of the business carried on by the corporation.
For the purpose of computing the income of a taxpayer for a taxation year from a farming or fishing business, the income from the business for that year may, if the taxpayer so elects, be computed in accordance with a method (in this section referred to as the “cash method”) whereby the income therefrom for that year shall be deemed to be an amount equal to the total of
all amounts that
were received in the year, or are deemed by this Act to have been received in the year, in the course of carrying on the business, and
were in payment of or on account of an amount that would, if the income from the business were not computed in accordance with the cash method, be included in computing income from the business for that or any other year,
with respect to a farming business, such amount, if any, as is specified by the taxpayer in respect of the business in the taxpayer’s return of income under this Part for the year, not exceeding the amount, if any, by which
the fair market value at the end of the year of inventory owned by the taxpayer in connection with the business at that time

with respect to a farming business, the amount, if any, that is the lesser of
the taxpayer’s loss from the business for the year computed without reference to this paragraph and to paragraph 28(1)(b), and
the value of inventory purchased by the taxpayer that was owned by the taxpayer in connection with the business at the end of the year, and
the total of all amounts each of which is an amount included in computing the taxpayer’s income for the year from the business because of subsection 13(1), 14(1), 80(13) or 80.3(3) or 80.3(5),
all amounts, other than amounts described in section 30, that
were paid in the year, or are deemed by this Act to have been paid in the year, in the course of carrying on the business,
in the case of amounts paid, or deemed by this Act to have been paid, for inventory, were in payment of or on account of an amount that would be deductible in computing the income from the business for the year or any other taxation year if that income were not computed in accordance with the cash method, and
in any other case, were in payment of or on account of an amount that would be deductible in computing the income from the business for a preceding taxation year, the year or the following taxation year if that income were not computed in accordance with the cash method,
all amounts, other than amounts described in section 30, that
would be deductible in computing the income from the business for the year if that income were not computed in accordance with the cash method,
are not deductible in computing the income from the business for any other taxation year, and
were paid in a preceding taxation year in the course of carrying on the business,
the total of all amounts each of which is the amount, if any, included under paragraph 28(1)(b) or 28(1)(c) in computing the taxpayer’s income from the business for the immediately preceding taxation year, and
the total of all amounts each of which is an amount deducted for the year under paragraph 20(1)(a), 20(1)(b) or 20(1)(uu), subsection 20(16) or 24(1), section 30 or subsection 80.3(2) or 80.3(4) in respect of the business,
Where at any time, and in circumstances where paragraph 69(1)(a) or 69(1)(c) applies, a taxpayer acquires inventory that is owned by the taxpayer in connection with a farming business the income from which is computed in accordance with the cash method, for the purposes of this section an amount equal to the cost to the taxpayer of the inventory shall be deemed
to have been paid by the taxpayer at that time and in the course of carrying on that business, and
to be the only amount so paid for the inventory by the taxpayer,
For the purpose of paragraph 28(1)(c) and notwithstanding section 10, inventory of a taxpayer shall be valued at any time at the lesser of the total amount paid by the taxpayer at or before that time to acquire it (in this section referred to as its “cash cost”) and its fair market value, except that an animal (in this section referred to as a “specified animal”) that is a horse or, where the taxpayer has so elected in respect thereof for the taxation year that includes that time or for any preceding taxation year, is a bovine animal registered under the Animal Pedigree Act, shall be valued
at any time in the taxation year in which it is acquired, at such amount as is designated by the taxpayer not exceeding its cash cost to the taxpayer and not less than 70% of its cash cost to the taxpayer; and
at any time in a subsequent taxation year, at such amount as is designated by the taxpayer not exceeding its cash cost to the taxpayer and not less than 70% of the total of
its value determined under this subsection at the end of the preceding taxation year, and
the total amount paid on account of the purchase price of the animal during the year.
For each taxation year that is less than 51 weeks, the reference in subsection 28(1.2) to “70” shall be read as a reference to the number determined by the formula 100 - (30 × A/365) where A is the number of days in the taxation year.
Subsection 28(1) does not apply for the purpose of computing the income of a taxpayer for a taxation year from a farming or fishing business carried on by the taxpayer jointly with one or more other persons, unless each of the other persons by whom the business is jointly carried on has elected to have his or her income from the business for that year computed in accordance with the cash method.
Where a taxpayer has filed a return of income under this Part for a taxation year wherein the taxpayer’s income for that year from a farming or fishing business has been computed in accordance with the cash method, income from the business for each subsequent taxation year shall, subject to the other provisions of this Part, be computed in accordance with that method unless the taxpayer, with the concurrence of the Minister and on such terms and conditions as are specified by the Minister, adopts some other method.
Notwithstanding subsections 28(1) and 28(5), where at the end of a taxation year a taxpayer who carried on a business the income from which was computed in accordance with the cash method is non-resident and does not carry on that business in Canada, an amount equal to the total of all amounts each of which is the fair market value of an amount outstanding during the year as or on account of a debt owing to the taxpayer that arose in the course of carrying on the business and that would have been included in computing the taxpayer’s income for the year if the amount had been received by the taxpayer in the year, shall (to the extent that the amount was not otherwise included in computing the taxpayer’s income for the year or a preceding taxation year) be included in computing the taxpayer’s income from the business
for the year, if the taxpayer was non-resident throughout the year; and
for the part of the year throughout which the taxpayer was resident in Canada, if the taxpayer was resident in Canada at any time in the year.
[Repealed, 2001, c. 17, s. 18(2)]
There shall be included in computing the income of a taxpayer for a taxation year such part of an amount received by the taxpayer in the year, on or after disposing of or ceasing to carry on a business or a part of a business, for, on account or in lieu of payment of, or in satisfaction of debts owing to the taxpayer that arose in the course of carrying on the business as would have been included in computing the income of the taxpayer for the year had the amount so received been received by the taxpayer in the course of carrying on the business.
Where a taxpayer has a basic herd of a class of animals and disposes of an animal of that class in the course of carrying on a farming business in a taxation year, if the taxpayer so elects in the taxpayer’s return of income under this Part for the year the following rules apply:
there shall be deducted in computing the taxpayer’s basic herd of that class at the end of the year such number as is designated by the taxpayer in the taxpayer’s election, not exceeding the least of
the number of animals of that class so disposed of by the taxpayer in that year,
1/10 of the taxpayer’s basic herd of that class on December 31, 1971, and
the taxpayer’s basic herd of that class of animal at the end of the immediately preceding taxation year; and
there shall be deducted in computing the taxpayer’s income from the farming business for the taxation year the product obtained when
the number determined under paragraph 29(1)(a) in respect of the taxpayer’s basic herd of that class for the year
is multiplied by
the quotient obtained when the fair market value on December 31, 1971 of the taxpayer’s animals of that class on that day is divided by the number of the taxpayer’s animals of that class on that day.
Where a taxpayer carries on a farming business in a taxation year and the taxpayer’s basic herd of any class at the end of the immediately preceding year, minus the deduction, if any, required by paragraph 29(1)(a) to be made in computing the taxpayer’s basic herd of that class at the end of the year, exceeds the number of animals of that class owned by the taxpayer at the end of the year,
there shall be deducted in computing the taxpayer’s basic herd of that class at the end of the year the number of animals comprising the excess; and
there shall be deducted in computing the taxpayer’s income from the farming business for the taxation year the product obtained when
the number of animals comprising the excess
is multiplied by
the quotient obtained when the fair market value on December 31, 1971 of the taxpayer’s animals of that class on that day is divided by the number of the taxpayer’s animals of that class on that day.
For the purposes of this section,
a taxpayer’s basic herd of any class of animals at a particular time means such number of the animals of that class that the taxpayer had on hand at the end of his 1971 taxation year as were, for the purpose of assessing the taxpayer’s tax under this Part for that year, accepted by the Minister, as a consequence of an application made by the taxpayer, to be capital properties and not to be stock-in-trade, minus the numbers, if any, required by virtue of this section to be deducted in computing the taxpayer’s basic herd of that class at the end of taxation years of the taxpayer ending before the particular time;
class of animals means animals of a particular species, namely, cattle, horses, sheep or swine, that are
purebred animals of that species for which a certificate of registration has been issued by a person recognized by breeders in Canada of purebred animals of that species to be the registrar of the breed to which such animals belong, or issued by the Canadian Livestock Records Corporation, or
animals of that species other than purebred animals described in subparagraph 29(3)(b)(i),
each of which descriptions in subparagraphs 29(3)(b)(i) and 29(3)(b)(ii) shall be deemed to be of separate classes, except that where the number of the taxpayer’s animals described in subparagraph 29(3)(b)(i) or 29(3)(b)(ii), as the case may be, of a particular species is not greater than 10% of the total number of the taxpayer’s animals of that species that would otherwise be of two separate classes by virtue of this paragraph, the taxpayer’s animals described in subparagraphs 29(3)(b)(i) and 29(3)(b)(ii) of that species shall be deemed to be of a single class; and
in determining the number of animals of any class on hand at any time, an animal shall not be included if it was acquired for a feeder operation, and an animal shall be included only if its actual age is not less than,
in the case of cattle, 2 years,
in the case of horses, 3 years, and
in the case of sheep or swine, one year,
except that 2 animals of a class under the age specified in subparagraph 29(3)(c)(i), 29(3)(c)(ii) or 29(3)(c)(iii), as the case may be, shall be counted as one animal of the age so specified.
Notwithstanding paragraphs 18(1)(a) and 18(1)(b), there may be deducted in computing a taxpayer’s income for a taxation year from a farming business any amount paid by the taxpayer before the end of the year for clearing land, levelling land or installing a land drainage system for the purposes of the business, to the extent that the amount has not been deducted in a preceding taxation year.
If a taxpayer’s chief source of income for a taxation year is neither farming nor a combination of farming and some other source of income that is a subordinate source of income for the taxpayer, then for the purposes of sections 3 and 111 the taxpayer’s loss, if any, for the year from all farming businesses carried on by the taxpayer is deemed to be the total of
the lesser of
the amount by which the total of the taxpayer’s losses for the year, determined without reference to this section and before making any deduction under section 37, from all farming businesses carried on by the taxpayer exceeds the total of the taxpayer’s incomes for the year, so determined from all such businesses, and
$2,500 plus the lesser of
1/2 of the amount by which the amount determined under subparagraph 31(1)(a)(i) exceeds $2,500, and
$15,000, and
the amount, if any, by which
the amount that would be determined under subparagraph (a)(i) if it were read without reference to “and before making any deduction under section 37”,
exceeds
the amount determined under subparagraph 31(1)(a)(i).
For the purposes of this Act, a taxpayer’s “restricted farm loss” for a taxation year is the amount, if any, by which
the amount determined under subparagraph 31(1)(a)(i) in respect of the taxpayer for the year
exceeds
the total of the amount determined under subparagraph 31(1)(a)(ii) in respect of the taxpayer for the year and all amounts each of which is an amount by which the taxpayer’s restricted farm loss for the year is required to be reduced because of section 80.
Subsection (1) does not apply to a taxpayer for a taxation year if the taxpayer’s chief source of income for the year is a combination of farming and manufacturing or processing in Canada of goods for sale and all or substantially all output from all farming businesses carried on by the taxpayer is used in the manufacturing or processing.
In computing a taxpayer’s income for a taxation year from the taxpayer’s business as an insurance agent or broker, no amount may be deducted under paragraph 20(1)(m) for the year in respect of unearned commissions from the business, but in computing the taxpayer’s income for the year from the business there may be deducted, as a reserve in respect of such commissions, an amount equal to the lesser of
the total of all amounts each of which is that proportion of an amount that has been included in computing the taxpayer’s income for the year or a preceding taxation year as a commission in respect of an insurance contract (other than a life insurance contract) that
the number of days in the period provided for in the insurance contract that are after the end of the taxation year
is of
the number of days in that period, and
the total of all amounts each of which is the amount that would, but for this subsection, be deductible under paragraph 20(1)(m) for the year in respect of a commission referred to in paragraph 32(1)(a).
There shall be included as income of a taxpayer for a taxation year from a business as an insurance agent or broker, the amount deducted under subsection 32(1) in computing the taxpayer’s income therefrom for the immediately preceding year.
In computing a taxpayer’s income for a taxation year ending after 1990 from a business carried on by the taxpayer throughout the year as an insurance agent or broker, there may be deducted as an additional reserve an amount not exceeding
where the year ends in 1991, 90%,

where the year ends after 1999, 0%
of the amount, if any, by which
the reserve that was deducted by the taxpayer under subsection 32(1) for the taxpayer’s last taxation year ending before 1991
exceeds
the amount deductible by the taxpayer under subsection 32(1) for the taxpayer’s first taxation year ending after 1990,
and any amount so deducted by the taxpayer for a taxation year shall be deemed for the purposes of subsection 32(2) to have been deducted for that year under subsection 32(1).
Where a taxpayer has made contributions to an employee benefit plan in respect of the taxpayer’s employees or former employees, the taxpayer may deduct in computing the taxpayer’s income for a taxation year
such portion of an amount allocated to the taxpayer for the year under subsection 32.1(2) by the custodian of the plan as does not exceed the amount, if any, by which
the total of all amounts each of which is a contribution by the taxpayer to the plan for the year or a preceding year
exceeds the total of all amounts each of which is
an amount in respect of the plan deducted by the taxpayer in computing the taxpayer’s income for a preceding year, or
an amount received by the taxpayer in the year or a preceding year that was a return of amounts contributed by the taxpayer to the plan; and
where at the end of the year all of the obligations of the plan to the taxpayer’s employees and former employees have been satisfied and no property of the plan will thereafter be paid to or otherwise be available for the benefit of the taxpayer, the amount, if any, by which
the total of all amounts each of which is a contribution by the taxpayer to the plan for the year or a preceding year
exceeds the total of all amounts each of which is
an amount in respect of the plan deducted by the taxpayer in computing the taxpayer’s income for a preceding year, or, by virtue of paragraph 32.1(1)(a), for the year, or
an amount received by the taxpayer in the year or a preceding year that was a return of amounts contributed by the taxpayer to the plan.
Every custodian of an employee benefit plan shall each year allocate to persons who have made contributions to the plan in respect of their employees or former employees the amount, if any, by which the total of
all payments made in the year out of or under the plan to or for the benefit of their employees or former employees (other than the portion thereof that, by virtue of subparagraph 6(1)(g)(ii), is not required to be included in computing the income of a taxpayer), and
all payments made in the year out of or under the plan to the heirs or the legal representatives of their employees or former employees
exceeds the income of the plan for the year.
For the purposes of subsection 32.1(2), the income of an employee benefit plan for a year
in the case of a plan that is a trust, is the amount that would be its income for the year if section 104 were read without reference to subsections 104(4) to 104(24); and
in any other case, is the total of all amounts each of which is the amount, if any, by which a payment under the plan by the custodian thereof in the year exceeds
in the case of an annuity, that part of the payment determined in prescribed manner to have been a return of capital, and
in any other case, that part of the payment that could, but for paragraph 6(1)(g), reasonably be regarded as being a payment of a capital nature.

For the purposes of this Act, the following rules apply:
in computing the income of a corporation for a taxation year,
an adjusted stub period accrual included under subsection (2) in respect of a partnership for the year is deemed to be income, and taxable capital gains from the disposition of property, having the same character and to be in the same proportions as any income and taxable capital gains that were allocated by the partnership to the corporation for all fiscal periods of the partnership ending in the year,
an amount included under subsection (3) in respect of a partnership for the year is deemed to be income, and taxable capital gains from the disposition of property, having the same character and to be in the same proportions as any income and taxable capital gains that were allocated by the partnership to the corporation for the particular period referred to in that subsection,
an amount, a portion of which is deductible or is an allowable capital loss under subsection (4) in respect of a partnership for the year, is deemed to have the same character and to be in the same proportions as the income and taxable capital gains included in the corporation’s income for the immediately preceding taxation year under subsection (2) or (3) in respect of the partnership,

a corporation’s capital dividend account, as defined in subsection 89(1), is to be determined without reference to this section; and
the reference in subparagraph 53(2)(c)(i.4) to an amount deducted under subsection (11) by a taxpayer includes an amount deemed to be an allowable capital loss under subparagraph (11)(b)(ii).
A corporation may designate an amount for a taxation year in respect of a qualified resource expense under the definition adjusted stub period accrual in subsection (1) subject to the following rules:
the corporation cannot designate an amount for the year in respect of a qualified resource expense in respect of a partnership except to the extent the corporation obtains from the partnership, before the corporation’s filing-due date for the year, information in writing identifying the corporation’s qualified resource expenses described
in paragraph (h) of the definition Canadian exploration expense in subsection 66.1(6), determined as if those expenses had been incurred by the partnership in its last fiscal period that ended in the year,
in paragraph (f) of the definition Canadian development expense in subsection 66.2(5), determined as if those expenses had been incurred by the partnership in its last fiscal period that ended in the year,

the amount designated for the year by the corporation is not to exceed the maximum amount that would be deductible by the corporation under any of sections 66.1, 66.2, 66.21 and 66.4 in computing its income for the year if
the amounts referred to in paragraph (a) in respect of the partnership were the only amounts relevant in determining the maximum amount, and
the fiscal period of the partnership that begins in the year and ends after the year had ended at the end of the year and each qualified resource expense were deemed under subsection 66(18) to be incurred by the corporation at the end of the year.
Subsections (2) and (3) do not apply in computing a corporation’s income for a taxation year in respect of a partnership if the corporation becomes a bankrupt in the year.
This section does not apply for the purposes of computing, for a taxation year of a foreign affiliate of a corporation resident in Canada,
the foreign accrual property income of the affiliate in respect of the corporation; and
except to the extent that the context otherwise requires, the exempt surplus or exempt deficit, the hybrid surplus or hybrid deficit, and the taxable surplus or taxable deficit (as those terms are defined in subsection 5907(1) of the Income Tax Regulations) of the affiliate in respect of the corporation.
If a corporation is a member of a partnership subject to a multi-tier alignment, subsection (2) does not apply to the corporation in respect of the partnership for taxation years preceding the taxation year that includes the end of the first aligned fiscal period of the partnership under the multi-tier alignment.
Once a corporation makes a designation in calculating its adjusted stub period accrual in respect of a partnership for a taxation year under any of the description of E or F of paragraph (a), the description of E or F of subparagraph (b)(i) and the description of F or G of subparagraph (b)(ii) of the definition adjusted stub period accrual in subsection (1), the designation cannot be amended or revoked.
If a corporation has qualifying transitional income in respect of a partnership for a particular taxation year,
the corporation may, in computing its income for the particular year, claim an amount, as a reserve, not exceeding the least of
the specified percentage for the particular year of the corporation’s qualifying transitional income in respect of the partnership,
if, for the immediately preceding taxation year, an amount was claimed under this subsection in computing the corporation’s income in respect of the partnership, the amount that is the total of
the amount included under subsection (12) in computing the corporation’s income for the particular year in respect of the partnership, and
the amount by which the corporation’s qualifying transitional income in respect of the partnership is increased in the particular year because of the application of subsections (16) and (17), and
the amount determined by the formula A – B where A is the corporation’s income for the particular year computed before deducting or claiming any amount under this subsection in respect of the partnership or under section 61.3 and 61.4, and B is the total of all amounts each of which is an amount deductible by the corporation for the year under section 112 or 113 in respect of a dividend received by the corporation after December 20, 2012; and
the portion of the amount claimed under paragraph (a) for the particular year that, because of subparagraph (5)(a)(iv), has
a character other than capital is deductible in computing the income of the corporation for the particular year, and
the character of capital is deemed to be an allowable capital loss of the corporation for the particular year from the disposition of property.
Subject to subsection (5), if a reserve was claimed by a corporation under subsection (11) in respect of a partnership for the immediately preceding taxation year,
the portion of the reserve that was deducted under subparagraph (11)(b)(i) for that preceding year is to be included in computing the income of the corporation for the current taxation year; and
the portion of the reserve that was deemed by subparagraph (11)(b)(ii) to be an allowable capital loss of the corporation for that preceding year is deemed to be a taxable capital gain of the corporation for the current taxation year from the disposition of property.
No claim shall be made under subsection (11) in computing a corporation’s income for a taxation year in respect of a partnership
unless,
in the case of a corporation that is a member of a partnership in respect of which there is a multi-tier alignment, the corporation has been a member of the partnership continuously since before March 22, 2011 to the end of the year,
in the case of a corporation that is a member of a partnership in respect of which there is no multi-tier alignment, the corporation is a member of the partnership
at the end of the partnership’s fiscal period that begins before March 22, 2011 and ends in the year of the corporation that includes March 22, 2011,
at the end of the partnership’s fiscal period commencing immediately after the fiscal period referred to in clause (A) and continues to be a member until after the end of the year of the corporation that includes March 22, 2011, and
continuously since before March 22, 2011 until the end of the year;
if at the end of the year or at any time in the following taxation year,
the corporation’s income is exempt from tax under this Part, or
the corporation is non-resident and the partnership does not carry on business through a permanent establishment (as defined for the purpose of subsection 16.1(1)) in Canada; or
if the year ends immediately before another taxation year
at the beginning of which the partnership no longer principally carries on the activities to which the reserve relates,
in which the corporation becomes a bankrupt, or
in which the corporation is dissolved or wound up (other than in circumstances to which subsection 88(1) applies).
A corporation that cannot claim an amount under subsection (11) for a taxation year in respect of a partnership solely because it has disposed of its interest in the partnership is deemed for the purposes of paragraph (13)(a) to be a member of a partnership continuously until the end of the taxation year if
the corporation disposed of its interest to another corporation related to, or affiliated with, the corporation at the time of the disposition; and
a corporation related to, or affiliated with, the corporation has the partnership interest referred to in paragraph (a) at the end of the taxation year.
For the purposes of determining a corporation’s qualifying transitional income, the income or loss, as the case may be, of a partnership for a fiscal period shall be computed as if
the partnership had deducted for the period the maximum amount deductible in respect of any expense, reserve, allowance or other amount;
this Act were read without reference to paragraph 28(1)(b); and
the partnership had made an election under paragraph 34(a).
Subsection (17) applies for a particular taxation year of a corporation and for each subsequent taxation year for which the corporation may claim an amount under subsection (11) in respect of a partnership if the particular year is the first taxation year
that is after the taxation year in which the corporation has, or would have if the partnership had income, an adjusted stub period accrual that is included in the corporation’s qualifying transitional income in respect of the partnership by reason of paragraph (b) of the definition qualifying transitional income in subsection (1); and
in which ends the fiscal period of the partnership that began in the taxation year referred to in paragraph (a).
If this subsection applies in respect of a partnership for a taxation year of a corporation, the adjusted stub period accrual included in the corporation’s qualifying transitional income in respect of the partnership for the year is computed as if
the descriptions in paragraph (a) and subparagraph (b)(i) of the definition adjusted stub period accrual in subsection (1) read as follows: A is the total of all amounts each of which is the corporation’s share of an income or taxable capital gain of the partnership for the particular period (other than any amount for which a deduction is available under section 112 or 113), B is the total of all amounts each of which is the corporation’s share of a loss or allowable capital loss — to the extent that the total of all allowable losses does not exceed the total of all taxable capital gains included in the description of A — of the partnership for the particular period, C is the number of days that are in both the year and the particular period, D is the number of days in the particular period, E is the amount of the qualified resource expense in respect of the particular period of the partnership that is designated by the corporation for the year under subsection (6) in its return of income for the year filed with the Minister on or before its filing-due date for the year, and F is nil; and
the descriptions in subparagraph (b)(ii) of the definition adjusted stub period accrual in subsection (1) read as follows: A is the total of all amounts each of which is the corporation’s share of an income or taxable capital gain of the partnership for the particular period (other than any amount for which a deduction is available under section 112 or 113), B the total of all amounts each of which is the corporation’s share of a loss or allowable capital loss — to the extent that the total of all allowable capital losses does not exceed the total of all taxable capital gains included in the description of A — of the partnership for the particular period, C is nil, D is the number of days that are in both the year and the particular period, E is the number of days in the particular period, F is the amount of the qualified resource expense in respect of the particular period of the partnership that is designated by the corporation for the year under subsection (6) in its return of income for the year filed with the Minister on or before its filing-due date for the year, and G is nil.
If it is reasonable to conclude that one of the main reasons a corporation is a member of a partnership in a taxation year is to avoid the application of subsection (13), the corporation is deemed not to be a member of the partnership for the purposes of that subsection.
The definitions in this subsection and in subsection 34.2(1) apply in this section.
actual stub period accrual, of a corporation in respect of a qualifying partnership for a taxation year, means the positive or negative amount determined by the formula(A – B) × C/D – E where A is the total of all amounts each of which is the corporation’s share of an income or taxable capital gain of the qualifying partnership for the last fiscal period of the partnership that began in the base year (other than any amount for which a deduction was available under section 112 or 113); B is the total of all amounts each of which is the corporation’s share of a loss or allowable capital loss of the qualifying partnership for the last fiscal period of the partnership that began in the base year (to the extent that the total of all allowable capital losses included under this description in respect of all qualifying partnerships for the taxation year does not exceed the corporation’s share of all taxable capital gains of all qualifying partnerships for the taxation year); C is the number of days that are in both the base year and the fiscal period; D is the number of days in the fiscal period; and E is the amount of the qualified resource expense in respect of the qualifying partnership that was designated by the corporation for the base year under subsection 34.2(6) in its return of income for the base year filed with the Minister on or before its filing-due date for the base year.

the corporation has designated an amount for the purpose of the description of F in paragraph (a) of the definition adjusted stub period accrual in subsection 34.2(1) in calculating its adjusted stub period accrual for the base year in respect of a qualifying partnership for the taxation year; and
where the corporation has qualifying transitional income, the taxation year is after the first taxation year of the corporation to which subsection 34.2(17) applies.
If this subsection applies to a corporation for a taxation year, the corporation shall include in computing its income for the taxation year the amount determined by the formula A + 0.50 × (A – B) where A is the amount that is the total of all amounts each of which is the corporation’s income shortfall adjustment in respect of a qualifying partnership for the year; and B is the amount that is the lesser of A and the total of all amounts each of which is 25% of the positive amount, if any, that would be the income shortfall adjustment in respect of a qualifying partnership for the year if the value of the description of B in the definition income shortfall adjustment in subsection (1) were nil.

the total of all amounts each of which is the amount of any government assistance or non-government assistance (as defined in subsection 127(9)) in respect of an expenditure described in paragraph (a) or (b), as paragraph (a) or (b), as the case may be, read in its application in respect of the expenditure, that at the taxpayer’s filing-due date for the year the taxpayer has received, is entitled to receive or can reasonably be expected to receive,
the total of all amounts each of which is the super-allowance benefit amount (within the meaning assigned by subsection 127(9)) for the year or for a preceding taxation year in respect of the taxpayer in respect of a province,
that part of the total of all amounts each of which is an amount deducted under subsection 127(5) in computing the tax payable under this Part by the taxpayer for a preceding taxation year where the amount can reasonably be attributed to
a prescribed proxy amount for a preceding taxation year,
an expenditure of a current nature incurred in a preceding taxation year that was a qualified expenditure incurred in that preceding year in respect of scientific research and experimental development for the purposes of section 127, or
an amount included because of paragraph 127(13)(e) in the taxpayer’s SR&ED qualified expenditure pool at the end of a preceding taxation year within the meaning assigned by subsection 127(9),
the total of all amounts each of which is an amount deducted under this subsection in computing the taxpayer’s income for a preceding taxation year, except amounts described in subsection 37(6),
the total of all amounts each of which is the lesser of
the amount deducted under section 61.3 in computing the taxpayer’s income for a preceding taxation year, and
the amount, if any, by which the amount that was deductible under this subsection in computing the taxpayer’s income for that preceding year exceeds the amount claimed under this subsection in computing the taxpayer’s income for that preceding year,
the total of all amounts each of which is an amount equal to twice the amount claimed under subparagraph 194(2)(a)(ii) by the taxpayer for the year or any preceding taxation year, and
if the taxpayer was subject to a loss restriction event before the end of the year, the amount determined for the year under subsection (6.1) with respect to the taxpayer.
Notwithstanding paragraph 37(8)(c), for the purposes of subsection 37(1), where a taxpayer is a corporation, scientific research and experimental development, related to a business carried on by another corporation to which the taxpayer is related (otherwise than by reason of a right referred to in paragraph 251(5)(b)) and in which that other corporation is actively engaged, at the time at which an expenditure or payment in respect of the scientific research and experimental development is made by the taxpayer, shall be considered to be related to a business of the taxpayer at that time.
For the purposes of paragraph 37(1)(b), an expenditure made by a taxpayer in respect of property shall be deemed not to have been made before the property is considered to have become available for use by the taxpayer.
For the purposes of this section and section 127 of this Act and Part XXIX of the Income Tax Regulations, an expenditure is deemed to have been made by a taxpayer in Canada if the expenditure is
made by the taxpayer in the course of a business carried on by the taxpayer in Canada; and
made for the prosecution of scientific research and experimental development in the exclusive economic zone of Canada, within the meaning of the Oceans Act, or in the airspace above that zone or the seabed or subsoil below that zone.
For the purposes of this section, section 127 and Part XXIX of the Income Tax Regulations, the amount of a taxpayer’s expenditure for a taxation year determined under subsection (1.5) is deemed to be made in the taxation year in respect of scientific research and experimental development carried on in Canada by the taxpayer.
The amount of a taxpayer’s expenditure for a taxation year determined under this subsection is the lesser of
the amount that is the total of all expenditures each of which is an expenditure made by the taxpayer, in the taxation year and after February 25, 2008, in respect of an expense incurred in the taxation year for salary or wages paid to the taxpayer’s employee who was resident in Canada at the time the expense was incurred in respect of scientific research and experimental development,
that was carried on outside Canada,
that was directly undertaken by the taxpayer,
that related to a business of the taxpayer, and
that was solely in support of scientific research and experimental development carried on in Canada by the taxpayer, and
the amount that is 10 per cent of the total of all expenditures, made by the taxpayer in the year, each of which would, if this Act were read without reference to subsection (1.4), be an expenditure made in respect of an expense incurred in the year for salary or wages paid to an employee in respect of scientific research and experimental development that was carried on in Canada, that was directly undertaken by the taxpayer and that related to a business of the taxpayer.
In computing the income of a taxpayer for a taxation year from a business of the taxpayer, there may be deducted expenditures of a current nature made by the taxpayer in the year
on scientific research and experimental development carried on outside Canada, directly undertaken by or on behalf of the taxpayer, and related to the business (except to the extent that subsection (1.4) deems the expenditures to have been made in Canada); or
by payments to an approved association, university, college, research institute or other similar institution to be used for scientific research and experimental development carried on outside Canada related to the business provided that the taxpayer is entitled to exploit the results of that scientific research and experimental development.
The Minister may obtain the advice of the Department of Industry, the National Research Council of Canada, the Defence Research Board or any other agency or department of the Government of Canada carrying on activities in the field of scientific research as to whether any particular activity constitutes scientific research and experimental development.
No deduction may be made under this section in respect of an expenditure made to acquire rights in, or arising out of, scientific research and experimental development.
Where, in respect of an expenditure on scientific research and experimental development made by a taxpayer in a taxation year, an amount is otherwise deductible under this section and under section 110.1 or 118.1, no deduction may be made in respect of the expenditure under section 110.1 or 118.1 in computing the taxable income of, or the tax payable by, the taxpayer for any taxation year.
For the purposes of section 13, an amount claimed under subsection (1) that may reasonably be considered to be in respect of a property described in paragraph (1)(b), as that paragraph read in its application in respect of the property, is deemed to be an amount allowed to the taxpayer in respect of the property under regulations made under paragraph 20(1)(a), and for that purpose the property is deemed to be of a separate prescribed class.
If a taxpayer was, at any time (in this subsection referred to as “that time”) before the end of a taxation year of the taxpayer, last subject to a loss restriction event, the amount determined for the purposes of paragraph (1)(h) for the year with respect to the taxpayer in respect of a business is the amount, if any, by which
the amount, if any, by which
the total of all amounts each of which is exceeds the total of all amounts each of which is
an expenditure described in paragraph (1)(a) or (c) that was made by the taxpayer before that time,
the lesser of the amounts determined immediately before that time in respect of the taxpayer under subparagraphs (1)(b)(i) and (ii), as those paragraphs read on March 29, 2012, in respect of expenditures made, and property acquired, by the taxpayer before 2014, or
an amount determined in respect of the taxpayer under paragraph (1)(c.1) for its taxation year that ended immediately before that time
the total of all amounts determined in respect of the taxpayer under paragraphs (1)(d) to (g) for its taxation year that ended immediately before that time, or
the amount deducted under subsection (1) in computing the taxpayer’s income for its taxation year that ended immediately before that time
the total of
if the business to which the amounts described in any of clauses (a)(i)(A) to (C) can reasonably be considered to have been related was carried on by the taxpayer for profit or with a reasonable expectation of profit throughout the year, the total of
the taxpayer’s income for the year from the business before making any deduction under subsection (1), and
if properties were sold, leased, rented or developed, or services were rendered, in the course of carrying on the business before that time, the taxpayer’s income for the year, before making any deduction under subsection (1), from any other business substantially all the income of which was derived from the sale, leasing, rental or development, as the case may be, of similar properties or the rendering of similar services, and
the total of all amounts each of which is an amount determined in respect of a preceding taxation year of the taxpayer that ended after that time equal to the lesser of
the amount determined under subparagraph (i) with respect to the taxpayer in respect of the business for that preceding year, and
the amount in respect of the business deducted under subsection (1) in computing the taxpayer’s income for that preceding year.

In this section,
references to expenditures on or in respect of scientific research and experimental development
where the references occur in subsection 37(2), include only
expenditures each of which was an expenditure incurred for and all or substantially all of which was attributable to the prosecution of scientific research and experimental development, and
expenditures of a current nature that were directly attributable, as determined by regulation, to the prosecution of scientific research and experimental development, and
where the references occur other than in subsection 37(2), include only
expenditures incurred by a taxpayer in a taxation year (other than a taxation year for which the taxpayer has elected under clause (B)), each of which is
an expenditure of a current nature all or substantially all of which was attributable to the prosecution, or to the provision of premises, facilities or equipment for the prosecution, of scientific research and experimental development in Canada, or
an expenditure of a current nature directly attributable, as determined by regulation, to the prosecution, or to the provision of premises, facilities or equipment for the prosecution, of scientific research and experimental development in Canada, and
[Repealed, 2012, c. 31, s. 9]
where a taxpayer has elected in prescribed form and in accordance with subsection 37(10) for a taxation year, expenditures incurred by the taxpayer in the year each of which is
[Repealed, 2012, c. 31, s. 9]
an expenditure of a current nature in respect of the prosecution of scientific research and experimental development in Canada directly undertaken on behalf of the taxpayer,
[Repealed, 2012, c. 31, s. 9]
that portion of an expenditure made in respect of an expense incurred in the year for salary or wages of an employee who is directly engaged in scientific research and experimental development in Canada that can reasonably be considered to relate to such work having regard to the time spent by the employee thereon, and, for this purpose, where that portion is all or substantially all of the expenditure, that portion shall be deemed to be the amount of the expenditure, or
the cost of materials consumed or transformed in the prosecution of scientific research and experimental development in Canada, or
[Repealed, 2012, c. 31, s. 9]
for greater certainty, references to scientific research and experimental development related to a business include any scientific research and experimental development that may lead to or facilitate an extension of that business;
except in the case of a taxpayer who derives all or substantially all of the taxpayer’s revenue from the prosecution of scientific research and experimental development (including the sale of rights arising out of scientific research and experimental development carried on by the taxpayer), the prosecution of scientific research and experimental development shall not be considered to be a business of the taxpayer to which scientific research and experimental development is related; and
references to expenditures of a current nature include any expenditure made by a taxpayer other than an expenditure made by the taxpayer for
the acquisition from a person or partnership of a property that is a capital property of the taxpayer, or
the use of, or the right to use, property that would be capital property of the taxpayer if it were owned by the taxpayer.
An expenditure of a taxpayer
does not include, for the purposes of clauses (8)(a)(ii)(A) and (B), remuneration based on profits or a bonus, where the remuneration or bonus, as the case may be, is in respect of a specified employee of the taxpayer, and
includes, for the purpose of paragraph (1.5)(a), an amount paid in respect of an expense incurred for salary or wages paid to an employee only if the taxpayer reasonably believes that the salary or wages is not subject to an income or profits tax imposed, because of the employee’s presence or activity in a country other than Canada, by a government of that other country.
For the purposes of clauses (8)(a)(ii)(A) and (B), expenditures incurred by a taxpayer in a taxation year do not include expenses incurred in the year in respect of salary or wages of a specified employee of the taxpayer to the extent that those expenses exceed the amount determined by the formula A × B/365 where A is 5 times the Year’s Maximum Pensionable Earnings (as determined under section 18 of the Canada Pension Plan) for the calendar year in which the taxation year ends; and B is the number of days in the taxation year on which the employee is a specified employee of the taxpayer.
Where
in a taxation year of a corporation that ends in a calendar year, the corporation employs an individual who is a specified employee of the corporation,
the corporation is associated with another corporation (in this subsection and subsection 37(9.3) referred to as the “associated corporation”) in a taxation year of the associated corporation that ends in the calendar year, and
the individual is a specified employee of the associated corporation in the taxation year of the associated corporation that ends in the calendar year,
Where all of the members of a group of associated corporations of which an individual is a specified employee file, in respect of their taxation years that end in a particular calendar year, an agreement with the Minister in which they allocate an amount in respect of the individual to one or more of them for those years and the amount so allocated or the total of the amounts so allocated, as the case may be, does not exceed the amount determined by the formula A × B/365 where A is 5 times the Year’s Maximum Pensionable Earnings (as determined under section 18 of the Canada Pension Plan) for the particular calendar year, and B is the lesser of 365 and the number of days in those taxation years on which the individual was a specified employee of one or more of the corporations,
An agreement referred to in subsection 37(9.3) is deemed not to have been filed by a taxpayer unless
it is in prescribed form; and
where the taxpayer is a corporation, it is accompanied by
where its directors are legally entitled to administer its affairs, a certified copy of their resolution authorizing the agreement to be made, and
where its directors are not legally entitled to administer its affairs, a certified copy of the document by which the person legally entitled to administer its affairs authorized the agreement to be made.
For the purposes of subsections 37(9.2) and 37(9.3) and this subsection, each
individual related to a particular corporation,
partnership of which a majority-interest partner is
an individual related to a particular corporation, or
a corporation associated with a particular corporation, and
limited partnership of which a member whose liability as a member is not limited is
an individual related to a particular corporation, or
a corporation associated with a particular corporation,
Any election made under clause (8)(a)(ii)(B) for a taxation year by a taxpayer shall be filed by the taxpayer on the day on which the taxpayer first files a prescribed form referred to in subsection 37(11) for the year.
Subject to subsection 37(12), no amount in respect of an expenditure that would be incurred by a taxpayer in a taxation year that begins after 1995 if this Act were read without reference to subsection 78(4) may be deducted under subsection 37(1) unless the taxpayer files with the Minister a prescribed form containing prescribed information in respect of the expenditure on or before the day that is 12 months after the taxpayer’s filing-due date for the year.
If a taxpayer has not filed a prescribed form in respect of an expenditure in accordance with subsection 37(11), for the purposes of this Act, the expenditure is deemed not to be an expenditure on or in respect of scientific research and experimental development.
For the purposes of this section and sections 127 and 127.1, where
work is performed by a taxpayer for a person or partnership at a time when the person or partnership does not deal at arm’s length with the taxpayer, and
the work would be scientific research and experimental development if it were performed by the person or partnership,
For the purposes of subparagraphs (1)(a)(i.01) to (iii), the amount of a particular expenditure made by a taxpayer shall be reduced by the amount of any related expenditure of the person or partnership to whom the particular expenditure is made that is not an expenditure of a current nature of the person or partnership.
If an expenditure is required to be reduced because of subsection (14), the person or the partnership referred to in that subsection is required to inform the taxpayer in writing of the amount of the reduction without delay if requested by the taxpayer and in any other case no later than 90 days after the end of the calendar year in which the expenditure was made.

For the purposes of this Act,
subject to paragraphs (a.1) to (a.3), a taxpayer’s taxable capital gain for a taxation year from the disposition of any property is ½ of the taxpayer’s capital gain for the year from the disposition of the property;
a taxpayer’s taxable capital gain for a taxation year from the disposition of a property is equal to zero if
the disposition is the making of a gift to a qualified donee of a share, debt obligation or right listed on a designated stock exchange, a share of the capital stock of a mutual fund corporation, a unit of a mutual fund trust, an interest in a related segregated fund trust (within the meaning assigned by paragraph 138.1(1)(a)) or a prescribed debt obligation,
the disposition is deemed by section 70 to have occurred and the taxpayer is deemed by subsection 118.1(5) to have made a gift described in subparagraph (i) of the property, or
the disposition is the exchange, for a security described in subparagraph (i), of a share of the capital stock of a corporation, which share included, at the time it was issued and at the time of the disposition, a condition allowing the holder to exchange it for the security, and the taxpayer
receives no consideration on the exchange other than the security, and
makes a gift of the security to a qualified donee not more than 30 days after the exchange;
a taxpayer’s taxable capital gain for a taxation year from the disposition of a property is equal to zero if
the disposition is the making of a gift to a qualified donee (other than a private foundation) of a property described, in respect of the taxpayer, in paragraph 110.1(1)(d) or in the definition total ecological gifts in subsection 118.1(1), or
the disposition is deemed by section 70 to have occurred and the taxpayer is deemed by subsection 118.1(5) to have made a gift described in subparagraph (i) of the property;
a taxpayer’s taxable capital gain for a taxation year, from the disposition of an interest in a partnership (other than a prescribed interest in a partnership) that would be an exchange described in subparagraph (a.1)(iii) if the interest were a share in the capital stock of a corporation, is equal to the lesser of
that taxable capital gain determined without reference to this paragraph, and
½ of the amount, if any, by which exceeds
the total of
the cost to the taxpayer of the partnership interest, and
each amount required by subparagraph 53(1)(e)(iv) or (x) to be added in determining the taxpayer’s adjusted cost base of the partnership interest,
the adjusted cost base to the taxpayer of the partnership interest (determined without reference to subparagraphs 53(2)(c)(iv) and (v));
a taxpayer’s allowable capital loss for a taxation year from the disposition of any property is 1/2 of the taxpayer’s capital loss for the year from the disposition of that property; and
a taxpayer’s allowable business investment loss for a taxation year from the disposition of any property is 1/2 of the taxpayer’s business investment loss for the year from the disposition of that property.
If a taxpayer acquires a property (in this section referred to as the “acquired property”) that is included in a flow-through share class of property in the course of a transaction or series of transactions to which any of section 51, subsections 73(1), 85(1) and (2) and 85.1(1), sections 86 and 87 and subsections 88(1) and 98(3) apply
if the transfer of the acquired property is part of a gifting arrangement (within the meaning assigned by section 237.1) or of a transaction or series of transactions to which subsection 98(3) applies, or the transferor is a person with whom the taxpayer was, at the time of the acquisition, not dealing at arm’s length, there shall be added, at the time of the transfer, to the taxpayer’s exemption threshold in respect of the flow-through share class of property, and deducted from the transferor’s exemption threshold in respect of the flow-through share class of property, the amount determined by the formula A × B where A is the amount by which the transferor’s exemption threshold in respect of the flow-through share class of property immediately before that time exceeds the capital gain, if any, of the transferor as a result of the transfer, and B is the proportion that the fair market value of the acquired property immediately before the transfer is of the fair market value of all property of the transferor immediately before the transfer that is included in the flow-through share class of property; and
if the transferor receives particular shares of the capital stock of the taxpayer as consideration for the acquired property and those particular shares are listed on a designated stock exchange or are shares of a mutual fund corporation, then for the purposes of this section and subsection 40(12)
the particular shares are deemed to be flow-through shares of the transferor, and
there shall be added to the transferor’s exemption threshold in respect of the flow-through share class of property that includes the particular shares the amount that is determined under paragraph (a) or that would be so determined if paragraph (a) applied to the taxpayer.
If a taxpayer is entitled to an amount of an advantage in respect of a gift of property described in paragraph 38(a.1) or (a.2),
those paragraphs apply only to that proportion of the taxpayer’s capital gain in respect of the gift that the eligible amount of the gift is of the taxpayer’s proceeds of disposition in respect of the gift; and
paragraph 38(a) applies to the extent that the taxpayer’s capital gain in respect of the gift exceeds the amount of the capital gain to which paragraph 38(a.1) or (a.2) applies.

If, because of any fluctuation after 1971 in the value of one or more currencies other than Canadian currency relative to Canadian currency, an individual (other than a trust) has made one or more particular gains or sustained one or more particular losses in a taxation year from dispositions of currency other than Canadian currency and the particular gains or losses would, in the absence of this subsection, be capital gains or losses described under subsection (1)
subsection (1) does not apply to any of the particular gains or losses;
the amount determined by the following formula is deemed to be a capital gain of the individual for the year from the disposition of currency other than Canadian currency: A – (B + C) where A is the total of all the particular gains made by the individual in the year, B is the total of all the particular losses sustained by the individual in the year, and C is $200; and
the amount determined by the following formula is deemed to be a capital loss of the individual for the year from the disposition of currency other than Canadian currency: D – (E + F) where D is the total of all the particular losses sustained by the individual in the year, E is the total of all the particular gains made by the individual in the year, and F is $200.
If, because of any fluctuation after 1971 in the value of a currency other than Canadian currency relative to Canadian currency, a taxpayer has made a gain or sustained a loss in a taxation year (other than a gain or loss that would, in the absence of this subsection, be a capital gain or capital loss to which subsection (1) or (1.1) applies, or a gain or loss in respect of a transaction or event in respect of shares of the capital stock of the taxpayer)
the amount of the gain (to the extent of the amount of that gain that would not, if section 3 were read in the manner described in paragraph (1)(a), be included in computing the taxpayer’s income for the year or any other taxation year), if any, is deemed to be a capital gain of the taxpayer for the year from the disposition of currency other than Canadian currency; and
the amount of the loss (to the extent of the amount of that loss that would not, if section 3 were read in the manner described in paragraph (1)(a), be deductible in computing the taxpayer’s income for the year or any other taxation year), if any, is deemed to be a capital loss of the taxpayer for the year from the disposition of currency other than Canadian currency.
If at any time a corporation resident in Canada or a partnership of which such a corporation is a member (such corporation or partnership referred to in this subsection as the “borrowing party”) has received a loan from, or become indebted to, a creditor that is a foreign affiliate (referred to in this subsection as a “creditor affiliate”) of the borrowing party or that is a partnership (referred to in this subsection as a “creditor partnership”) of which such an affiliate is a member, the loan or indebtedness is at a later time repaid, in whole or in part, and the amount of the borrowing party’s capital gain or capital loss determined, in the absence of this subsection, under subsection (2) in respect of the repayment is equal to the amount of the creditor affiliate’s or creditor partnership’s capital loss or capital gain, as the case may be, determined, in the absence of paragraph 95(2)(g.04), in respect of the repayment, then the borrowing party’s capital gain or capital loss so determined is to be reduced
in the case of a capital gain
if the creditor is a creditor affiliate, by an amount, not exceeding that capital gain, that is equal to twice the amount that would — in the absence of paragraph 95(2)(g.04) and on the assumption that the creditor affiliate’s capital loss in respect of the repayment of the loan or indebtedness were a capital gain of the creditor affiliate, the creditor affiliate had no other income, loss, capital gain or capital loss for any taxation year, and no other foreign affiliate of the borrowing party had any income, loss, capital gain or capital loss for any taxation year — be included in computing the borrowing party’s income under subsection 91(1) for its taxation year that includes the last day of the taxation year of the creditor affiliate that includes the later time, or
if the creditor is a creditor partnership, by an amount, not exceeding that capital gain, that is equal to twice the amount that is the total of each amount, determined in respect of a particular member of the creditor partnership that is a foreign affiliate of the borrowing party, that would — in the absence of paragraph 95(2)(g.04) and on the assumption that the creditor partnership’s capital loss in respect of the repayment of the loan or indebtedness were a capital gain of the creditor partnership, the particular member had no other income, loss, capital gain or capital loss for any taxation year, and no other foreign affiliate of the borrowing party had any income, loss, capital gain or capital loss for any taxation year — be included in computing the borrowing party’s income under subsection 91(1) for its taxation year that includes the last day of the taxation year of the particular member that includes the last day of the creditor partnership’s fiscal period that includes the later time, and

a superficial loss,
a loss from the disposition of a debt or other right to receive an amount, unless the debt or right, as the case may be, was acquired by the taxpayer for the purpose of gaining or producing income from a business or property (other than exempt income) or as consideration for the disposition of capital property to a person with whom the taxpayer was dealing at arm’s length,
a loss from the disposition of any personal-use property of the taxpayer (other than listed personal property or a debt referred to in subsection 50(2)), or

where the taxpayer is a corporation, its loss otherwise determined from the disposition at any time in a taxation year of shares of the capital stock of a corporation (in this paragraph referred to as the “controlled corporation”) that was controlled, directly or indirectly in any manner whatever, by it at any time in the year, is its loss therefrom otherwise determined less the amount, if any, by which
all amounts added under paragraph 53(1)(f.1) to the cost to a corporation, other than the controlled corporation, of property disposed of to that corporation by the controlled corporation that were added to the cost of the property during the period while the controlled corporation was controlled by the taxpayer and that can reasonably be attributed to losses on the property that accrued during the period while the controlled corporation was controlled by the taxpayer,
all amounts by which losses have been reduced by virtue of this paragraph in respect of dispositions before that time of shares of the capital stock of the controlled corporation; and
where at a particular time a taxpayer has disposed of a share of the capital stock of a corporation that was at any time a prescribed venture capital corporation or a prescribed labour-sponsored venture capital corporation or a share of the capital stock of a taxable Canadian corporation that was held in a prescribed stock savings plan or of a property substituted for such a share, the taxpayer’s loss from the disposition thereof shall be deemed to be the amount, if any, by which
the loss otherwise determined
the amount, if any, by which exceeds
the amount of prescribed assistance that the taxpayer (or a person with whom the taxpayer was not dealing at arm’s length) received or is entitled to receive in respect of the share
the total of all amounts determined under subparagraph 40(2)(i)(i) in respect of any disposition of the share or of the property substituted for the share before the particular time by the taxpayer or by a person with whom the taxpayer was not dealing at arm’s length.

the total of
the cost to the taxpayer of the property determined for the purpose of computing the adjusted cost base to the taxpayer of that property at that time, and
all amounts required by subsection 53(1) to be added to the cost to the taxpayer of the property in computing the adjusted cost base to the taxpayer of that property at that time,
subject to paragraph 93(1)(b), the amount of the excess is deemed to be a gain of the taxpayer for the year from a disposition at that time of the property,
for the purposes of section 93, the property is deemed to have been disposed of by the taxpayer at that time, and
for the purposes of section 110.6, the property is deemed to have been disposed of by the taxpayer in the year.
Where, at the end of a fiscal period of a partnership, a member of the partnership is a limited partner of the partnership, or is a member of the partnership who was a specified member of the partnership at all times since becoming a member, except where the member’s partnership interest was held by the member on February 22, 1994 and is an excluded interest at the end of the fiscal period,
the amount determined under subsection 40(3.11) is deemed to be a gain from the disposition, at the end of the fiscal period, of the member’s interest in the partnership; and
for the purpose of section 110.6, the interest is deemed to have been disposed of by the member at that time.
For the purpose of subsection 40(3.1), the amount determined at any time under this subsection in respect of a member’s interest in a partnership is the amount determined by the formula A - B where A is the total of all amounts required by subsection 53(2) to be deducted in computing the adjusted cost base to the member of the interest in the partnership at that time, and if the member is a member of a professional partnership, and that time is the end of the fiscal period of the partnership, the amount referred to in subparagraph 53(2)(c)(i) in respect of the taxpayer for that fiscal period; and B is the total of the cost to the member of the interest determined for the purpose of computing the adjusted cost base to the member of the interest at that time, all amounts required by subsection 53(1) to be added to the cost to the member of the interest in computing the adjusted cost base to the member of the interest at that time, and if the member is a member of a professional partnership, and that time is the end of the fiscal period of the partnership, the amount referred to in subparagraph 53(1)(e)(i) in respect of the taxpayer for that fiscal period.
In this section, professional partnership means a partnership through which one or more persons carry on the practice of a profession that is governed or regulated under a law of Canada or a province.
Where a corporation, an individual (other than a trust) or a testamentary trust (each of which is referred to in this subsection as the “taxpayer”) is a member of a partnership at the end of a fiscal period of the partnership, the taxpayer shall be deemed to have a loss from the disposition at that time of the member’s interest in the partnership equal to the amount that the taxpayer elects in the taxpayer’s return of income under this Part for the taxation year that includes that time, not exceeding the lesser of
the amount, if any, by which
the total of all amounts each of which was an amount deemed by subsection 40(3.1) to be a gain of the taxpayer from a disposition of the interest before that time
the total of all amounts each of which was an amount deemed by this subsection to be a loss of the taxpayer from a disposition of the interest before that time, and
the adjusted cost base to the taxpayer of the interest at that time.
For the purpose of applying section 53 at any time to a member of a partnership who would be a member described in subsection (3.1) of the partnership if the fiscal period of the partnership that includes that time ended at that time, where at any time after February 21, 1994 the member of the partnership makes a contribution of capital to the partnership and
the partnership or a person or partnership with whom the partnership does not deal at arm’s length
makes a loan to the member or to a person with whom the member does not deal at arm’s length, or
pays an amount as, on account of, in lieu of payment of or in satisfaction of, a distribution of the member’s share of the partnership profits or partnership capital, or
the member or a person with whom the member does not deal at arm’s length becomes indebted to the partnership or a person or partnership with whom the partnership does not deal at arm’s length,
Where it can reasonably be considered that one of the main reasons that a member of a partnership was not a specified member of the partnership at all times since becoming a member of the partnership is to avoid the application of subsection 40(3.1) to the member’s interest in the partnership, the member is deemed for the purpose of that subsection to have been a specified member of the partnership at all times since becoming a member of the partnership.
For the purpose of subsection 40(3.1), a member of a partnership at a particular time is a limited partner of the partnership at that time if, at that time or within 3 years after that time,
by operation of any law governing the partnership arrangement, the liability of the member as a member of the partnership is limited (except by operation of a provision of a statute of Canada or a province that limits the member’s liability only for debts, obligations and liabilities of the partnership, or any member of the partnership, arising from negligent acts or omissions, from misconduct or from fault of another member of the partnership or an employee, an agent or a representative of the partnership in the course of the partnership business while the partnership is a limited liability partnership);
the member or a person not dealing at arm’s length with the member is entitled, either immediately or in the future and either absolutely or contingently, to receive an amount or to obtain a benefit that would be described in paragraph 96(2.2)(d) if that paragraph were read without reference to subparagraphs 40(3.14)(b)(ii) and 40(3.14)(b)(vi);
one of the reasons for the existence of the member who owns the interest
can reasonably be considered to be to limit the liability of any person with respect to that interest, and
cannot reasonably be considered to be to permit any person who has an interest in the member to carry on the person’s business (other than an investment business) in the most effective manner; or
there is an agreement or other arrangement for the disposition of an interest in the partnership and one of the main reasons for the agreement or arrangement can reasonably be considered to be to attempt to avoid the application of this subsection to the member.
For the purpose of subsection 40(3.1), an excluded interest in a partnership at any time means an interest in a partnership that actively carries on a business that was carried on by it throughout the period beginning February 22, 1994 and ending at that time, or that earns income from a property that was owned by it throughout that period, unless in that period there was a substantial contribution of capital to the partnership or a substantial increase in the indebtedness of the partnership.
For the purpose of subsection 40(3.15), an amount will be considered not to be substantial where
the amount
was raised pursuant to the terms of a written agreement entered into by a partnership before February 22, 1994 to issue an interest in the partnership and was expended on expenditures contemplated by the agreement before 1995 (or before March 2, 1995 in the case of amounts expended to acquire a film production prescribed for the purpose of subparagraph 96(2.2)(d)(ii) the principal photography of which or, in the case of such a production that is a television series, one episode of the series, commences before 1995 and the production is completed before March 2, 1995, or an interest in one or more partnerships all or substantially all of the property of which is such a film production),

was used by the partnership before 1995 (or before March 2, 1995 in the case of amounts expended to acquire a film production prescribed for the purpose of subparagraph 96(2.2)(d)(ii) the principal photography of which or, in the case of such a production that is a television series, one episode of the series, commences before 1995 and the production is completed before March 2, 1995, or an interest in one or more partnerships all or substantially all of the property of which is such a film production) to make an expenditure required to be made pursuant to the terms of a written agreement entered into by the partnership before February 22, 1994, or
was used to repay a loan, debt or contribution of capital that had been received or incurred in respect of any such expenditure;
the amount was raised before 1995 pursuant to the terms of a prospectus, preliminary prospectus, offering memorandum or registration statement filed before February 22, 1994 with a public authority in Canada pursuant to and in accordance with the securities legislation of Canada or of a province and, where required by law, accepted for filing by the public authority, and expended before 1995 (or before March 2, 1995 in the case of amounts expended to acquire a film production prescribed for the purpose of subparagraph 96(2.2)(d)(ii), or an interest in one or more partnerships all or substantially all of the property of which is such a film production) on expenditures contemplated by the document that was filed before February 22, 1994;

the memorandum was distributed before February 22, 1994,
solicitations in respect of the sale of the securities contemplated by the memorandum were made before February 22, 1994,
the sale of the securities was substantially in accordance with the memorandum, and
the funds are expended in accordance with the memorandum before 1995 (except that the funds may be expended before March 2, 1995 in the case of a partnership all or substantially all of the property of which is a film production prescribed for the purpose of subparagraph 96(2.2)(d)(ii) the principal photography of which or, in the case of such a production that is a television series, one episode of the series, commences before 1995 and the production is completed before March 2, 1995, or an interest in one or more partnerships all or substantially all of the property of which is such a film production); or
the amount was used for an activity that was carried on by the partnership on February 22, 1994 but not for a significant expansion of the activity nor for the acquisition or production of a film production.
For the purpose of subsection 40(3.15), a partnership in respect of which paragraph 40(3.16)(a), 40(3.16)(b) or 40(3.16)(c) applies shall be considered to have actively carried on the business, or earned income from the property, contemplated in the document referred to in that paragraph throughout the period beginning February 22, 1994 and ending on the earlier of the closing date, if any, stipulated in the document and January 1, 1995.
For the purpose of subsection 40(3.1), a member of a partnership who acquired an interest in the partnership after February 22, 1994 shall be deemed to have held the interest on February 22, 1994 where the member acquired the interest

before 1995 pursuant to a document referred to in subparagraph 40(3.16)(a)(i) or paragraph 40(3.16)(b) or 40(3.16)(c).
Subsection 40(3) does not apply in any case where subsection 40(3.1) applies.
Subsection 40(3.1) does not apply in any case where paragraph 98(1)(c) or 98.1(1)(c) applies.
If, in respect of a taxation year, a taxpayer has made an election under subsection 180.01(1), the amount deemed to be a capital gain under paragraph 180.01(2)(b) is deemed to be a gain from the disposition of property for the taxation year.
Subsection 40(3.4) applies when
a corporation, trust or partnership (in this subsection and subsection (3.4) referred to as the “transferor”) disposes of a particular capital property — other than depreciable property of a prescribed class and other than, for the purposes of computing the exempt surplus or exempt deficit, hybrid surplus or hybrid deficit, and taxable surplus or taxable deficit of a foreign affiliate of a taxpayer, in respect of the taxpayer, where the transferor is the affiliate or is a partnership of which the affiliate is a member, property that is, or would be, if the transferor were a foreign affiliate of the taxpayer, excluded property (within the meaning assigned by subsection 95(1)) of the transferor — otherwise than in a disposition described in any of paragraphs (c) to (g) of the definition superficial loss in section 54;

at the end of the period, the transferor or a person affiliated with the transferor owns the substituted property.
If this subsection applies because of subsection 40(3.3) to a disposition of a particular property,
the transferor’s loss, if any, from the disposition is deemed to be nil, and
the amount of the transferor’s loss, if any, from the disposition (determined without reference to paragraph 40(2)(g) and this subsection) is deemed to be a loss of the transferor from a disposition of the particular property at the time that is immediately before the first time, after the disposition,
at which a 30-day period begins throughout which neither the transferor nor a person affiliated with the transferor owns
the substituted property, or
a property that is identical to the substituted property and that was acquired after the day that is 31 days before the period begins,
at which the property would, if it were owned by the transferor, be deemed by section 128.1 or subsection 149(10) to have been disposed of by the transferor,

If this subsection applies, the new gain is the positive amount, or the new loss is the negative amount, as the case may be, determined by the formula A + B – C where A is if the taxpayer would, but for any application of subsection 111(12), recognize a new gain, the amount of the new gain, determined without reference to this subsection, or if the taxpayer would, but for any application of subsection 111(12), recognize a new loss, the amount of the new loss, determined without reference to this subsection, multiplied by (–1); B is the total of all amounts each of which is that portion of the amount of a capital loss realized by the taxpayer at any time before the particular time, in respect of the foreign currency debt and because of subsection 111(12), that is reasonably attributable to the relevant part of the foreign currency debt at the particular time, or the forgiven amount, if any, (as defined in subsection 80(1)) in respect of the foreign currency debt at the particular time; and C is the total of all amounts each of which is that portion of the amount of a gain realized by the taxpayer at any time before the particular time, in respect of the foreign currency debt and because of subsection 111(12), that is reasonably attributable to the relevant part of the foreign currency debt at the particular time, or the forgiven amount, if any, (as defined in subsection 80(1)) in respect of the foreign currency debt at the particular time.
If at any time a taxpayer disposes of one or more capital properties that are included in a flow-through share class of property and subparagraph 38(a.1)(i) or (iii) applies to the disposition (in this subsection referred to as the “actual disposition”), then the taxpayer is deemed to have a capital gain from a disposition at that time of another capital property equal to the lesser of
the taxpayer’s exemption threshold at that time in respect of the flow-through share class of property, and
the total of all amounts each of which is a capital gain from the actual disposition (for greater certainty, calculated without reference to this subsection).
For the purposes of this Part, a taxpayer’s taxable net gain for a taxation year from dispositions of listed personal property is 1/2 of the amount determined under subsection 41(2) to be the taxpayer’s net gain for the year from dispositions of such property.
A taxpayer’s net gain for a taxation year from dispositions of listed personal property is an amount determined as follows:
determine the amount, if any, by which the total of the taxpayer’s gains for the year from the disposition of listed personal property, other than property described in subparagraph 39(1)(a)(i.1), exceeds the total of the taxpayer’s losses for the year from dispositions of listed personal property, and
deduct from the amount determined under paragraph 41(2)(a) such portion as the taxpayer may claim of the taxpayer’s listed-personal-property losses for the 7 taxation years immediately preceding and the 3 taxation years immediately following the taxation year, except that for the purposes of this paragraph
an amount in respect of a listed-personal-property loss is deductible for a taxation year only to the extent that it exceeds the total of amounts deducted under this paragraph in respect of that loss for preceding taxation years,
no amount is deductible in respect of the listed-personal-property loss of any year until the deductible listed-personal-property losses for previous years have been deducted, and
no amount is deductible in respect of listed-personal-property losses from the amount determined under paragraph 41(2)(a) for a taxation year except to the extent of the amount so determined for the year,
and the remainder determined under paragraph 41(2)(b) is the taxpayer’s net gain for the year from dispositions of listed personal property.
In this section, listed-personal-property loss of a taxpayer for a taxation year means the amount, if any, by which the total of the taxpayer’s losses for the year from dispositions of listed personal property exceeds the total of the taxpayer’s gains for the year from dispositions of listed personal property, other than property described in subparagraph 39(1)(a)(i.1).
For the purposes of this Subdivision,
an amount received or receivable by a person or partnership (referred to in this subsection as the “vendor”), as the case may be, as consideration for a warranty, covenant or other conditional or contingent obligation given or incurred by the vendor in respect of a property (referred to in this section as the “subject property”) disposed of by the vendor,
if it is received or receivable on or before the specified date, is deemed to be received as consideration for the disposition by the vendor of the subject property (and not to be an amount received or receivable by the vendor as consideration for the obligation) and is to be included in computing the vendor’s proceeds of disposition of the subject property for the taxation year or fiscal period in which the disposition occurred, and
in any other case, is deemed to be a capital gain of the vendor from the disposition of a property by the vendor that occurs at the earlier of the time when the amount is received or becomes receivable; and
an outlay or expense paid or payable by the vendor under a warranty, covenant or other conditional or contingent obligation given or incurred by the vendor in respect of the subject property disposed of by the vendor,
if it is paid or payable on or before the specified date, is deemed to reduce the consideration for the disposition by the vendor of the subject property (and not to be an outlay or expense paid or payable by the vendor under the obligation) and is to be deducted in computing the vendor’s proceeds of disposition of the subject property for the taxation year or fiscal period in which the disposition occurred, and
in any other case, is deemed to be a capital loss of the vendor from the disposition of a property by the vendor that occurs at the earlier of the time when the outlay or expense is paid or becomes payable.
In subsection (1), specified date means,
if the vendor is a partnership, the last day of the vendor’s fiscal period in which the vendor disposed of the subject property; and
in any other case, the vendor’s filing-due date for the vendor’s taxation year in which the vendor disposed of the subject property.
For the purpose of computing a taxpayer’s gain or loss for a taxation year from the disposition of part of a property, the adjusted cost base to the taxpayer, immediately before the disposition, of that part is the portion of the adjusted cost base to the taxpayer at that time of the whole property that can reasonably be regarded as attributable to that part.
For the purposes of subsection (1) and section 53, if at any time a taxpayer disposes of a covenant or an easement to which land is subject or, in the case of land in the Province of Quebec, a real servitude, in circumstances where subsection 110.1(5) or 118.1(12) applies,
the portion of the adjusted cost base to the taxpayer of the land immediately before the disposition that can reasonably be regarded as attributable to the covenant, easement or real servitude, as the case may be, is deemed to be equal to the amount determined by the formula A × B/C where A is the adjusted cost base to the taxpayer of the land immediately before the disposition, B is the amount determined under subsection 110.1(5) or 118.1(12) in respect of the disposition, and C is the fair market value of the land immediately before the disposition; and
for greater certainty, the cost to the taxpayer of the land shall be reduced at the time of the disposition by the amount determined under paragraph (a).
Notwithstanding subsection (1), where part of a capital interest of a taxpayer in a trust would, but for paragraph (h) or (i) of the definition disposition in subsection 248(1), be disposed of solely because of the satisfaction of a right to enforce payment of an amount by the trust, no part of the adjusted cost base to the taxpayer of the taxpayer’s capital interest in the trust shall be allocated to that part of the capital interest.
Notwithstanding any other provision of this Act, if at any time a taxpayer disposes of a remainder interest in real property (except as a result of a transaction to which subsection 73(3) would otherwise apply or by way of a gift to a qualified donee) to a person or partnership and retains a life estate or an estate pur autre vie (in this section referred to as the “life estate”) in the property, the taxpayer is deemed
to have disposed at that time of the life estate in the property for proceeds of disposition equal to its fair market value at that time; and
to have reacquired the life estate immediately after that time at a cost equal to the proceeds of disposition referred to in paragraph 43.1(1)(a).
Where, as a result of an individual’s death, a life estate to which subsection 43.1(1) applied is terminated,
the holder of the life estate immediately before the death shall be deemed to have disposed of the life estate immediately before the death for proceeds of disposition equal to the adjusted cost base to that person of the life estate immediately before the death; and
where a person who is the holder of the remainder interest in the real property immediately before the death was not dealing at arm’s length with the holder of the life estate, there shall, after the death, be added in computing the adjusted cost base to that person of the real property an amount equal to the lesser of
the adjusted cost base of the life estate in the property immediately before the death, and
the amount, if any, by which the fair market value of the real property immediately after the death exceeds the adjusted cost base to that person of the remainder interest immediately before the death.
Where at any time in a taxation year (in this subsection referred to as the “initial year”) an amount has become receivable by a taxpayer as proceeds of disposition of a capital property that is not a share of the capital stock of a corporation (which capital property is in this section referred to as the taxpayer’s “former property”) that is either
property the proceeds of disposition of which are described in paragraph (b), (c) or (d) of the definition proceeds of disposition in subsection 13(21) or paragraph (b), (c) or (d) of the definition proceeds of disposition in section 54, or
a property that was, immediately before the disposition, a former business property of the taxpayer,
and the taxpayer has
if the former property is described in paragraph (a), before the later of the end of the second taxation year following the initial year and 24 months after the end of the initial year, and
in any other case, before the later of the end of the first taxation year following the initial year and 12 months after the end of the initial year,
acquired a capital property that is a replacement property for the taxpayer’s former property and the replacement property has not been disposed of by the taxpayer before the time the taxpayer disposed of the taxpayer’s former property, notwithstanding subsection 40(1), if the taxpayer so elects under this subsection in the taxpayer’s return of income for the year in which the taxpayer acquired the replacement property,
the gain for a particular taxation year from the disposition of the taxpayer’s former property shall be deemed to be the amount, if any, by which
where the particular year is the initial year, the lesser of
the amount, if any, by which the proceeds of disposition of the former property exceed
in the case of depreciable property, the lesser of the proceeds of disposition of the former property computed without reference to subsection 44(6) and the total of its adjusted cost base to the taxpayer immediately before the disposition and any outlays and expenses to the extent that they were made or incurred by the taxpayer for the purpose of making the disposition, and
in any other case, the total of its adjusted cost base to the taxpayer immediately before the disposition and any outlays and expenses to the extent that they were made or incurred by the taxpayer for the purpose of making the disposition, and
the amount, if any, by which the proceeds of disposition of the former property exceed the total of the cost to the taxpayer, or in the case of depreciable property, the capital cost to the taxpayer, determined without reference to paragraph (f), of the taxpayer’s replacement property and any outlays and expenses to the extent that they were made or incurred by the taxpayer for the purpose of making the disposition, or
where the particular year is subsequent to the initial year, the amount, if any, claimed by the taxpayer under subparagraph 44(1)(e)(iii) in computing the taxpayer’s gain for the immediately preceding year from the disposition of the former property,
exceeds
subject to subsection 44(1.1), such amount as the taxpayer claims, as a deduction, not exceeding the lesser of
in the case of an individual (other than a trust), in prescribed form filed with the taxpayer’s return of income under this Part for the particular year, and
in any other case, in the taxpayer’s return of income under this Part for the particular year,
a reasonable amount as a reserve in respect of such of the proceeds of disposition of the former property that are payable to the taxpayer after the end of the particular year as can reasonably be regarded as a portion of the amount determined under subparagraph 44(1)(e)(i) in respect of the property, and
an amount equal to the product obtained when 1/5 of the amount determined under subparagraph 44(1)(e)(i) in respect of the property is multiplied by the amount, if any, by which 4 exceeds the number of preceding taxation years of the taxpayer ending after the disposition of the property, and
the cost to the taxpayer or, in the case of depreciable property, the capital cost to the taxpayer, of the taxpayer’s replacement property at any time after the time the taxpayer disposed of the taxpayer’s former property, shall be deemed to be
the cost to the taxpayer or, in the case of depreciable property, the capital cost to the taxpayer of the taxpayer’s replacement property otherwise determined,
minus
the amount, if any, by which the amount determined under clause 44(1)(e)(i)(A) exceeds the amount determined under clause 44(1)(e)(i)(B).
In computing the amount that a taxpayer may claim under subparagraph (1)(e)(iii) in computing the taxpayer’s gain from the disposition of a former property of the taxpayer, that subparagraph shall be read as if the references in that subparagraph to “1/5” and “4” were references to “1/10” and “9” respectively if that former property is real or immovable property in respect of the disposition of which, because of subsection 73(3), the rules in subsection 73(3.1) applied to the taxpayer and a child of the taxpayer.
For the purposes of this Act, the time at which a taxpayer has disposed of a property for which there are proceeds of disposition as described in paragraph (b), (c) or (d) of the definition proceeds of disposition in subsection 13(21) or paragraph (b), (c) or (d) of the definition proceeds of disposition in section 54, and the time at which an amount, in respect of those proceeds of disposition has become receivable by the taxpayer shall be deemed to be the earliest of
the day the taxpayer has agreed to an amount as full compensation to the taxpayer for the property lost, destroyed, taken or sold,
where a claim, suit, appeal or other proceeding has been taken before one or more tribunals or courts of competent jurisdiction, the day on which the taxpayer’s compensation for the property is finally determined by those tribunals or courts,
where a claim, suit, appeal or other proceeding referred to in paragraph 44(2)(b) has not been taken before a tribunal or court of competent jurisdiction within two years of the loss, destruction or taking of the property, the day that is two years following the day of the loss, destruction or taking,
the time at which the taxpayer is deemed by section 70 or paragraph 128.1(4)(b) to have disposed of the property, and
where the taxpayer is a corporation other than a subsidiary corporation referred to in subsection 88(1), the time immediately before the winding-up of the corporation,
and the taxpayer shall be deemed to have owned the property continuously until the time so determined.
Subsection 70(3) does not apply to compensation referred to in paragraph (b), (c) or (d) of the definition proceeds of disposition in subsection 13(21) or paragraph (b), (c) or (d) of the definition proceeds of disposition in section 54 that has been transferred or distributed to beneficiaries or other persons beneficially interested in an estate or trust.
Where a former property of a taxpayer was a depreciable property of the taxpayer
if the taxpayer has elected in respect of that property under subsection 44(1), the taxpayer shall be deemed to have elected in respect thereof under subsection 13(4); and
if the taxpayer has elected in respect of that property under subsection 13(4), the taxpayer shall be deemed to have elected in respect thereof under subsection 44(1).
For the purposes of this section, a particular capital property of a taxpayer is a replacement property for a former property of the taxpayer, if
it is reasonable to conclude that the property was acquired by the taxpayer to replace the former property;
it was acquired by the taxpayer and used by the taxpayer or a person related to the taxpayer for a use that is the same as or similar to the use to which the taxpayer or a person related to the taxpayer put the former property;
where the former property was used by the taxpayer or a person related to the taxpayer for the purpose of gaining or producing income from a business, the particular capital property was acquired for the purpose of gaining or producing income from that or a similar business or for use by a person related to the taxpayer for such a purpose;
where the former property was a taxable Canadian property of the taxpayer, the particular capital property is a taxable Canadian property of the taxpayer; and
where the former property was a taxable Canadian property (other than treaty-protected property) of the taxpayer, the particular capital property is a taxable Canadian property (other than treaty-protected property) of the taxpayer.
If a taxpayer has disposed of property that was a former business property and was in part a building and in part the land (or an interest, or for civil law a right, therein) subjacent to, or immediately contiguous to and necessary for the use of, the building, for the purposes of this Subdivision, the amount if any, by which
the proceeds of disposition of one such part determined without regard to this subsection
exceed
the adjusted cost base to the taxpayer of that part
shall, to the extent that the taxpayer so elects in the taxpayer’s return of income under this Part for the year in which the taxpayer acquired a replacement property for the former business property, be deemed not to be proceeds of disposition of that part and to be proceeds of disposition of the other part.
Subparagraph 44(1)(e)(iii) does not apply to permit a taxpayer to claim any amount under that subparagraph in computing a gain for a taxation year where
the taxpayer, at the end of the year or at any time in the immediately following year, was not resident in Canada or was exempt from tax under any provision of this Part;
the person to whom the former property of the taxpayer was disposed of was a corporation that, immediately after the disposition,
was controlled, directly or indirectly in any manner whatever, by the taxpayer,
was controlled, directly or indirectly in any manner whatever, by a person or group of persons by whom the taxpayer was controlled, directly or indirectly in any manner whatever, or
controlled the taxpayer, directly or indirectly in any manner whatever, where the taxpayer is a corporation; or
the former property of the taxpayer was disposed of to a partnership in which the taxpayer was, immediately after the disposition, a majority-interest partner.

the individual’s capital gain for the year from the qualifying disposition is deemed to be the amount by which the individual’s capital gain for the year from the qualifying disposition, determined without reference to this section, exceeds the individual’s permitted deferral in respect of the qualifying disposition;
in computing the adjusted cost base to the individual of a replacement share of the individual in respect of the qualifying disposition at any time after its acquisition, there shall be deducted the amount of the ACB reduction of the individual in respect of the replacement share; and

Except for the purpose of the definition eligible pooling arrangement in subsection (1), any transaction entered into by an investment manager under an eligible pooling arrangement on behalf of an individual is deemed to be a transaction of the individual and not a transaction of the investment manager.
For the purpose of this section, a share of the capital stock of a corporation, acquired by an individual as a consequence of the death of a person who is the individual’s spouse, common-law partner or parent, is deemed to be a share that was acquired by the individual at the time it was acquired by that person and owned by the individual throughout the period that it was owned by that person, if
where the person was the spouse or common-law partner of the individual, the share was an eligible small business share of the person and subsection 70(6) applied to the individual in respect of the share; or
where the person was the individual’s parent, the share was an eligible small business share of the parent and subsection 70(9.2) applied to the individual in respect of the share.
For the purpose of this section, a share of the capital stock of a corporation, acquired by an individual from a person who was the individual’s former spouse or common-law partner as a consequence of the settlement of rights arising out of their marriage or common-law partnership, is deemed to be a share that was acquired by the individual at the time it was acquired by that person and owned by the individual throughout the period that it was owned by that person if the share was an eligible small business share of the person and subsection 73(1) applied to the individual in respect of the share.
For the purpose of this section, where an individual receives shares of the capital stock of a particular corporation that are eligible small business corporation shares of the individual (in this subsection referred to as the “new shares”) as the sole consideration for the disposition by the individual of shares issued by the particular corporation or by another corporation that were eligible small business corporation shares of the individual (in this subsection referred to as the “exchanged shares”), the new shares are deemed to have been owned by the individual throughout the period that the exchanged shares were owned by the individual if
section 51, paragraph 85(1)(h), subsection 85.1(1), section 86 or subsection 87(4) applied to the individual in respect of the new shares; and
the individual’s total proceeds of disposition of the exchanged shares was equal to the total of all amounts each of which was the individual’s adjusted cost base of an exchanged share immediately before the disposition.
For the purpose of this section, where an individual receives common shares of the capital stock of a particular corporation (in this subsection referred to as the “new shares”) as the sole consideration for the disposition by the individual of common shares of the particular corporation or of another corporation (in this subsection referred to as the “exchanged shares”), the new shares are deemed to be eligible small business corporation shares of the individual and shares of the capital stock of an active business corporation that were owned by the individual throughout the period that the exchanged shares were owned by the individual, if
section 51, paragraph 85(1)(h), subsection 85.1(1), section 86 or subsection 87(4) applied to the individual in respect of the new shares;
the total of the individual’s proceeds of disposition in respect of the disposition of the exchanged shares was equal to the total of the individual’s adjusted cost bases immediately before the disposition of such shares; and
the disposition of the exchanged shares was a qualifying disposition of the individual.
For the purpose of the definitions in subsection (1), a property held at any particular time by a corporation that would, if this Act were read without reference to this subsection, be considered to carry on an active business at that time, is deemed to be used or held by the corporation in the course of carrying on that active business if the property (or other property for which the property is substituted property) was acquired by the corporation, at any time in the 36-month period ending at the particular time, because the corporation
issued a debt or a share of a class of its capital stock in order to acquire money for the purpose of acquiring property to be used in or held in the course of, or making expenditures for the purpose of, earning income from an active business carried on by it;
disposed of property used or held by it in the course of carrying on an active business in order to acquire money for the purpose of acquiring property to be used in or held in the course of, or making expenditures for the purpose of, earning income from an active business carried on by it; or
accumulated income derived from an active business carried on by it in order to acquire property to be used in or held in the course of, or to make expenditures for the purpose of, earning income from an active business carried on by it.
A disposition of a common share of an active business corporation (in this subsection referred to as the “subject share”) by an individual that, but for this subsection, would be a qualifying disposition of the individual is deemed not to be a qualifying disposition of the individual unless the active business of the corporation referred to in paragraph (a) of the definition active business corporation in subsection (1) was carried on primarily in Canada
at all times in the period that began at the time the individual last acquired the subject share and ended at the time of disposition, if that period is less than 730 days; or
in any other case, for at least 730 days in the period referred to in paragraph (a).
For the purpose of this section, an eligible small business corporation and an active business corporation at any time do not include a corporation that is, at that time,
a professional corporation;
a specified financial institution;
a corporation the principal business of which is the leasing, rental, development or sale, or any combination of those activities, of real or immovable property owned by it; or
a corporation more than 50% of the fair market value of the property of which (net of debts incurred to acquire the property) is attributable to real or immovable property.
In determining whether a share owned by an individual is an eligible small business corporation share of the individual, this Act shall be read without reference to section 48.1.
The permitted deferral of an individual in respect of a qualifying disposition of shares issued by a corporation (in this subsection referred to as “new shares”) is deemed to be nil where
the new shares (or shares for which the new shares are substituted property) were issued to the individual or a person related to the individual as part of a series of transactions or events in which
shares of the capital stock of a corporation (in this subsection referred to as the “old shares”) were disposed of by the individual or a person related to the individual, or
the paid-up capital of old shares or the adjusted cost base to the individual or to a person related to the individual of the old shares was reduced;
the new shares (or shares for which the new shares are substituted property) were
issued by the corporation that issued the old shares,
issued by a corporation that, at or immediately after the time of issue of the new shares, was a corporation that was not dealing at arm’s length with
the corporation that issued the old shares, or
the individual, or
issued, by a corporation that acquired the old shares (or by another corporation related to that corporation), as part of the transaction or event or series of transactions or events that included that acquisition of the old shares; and
it is reasonable to conclude that one of the main reasons for the series of transactions or events or a transaction in the series was to permit the individual, persons related to the individual, or the individual and persons related to the individual to become eligible to deduct under subsection (2) permitted deferrals in respect of qualifying dispositions of new shares (or shares substituted for the new shares) the total of which would exceed the total that those persons would have been eligible to deduct under subsection (2) in respect of permitted deferrals in respect of qualifying dispositions of old shares.
For the purpose of this section, an individual is deemed to dispose of shares that are identical properties in the order in which the individual acquired them.
For the purposes of this Subdivision the following rules apply:
where a taxpayer,
having acquired property for some other purpose, has commenced at a later time to use it for the purpose of gaining or producing income, or
having acquired property for the purpose of gaining or producing income, has commenced at a later time to use it for some other purpose,
the taxpayer shall be deemed to have
disposed of it at that later time for proceeds equal to its fair market value at that later time, and
immediately thereafter reacquired it at a cost equal to that fair market value;
where property has, since it was acquired by a taxpayer, been regularly used in part for the purpose of gaining or producing income and in part for some other purpose, the taxpayer shall be deemed to have acquired, for that other purpose, the proportion of the property that the use regularly made of the property for that other purpose is of the whole use regularly made of the property at a cost to the taxpayer equal to the same proportion of the cost to the taxpayer of the whole property, and, if the property has, in such a case, been disposed of, the proceeds of disposition of the proportion of the property deemed to have been acquired for that other purpose shall be deemed to be the same proportion of the proceeds of disposition of the whole property;
where, at any time after a taxpayer has acquired property, there has been a change in the relation between the use regularly made by the taxpayer of the property for gaining or producing income and the use regularly made of the property for other purposes,
if the use regularly made of the property for those other purposes has increased, the taxpayer shall be deemed to have
disposed of the property at that time for proceeds equal to the proportion of the fair market value of the property at that time that the amount of the increase in the use regularly made by the taxpayer of the property for those other purposes is of the whole use regularly made of the property, and
immediately thereafter reacquired the property so disposed of at a cost equal to the proceeds referred to in clause 45(1)(c)(i)(A), and
if the use regularly made of the property for those other purposes has decreased, the taxpayer shall be deemed to have
disposed of the property at that time for proceeds equal to the proportion of the fair market value of the property at that time that the amount of the decrease in use regularly made by the taxpayer of the property for those other purposes is of the whole use regularly made of the property, and
immediately thereafter reacquired the property so disposed of at a cost equal to the proceeds referred to in clause 45(1)(c)(ii)(A); and
in applying this subsection in respect of a non-resident taxpayer, a reference to “gaining or producing income” shall be read as a reference to “gaining or producing income from a source in Canada”.
For the purposes of this Subdivision and section 13, where subparagraph 45(1)(a)(i) or paragraph 13(7)(b) would otherwise apply to any property of a taxpayer for a taxation year and the taxpayer so elects in respect of the property in the taxpayer’s return of income for the year under this Part, the taxpayer shall be deemed not to have begun to use the property for the purpose of gaining or producing income except that, if in the taxpayer’s return of income under this Part for a subsequent taxation year the taxpayer rescinds the election in respect of the property, the taxpayer shall be deemed to have begun so to use the property on the first day of that subsequent year.
Where at any time a property that was acquired by a taxpayer for the purpose of gaining or producing income ceases to be used for that purpose and becomes the principal residence of the taxpayer, subsection 45(1) shall not apply to deem the taxpayer to have disposed of the property at that time and to have reacquired it immediately thereafter if the taxpayer so elects by notifying the Minister in writing on or before the earlier of
the day that is 90 days after a demand by the Minister for an election under this subsection is sent to the taxpayer, and
the taxpayer’s filing-due date for the taxation year in which the property is actually disposed of by the taxpayer.
Notwithstanding subsection 45(3), an election described in that subsection shall be deemed not to have been made in respect of a change in use of property if any deduction in respect of the property has been allowed for any taxation year ending after 1984 and on or before the change in use under regulations made under paragraph 20(1)(a) to the taxpayer, the taxpayer’s spouse or common-law partner or a trust under which the taxpayer or the taxpayer’s spouse or common-law partner is a beneficiary.
Where a taxpayer has disposed of a personal-use property (other than an excluded property disposed of in circumstances to which subsection 110.1(1), or the definition total charitable gifts, total cultural gifts or total ecological gifts in subsection 118.1(1), applies) of the taxpayer, for the purposes of this Subdivision
the adjusted cost base to the taxpayer of the property immediately before the disposition shall be deemed to be the greater of $1,000 and the amount otherwise determined to be its adjusted cost base to the taxpayer at that time; and
the taxpayer’s proceeds of disposition of the property shall be deemed to be the greater of $1,000 and the taxpayer’s proceeds of disposition of the property otherwise determined.
Where a taxpayer has disposed of part of a personal-use property (other than a part of an excluded property disposed of in circumstances to which subsection 110.1(1), or the definition total charitable gifts, total cultural gifts or total ecological gifts in subsection 118.1(1), applies) owned by the taxpayer and has retained another part of the property, for the purposes of this Subdivision
the adjusted cost base to the taxpayer, immediately before the disposition, of the part so disposed of shall be deemed to be the greater of
the adjusted cost base to the taxpayer at that time of that part otherwise determined, and
that proportion of $1,000 that the amount determined under subparagraph 46(2)(a)(i) is of the adjusted cost base to the taxpayer at that time of the whole property; and
the proceeds of disposition of the part so disposed of shall be deemed to be the greater of
the proceeds of disposition of that part otherwise determined, and
the amount determined under subparagraph 46(2)(a)(ii).
For the purposes of this Subdivision, where a number of personal-use personal-use properties of a taxpayer that would, if the properties were disposed of, ordinarily be disposed of in one disposition as a set,
have been disposed of by more than one disposition so that all of the properties have been acquired by one person or by a group of persons not dealing with each other at arm’s length, and
had, immediately before the first disposition referred to in paragraph 46(3)(a), a total fair market value greater than $1,000,
the properties shall be deemed to be a single personal-use property and each such disposition shall be deemed to be a disposition of a part of that property.
Where it may reasonably be regarded that, by reason of a decrease in the fair market value of any personal-use property of a corporation, partnership or trust,
a taxpayer’s gain, if any, from the disposition of a share of the capital stock of a corporation, an interest in a trust or an interest in a partnership has become a loss, or is less than it would have been if the decrease had not occurred, or
a taxpayer’s loss, if any, from the disposition of a share or interest described in paragraph 46(4)(a) is greater than it would have been if the decrease had not occurred,
the amount of the gain or loss, as the case may be, shall be deemed to be the amount that it would have been but for the decrease.
For the purpose of this section, excluded property of a taxpayer means property acquired by the taxpayer, or by a person with whom the taxpayer does not deal at arm’s length, in circumstances in which it is reasonable to conclude that the acquisition of the property relates to an arrangement, plan or scheme that is promoted by another person or partnership and under which it is reasonable to conclude that the property will be the subject of a gift to which subsection 110.1(1), or the definition total charitable gifts, total cultural gifts or total ecological gifts in subsection 118.1(1), applies.
Where at any particular time after 1971 a taxpayer who owns one property that was or two or more identical properties each of which was, as the case may be, acquired by the taxpayer after 1971, acquires one or more other properties (in this subsection referred to as “newly-acquired properties”) each of which is identical to each such previously-acquired property, for the purposes of computing, at any subsequent time, the adjusted cost base of the taxpayer of each such identical property,
the taxpayer shall be deemed to have disposed of each such previously-acquired property immediately before the particular time for proceeds equal to its adjusted cost base to the taxpayer immediately before the particular time;
the taxpayer shall be deemed to have acquired the identical property at the particular time at a cost equal to the quotient obtained when
the total of the adjusted cost bases to the taxpayer immediately before the particular time of the previously-acquired properties, and the cost to the taxpayer (determined without reference to this section) of the newly-acquired properties
is divided by
the number of the identical properties owned by the taxpayer immediately after the particular time;
there shall be deducted, after the particular time, in computing the adjusted cost base to the taxpayer of each such identical property, the amount determined by the formula A/B where A is the total of all amounts deducted under paragraph 53(2)(g.1) in computing immediately before the particular time the adjusted cost base to the taxpayer of the previously-acquired properties, and B is the number of such identical properties owned by the taxpayer immediately after the particular time or, where subsection 47(2) applies, the quotient determined under that subsection in respect of the acquisition; and
there shall be added, after the particular time, in computing the adjusted cost base to the taxpayer of each such identical property the amount determined under paragraph 47(1)(c) in respect of the identical property.
For the purposes of subsection 47(1), where a group of identical properties referred to in that subsection is a group of identical bonds, debentures, bills, notes or similar obligations issued by a debtor, subparagraph 47(1)(b)(ii) shall be read as follows:
the quotient obtained when the total of the principal amounts of all such identical properties owned by the taxpayer immediately after the particular time is divided by the principal amount of the identical property.”
For the purpose of subsection (1), a security (within the meaning assigned by subsection 7(7)) acquired by a taxpayer after February 27, 2000 is deemed not to be identical to any other security acquired by the taxpayer if
the security is acquired in circumstances to which any of subsections 7(1.1), (1.5) or (8) or 147(10.1) applies; or
the security is a security to which subsection 7(1.31) applies.
Words and expressions used in subsections 47.1(27) and 47.1(28) have the meanings assigned to them by subsections 47.1(1) to (26) of the Income Tax Act, chapter 148 of the Revised Statutes of Canada, 1952, as the latter subsections read on July 1, 1986 and in so far as they are not inconsistent with subsections 47.1(27) and 47.1(28).
Notwithstanding any other provision of this Act, where paragraph 47.1(10)(f) of the Income Tax Act, chapter 148 of the Revised Statutes of Canada, 1952, as that paragraph read on January 1, 1986, applied in respect of the termination before 1986 of an indexed security investment plan under which a taxpayer was a participant, any amount that would have been deemed under that paragraph to be a capital loss of the taxpayer from the Plan for the 1986 or a subsequent taxation year shall be deemed to be a capital loss of the taxpayer for the 1986 taxation year from the disposition of property in 1986.
Where a taxpayer was a participant under a Plan on January 1, 1986, the following rules apply:
each indexed security owned under the Plan by the taxpayer on that date shall be deemed to have been disposed of under the Plan on that date for proceeds of disposition determined by the formula A × B/C where A is the indexing base of the Plan on that date determined as if subparagraph 47.1(3)(a)(i) of the Income Tax Act, chapter 148 of the Revised Statutes of Canada, 1952, were read as “the fair market value of all indexed securities owned by the taxpayer under the Plan at the end of the preceding taxation year”, B is the fair market value of the security on that date, and C is the fair market value of all indexed securities owned under the Plan by the taxpayer on that date;
each indexed security deemed under paragraph 47.1(28)(a) to have been disposed of under the Plan shall be deemed to have been reacquired outside the Plan by the taxpayer immediately after that date at a cost equal to the amount deemed under paragraph 47.1(28)(a) to be the proceeds of the disposition of that security;
each put or call option referred to in clause 47.1(4)(a)(iv)(B) or (C) of the Income Tax Act, chapter 148 of the Revised Statutes of Canada, 1952, as that clause read on January 1, 1986, outstanding under the Plan on that date shall be deemed to have been closed out under the Plan on that date at a cost equal to the amount that the taxpayer would have had to pay on that date if the taxpayer had actually closed out the option on a prescribed stock exchange in Canada on that date;
each put or call option deemed under paragraph 47.1(28)(c) to have been closed out shall be deemed to be written outside the Plan immediately after that date for proceeds equal to the amount deemed under paragraph 47.1(28)(c) to be the cost at which the option was closed out; and
for greater certainty, the taxpayer’s indexed gain or loss, as the case may be, for the 1986 taxation year from the Plan and unindexed gain or loss, as the case may be, for that year from the Plan shall be nil.
[Repealed, 1994, c. 21, s. 19(1)]
Where
at any time in a taxation year an individual owns capital property that is a share of a class of the capital stock of a corporation that,
at that time, is a small business corporation, and
immediately after that time, ceases to be a small business corporation because a class of its or another corporation’s shares is listed on a designated stock exchange, and
the individual elects in prescribed form to have this section apply,
the individual is deemed, except for the purposes of sections 7 and 35, paragraph 110(1)(d.1) and subsections 120.4(4) and (5),
to have disposed of the share at that time for proceeds of disposition equal to the greater of
the adjusted cost base to the individual of the share at that time, and
the lesser of the fair market value of the share at that time and such amount as is designated in the prescribed form by the individual in respect of the share, and
to have reacquired the share immediately after that time at a cost equal to those proceeds of disposition.
An election made under subsection 48.1(1) by an individual for a taxation year shall be made on or before the individual’s filing-due date for the year.
Where the election referred to in subsection 48.1(2) was not made on or before the day referred to therein, the election shall be deemed for the purposes of subsections 48.1(1) and 48.1(2) to have been made on that day if, on or before the day that is 2 years after that day,
the election is made in prescribed form; and
an estimate of the penalty in respect of that election is paid by the individual when the election is made.
For the purposes of this section, the penalty in respect of an election referred to in paragraph 48.1(3)(a) is an amount equal to the lesser of
1/4 of 1% of the amount, if any, by which
the proceeds of disposition determined under subsection 48.1(1)
exceed
the amount referred to in subparagraph 48.1(1)(c)(i)
for each month or part of a month during the period commencing on the day referred to in subsection 48.1(2) and ending on the day the election is made, and
an amount equal to the product obtained by multiplying $100 by the number of months each of which is a month all or part of which is during the period referred to in paragraph 48.1(4)(a).
The Minister shall, with all due dispatch, examine each election referred to in paragraph 48.1(3)(a), assess the penalty payable and send a notice of assessment to the individual, who shall pay forthwith to the Receiver General the amount, if any, by which the penalty so assessed exceeds the total of all amounts previously paid on account of that penalty.
Subject to subsections 49(3) and 49(3.1), for the purposes of this Subdivision, the granting of an option, other than
an option to acquire or to dispose of a principal residence,
an option granted by a corporation to acquire shares of its capital stock or bonds or debentures to be issued by it, or
an option granted by a trust to acquire units of the trust to be issued by the trust,
is a disposition of a property the adjusted cost base of which to the grantor immediately before the grant is nil.
If at any time an option described in paragraph (1)(b) expires, the corporation that granted the option is deemed to have disposed of capital property at that time for proceeds equal to the proceeds received by it for the granting of the option, and the adjusted cost base to the corporation of that capital property immediately before that time is deemed to be nil, unless
the option is held, at that time, by a person who deals at arm’s length with the corporation and the option was granted by the corporation to a person who was dealing at arm’s length with the corporation at the time that the option was granted, or
the option is an option to acquire shares of the capital stock of the corporation in consideration for the incurring, pursuant to an agreement described in paragraph (e) of the definition Canadian exploration and development expenses in subsection 66(15), paragraph (i) of the definition Canadian exploration expense in subsection 66.1(6), paragraph (g) of the definition Canadian development expense in subsection 66.2(5) or paragraph (c) of the definition Canadian oil and gas property expense in subsection 66.4(5), of any expense described in whichever of those paragraphs is applicable.
If, at a particular time, an option referred to in paragraph (1)(c) expires, and the option is held at that time by a person who does not deal at arm’s length with the trust or was granted to a person who did not deal at arm’s length with the trust at the time that the option was granted,
the trust is deemed to have disposed of capital property at the particular time for proceeds equal to the proceeds received by it for the granting of the option; and
the adjusted cost base to the trust of that capital property immediately before the particular time is deemed to be nil.
Where an option to acquire property is exercised so that property is disposed of by a taxpayer (in this subsection referred to as the “vendor”) or so that property is acquired by another taxpayer (in this subsection referred to as the “purchaser”), for the purpose of computing the income of each such taxpayer the granting and the exercise of the option shall be deemed not to be dispositions of property and there shall be included
in computing the vendor’s proceeds of disposition of the property, the consideration received by the vendor for the option; and
in computing the cost to the purchaser of the property,
where paragraph 53(1)(j) applied to the acquisition of the property by the purchaser because a person who did not deal at arm’s length with the purchaser was deemed because of the acquisition to have received a benefit under section 7, the adjusted cost base to that person of the option immediately before that person last disposed of the option, and
in any other case, the adjusted cost base to the purchaser of the option.
Where at any time a taxpayer exercises an option to acquire a specified property,
there shall be deducted after that time in computing the adjusted cost base to the taxpayer of the specified property the total of all amounts deducted under paragraph 53(2)(g.1) in computing, immediately before that time, the adjusted cost base to the taxpayer of the option; and
the amount determined under paragraph 49(3.01)(a) in respect of that acquisition shall be added after that time in computing the adjusted cost base to the taxpayer of the specified property.
Where an option to dispose of property is exercised so that property is disposed of by a taxpayer (in this subsection referred to as the “vendor”) or so that property is acquired by another taxpayer (in this subsection referred to as the “purchaser”), for the purpose of computing the income of each such taxpayer the granting and the exercise of the option shall be deemed not to be dispositions of property and there shall be deducted
in computing the vendor’s proceeds of disposition of the property, the adjusted cost base to the vendor of the option; and
in computing the cost to the purchaser of the property, the consideration received by the purchaser for the option.
Where an individual (other than a trust) who disposes of property pursuant to the exercise of an option that was granted by the individual before February 23, 1994 so elects in the individual’s return of income for the taxation year in which the disposition occurs, subsection 49(3) does not apply in respect of the disposition in computing the income of the individual.
Where
an option granted by a taxpayer in a taxation year (in this subsection referred to as the “initial year”) is exercised in a subsequent taxation year (in this subsection referred to as the “subsequent year”),
the taxpayer has filed a return of the taxpayer’s income for the initial year as required by section 150, and
on or before the day on or before which the taxpayer was required by section 150 to file a return of the taxpayer’s income for the subsequent year, the taxpayer has filed an amended return for the initial year excluding from the taxpayer’s income the proceeds received by the taxpayer for the granting of the option,
such reassessment of the taxpayer’s tax, interest or penalties for the year shall be made as is necessary to give effect to the exclusion.
Where a taxpayer has granted an option (in this subsection referred to as the “original option”) to which subsection 49(1), 49(2) or 49(2.1) applies, and grants one or more extensions or renewals of that original option,
for the purposes of subsections 49(1), 49(2) and 49(2.1), the granting of each extension or renewal shall be deemed to be the granting of an option at the time the extension or renewal is granted;
for the purposes of subsections (2) to (4) and subparagraph (b)(iv) of the definition disposition in subsection 248(1), the original option and each extension or renewal of it is deemed to be the same option; and
subsection 49(4) shall be read as if the year in which the original option was granted and each year in which any extension or renewal thereof was granted were all initial years.
For greater certainty, where a taxpayer acquires a particular property in satisfaction of an absolute or contingent obligation of a person or partnership to provide the particular property pursuant to a contract or other arrangement one of the main objectives of which was to establish a right, whether absolute or contingent, to the particular property and that right was not under the terms of a trust, partnership agreement, share or debt obligation, the satisfaction of the obligation is not a disposition of that right.
For the purposes of this Subdivision, where
a debt owing to a taxpayer at the end of a taxation year (other than a debt owing to the taxpayer in respect of the disposition of personal-use property) is established by the taxpayer to have become a bad debt in the year, or
a share (other than a share received by a taxpayer as consideration in respect of the disposition of personal-use property) of the capital stock of a corporation is owned by the taxpayer at the end of a taxation year and
the corporation has during the year become a bankrupt,
the corporation is a corporation referred to in section 6 of the Winding-up Act that is insolvent (within the meaning of that Act) and in respect of which a winding-up order under that Act has been made in the year, or
at the end of the year,
the corporation is insolvent,
neither the corporation nor a corporation controlled by it carries on business,
the fair market value of the share is nil, and
it is reasonable to expect that the corporation will be dissolved or wound up and will not commence to carry on business
and the taxpayer elects in the taxpayer’s return of income for the year to have this subsection apply in respect of the debt or the share, as the case may be, the taxpayer shall be deemed to have disposed of the debt or the share, as the case may be, at the end of the year for proceeds equal to nil and to have reacquired it immediately after the end of the year at a cost equal to nil.
Where
a taxpayer is deemed because of subparagraph 50(1)(b)(iii) to have disposed of a share of the capital stock of a corporation at the end of a taxation year, and
the taxpayer or a person with whom the taxpayer is not dealing at arm’s length owns the share at the earliest time, during the 24-month period immediately following the disposition, that the corporation or a corporation controlled by it carries on business,
the taxpayer or the person, as the case may be, shall be deemed to have disposed of the share at that earliest time for proceeds of disposition equal to its adjusted cost base to the taxpayer determined immediately before the time of the disposition referred to in paragraph 50(1.1)(a) and to have reacquired it immediately after that earliest time at a cost equal to those proceeds.
Where at the end of a taxation year a debt that is a personal-use property of a taxpayer is owing to the taxpayer by a person with whom the taxpayer deals at arm’s length and is established by the taxpayer to have become a bad debt in the year,
the taxpayer shall be deemed to have disposed of it at the end of the year for proceeds equal to the amount, if any, by which
its adjusted cost base to the taxpayer immediately before the end of the year
exceeds
the amount of the taxpayer’s gain, if any, from the disposition of the personal-use property the proceeds of disposition of which included the debt; and
the taxpayer shall be deemed to have reacquired the debt immediately after the end of the year at a cost equal to the amount of the proceeds determined under paragraph 50(2)(a).
Each trust that was at the end of 1985 governed by a registered home ownership savings plan (within the meaning assigned by paragraph 146.2(1)(h) of the Income Tax Act, chapter 148 of the Revised Statutes of Canada, 1952, as it read in its application to the 1985 taxation year) shall be deemed to have disposed, immediately before 1986, of each property it holds at that time for proceeds of disposition equal to the fair market value of the property at that time and to have reacquired it immediately after 1985 at a cost equal to that fair market value.
Where a share of the capital stock of a corporation is acquired by a taxpayer from the corporation in exchange for
a capital property of the taxpayer that is another share of the corporation (in this section referred to as a “convertible property”), or
a capital property of the taxpayer that is a bond, debenture or note of the corporation the terms of which confer on the holder the right to make the exchange (in this section referred to as a “convertible property”)
and no consideration other than the share is received by the taxpayer for the convertible property,
except for the purposes of subsections 20(21) and 44.1(6) and (7) and paragraph 94(2)(m), the exchange is deemed not to be a disposition of the convertible property,
the cost to the taxpayer of all the shares of a particular class acquired by the taxpayer on the exchange shall be deemed to be the amount determined by the formula A × B/C where A is the adjusted cost base to the taxpayer of the convertible property immediately before the exchange, B is the fair market value, immediately after the exchange, of all the shares of the particular class acquired by the taxpayer on the exchange, and C is the fair market value, immediately after the exchange, of all the shares acquired by the taxpayer on the exchange,
there shall be deducted, after the exchange, in computing the adjusted cost base to the taxpayer of a share acquired by the taxpayer on the exchange, the amount determined by the formula A × B/C where A is the total of all amounts deducted under paragraph 53(2)(g.1) in computing, immediately before the exchange, the adjusted cost base to the taxpayer of the convertible property, B is the fair market value, immediately after the exchange, of that share, and C is the fair market value, immediately after the exchange, of all the shares acquired by the taxpayer on the exchange,
the amount determined under paragraph 51(1)(d.1) in respect of a share shall be added, after the exchange, in computing the adjusted cost base to the taxpayer of the share,
for the purposes of sections 74.4 and 74.5, the exchange shall be deemed to be a transfer of the convertible property by the taxpayer to the corporation, and
where the convertible property is taxable Canadian property of the taxpayer, the share acquired by the taxpayer on the exchange is deemed to be, at any time that is within 60 months after the exchange, taxable Canadian property of the taxpayer.
Notwithstanding subsection 51(1), where
shares of the capital stock of a corporation have been acquired by a taxpayer in exchange for a convertible property in circumstances such that, but for this subsection, subsection 51(1) would have applied,
the fair market value of the convertible property immediately before the exchange exceeds the fair market value of the shares immediately after the exchange, and
it is reasonable to regard any portion of the excess (in this subsection referred to as the “gift portion”) as a benefit that the taxpayer desired to have conferred on a person related to the taxpayer,
the following rules apply:
the taxpayer shall be deemed to have disposed of the convertible property for proceeds of disposition equal to the lesser of
the total of its adjusted cost base to the taxpayer immediately before the exchange and the gift portion, and
the fair market value of the convertible property immediately before the exchange,
the taxpayer’s capital loss from the disposition of the convertible property shall be deemed to be nil, and
the cost to the taxpayer of all the shares of a particular class acquired in exchange for the convertible property shall be deemed to be that proportion of the lesser of
the adjusted cost base to the taxpayer of the convertible property immediately before the exchange, and
the total of the fair market value immediately after the exchange of all the shares acquired by the taxpayer in exchange for the convertible property and the amount that, but for paragraph 51(2)(e), would have been the taxpayer’s capital loss on the disposition of the convertible property,
that
the fair market value, immediately after the exchange, of all the shares of the particular class acquired by the taxpayer on the exchange
is of
the fair market value, immediately after the exchange, of all the shares acquired by the taxpayer on the exchange.
Where subsection 51(1) applies to the exchange of convertible property described in paragraph 51(1)(a) (referred to in this subsection as the “old shares”), in computing the paid-up capital in respect of a particular class of shares of the capital stock of the corporation at any particular time that is the time of, or any time after, the exchange
there shall be deducted the amount determined by the formula(A - B) × C/A where A is the total of all amounts each of which is the amount of the increase, if any, as a result of the exchange, in the paid-up capital in respect of a class of shares of the capital stock of the corporation, computed without reference to this subsection as it applies to the exchange, B is the paid-up capital immediately before the exchange in respect of the old shares, and C is the increase, if any, as a result of the exchange, in the paid-up capital in respect of the particular class of shares, computed without reference to this subsection as it applies to the exchange; and
there shall be added an amount equal to the lesser of
the amount, if any, by which exceeds
the total of all amounts deemed by subsection 84(3), 84(4) or 84(4.1) to be a dividend on shares of that class paid by the corporation before the particular time
the total that would be determined under clause 51(3)(b)(i)(A) if this Act were read without reference to paragraph 51(3)(a), and
the total of all amounts required by paragraph 51(3)(a) to be deducted in respect of that particular class of shares before the particular time.
Subsections 51(1) and 51(2) do not apply to any exchange to which subsection 85(1) or 85(2) or section 86 applies.
Where
a taxpayer acquires a bond, debenture or note of a debtor (in this section referred to as the “new obligation”) in exchange for a capital property of the taxpayer that is another bond, debenture or note of the same debtor (in this section referred to as the “convertible obligation”),
the terms of the convertible obligation conferred on the holder the right to make the exchange, and
the principal amount of the new obligation is equal to the principal amount of the convertible obligation,
the cost to the taxpayer of the new obligation and the proceeds of disposition of the convertible obligation shall be deemed to be equal to the adjusted cost base to the taxpayer of the convertible obligation immediately before the exchange.
In applying this subdivision, an amount equal to the particular amount described by paragraph (d) shall be added in computing the cost at any time to a taxpayer of a property if
the taxpayer acquired the property after 1971;
the amount was not at or before that time otherwise added to the cost, or included in computing the adjusted cost base, to the taxpayer of the property;
the property is not an annuity contract, a right as a beneficiary under a trust to enforce payment of an amount by the trust to the taxpayer, property acquired in circumstances to which subsection (2) or (3) applies, or property acquired from a trust in satisfaction of all or part of the taxpayer’s capital interest in the trust; and
a particular amount in respect of the property’s value was
included, otherwise than under section 7, in computing
the taxpayer’s taxable income or taxable income earned in Canada, as the case may be, for a taxation year during which the taxpayer was non-resident, or
the taxpayer’s income for a taxation year throughout which the taxpayer was resident in Canada, or
for the purpose of computing the tax payable under Part XIII by the taxpayer, included in an amount that was paid or credited to the taxpayer.
[Repealed, 2001, c. 17, s. 35(1)]
Where any property has, after 1971, been received by a shareholder of a corporation at any time as, on account or in lieu of payment of, or in satisfaction of, a dividend payable in kind (other than a stock dividend) in respect of a share owned by the shareholder of the capital stock of the corporation, the shareholder shall be deemed to have acquired the property at a cost to the shareholder equal to its fair market value at that time, and the corporation shall be deemed to have disposed of the property at that time for proceeds equal to that fair market value.
Where a shareholder of a corporation has, after 1971, received a stock dividend in respect of a share owned by the shareholder of the capital stock of the corporation, the shareholder shall be deemed to have acquired the share or shares received by the shareholder as a stock dividend at a cost to the shareholder equal to the total of
where the stock dividend is a dividend, the amount, if any, by which
the amount of the stock dividend
the amount of the dividend that the shareholder may deduct under subsection 112(1) in computing the shareholder’s taxable income, except any portion of the dividend that, if paid as a separate dividend, would not be subject to subsection 55(2) because the capital gain referred to in that subsection could reasonably be considered not to be attributable to anything other than income earned or realized by any corporation after 1971 and before the safe-income determination time for the transaction or event or series of transactions or events as part of which the dividend was received,
where the stock dividend is not a dividend, nil, and
where an amount is included in the shareholder’s income in respect of the stock dividend under subsection 15(1.1), the amount so included.
Where any property has been acquired by a taxpayer at any time after 1971 as a prize in connection with a lottery scheme, the taxpayer shall be deemed to have acquired the property at a cost to the taxpayer equal to its fair market value at that time.

Notwithstanding any other provision of this Act, where a corporation disposes of property to another corporation in a transaction to which paragraph 219(1)(l) applies, the cost to it of any share of a particular class of the capital stock of the other corporation received by it as consideration for the property is deemed to be the lesser of the cost of the share to the corporation otherwise determined immediately after the disposition and the amount by which the paid-up capital in respect of that class increases because of the issuance of the share.
Notwithstanding any other provision of this Act, where at any time a corporation becomes resident in Canada, the cost to any shareholder who is not at that time resident in Canada of any share of the corporation’s capital stock, other than a share that was taxable Canadian property immediately before that time, is deemed to be equal to the fair market value of the share at that time.
In computing the adjusted cost base to a taxpayer of property at any time, there shall be added to the cost to the taxpayer of the property such of the following amounts in respect of the property as are applicable:
any amount deemed by subsection 40(3) to be a gain of the taxpayer for a taxation year from a disposition before that time of the property;
where the property is a share of the capital stock of a corporation resident in Canada, the amount, if any, by which
the total of all amounts each of which is the amount of a dividend on the share deemed by subsection 84(1) to have been received by the taxpayer before that time

where the property is a share of the capital stock of a corporation, the amount of any dividend deemed by paragraph 128.1(1)(c.2) to have been received in respect of the share by the taxpayer before that time and while the taxpayer was resident in Canada;
where the property is a share of the capital stock of a corporation and the taxpayer has, after 1971, made a contribution of capital to the corporation otherwise than by way of a loan, by way of a disposition of shares of a foreign affiliate of the taxpayer to which subsection 85.1(3) or paragraph 95(2)(c) applies or, subject to subsection 53(1.1), a disposition of property in respect of which the taxpayer and the corporation have made an election under section 85, that proportion of such part of the amount of the contribution as cannot reasonably be regarded as a benefit conferred by the taxpayer on a person (other than the corporation) who was related to the taxpayer that
the amount that may reasonably be regarded as the increase in the fair market value, as a result of the contribution, of the share
the amount that may reasonably be regarded as the increase in the fair market value, as a result of the contribution, of all shares of the capital stock of the corporation owned by the taxpayer immediately after the contribution;
if the property is a share of the capital stock of a foreign affiliate of the taxpayer, any amount required by section 92 to be added in computing the adjusted cost base to the taxpayer of the share;
where the property is a share of the capital stock of a corporation, any amount required by paragraph 139.1(16)(l) to be added in computing the adjusted cost base to the taxpayer of the share;
if the property is a capital interest in a trust, any amount included under subsection 91(1) or (3) in computing the taxpayer’s income for a taxation year that ends at or before that time (or that would have been required to have been included under those subsections but for subsection 56(4.1) and sections 74.1 to 75 of this Act and section 74 of the Income Tax Act, chapter 148 of the Revised Statutes of Canada, 1952) in respect of that interest;
where the property is a unit in a mutual fund trust, any amount required by subsection 132.1(2) to be added in computing the adjusted cost base to the taxpayer of the unit;
where the property is a share of the capital stock of a corporation of which the taxpayer was, at any time, a specified shareholder, any expense incurred by the taxpayer in respect of land or a building of the corporation that was by reason of subsection 18(2) or 18(3.1) not deductible by the taxpayer in computing the taxpayer’s income for any taxation year commencing before that time;
where the property is an interest in a partnership,
an amount in respect of each fiscal period of the partnership ending after 1971 and before that time, equal to the total of all amounts each of which is the taxpayer’s share (other than a share under an agreement referred to in subsection 96(1.1)) of the income of the partnership from any source for that fiscal period, computed as if this Act were read without reference to

Where a corporation resident in Canada has received a taxable dividend in respect of which it is entitled to a deduction under subsection 112(1) or 112(2) or 138(6) as part of a transaction or event or a series of transactions or events, one of the purposes of which (or, in the case of a dividend under subsection 84(3), one of the results of which) was to effect a significant reduction in the portion of the capital gain that, but for the dividend, would have been realized on a disposition at fair market value of any share of capital stock immediately before the dividend and that could reasonably be considered to be attributable to anything other than income earned or realized by any corporation after 1971 and before the safe-income determination time for the transaction, event or series, notwithstanding any other section of this Act, the amount of the dividend (other than the portion of it, if any, subject to tax under Part IV that is not refunded as a consequence of the payment of a dividend to a corporation where the payment is part of the series)
shall be deemed not to be a dividend received by the corporation;
where a corporation has disposed of the share, shall be deemed to be proceeds of disposition of the share except to the extent that it is otherwise included in computing such proceeds; and
where a corporation has not disposed of the share, shall be deemed to be a gain of the corporation for the year in which the dividend was received from the disposition of a capital property.
Subsection 55(2) does not apply to any dividend received by a corporation (in this subsection and subsection 55(3.01) referred to as the “dividend recipient”)

after the time the dividend was received, a disposition, to a person or partnership that was an unrelated person immediately before the particular time, of
shares of the capital stock of the dividend recipient, or
property more than 10% of the fair market value of which was, at any time during the series, derived from any combination of shares of the capital stock and debt of the dividend recipient, and
a significant increase in the total of all direct interests in the dividend payer of one or more persons or partnerships who were unrelated persons immediately before the particular time; or

an unrelated person means a person (other than the dividend recipient) to whom the dividend recipient is not related or a partnership any member of which (other than the dividend recipient) is not related to the dividend recipient;
a corporation that is formed by an amalgamation of 2 or more other corporations is deemed to be the same corporation as, and a continuation of, each of the other corporations;
where there has been a winding-up of a corporation to which subsection 88(1) applies, the parent is deemed to be the same corporation as, and a continuation of, the subsidiary;
proceeds of disposition are to be determined without reference to
the expression “paragraph 55(2)(a) or” in paragraph (j) of the definition proceeds of disposition in section 54, and
section 93;
notwithstanding any other provision of this Act, where a non-resident person disposes of a property in a taxation year and the gain or loss from the disposition is not included in computing the person’s taxable income earned in Canada for the year, the person is deemed to have disposed of the property for proceeds of disposition that are less than its fair market value unless, under the income tax laws of the country in which the person is resident, the gain or loss is computed as if the property were disposed of for proceeds of disposition that are not less than its fair market value and the gain or loss so computed is recognized for the purposes of those laws;
a significant increase in the total direct interest in a corporation that would, but for this paragraph, be described in subparagraph (3)(a)(ii) is deemed not to be described in that subparagraph if the increase was the result of the issuance of shares of the capital stock of the corporation solely for money and the shares were redeemed, acquired or cancelled by the corporation before the dividend was received;
a disposition of property that would, but for this paragraph, be described in subparagraph (3)(a)(i), or a significant increase in the total direct interest in a corporation that would, but for this paragraph, be described in subparagraph (3)(a)(ii), is deemed not to be described in those subparagraphs if
the dividend payer was related to the dividend recipient immediately before the dividend was received,
the dividend payer did not, as part of the series of transactions or events that includes the receipt of the dividend, cease to be related to the dividend recipient,
the disposition or increase occurred before the dividend was received,
the disposition or increase was the result of the disposition of shares to, or the acquisition of shares of, a particular corporation, and
at the time the dividend was received, all the shares of the capital stock of the dividend recipient and the dividend payer were owned by the particular corporation, a corporation that controlled the particular corporation, a corporation controlled by the particular corporation or any combination of those corporations; and
a winding-up of a subsidiary wholly-owned corporation to which subsection 88(1) applies, or an amalgamation to which subsection 87(11) applies of a corporation with one or more subsidiary wholly-owned corporations, is deemed not to result in a significant increase in the total direct interest, or in the total of all direct interests, in the subsidiary or subsidiaries, as the case may be.
For the purposes of the definition distribution in subsection (1), where the transfer referred to in that definition is by a specified corporation to an acquiror described in the definition specified corporation in subsection (1), the references in the definition distribution to
“each type of property” shall be read as “property”; and
“property of that type” shall be read as “property”.
Notwithstanding subsection 55(3), a dividend to which subsection 55(2) would, but for paragraph 55(3)(b), apply is not excluded from the application of subsection 55(2) where
in contemplation of and before a distribution (other than a distribution by a specified corporation) made in the course of the reorganization in which the dividend was received, property became property of the distributing corporation, a corporation controlled by it or a predecessor corporation of any such corporation otherwise than as a result of
an amalgamation of corporations each of which was related to the distributing corporation,

For the purpose of paragraph 55(3.1)(b),
in determining whether the vendor referred to in subparagraph 55(3.1)(b)(i) is at any time a specified shareholder of a transferee corporation or of a distributing corporation, the references in the definition specified shareholder in subsection 248(1) to “taxpayer” shall be read as “person or partnership”;

immediately after the reorganization in the course of which the distribution was made, the particular person was related to the distributing corporation;
where a share is acquired by an individual from a personal trust in satisfaction of all or a part of the individual’s capital interest in the trust, the individual shall be deemed, in respect of that acquisition, to be related to the trust;
subject to paragraph 55(3.2)(f), where at any time a share of the capital stock of a corporation is redeemed or cancelled (otherwise than on an amalgamation where the only consideration received or receivable for the share by the shareholder on the amalgamation is a share of the capital stock of the corporation formed by the amalgamation), the corporation shall be deemed to have acquired the share at that time;

the fair market value at that time of all the issued and outstanding shares of the capital stock of the affiliate;
in determining whether 2 or more persons are related to each other, in determining whether a person is at any time a specified shareholder of a corporation and in determining whether control of a corporation has been acquired by a person or group of persons,
a person shall be deemed to be dealing with another person at arm’s length and not to be related to the other person if the person is the brother or sister of the other person,

For the purpose of subsection (2), a trust is at any particular time a lifetime benefit trust with respect to a taxpayer and the estate of a deceased individual if
immediately before the death of the deceased individual, the taxpayer
was both a spouse or common-law partner of the deceased individual and mentally infirm, or
was both a child or grandchild of the deceased individual and dependent on the deceased individual for support because of mental infirmity; and
the trust is, at the particular time, a personal trust under which
no person other than the taxpayer may receive or otherwise obtain the use of, during the taxpayer’s lifetime, any of the income or capital of the trust, and
the trustees
are empowered to pay amounts from the trust to the taxpayer, and
are required — in determining whether to pay, or not to pay, an amount to the taxpayer — to consider the needs of the taxpayer including, without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the comfort, care and maintenance of the taxpayer.
Each of the following is a qualifying trust annuity with respect to a taxpayer:
an annuity that meets the following conditions:
it is acquired after 2005,
the annuitant under it is a trust that is, at the time the annuity is acquired, a lifetime benefit trust with respect to the taxpayer and the estate of a deceased individual,
it is for the life of the taxpayer (with or without a guaranteed period), or for a fixed term equal to 90 years minus the age in whole years of the taxpayer at the time it is acquired, and

the annuitant under it is a trust under which the taxpayer is the sole person beneficially interested (determined without regard to any right of a person to receive an amount from the trust only on or after the death of the taxpayer) in amounts payable under the annuity,
it is for a fixed term not exceeding 18 years minus the age in whole years of the taxpayer at the time it is acquired, and
if it is acquired after 2005, it requires that, in the event of the death of the taxpayer during the fixed term, any amounts that would otherwise be payable after the death of the taxpayer be commuted into a single payment; and
an annuity that meets the following conditions:
it is acquired
after 2000 and before 2005 at a time at which the taxpayer was mentally or physically infirm, or
in 2005 at a time at which the taxpayer was mentally infirm,
the annuitant under it is a trust under which the taxpayer is the sole person beneficially interested (determined without regard to any right of a person to receive an amount from the trust only on or after the death of the taxpayer) in amounts payable under the annuity, and
it is for the life of the taxpayer (with or without a guaranteed period), or for a fixed term equal to 90 years minus the age in whole years of the taxpayer at the time it is acquired.
For the purpose of paragraph 60(l),
in determining if a qualifying trust annuity with respect to a taxpayer is an annuity described in subparagraph 60(l)(ii), clauses 60(l)(ii)(A) and (B) are to be read without regard to their requirement that the taxpayer be the annuitant under the annuity; and
if an amount paid to acquire a qualifying trust annuity with respect to a taxpayer would, if this Act were read without reference to this subsection, not be considered to have been paid by or on behalf of the taxpayer, the amount is deemed to have been paid on behalf of the taxpayer where
it is paid
by the estate of a deceased individual who was, immediately before death,
a spouse or common-law partner of the taxpayer, or
a parent or grandparent of the taxpayer on whom the taxpayer was dependent for support, or
by the trust that is the annuitant under the qualifying trust annuity, and
it would, if it had been paid by the taxpayer, be deductible under paragraph 60(l) in computing the taxpayer’s income for a taxation year and the taxpayer elects, in the taxpayer’s return of income under this Part for that taxation year, to have this paragraph apply to the amount.

the total of
the total of all amounts each of which is
an amount included under section 5, 6 or 7 or paragraph 56(1)(n), (o) or (r) in computing the taxpayer’s income for the year, or
the taxpayer’s income for the year from a business carried on either alone or as a partner actively engaged in the business, and
where the taxpayer is in attendance at a designated educational institution or a secondary school at which the taxpayer is enrolled in an educational program, the least of
$15,000,
$375 times the number of weeks in the year during which the taxpayer is in attendance at the institution or school, and
the amount, if any, by which the amount that would, if this Act were read without reference to this section, be the taxpayer’s income for the year exceeds the total determined under subparagraph (i) in respect of the taxpayer for the year.
In applying sections 63 and 64 in respect of a taxpayer who is, throughout all or part of a taxation year, absent from but resident in Canada, the following rules apply for the year or that part of the year, as the case may be:
the definition child care expense in subsection 63(3), and section 64, shall be read without reference to the words “in Canada”;
subsection 63(1) and section 64 shall be read without reference to the words “and contains, where the payee is an individual, that individual’s Social Insurance Number”, if the payment referred to in that subsection or section, as the case may be, is made to a person who is not resident in Canada; and
paragraph (b) of the definition child care expense in subsection 63(3) shall be read as if the word “person” were substituted for the words “resident of Canada” where they appear therein.
There may be deducted in computing a taxpayer’s income for a taxation year such amount as an allowance, if any, in respect of
a natural accumulation of petroleum or natural gas, oil or gas well, mineral resource or timber limit,
the processing of ore (other than iron ore or tar sands) from a mineral resource to any stage that is not beyond the prime metal stage or its equivalent,
the processing of iron ore from a mineral resource to any stage that is not beyond the pellet stage or its equivalent, or
the processing of tar sands from a mineral resource to any stage that is not beyond the crude oil stage or its equivalent
as is allowed to the taxpayer by regulation.
For greater certainty it is hereby declared that, in the case of a regulation made under subsection 65(1) allowing to a taxpayer an amount in respect of a natural accumulation of petroleum or natural gas, an oil or gas well or a mineral resource or in respect of the processing of ore,
there may be allowed to the taxpayer by that regulation an amount in respect of any or all
natural accumulations of petroleum or natural gas, oil or gas wells or mineral resources in which the taxpayer has any interest or, for civil law, right, or
processing operations described in any of paragraphs 65(1)(b), (c) and (d) that are carried on by the taxpayer; and
notwithstanding any other provision contained in this Act, the Governor in Council may prescribe the formula by which the amount that may be allowed to the taxpayer by that regulation shall be determined.
Where a deduction is allowed under subsection 65(1) in respect of a coal mine operated by a lessee, the lessor and lessee may agree as to what portion of the allowance each may deduct and, in the event that they cannot agree, the Minister may fix the portions.
A principal-business corporation may deduct, in computing its income for a taxation year, the lesser of
the total of such of its Canadian exploration and development expenses as were incurred by it before the end of the taxation year, to the extent that they were not deductible in computing income for a previous taxation year, and
of that total, an amount equal to its income for the taxation year if no deduction were allowed under this subsection, section 65 or subsection 66.1(2), minus the deductions allowed for the year by sections 112 and 113.
A corporation (other than a principal-business corporation the principal business of which is described in paragraph (a) or (b) of the definition principal-business corporation in subsection 66(15)), whose principal business is the production or marketing of sodium chloride or potash or whose business includes manufacturing products the manufacturing of which involves processing sodium chloride or potash, may deduct, in computing its income for a taxation year, the drilling and exploration expenses incurred by it in the year and before May 7, 1974 on or in respect of exploring or drilling for halite or sylvite.
A taxpayer other than a principal-business corporation may deduct, in computing the taxpayer’s income for a taxation year, the total of the taxpayer’s Canadian exploration and development expenses to the extent that they were not deducted in computing the taxpayer’s income for a preceding taxation year.
A taxpayer who is resident throughout a taxation year in Canada may deduct, in computing the taxpayer’s income for that taxation year, the lesser of
the amount, if any, by which
the total of the foreign exploration and development expenses incurred by the taxpayer
before the end of the year,
at a time at which the taxpayer was resident in Canada, and
where the taxpayer became resident in Canada before the end of the year, after the last time (before the end of the year) that the taxpayer became resident in Canada,
such of the expenses described in subparagraph 66(4)(a)(i) as were deductible in computing the taxpayer’s income for a preceding taxation year, and
all amounts by which the amount described in this paragraph in respect of the taxpayer is required because of subsection 80(8) to be reduced at or before the end of the year, and
of that total, the greater of
the amount, if any, claimed by the taxpayer not exceeding 10% of the amount determined under paragraph (a) in respect of the taxpayer for the year, and
the total of
the part of the taxpayer’s income for the year, determined without reference to this subsection and subsection 66.21(4), that can reasonably be regarded as attributable to
the production of petroleum or natural gas from natural accumulations outside Canada or from oil or gas wells outside Canada, or
the production of minerals from mines outside Canada,
the taxpayer’s income for the year from royalties in respect of a natural accumulation of petroleum or natural gas outside Canada, an oil or gas well outside Canada or a mine outside Canada, determined without reference to this subsection and subsection 66.21(4), and
all amounts each of which is an amount, in respect of a foreign resource property that has been disposed of by the taxpayer, equal to the amount, if any, by which exceeds
the amount included in computing the taxpayer’s income for the year by reason of subsection 59(1) in respect of the disposition
the total of all amounts each of which is that portion of an amount deducted under subsection 66.7(2) in computing the taxpayer’s income for the year that can reasonably be considered to be in respect of the foreign resource property, and cannot reasonably be considered to have reduced the amount otherwise determined under clause (A) or (B) in respect of the taxpayer for the year.
For greater certainty, the portion of an amount deducted under subsection (4) in computing a taxpayer’s income for a taxation year that can reasonably be considered to be in respect of specified foreign exploration and development expenses of the taxpayer in respect of a country is considered to apply to a source in that country.
For the purpose of subsection (4.1), where a taxpayer has incurred specified foreign exploration and development expenses in respect of two or more countries, an allocation to each of those countries for a taxation year shall be determined in a manner that is
reasonable having regard to all the circumstances, including the level and timing of
the taxpayer’s specified foreign exploration and development expenses in respect of the country, and
the profits or gains to which those expenses relate; and
not inconsistent with the allocation made under subsection (4.1) for the preceding taxation year.
Where at any time in a taxation year an individual becomes or ceases to be resident in Canada,
subsection (4) applies to the individual as if the year were the period or periods in the year throughout which the individual was resident in Canada; and
for the purpose of applying subsection (4), subsection (13.1) does not apply to the individual for the year.
Subsections (3) and (4) and sections 59, 64, 66.1, 66.2, 66.21, 66.4 and 66.7 do not apply in computing the income for a taxation year of a taxpayer (other than a principal-business corporation) whose business includes trading or dealing in rights, licences or privileges to explore for, drill for or take minerals, petroleum, natural gas or other related hydrocarbons.
[Repealed, 1997, c. 25, s. 13(1)]
Where a taxpayer has, after April 19, 1983, made a payment or loan described in paragraph (a) of the definition agreed portion in subsection 66(15) to a joint exploration corporation in respect of which the corporation has at any time renounced in favour of the taxpayer any Canadian exploration expenses, Canadian development expenses or Canadian oil and gas property expenses (in this subsection referred to as “resource expenses”) under subsection 66(10.1), 66(10.2) or 66(10.3), the following rules apply:
where the taxpayer receives as consideration for the payment or loan property that is capital property to the taxpayer,
there shall be deducted in computing the adjusted cost base to the taxpayer of the property at any time the amount of any resource expenses renounced by the corporation in the taxpayer’s favour in respect of the loan or payment at or before that time,
there shall be deducted in computing the adjusted cost base to the taxpayer at any time of any property for which the property, or any property substituted therefor, was exchanged the amount of any resource expenses renounced by the corporation in the taxpayer’s favour in respect of the loan or payment at or before that time (except to the extent such amount has been deducted under subparagraph 66(10.4)(a)(i)), and
the amount of any resource expenses renounced by the corporation in favour of the taxpayer in respect of the loan or payment at any time, except to the extent that the renunciation of those expenses results in a deduction under subparagraph 66(10.4)(a)(i) or 66(10.4)(a)(ii), shall, for the purposes of this Act, be deemed to be a capital gain of the taxpayer from the disposition by the taxpayer of property at that time;
where the taxpayer receives as consideration for the payment or loan property that is not capital property to the taxpayer,
there shall be deducted in computing the cost to the taxpayer of the property at any time the amount of any resource expenses renounced by the corporation in the taxpayer’s favour in respect of the loan or payment at or before that time, and
there shall be included in computing the amount referred to in paragraph 59(3.2)(d) for a taxation year the amount of any resource expenses renounced by the corporation in the taxpayer’s favour in respect of the loan or payment at any time in the year, except to the extent that the amount has been deducted under subparagraph 66(10.4)(b)(i); and
where the taxpayer does not receive any property as consideration for the payment, there shall be included in computing the amount referred to in paragraph 59(3.2)(e) for a taxation year the amount of any resource expenses renounced by the corporation in the taxpayer’s favour in respect of the payment in the year, except to the extent that the amount has been deducted from the adjusted cost base to the taxpayer of shares of the corporation under paragraph 53(2)(f.1) in respect of the payment.
Where after March 31, 1977 and before November 13, 1981 control of a corporation has been acquired by a person or persons who did not control the corporation at the time when it last ceased to carry on active business,
the amount by which the Canadian exploration and development expenses incurred by the corporation before it last ceased to carry on active business exceeds the total of all amounts otherwise deductible by the corporation in respect of Canadian exploration and development expenses in computing its income for taxation years ending before control was so acquired, shall be deemed to have been deductible under this section by the corporation in computing its income for taxation years ending before control was so acquired;
the amount by which the cumulative Canadian exploration expense of the corporation at the time it last ceased to carry on active business exceeds the total of amounts otherwise deducted under section 66.1 in computing its income for taxation years ending after that time and before control was so acquired, shall be deemed to have been deducted under that section by the corporation in computing its income for taxation years ending before control was so acquired;
the amount by which the cumulative Canadian development expense of the corporation at the time it last ceased to carry on active business exceeds the total of amounts otherwise deducted under section 66.2 in computing its income for taxation years ending after that time and before control was so acquired, shall be deemed to have been deducted under that section by the corporation in computing its income for taxation years ending before control was so acquired;
the amount by which the cumulative Canadian oil and gas property expense of the corporation at the time it last ceased to carry on active business exceeds the total of amounts otherwise deducted under section 66.4 in computing its income for taxation years ending after that time and before control was so acquired, shall be deemed to have been deducted under that section by the corporation in computing its income for taxation years ending before control was so acquired; and
the amount by which the foreign exploration and development expenses incurred by the corporation before it last ceased to carry on active business exceeds the total of all amounts otherwise deductible by the corporation in respect of foreign exploration and development expenses in computing its income for taxation years ending before control was so acquired, shall be deemed to have been deductible under this section by the corporation in computing its income for taxation years ending before control was so acquired.
For the purposes of subsections 66(11) and 66.7(10), where a corporation acquired control of another corporation after November 12, 1981 and before 1983 by reason of the acquisition of shares of the other corporation pursuant to an agreement in writing concluded on or before November 12, 1981, it shall be deemed to have acquired that control on or before November 12, 1981.
If
at any time a taxpayer is subject to a loss restriction event,
within the 12-month period that ended immediately before that time, the taxpayer, a partnership of which the taxpayer was a majority-interest partner or a trust of which the taxpayer was a majority-interest beneficiary (as defined in subsection 251.1(3)) acquired a Canadian resource property or a foreign resource property (other than a property that was held, by the taxpayer, partnership or trust or by a person that would be affiliated with the taxpayer if section 251.1 were read without reference to the definition controlled in subsection 251.1(3), throughout the period that began immediately before the 12-month period began and ended at the time the property was acquired by the taxpayer, partnership or trust), and
immediately before the 12-month period began the taxpayer, partnership or trust was not, or would not be if it were a corporation, a principal-business corporation,
For the purposes of subsection (11.4), if the taxpayer referred to in that subsection was formed or created in the 12-month period referred to in that subsection, the taxpayer is deemed to have been, throughout the period that began immediately before the 12-month period and ended immediately after it was formed or created,
in existence; and
affiliated with every person with whom it was affiliated (otherwise than because of a right referred to in paragraph 251(5)(b)) throughout the period that began when it was formed or created and that ended immediately before the time at which the taxpayer was subject to the loss restriction event referred to in that subsection.
If at any time a trust is subject to a loss restriction event,
for the purposes of the provisions of this Act relating to deductions in respect of drilling and exploration expenses, prospecting, exploration and development expenses, Canadian exploration and development expenses, foreign resource pool expenses, Canadian exploration expenses, Canadian development expenses and Canadian oil and gas property expenses (in this subsection referred to as “resource expenses”) incurred by the trust before that time, the following rules apply:
the trust is (other than for purposes of this subsection and subsections (11.4), (11.5) and 66.7(10) to (11)) deemed to be a corporation that
after that time is a successor (within the meaning assigned by any of subsections 66.7(1), (2) and (2.3) to (5)), and
at that time, acquired all the properties held by the trust immediately before that time from an original owner of those properties,
if the trust did not hold a foreign resource property immediately before that time, the trust is deemed to have owned a foreign resource property immediately before that time,
a joint election is deemed to have been filed in accordance with subsections 66.7(7) and (8) in respect of the acquisition described in clause (i)(B),
the resource expenses incurred by the trust before that time are deemed to have been incurred by an original owner of the properties and not by the trust,
the original owner is deemed to have been resident in Canada at every time before that time at which the trust was resident in Canada,
if at that time the trust is a member of a partnership and the property of the partnership includes a Canadian resource property or a foreign resource property,
for the purposes of clause (i)(B), the trust is deemed to have held immediately before that time that portion of the partnership’s property at that time that is equal to the trust’s percentage share of the total of amounts that would be paid to all members of the partnership if it were wound up at that time, and
for the purposes of clauses 66.7(1)(b)(i)(C) and (2)(b)(i)(B), subparagraph 66.7(2.3)(b)(i) and clauses 66.7(3)(b)(i)(C), (4)(b)(i)(B) and (5)(b)(i)(B) for a taxation year that ends after that time, the lesser of the following amounts is deemed to be income of the trust for the year that can reasonably be regarded as attributable to production from the property:
the trust’s share of the part of the income of the partnership for the fiscal period of the partnership that ends in the year that can reasonably be regarded as attributable to the production from the property, and
an amount that would be determined under subclause (I) for the year if the trust’s share of the income of the partnership for the fiscal period of the partnership that ends in the year were determined on the basis of the percentage share referred to in clause (A), and
if after that time the trust disposes of property that was at that time held by the trust to another person, subsections 66.7(1) to (5) do not apply in respect of the acquisition by the other person of the property; and
if before that time, the trust or a partnership of which the trust was a member acquired a property that is a Canadian resource property, a foreign resource property or an interest in a partnership and it can reasonably be considered that one of the main purposes of the acquisition is to avoid any limitation provided in any of subsections 66.7(1) to (5) on the deduction in respect of any expenses incurred by the trust, then the trust or the partnership, as the case may be, is deemed, for the purposes of applying those subsections to or in respect of the trust, not to have acquired the property.
In computing a taxpayer’s Canadian exploration and development expenses,
there shall be deducted any amount paid to the taxpayer before May 7, 1974
and after 1971 under the Northern Mineral Exploration Assistance Regulations made under an appropriation Act that provides for payments in respect of the Northern Mineral Grants Program, or
pursuant to any agreement entered into between the taxpayer and Her Majesty in right of Canada under the Northern Mineral Grants Program or the Development Program of the Department of Indian Affairs and Northern Development, to the extent that the amount has been expended by the taxpayer as or on account of Canadian exploration and development expenses incurred by the taxpayer; and
there shall be included any amount, except an amount in respect of interest, paid by the taxpayer after 1971 and before May 7, 1974 under the Regulations referred to in subparagraph 66(12)(a)(i) to Her Majesty in right of Canada.
Except as expressly otherwise provided in this Act,
if as a result of a transaction occurring after May 6, 1974 an amount has become receivable by a taxpayer at a particular time in a taxation year and the consideration given by the taxpayer therefor was property (other than a share or a Canadian resource property, or an interest in or a right to — or, for civil law, a right in or to — the share or the property) or services, the original cost of which to the taxpayer may reasonably be regarded as having been primarily Canadian exploration and development expenses of the taxpayer (or would have been so regarded if they had been incurred by the taxpayer after 1971 and before May 7, 1974) or a Canadian exploration expense, there shall at that time be included in the amount determined for G in the definition cumulative Canadian exploration expense in subsection 66.1(6) in respect of the taxpayer the amount that became receivable by the taxpayer at that time; and
if as a result of a transaction occurring after May 6, 1974 an amount has become receivable by a taxpayer at a particular time in a taxation year and the consideration given by the taxpayer therefor was property (other than a share or a Canadian resource property, or an interest in or a right to — or, for civil law, a right in or to — the share or the property) or services, the original cost of which to the taxpayer may reasonably be regarded as having been primarily a Canadian development expense, there shall at that time be included in the amount determined for G in the definition cumulative Canadian development expense in subsection 66.2(5) in respect of the taxpayer the amount that became receivable by the taxpayer at that time.
Where, pursuant to an agreement between a taxpayer and another person to unitize an oil or gas field in Canada, an amount has become receivable by the taxpayer at a particular time after May 6, 1974 from that other person in respect of Canadian exploration expense incurred by the taxpayer or Canadian exploration and development expenses incurred by the taxpayer (or expenses that would have been Canadian exploration and development expenses if they had been incurred by the taxpayer after 1971 and before May 7, 1974) in respect of that field or any part thereof, the following rules apply:
there shall, at that time, be included by the taxpayer in the amount determined for G in the definition cumulative Canadian exploration expense in subsection 66.1(6) the amount that became receivable by the taxpayer; and
there shall, at that time, be included by the other person in the amount referred to in paragraph (c) of the definition Canadian exploration expense in subsection 66.1(6) the amount that became payable by that person.
Where, pursuant to an agreement between a taxpayer and another person to unitize an oil or gas field in Canada, an amount has become receivable by the taxpayer at a particular time after May 6, 1974 from that other person in respect of Canadian development expense incurred by the taxpayer in respect of that field or any part thereof, the following rules apply:
there shall, at that time, be included by the taxpayer in the amount determined for G in the definition cumulative Canadian development expense in subsection 66.2(5) the amount that became receivable by the taxpayer; and
there shall, at that time, be included by the other person in the amount referred to in paragraph (a) of the definition Canadian development expense in subsection 66.2(5) the amount that became payable by that person.
Where, as a result of a transaction that occurs after May 6, 1974, an amount becomes receivable by a taxpayer at a particular time in a taxation year and the consideration given by the taxpayer for the amount receivable is property (other than a foreign resource property) or services, the original cost of which to the taxpayer can reasonably be regarded as having been primarily foreign exploration and development expenses of the taxpayer (or would have been so regarded if they had been incurred by the taxpayer after 1971 and the definition foreign exploration and development expenses in subsection (15) were read without reference to paragraph (k) of that definition), the following rules apply:
in computing the taxpayer’s foreign exploration and development expenses at that time, there shall be deducted the amount receivable by the taxpayer;
where the amount receivable exceeds the total of the taxpayer’s foreign exploration and development expenses incurred before that time to the extent that those expenses were not deducted or deductible, as the case may be, in computing the taxpayer’s income for a preceding taxation year, there shall be included in the amount referred to in paragraph 59(3.2)(a) the amount, if any, by which the amount receivable exceeds the total of
the taxpayer’s foreign exploration and development expenses incurred before that time to the extent that those expenses were not deducted or deductible, as the case may be, in computing the taxpayer’s income for a preceding taxation year, and
the amount, designated by the taxpayer in prescribed form filed with the taxpayer’s return of income for the year, not exceeding the portion of the amount receivable for which the consideration given by the taxpayer was property (other than a foreign resource property) or services, the original cost of which to the taxpayer can reasonably be regarded as having been primarily
specified foreign exploration and development expenses in respect of a country, or
foreign resource expenses in respect of a country; and
where an amount is included in the amount referred to in paragraph 59(3.2)(a) by virtue of paragraph 66(12.4)(b), the total of the taxpayer’s foreign exploration and development expenses at that time shall be deemed to be nil.
Where a particular amount described in subsection (12.4) becomes receivable by a taxpayer at a particular time, there shall at that time be included in the value determined for G in the definition cumulative foreign resource expense in subsection 66.21(1) in respect of the taxpayer and a country the amount designated under subparagraph (12.4)(b)(ii) by the taxpayer in respect of the particular amount and the country.
For the purposes of subsections (12.4) and (12.41), where a person or partnership is a member of a particular partnership and a particular amount described in subsection (12.4) becomes receivable by the particular partnership in a fiscal period of the particular partnership,
the member’s share of the particular amount is deemed to be an amount that became receivable by the member at the end of the fiscal period; and
the amount deemed by paragraph (a) to be an amount receivable by the member is deemed to be an amount
that is described in subsection (12.4) in respect of the member, and
that has the same attributes for the member as it did for the particular partnership.
Where, pursuant to an agreement between a taxpayer and another person to unitize an oil or gas field in Canada, an amount has become receivable by the taxpayer at a particular time from that other person in respect of Canadian oil and gas property expense incurred by the taxpayer in respect of that field or any part thereof, the following rules apply:
there shall, at that time, be included by the taxpayer in the amount determined for G in the definition cumulative Canadian oil and gas property expense in subsection 66.4(5) the amount that became receivable by the taxpayer; and
there shall, at that time, be included by the other person in the amount referred to in paragraph (a) of the definition Canadian oil and gas property expense in subsection 66.4(5) the amount that became payable by that person.
If a person gave consideration under an agreement to a corporation for the issue of a flow-through share of the corporation and, in the period that begins on the day on which the agreement was made and ends 24 months after the end of the month that includes that day, the corporation incurred Canadian exploration expenses (other than an expense deemed by subsection 66.1(9) to be a Canadian exploration expense of the corporation), the corporation may, after it complies with subsection (12.68) in respect of the share and before March of the first calendar year that begins after the period, renounce, effective on the day on which the renunciation is made or on an earlier day set out in the form prescribed for the purpose of subsection (12.7), to the person in respect of the share the amount, if any, by which the portion of those expenses that was incurred on or before the effective date of the renunciation (which portion is in this subsection referred to as the “specified expenses”) exceeds the total of
the assistance that the corporation has received, is entitled to receive or can reasonably be expected to receive at any time, and that can reasonably be related to the specified expenses or to Canadian exploration activities to which the specified expenses relate (other than assistance that can reasonably be related to expenses referred to in paragraph 66(12.6)(b) or 66(12.6)(b.1)),
all specified expenses that are prescribed Canadian exploration and development overhead expenses of the corporation,
all specified expenses each of which is a cost of, or for the use of, seismic data
that had been acquired (otherwise than as a consequence of performing work that resulted in the creation of the data) by any other person before the cost was incurred,
in respect of which a right to use had been acquired by any other person before the cost was incurred, or
all or substantially all of which resulted from work performed more than one year before the cost was incurred, and
the total of amounts that are renounced on or before the date on which the renunciation is made by any other renunciation under this subsection in respect of those expenses,
exceeding the amount, if any, by which the consideration for the share exceeds the total of other amounts renounced under this subsection or subsection 66(12.601) or 66(12.62) in respect of the share on or before the day on which the renunciation is made, or
exceeding the amount, if any, by which the cumulative Canadian exploration expense of the corporation on the effective date of the renunciation computed before taking into account any amounts renounced under this subsection on the date on which the renunciation is made, exceeds the total of all amounts renounced under this subsection in respect of any other share
on the date on which the renunciation is made, and
effective on or before the effective date of the renunciation.
Where
a person gave consideration under an agreement to a corporation for the issue of a flow-through share of the corporation,
the corporation’s taxable capital amount at the time the consideration was given was not more than $15,000,000, and
during the period beginning on the later of December 3, 1992 and the particular day the agreement was entered into and ending on the day that is 24 months after the end of the month that included that particular day, the corporation incurred Canadian development expenses described in paragraph (a) or (b) of the definition Canadian development expense in subsection 66.2(5) or that would be described in paragraph (f) of that definition if the words “paragraphs 66(12.601)(a) to 66(12.601)(e)” in that paragraph were read as “paragraphs 66(12.601)(a) and 66(12.601)(b)”,
the assistance that the corporation has received, is entitled to receive, or can reasonably be expected to receive at any time, and that can reasonably be related to the specified expenses or Canadian development activities to which the specified expenses relate (other than assistance that can reasonably be related to expenses referred to in paragraph 66(12.601)(d)),
all specified expenses that are prescribed Canadian exploration and development overhead expenses of the corporation, and
all amounts that are renounced on or before the day on which the renunciation is made by any other renunciation under this subsection or subsection 66(12.62) in respect of those expenses.
For the purpose of subsection 66(12.601), a particular corporation’s taxable capital amount at any time is the total of
its taxable capital employed in Canada for its last taxation year that ended more than 30 days before that time, and
the total of all amounts each of which is the taxable capital employed in Canada of another corporation associated at that time with the particular corporation for the other corporation’s last taxation year that ended more than 30 days before that time.
For the purpose of determining a corporation’s taxable capital amount at a particular time under subsection 66(12.6011) and for the purpose of subsection 66(12.6013), a particular corporation’s taxable capital employed in Canada for a taxation year is the amount that would be its taxable capital employed in Canada for the year, determined in accordance with subsection 181.2(1) and without reference to the portion of its investment allowance (as determined under subsection 181.2(4)) that is attributable to shares of the capital stock of, dividends payable by, or indebtedness of, another corporation that
was not associated with the particular corporation at the particular time; and
was associated with the particular corporation at the end of the particular corporation’s last taxation year that ended more than 30 days before that time.
For the purpose of determining the taxable capital amount at a particular time under subsection 66(12.6011) of any corporation and for the purpose of this subsection, a particular corporation that was created as a consequence of an amalgamation or merger of other corporations (each of which is in this subsection referred to as a “predecessor corporation”), and that does not have a taxation year that ended more than 30 days before the particular time, is deemed to have taxable capital employed in Canada for a taxation year that ended more than 30 days before the particular time equal to the total of all amounts each of which is the taxable capital employed in Canada of a predecessor corporation for its last taxation year that ended more than 30 days before the particular time.
A corporation shall be deemed not to have renounced any particular amount under subsection 66(12.601) in respect of a share where
the particular amount exceeds the amount, if any, by which the consideration for the share exceeds the total of other amounts renounced in respect of the share under subsection 66(12.6), 66(12.601) or 66(12.62) on or before the day on which the renunciation is made;
the particular amount exceeds the amount, if any, by which
the cumulative Canadian development expense of the corporation on the effective date of the renunciation, computed before taking into account any amounts renounced under subsection 66(12.601) on the day on which the renunciation is made,
the total of all amounts renounced under subsection 66(12.601) by the corporation in respect of any other share
on the day on which the renunciation is made, and
effective on or before the effective date of the renunciation; or
the particular amount relates Canadian development expenses incurred by the corporation in a calendar year and the total amounts renounced, on or before the day on which the renunciation is made, under subsection 66(12.601) in respect of

the new corporation’s share of the part of the income of the partnership for fiscal periods of the partnership that end in the year that can reasonably be regarded as being attributable to production from those properties, and
the amount that would be determined under subparagraph (i) for the year if the new corporation’s share of the income of the partnership for the fiscal periods of the partnership that end in the year were determined on the basis of the percentage share referred to in paragraph (a).

Where there is an amalgamation or merger of a corporation with one or more other corporations to form one corporate entity (in this subsection referred to as the “new corporation”), each property of the corporation that becomes property of the new corporation as a result of the amalgamation or merger is deemed, for the purpose of determining whether subsection 69(11) applies to the amalgamation or merger, to have been disposed of by the corporation immediately before the amalgamation or merger for proceeds equal to
in the case of a Canadian resource property or a foreign resource property, nil; and
in the case of any other property, the cost amount to the corporation of the property immediately before the amalgamation or merger.
For the purpose of subsection 69(11), where a taxpayer is incorporated or otherwise comes into existence at a particular time during a series of transactions or events, the taxpayer is deemed
to have existed at the time that was immediately before the series began; and
to have been affiliated at that time with every person with whom the taxpayer is affiliated (otherwise than because of a right referred to in paragraph 251(5)(b)) at the particular time.
In computing the income of a taxpayer for the taxation year in which the taxpayer died,
an amount of interest, rent, royalty, annuity (other than an amount with respect to an interest in an annuity contract to which paragraph 148(2)(b) applies), remuneration from an office or employment, or other amount payable periodically, that was not paid before the taxpayer’s death, shall be deemed to have accrued in equal daily amounts in the period for or in respect of which the amount was payable, and the value of the portion thereof so deemed to have accrued to the day of death shall be included in computing the taxpayer’s income for the year in which the taxpayer died; and
paragraph 12(1)(t) shall be read as follows:
the amount deducted under subsection 127(5) or 127(6) in computing the taxpayer’s tax payable for the year or a preceding taxation year to the extent that it was not included in computing the taxpayer’s income for a preceding taxation year under this paragraph or is not included in an amount determined under paragraph 13(7.1)(e) or 37(1)(e) or subparagraph 53(2)(c)(vi) or 53(2)(h)(ii) or for I in the definition undepreciated capital cost in subsection 13(21) or L in the definition cumulative Canadian exploration expense in subsection 66.1(6);”
If a taxpayer who has died had at the time of death rights or things (other than any capital property or any amount included in computing the taxpayer’s income by virtue of subsection (1)), the amount of which when realized or disposed of would have been included in computing the taxpayer’s income, the value of the rights or things at the time of death shall be included in computing the taxpayer’s income for the taxation year in which the taxpayer died, unless the taxpayer’s legal representative has, not later than the later of the day that is one year after the date of death of the taxpayer and the day that is 90 days after the sending of any notice of assessment in respect of the tax of the taxpayer for the year of death, elected otherwise, in which case the legal representative shall file a separate return of income for the year under this Part and pay the tax for the year under this Part as if
the taxpayer were another person;
that other person’s only income for the year were the value of the rights or things; and
subject to sections 114.2 and 118.93, that other person were entitled to the deductions to which the taxpayer was entitled under sections 110, 118 to 118.7 and 118.9 for the year in computing the taxpayer’s taxable income or tax payable under this Part, as the case may be, for the year.
Where before the time for making an election under subsection 70(2) has expired, a right or thing to which that subsection would otherwise apply has been transferred or distributed to beneficiaries or other persons beneficially interested in the estate or trust,
subsection 70(2) is not applicable to that right or thing; and
an amount received by one of the beneficiaries or persons on the realization or disposition of the right or thing shall be included in computing the income of the beneficiary or person for the taxation year in which the beneficiary or person received it.
For the purposes of this section, rights or things do not include an interest in a life insurance policy (other than an annuity contract of a taxpayer where the payment therefor was deductible in computing the taxpayer’s income because of paragraph 60(l) or was made in circumstances in which subsection 146(21) applied), eligible capital property, land included in the inventory of a business, a Canadian resource property or a foreign resource property.
An election made under subsection 70(2) may be revoked by a notice of revocation signed by the legal representative of the taxpayer and filed with the Minister within the time that an election under that subsection may be made.
Where in a taxation year a taxpayer dies,
the taxpayer shall be deemed to have, immediately before the taxpayer’s death, disposed of each capital property of the taxpayer and received proceeds of disposition therefor equal to the fair market value of the property immediately before the death;
any person who as a consequence of the taxpayer’s death acquires any property that is deemed by paragraph 70(5)(a) to have been disposed of by the taxpayer shall be deemed to have acquired it at the time of the death at a cost equal to its fair market value immediately before the death;
where any depreciable property of the taxpayer of a prescribed class that is deemed by paragraph 70(5)(a) to have been disposed of is acquired by any person as a consequence of the taxpayer’s death (other than where the taxpayer’s proceeds of disposition of the property under paragraph 70(5)(a) are redetermined under subsection 13(21.1)) and the amount that was the capital cost to the taxpayer of the property exceeds the amount determined under paragraph 70(5)(b) to be the cost to the person thereof, for the purposes of sections 13 and 20 and any regulations made for the purpose of paragraph 20(1)(a),
the capital cost to the person of the property shall be deemed to be the amount that was the capital cost to the taxpayer of the property, and
the excess shall be deemed to have been allowed to the person in respect of the property under regulations made for the purpose of paragraph 20(1)(a) in computing income for taxation years that ended before the person acquired the property; and
where a property of the taxpayer that was deemed by paragraph 70(5)(a) to have been disposed of is acquired by any person as a consequence of the taxpayer’s death and the taxpayer’s proceeds of disposition of the property under paragraph 70(5)(a) are redetermined under subsection 13(21.1), notwithstanding paragraph 70(5)(b),
where the property was depreciable property of a prescribed class and the amount that was the capital cost to the taxpayer of the property exceeds the amount so redetermined under subsection 13(21.1), for the purposes of sections 13 and 20 and any regulations made for the purpose of paragraph 20(1)(a),
its capital cost to the person shall be deemed to be the amount that was its capital cost to the taxpayer, and
the excess shall be deemed to have been allowed to the person in respect of the property under regulations made for the purpose of paragraph 20(1)(a) in computing income for taxation years that ended before the person acquired the property, and
where the property is land (other than land to which subparagraph 70(5)(d)(i) applies), its cost to the person shall be deemed to be the amount that was the taxpayer’s proceeds of disposition of the land as redetermined under subsection 13(21.1).
Notwithstanding subsection 24(1), where at any time a taxpayer dies and any person (in this subsection referred to as the beneficiary), as a consequence of the taxpayer’s death, acquires an eligible capital property of the taxpayer in respect of a business carried on by the taxpayer immediately before that time (otherwise than by way of a distribution of property by a trust that claimed a deduction under paragraph 20(1)(b) in respect of the property or in circumstances to which subsection 24(2) applies),
the taxpayer shall be deemed to have disposed of the property, immediately before the taxpayer’s death, for proceeds equal to 4/3 of that proportion of the cumulative eligible capital of the taxpayer in respect of the business that the fair market value immediately before that time of the property is of the fair market value immediately before that time of all of the eligible capital property of the taxpayer in respect of the business;
subject to paragraph 70(5.1)(c), the beneficiary shall be deemed to have acquired a capital property at the time of the taxpayer’s death at a cost equal to the proceeds referred to in paragraph 70(5.1)(a);
where the beneficiary continues to carry on the business previously carried on by the taxpayer, the beneficiary shall be deemed to have, at the time of the taxpayer’s death, acquired an eligible capital property and made an eligible capital expenditure at a cost equal to the total of
4/3 of that proportion of the amount, if any, determined for F in the definition cumulative eligible capital in subsection 14(5) in respect of the business of the taxpayer at that time that the fair market value immediately before that time of the particular property is of the fair market value immediately before that time of all eligible capital property of the taxpayer in respect of the business,
the proceeds referred to in paragraph 70(5.1)(a), and
for the purpose of determining, after that time, the amount required by paragraph 14(1)(b) to be included in computing the income of the beneficiary in respect of any subsequent disposition of the property of the business, there shall be added to the amount determined for Q in the definition cumulative eligible capital in subsection 14(5) the amount determined by the formula A × B/C where A is the amount, if any, determined for Q in that definition in respect of the business of the taxpayer immediately before that time, B is the fair market value immediately before that time of the particular property, and C is the fair market value immediately before that time of all eligible capital property of the taxpayer in respect of the business.
If in a taxation year a taxpayer dies,
the taxpayer is deemed
to have disposed, at the time that is immediately before the taxpayer’s death, of each
Canadian resource property of the taxpayer,
foreign resource property of the taxpayer, and
property that was land included in the inventory of a business of the taxpayer, and
subject to paragraph (c), to have received at that time proceeds of disposition for each such property equal to its fair market value at that time;
any person who, as a consequence of the taxpayer’s death, acquires a property that is deemed by paragraph (a) to have been disposed of by the taxpayer is, subject to paragraph (c), deemed to have acquired the property at the time of the death at a cost equal to its fair market value at the time that is immediately before the death; and
where the taxpayer was resident in Canada at the time that is immediately before the taxpayer’s death, a particular property described in clause (a)(i)(A), (B) or (C) is, on or after the death and as a consequence of the death, transferred or distributed to a spouse or common-law partner of the taxpayer described in paragraph (6)(a) or a trust described in paragraph (6)(b), and it can be shown within the period that ends 36 months after the death (or, where written application has been made to the Minister by the taxpayer’s legal representative within that period, within any longer period that the Minister considers reasonable in the circumstances) that the particular property has, within that period, vested indefeasibly in the spouse, common-law partner or trust, as the case may be,
the taxpayer is deemed to have received, at the time that is immediately before the taxpayer’s death, proceeds of disposition of the particular property equal to
if the particular property is Canadian resource property of the taxpayer or foreign resource property of the taxpayer, the amount specified by the taxpayer’s legal representative in the taxpayer’s return of income filed under paragraph 150(1)(b), not exceeding its fair market value at that time, and
if the particular property was land included in the inventory of a business of the taxpayer, its cost amount to the taxpayer at that time, and
the spouse, common-law partner or trust, as the case may be, is deemed to have acquired at the time of the death the particular property at a cost equal to the amount determined under subparagraph (i) in respect of the disposition of it under paragraph (a).
For the purposes of subsections (5) and 104(4) and section 128.1, the fair market value at any time of any property deemed to have been disposed of at that time as a consequence of a particular individual’s death or as a consequence of the particular individual becoming or ceasing to be resident in Canada shall be determined as though the fair market value at that time of any life insurance policy, under which the particular individual (or any other individual not dealing at arm’s length with the particular individual at that time or at the time the policy was issued) was a person whose life was insured, were the cash surrender value (as defined in subsection 148(9)) of the policy immediately before the particular individual died or became or ceased to be resident in Canada, as the case may be.
For the purposes of subsections (5) and 104(4), the fair market value at any time of any property deemed to have been disposed of at that time as a consequence of a particular individual’s death is to be determined as though the fair market value at that time of any annuity contract were the total of all amounts each of which is the amount of a premium paid on or before that time under the contract if
the contract is, in respect of an LIA policy, a contract referred to in subparagraph (b)(ii) of the definition LIA policy in subsection 248(1); and
the particular individual is the individual, in respect of the LIA policy, referred to in that subparagraph.
Where a taxpayer who dies has at the time of death a net income stabilization account, all amounts held for or on behalf of the taxpayer in the taxpayer’s NISA Fund No. 2 shall be deemed to have been paid out of that fund to the taxpayer immediately before that time.
Where any property of a taxpayer who was resident in Canada immediately before the taxpayer’s death that is a property to which subsection 70(5) would otherwise apply is, as a consequence of the death, transferred or distributed to
the taxpayer’s spouse or common-law partner who was resident in Canada immediately before the taxpayer’s death, or
a trust, created by the taxpayer’s will, that was resident in Canada immediately after the time the property vested indefeasibly in the trust and under which
the taxpayer’s spouse or common-law partner is entitled to receive all of the income of the trust that arises before the spouse’s or common-law partner’s death, and
no person except the spouse or common-law partner may, before the spouse’s or common-law partner’s death, receive or otherwise obtain the use of any of the income or capital of the trust,
paragraphs 70(5)(a) and 70(5)(b) do not apply in respect of the property,
subject to paragraph 70(6)(d.1), the taxpayer shall be deemed to have, immediately before the taxpayer’s death, disposed of the property and received proceeds of disposition therefor equal to
where the property was depreciable property of a prescribed class, the lesser of the capital cost and the cost amount to the taxpayer of the property immediately before the death, and
in any other case, its adjusted cost base to the taxpayer immediately before the death,
where the property is an interest in a partnership (other than an interest in a partnership to which subsection 100(3) applies),
the taxpayer shall, except for the purposes of paragraph 98(5)(g), be deemed not to have disposed of the property as a consequence of the taxpayer’s death,
the spouse or common-law partner or the trust, as the case may be, shall be deemed to have acquired the property at the time of the death at a cost equal to its cost to the taxpayer, and
each amount added or deducted in computing the adjusted cost base to the taxpayer of the property shall be deemed to be required by subsection 53(1) or 53(2) to be added or deducted, as the case may be, in computing the adjusted cost base to the spouse or common-law partner or the trust, as the case may be, of the property; and
where the property was depreciable property of the taxpayer of a prescribed class, paragraph (5)(c) applies as if the references therein to “paragraph 70(6)(a)” and to “paragraph 70(6)(b)” were read as references to “paragraph 70(6)(d)”.
Where a property that is a net income stabilization account of a taxpayer is, on or after the taxpayer’s death and as a consequence thereof, transferred or distributed to
the taxpayer’s spouse or common-law partner, or
a trust, created by the taxpayer’s will, under which
the taxpayer’s spouse or common-law partner is entitled to receive all of the income of the trust that arises before the spouse’s or common-law partner’s death, and
no person except the spouse or common-law partner may, before the spouse’s or common-law partner’s death, receive or otherwise obtain the use of any of the income or capital of the trust,
Subsection 70(6) or 70(6.1) does not apply to any property of a deceased taxpayer in respect of which the taxpayer’s legal representative elects, in the taxpayer’s return of income under this Part (other than a return of income filed under subsection 70(2) or 104(23), paragraph 128(2)(e) or subsection 150(4)) for the year in which the taxpayer died, to have subsection 70(5) or 70(5.4), as the case may be, apply.
Where a trust created by a taxpayer’s will would, but for the payment of, or provision for payment of, any particular testamentary debts in respect of the taxpayer, be a trust to which subsection 70(6) or 70(6.1) applies,
for the purpose of determining the day on or before which a return (in this subsection referred to as the “taxpayer’s return”) of the taxpayer’s income for the taxation year in which the taxpayer died is required to be filed by the taxpayer’s legal representatives, subsection 150(1) shall be read without reference to paragraph 150(1)(b) and as if paragraph 150(1)(d) read as follows:
in the case of any other person, by the person’s legal representative within 18 months after the person’s death; or;” and
where the taxpayer’s legal representative so elects in the taxpayer’s return (other than a return of income filed under subsection 70(2) or 104(23), paragraph 128(2)(e) or subsection 150(4)) and lists therein one or more properties (other than a net income stabilization account) that were, on or after the taxpayer’s death and as a consequence thereof, transferred or distributed to the trust, the total fair market value of which properties immediately after the taxpayer’s death was not less than the total of the non-qualifying debts in respect of the taxpayer,
subsection 70(6) does not apply in respect of the properties so listed, and
notwithstanding the payment of, or provision for payment of, any such particular testamentary debts, the trust shall be deemed to be a trust described in subsection 70(6),
the amount of the taxpayer’s capital gain or capital loss, as the case may be, from the disposition of that property deemed by subsection 70(5) to have been made by the taxpayer is that proportion of that capital gain or capital loss otherwise determined that is of
the amount, if any, by which the fair market value of that property immediately after the taxpayer’s death exceeds the listed value excess,
the fair market value of that property immediately after the taxpayer’s death, and
the cost to the trust of that property is
where the taxpayer has a capital gain from the disposition of that property deemed by subsection 70(5) to have been made by the taxpayer, the total of
its adjusted cost base to the taxpayer immediately before the taxpayer’s death, and
the amount determined under subparagraph 70(7)(b)(iii) to be the taxpayer’s capital gain from the disposition of that property, or
where the taxpayer has a capital loss from the disposition of that property deemed by subsection 70(5) to have been made by the taxpayer, the amount by which exceeds
its adjusted cost base to the taxpayer immediately before the taxpayer’s death
the amount determined under subparagraph 70(7)(b)(iii) to be the taxpayer’s capital loss from the disposition of that property.
In subsection 70(7),
the fair market value at any time of any property subject to a mortgage or hypothec is the amount, if any, by which the fair market value at that time of the property otherwise determined exceeds the amount outstanding at that time of the debt secured by the mortgage or hypothec, as the case may be;
non-qualifying debt in respect of a taxpayer who has died and by whose will any trust has been created that would, but for the payment of, or provision for payment of, any particular testamentary debts in respect of the taxpayer, be a trust described in subsection 70(6), means any such particular testamentary debt in respect of the taxpayer other than
any estate, legacy, succession or inheritance duty payable, in consequence of the taxpayer’s death, in respect of any property of, or interest in, the trust, or
any debt secured by a mortgage or hypothec on property owned by the taxpayer immediately before the taxpayer’s death; and
testamentary debt, in respect of a taxpayer who has died, means
any debt owing by the taxpayer, or any other obligation of the taxpayer to pay an amount, that was outstanding immediately before the taxpayer’s death, and
any amount payable (other than any amount payable to any person as a beneficiary of the taxpayer’s estate) by the taxpayer’s estate in consequence of the taxpayer’s death,
Subsection (9.01) applies to a taxpayer and a child of the taxpayer in respect of land in Canada or depreciable property in Canada of a prescribed class of the taxpayer in respect of which subsection (5) would, if this Act were read without reference to this subsection, apply if
the property was, before the death of the taxpayer, used principally in a fishing or farming business carried on in Canada in which the taxpayer, the spouse or common-law partner of the taxpayer or a child or a parent of the taxpayer was actively engaged on a regular and continuous basis (or, in the case of property used in the operation of a woodlot, was engaged to the extent required by a prescribed forest management plan in respect of that woodlot);
the child of the taxpayer was resident in Canada immediately before the day on which the taxpayer died; and
as a consequence of the death of the taxpayer, the property is transferred to and becomes vested indefeasibly in the child within the period ending 36 months after the death of the taxpayer or, if written application has been made to the Minister by the taxpayer’s legal representative within that period, within any longer period that the Minister considers reasonable in the circumstances.
If, because of subsection (9), this subsection applies to the taxpayer and a child of the taxpayer in respect of a property of the taxpayer that has been transferred to the child as a consequence of the death of the taxpayer, the following rules apply:
where the taxpayer’s legal representative does not elect in the taxpayer’s return of income under this Part for the year in which the taxpayer died, to have paragraph (b) apply to the taxpayer and the child in respect of the property,

where the property was depreciable property of a prescribed class, paragraphs (5)(c) and (d) apply to the taxpayer in respect of the property as if the references in those paragraphs to “paragraph (a)” and “paragraph (b)” were read as “subparagraph (9.01)(b)(ii)” and “subparagraph (9.01)(b)(iii)”, respectively,
except for the purpose of this subparagraph,
where the amount designated by the taxpayer’s legal representative under subclause (ii)(B)(I), exceeds the greater of the amounts determined under sub-subclauses (ii)(B)(I)1 and 2 in respect of the property, the amount designated is deemed to be equal to the greater of those amounts, and

Subsection (9.11) applies to a trust and a child of the settlor of the trust in respect of a property in respect of which subsection 104(4) or (5) would, if this Act were read without reference to this subsection, apply to the trust as a consequence of the death of the beneficiary under the trust who was a spouse or a common-law partner of the settlor if
the property (or property for which the property was substituted) was transferred to the trust by the settlor;

the property is, immediately before the beneficiary’s death, land or a depreciable property of a prescribed class of the trust that was used in a fishing or farming business carried on in Canada;
the child of the settlor is, immediately before the beneficiary’s death, resident in Canada; and
as a consequence of the beneficiary’s death, the property is transferred to and becomes vested indefeasibly in the child of the settlor within the period ending 36 months after that beneficiary’s death or, if written application has been made to the Minister by the taxpayer’s legal representative within that period, within any longer period that the Minister considers reasonable in the circumstances.
If, because of subsection (9.1), this subsection applies to the trust and a child of the settlor of the trust in respect of a property of the trust that has been distributed to the child as a consequence of the death of the beneficiary under the trust who was the spouse or common-law partner of the settlor, the following rules apply:

the capital cost to the child of the property, immediately after the time of the disposition, is deemed to be the amount that was the capital cost to the trust of the property, immediately before the time of the disposition, and
the amount, if any, by which the capital cost to the trust of the property, immediately before the time of the disposition, exceeds the amount determined under the relevant provision to be the cost of the property to the child, immediately after the time of the disposition, is, for the purposes of sections 13 and 20 and any regulations made for the purpose of paragraph 20(1)(a), deemed to have been allowed to the child in respect of the property under regulations made for the purpose of paragraph 20(1)(a) in computing income for taxation years that ended before the child acquired the property; and
where the relevant provision applied to the trust in respect of a property and the trust’s proceeds of disposition in respect of the disposition of the property determined under the relevant provision are redetermined under subsection 13(21.1), notwithstanding the relevant provision,
where the capital cost to the trust of the property, immediately before the time of the disposition, exceeds the amount redetermined under subsection 13(21.1), for the purposes of sections 13 and 20 and any regulations made for the purpose of paragraph 20(1)(a),
the capital cost to the child of the property, immediately after the time of the disposition, is deemed to be the amount that was the capital cost to the trust of the property, immediately before the time of the disposition, and
the amount, if any, by which the capital cost to the trust of the property, immediately before the time of the disposition, exceeds the amount redetermined under subsection 13(21.1) is deemed to have been allowed to the child in respect of the property under regulations made for the purpose of paragraph 20(1)(a) in computing income for taxation years that ended before the child acquired the property, and
where the property is land, the cost to the child of the property is deemed to be the amount that was the trust’s proceeds of disposition as redetermined under subsection 13(21.1).
Subsection (9.21) applies to a taxpayer and a child of the taxpayer in respect of a property of the taxpayer in respect of which subsection (5) would, if this Act were read without reference to this subsection, apply to the taxpayer and the child if

Subsection (9.01) or (9.21), as the case may be, applies in respect of a transfer of a property as if the references in those subsections to “child” were read as references to “parent” if
the property was acquired by a taxpayer in circumstances where any of subsections (9.01), (9.11), (9.21), (9.31) and 73(3.1) and (4.1) applied in respect of the acquisition;
as a consequence of the death of the taxpayer the property is transferred to a parent of the taxpayer; and
the taxpayer’s legal representative has elected, in the taxpayer’s return of income under this Part for the taxation year in which the taxpayer died, that this subsection apply in respect of the transfer.

Where 2 or more depreciable properties of a prescribed class are disposed of at the same time as a consequence of a taxpayer’s death, this section and paragraph (a) of the definition cost amount in subsection 248(1) apply as if each property so disposed of were separately disposed of in the order designated by the taxpayer’s legal representative or, in the case of a trust described in subsection 70(9.1), by the trust and, where the taxpayer’s legal representative or the trust, as the case may be, does not designate an order, in the order designated by the Minister.
Where in a taxation year a taxpayer has died,
paragraph 20(1)(n) does not apply to allow, in computing the income of the taxpayer for the year from a business, the deduction of any amount as a reserve in respect of property sold in the course of the business;
no amount is deductible under subsection 32(1) as a reserve in respect of unearned commissions in computing the taxpayer’s income for the year;

subsection 64(1.1) does not apply to allow, in computing the income of the taxpayer for the year, the deduction of any amount as a reserve in respect of the disposition of any property.
Where property of a taxpayer that is a right to receive any amount has, on or after the death of the taxpayer and as a consequence thereof, been transferred or distributed to the taxpayer’s spouse or common-law partner described in paragraph 70(6)(a) or to a trust described in paragraph 70(6)(b) (in this subsection referred to as the “transferee”), if the taxpayer was resident in Canada immediately before the taxpayer’s death and the taxpayer’s legal representative and the transferee have executed jointly an election in respect of the property in prescribed form,
any amount in respect of the property that would, but for paragraph 72(1)(a), (b), (d) or (e), as the case may be, have been deductible as a reserve in computing the taxpayer’s income for the taxation year in which the taxpayer died shall,
notwithstanding subsection 72(1), be deducted in computing the taxpayer’s income for the taxation year in which the taxpayer died,
be included in computing the transferee’s income for the transferee’s first taxation year ending after the death of the taxpayer, and
be deemed to be as the case may be;
an amount that has been included in computing the transferee’s income from a business for a previous year in respect of property sold in the course of the business,
an amount that has been included in computing the transferee’s income for a previous year as a commission in respect of an insurance contract, other than a life insurance contract,

for the purposes of subsection 64(1.1), an amount that by virtue of paragraph 59(3.2)(c) has been included in computing the transferee’s income for a preceding taxation year and to be an amount deducted by the transferee pursuant to paragraph 64(1.1)(a) in computing the transferee’s income for the transferee’s last taxation year ending before the death,

notwithstanding paragraph 72(1)(c), be deemed to have been so claimed, and
for the purpose of computing the transferee’s income for the transferee’s first taxation year ending after the death of the taxpayer and any subsequent taxation year, be deemed to have been
proceeds of the disposition of capital property disposed of by the transferee in that first taxation year, and
the amount determined under subparagraph 40(1)(a)(i) or 44(1)(e)(i), as the case may be, in respect of the capital property referred to in clause (A); and
notwithstanding paragraphs 72(2)(a) (b), where any property had been disposed of by the taxpayer, in computing the income of the transferee for any taxation year ending after the death of the taxpayer,
the amount of the transferee’s deduction under paragraph 20(1)(n) as a reserve in respect of the property sold in the course of business,
the amount of the transferee’s claim under subparagraph 40(1)(a)(iii) or 44(1)(e)(iii) in respect of the disposition of the property, and
the amount of the transferee’s deduction under section 64 as a reserve in respect of the disposition of the property
shall be computed as if the transferee were the taxpayer who had disposed of the property and as if the property were disposed of by the transferee at the time it was disposed of by the taxpayer.
For the purposes of this Part, where at any time any particular capital property of an individual (other than a trust) has been transferred in circumstances to which subsection (1.01) applies and both the individual and the transferee are resident in Canada at that time, unless the individual elects in the individual’s return of income under this Part for the taxation year in which the property was transferred that the provisions of this subsection not apply, the particular property is deemed
to have been disposed of at that time by the individual for proceeds equal to,
where the particular property is depreciable property of a prescribed class, that proportion of the undepreciated capital cost to the individual immediately before that time of all property of that class that the fair market value immediately before that time of the particular property is of the fair market value immediately before that time of all of that property of that class, and
in any other case, the adjusted cost base to the individual of the particular property immediately before that time; and
to have been acquired at that time by the transferee for an amount equal to those proceeds.
Subject to subsection (1.02), property is transferred by an individual in circumstances to which this subsection applies where it is transferred to
the individual’s spouse or common-law partner;
a former spouse or common-law partner of the individual in settlement of rights arising out of their marriage or common-law partnership; or
a trust created by the individual under which
the individual’s spouse or common-law partner is entitled to receive all of the income of the trust that arises before the spouse’s or common-law partner’s death and no person except the spouse or common-law partner may, before the spouse’s or common-law partner’s death, receive or otherwise obtain the use of any of the income or capital of the trust,
the individual is entitled to receive all of the income of the trust that arises before the individual’s death and no person except the individual may, before the individual’s death, receive or otherwise obtain the use of any of the income or capital of the trust, or
either
the individual or the individual’s spouse is, in combination with the other, entitled to receive all of the income of the trust that arises before the later of the death of the individual and the death of the spouse and no other person may, before the later of those deaths, receive or otherwise obtain the use of any of the income or capital of the trust, or
the individual or the individual’s common-law partner is, in combination with the other, entitled to receive all of the income of the trust that arises before the later of the death of the individual and the death of the common-law partner and no other person may, before the later of those deaths, receive or otherwise obtain the use of any of the income or capital of the trust.
Subsection (1.01) applies to a transfer of property by an individual to a trust the terms of which satisfy the conditions in subparagraph (1.01)(c)(ii) or (iii) only where
the trust was created after 1999;
either
the individual had attained 65 years of age at the time the trust was created, or
the transfer does not result in a change in beneficial ownership of the property and there is immediately after the transfer no absolute or contingent right of a person (other than the individual) or partnership as a beneficiary (determined with reference to subsection 104(1.1)) under the trust; and
in the case of a trust the terms of which satisfy the conditions in subparagraph (1.01)(c)(ii), the trust does not make an election under subparagraph 104(4)(a)(ii.1).
For greater certainty, a property is, for the purposes of subsections (1) and (1.01), deemed to be property of the individual referred to in subsection (1) that has been transferred to a particular transferee where,
under the laws of a province or because of a decree, order or judgment of a competent tribunal made in accordance with those laws, the property
is acquired or is deemed to have been acquired by the particular transferee,
is deemed or declared to be property of, or is awarded to, the particular transferee, or
has vested in the particular transferee; and
the property was or would, but for those laws, have been a capital property of the individual referred to in subsection (1).
If a transferee is deemed by subsection (1) to have acquired any particular depreciable property of a prescribed class of a taxpayer for an amount determined under paragraph (1)(b) and the capital cost to the taxpayer of the particular property exceeds the amount determined under that paragraph, in applying sections 13 and 20 and any regulations made under paragraph 20(1)(a)
the capital cost to the transferee of the particular property is deemed to be the amount that was the capital cost to the taxpayer of the particular property; and
the excess is deemed to have been allowed to the transferee in respect of the particular property under regulations made under paragraph 20(1)(a) in computing income for taxation years before the acquisition of the particular property.
Subsection (3.1) applies to a taxpayer and a child of the taxpayer in respect of property that has been transferred, at any time, by the taxpayer to the child, where
the property was, before the transfer, land in Canada or depreciable property in Canada of a prescribed class, of the taxpayer, or any eligible capital property in respect of a fishing or farming business carried on in Canada by the taxpayer;
the child of the taxpayer was resident in Canada immediately before the transfer; and
the property has been used principally in a fishing or farming business in which the taxpayer, the taxpayer’s spouse or common-law partner, a child of the taxpayer or a parent of the taxpayer was actively engaged on a regular and continuous basis (or in the case of property used in the operation of a woodlot, was engaged to the extent required by a prescribed forest management plan in respect of that woodlot).
If, because of subsection (3), this subsection applies to the taxpayer and a child of the taxpayer in respect of a property transferred by the taxpayer to the child of the taxpayer, the following rules apply:
where, immediately before the transfer, the property was depreciable property of a prescribed class, the taxpayer is deemed to have disposed of the property, at the time of the transfer, for proceeds of disposition equal to
in any case to which neither subparagraph (ii) nor (iii) applies, the taxpayer’s proceeds of disposition otherwise determined,
the greater of the amounts referred to in clauses (A) and (B), if the taxpayer’s proceeds of disposition otherwise determined exceed the greater of
the fair market value of the property immediately before the time of the transfer, and
the lesser of
the capital cost to the taxpayer of the property, and
the amount, determined immediately before the time of the disposition of the property, that is that proportion of the undepreciated capital cost of property of that class to the taxpayer that the capital cost to the taxpayer of the property is of the capital cost to the taxpayer of all property of that class that had not, at or before that time, been disposed of, or
if the taxpayer’s proceeds of disposition otherwise determined are less than the lesser of the amounts referred to in clauses (ii)(A) and (B), the lesser of those amounts;
where the property transferred was land, the taxpayer is deemed to have disposed of the property at the time of the transfer for proceeds of disposition equal to,
in any case to which neither subparagraph (ii) nor (iii) applies, the taxpayer’s proceeds of disposition otherwise determined,
the greater of the amounts referred to in clauses (A) and (B), if the taxpayer’s proceeds of disposition otherwise determined exceed the greater of
the fair market value of the land immediately before the time of the transfer, and
the adjusted cost base to the taxpayer of the land immediately before the time of the transfer, or

the amount determined by the formula 4/3 (A × B/C) where A is the taxpayer’s cumulative eligible capital in respect of the business, B is the fair market value of the property immediately before the transfer, and C is the fair market value immediately before the transfer of all the taxpayer’s eligible capital property in respect of the business, or
the fair market value of the property immediately before the time of the transfer, and
the greater of the amounts referred to in clauses (A) and (B), if the taxpayer’s proceeds of disposition otherwise determined exceed the greater of
in any case to which neither subparagraph (ii) nor (iii) applies, the taxpayer’s proceeds of disposition otherwise determined,
subsection 69(1) does not apply to the taxpayer and the child in respect of the property;

where the property is depreciable property of the taxpayer, paragraph (a), and
where the property is land of the taxpayer, paragraph (b);
for the purpose of determining, in respect of any disposition of the property, after the time of the transfer, the amount deemed to be the child’s taxable capital gain, and the amount to be included in computing the child’s income, there shall be added to the amount otherwise determined for Q in respect of the business in the definition cumulative eligible capital in subsection 14(5), the amount determined by the formula, A × B/C where A is the amount, if any, determined for Q in that definition in respect of the business immediately before the time of the transfer, B is the fair market value, immediately before that time, of the transferred property , and C is the fair market value immediately before that time of all the taxpayer’s eligible capital property in respect of the business; and

the capital cost to the child of the property is deemed to be the amount that was the capital cost to the taxpayer of the property immediately before the transfer, and
the excess is deemed to have been allowed to the child in respect of the property under regulations made under paragraph 20(1)(a) in computing income for taxation years that ended before the child acquired the property.
Subsection (4.1) applies to a taxpayer and a child of the taxpayer in respect of property that has been transferred, at any time, to the child if

where the property is, immediately before the transfer, an interest in a family fishing partnership of the taxpayer, or an interest in a family farm partnership of the taxpayer (other than a partnership interest to which subsection 100(3) applies), the taxpayer receives no consideration in respect of the transfer of the property and the taxpayer elects, in the taxpayer’s return of income under this Part for the taxation year which includes the time of the transfer, to have this paragraph apply in respect of the transfer of the property,
the taxpayer is, except for the purpose of paragraph 98(5)(g), deemed not to have disposed of the property at the time of the transfer,
the child is deemed to have acquired the property at the time of the transfer at a cost equal to the cost to the taxpayer of the interest immediately before the transfer, and
each amount required by subsection 53(1) or (2) to be added or deducted in computing the adjusted cost base to the taxpayer, immediately before the transfer, of the property is deemed to be an amount required by subsection 53(1) or (2) to be added or deducted in computing at any time at or after the time of the transfer, the adjusted cost base to the child of the property; and
subsection 69(1) does not apply to the taxpayer and the child in respect of the property.
Where at any time a taxpayer disposes of an interest in the taxpayer’s NISA Fund No. 2, an amount equal to the balance in the fund so disposed of shall be deemed to have been paid out of the fund at that time to the taxpayer except that,
where the interest is disposed of to the taxpayer’s spouse or common-law partner, former spouse or common-law partner or an individual referred to in paragraph 73(1)(d) (as it applies to transfers of property that occurred before 1993) in settlement of rights arising out of their marriage or common-law partnership, on or after the breakdown of the marriage or common-law partnership, that amount shall not be deemed to have been paid to the taxpayer if
the disposition is made under a decree, order or judgment of a competent tribunal or, in the case of a spouse or common-law partner or former spouse or common-law partner, a written separation agreement, and
the taxpayer elects in the taxpayer’s return of income under this Part for the taxation year in which the property was disposed of to have this paragraph apply to the disposition; and
where the interest is disposed of to a taxable Canadian corporation in a transaction in respect of which an election is made under section 85, an amount equal to the proceeds of disposition in respect of that interest shall be deemed to be paid, at that time, to the taxpayer out of the taxpayer’s NISA Fund No. 2.
The definitions in subsection 70(10) apply to this section.
If an individual has transferred or lent property (otherwise than by an assignment of any portion of a retirement pension under section 65.1 of the Canada Pension Plan or a comparable provision of a provincial pension plan as defined in section 3 of that Act), either directly or indirectly, by means of a trust or by any other means whatever, to or for the benefit of a person who is the individual’s spouse or common-law partner or who has since become the individual’s spouse or common-law partner, any income or loss, as the case may be, of that person for a taxation year from the property or from property substituted therefor, that relates to the period in the year throughout which the individual is resident in Canada and that person is the individual’s spouse or common-law partner, is deemed to be income or a loss, as the case may be, of the individual for the year and not of that person.
If an individual has transferred or lent property, either directly or indirectly, by means of a trust or by any other means whatever, to or for the benefit of a person who was under 18 years of age (other than an amount received in respect of that person either as a consequence of the operation of subsection 122.61(1) or under section 4 of the Universal Child Care Benefit Act) and who
does not deal with the individual at arm’s length, or
is the niece or nephew of the individual,
any income or loss, as the case may be, of that person for a taxation year from the property or from property substituted for that property, that relates to the period in the taxation year throughout which the individual is resident in Canada, is deemed to be income or a loss, as the case may be, of the individual and not of that person unless that person has, before the end of the taxation year, attained the age of 18 years.
For the purposes of subsections 74.1(1) and (2), where, at any time, an individual has lent or transferred property (in this subsection referred to as the “lent or transferred property”) either directly or indirectly, by means of a trust or by any other means whatever, to or for the benefit of a person, and the lent or transferred property or property substituted therefor is used
to repay, in whole or in part, borrowed money with which other property was acquired, or
to reduce an amount payable for other property,
there shall be included in computing the income from the lent or transferred property, or from property substituted therefor, that is so used, that proportion of the income or loss, as the case may be, derived after that time from the other property or from property substituted therefor that the fair market value at that time of the lent or transferred property, or property substituted therefor, that is so used is of the cost to that person of the other property at the time of its acquisition, but for greater certainty nothing in this subsection shall affect the application of subsections 74.1(1) and (2) to any income or loss derived from the other property or from property substituted therefor.
Where an individual has lent or transferred property (in this section referred to as “lent or transferred property”), either directly or indirectly, by means of a trust or by any other means whatever, to or for the benefit of a person (in this subsection referred to as the “recipient”) who is the individual’s spouse or common-law partner or who has since become the individual’s spouse or common-law partner, the following rules apply for the purposes of computing the income of the individual and the recipient for a taxation year:
the amount, if any, by which
the total of the recipient’s taxable capital gains for the year from dispositions of property (other than listed personal property) that is lent or transferred property or property substituted therefor occurring in the period (in this subsection referred to as the “attribution period”) throughout which the individual is resident in Canada and the recipient is the individual’s spouse or common-law partner
exceeds
the total of the recipient’s allowable capital losses for the year from dispositions occurring in the attribution period of property (other than listed personal property) that is lent or transferred property or property substituted therefor
shall be deemed to be a taxable capital gain of the individual for the year from the disposition of property other than listed personal property;
the amount, if any, by which the total determined under subparagraph 74.2(1)(a)(ii) exceeds the total determined under subparagraph 74.2(1)(a)(i) shall be deemed to be an allowable capital loss of the individual for the year from the disposition of property other than listed personal property;
the amount, if any, by which
the amount that the total of the recipient’s gains for the year from dispositions occurring in the attribution period of listed personal property that is lent or transferred property or property substituted therefor would be if the recipient had at no time owned listed personal property other than listed personal property that was lent or transferred property or property substituted therefor
exceeds
the amount that the total of the recipient’s losses for the year from dispositions of listed personal property that is lent or transferred property or property substituted therefor would be if the recipient had at no time owned listed personal property other than listed personal property that was lent or transferred property or property substituted therefor,
shall be deemed to be a gain of the individual for the year from the disposition of listed personal property;
the amount, if any, by which the total determined under subparagraph 74.2(1)(c)(ii) exceeds the total determined under subparagraph 74.2(1)(c)(i) shall be deemed to be a loss of the individual for the year from the disposition of listed personal property; and
any taxable capital gain or allowable capital loss or any gain or loss taken into account in computing an amount described in paragraph 74.2(1)(a), 74.2(1)(b), 74.2(1)(c) or 74.2(1)(d) shall, except for the purposes of those paragraphs and to the extent that the amount so described is deemed by virtue of this subsection to be a taxable capital gain or an allowable capital loss or a gain or loss of the individual, be deemed not to be a taxable capital gain or an allowable capital loss or a gain or loss, as the case may be, of the recipient.
Where an amount is deemed by subsection 74.2(1) or 75(2) or section 75.1 of this Act, or subsection 74(2) of the Income Tax Act, chapter 148 of the Revised Statutes of Canada, 1952, to be a taxable capital gain or an allowable capital loss of an individual for a taxation year,
for the purposes of sections 3 and 111, as they apply for the purposes of section 110.6, such portion of the gain or loss as may reasonably be considered to relate to the disposition of a property by another person in the year shall be deemed to arise from the disposition of that property by the individual in the year; and
for the purposes of section 110.6, that property shall be deemed to have been disposed of by the individual on the day on which it was disposed of by the other person.
Subsection (1) does not apply to a disposition at any particular time (in this subsection referred to as the “emigration disposition”) under paragraph 128.1(4)(b), by a taxpayer who is a recipient referred to in subsection (1), unless the recipient and the individual referred to in that subsection, in their returns of income for the taxation year that includes the first time, after the particular time, at which the recipient disposes of the property, jointly elect that subsection (1) apply to the emigration disposition.
For the purpose of applying subsection (3) and notwithstanding subsections 152(4) to (5), any assessment of tax payable under this Act by the recipient or the individual referred to in subsection (1) shall be made that is necessary to take an election under subsection (3) into account except that no such assessment shall affect the computation of
interest payable under this Act to or by a taxpayer in respect of any period that is before the taxpayer’s filing-due date for the taxation year that includes the first time, after the particular time referred to in subsection (3), at which the recipient disposes of the property referred to in that subsection; or
any penalty payable under this Act.
Where an individual has lent or transferred property (in this section referred to as “lent or transferred property”), either directly or indirectly, by means of a trust or by any other means whatever, to a trust in which another individual who is at any time a designated person in respect of the individual is beneficially interested at any time, the following rules apply:
for the purposes of section 74.1, the income of the designated person for a taxation year from the lent or transferred property shall be deemed to be an amount equal to the lesser of
the amount in respect of the trust that was included by virtue of paragraph 12(1)(m) in computing the income for the year of the designated person, and
that proportion of the amount that would be the income of the trust for the year from the lent or transferred property or from property substituted therefor if no deduction were made under subsection 104(6) or (12) that is of
the amount determined under subparagraph 74.3(1)(a)(i) in respect of the designated person for the year
the total of all amounts each of which is an amount determined under subparagraph 74.3(1)(a)(i) for the year in respect of the designated person or any other person who is throughout the year a designated person in respect of the individual; and
for the purposes of section 74.2, an amount equal to the lesser of
the amount that was designated under subsection 104(21) in respect of the designated person in the trust’s return of income for the year, and
the amount, if any, by which exceeds
the total of all amounts each of which is a taxable capital gain for the year from the disposition by the trust of the lent or transferred property or property substituted therefor
the total of all amounts each of which is an allowable capital loss for the year from the disposition by the trust of the lent or transferred property or property substituted therefor,
shall be deemed to be a taxable capital gain of the designated person for the year from the disposition of property (other than listed personal property) that is lent or transferred property.
In this section, designated person, in respect of an individual, has the meaning assigned by subsection 74.5(5).
In this section,

a right to receive indebtedness or a share of the capital stock of a corporation. (contrepartie exclue)
Where an individual has transferred or lent property, either directly or indirectly, by means of a trust or by any other means whatever, to a corporation and one of the main purposes of the transfer or loan may reasonably be considered to be to reduce the income of the individual and to benefit, either directly or indirectly, by means of a trust or by any other means whatever, a person who is a designated person in respect of the individual, in computing the income of the individual for any taxation year that includes a period after the loan or transfer throughout which
the person is a designated person in respect of the individual and would have been a specified shareholder of the corporation if the definition specified shareholder in subsection 248(1) were read without reference to paragraphs (a) and (d) of that definition and if the reference therein to “any other corporation that is related to the corporation” were read as a reference to “any other corporation (other than a small business corporation) that is related to the corporation”,
the individual was resident in Canada, and
the corporation was not a small business corporation,
the individual shall be deemed to have received as interest in the year the amount, if any, by which
the amount that would be interest on the outstanding amount of the loan or transfer of the property for such periods in the year if the interest were computed thereon at the prescribed rate of interest for such periods
exceeds the total of
any interest received in the year by the individual in respect of the transfer or loan (other than amounts deemed by this subsection to be interest),
all amounts included in the individual’s income for the taxation year pursuant to subsection 82(1) or 90(1) in respect of taxable dividends received (other than dividends deemed by section 84 to have been received) by the individual in the year on shares that were received from the corporation as consideration for the transfer or as repayment for the loan that were excluded consideration at the time the dividends were received or on shares substituted therefor that were excluded consideration at that time, and
where the designated person is a specified individual in relation to the year, the amount required to be included in computing the designated person’s income for the year in respect of all taxable dividends received by the designated person that
can reasonably be considered to be part of the benefit sought to be conferred, and
are included in computing the designated person’s split income for any taxation year.
For the purposes of subsection 74.4(2), the outstanding amount of a transferred property or loan at a particular time is
in the case of a transfer of property to a corporation, the amount, if any, by which the fair market value of the property at the time of the transfer exceeds the total of
the fair market value, at the time of the transfer, of the consideration (other than consideration that is excluded consideration at the particular time) received by the transferor for the property, and
the fair market value, at the time of receipt, of any consideration (other than consideration that is excluded consideration at the particular time) received by the transferor at or before the particular time from the corporation or from a person with whom the transferor deals at arm’s length, in exchange for excluded consideration previously received by the transferor as consideration for the property or for excluded consideration substituted for such consideration;
in the case of a loan of money or property to a corporation, the amount, if any, by which
the principal amount of the loan of money at the time the loan was made, or
the fair market value of the property lent at the time the loan was made,
as the case may be, exceeds the fair market value, at the time the repayment is received by the lender, of any repayment of the loan (other than a repayment that is excluded consideration at the particular time).
For the purposes of subsection 74.4(2), one of the main purposes of a transfer or loan by an individual to a corporation shall not be considered to be to benefit, either directly or indirectly, a designated person in respect of the individual, where
the only interest that the designated person has in the corporation is a beneficial interest in shares of the corporation held by a trust;
by the terms of the trust, the designated person may not receive or otherwise obtain the use of any of the income or capital of the trust while being a designated person in respect of the individual; and
the designated person has not received or otherwise obtained the use of any of the income or capital of the trust, and no deduction has been made by the trust in computing its income under subsection 104(6) or (12) in respect of amounts paid or payable to, or included in the income of, that person while being a designated person in respect of the individual.
Notwithstanding any other provision of this Act, subsections 74.1(1) and (2) and section 74.2 do not apply to any income, gain or loss derived in a particular taxation year from transferred property or from property substituted therefor if
at the time of the transfer the fair market value of the transferred property did not exceed the fair market value of the property received by the transferor as consideration for the transferred property;
where the consideration received by the transferor included indebtedness,
interest was charged on the indebtedness at a rate equal to or greater than the lesser of
the prescribed rate that was in effect at the time the indebtedness was incurred, and
the rate that would, having regard to all the circumstances, have been agreed on, at the time the indebtedness was incurred, between parties dealing with each other at arm’s length,
the amount of interest that was payable in respect of the particular year in respect of the indebtedness was paid not later than 30 days after the end of the particular year, and
the amount of interest that was payable in respect of each taxation year preceding the particular year in respect of the indebtedness was paid not later than 30 days after the end of each such taxation year; and
where the property was transferred to or for the benefit of the transferor’s spouse or common-law partner, the transferor elected in the transferor’s return of income under this Part for the taxation year in which the property was transferred not to have the provisions of subsection 73(1) apply.
Notwithstanding any other provision of this Act, subsections 74.1(1) and (2) and section 74.2 do not apply to any income, gain or loss derived in a particular taxation year from lent property or from property substituted therefor if
interest was charged on the loan at a rate equal to or greater than the lesser of
the prescribed rate that was in effect at the time the loan was made, and
the rate that would, having regard to all the circumstances, have been agreed on, at the time the loan was made, between parties dealing with each other at arm’s length;

the amount of interest that was payable in respect of each taxation year preceding the particular year in respect of the loan was paid not later than 30 days after the end of each such taxation year.
Notwithstanding subsection 74.1(1) and section 74.2, where an individual has lent or transferred property, either directly or indirectly, by means of a trust or by any other means whatever, to or for the benefit of a person who is the individual’s spouse or common-law partner or who has since become the individual’s spouse or common-law partner,
subsection 74.1(1) does not apply with respect to any income or loss from the property, or property substituted therefor, that relates to the period throughout which the individual is living separate and apart from that person by reason of a breakdown of their marriage or common-law partnership; and
section 74.2 does not apply to a disposition of the property, or property substituted therefor, occurring at any time while the individual is living separate and apart from that person because of a breakdown of their marriage or common-law partnership, if an election completed jointly with that person not to have that section apply is filed with the individual’s return of income under this Part for the taxation year that includes that time or for any preceding taxation year.
No amount shall be included in computing the income of an individual under subsection 74.4(2) in respect of a designated person in respect of the individual who is the spouse or common-law partner of the individual for any period throughout which the individual is living separate and apart from the designated person by reason of a breakdown of their marriage or common-law partnership.

to another person and that property, or property substituted therefor, is lent or transferred by any person (in this subsection referred to as a “third party”) directly or indirectly to or for the benefit of a specified person with respect to the individual, or
to another person on condition that property be lent or transferred by any person (in this subsection referred to as a “third party”) directly or indirectly to or for the benefit of a specified person with respect to the individual,
the following rules apply:
for the purposes of sections 74.1, 74.2, 74.3 and 74.4, the property lent or transferred by the third party shall be deemed to have been lent or transferred, as the case may be, by the individual to or for the benefit of the specified person, and
for the purposes of subsection 74.5(1), the consideration received by the third party for the transfer of the property shall be deemed to have been received by the individual.
Where an individual is obligated, either absolutely or contingently, to effect any undertaking including any guarantee, covenant or agreement given to ensure the repayment, in whole or in part, of a loan made by any person (in this subsection referred to as the “third party”) directly or indirectly to or for the benefit of a specified person with respect to the individual or the payment, in whole or in part, of any interest payable in respect of the loan, the following rules apply:
for the purposes of sections 74.1, 74.2, 74.3 and 74.4, the property lent by the third party shall be deemed to have been lent by the individual to or for the benefit of the specified person; and
for the purposes of paragraphs 74.5(2)(b) and (c), the amount of interest that is paid in respect of the loan shall be deemed not to include any amount paid by the individual to the third party as interest on the loan.

Notwithstanding any other provision of this Act, sections 74.1 to 74.4 do not apply to a transfer or loan of property where it may reasonably be concluded that one of the main reasons for the transfer or loan was to reduce the amount of tax that would, but for this subsection, be payable under this Part on the income and gains derived from the property or from property substituted therefor.
Sections 74.1, 74.2 and 74.3 do not apply in respect of a transfer by an individual of property
as a payment of a premium under a registered retirement savings plan under which the individual’s spouse or common-law partner is, immediately after the transfer, the annuitant (within the meaning of subsection 146(1)) to the extent that the premium is deductible in computing the income of the individual for a taxation year;
[Repealed, 2011, c. 24, s. 17]

If a trust, that is resident in Canada and that was created in any manner whatever since 1934, holds property on condition
that it or property substituted therefor may
revert to the person from whom the property or property for which it was substituted was directly or indirectly received (in this subsection referred to as “the person”), or
pass to persons to be determined by the person at a time subsequent to the creation of the trust, or
that, during the existence of the person, the property shall not be disposed of except with the person’s consent or in accordance with the person’s direction,

where a corporation issues a share (other than an excluded security) to a person as consideration for the settlement of a debt issued by the corporation and payable to the person, the amount paid in satisfaction of the debt because of the issue of the share is deemed to be equal to the fair market value of the share at the time it was issued;
where a debt issued by a corporation and payable to a person is settled at any time, the amount, if any, that can reasonably be considered to be the increase, as a consequence of the settlement of the debt, in the fair market value of shares of the capital stock of the corporation owned by the person (other than any shares acquired by the person as consideration for the settlement of the debt) is deemed to be an amount paid at that time in satisfaction of the debt;

where an amount is paid in satisfaction of the principal amount of a particular commercial obligation issued by a debtor and, as a consequence of the payment, the debtor is legally obliged to pay that amount to another person, the obligation to pay that amount to the other person shall be deemed to be a commercial obligation that was issued by the debtor at the same time and in the same circumstances as the particular obligation;

the value of A in subsection 80(13) in respect of the settlement of the particular obligation at that time,
all amounts each of which is
the amount, if any, by which the value of A in subsection 80(13) in respect of a settlement before that time and in the year of a commercial obligation issued by the debtor exceeds the value of C in that subsection in respect of the settlement,
the value of A in subsection 80(13) in respect of a settlement of a commercial obligation that is deemed by paragraph 80.04(4)(e) to have been issued by a directed person in respect of the debtor because of the filing of an agreement under section 80.04 in respect of a settlement before that time and in the year of a commercial obligation issued by the debtor, or
the amount specified in an agreement (other than an agreement with a directed person in respect of the debtor) filed under section 80.04 in respect of the settlement before that time and in the year of a commercial obligation issued by the debtor, and

a notional obligation was issued immediately before that time by each of those directed persons and was settled at that time;
the forgiven amount at that time in respect of each of those notional obligations was equal to the total of all amounts each of which is a forgiven amount at or before that time and in the year in respect of a commercial obligation issued by the debtor;
amounts were designated under subsections 80(5), 80(7), 80(8), 80(9) and 80(10) by each of those directed persons to the maximum extent permitted in respect of the settlement of each of those notional obligations; and
no amounts were designated under subsection 80(11) by any of those directed persons in respect of the settlement of any of the notional obligations.
Where a commercial debt obligation issued by a partnership (in this subsection referred to as the “partnership obligation”) is settled at any time in a fiscal period of the partnership that ends in a taxation year of a member of the partnership,
the member may deduct, in computing the member’s income for the year, such amount as the member claims not exceeding the relevant limit in respect of the partnership obligation;
for the purpose of paragraph 80(15)(a), the relevant limit in respect of the partnership obligation is the amount that would be included in computing the member’s income for the year as a consequence of the application of subsection 80(13) and section 96 to the settlement of the partnership obligation if the partnership had designated amounts under subsections 80(5), 80(7), 80(8), 80(9) and 80(10) to the maximum extent permitted in respect of each obligation settled in that fiscal period and if income arising from the application of subsection 80(13) were from a source of income separate from any other sources of partnership income; and
for the purposes of this section and section 80.04,
the member shall be deemed to have issued a commercial debt obligation that was settled at the end of that fiscal period,
the amount deducted under paragraph 80(15)(a) in respect of the partnership obligation in computing the member’s income shall be treated as if it were the forgiven amount at the end of that fiscal period in respect of the obligation referred to in subparagraph 80(15)(c)(i),
subject to subparagraph 80(15)(c)(iv), the obligation referred to in subparagraph 80(15)(c)(i) shall be deemed to have been issued at the same time at which, and in the same circumstances in which, the partnership obligation was issued,
if the member is a taxpayer that was subject to a loss restriction event at a particular time that is before the end of that fiscal period and before the taxpayer became a member of the partnership, and the partnership obligation was issued before the particular time,
subject to the application of this subparagraph to the taxpayer after the particular time and before the end of that fiscal period, the obligation referred to in subparagraph (i) is deemed to have been issued by the member after the particular time, and
subparagraph (b)(ii) of the definition relevant loss balance in subsection (1), paragraph (f) of the definition successor pool in that subsection and paragraph (b) of the definition unrecognized loss in that subsection do not apply in respect of the loss restriction event, and
the source in connection with which the obligation referred to in subparagraph 80(15)(c)(i) was issued shall be deemed to be the source in connection with which the partnership obligation was issued.
Where a commercial obligation issued by a debtor is settled at any time in a taxation year and, as a consequence of the settlement an amount would, but for this subsection, be deducted under section 61.2 or 61.3 in computing the debtor’s income for the year and the debtor has not designated amounts under subsections 80(5) to 80(11) to the maximum extent possible in respect of the settlement,
the Minister may designate amounts under subsections 80(5) to 80(11) to the extent that the debtor would have been permitted to designate those amounts; and
the amounts designated by the Minister shall, except for the purpose of this subsection, be deemed to have been designated by the debtor as required by subsections 80(5) to 80(11).

For the purpose of subsection (7), an obligation issued by a debtor is, at a particular time, a specified obligation of the debtor where
at any previous time (other than a time before the last time, if any, the obligation became a parked obligation before the particular time),
a person who owned the obligation
dealt at arm’s length with the debtor, and
where the debtor is a corporation, did not have a significant interest in the debtor, or
the obligation was acquired by the holder of the obligation from another person who was, at the time of that acquisition, not related to the holder or related to the holder only because of paragraph 251(5)(b); or
the obligation is deemed by subsection 50(1) to be reacquired at the particular time.
For the purposes of this subsection and subsections (6), (8) and (10),
an obligation issued by a debtor is a “parked obligation” at any time where at that time
the obligation is a specified obligation of the debtor, and
the holder of the obligation
does not deal at arm’s length with the debtor, or
where the debtor is a corporation and the holder acquired the obligation after July 12, 1994 (otherwise than pursuant to an agreement in writing entered into on or before July 12, 1994), has a significant interest in the debtor; and
an obligation that is, at any time, acquired or reacquired in circumstances to which subparagraph (6)(a)(ii) or paragraph (6)(b) applies shall, if the obligation is a parked obligation immediately after that time, be deemed to have become a parked obligation at that time.
Where at any particular time after February 21, 1994 a commercial debt obligation that was issued by a debtor becomes a parked obligation (otherwise than pursuant to an agreement in writing entered into before February 22, 1994) and the specified cost at the particular time to the holder of the obligation is less than 80% of the principal amount of the obligation, for the purpose of applying the provisions of this Act to the debtor
the obligation shall be deemed to have been settled at the particular time; and
the forgiven amount at the particular time in respect of the obligation shall be determined as if the debtor had paid an amount at the particular time in satisfaction of the principal amount of the obligation equal to that specified cost.
Where at any particular time after February 21, 1994 a commercial debt obligation issued by a debtor that is payable to a person (other than a person with whom the debtor is related at the particular time) becomes unenforceable in a court of competent jurisdiction because of a statutory limitation period and the obligation would, but for this subsection, not have been settled or extinguished at the particular time, for the purpose of applying the provisions of this Act to the debtor, the obligation shall be deemed to have been settled at the particular time.
Where a commercial debt obligation issued by a debtor is first deemed by subsection (8) or (9) to have been settled at a particular time, at a subsequent time a payment is made by the debtor of an amount in satisfaction of the principal amount of the obligation and it cannot reasonably be considered that one of the reasons the obligation became a parked obligation or became unenforceable, as the case may be, before the subsequent time was to have this subsection apply to the payment, in computing the debtor’s income for the taxation year (in this subsection referred to as the “subsequent year”) that includes the subsequent time from the source in connection with which the obligation was issued, there may be deducted the amount determined by the formula 0.5(A - B) - C where A is the amount of the payment, B is the amount, if any, by which the principal amount of the obligation exceeds the total of all amounts each of which is a forgiven amount at any time in the period that began at the particular time and ended immediately before the subsequent time, and at which a particular portion of the obligation is deemed by subsection (8) or (9) to be settled in respect of the particular portion, and all amounts paid in satisfaction of the principal amount of the obligation in the period that began at the particular time and ended immediately before the subsequent time, and C is the amount, if any, by which the total of all amounts deducted under section 61.3 in computing the debtor’s income for the subsequent year or a preceding taxation year, all amounts added because of subsection 80(13) in computing the debtor’s income for the subsequent year or a preceding taxation year in respect of a settlement under subsection (8) or (9) in a period during which the debtor was exempt from tax under this Part on its taxable income, and all amounts added because of subsection 80(13) in computing the debtor’s income for the subsequent year or a preceding taxation year in respect of a settlement under subsection (8) or (9) in a period during which the debtor was non-resident (other than any of those amounts added in computing the debtor’s taxable income or taxable income earned in Canada) exceeds the total of the amount, if any, deducted because of paragraph 37(1)(f.1) in determining the balance determined under subsection 37(1) in respect of the debtor immediately after the subsequent year, and all amounts by which the amount deductible under this subsection in respect of a payment made by the debtor before the subsequent time in computing the debtor’s income for the subsequent year or a preceding year has been reduced because of this description.
Where an obligation issued by a debtor is denominated in a currency (other than the Canadian currency) and the obligation is deemed by subsection (8) or (9) to have been settled, those subsections do not apply for the purpose of determining any gain or loss of the debtor on the settlement that is attributable to a fluctuation in the value of the currency relative to the value of Canadian currency.
In this section, commercial debt obligation, commercial obligation, distress preferred share and person have the meanings assigned by subsection 80(1).
For the purpose of applying the provisions of this Act to an issuer of a distress preferred share,
the principal amount, at any time, of the share shall be deemed to be the amount (determined at that time) for which the share was issued;
the amount for which the share was issued shall, at any time, be deemed to be the amount, if any, by which the total of
the amount for which the share was issued, determined without reference to this paragraph, and
all amounts by which the paid-up capital in respect of the share increased after the share was issued and before that time
exceeds
the total of all amounts each of which is an amount paid before that time on a reduction of the paid-up capital in respect of the share, except to the extent that the amount is deemed by section 84 to have been paid as a dividend;
the share shall be deemed to be settled at such time as it is redeemed, acquired or cancelled by the issuer; and
a payment in satisfaction of the principal amount of the share is any payment made on a reduction of the paid-up capital in respect of the share to the extent that the payment would be proceeds of disposition of the share within the meaning that would be assigned by the definition proceeds of disposition in section 54 if that definition were read without reference to paragraph (j).
Where any part of the consideration given by a corporation to another person for the settlement or extinguishment at any time of a commercial debt obligation that was issued by the corporation and owned immediately before that time by the other person consists of a distress preferred share issued by the corporation to the other person,
for the purposes of section 80, the amount paid at that time in satisfaction of the principal amount of the obligation because of the issue of that share shall be deemed to be equal to the lesser of
the principal amount of the obligation, and
the amount by which the paid-up capital in respect of the class of shares that include that share increases because of the issue of that share; and
for the purpose of subparagraph (2)(b)(i), the amount for which the share was issued shall be deemed to be equal to the amount deemed by paragraph (a) to have been paid at that time.
Where any part of the consideration given by a corporation to another person for the settlement at any time of a distress preferred share that was issued by the corporation and owned immediately before that time by the other person consists of a commercial debt obligation issued by the corporation to the other person, for the purposes of section 80
the amount paid at that time in satisfaction of the principal amount of the share because of the issue of that obligation shall be deemed to be equal to the principal amount of the obligation; and
the amount for which the obligation was issued shall be deemed to be equal to its principal amount.
Where any part of the consideration given by a corporation to another person for the settlement at any time of a particular distress preferred share that was issued by the corporation and owned immediately before that time by the other person consists of another distress preferred share issued by the corporation to the other person, for the purposes of section 80
the amount paid at that time in satisfaction of the principal amount of the particular share because of the issue of the other share shall be deemed to be equal to the amount by which the paid-up capital in respect of the class of shares that includes the other share increases because of the issue of the other share; and
for the purpose of subparagraph (2)(b)(i), the amount for which the other share was issued shall be deemed to be equal to the amount deemed by paragraph (a) to have been paid at that time.
Where any part of the consideration given by a corporation to another person for the settlement at any time of a distress preferred share that was issued by the corporation and owned immediately before that time by the other person consists of another share (other than a distress preferred share) or an obligation (other than a commercial obligation) issued by the corporation to the other person, for the purposes of section 80, the amount paid at that time in satisfaction of the principal amount of the distress preferred share because of the issue of the other share or obligation shall be deemed to be equal to the fair market value of the other share or obligation, as the case may be, at that time.
Where at any time a distress preferred share becomes a share that is not a distress preferred share, for the purposes of section 80
the share shall be deemed to have been settled immediately before that time; and
a payment equal to the fair market value of the share at that time shall be deemed to have been made immediately before that time in satisfaction of the principal amount of the share.
[1998, c. 19, s. 112(1) text missing from amending clause]
Where at any time in a taxation year a person (in this subsection referred to as the “transferor”) surrenders a particular capital property (other than a distress preferred share) that is a share, a capital interest in a trust or an interest in a partnership, the person shall be deemed to have a capital gain from the disposition at that time of another capital property (or, where the particular property is a taxable Canadian property, another taxable Canadian property) equal to the amount, if any, by which
the total of all amounts deducted under paragraph 53(2)(g.1) in computing the adjusted cost base to the transferor of the particular property immediately before that time
the amount that would be the transferor’s capital gain for the year from the disposition of the particular property if this Act were read without reference to subsection 100(2), and
where, at the end of the year, the transferor is resident in Canada or is a non-resident person who carries on business in Canada through a fixed place of business, the amount designated under subsection (7) by the transferor in respect of the disposition, at that time or immediately after that time, of the particular property.
For the purpose of subsection (2), a person shall be considered to have surrendered a property at any time only where
in the case of a share of the capital stock of a particular corporation,
the person is a corporation that disposed of the share at that time and the proceeds of disposition of the share are determined under paragraph 88(1)(b), or
the person is a corporation that owned the share at that time and, immediately after that time, amalgamates or merges with the particular corporation;
in the case of a capital interest in a trust, the person disposed of the interest at that time and the proceeds of disposition are determined under paragraph 107(2)(c); and
in the case of an interest in a partnership, the person disposed of the interest at that time and the proceeds of disposition are determined under paragraph 98(3)(a) or (5)(a).
[Repealed, 1998, c. 19, s. 112(2)]
Where at any time in a taxation year a person disposes of a property, for the purposes of subsection (2) and section 80
the person may designate an amount in a prescribed form filed with the person’s return of income under this Part for the year; and
where an amount is designated by the person under paragraph (a) in respect of the disposition,
the person shall be deemed to have issued a commercial debt obligation at that time that is settled immediately after that time,
the lesser of the amount so designated and the amount that would, but for this subsection, be a capital gain determined in respect of the disposition because of subsection (2) shall be treated as if it were the forgiven amount at the time of the settlement in respect of the obligation referred to in subparagraph (i),
the source in connection with which the obligation referred to in subparagraph (i) was issued shall be deemed to be the business, if any, carried on by the person at the end of the year, and
where the person does not carry on a business at the end of the year, the person shall be deemed to carry on an active business at the end of the year and the source in connection with which the obligation referred to in subparagraph (i) was issued shall be deemed to be the business deemed by this subparagraph to be carried on.
Where, as a consequence of the disposition at any time by an individual of a property that is a qualified farm property of the individual or a qualified small business corporation share of the individual (within the meanings assigned by subsection 110.6(1)), the individual is deemed by subsection (2) to have a capital gain at that time from the disposition of another property, for the purposes of sections 3, 74.3 and 111, as they apply for the purpose of section 110.6, the other property shall be deemed to be a qualified farm property of the individual or a qualified small business corporation share of the individual, as the case may be.
In this section, commercial debt obligation, commercial obligation, debtor, directed person, eligible Canadian partnership, forgiven amount and person have the meanings assigned by subsection 80(1).
For the purpose of this section, an eligible transferee of a debtor at any time is a directed person at that time in respect of the debtor or a taxable Canadian corporation or eligible Canadian partnership related (otherwise than because of a right referred to in paragraph 251(5)(b)) at that time to the debtor.
Paragraphs 80(2)(a), 80(2)(b), 80(2)(j), 80(2)(l) and 80(2)(n) apply for the purpose of this section.
Where
a particular commercial obligation (other than an obligation deemed by paragraph (e) to have been issued) issued by a debtor is settled at a particular time,
amounts have been designated by the debtor under subsections 80(5) to 80(10) to the maximum extent permitted in respect of the settlement of the particular obligation at the particular time,
the debtor and an eligible transferee of the debtor at the particular time file under this section an agreement between them in respect of that settlement, and
an amount is specified in that agreement
except for the purposes of subsection 80(11), the transferee shall be deemed to have issued a commercial debt obligation that was settled at the particular time,
the specified amount shall be deemed to be the forgiven amount at the particular time in respect of the obligation referred to in paragraph (e),
subject to paragraph (h), the obligation referred to in paragraph (e) shall be deemed to have been issued at the same time (in paragraph (h) referred to as the “time of issue”) at which, and in the same circumstances in which, the particular obligation was issued,
if the transferee is a taxpayer that is subject to a loss restriction event after the time of issue and the transferee and the debtor were, if the transferee is a corporation, not related to each other — or, if the transferee is a trust, not affiliated with each other — immediately before the loss restriction event,
the obligation referred to in paragraph (e) is deemed to have been issued after the loss restriction event, and
subparagraph (b)(ii) of the definition relevant loss balance in subsection 80(1), paragraph (f) of the definition successor pool in that subsection and paragraph (b) of the definition unrecognized loss in that subsection do not apply in respect of the loss restriction event,
the source in connection with which the obligation referred to in paragraph (e) was issued shall be deemed to be the source in connection with which the particular obligation was issued, and
for the purposes of sections 61.3 and 61.4, the amount included under subsection 80(13) in computing the income of the eligible transferee in respect of the settlement of the obligation referred to in paragraph (e) or deducted under paragraph 80(15)(a) in respect of such income shall be deemed to be nil.
For the purposes of this Part, where property is acquired at any time by an eligible transferee as consideration for entering into an agreement with a debtor that is filed under this section
where the property was owned by the debtor immediately before that time,
the debtor shall be deemed to have disposed of the property at that time for proceeds equal to the fair market value of the property at that time, and
no amount may be deducted in computing the debtor’s income as a consequence of the transfer of the property, except any amount arising as a consequence of the application of subparagraph (i);
the cost at which the property was acquired by the eligible transferee at that time shall be deemed to be equal to the fair market value of the property at that time; and
the eligible transferee shall not be required to add an amount in computing income solely because of the acquisition at that time of the property;
[Repealed, 1998, c. 19, s. 113(1)]
For the purposes of this Part, where a debtor and an eligible transferee enter into an agreement that is filed under this section, no benefit shall be considered to have been conferred on the debtor as a consequence of the agreement.
Subject to subsection (7), a particular agreement between a debtor and an eligible transferee in respect of an obligation issued by the debtor that was settled at any time shall be deemed not to have been filed under this section
where it is not filed with the Minister in a prescribed form
on or before the later of
the day on or before which the debtor’s return of income under this Part is required to be filed for the taxation year or fiscal period, as the case may be, that includes that time (or would be required to be filed if tax under this Part were payable by the debtor for the year), and
the day on or before which the transferee’s return of income under this Part is required to be filed for the taxation year or fiscal period, as the case may be, that includes that time, or
on or before the later of
the expiry of the 90-day period commencing on the day of mailing of an assessment of tax payable under this Part or a notification that no tax is payable under this Part, as the case may be, for a taxation year or fiscal period described in clause (i)(A) or (B), as the case may be, and
if the debtor is an individual (other than a trust) or a testamentary trust, the day that is one year after the taxpayer’s filing-due date for the year;
where it is not accompanied by,
where the debtor is a corporation and its directors are legally entitled to administer its affairs, a certified copy of their resolution authorizing the agreement to be made,
where the debtor is a corporation and its directors are not legally entitled to administer its affairs, a certified copy of the document by which the person legally entitled to administer its affairs authorized the agreement to be made,
where the transferee is a corporation and its directors are legally entitled to administer its affairs, a certified copy of their resolution authorizing the agreement to be made, and
where the transferee is a corporation and its directors are not legally entitled to administer its affairs, a certified copy of the document by which the person legally entitled to administer its affairs authorized the agreement to be made; or
if an agreement amending the particular agreement has been filed in accordance with this section, except where subsection (8) applies to the particular agreement.
For the purpose of subsection (6), where an obligation is settled at any time in a fiscal period of a partnership, it shall be assumed that
the partnership is required to file a return of income under this Part for the fiscal period on or before the latest day on or before which any member of the partnership during the fiscal period is required to file a return of income under this Part for the taxation year in which that fiscal period ends (or would be required to file such a return of income if tax under this Part were payable by the member for that year); and
the partnership may serve a notice of objection described in subparagraph (6)(a)(ii) within each period within which any member of the partnership during the fiscal period may serve a notice of objection to tax payable under this Part for a taxation year in which that fiscal period ends.
Where at any time a corporation becomes related to another corporation and it can reasonably be considered that the main purpose of the corporation becoming related to the other corporation is to enable the corporations to file an agreement under this section, the amount specified in the agreement shall be deemed to be nil for the purpose of the description of C in subsection 80(13).
The Minister shall, notwithstanding subsections 152(4) to 152(5), assess or reassess the tax, interest and penalties payable under this Act by any taxpayer in order to take into account an agreement filed under this section.
Without affecting the liability of any person under any other provision of this Act, where a debtor and an eligible transferee file an agreement between them under this section in respect of an obligation issued by the debtor that was settled at any time, the debtor is, to the extent of 30% of the amount specified in the agreement, liable to pay
where the transferee is a corporation, all taxes payable under this Act by it for taxation years that end in the period that begins at that time and ends 4 calendar years after that time;
where the transferee is a partnership, the total of all amounts each of which is the tax payable under this Act by a person for a taxation year
that begins or ends in that period, and
that includes the end of a fiscal period of the partnership during which the person was a member of the partnership; and
interest and penalties in respect of such taxes.
If taxes, interest and penalties are payable under this Act by a person for a taxation year and those taxes, interest and penalties are payable by a debtor because of subsection (10), the debtor and the person are jointly and severally, or solidarily, liable to pay those amounts.
Where a debtor and an eligible transferee file an agreement between them under this section in respect of an obligation issued by the debtor that was settled at a particular time,
where the debtor is an individual or a corporation, the Minister may at any subsequent time assess the debtor in respect of taxes, interest and penalties for which the debtor is liable because of subsection (10); and
where the debtor is a partnership, the Minister may at any subsequent time assess any person who has been a member of the partnership in respect of taxes, interest and penalties for which the partnership is liable because of subsection (10), to the extent that those amounts relate to taxation years of the transferee (or, where the transferee is another partnership, members of the other partnership) that end at or after
where the person was not a member of the partnership at the particular time, the first subsequent time the person becomes a member of the partnership, and
in any other case, the particular time.
The provisions of Division I apply to an assessment under subsection (12) as though it had been made under section 152.
For the purposes of paragraphs (10)(b) and (12)(b) and this subsection, where at any time a member of a particular partnership is another partnership, each member of the other partnership shall be deemed to be a member of the particular partnership at that time.
Where in a taxation year ending coincidentally with or after December 31, 1971 a taxpayer resident in Canada has acquired any bonds, debentures, mortgages, hypothecary claims, notes or similar obligations (in this section referred to as “expropriation assets”) issued by the government of a country other than Canada or issued by a person resident in a country other than Canada and guaranteed by the government of that country,
as compensation for
shares owned by the taxpayer of the capital stock of a foreign affiliate of the taxpayer that carried on business in that country, or
all or substantially all of the property used by the taxpayer in carrying on business in that country,
(which shares or property, as the case may be, are referred to in this section as “foreign property”), taken, after June 18, 1971, from the taxpayer by the issuer under the authority of a law of that country, or
as consideration for the sale of foreign property sold, after June 18, 1971, by the taxpayer to the issuer, if
the sale was, by a law of that country, expressly required to be made, or
the sale was made after notice or other manifestation of an intention to take the foreign property,
if the taxpayer has so elected, in prescribed form and within prescribed time, in respect of all of the expropriation assets so acquired by the taxpayer, the following rule applies, namely, an amount in respect of each such expropriation asset, equal to
the principal amount of the asset, or
where the taxpayer has designated in the taxpayer’s election an amount in respect of the asset that is less than the principal amount thereof, the amount so designated,
shall be deemed to be
the cost to the taxpayer of the asset, and
for the purpose of computing the taxpayer’s proceeds of disposition of the foreign property so taken or sold, the amount received by the taxpayer by virtue of the taxpayer’s acquisition of the asset,
except that in no case may the taxpayer designate an amount in respect of any expropriation asset so that the taxpayer’s proceeds of disposition of the foreign property so taken or sold (computed having regard to the provisions of paragraph 80.1(1)(f)) are less than the cost amount to the taxpayer of the foreign property immediately before it was so taken or sold.
Where a taxpayer has elected in prescribed form and within prescribed time in respect of all amounts (each of which is referred to in this section as an “interest amount”) received or to be received by the taxpayer as or on account of interest on all expropriation assets acquired by the taxpayer as compensation for, or as consideration for the sale of, foreign property taken by or sold to any particular issuer as described in subsection 80.1(1), the following rules apply in respect of each such asset so acquired by the taxpayer:
in computing the taxpayer’s income for a taxation year from the asset, there may be deducted, in respect of each interest amount received by the taxpayer in the year on the asset, the lesser of the interest amount and the total of
the amount required by paragraph 80.1(2)(b) to be added, by virtue of the receipt by the taxpayer of the interest amount, in computing the adjusted cost base to the taxpayer of the asset, and
the greater of
the adjusted cost base to the taxpayer of the asset immediately before the interest amount was so received by the taxpayer, and
the adjusted principal amount to the taxpayer of the asset immediately before the interest amount was so received by the taxpayer,
and there shall be included, in respect of each amount (in this paragraph referred to as a “capital amount”) received by the taxpayer in the year as, on account or in lieu of payment of, or in satisfaction of,
any proceeds of disposition of the asset, or
the principal amount of the asset,
the amount, if any, by which the capital amount exceeds the greater of the adjusted cost base to the taxpayer of the asset immediately before the capital amount was received by the taxpayer and its adjusted principal amount to the taxpayer at that time;
in computing, at any particular time, the adjusted cost base to the taxpayer of the asset, there shall be added, in respect of each interest amount received by the taxpayer on the asset before the particular time, an amount equal to the lesser of
any income or profits tax paid by the taxpayer to the government of a country other than Canada in respect of the interest amount, and
that proportion of the tax referred to in subparagraph 80.1(2)(b)(i) that the adjusted cost base to the taxpayer of the asset immediately before the interest amount was received by the taxpayer is of the amount, if any, by which the interest amount exceeds the tax referred to in that subparagraph,
and there shall be deducted
each interest amount received by the taxpayer on the asset before the particular time, and
each amount received by the taxpayer before the particular time on account of the principal amount of the asset;
the receipt by the taxpayer of an amount described in subparagraph 80.1(2)(b)(iv) in respect of the asset shall be deemed not to be a partial disposition thereof; and
for the purposes of section 126, notwithstanding the definition non-business-income tax in subsection 126(7), the non-business-income tax paid by a taxpayer does not include any tax, or any portion thereof, the amount of which is required by paragraph 80.1(2)(b) to be added in computing the adjusted cost base to the taxpayer of the asset.
For the purposes of subsection 80.1(2), where an interest amount on an expropriation asset and a capital amount with respect to that asset are received by a taxpayer at the same time, the interest amount shall be deemed to have been received by the taxpayer immediately before the capital amount.
Where a foreign affiliate of a taxpayer resident in Canada would, on the assumption that the foreign affiliate were resident in Canada and its only foreign affiliates were corporations that were foreign affiliates of the taxpayer, be entitled to make an election under subsection 80.1(1) in respect of assets acquired by it that would, on that assumption, be expropriation assets of the foreign affiliate, and all or any of those assets are subsequently acquired by the taxpayer from the foreign affiliate as a dividend payable in kind, or as a benefit received from the foreign affiliate that would otherwise be required by subsection 15(1) to be included in computing the income of the taxpayer, if the taxpayer has so elected, in prescribed form and within prescribed time, in respect of all assets so acquired by the taxpayer from the foreign affiliate, the following rules apply in respect of each asset so acquired by the taxpayer:
an amount equal to
the principal amount of the asset, or
where the taxpayer has designated in the taxpayer’s election an amount in respect of the asset that is less than the principal amount thereof, the amount so designated,
shall be deemed to be,
notwithstanding subsection 52(2), the cost to the taxpayer of the asset, and
the amount of the dividend or benefit, as the case may be, received by the taxpayer by virtue of the acquisition by the taxpayer of the asset;
where the asset was so acquired as such a benefit and the taxpayer has designated in the election a class of shares as described in this paragraph in respect of the asset, the amount of the benefit shall be deemed
to have been received by the taxpayer as a dividend from the foreign affiliate in respect of such class of shares of the capital stock thereof as the taxpayer has designated in the election, and
not to be an amount required by subsection 15(1) to be included in computing the taxpayer’s income;
in computing the taxable income of the taxpayer for the taxation year in which the taxpayer acquired the asset, there may be deducted from the taxpayer’s income for the year the amount, if any, by which the amount received by the taxpayer as a dividend by virtue of the acquisition by the taxpayer of the asset exceeds the total of amounts deductible in respect of the dividend under sections 91 and 113 in computing the taxpayer’s income or taxable income, as the case may be, for the year;
there shall be deducted in computing the adjusted cost base to the taxpayer of each share of the capital stock of the foreign affiliate that is a share of a class in respect of which an amount was received by the taxpayer as a dividend by virtue of the acquisition by the taxpayer of the asset, the quotient obtained by dividing the amount, if any, deducted by the taxpayer under paragraph (c) in respect of the dividend by the number of shares of that class owned by the taxpayer immediately before that amount was received by the taxpayer as a dividend;
any capital loss of the taxpayer from the disposition, after the time when the asset was so acquired by the taxpayer, of a share of the capital stock of the foreign affiliate shall be deemed to be nil; and
where the taxpayer has so elected in prescribed form and within prescribed time, subsection (2) applies as if the asset were an expropriation asset acquired by the taxpayer as compensation for foreign property taken by a particular issuer as described in subsection (1).
Where a foreign affiliate of a taxpayer resident in Canada would, on the assumption that the foreign affiliate were resident in Canada and its only foreign affiliates were corporations that were foreign affiliates of the taxpayer, be entitled to make an election under subsection 80.1(1) in respect of assets acquired by it that would, on that assumption, be expropriation assets of the foreign affiliate, and all or any of those assets are subsequently acquired by the taxpayer from the foreign affiliate as consideration for the settlement or extinguishment of a capital property of the taxpayer that was a debt payable by the foreign affiliate to the taxpayer or any other obligation of the foreign affiliate to pay an amount to the taxpayer (which debt or other obligation is referred to in this subsection as the “obligation”), if the taxpayer has so elected, in prescribed form and within prescribed time, in respect of all of the assets so acquired by the taxpayer from the foreign affiliate, the following rules apply in respect of each such asset so acquired by the taxpayer:
paragraph 80.1(4)(a) applies in respect of the asset as if subparagraph 80.1(4)(a)(iv) were read as follows:
the taxpayer’s proceeds of the disposition of the obligation settled or extinguished by virtue of the acquisition by the taxpayer of the asset;”;
where the taxpayer has designated in the taxpayer’s election a class of shares as described in this paragraph in respect of the asset,
the amount, if any, by which the cost to the taxpayer of the asset (computed having regard to paragraph (a) and paragraph (4)(a)) exceeds the amount of the obligation settled or extinguished by virtue of the acquisition by the taxpayer of the asset shall be deemed to have been received by the taxpayer as a dividend from the foreign affiliate in respect of such class of shares of the capital stock thereof as the taxpayer has designated in the election, and
the taxpayer’s gain, if any, from the disposition of the obligation shall be deemed to be nil;
the taxpayer’s loss, if any, from the disposition of the obligation shall be deemed to be nil; and
paragraphs (4)(c) to (f) apply in respect of the asset.
Where a foreign affiliate of a taxpayer resident in Canada would, on the assumption that the foreign affiliate were resident in Canada and its only foreign affiliates were corporations that were foreign affiliates of the taxpayer, be entitled to make an election under subsection 80.1(1) in respect of assets acquired by it that would, on that assumption, be expropriation assets of the foreign affiliate, and all or any of those assets are subsequently acquired by the taxpayer from the foreign affiliate,
on the winding-up, discontinuance or reorganization of the business of the foreign affiliate, or
as consideration for the redemption, cancellation or acquisition by the foreign affiliate of shares of its capital stock,
if the taxpayer has so elected, in prescribed form and within prescribed time,
in respect of all of the assets so acquired by the taxpayer from the foreign affiliate, subsection (1) applies in respect of each such asset, or
in respect of all amounts received or to be received by the taxpayer as or on account of interest on all of the assets so acquired by the taxpayer from the foreign affiliate, subsection (2) applies in respect of each such asset,
as if the assets were expropriation assets acquired by the taxpayer as consideration for the sale of foreign property that consisted of shares of the capital stock of the foreign affiliate owned by the taxpayer immediately before the assets were so acquired and that was sold to a particular issuer as described in subsection (1).
In this section, adjusted principal amount to a taxpayer of an expropriation asset at any particular time means the amount, if any, by which
the total of the principal amount of the asset and, in respect of each interest amount received by the taxpayer on the asset before the particular time, the lesser of the tax referred to in subparagraph (2)(b)(i) in respect of that interest amount and the proportion determined under subparagraph (2)(b)(ii) in respect thereof,
exceeds
the total of each amount received by the taxpayer before the particular time as an interest amount on the asset and each amount received by the taxpayer before the particular time as, on account or in lieu of payment of, or in satisfaction of, the principal amount of the asset.
For the purposes of this section, the adjusted principal amount, at any particular time, of an expropriation asset or of any asset assumed for the purposes of this section to be an expropriation asset shall be computed in the currency in which the principal amount of the asset is, under the terms thereof, payable, except that for greater certainty, for the purposes of paragraph (2)(a), the adjusted principal amount at any particular time of such an asset is its adjusted principal amount at that time computed as provided in this subsection but expressed in Canadian currency.
For the purposes of Subdivision C and subsection (2), and in applying subsections (7) and (8) for those purposes, where two or more expropriation assets that were
issued by the government of a country other than Canada, or
issued by a person resident in a country other than Canada and guaranteed by the government of that country
at the same time, or as compensation for, or consideration for the sale of, the same foreign property, have been acquired by a taxpayer and the taxpayer has so elected, in prescribed form and within prescribed time, in respect of all of the expropriation assets that were so issued or guaranteed by the government of that country and acquired by the taxpayer before the making of the election, all of those expropriation assets shall be considered to be a single expropriation asset that was issued or guaranteed by the government of that country and acquired by the taxpayer.
Subsections (2) to (13) apply if
in a taxation year, a taxpayer, under the terms of a contract, pays to a person (referred to in this section as the “recipient”) an amount (referred to in this section as the “specified amount”) that may reasonably be considered to be received by the recipient as a reimbursement of, or a contribution or an allowance in respect of, an amount (referred to in this section as the “original amount”)
that was described by paragraph 18(1)(m) and was paid or payable by the recipient, or
that was, in respect of the recipient, an amount described by paragraph 12(1)(o);
the original amount is paid or became payable or receivable in a taxation year or fiscal period of the recipient that begins before 2007; and
the taxpayer is resident in Canada or carries on business in Canada when the specified amount is paid.
If the specified amount is paid in a taxation year of the taxpayer that begins before 2008, the eligible portion of the specified amount, referred to in subsection (11), is deemed to be a payment described by paragraph 18(1)(m). If, however, the specified amount is paid in a taxation year of the taxpayer that begins after 2007, the specified amount is deemed, for the purpose of applying this section to the taxpayer, to be nil.
For the purpose of applying paragraph 18(1)(m) for the taxpayer’s taxation year in which the specified amount was paid, the amount to which that paragraph applies is to be determined for that taxation year
if the taxpayer was in existence at the time the original amount became receivable by a person referred to in subparagraph 12(1)(o)(i) or became payable to a person referred to in subparagraph 18(1)(m)(i), as if the specified amount were paid by the taxpayer at that time; and
in any other case, as if
the taxpayer were in existence and had a calendar taxation year at the time the original amount became receivable by a person referred to in subparagraph 12(1)(o)(i) or became payable to a person referred to in subparagraph 18(1)(m)(i), and
the specified amount were paid by the taxpayer at that time.
Subsection (3) does not apply to a specified amount paid by a taxpayer if
the recipient is a partnership;
the original amount became receivable by a person referred to in subparagraph 12(1)(o)(i) or became payable to a person referred to in subparagraph 18(1)(m)(i), in a particular fiscal period of the partnership;
the taxpayer is a member of the partnership at the end of the particular fiscal period; and
the taxpayer paid the specified amount before the end of the taxation year of the taxpayer in which that particular fiscal period ends.
A specified amount paid by the taxpayer to a partnership is deemed to have been paid on the last day of a particular taxation year of the taxpayer, and not at the time it was paid, if
the taxpayer paid an amount to the partnership in the particular taxation year (referred to in this subsection as the “initial payment”);
the initial payment was paid before September 17, 2004;
the initial payment is an amount to which subsection (3) did not apply because of subsection (4);
the taxpayer’s share of the original amount in respect of the initial payment is greater than the initial payment;
the specified amount is equal to or less than the difference between the taxpayer’s share of the original amount in respect of the initial payment and the initial payment;
the taxpayer elects in the taxpayer’s return of income for the taxpayer’s taxation year that includes the time at which the specified amount would, if this Act were read without reference to this subsection, have been paid, to have this subsection apply to the specified amount; and
the specified amount is paid before 2006.
The recipient shall include in computing the recipient’s income for the taxation year or fiscal period in which the original amount was paid or became payable or receivable, the amount, if any, by which the eligible portion of the specified amount exceeds the portion of the original amount that was included in computing the income of the recipient for the taxation year or fiscal period because of paragraph 12(1)(o) or that was not deductible in computing the income of the recipient for the taxation year or fiscal period because of paragraph 18(1)(m).
For the purpose of subsection (6), the portion of the original amount that was included in computing the income of the recipient or that was not deductible in computing the income of the recipient is the amount that would be included in computing the income of the recipient under paragraph 12(1)(o) or that would not be deductible in computing the income of the recipient under paragraph 18(1)(m), if the original amount were equal to the eligible portion of the specified amount.
The recipient shall include, in computing the recipient’s income for its taxation year or fiscal period in which the original amount was paid or became payable or receivable, the amount, if any, by which the specified amount exceeds the eligible portion of the specified amount.
Subject to paragraphs 18(1)(a) and (b), the taxpayer may deduct in computing the taxpayer’s income for the taxpayer’s taxation year in which the specified amount was paid, the amount, if any, by which the specified amount exceeds the eligible portion of the specified amount.
Except for the purposes of this section and subparagraph 53(1)(e)(iv.1),
the taxpayer is deemed not to have paid, and not to have been obligated to pay, the specified amount; and
the recipient is deemed not to have received, and not to have been entitled to receive, the specified amount.
The eligible portion of a specified amount is
an amount equal to the specified amount if
the specified amount was paid before September 17, 2004,
the original amount is a tax imposed under a provincial law on the production of
petroleum, natural gas or related hydrocarbons from a natural accumulation of petroleum or natural gas (other than a mineral resource) located in Canada, or from an oil or gas well located in Canada if the petroleum, natural gas or related hydrocarbons are not, before extraction, owned by the Crown in right of Canada or a province, or
metals, minerals or coal from a mineral resource located in Canada if the metals, minerals or coal are not, before extraction, owned by the Crown in right of Canada or a province,
the specified amount does not exceed the taxpayer’s share of the original amount, or
the original amount is a prescribed amount; and
the taxpayer’s share of the original amount, in any other case.
A taxpayer’s share of an original amount in respect of a specified amount paid by the taxpayer to a recipient in respect of a property is the amount that may reasonably be considered to be the taxpayer’s share of the total of all amounts described in paragraph 12(1)(o) or 18(1)(m) in respect of the property, which share may not exceed the total of
that proportion of the total of all amounts described in paragraph 12(1)(o) or 18(1)(m) in respect of the property that the taxpayer’s share of production from the property payable to the taxpayer as a royalty, which royalty is computed without reference to the costs of exploration or production, is of the total production from the property, and
that proportion of the total of all amounts described in paragraph 12(1)(o) or 18(1)(m) in respect of the property (other than those amounts which the recipient has received or is entitled to receive as a reimbursement, contribution or allowance in respect of a royalty described in paragraph (a)) that the taxpayer’s share of the income from the property is of the total income from the property.
For the purpose of applying Part XII of the Income Tax Regulations, an original amount in respect of which a specified amount is received is deemed, for the taxation year in which the original amount was paid or became payable or receivable, not to include an amount equal to the eligible portion of the specified amount.
In this section,

Where a particular amount in respect of the forced destruction of livestock under statutory authority in a taxation year of a taxpayer is included in computing the income of the taxpayer for the year from a farming business, there may be deducted in computing that income such amount as the taxpayer claims not exceeding the particular amount.
The amount deducted under subsection (2) in computing the income of a taxpayer from a farming business for a taxation year shall be deemed to be income of the taxpayer from the business for the taxpayer’s immediately following taxation year.
If in a taxation year a taxpayer carries on a farming business in a region that is at any time in the year a prescribed drought region or a prescribed region of flood or excessive moisture and the taxpayer’s breeding herd at the end of the year in respect of the business does not exceed 85% of the taxpayer’s breeding herd at the beginning of the year in respect of the business, there may be deducted in computing the taxpayer’s income from the business for the year the amount that the taxpayer claims, not exceeding the amount, if any, determined by the formula(A - B) × C where A is the amount by which the total of all amounts included in computing the taxpayer’s income for the year from the business in respect of the sale of breeding animals in the year exceeds the total of all amounts deducted under paragraph 20(1)(n) in computing the taxpayer’s income from the business for the year in respect of an amount referred to in paragraph (a) of this description; B is the total of all amounts deducted in computing the taxpayer’s income from the business for the year in respect of the acquisition of breeding animals; and C is 30% where the taxpayer’s breeding herd at the end of the year in respect of the business exceeds 70% of the taxpayer’s breeding herd at the beginning of the year in respect of the business, and 90% where the taxpayer’s breeding herd at the end of the year in respect of the business does not exceed 70% of the taxpayer’s breeding herd at the beginning of the year in respect of the business.
The amount deducted under subsection (4) in computing the income of a taxpayer for a particular taxation year from a farming business carried on in a region prescribed under that subsection may, to the extent that the taxpayer so elects, be included in computing the taxpayer’s income from the business for a taxation year ending after the particular taxation year, and is, except to the extent that the amount has been included under this subsection in computing the taxpayer’s income from the business for a preceding taxation year after the particular year, deemed to be income of the taxpayer from the business for the taxation year of the taxpayer that is the earliest of
the first taxation year beginning after the end of the period or series of continuous periods, as the case may be, for which the region is prescribed under that subsection,

none of the parties received the loan or incurred the debt by virtue of an office or employment or by virtue of the shareholding of a person or partnership, and
the ordinary business of the creditor included the lending of money,
that was included in computing the income of a person or partnership under this Part.

if the taxpayer is an individual, the total of all amounts each of which is, or is deemed by paragraph 260(12)(b) to have been, paid by the taxpayer in the taxation year and deemed by subsection 260(5.1) to have been received by another person as an eligible dividend;
if the taxpayer is an individual, other than a trust that is a registered charity, the total of
18% of the amount determined under paragraph (a) in respect of the taxpayer for the taxation year, and
the product of the amount determined under paragraph (a.1) in respect of the taxpayer for the taxation year multiplied by
for taxation years that end after 2005 and before 2010, 45%,
for the 2010 taxation year, 44%,
for the 2011 taxation year, 41%, and
for taxation years that end after 2011, 38%;
all taxable dividends received by the taxpayer in the taxation year, from corporations resident in Canada, under dividend rental arrangements of the taxpayer;
all taxable dividends (other than taxable dividends described in paragraph (c)) received by the taxpayer in the taxation year from corporations resident in Canada that are not taxable Canadian corporations; and
if the taxpayer is a trust, all amounts each of which is all or part of a taxable dividend (other than a taxable dividend described in paragraph (c) or (d)) that was received by the trust in the taxation year on a share of the capital stock of a taxable Canadian corporation and that can reasonably be considered to have been included in computing the income of a beneficiary under the trust who was non-resident at the end of the taxation year.
An amount shall be included in the amounts described in paragraph (1)(c) in respect of a taxable dividend received at any time as part of a dividend rental arrangement only if that dividend was received on a share acquired before that time and after April, 1989.
Where by reason of subsection 56(4) or 56(4.1) or sections 74.1 to 75 of this Act or section 74 of the Income Tax Act, chapter 148 of the Revised Statutes of Canada, 1952, there is included in computing a taxpayer’s income for a taxation year a dividend received by another person, for the purposes of this Act, the dividend shall be deemed to have been received by the taxpayer.
Where the amount that would, but for this subsection, be deductible under subsection 118(1) by reason of paragraph 118(1)(a) in computing a taxpayer’s tax payable under this Part for a taxation year that is less than the amount that would be so deductible if no amount were required by subsection (1) to be included in computing the income for the year of the taxpayer’s spouse or common-law partner and the taxpayer so elects in the taxpayer’s return of income for the year under this Part, all amounts described in paragraph (1)(a) or (a.1) received in the year from taxable Canadian corporations by the taxpayer’s spouse or common-law partner are deemed to have been so received by that taxpayer and not by the spouse or common-law partner.
Where a qualifying dividend has been paid by a public corporation to shareholders of a series of tax-deferred preferred shares of a class of the capital stock of the corporation that were outstanding on March 31, 1977, the following rules apply:
no part of the qualifying dividend shall be included in computing the income of any shareholder of the corporation by virtue of this Subdivision; and
in computing the adjusted cost base to any shareholder of the corporation of any tax-deferred preferred share of the corporation owned by the shareholder, there shall be deducted in respect of the qualifying dividend an amount as provided by subparagraph 53(2)(a)(i).
Where at any particular time after 1971 a dividend becomes payable by a private corporation to shareholders of any class of shares of its capital stock and the corporation so elects in respect of the full amount of the dividend, in prescribed manner and prescribed form and at or before the particular time or the first day on which any part of the dividend was paid if that day is earlier than the particular time, the following rules apply:
the dividend shall be deemed to be a capital dividend to the extent of the corporation’s capital dividend account immediately before the particular time; and
no part of the dividend shall be included in computing the income of any shareholder of the corporation.
Notwithstanding subsection 83(2), where a dividend that, but for this subsection, would be a capital dividend is paid on a share of the capital stock of a corporation and the share (or another share for which the share was substituted) was acquired by its holder in a transaction or as part of a series of transactions one of the main purposes of which was to receive the dividend,
the dividend shall, for the purposes of this Act (other than for the purposes of Part III and computing the capital dividend account of the corporation), be deemed to be received by the shareholder and paid by the corporation as a taxable dividend and not as a capital dividend; and
paragraph 83(2)(b) does not apply in respect of the dividend.
Subsection 83(2.1) does not apply in respect of a particular dividend, in respect of which an election is made under subsection 83(2), paid on a share of the capital stock of a particular corporation to an individual where it is reasonable to consider that all or substantially all of the capital dividend account of the particular corporation immediately before the particular dividend became payable consisted of amounts other than any amount
added to that capital dividend account under paragraph (b) of the definition capital dividend account in subsection 89(1) in respect of a dividend received on a share of the capital stock of another corporation, which share (or another share for which the share was substituted) was acquired by the particular corporation in a transaction or as part of a series of transactions one of the main purposes of which was that the particular corporation receive the dividend, but not in respect of a dividend where it is reasonable to consider that the purpose of paying the dividend was to distribute an amount that was received by the other corporation and included in computing the other corporation’s capital dividend account by reason of paragraph (d) of that definition;
added to that capital dividend account under paragraph 87(2)(z.1) as a result of an amalgamation or winding-up or a series of transactions including the amalgamation or winding-up that would not have been so added had the amalgamation or winding-up occurred or the series of transactions been commenced after 4:00 p.m. Eastern Daylight Saving Time, September 25, 1987;
added to that capital dividend account at a time when the particular corporation was controlled, directly or indirectly, in any manner whatever, by one or more non-resident persons; or
in respect of a capital gain from a disposition of a property by the particular corporation or another corporation that may reasonably be considered as having accrued while the property (or another property for which it was substituted) was a property of a corporation that was controlled, directly or indirectly, in any manner whatever, by one or more non-resident persons.
Subsection 83(2.1) does not apply in respect of a dividend, in respect of which an election is made under subsection 83(2), paid on a share of the capital stock of a corporation where it is reasonable to consider that the purpose of paying the dividend was to distribute an amount that was received by the corporation and included in computing its capital dividend account by reason of paragraph (d) of the definition capital dividend account in subsection 89(1).
Subsection 83(2.1) does not apply in respect of a particular dividend, in respect of which an election is made under subsection 83(2), paid on a share of the capital stock of a particular corporation to a corporation (in this subsection referred to as the “related corporation”) related (otherwise than by reason of a right referred to in paragraph 251(5)(b)) to the particular corporation where it is reasonable to consider that all or substantially all of the capital dividend account of the particular corporation immediately before the particular dividend became payable consisted of amounts other than any amount
added to that capital dividend account under paragraph (b) of the definition capital dividend account in subsection 89(1) in respect of a dividend received on a share of the capital stock of another corporation if it is reasonable to consider that any portion of the capital dividend account of that other corporation immediately before that dividend became payable consisted of amounts added to that account under paragraph 87(2)(z.1) or paragraph (b) of that definition as a result of a transaction or a series of transactions that would not have been so added had the transaction occurred or the series of transactions been commenced after 4:00 p.m. Eastern Daylight Saving Time, September 25, 1987;
that represented the capital dividend account of a corporation before it became related to the related corporation;
added to the capital dividend account of the particular corporation at a time when that corporation was controlled, directly or indirectly, in any manner whatever, by one or more non-resident persons;
in respect of a capital gain from a disposition of a property by the particular corporation or another corporation that may reasonably be considered as having accrued while the property (or another property for which it was substituted) was a property of a corporation that was controlled, directly or indirectly, in any manner whatever, by one or more non-resident persons; or
in respect of a capital gain from a disposition of a property (or another property for which it was substituted) that may reasonably be considered as having accrued while the property or the other property was a property of a person that was not related to the related corporation.
Where at any particular time after 1974 a dividend has become payable by a corporation to shareholders of any class of shares of its capital stock, and subsection 83(1) or (2) would have applied to the dividend except that the election referred to therein was not made on or before the day on or before which the election was required by that subsection to be made, the election shall be deemed to have been made at the particular time or on the first day on which any part of the dividend was paid, whichever is the earlier, if
the election is made in prescribed manner and prescribed form;
an estimate of the penalty in respect of that election is paid by the corporation when that election is made; and
the directors or other person or persons legally entitled to administer the affairs of the corporation have, before the time the election is made, authorized the election to be made.
The Minister may at any time, by written request served personally or by registered mail, request that an election referred to in subsection 83(3) be made by a taxpayer, and where the taxpayer on whom such a request is served does not comply therewith within 90 days of service thereof on the taxpayer, subsection 83(3) does not apply to such an election made by the taxpayer.
For the purposes of this section, the penalty in respect of an election referred to in paragraph 83(3)(a) is an amount equal to the lesser of
1% per annum of the amount of the dividend referred to in the election for each month or part of a month during the period commencing with the time that the dividend became payable, or the first day on which any part of the dividend was paid if that day is earlier, and ending with the day on which that election was made, and
the product obtained when $500 is multiplied by the proportion that the number of months or parts of months during the period referred to in paragraph 83(4)(a) bears to 12.
The Minister shall, with all due dispatch, examine each election referred to in paragraph 83(3)(a), assess the penalty payable and send a notice of assessment to the corporation and the corporation shall pay, forthwith to the Receiver General, the amount, if any, by which the penalty so assessed exceeds the total of all amounts previously paid on account of that penalty.
For the purposes of subsection 83(1), qualifying dividend means a dividend on shares of a series of a class of the capital stock of a public corporation that is prescribed to be a tax-deferred preferred series that became payable by the corporation after 1978 and not later than
where the terms as at March 31, 1977 of the shares of that series entitled the holder of such a share to exchange it after a particular date for a share or shares of another series or class of preferred shares of the capital stock of the corporation, that particular date,
where the terms as at March 31, 1977 of the shares of that series required the corporation to offer to purchase at a time not later than a particular date all of the shares of that series from all of the holders of those shares, that particular date, and
in any other case, October 1, 1991,
whichever is applicable in respect of that series of shares, except that a dividend on shares of such a series that would otherwise be a qualifying dividend shall be deemed not to be a qualifying dividend if
at the time that the dividend became payable, the terms of the shares of that series differ from the terms as at March 31, 1977 of the shares of that series, or
after March 31, 1977 the corporation issued additional shares of that series.
For the purposes of this section, where, after March 31, 1977, there has been an amalgamation within the meaning of section 87 and one or more of the predecessor corporations had a series of shares outstanding on March 31, 1977 that was prescribed to be a tax-deferred preferred series, the following rules apply:
the series of shares of the capital stock of the predecessor corporation that was prescribed to be a tax-deferred preferred series shall be deemed to have been continued in existence in the form of the new shares; and
the new corporation shall be deemed to be the same corporation as, and a continuation of, each such predecessor corporation.
Where a corporation resident in Canada has at any time after 1971 increased the paid-up capital in respect of the shares of any particular class of its capital stock, otherwise than by
payment of a stock dividend,
a transaction by which
the value of its assets less its liabilities has been increased, or
its liabilities less the value of its assets have been decreased,
a transaction by which the paid-up capital in respect of the shares of all other classes of its capital stock has been reduced by an amount not less than the amount of the increase in the paid-up capital in respect of the shares of the particular class,
if the corporation is an insurance corporation, any action by which it converts contributed surplus related to its insurance business (other than any portion of that contributed surplus that arose in connection with an investment, as defined in subsection 212.3(10), to which subsection 212.3(2) applies) into paid-up capital in respect of the shares of its capital stock,
if the corporation is a bank, any action by which it converts any of its contributed surplus that arose on the issuance of shares of its capital stock (other than any portion of that contributed surplus that arose in connection with an investment, as defined in subsection 212.3(10), to which subsection 212.3(2) applies) into paid-up capital in respect of shares of its capital stock, or
if the corporation is neither an insurance corporation nor a bank, any action by which it converts into paid-up capital in respect of a class of shares of its capital stock any of its contributed surplus that arose after March 31, 1977 (other than any portion of that contributed surplus that arose in connection with an investment, as defined in subsection 212.3(10), to which subsection 212.3(2) applies)
on the issuance of shares of that class or shares of another class for which the shares of that class were substituted (other than an issuance to which section 51, 66.3, 84.1, 85, 85.1, 86 or 87, subsection 192(4.1) or 194(4.1) or section 212.1 applied),
on the acquisition of property by the corporation from a person who at the time of the acquisition held any of the issued shares of that class or shares of another class for which shares of that class were substituted for no consideration or for consideration that did not include shares of the capital stock of the corporation, or
as a result of any action by which the paid-up capital in respect of that class of shares or in respect of shares of another class for which shares of that class were substituted was reduced by the corporation, to the extent of the reduction in paid-up capital that resulted from the action,
the amount, if any, of the increase referred to in subparagraph 84(1)(b)(i) or the decrease referred to in subparagraph 84(1)(b)(ii), as the case may be,
the amount, if any, of the reduction referred to in paragraph 84(1)(c), and
the amount, if any, of the increase in the paid-up capital that resulted from a conversion referred to in paragraph 84(1)(c.1), (c.2) or (c.3),
Where funds or property of a corporation resident in Canada have at any time after March 31, 1977 been distributed or otherwise appropriated in any manner whatever to or for the benefit of the shareholders of any class of shares in its capital stock, on the winding-up, discontinuance or reorganization of its business, the corporation shall be deemed to have paid at that time a dividend on the shares of that class equal to the amount, if any, by which
the amount or value of the funds or property distributed or appropriated, as the case may be,
the amount, if any, by which the paid-up capital in respect of the shares of that class is reduced on the distribution or appropriation, as the case may be,
Where at any time after December 31, 1977 a corporation resident in Canada has redeemed, acquired or cancelled in any manner whatever (otherwise than by way of a transaction described in subsection 84(2)) any of the shares of any class of its capital stock,
the corporation shall be deemed to have paid at that time a dividend on a separate class of shares comprising the shares so redeemed, acquired or cancelled equal to the amount, if any, by which the amount paid by the corporation on the redemption, acquisition or cancellation, as the case may be, of those shares exceeds the paid-up capital in respect of those shares immediately before that time; and
a dividend shall be deemed to have been received at that time by each person who held any of the shares of that separate class at that time equal to that portion of the amount of the excess determined under paragraph 84(3)(a) that the number of those shares held by the person immediately before that time is of the total number of shares of that separate class that the corporation has redeemed, acquired or cancelled, at that time.
Where at any time after March 31, 1977 a corporation resident in Canada has reduced the paid-up capital in respect of any class of shares of its capital stock otherwise than by way of a redemption, acquisition or cancellation of any shares of that class or a transaction described in subsection 84(2) or (4.1),
the corporation shall be deemed to have paid at that time a dividend on shares of that class equal to the amount, if any, by which the amount paid by it on the reduction of the paid-up capital, exceeds the amount by which the paid-up capital in respect of that class of shares of the corporation has been so reduced; and
a dividend shall be deemed to have been received at that time by each person who held any of the issued shares at that time equal to that proportion of the amount of the excess referred to in paragraph 84(4)(a) that the number of the shares of that class held by the person immediately before that time is of the number of the issued shares of that class outstanding immediately before that time.
Any amount paid by a public corporation on the reduction of the paid-up capital in respect of any class of shares of its capital stock, otherwise than by way of a redemption, acquisition or cancellation of any shares of that class or by way of a transaction described in subsection (2) or section 86, is deemed to have been paid by the corporation and received by the person to whom it was paid, as a dividend, unless
the amount may reasonably be considered to be derived from proceeds of disposition realized by the public corporation, or by a person or partnership in which the public corporation had a direct or indirect interest at the time that the proceeds were realized, from a transaction that occurred
outside the ordinary course of the business of the corporation, or of the person or partnership that realized the proceeds, and
within the period that commenced 24 months before the payment; and
no amount that may reasonably be considered to be derived from those proceeds was paid by the public corporation on a previous reduction of the paid-up capital in respect of any class of shares of its capital stock.
Where, at any time after November 16, 1978, the paid-up capital in respect of a term preferred share owned by a shareholder that is
a specified financial institution, or
a partnership or trust of which a specified financial institution or a person related to such an institution was a member or a beneficiary,
Where at any time after 1987 the paid-up capital in respect of a share of the capital stock of a particular corporation owned
by a shareholder that is another corporation to which subsection 112(2.2) or (2.4) would, if the particular corporation were a taxable Canadian corporation, apply to deny the deduction under subsection 112(1) or (2) or 138(6) of a dividend received on the share, or
by a partnership or trust of which the other corporation is a member or beneficiary, as the case may be,
Where
the amount of property distributed by a corporation or otherwise appropriated to or for the benefit of its shareholders as described in paragraph 84(2)(a), or
the amount paid by a corporation as described in paragraph 84(3)(a) or (4)(a),
in computing the amount referred to in paragraph 84(5)(a) at any time, the share shall be valued at an amount equal to its paid-up capital at that time, and
in computing the amount referred to in paragraph 84(5)(b) at any time, the share shall be valued at an amount equal to the amount by which the paid-up capital in respect of the class of shares to which it belongs has increased by virtue of its issue.
Subsection 84(2) or (3), as the case may be, is not applicable
in respect of any transaction or event, to the extent that subsection 84(1) is applicable in respect of that transaction or event; and
in respect of any purchase by a corporation of any of its shares in the open market, if the corporation acquired those shares in the manner in which shares would normally be purchased by any member of the public in the open market.
A dividend that is deemed by this section or section 84.1, 128.1 or 212.1 to have been paid at a particular time is deemed, for the purposes of this subdivision and sections 131 and 133, to have become payable at that time.
Subsection 84(3) does not apply to deem a dividend to have been received by a shareholder of a public corporation where the shareholder is an individual resident in Canada who deals at arm’s length with the corporation and the shares redeemed, acquired or cancelled are prescribed shares of the capital stock of the corporation.
For greater certainty it is declared that where a shareholder of a corporation has disposed of a share of the capital stock of the corporation as a result of the redemption, acquisition or cancellation of the share by the corporation, the shareholder shall, for the purposes of this Act, be deemed to have disposed of the share to the corporation.
For the purpose of paragraph 84(1)(c.3), there shall be deducted in determining at any time a corporation’s contributed surplus that arose after March 31, 1977 in any manner described in that paragraph the lesser of
the amount, if any, by which the amount of a dividend paid by the corporation at or before that time and after March 31, 1977 and when it was a public corporation exceeded its retained earnings immediately before the payment of the dividend, and
the amount of its contributed surplus immediately before the payment of the dividend referred to in paragraph 84(10)(a) that arose after March 31, 1977.
For the purpose of subparagraph 84(1)(c.3)(ii), where the property acquired by the corporation (in this subsection referred to as the “acquiring corporation”) consists of shares (in this subsection referred to as the “subject shares”) of any class of the capital stock of another corporation resident in Canada (in this subsection referred to as the “subject corporation”) and, immediately after the acquisition of the subject shares, the subject corporation would be connected (within the meaning that would be assigned by subsection 186(4) if the references in that subsection to “payer corporation” and “particular corporation” were read as “subject corporation” and “acquiring corporation”, respectively) with the acquiring corporation, the contributed surplus of the acquiring corporation that arose on the acquisition of the subject shares shall be deemed to be the lesser of
the amount added to the contributed surplus of the acquiring corporation on the acquisition of the subject shares, and
the amount, if any, by which the paid-up capital in respect of the subject shares at the time of the acquisition exceeded the fair market value of any consideration given by the acquiring corporation for the subject shares.
Where after May 22, 1985 a taxpayer resident in Canada (other than a corporation) disposes of shares that are capital property of the taxpayer (in this section referred to as the “subject shares”) of any class of the capital stock of a corporation resident in Canada (in this section referred to as the “subject corporation”) to another corporation (in this section referred to as the “purchaser corporation”) with which the taxpayer does not deal at arm’s length and, immediately after the disposition, the subject corporation would be connected (within the meaning assigned by subsection 186(4) if the references therein to “payer corporation” and to “particular corporation” were read as “subject corporation” and “purchaser corporation” respectively) with the purchaser corporation,
where shares (in this section referred to as the “new shares”) of the purchaser corporation have been issued as consideration for the subject shares, in computing the paid-up capital, at any particular time after the issue of the new shares, in respect of any particular class of shares of the capital stock of the purchaser corporation, there shall be deducted an amount determined by the formula(A - B) × C/A where A is the increase, if any, determined without reference to this section as it applies to the acquisition of the subject shares, in the paid-up capital in respect of all shares of the capital stock of the purchaser corporation as a result of the issue of the new shares, B is the amount, if any, by which the greater of the paid-up capital, immediately before the disposition, in respect of the subject shares, and subject to paragraphs 84.1(2)(a) and 84.1(2)(a.1), the adjusted cost base to the taxpayer, immediately before the disposition, of the subject shares, exceeds the fair market value, immediately after the disposition, of any consideration (other than the new shares) received by the taxpayer from the purchaser corporation for the subject shares, and C is the increase, if any, determined without reference to this section as it applies to the acquisition of the subject shares, in the paid-up capital in respect of the particular class of shares as a result of the issue of the new shares; and
for the purposes of this Act, a dividend shall be deemed to be paid to the taxpayer by the purchaser corporation and received by the taxpayer from the purchaser corporation at the time of the disposition in an amount determined by the formula(A + D) - (E + F) where A is the increase, if any, determined without reference to this section as it applies to the acquisition of the subject shares, in the paid-up capital in respect of all shares of the capital stock of the purchaser corporation as a result of the issue of the new shares, D is the fair market value, immediately after the disposition, of any consideration (other than the new shares) received by the taxpayer from the purchaser corporation for the subject shares, E is the greater of the paid-up capital, immediately before the disposition, in respect of the subject shares, and subject to paragraphs 84.1(2)(a) and 84.1(2)(a.1), the adjusted cost base to the taxpayer, immediately before the disposition, of the subject shares, and F is the total of all amounts each of which is an amount required to be deducted by the purchaser corporation under paragraph 84.1(1)(a) in computing the paid-up capital in respect of any class of shares of its capital stock by virtue of the acquisition of the subject shares.
For the purposes of this section,
where a share disposed of by a taxpayer was acquired by the taxpayer before 1972, the adjusted cost base to the taxpayer of the share at any time shall be deemed to be the total of
the amount that would be its adjusted cost base to the taxpayer if the Income Tax Application Rules were read without reference to subsections 26(3) and (7) of that Act, and
the total of all amounts each of which is an amount received by the taxpayer after 1971 and before that time as a dividend on the share and in respect of which the corporation that paid the dividend has made an election under subsection 83(1);
where a share disposed of by a taxpayer was acquired by the taxpayer after 1971 from a person with whom the taxpayer was not dealing at arm’s length, was a share substituted for such a share or was a share substituted for a share owned by the taxpayer at the end of 1971, the adjusted cost base to the taxpayer of the share at any time shall be deemed to be the amount, if any, by which its adjusted cost base to the taxpayer, otherwise determined, exceeds the total of
where the share or a share for which the share was substituted was owned at the end of 1971 by the taxpayer or a person with whom the taxpayer did not deal at arm’s length, the amount in respect of that share equal to the amount, if any, by which exceeds the total of
the fair market value of the share or the share for which it was substituted, as the case may be, on valuation day (within the meaning assigned by section 24 of the Income Tax Application Rules)
the actual cost (within the meaning assigned by subsection 26(13) of that Act) of the share or the share for which it was substituted, as the case may be, on January 1, 1972, to the taxpayer or the person with whom the taxpayer did not deal at arm’s length, and
the total of all amounts each of which is an amount received by the taxpayer or the person with whom the taxpayer did not deal at arm’s length after 1971 and before that time as a dividend on the share or the share for which it was substituted and in respect of which the corporation that paid the dividend has made an election under subsection 83(1), and
the total of all amounts each of which is an amount determined after 1984 under subparagraph 40(1)(a)(i) in respect of a previous disposition of the share or a share for which the share was substituted (or such lesser amount as is established by the taxpayer to be the amount in respect of which a deduction under section 110.6 was claimed) by the taxpayer or an individual with whom the taxpayer did not deal at arm’s length;
[Repealed, 1998, c. 19, s. 115(1)]
in respect of any disposition described in subsection 84.1(1) by a taxpayer of shares of the capital stock of a subject corporation to a purchaser corporation, the taxpayer shall, for greater certainty, be deemed not to deal at arm’s length with the purchaser corporation if the taxpayer
was, immediately before the disposition, one of a group of fewer than 6 persons that controlled the subject corporation, and
was, immediately after the disposition, one of a group of fewer than 6 persons that controlled the purchaser corporation, each member of which was a member of the group referred to in subparagraph 84.1(2)(b)(i); and
[Repealed, 1998, c. 19, s. 115(2)]
a trust and a beneficiary of the trust or a person related to a beneficiary of the trust shall be deemed not to deal with each other at arm’s length.
[Repealed, 1998, c. 19, s. 115(3)]
For the purpose of paragraph 84.1(2)(a.1),
where at any time a corporation issues a share of its capital stock to a taxpayer, the taxpayer and the corporation are deemed not to be dealing with each other at arm’s length at that time;
where a taxpayer is deemed by paragraph 110.6(19)(a) to have reacquired a share, the taxpayer is deemed to have acquired the share at the beginning of February 23, 1994 from a person with whom the taxpayer was not dealing at arm’s length; and
where a share owned by a particular person, or a share substituted for that share, has by one or more transactions or events between persons not dealing at arm’s length become vested in another person, the particular person and the other person are deemed at all times not to be dealing at arm’s length with each other whether or not the particular person and the other person coexisted.
For the purposes of subparagraph 84.1(2)(a.1)(ii), where the taxpayer or an individual with whom the taxpayer did not deal at arm’s length (in this subsection referred to as the “transferor”) disposes of a share in a taxation year and claims an amount under subparagraph 40(1)(a)(iii) in computing the gain for the year from the disposition, the amount in respect of which a deduction under section 110.6 was claimed in respect of the transferor’s gain from the disposition shall be deemed to be equal to the lesser of
the total of
the amount claimed under subparagraph 40(1)(a)(iii) by the transferor for the year in respect of the disposition, and
twice the amount deducted under section 110.6 in computing the taxable income of the transferor for the year in respect of the taxable capital gain from the disposition, and
twice the maximum amount that could have been deducted under section 110.6 in computing the taxable income of the transferor for the year in respect of the taxable capital gain from the disposition if
no amount had been claimed by the transferor under subparagraph 40(1)(a)(iii) in computing the gain for the year from the disposition, and
all amounts deducted under section 110.6 in computing the taxable income of the transferor for the year in respect of taxable capital gains from dispositions of property to which this subsection does not apply were deducted before determining the maximum amount that could have been deducted under section 110.6 in respect of the taxable capital gain from the disposition,
and for the purposes of subparagraph 84.1(2.1)(b)(ii), 1/2 of the total of all amounts determined under this subsection for the year in respect of other property disposed of before the disposition of the share shall be deemed to have been deducted under section 110.6 in computing the taxable income of the transferor for the year in respect of the taxable capital gain from the disposition of property to which this subsection does not apply,
and, for the purposes of this subsection, where more than one share to which this subsection applies is disposed of in the year, each such share shall be deemed to have been separately disposed of in the order designated by the taxpayer in the taxpayer’s return of income under this Part for the year.
For the purpose of paragraph 84.1(2)(b),
in determining whether or not a taxpayer referred to in that paragraph was a member of a group of fewer than 6 persons that controlled a corporation at any time, any shares of the capital stock of that corporation owned at that time by
the taxpayer’s child (as defined in subsection 70(10)), who is under 18 years of age, or the taxpayer’s spouse or common-law partner,

a group of persons in respect of a corporation means any 2 or more persons each of whom owns shares of the capital stock of the corporation;
a corporation that is controlled by one or more members of a particular group of persons in respect of that corporation is considered to be controlled by that group of persons; and
a corporation may be controlled by a person or a particular group of persons even though the corporation is also controlled or deemed to be controlled by another person or group of persons.
In computing the paid-up capital at any time after May 22, 1985 in respect of any class of shares of the capital stock of a corporation, there shall be added an amount equal to the lesser of
the amount, if any, by which
the total of all amounts each of which is an amount deemed by subsection 84(3), 84(4) or 84(4.1) to be a dividend on shares of the class paid after May 22, 1985 and before that time by the corporation

the amount that the paid-up capital limit of the corporation would have been on March 31, 1977 if paragraph 89(1)(d) of the Income Tax Act, chapter 148 of the Revised Statutes of Canada, 1952, as it read at that date, were read without reference to clause 89(1)(d)(iv.1)(F) of that Act and without reference to all subparagraphs of paragraph 89(1)(d) of that Act except subparagraphs 89(1)(d)(iv.1) and (vii) of that Act, and
the paid-up capital limit of the corporation on March 31, 1977,
that the paid-up capital on April 1, 1977, determined without reference to this section, in respect of the particular class of shares is of the paid-up capital on April 1, 1977, determined without reference to this section, in respect of all of the issued and outstanding shares of the capital stock of the corporation; and

the amount required by paragraph 84.2(1)(a) to be deducted in computing the paid-up capital of shares of the particular class.
In computing, after March 31, 1977, the adjusted cost base to an individual of a debt that was owing to the individual by a corporation on March 31, 1977, there shall be deducted the amount of any dividend that would have been deemed to have been received by the individual on that day if the corporation had paid the debt in full on that day.
Where, after March 31, 1977 and before 1979, any debt referred to in subsection 84.2(2) owing by a corporation and held by an individual on March 31, 1977 and continuously after that date until conversion, is converted into shares of a particular class of the capital stock of the corporation,
subsection 84.2(2) shall not apply in respect of the debt; and
in computing the paid-up capital in respect of the shares of the particular class at any particular time after the conversion,
there shall be deducted the amount by which the adjusted cost base to the taxpayer of the debt would, but for paragraph 84.2(3)(a), have been reduced by virtue of subsection 84.2(2), and
there shall be added an amount equal to the lesser of
the amount, if any, by which exceeds
the total of all amounts deemed by subsection 84(3), 84(4) or 84(4.1) to be a dividend on shares of the particular class paid by the corporation after the conversion and before the particular time,

the cost to the taxpayer of any particular property (other than shares of the capital stock of the corporation or a right to receive any such shares) received by the taxpayer as consideration for the disposition shall be deemed to be an amount equal to the lesser of
the fair market value of the particular property at the time of the disposition, and

For the purposes of subsection 85(1), eligible property means
a capital property (other than real or immovable property, an option in respect of such property, or an interest in real property or a real right in an immovable, owned by a non-resident person);
a capital property that is real or immovable property, an option in respect of such property, or an interest in real property or a real right in an immovable, owned by a non-resident insurer if that property and the property received as consideration for that property are designated insurance property for the year;

a NISA Fund No. 2, if that property is owned by an individual.
Notwithstanding subsection (1.1), a foreign resource property, or an interest in a partnership that derives all or part of its value from one or more foreign resource properties, is not an eligible property of a taxpayer in respect of a disposition by the taxpayer to a corporation where
the taxpayer and the corporation do not deal with each other at arm’s length; and
it is reasonable to conclude that one of the purposes of the disposition, or a series of transactions or events of which the disposition is a part, is to increase the extent to which any person may claim a deduction under section 126.
Subsection 85(1) does not apply to a disposition by a taxpayer to a corporation of a property referred to in paragraph 85(1.1)(h) unless
immediately after the disposition, the corporation is controlled by the taxpayer, a person or persons related (otherwise than because of a right referred to in paragraph 251(5)(b)) to the taxpayer or the taxpayer and a person or persons so related to the taxpayer;
the disposition is part of a transaction or series of transactions in which all or substantially all of the property used in the business referred to in paragraph 85(1.1)(h) is disposed of by the taxpayer to the corporation; and

the taxpayer;
a corporation that is a wholly owned corporation of the taxpayer; or

Where
a partnership has disposed, to a taxable Canadian corporation for consideration that includes shares of the corporation’s capital stock, of any partnership property that was
a capital property (other than real or immovable property, an option in respect of such property, or an interest in real property or a real right in an immovable, if the partnership was not a Canadian partnership at the time of the disposition),
a property described in any of paragraphs 85(1.1)(c) to 85(1.1)(f), or
a property that would be described in paragraph 85(1.1)(g) or 85(1.1)(g.1) if the references in those paragraphs to “taxpayer” were read as “partnership”, and
the corporation and all the members of the partnership have jointly so elected, in prescribed form and within the time referred to in subsection 85(6),
Where subsection 85(1) or 85(2) applies to a disposition of property (other than a disposition of property to which section 84.1 or 212.1 applies) to a corporation by a person or partnership (in this subsection referred to as the “taxpayer”),
in computing the paid-up capital in respect of any particular class of shares of the capital stock of the corporation at the time of, and at any time after, the issue of shares of the capital stock of the corporation in consideration for the disposition of the property, there shall be deducted an amount determined by the formula(A - B) × C/A where A is the increase, if any, determined without reference to this section as it applies to the disposition of the property, in the paid-up capital in respect of all the shares of the capital stock of the corporation as a result of the acquisition by the corporation of the property, B is the amount, if any, by which the corporation’s cost of the property, immediately after the acquisition, determined under subsection 85(1) or 85(2), as the case may be, exceeds the fair market value, immediately after the acquisition, of any consideration (other than shares of the capital stock of the corporation) received by the taxpayer from the corporation for the property, and C is the increase, if any, determined without reference to this section as it applies to the disposition of the property, in the paid-up capital in respect of the particular class of shares as a result of the acquisition by the corporation of the property; and
in computing the paid-up capital, at any time after November 21, 1985, in respect of any class of shares of the capital stock of a corporation, there shall be added an amount equal to the lesser of
the amount, if any, by which exceeds
the total of all amounts each of which is an amount deemed by subsection 84(3), 84(4) or 84(4.1) to be a dividend on shares of that class paid after November 21, 1985 and before that time by the corporation
the total of such dividends that would be determined under clause 85(2.1)(b)(i)(A) if this Act were read without reference to paragraph 85(2.1)(a), and
the total of all amounts required by paragraph 85(2.1)(a) to be deducted in computing the paid-up capital in respect of that class of shares after November 21, 1985 and before that time.
Where,
in respect of any disposition of partnership property of a partnership to a corporation, subsection 85(2) applies,
the affairs of the partnership were wound up within 60 days after the disposition, and
immediately before the winding-up there was no partnership property other than money or property received from the corporation as consideration for the disposition,
the cost to any member of the partnership of any property (other than shares of the capital stock of the corporation or a right to receive any such shares) received by the member as consideration for the disposition of the member’s partnership interest on the winding-up shall be deemed to be the fair market value of the property at the time of the winding-up,
the cost to any member of the partnership of any preferred shares of any class of the capital stock of the corporation receivable by the member as consideration for the disposition of the member’s partnership interest on the winding-up shall be deemed to be
where any common shares of the capital stock of the corporation were also receivable by the member as consideration for the disposition of the interest, the lesser of
the fair market value, immediately after the winding-up, of the preferred shares of that class so receivable by the member, and
that proportion of the amount, if any, by which the adjusted cost base to the member of the member’s partnership interest immediately before the winding-up exceeds the total of the fair market value, at the time of the winding-up, of the consideration (other than shares of the capital stock of the corporation or a right to receive any such shares) received by the member for the disposition of the interest, that is of
the fair market value, immediately after the winding-up, of the preferred shares of that class so receivable by the member,
the fair market value, immediately after the winding-up, of all preferred shares of the capital stock of the corporation receivable by the member as consideration for the disposition, and
in any other case, the amount determined under clause 85(3)(e)(i)(B),
the cost to any member of the partnership of any common shares of any class of the capital stock of the corporation receivable by the member as consideration for the disposition of the member’s partnership interest on the winding-up shall be deemed to be that proportion of the amount, if any, by which the adjusted cost base to the member of the member’s partnership interest immediately before the winding-up exceeds the total of the fair market value, at the time of the winding-up, of the consideration (other than shares of the capital stock of the corporation or a right to receive any such shares) received by the member for the disposition of the interest and the cost to the member of all preferred shares of the capital stock of the corporation receivable by the member as consideration for the disposition of the interest, that

where the partnership has distributed partnership property referred to in paragraph 85(3)(c) to a member of the partnership, the partnership shall be deemed to have disposed of that property for proceeds equal to the cost amount to the partnership of the property immediately before its distribution.
[Repealed, 1998, c. 19, s. 116(3)]
Where subsection 85(1) or 85(2) has applied to a disposition at any time of depreciable property to a person (in this subsection referred to as the “transferee”) and the capital cost to the transferor of the property exceeds the transferor’s proceeds of disposition of the property, for the purposes of sections 13 and 20 and any regulations made for the purpose of paragraph 20(1)(a),
the capital cost to the transferee of the property is deemed to be the amount that was its capital cost to the transferor; and
the excess is deemed to have been deducted by the transferee under paragraph 20(1)(a) in respect of the property in computing income for taxation years that ended before that time.
If subsection (1) has applied in respect of the acquisition at any particular time of any depreciable property by a corporation from an individual, the cost of the property to the individual was included in computing an amount under paragraph 8(1)(r) or (s) in respect of the individual, and the amount that would be the cost of the property to the individual immediately before the transfer if this Act were read without reference to subsection 8(7) (which amount is in this subsection referred to as the “individual’s original cost”) exceeds the individual’s proceeds of disposition of the property,
the capital cost to the corporation of the property is deemed to be equal to the individual’s original cost; and
the amount by which the individual’s original cost exceeds the individual’s proceeds of disposition in respect of the property is deemed to have been deducted by the corporation under paragraph 20(1)(a) in respect of the property in computing income for taxation years that ended before that particular time.
Any election under subsection 85(1) or 85(2) shall be made on or before the day that is the earliest of the days on or before which any taxpayer making the election is required to file a return of income pursuant to section 150 for the taxation year in which the transaction to which the election relates occurred.
Where the election referred to in subsection 85(6) was not made on or before the day on or before which the election was required by that subsection to be made and that day is after May 6, 1974, the election shall be deemed to have been made on that day if, on or before the day that is 3 years after that day,
the election is made in prescribed form; and
an estimate of the penalty in respect of that election is paid by the taxpayer or the partnership, as the case may be, when that election is made.
Where, in the opinion of the Minister, the circumstances of a case are such that it would be just and equitable
to permit an election under subsection 85(1) or 85(2) to be made after the day that is 3 years after the day on or before which the election was required by subsection 85(6) to be made, or
to permit an election made under subsection 85(1) or 85(2) to be amended,
the election or amended election is made in prescribed form, and
an estimate of the penalty in respect of the election or amended election is paid by the taxpayer or partnership, as the case may be, when the election or amended election is made,
For the purposes of this section, the penalty in respect of an election or an amended election referred to in paragraph 85(7)(a) or 85(7.1)(c) is an amount equal to the lesser of
1/4 of 1% of the amount, if any, by which
the fair market value of the property in respect of which that election or amended election was made, at the time the property was disposed of,
the amount agreed on in the election or amended election by the taxpayer or partnership, as the case may be, and the corporation,
an amount, not exceeding $8,000, equal to the product obtained by multiplying $100 by the number of months each of which is a month all or part of which is during the period referred to in paragraph 85(8)(a).
The Minister shall, with all due dispatch, examine each election and amended election referred to in paragraph 85(7)(a) or 85(7.1)(c), assess the penalty payable and send a notice of assessment to the taxpayer or partnership, as the case may be, and the taxpayer or partnership, as the case may be, shall pay forthwith to the Receiver General the amount, if any, by which the penalty so assessed exceeds the total of all amounts previously paid on account of that penalty.
Where shares of any particular class of the capital stock of a Canadian corporation (in this section referred to as the “purchaser”) are issued to a taxpayer (in this section referred to as the “vendor”) by the purchaser in exchange for a capital property of the vendor that is shares of any particular class of the capital stock (in this section referred to as the “exchanged shares”) of another corporation that is a taxable Canadian corporation (in this section referred to as the “acquired corporation”), subject to subsection 85.1(2),
except where the vendor has, in the vendor’s return of income for the taxation year in which the exchange occurred, included in computing the vendor’s income for that year any portion of the gain or loss, otherwise determined, from the disposition of the exchanged shares, the vendor shall be deemed
to have disposed of the exchanged shares for proceeds of disposition equal to the adjusted cost base to the vendor of those shares immediately before the exchange, and
to have acquired the shares of the purchaser at a cost to the vendor equal to the adjusted cost base to the vendor of the exchanged shares immediately before the exchange,
and where the exchanged shares were taxable Canadian property of the vendor, the shares of the purchaser so acquired by the vendor are deemed to be, at any time that is within 60 months after the exchange, taxable Canadian property of the vendor; and
the cost to the purchaser of each exchanged share, at any time up to and including the time the purchaser disposed of the share, shall be deemed to be the lesser of
its fair market value immediately before the exchange, and
its paid-up capital immediately before the exchange.
Subsection 85.1(1) does not apply where
the vendor and purchaser were, immediately before the exchange, not dealing with each other at arm’s length (otherwise than because of a right referred to in paragraph 251(5)(b) that is a right of the purchaser to acquire the exchanged shares);
the vendor or persons with whom the vendor did not deal at arm’s length, or the vendor together with persons with whom the vendor did not deal at arm’s length,
controlled the purchaser, or
beneficially owned shares of the capital stock of the purchaser having a fair market value of more than 50% of the fair market value of all of the outstanding shares of the capital stock of the purchaser,
immediately after the exchange;
the vendor and the purchaser have filed an election under subsection 85(1) or 85(2) with respect to the exchanged shares;
consideration other than shares of the particular class of the capital stock of the purchaser was received by the vendor for the exchanged shares, notwithstanding that the vendor may have disposed of shares of the capital stock of the acquired corporation (other than the exchanged shares) to the purchaser for consideration other than shares of one class of the capital stock of the purchaser; or
the vendor
is a foreign affiliate of a taxpayer resident in Canada at the end of the taxation year of the vendor in which the exchange occurred, and
has included any portion of the gain or loss, otherwise determined, from the disposition of the exchanged shares in computing its foreign accrual property income for the taxation year of the vendor in which the exchange occurred.
Where, at any time, a purchaser has issued shares of its capital stock as a result of an exchange to which subsection 85.1(1) applied, in computing the paid-up capital in respect of any particular class of shares of its capital stock at any particular time after that time
there shall be deducted that proportion of the amount, if any, by which
the increase, if any, as a result of the issue, in the paid-up capital in respect of all the shares of the capital stock of the purchaser, computed without reference to this subsection as it applies to the issue,
exceeds
the paid-up capital in respect of all the exchanged shares received as a result of the exchange
that
the increase, if any, as a result of the issue, in the paid-up capital in respect of the particular class of shares, computed without reference to this subsection as it applies to the issue,
is of
the amount, if any, determined in subparagraph 85.1(2.1)(a)(i) in respect of the issue; and
there shall be added an amount equal to the lesser of
the amount, if any, by which exceeds
the total of all amounts each of which is an amount deemed by subsection 84(3), 84(4) or 84(4.1) to be a dividend on shares of that class paid by the purchaser before the particular time
the total that would be determined under clause 85.1(2.1)(b)(i)(A) if this Act were read without reference to paragraph 85.1(2.1)(a), and
the total of all amounts required by paragraph 85.1(2.1)(a) to be deducted in respect of that particular class of shares before the particular time.
For the purposes of subsection (1), if a purchaser issues shares of a class of its capital stock (in this subsection referred to as “purchaser shares”) to a trust under a court-approved plan or scheme of arrangement in consideration for which a vendor disposes of exchanged shares that trade on a designated stock exchange to the purchaser solely for purchaser shares that are widely traded on a designated stock exchange immediately after and as part of completion of the plan or scheme of arrangement, the issuance to the trust is deemed to be an issuance to the vendor.
Where a taxpayer has disposed of capital property that was shares of the capital stock of a foreign affiliate of the taxpayer to any corporation that was, immediately following the disposition, a foreign affiliate of the taxpayer (in this subsection referred to as the “acquiring affiliate”) for consideration including shares of the capital stock of the acquiring affiliate,
the cost to the taxpayer of any property (other than shares of the capital stock of the acquiring affiliate) receivable by the taxpayer as consideration for the disposition shall be deemed to be the fair market value of the property at the time of the disposition;
the cost to the taxpayer of any shares of any class of the capital stock of the acquiring affiliate receivable by the taxpayer as consideration for the disposition shall be deemed to be that proportion of the amount, if any, by which the total of the adjusted cost bases to the taxpayer, immediately before the disposition, of the shares disposed of exceeds the fair market value at that time of the consideration receivable for the disposition (other than shares of the capital stock of the acquiring affiliate) that
the fair market value, immediately after the disposition, of those shares of the acquiring affiliate of that class
is of
the fair market value, immediately after the disposition, of all shares of the capital stock of the acquiring affiliate receivable by the taxpayer as consideration for the disposition;
the taxpayer’s proceeds of disposition of the shares shall be deemed to be an amount equal to the cost to the taxpayer of all shares and other property receivable by the taxpayer from the acquiring affiliate as consideration for the disposition; and
the cost to the acquiring affiliate of the shares acquired from the taxpayer shall be deemed to be an amount equal to the taxpayer’s proceeds of disposition referred to in paragraph 85.1(3)(c).
Subsection (3) does not apply in respect of a disposition at any time by a taxpayer of a share of the capital stock of a particular foreign affiliate of the taxpayer to another foreign affiliate of the taxpayer if
both
all or substantially all of the property of the particular affiliate was, immediately before that time, excluded property (within the meaning assigned by subsection 95(1)) of the particular affiliate, and
the disposition is part of a transaction or event or a series of transactions or events for the purpose of disposing of the share to a person or partnership that, immediately after the transaction, event or series, was a person or partnership (other than a foreign affiliate of the taxpayer in respect of which the taxpayer has a qualifying interest (within the meaning assigned by paragraph 95(2)(m)) at the time of the transaction or event or throughout the series, as the case may be) with whom the taxpayer was dealing at arm’s length; or
the adjusted cost base to the taxpayer of the share at that time is greater than the amount that would, in the absence of subsection (3), be the taxpayer’s proceeds of disposition of the share in respect of the disposition.
Subject to subsections (3) and (6) and 95(2), where a corporation resident in a country other than Canada (in this section referred to as the “foreign purchaser”) issues shares of its capital stock (in this section referred to as the “issued foreign shares”) to a vendor in exchange for shares of the capital stock of another corporation resident in a country other than Canada (in this section referred to as the “exchanged foreign shares”) that were immediately before the exchange capital property of the vendor, except where the vendor has, in the vendor’s return of income for the taxation year in which the exchange occurred, included in computing the vendor’s income for that year any portion of the gain or loss, otherwise determined, from the disposition of the exchanged foreign shares, the vendor is deemed
to have disposed of the exchanged foreign shares for proceeds of disposition equal to the adjusted cost base to the vendor of those shares immediately before the exchange, and
to have acquired the issued foreign shares at a cost to the vendor equal to the adjusted cost base to the vendor of the exchanged foreign shares immediately before the exchange,
and where the exchanged foreign shares were taxable Canadian property of the vendor, the issued foreign shares so acquired by the vendor are deemed to be, at any time that is within 60 months after the exchange, taxable Canadian property of the vendor.
Subsection (5) does not apply where
the vendor and foreign purchaser were, immediately before the exchange, not dealing with each other at arm’s length (otherwise than because of a right referred to in paragraph 251(5)(b) that is a right of the foreign purchaser to acquire the exchanged foreign shares);
immediately after the exchange the vendor, persons with whom the vendor did not deal at arm’s length or the vendor together with persons with whom the vendor did not deal at arm’s length
controlled the foreign purchaser, or
beneficially owned shares of the capital stock of the foreign purchaser having a fair market value of more than 50% of the fair market value of all of the outstanding shares of the capital stock of the foreign purchaser;
consideration other than issued foreign shares was received by the vendor for the exchanged foreign shares, notwithstanding that the vendor may have disposed of shares of the capital stock of the other corporation referred to in subsection (5) (other than the exchanged foreign shares) to the foreign purchaser for consideration other than shares of the capital stock of the foreign purchaser;
the vendor
is a foreign affiliate of a taxpayer resident in Canada at the end of the taxation year of the vendor in which the exchange occurred, and
has included any portion of the gain or loss, otherwise determined, from the disposition of the exchanged foreign shares in computing its foreign accrual property income for the taxation year of the vendor in which the exchange occurred; or
the vendor is a foreign affiliate of a taxpayer resident in Canada at the end of the taxation year of the vendor in which the exchange occurred and the exchanged foreign shares are excluded property (within the meaning assigned by subsection 95(1)) of the vendor.
For the purposes of subsection (5), if a foreign purchaser issues shares of a class of its capital stock (in this subsection referred to as foreign purchaser shares) to a trust under a court-approved plan or scheme of arrangement in consideration for which a vendor disposes of exchanged foreign shares that trade on a designated stock exchange to the purchaser solely for foreign purchaser shares that are widely traded on a designated stock exchange immediately after and as part of completion of the plan or scheme of arrangement, the issuance to the trust is deemed to be an issuance to the vendor.
Subsection (8) applies in respect of the disposition before 2013 by a taxpayer of SIFT wind-up entity equity (referred to in subsection (8) as the “particular unit”) to a taxable Canadian corporation if
the disposition occurs during a period (referred to in this subsection and subsection (8) as the “exchange period”) of no more than 60 days at the end of which all of the equity in the SIFT wind-up entity is owned by the corporation;
the taxpayer receives no consideration for the disposition other than a share (referred to in this subsection and subsection (8) as the “exchange share”) of the capital stock of the corporation that is issued during the exchange period to the taxpayer by the corporation;
neither of subsections 85(1) and (2) applies to the disposition; and
all of the exchange shares issued to holders of equity in the SIFT wind-up entity are shares of a single class of the capital stock of the corporation.
If this subsection applies in respect of a disposition by a taxpayer of a particular unit of a SIFT wind-up entity to a corporation for consideration that is an exchange share, the following rules apply:
the taxpayer’s proceeds of disposition of the particular unit, and cost of the exchange share, are deemed to be equal to the cost amount to the taxpayer of the particular unit immediately before the disposition;
if the particular unit was immediately before the disposition taxable Canadian property of the taxpayer, the exchange share is deemed to be, at any time that is within 60 months after the disposition, taxable Canadian property of the taxpayer;
if the exchange share’s fair market value immediately after the disposition exceeds the particular unit’s fair market value at the time of the disposition, the excess is deemed to be an amount that section 15 requires to be included in computing the taxpayer’s income for the taxpayer’s taxation year in which the disposition occurs;
if the particular unit’s fair market value at the time of the disposition exceeds the exchange share’s fair market value immediately after the disposition, and it is reasonable to regard any part of the excess as a benefit that the taxpayer desired to have conferred on a person, or partnership, with whom the taxpayer does not deal at arm’s length, the excess is deemed to be an amount that section 15 requires to be included in computing the taxpayer’s income for the taxpayer’s taxation year in which the disposition occurs;
the cost to the corporation of the particular unit is deemed to be the lesser of
the fair market value of the particular unit immediately before the disposition, and
the amount determined for B in the formula in paragraph (f) in respect of the particular unit; and
in computing the paid-up capital in respect of each class of shares of the capital stock of the corporation at any time after the disposition there shall be deducted the amount determined by the formula(A – B) × C/A where A is the increase, if any, as a result of the disposition, in the paid-up capital in respect of all the shares of the capital stock of the corporation, computed without reference to this paragraph as it applies to the disposition, B is the amount determined by the formula D – E where D is unless subparagraph (ii) applies, the total of all amounts each of which is if the SIFT wind-up entity is a trust, the fair market value of property received by the SIFT wind-up entity on the issuance of the particular unit, or if the SIFT wind-up entity is a partnership, an amount that has at any time been added, in computing the adjusted cost base to any taxpayer of the particular unit on or before the disposition, because of subparagraph 53(1)(e)(iv) or (x), or an amount that would at any time have been added, in computing the adjusted cost base to any taxpayer of the particular unit on or before the disposition, because of subparagraph 53(1)(e)(i) if subsection 96(1) were read without reference to its paragraph (d) and the partnership deducted all amounts otherwise deductible because of that paragraph, and if the SIFT wind-up entity has on or after the end of the exchange period issued a unit, nil, and E is the total of all amounts each of which if the SIFT wind-up entity is a trust, has become payable by the SIFT wind-up entity, in respect of the particular unit, to any holder of the unit on or before the disposition, other than an amount that has become payable out of its income (determined without reference to subsection 104(6)) or capital gains, and if the SIFT wind-up entity is a partnership, has at any time been deducted, in computing the adjusted cost base to any taxpayer of the particular unit on or before the disposition, because of subparagraph 53(2)(c)(iv) or (v), or would have at any time been deducted, in computing the adjusted cost base to any taxpayer of the particular unit on or before the disposition, because of subparagraph 53(2)(c)(i) if subsection 96(1) were read without reference to its paragraph (d) and the partnership deducted all amounts otherwise deductible because of that paragraph, and C is the increase, if any, as a result of the disposition, in the paid-up capital in respect of the class of shares, computed without reference to this paragraph as it applies to the disposition.
Where, at a particular time after May 6, 1974, in the course of a reorganization of the capital of a corporation, a taxpayer has disposed of capital property that was all the shares of any particular class of the capital stock of the corporation that were owned by the taxpayer at the particular time (in this section referred to as the “old shares”), and property is receivable from the corporation therefor that includes other shares of the capital stock of the corporation (in this section referred to as the “new shares”), the following rules apply:
the cost to the taxpayer of any property (other than new shares) receivable by the taxpayer for the old shares shall be deemed to be its fair market value at the time of the disposition;
the cost to the taxpayer of any new shares of any class of the capital stock of the corporation receivable by the taxpayer for the old shares shall be deemed to be that proportion of the amount, if any, by which the total of the adjusted cost bases to the taxpayer, immediately before the disposition, of the old shares exceeds the fair market value at that time of the consideration receivable for the old shares (other than new shares) that
the fair market value, immediately after the disposition, of those new shares of that class,
is of
the fair market value, immediately after the disposition, of all new shares of the capital stock of the corporation receivable by the taxpayer for the old shares; and
the taxpayer shall be deemed to have disposed of the old shares for proceeds of disposition equal to the cost to the taxpayer of all new shares and other property receivable by the taxpayer for the old shares.
Notwithstanding paragraphs 86(1)(b) and 86(1)(c), where a taxpayer has disposed of old shares in circumstances described in subsection 86(1) and the fair market value of the old shares immediately before the disposition exceeds the total of
the cost to the taxpayer of the property (other than new shares) receivable by the taxpayer for the old shares as determined under paragraph 86(1)(a), and
the fair market value of the new shares, immediately after the disposition,
and it is reasonable to regard any portion of the excess (in this subsection referred to as the “gift portion”) as a benefit that the taxpayer desired to have conferred on a person related to the taxpayer, the following rules apply:
the taxpayer shall be deemed to have disposed of the old shares for proceeds of disposition equal to the lesser of
the total of the cost to the taxpayer of the property as determined under paragraph 86(1)(a) and the gift portion
and
the fair market value of the old shares immediately before the disposition,
the taxpayer’s capital loss from the disposition of the old shares shall be deemed to be nil, and
the cost to the taxpayer of any new shares of any class of the capital stock of the corporation receivable by the taxpayer for the old shares shall be deemed to be that proportion of the amount, if any, by which the total of the adjusted cost bases to the taxpayer, immediately before the disposition, of the old shares exceeds the total determined under subparagraph 86(2)(c)(i) that
the fair market value, immediately after the disposition, of the new shares of that class,
is of
the fair market value, immediately after the disposition, of all new shares of the capital stock of the corporation receivable by the taxpayer for the old shares.
Where subsection 86(1) applies to a disposition of shares of the capital stock of a corporation (in this subsection referred to as the “exchange”), in computing the paid-up capital in respect of a particular class of shares of the capital stock of the corporation at any particular time that is the time of, or any time after, the exchange,
there shall be deducted the amount determined by the formula(A - B) × C/A where A is the total of all amounts each of which is the increase, if any, as a result of the exchange, in the paid-up capital in respect of a class of shares of the capital stock of the corporation, computed without reference to this subsection as it applies to the exchange, B is the amount, if any, by which the paid-up capital in respect of the old shares exceeds the fair market value of the consideration (other than shares of the capital stock of the corporation) given by the corporation for the old shares on the exchange, and C is the increase, if any, as a result of the exchange, in the paid-up capital in respect of the particular class of shares, computed without reference to this subsection as it applies to the exchange; and
there shall be added an amount equal to the lesser of
the amount, if any, by which exceeds
the total of all amounts deemed by subsection 84(3), 84(4) or 84(4.1) to be a dividend on shares of that class paid by the corporation before the particular time
the total that would be determined under clause 86(2.1)(b)(i)(A) if this Act were read without reference to paragraph 86(2.1)(a), and
the total of all amounts required by paragraph 86(2.1)(a) to be deducted in respect of that particular class of shares before the particular time.
Subsections 86(1) and 86(2) do not apply in any case where subsection 85(1) or 85(2) applies.
Where a taxpayer has disposed of old shares in circumstances described in subsection 86(1),
there shall be deducted after the disposition in computing the adjusted cost base to the taxpayer of each new share the amount determined by the formula A × B/C where A is the amount, if any, by which the total of all amounts deducted under paragraph 53(2)(g.1) in computing the adjusted cost base to the taxpayer of the old shares immediately before the disposition exceeds the amount that would be the taxpayer’s capital gain for the taxation year that includes the time of the disposition from the disposition of the old shares if paragraph 40(1)(a) were read without reference to subparagraph (iii) of that paragraph, B is the fair market value of the new share at the time it was acquired by the taxpayer in consideration for the disposition of the old shares, and C is the total of all amounts each of which is the fair market value of a new share at the time it was acquired by the taxpayer in consideration for the disposition of the old shares; and
the amount determined under paragraph 86(4)(a) in respect of the acquisition shall be added in computing the adjusted cost base to the taxpayer of the new share after the disposition.
Notwithstanding any other provision of this Part,
the amount of an eligible distribution received by a taxpayer shall not be included in computing the income of the taxpayer; and
subsection 52(2) does not apply to the eligible distribution received by the taxpayer.
For the purpose of this section, a distribution by a particular corporation that is received by a taxpayer is an eligible distribution if
the distribution is with respect to all of the taxpayer’s common shares of the capital stock of the particular corporation (in this section referred to as the “original shares”);
the distribution consists solely of common shares of the capital stock of another corporation that were owned by the particular corporation immediately before their distribution to the taxpayer (in this section referred to as the “spin-off shares”);
in the case of a distribution that is not prescribed,
at the time of the distribution, both corporations are resident in the United States and were never resident in Canada,
at the time of the distribution, the shares of the class that includes the original shares are widely held and
are actively traded on a designated stock exchange in the United States, or
are required, under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 of the United States, as amended from time to time, to be registered with the Securities and Exchange Commission of the United States and are so registered, and
under the provisions of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986 of the United States, as amended from time to time, that apply to the distribution, the shareholders of the particular corporation who are resident in the United States are not taxable in respect of the distribution;
in the case of a distribution that is prescribed,
at the time of the distribution, both corporations are resident in the same country, other than the United States, with which Canada has a tax treaty (in this section referred to as the “foreign country”) and were never resident in Canada,
at the time of the distribution, the shares of the class that includes the original shares are widely held and actively traded on a designated stock exchange,
under the law of the foreign country, those shareholders of the particular corporation who are resident in that country are not taxable in respect of the distribution, and
the distribution is prescribed subject to such terms and conditions as are considered appropriate in the circumstances;
before the end of the sixth month following the day on which the particular corporation first distributes a spin-off share in respect of the distribution, the particular corporation provides to the Minister information satisfactory to the Minister establishing
that, at the time of the distribution, the shares of the class that includes the original shares are shares described in subparagraph (c)(ii) or (d)(ii),
that the particular corporation and the other corporation referred to in paragraph (b) were never resident in Canada,
the date of the distribution,
the type and fair market value of each property distributed to residents of Canada,
the name and address of each resident of Canada that received property with respect to the distribution,
in the case of a distribution that is not prescribed, that the distribution is not taxable under the provisions of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986 of the United States, as amended from time to time, that apply to the distribution,
in the case of a distribution that is prescribed, that the distribution is not taxable under the law of the foreign country, and
such other matters that are required, in prescribed form; and
the taxpayer elects in writing filed with the taxpayer’s return of income for the taxation year in which the distribution occurs that this section apply to the distribution and provides information satisfactory to the Minister
of the number, cost amount (determined without reference to this section) and fair market value of the taxpayer’s original shares immediately before the distribution,
of the number, and fair market value, of the taxpayer’s original shares and the spin-off shares immediately after the distribution of the spin-off shares to the taxpayer,
except where the election is filed with the taxpayer’s return of income for the year in which the distribution occurs, concerning the amount of the distribution, the manner in which the distribution was reported by the taxpayer and the details of any subsequent disposition of original shares or spin-off shares for the purpose of determining any gains or losses from those dispositions, and
of such other matters that are required, in prescribed form.
Where a spin-off share is distributed by a corporation to a taxpayer pursuant to an eligible distribution with respect to an original share of the taxpayer,
there shall be deducted for the purpose of computing the cost amount to the taxpayer of the original share at any time the amount determined by the formula A × (B/C) where A is the cost amount, determined without reference to this section, to the taxpayer of the original share at the time that is immediately before the distribution or, if the original share is disposed of by the taxpayer, before the distribution, at the time that is immediately before its disposition, B is the fair market value of the spin-off share immediately after its distribution to the taxpayer, and C is the total of the fair market value of the original share immediately after the distribution of the spin-off share to the taxpayer, and the fair market value of the spin-off share immediately after its distribution to the taxpayer; and
the cost to the taxpayer of the spin-off share is the amount by which the cost amount of the taxpayer’s original share was reduced as a result of paragraph (a).
For the purpose of calculating the value of the property described in an inventory of a taxpayer’s business,
an eligible distribution to the taxpayer of a spin-off share that is included in the inventory is deemed not to be an acquisition of property in the fiscal period of the business in which the distribution occurs; and
for greater certainty, the value of the spin-off share is to be included in computing the value of the inventory at the end of that fiscal period.
Notwithstanding subsections 152(4) to (5), the Minister may make at any time such assessments, reassessments, determinations and redeterminations that are necessary where information is obtained that the conditions in subparagraph (2)(c)(iii) or (d)(iii) are not, or are no longer, satisfied.
In this section, an amalgamation means a merger of two or more corporations each of which was, immediately before the merger, a taxable Canadian corporation (each of which corporations is referred to in this section as a “predecessor corporation”) to form one corporate entity (in this section referred to as the “new corporation”) in such a manner that
all of the property (except amounts receivable from any predecessor corporation or shares of the capital stock of any predecessor corporation) of the predecessor corporations immediately before the merger becomes property of the new corporation by virtue of the merger,
all of the liabilities (except amounts payable to any predecessor corporation) of the predecessor corporations immediately before the merger become liabilities of the new corporation by virtue of the merger, and
all of the shareholders (except any predecessor corporation), who owned shares of the capital stock of any predecessor corporation immediately before the merger, receive shares of the capital stock of the new corporation because of the merger,
For the purposes of paragraph 87(1)(c) and the Income Tax Application Rules, where there is a merger of
a corporation and one or more of its subsidiary wholly-owned corporations, or
two or more corporations each of which is a subsidiary wholly-owned corporation of the same corporation
Where there has been an amalgamation of corporations described in paragraph (1.1)(a) or of two or more corporations each of which is a subsidiary wholly-owned corporation of the same person, the new corporation is, for the purposes of section 29 of the Income Tax Application Rules, subsection 59(3.3) and sections 66, 66.1, 66.2, 66.21, 66.4 and 66.7, deemed to be the same corporation as, and a continuation of, each predecessor corporation, except that this subsection does not affect the determination of any predecessor corporation’s fiscal period, taxable income or tax payable.
Notwithstanding subsection 248(1), for the purposes of this subsection and subsections 87(1.1), 87(1.2) and 87(2.11), subsidiary wholly-owned corporation of a person (in this subsection referred to as the “parent”) means a corporation all the issued and outstanding shares of the capital stock of which belong to
the parent;
a corporation that is a subsidiary wholly-owned corporation of the parent; or
any combination of persons each of which is a person described in paragraph 87(1.4)(a) or 87(1.4)(b).
For the purpose of this section, financial institution, mark-to-market property and specified debt obligation have the meanings assigned by subsection 142.2(1).
Where there has been an amalgamation of two or more corporations after 1971 the following rules apply
for the purposes of this Act, the corporate entity formed as a result of the amalgamation shall be deemed to be a new corporation the first taxation year of which shall be deemed to have commenced at the time of the amalgamation, and a taxation year of a predecessor corporation that would otherwise have ended after the amalgamation shall be deemed to have ended immediately before the amalgamation;
for the purpose of computing the income of the new corporation, where the property described in the inventory, if any, of the new corporation at the beginning of its first taxation year includes property that was described in the inventory of a predecessor corporation at the end of the taxation year of the predecessor corporation that ended immediately before the amalgamation (which taxation year of a predecessor corporation is referred to in this section as its “last taxation year”), the property so included shall be deemed to have been acquired by the new corporation at the beginning of its first taxation year for an amount determined in accordance with section 10 as the value thereof for the purpose of computing the income of the predecessor corporation for its last taxation year, except that where the income of the predecessor corporation for its last taxation year from a farming business was computed in accordance with the cash method, the amount so determined in respect of inventory owned in connection with that business shall be deemed to be the total of all amounts each of which is an amount included because of paragraph 28(1)(b) or 28(1)(c) in computing that income for that year and, where the income of the new corporation from a farming business is computed in accordance with the cash method, for the purpose of section 28,
an amount equal to that total shall be deemed to have been paid by the new corporation, and
the new corporation shall be deemed to have purchased the property for an amount equal to that total,
in computing the income of the new corporation for a taxation year from a business or property
there shall be included any amount received or receivable (depending on the method followed by the new corporation in computing its income for that year) by it in that year that would, if it had been received or receivable (depending on the method followed by the predecessor corporation in computing its income for its last taxation year) by the predecessor corporation in its last taxation year, have been included in computing the income of the predecessor corporation for that year, and
there may be deducted any amount paid or payable (depending on the method followed by the new corporation in computing its income for that year) by it in that year that would, if it had been paid or payable (depending on the method followed by the predecessor corporation in computing its income for its last taxation year) by the predecessor corporation in its last taxation year, have been deductible in computing the income of the predecessor corporation for that year;
for the purposes of sections 13 and 20 and any regulations made under paragraph 20(1)(a),
where depreciable property of a prescribed class has been acquired by the new corporation from a predecessor corporation, the capital cost of the property to the new corporation shall be deemed to be the amount that was the capital cost of the property to the predecessor corporation, and
in determining the undepreciated capital cost to the new corporation of depreciable property of a prescribed class at any time,
there shall be added to the capital cost to the new corporation of depreciable property of the class acquired before that time the cost amount, immediately before the amalgamation, to a predecessor corporation of each property included in that class by the new corporation,
there shall be subtracted from the capital cost to the new corporation of depreciable property of that class acquired before that time the capital cost to the new corporation of property of that class acquired by virtue of the amalgamation,
a reference in subparagraph 13(5)(b)(ii) to amounts that would have been deducted in respect of property in computing a taxpayer’s income shall be construed as including a reference to amounts that would have been deducted in respect of that property in computing a predecessor corporation’s income, and
where depreciable property that is deemed by subsection 37(6) to be a separate prescribed class has been acquired by the new corporation from a predecessor corporation, the property shall continue to be deemed to be of that same separate prescribed class;
for the purposes of this Act, where depreciable property (other than property of a prescribed class) has been acquired by the new corporation from a predecessor corporation, the new corporation shall be deemed to have acquired the property before 1972 at an actual cost equal to the actual cost of the property to the predecessor corporation, and the new corporation shall be deemed to have been allowed the total of all amounts allowed to the predecessor corporation in respect of the property, under regulations made under paragraph 20(1)(a), in computing the income of the predecessor corporation;

C-67.3, an investment deposit of a credit union is deemed to be a share of a separate class of the capital stock of a predecessor corporation in respect of the amalgamation the adjusted cost base and paid up capital of which to the credit union is equal to the adjusted cost base to the credit union of the investment deposit immediately before the amalgamation if
immediately before the amalgamation, the investment deposit is an investment deposit to which section 425 of the Savings and Credit Unions Act, R.S.Q., c. C-4.1, applies to the investment fund of that predecessor corporation; and
on the amalgamation the credit union disposes of the investment deposit for consideration that consists solely of shares of a class of the capital stock of the new corporation.

Where the cost to a taxpayer of a new option is determined at any time under subsection 87(5),
there shall be deducted after that time in computing the adjusted cost base to the taxpayer of the new option the total of all amounts deducted under paragraph 53(2)(g.1) in computing, immediately before that time, the adjusted cost base to the taxpayer of the old option; and

Subject to subsection 95(2), where there has been a foreign merger in which a taxpayer’s shares or options to acquire shares of the capital stock of a corporation that was a predecessor foreign corporation immediately before the merger were exchanged for or became shares or options to acquire shares of the capital stock of the new foreign corporation or the foreign parent corporation, unless the taxpayer elects in the taxpayer’s return of income for the taxation year in which the foreign merger took place not to have this subsection apply, subsections (4) and (5) apply to the taxpayer as if the references in those subsections to
“amalgamation” were read as “foreign merger”;
“predecessor corporation” were read as “predecessor foreign corporation”; and
“new corporation” were read as “new foreign corporation or the foreign parent corporation”.
For the purposes of this section, foreign merger means a merger or combination of two or more corporations each of which was, immediately before the merger or combination, resident in a country other than Canada (each of which is in this section referred to as a “predecessor foreign corporation”) to form one corporate entity resident in a country other than Canada (in this section referred to as the “new foreign corporation”) in such a manner that, and otherwise than as a result of the distribution of property to one corporation on the winding-up of another corporation,

shares of the capital stock of the new foreign corporation, or

the merger or combination is deemed to be a merger or combination of the predecessor foreign corporations to form one non-resident corporation;
the survivor corporation is deemed to be the non-resident corporation so formed;
all of the properties of the survivor corporation immediately before the merger or combination that are properties of the survivor corporation immediately after the merger or combination are deemed to become properties of the survivor corporation as a consequence of the merger or combination;
all of the liabilities of the survivor corporation immediately before the merger or combination that are liabilities of the survivor corporation immediately after the merger or combination are deemed to become liabilities of the survivor corporation as a consequence of the merger or combination;
all of the shares of the capital stock of the survivor corporation that were outstanding immediately before the merger or combination that are shares of the capital stock of the survivor corporation immediately after the merger or combination are deemed to become shares of the capital stock of the survivor corporation as a consequence of the merger or combination; and
all of the shares of the capital stock of each predecessor foreign corporation (other than the survivor corporation) that were outstanding immediately before the merger or combination and that cease to exist as a consequence of the merger or combination are deemed to be exchanged by the shareholders of each such predecessor corporation for shares of the survivor corporation as a consequence of the merger or combination.
Where there has been a merger of two or more taxable Canadian corporations to form a new corporation that was controlled, immediately after the merger, by a taxable Canadian corporation (in this subsection referred to as the “parent”) and, on the merger, shares of the capital stock of the parent (in this subsection referred to as “parent shares”) were issued by the parent to persons who were, immediately before the merger, shareholders of a predecessor corporation, the following rules apply:
for the purposes of paragraph 87(1)(c), subsection 87(4) and the Income Tax Application Rules, any parent shares received by a shareholder of a predecessor corporation shall be deemed to be shares of the capital stock of the new corporation received by the shareholder by virtue of the merger;
for the purposes of subsections 87(4.1) and 87(4.2), a parent share issued to a shareholder in consideration for the disposition of a share of a class of the capital stock of a predecessor corporation shall be deemed to be a share of a class of the capital stock of the new corporation that was issued in consideration for the disposition of a share of a class of the capital stock of a predecessor corporation by that shareholder;
for the purposes of subsection 87(4.3), a right listed on a designated stock exchange to acquire a share of a class of the capital stock of the parent shall be deemed to be a right listed on a designated stock exchange to acquire a share of a class of the capital stock of the new corporation;
for the purpose of paragraph (4.4)(d)
each parent share received by a shareholder of a predecessor corporation is deemed to be a share of the capital stock of the new corporation issued to the shareholder by the new corporation on the merger, and
any obligation of the parent to issue a share of any class of its capital stock to a person in circumstances described in subparagraph (4.4)(d)(ii) is deemed to be an obligation of the new corporation to issue a share to the person;
for the purpose of applying subsection 87(5) in respect of the merger, the reference in that subsection to “the new corporation” shall be read as a reference to “the parent”;
for the purpose of paragraph 87(9)(c), any shares of the new corporation acquired by the parent on the merger shall be deemed to be new shares;
for the purpose of applying subsection 87(10) in respect of the merger,

the references in paragraphs 87(10)(c) and 87(10)(f) to “the new corporation” shall be read as references to “the public corporation described in paragraph 87(9)(b)”.
in computing, at any particular time, the paid-up capital in respect of any particular class of shares of the capital stock of the parent that included parent shares immediately after the merger
there shall be deducted that proportion of the amount, if any, by which the paid-up capital, determined without reference to this paragraph, in respect of all the shares of the capital stock of the parent immediately after the merger exceeds the total of all amounts each of which is the paid-up capital in respect of a share of the capital stock of the parent or a predecessor corporation (other than any share of a predecessor corporation owned by the parent or by another predecessor corporation and any share of a predecessor corporation owned by a shareholder other than the parent or another predecessor corporation that was not exchanged on the merger for parent shares) immediately before the merger that is of
the paid-up capital, determined without reference to this paragraph, in respect of that particular class of shares of the capital stock of the parent immediately after the merger
the paid-up capital, determined without reference to this paragraph, in respect of all the issued and outstanding shares of the classes of the capital stock of the parent that included parent shares immediately after the merger, and
there shall be added an amount equal to the lesser of
the amount, if any, by which exceeds
the total of all amounts each of which is an amount deemed by subsection 84(3), 84(4) or 84(4.1) to be a dividend on shares of the particular class paid by the parent before the particular time
the total that would be determined under subclause 87(9)(b)(ii)(A)(I) if this Act were read without reference to subparagraph 87(9)(b)(i), and
the amount required by subparagraph 87(9)(b)(i) to be deducted in computing the paid-up capital of shares of the particular class; and
notwithstanding paragraph 87(4)(b), the parent shall be deemed to have acquired the new shares of any particular class of the capital stock of the new corporation at a cost equal to the total of
the amount otherwise determined under paragraph 87(4)(b) to be the cost of those shares, and
in any case where the parent owned, immediately after the merger, all the issued shares of the capital stock of the new corporation, such portion of as is designated by the parent in respect of the shares of that particular class in its return of income under this Part for its taxation year in which the merger occurred, except that
the amount, if any, by which exceeds
the amount by which the total of the money on hand of the new corporation and all amounts each of which is the cost amount to the new corporation of a property owned by it, immediately after the merger, exceeds the total of all amounts each of which is the amount of any debt owing by the new corporation, or of any other obligation of the new corporation to pay any amount, that was outstanding immediately after the merger,
the total of the adjusted cost bases to the parent of all shares of the capital stock of each predecessor corporation beneficially owned by it immediately before the merger
in no case shall the amount so designated in respect of the shares of a particular class exceed the amount, if any, by which the total fair market value, immediately after the merger, of the shares of that particular class issued by virtue of the merger exceeds the cost of those shares to the parent determined without reference to this paragraph, and
in no case shall the total of the amounts so designated in respect of the shares of each class of the capital stock of the new corporation exceed the amount determined under clause 87(9)(c)(ii)(A).
Where
a new corporation is formed as a result of an amalgamation,
the new corporation is a public corporation,

immediately before the amalgamation, the old share was listed on a designated stock exchange, and
the new share is redeemed, acquired or cancelled by the new corporation within 60 days after the amalgamation,
Where at any time there is an amalgamation of a corporation (in this subsection referred to as the “parent”) and one or more other corporations (each of which in this subsection is referred to as the “subsidiary”) each of which is a subsidiary wholly-owned corporation of the parent,
the shares of the subsidiary are deemed to have been disposed of by the parent immediately before the amalgamation for proceeds equal to the proceeds that would be determined under paragraph 88(1)(b) if subsections 88(1) and 88(1.7) applied, with any modifications that the circumstances require, to the amalgamation; and
the cost to the new corporation of each capital property of the subsidiary acquired on the amalgamation is deemed to be the amount that would have been the cost to the parent of the property if the property had been distributed at that time to the parent on a winding-up of the subsidiary and subsections 88(1) and 88(1.7) had applied to the winding-up.
Where a taxable Canadian corporation (in this subsection referred to as the “subsidiary”) has been wound up after May 6, 1974 and not less than 90% of the issued shares of each class of the capital stock of the subsidiary were, immediately before the winding-up, owned by another taxable Canadian corporation (in this subsection referred to as the “parent”) and all of the shares of the subsidiary that were not owned by the parent immediately before the winding-up were owned at that time by persons with whom the parent was dealing at arm’s length, notwithstanding any other provision of this Act other than subsection 69(11), the following rules apply:

the parent was a financial institution in its taxation year in which it received the assets of the subsidiary on the winding up,
the shares of the capital stock of the subsidiary owned by the parent immediately before the winding-up shall be deemed to have been disposed of by the parent on the winding-up for proceeds equal to the greater of
the lesser of the paid-up capital in respect of those shares immediately before the winding-up and the amount determined under subparagraph 88(1)(d)(i), and
the total of all amounts each of which is an amount in respect of any share of the capital stock of the subsidiary so disposed of by the parent on the winding-up, equal to the adjusted cost base to the parent of the share immediately before the winding-up;

in the case of a property that is an interest in a partnership, the amount that but for this paragraph would be the cost to the parent of the property, and
in any other case, the amount, if any, by which exceeds
the amount that would, but for subsection 69(11), be deemed by paragraph 88(1)(a) to be the proceeds of disposition of the property
any reduction of the cost amount to the subsidiary of the property made because of section 80 on the winding-up,
depreciable property,
property transferred to the parent on the winding-up where the transfer is part of a distribution (within the meaning assigned by subsection 55(1)) made in the course of a reorganization in which a dividend was received to which subsection 55(2) would, but for paragraph 55(3)(b), apply,
property acquired by the subsidiary from the parent or from any person or partnership that was not (otherwise than because of a right referred to in paragraph 251(5)(b)) dealing at arm’s length with the parent, or any other property acquired by the subsidiary in substitution for it, where the acquisition was part of the series of transactions or events in which the parent last acquired control of the subsidiary, and
property distributed to the parent on the winding-up where, as part of the series of transactions or events that includes the winding-up,
the parent acquired control of the subsidiary, and
any property distributed to the parent on the winding-up or any other property acquired by any person in substitution therefor is acquired by
a particular person (other than a specified person) that, at any time during the course of the series and before control of the subsidiary was last acquired by the parent, was a specified shareholder of the subsidiary,
2 or more persons (other than specified persons), if a particular person would have been, at any time during the course of the series and before control of the subsidiary was last acquired by the parent, a specified shareholder of the subsidiary if all the shares that were then owned by those 2 or more persons were owned at that time by the particular person, or

for the purposes of paragraphs 12(1)(d), (e), (e.1), (i) and (s), subsection 12.5(8), paragraphs 20(1)(l), (l.1), (p) and (jj) and 20(7)(c), subsections 20(22) and 20.4(4), sections 138, 138.1, 140, 142 and 148 and Part XII.3, the parent is deemed to be the same corporation as, and a continuation of, the subsidiary, and
for the purpose of determining the amount of the gross investment revenue required to be included under subsection 138(9) in the income of the subsidiary and the parent and the amount of gains and losses of the subsidiary and the parent from property used by them in the year or held by them in the year in the course of carrying on an insurance business in Canada
the subsidiary and the parent shall, in addition to their normal taxation years, be deemed to have had a taxation year ending immediately before the time when the property of the subsidiary was transferred to, and the obligations of the subsidiary were assumed by, the parent on the winding-up, and
for the taxation years of the subsidiary and the parent following the time referred to in clause 88(1)(g)(ii)(A), the property transferred to, and the obligations assumed by, the parent on the winding-up shall be deemed to have been transferred or assumed, as the case may be, on the last day of the taxation year ending immediately before that time and the parent shall be deemed to be the same corporation as and a continuation of the subsidiary with respect to that property, those obligations and the insurance businesses carried on by the subsidiary;
for the purposes of subsections 112(5) to 112(5.2) and 112(5.4) and the definition mark-to-market property in subsection 142.2(1), the parent shall be deemed, in respect of each property distributed to it on the winding-up, to be the same corporation as, and a continuation of, the subsidiary; and
for the purpose of subsection 142.5(2), the subsidiary’s taxation year in which its assets were distributed to the parent on the winding-up shall be deemed to have ended immediately before the time when the assets were distributed.
Where a Canadian corporation (in this subsection referred to as the “subsidiary”) has been wound up and not less than 90% of the issued shares of each class of the capital stock of the subsidiary were, immediately before the winding-up, owned by another Canadian corporation (in this subsection referred to as the “parent”) and all the shares of the subsidiary that were not owned by the parent immediately before the winding-up were owned at that time by a person or persons with whom the parent was dealing at arm’s length, for the purpose of computing the taxable income of the parent under this Part and the tax payable under Part IV by the parent for any taxation year commencing after the commencement of the winding-up, such portion of any non-capital loss, restricted farm loss, farm loss or limited partnership loss of the subsidiary as may reasonably be regarded as its loss from carrying on a particular business (in this subsection referred to as the “subsidiary’s loss business”) and any other portion of any non-capital loss or limited partnership loss of the subsidiary as may reasonably be regarded as being derived from any other source or being in respect of a claim made under section 110.5 for any particular taxation year of the subsidiary (in this subsection referred to as the “subsidiary’s loss year”), to the extent that it
was not deducted in computing the taxable income of the subsidiary for any taxation year of the subsidiary, and
would have been deductible in computing the taxable income of the subsidiary for any taxation year beginning after the commencement of the winding-up, on the assumption that it had such a taxation year and that it had sufficient income for that year,
in the case of such portion of any non-capital loss, restricted farm loss, farm loss or limited partnership loss of the subsidiary as may reasonably be regarded as its loss from carrying on the subsidiary’s loss business, be deemed, for the taxation year of the parent in which the subsidiary’s loss year ended, to be a non-capital loss, restricted farm loss, farm loss or limited partnership loss, respectively, of the parent from carrying on the subsidiary’s loss business, that was not deductible by the parent in computing its taxable income for any taxation year that commenced before the commencement of the winding-up,
in the case of any other portion of any non-capital loss or limited partnership loss of the subsidiary as may reasonably be regarded as being derived from any other source, be deemed, for the taxation year of the parent in which the subsidiary’s loss year ended, to be a non-capital loss or a limited partnership loss, respectively, of the parent that was derived from the source from which the subsidiary derived the loss and that was not deductible by the parent in computing its taxable income for any taxation year that commenced before the commencement of the winding-up, and
in the case of any other portion of any non-capital loss of the subsidiary as may reasonably be regarded as being in respect of a claim made under section 110.5, be deemed, for the taxation year of the parent in which the subsidiary’s loss year ended, to be a non-capital loss of the parent in respect of a claim made under section 110.5 that was not deductible by the parent in computing its taxable income for any taxation year that commenced before the commencement of the winding-up,
if control of the parent has been acquired by a person or group of persons at any time after the commencement of the winding-up, or control of the subsidiary has been acquired by a person or group of persons at any time whatever, no amount in respect of the subsidiary’s non-capital loss or farm loss for a taxation year ending before that time is deductible in computing the taxable income of the parent for a particular taxation year ending after that time, except that such portion of the subsidiary’s non-capital loss or farm loss as may reasonably be regarded as its loss from carrying on a business and, where a business was carried on by the subsidiary in that year, such portion of the non-capital loss as may reasonably be regarded as being in respect of an amount deductible under paragraph 110(1)(k) in computing its taxable income for the year is deductible only
if that business is carried on by the subsidiary or the parent for profit or with a reasonable expectation of profit throughout the particular year, and
to the extent of the total of the parent’s income for the particular year from that business and, where properties were sold, leased, rented or developed or services rendered in the course of carrying on that business before that time, from any other business substantially all of the income of which was derived from the sale, leasing, rental or development, as the case may be, of similar properties or the rendering of similar services
any portion of a loss of the subsidiary that would otherwise be deemed by paragraph 88(1.1)(c), 88(1.1)(d) or 88(1.1)(d.1) to be a loss of the parent for a particular taxation year beginning after the commencement of the winding-up shall be deemed, for the purpose of computing the parent’s taxable income for taxation years beginning after the commencement of the winding-up, to be such a loss of the parent for its immediately preceding taxation year and not for the particular year, where the parent so elects in its return of income under this Part for the particular year.
Where the winding-up of a Canadian corporation (in this subsection referred to as the “subsidiary”) commenced after March 31, 1977 and not less than 90% of the issued shares of each class of the capital stock of the subsidiary were, immediately before the winding-up, owned by another Canadian corporation (in this subsection referred to as the “parent”) and all the shares of the subsidiary that were not owned by the parent immediately before the winding-up were owned at that time by persons with whom the parent was dealing at arm’s length, for the purposes of computing the taxable income of the parent for any taxation year commencing after the commencement of the winding-up, any net capital loss of the subsidiary for any particular taxation year of the subsidiary (in this subsection referred to as the “subsidiary’s loss year”), to the extent that it
was not deducted in computing the taxable income of the subsidiary for any taxation year of the subsidiary, and
would have been deductible in computing the taxable income of the subsidiary for any taxation year beginning after the commencement of the winding-up, on the assumption that it had such a taxation year and that it had sufficient income and taxable capital gains for that year,
where at any time control of the parent or subsidiary has been acquired by a person or group of persons, no amount in respect of the subsidiary’s net capital loss for a taxation year ending before that time is deductible in computing the parent’s taxable income for a taxation year ending after that time, and
any portion of a net capital loss of the subsidiary that would otherwise be deemed by this subsection to be a loss of the parent for a particular taxation year beginning after the commencement of the winding-up shall be deemed, for the purposes of computing its taxable income for taxation years beginning after the commencement of the winding-up, to be a net capital loss of the parent for its immediately preceding taxation year and not for the particular year, where the parent so elects in its return of income under this Part for the particular year.

where the parent’s base period consists of fewer than three taxation years, its base period shall be determined on the assumption that it had taxation years in each of the calendar years preceding the year in which it was incorporated, each of which commenced on the same day of the year as the day of its incorporation;
the qualified expenditure made by the parent in a particular taxation year in its base period shall be deemed to be the total of the amount thereof otherwise determined and the qualified expenditure made by the subsidiary in its taxation year ending in the same calendar year as the particular year;
the total of the amounts paid to the parent by persons referred to in subparagraphs (b)(i) to (iii) of the definition expenditure base in subsection 37.1(5) in a particular taxation year in its base period shall be deemed to be the total otherwise determined and all those amounts paid to the subsidiary by a person referred to in those subparagraphs in the subsidiary’s taxation year ending in the same calendar year as the particular year; and
there shall be added to the total of the amounts otherwise determined in respect of the parent under subparagraphs 37.1(3)(b)(i) and 37.1(3)(b)(iii) respectively, the total of the amounts determined under those subparagraphs in respect of the subsidiary.
The definitions in subsection 37.1(5) apply to subsection 88(1.4).
For the purposes of section 29 of the Income Tax Application Rules, subsection 59(3.3) and sections 66, 66.1, 66.2, 66.21, 66.4 and 66.7, where the rules in subsection (1) applied to the winding-up of a subsidiary, its parent is deemed to be the same corporation as, and a continuation of, the subsidiary.
Where a corporation that carries on a farming business and computes its income from that business in accordance with the cash method is wound up in circumstances to which subsection 88(1) applies and, at the time that is immediately before the winding-up of the corporation, owned inventory that was used in connection with that business,
for the purposes of subparagraph 88(1)(a)(iii), the cost amount to the corporation at that time of property purchased by it that is included in that inventory shall be deemed to be the amount determined by the formula(A × B/C) + D where A is the amount, if any, that would be included under paragraph 28(1)(c) in computing the corporation’s income for its last taxation year beginning before that time if that year had ended at that time, B is the value (determined in accordance with subsection 28(1.2)) to the corporation at that time of the purchased inventory that is distributed to the parent on the winding-up, C is the value (determined in accordance with subsection 28(1.2)) of all of the inventory purchased by the corporation that was owned by it in connection with that business at that time, and D is the lesser of such additional amount as the corporation designates in respect of the property, and the amount, if any, by which the fair market value of the property at that time exceeds the amount determined for A in respect of the property;
for the purpose of subparagraph 28(1)(a)(i), the disposition of the inventory and the receipt of the proceeds of disposition therefor shall be deemed to have occurred at that time and in the course of carrying on the business; and

an amount equal to the cost to the parent of the inventory shall be deemed to have been paid by it, and
the parent shall be deemed to have purchased the inventory for an amount equal to that cost,

Subsection (1.9) applies if
a corporation has made a designation (referred to in this subsection and subsection (1.9) as the “initial designation”) under paragraph (1)(d) in respect of a share of the capital stock of a foreign affiliate of the corporation, or an interest in a partnership that, based on the assumptions contained in paragraph 96(1)(c), owns a share of the capital stock of a foreign affiliate of the corporation, on or before the filing-due date for its return of income under this Part for the taxation year in which a disposition of the share or the partnership interest, as the case may be, occurred in the course of a winding-up referred to in subsection (1) or an amalgamation referred to in subsection 87(11);
the corporation made reasonable efforts to determine the foreign affiliate’s tax-free surplus balance (within the meaning assigned by subsection 5905(5.5) of the Income Tax Regulations), in respect of the corporation, that was relevant in the computation of the maximum amount available under subparagraph (1)(d)(ii) to be designated in respect of that disposition; and
the corporation amends the initial designation on or before the day that is 10 years after the filing-due date referred to in paragraph (a).
If this subsection applies and, in the opinion of the Minister, the circumstances are such that it would be just and equitable to permit the initial designation to be amended, the amended designation under paragraph (1.8)(c) is deemed to have been made on the day on which the initial designation was made and the initial designation is deemed not to have been made.
Where a Canadian corporation (other than a subsidiary to the winding-up of which the rules in subsection 88(1) applied) has been wound up after 1978 and, at a particular time in the course of the winding-up, all or substantially all of the property owned by the corporation immediately before that time was distributed to the shareholders of the corporation,

capital gains dividend account (within the meaning assigned by section 133), and
pre-1972 capital surplus on hand,
the taxation year of the corporation that otherwise would have included the particular time shall be deemed to have ended immediately before the time of computation, and a new taxation year shall be deemed to have commenced at that time, and
each property of the corporation that was so distributed at the particular time shall be deemed to have been disposed of by the corporation immediately before the end of the taxation year so deemed to have ended for proceeds equal to the fair market value of the property immediately before the particular time,

the portion of the winding-up dividend equal to the lesser of the corporation’s pre-1972 capital surplus on hand immediately before that time and the amount by which the winding-up dividend exceeds as the case may be, shall be deemed not to be a dividend,
the portion thereof in respect of which the corporation has made an election under subsection 83(2), or
the portion thereof in respect of which the corporation has made an election under subsection 133(7.1),
notwithstanding the definition taxable dividend in subsection 89(1), the winding-up dividend, to the extent that it exceeds the total of the portion thereof deemed by subparagraph 88(2)(b)(i) to be a separate dividend for all purposes and the portion deemed by subparagraph 88(2)(b)(ii) not to be a dividend, shall be deemed to be a separate dividend that is a taxable dividend, and
each person who held any of the issued shares of that class at the particular time shall be deemed to have received that proportion of any separate dividend determined under subparagraph 88(2)(b)(i) or 88(2)(b)(iii) that the number of shares of that class held by the person immediately before the particular time is of the number of issued shares of that class outstanding immediately before that time, and
for the purpose of computing the income of the corporation for its taxation year that includes the particular time, paragraph 12(1)(t) shall be read as follows:

the total of all amounts each of which is an amount in respect of a capital property of the corporation owned by it on December 31, 1971 and disposed of by it after 1978 and before the particular time, equal to the amount, if any, by which the lesser of its fair market value on valuation day (within the meaning assigned by section 24 of the Income Tax Application Rules) and the corporation’s proceeds of disposition of that capital property exceeds its actual cost to the corporation determined without reference to the Income Tax Application Rules other than subsections 26(15), (17) and (21) to (27) of that Act,
where before the particular time a subsidiary (to the winding-up of which the rules in subsection 88(1) applied) of the particular corporation has been wound up after 1978, an amount equal to the pre-1972 capital surplus on hand of the subsidiary immediately before the commencement of the winding-up, and
where the particular corporation is a new corporation formed as a result of an amalgamation (within the meaning of section 87) after 1978 and before the particular time, the total of all amounts each of which is an amount in respect of a predecessor corporation, equal to the predecessor corporation’s pre-1972 capital surplus on hand immediately before the amalgamation
the total of all amounts each of which is an amount in respect of a capital property (other than depreciable property) of the corporation owned by it on December 31, 1971 and disposed of by it after 1978 and before the particular time equal to the amount, if any, by which its actual cost to the corporation determined without reference to the Income Tax Application Rules, other than subsections 26(15), (17) and (21) to (27) of that Act, exceeds the greater of the fair market value of the property on valuation day (within the meaning assigned by section 24 of that Act) and the corporation’s proceeds of disposition of the property.

an amount referred to in paragraphs 88(2.1)(b) and 88(2.1)(e) in respect of the corporation shall be deemed to be nil, where the property disposed of is
a share of the capital stock of a subsidiary, within the meaning of subsection 88(1), that was disposed of on the winding-up of the subsidiary where that winding-up commenced after 1978,
a share of the capital stock of another Canadian corporation that was controlled, within the meaning assigned by subsection 186(2), by the corporation immediately before the disposition and that was disposed of by the corporation after 1978 to a person with whom the corporation was not dealing at arm’s length immediately after the disposition, other than by a disposition referred to in paragraph 88(2.2)(b), or
subject to subsection 26(21) of the Income Tax Application Rules, a share of the capital stock of a particular corporation that was disposed of by the corporation after 1978, on an amalgamation, within the meaning assigned by subsection 87(1), where the corporation controlled, within the meaning assigned by subsection 186(2), both the particular corporation immediately before the amalgamation and the new corporation immediately after the amalgamation; and
where another corporation that is a Canadian corporation owned a capital property on December 31, 1971 and subsequently disposed of it to the corporation in a transaction to which section 85 applied, the other corporation shall be deemed not to have disposed of that property in the transaction and the corporation shall be deemed to have owned that property on December 31, 1971 and to have acquired it at an actual cost equal to the actual cost of that property to the other corporation.
For the purpose of subsection 88(2.1), the actual cost of the depreciable property that was acquired by a corporation before the commencement of its 1949 taxation year that is capital property referred to in that subsection shall be deemed to be the capital cost of that property to the corporation (within the meaning assigned by section 144 of the Income Tax Act, chapter 148 of the Revised Statutes of Canada, 1952, as it read in its application to the 1971 taxation year).
Notwithstanding subsection 69(5), if at any time a taxpayer receives a property (referred to in this subsection as the “distributed property”) from a foreign affiliate (referred to in this subsection as the “disposing affiliate”) of the taxpayer on a liquidation and dissolution of the disposing affiliate and the distributed property is received in respect of shares of the capital stock of the disposing affiliate that are disposed of on the liquidation and dissolution,
subject to subsections (3.3) and (3.5), the distributed property is deemed to have been disposed of at that time by the disposing affiliate to the taxpayer for proceeds of disposition equal to the relevant cost base (within the meaning assigned by subsection 95(4)) to the disposing affiliate of the distributed property in respect of the taxpayer, immediately before that time, if
the liquidation and dissolution is a qualifying liquidation and dissolution of the disposing affiliate, or
the distributed property is a share of the capital stock of another foreign affiliate of the taxpayer that was, immediately before that time, excluded property (within the meaning assigned by subsection 95(1)) of the disposing affiliate;
if paragraph (a) does not apply to the distributed property, the distributed property is deemed to have been disposed of at that time by the disposing affiliate to the taxpayer for proceeds of disposition equal to the distributed property’s fair market value at that time;
the distributed property is deemed to have been acquired, at that time, by the taxpayer at a cost equal to the amount determined under paragraph (a) or (b) to be the disposing affiliate’s proceeds of disposition of the distributed property;
each share (referred to in paragraph (e) and subsections (3.3) and (3.4) as a “disposed share”) of a class of the capital stock of the disposing affiliate that is disposed of by the taxpayer on the liquidation and dissolution is deemed to be disposed of for proceeds of disposition equal to the amount determined by the formula A/B where A is the total of all amounts each of which is the net distribution amount in respect of a distribution of distributed property made, at any time, in respect of the class, and B is the total number of issued and outstanding shares of the class that are owned by the taxpayer during the liquidation and dissolution; and
if the liquidation and dissolution is a qualifying liquidation and dissolution of the disposing affiliate, any loss of the taxpayer in respect of the disposition of a disposed share is deemed to be nil.
For the purposes of subsections (3), (3.3) and (3.5), a qualifying liquidation and dissolution of a foreign affiliate (referred to in this subsection as the “disposing affiliate”) of a taxpayer means a liquidation and dissolution of the disposing affiliate in respect of which the taxpayer elects in accordance with prescribed rules and
the taxpayer owns not less than 90% of the issued and outstanding shares of each class of the capital stock of the disposing affiliate throughout the liquidation and dissolution; or
both
the percentage determined by the following formula is greater than or equal to 90%: A/B where A is the amount, if any, by which the total of all amounts each of which is the fair market value, at the time at which it is distributed, of a property that is distributed by the disposing affiliate to the taxpayer in the course of the liquidation and dissolution in respect of shares of the capital stock of the disposing affiliate exceeds the total of all amounts each of which is an amount owing (other than an unpaid dividend) by, or an obligation of, the disposing affiliate that was assumed or cancelled by the taxpayer in consideration for a property referred to in clause (A), and B is the amount, if any, by which the total of all amounts each of which is the fair market value, at the time at which it is distributed, of a property that is distributed by the disposing affiliate to a shareholder of the disposing affiliate in the course of the liquidation and dissolution in respect of shares of the capital stock of the disposing affiliate exceeds the total of all amounts each of which is an amount owing (other than an unpaid dividend) by, or an obligation of, the disposing affiliate that was assumed or cancelled by a shareholder of the disposing affiliate in consideration for a property referred to in clause (A), and
at the time of each distribution of property by the disposing affiliate in the course of the liquidation and dissolution in respect of shares of the capital stock of the disposing affiliate, the taxpayer holds shares of that capital stock that would, if an annual general meeting of the shareholders of the disposing affiliate were held at that time, entitle it to 90% or more of the votes that could be cast under all circumstances at the meeting.
For the purposes of the description of A in paragraph (3)(d), net distribution amount in respect of a distribution of distributed property means the amount determined by the formula A – B where A is the cost to the taxpayer of the distributed property as determined under paragraph (3)(c), and B is the total of all amounts each of which is an amount owing (other than an unpaid dividend) by, or an obligation of, the disposing affiliate that was assumed or cancelled by the taxpayer in consideration for the distribution of the distributed property.
For the purposes of paragraph (3)(a), if the liquidation and dissolution is a qualifying liquidation and dissolution of the disposing affiliate and the taxpayer would, in the absence of this subsection and, for greater certainty, after taking into account any election under subsection 93(1), realize a capital gain (the amount of which is referred to in subsection (3.4) as the “capital gain amount”) from the disposition of a disposed share, the taxpayer may elect, in accordance with prescribed rules, that distributed property that was, immediately before the disposition, capital property of the disposing affiliate be deemed to have been disposed of by the disposing affiliate to the taxpayer for proceeds of disposition equal to the amount claimed (referred to in subsection (3.4) as the “claimed amount”) by the taxpayer in the election.
An election under subsection (3.3) in respect of distributed property disposed of in the course of the liquidation and dissolution is not valid unless
the claimed amount in respect of each distributed property does not exceed the amount that would, in the absence of subsection (3.3), be determined under paragraph (3)(a) in respect of the distributed property; and
the amount determined by the following formula does not exceed the total of all amounts each of which is the capital gain amount in respect of a disposed share: A – B where A is the total of all amounts that would, in the absence of subsection (3.3), be determined under paragraph (3)(a) to be the proceeds of disposition of a distributed property in respect of which an election under subsection (3.3) is made by the taxpayer, and B is the total of all amounts each of which is the claimed amount in respect of a distributed property referred to in the description of A.
For the purposes of paragraph (3)(a), the distributed property is deemed to have been disposed of by the disposing affiliate to the taxpayer for proceeds of disposition equal to the adjusted cost base of the distributed property to the disposing affiliate immediately before the time of its disposition, if
the liquidation and dissolution is a qualifying liquidation and dissolution of the disposing affiliate;
the distributed property is, at the time of its disposition, taxable Canadian property (other than treaty-protected property) of the disposing affiliate that is a share of the capital stock of a corporation resident in Canada; and
the taxpayer and the disposing affiliate have jointly elected in accordance with prescribed rules.
For the purposes of paragraphs (1)(c), (c.2), (d) and (d.2) and, for greater certainty, paragraphs (c.3) to (c.8) and (d.3),
subject to paragraph 88(4)(c), control of any corporation shall be deemed not to have been acquired because of an amalgamation;
any corporation formed as a result of an amalgamation shall be deemed to be the same corporation as, and a continuation of, each predecessor corporation; and
in the case of an amalgamation described in subsection 87(9), control of a predecessor corporation that was not controlled by the parent before the amalgamation shall be deemed to have been acquired by the parent immediately before the amalgamation.
Subsection (2) applies to a trust’s distribution of property to a taxpayer if
the distribution is a SIFT trust wind-up event;
the trust is
a SIFT wind-up entity whose only beneficiary, at all times at which the trust makes a distribution that is a SIFT trust wind-up event, is a taxable Canadian corporation, or
a trust whose only beneficiary, at all times at which the trust makes a distribution that is a SIFT trust wind-up event, is another trust described by subparagraph (i);
where the trust is a SIFT wind-up entity, the distribution occurs no more than 60 days after the earlier of
the first SIFT trust wind-up event of the trust, and
the first distribution to the trust that is a SIFT trust wind-up event of another trust; and
if the property is shares of the capital stock of a taxable Canadian corporation,
the property was not acquired by the trust on a distribution to which subsection 107(3.1) applies, and
the trust elects in writing, filed with the Minister on or before the trust’s filing-due date for its taxation year that includes the time of the distribution, that this section apply to the distribution.
If this subsection applies to a trust’s distribution of property to a taxpayer, subsections 88(1) to (1.7), and section 87 and paragraphs 256(7)(a) to (e) as they apply for the purposes of those subsections, apply, with any modifications that the circumstances require, as if
the trust were a taxable Canadian corporation (in this subsection referred to as the “subsidiary”) that is not a private corporation;
where the taxpayer is a SIFT wind-up entity, the taxpayer were a taxable Canadian corporation that is not a private corporation;
the distribution were a winding-up of the subsidiary;
the taxpayer’s interest as a beneficiary under the trust were shares of a single class of shares of the capital stock of the subsidiary owned by the taxpayer;

Subject to subsection (12), a corporation that files with the Minister on or before its filing-due date for a particular taxation year an election in prescribed form to have this subsection apply is deemed for the purposes described in paragraph (d) of the definition Canadian-controlled private corporation in subsection 125(7) not to be a Canadian-controlled private corporation at any time in or after the particular taxation year.
If a corporation files with the Minister on or before its filing-due date for a particular taxation year a notice in prescribed form revoking, as of the end of the particular taxation year, an election described in subsection (11), the election ceases to apply to the corporation at the end of the particular taxation year.
If a corporation has, under subsection (12), revoked an election, any subsequent election under subsection (11) or subsequent revocation under subsection (12) is invalid unless
the Minister consents in writing to the subsequent election or the subsequent revocation, as the case may be; and
the corporation complies with any conditions imposed by the Minister.
A corporation designates a portion of a dividend it pays at any time to be an eligible dividend by notifying in writing at that time each person or partnership to whom the dividend is paid that the portion of the dividend is an eligible dividend.
If, in the opinion of the Minister, the circumstances are such that it would be just and equitable to permit a designation under subsection (14) to be made before the day that is three years after the day on which the designation was required to be made, the designation is deemed to have been made at the time the designation was required to be made.
For the purposes of paragraphs 87(2)(vv) and (ww) (including, for greater certainty, in applying those paragraphs as provided under paragraph 88(1)(e.2)), the definitions excessive eligible dividend designation, general rate income pool, and low rate income pool in subsection (1) and subsections (4) to (6) and (8) to (10), a corporation is a deposit insurance corporation if it would be a deposit insurance corporation as defined in the definition deposit insurance corporation in subsection 137.1(5) were that definition read without reference to its paragraph (b) and were this Act read without reference to subsection 137.1(5.1).
In computing the income for a taxation year of a taxpayer resident in Canada, there is to be included any amount received by the taxpayer at any time in the year as, on account or in lieu of payment of, or in satisfaction of, a dividend on a share owned by the taxpayer of the capital stock of a non-resident corporation.
For the purposes of this Act, an amount is deemed to be a dividend paid or received, as the case may be, at any time on a share of a class of the capital stock of a non-resident corporation that is a foreign affiliate of a taxpayer if the amount is the share’s portion of a pro rata distribution (other than a distribution made in the course of a liquidation and dissolution of the corporation, on a redemption, acquisition or cancellation of the share by the corporation, or on a qualifying return of capital in respect of the share) made at that time by the corporation in respect of all the shares of that class.
For the purposes of subsection (2), a distribution made at any time by a foreign affiliate of a taxpayer in respect of a share of the capital stock of the affiliate that is a reduction of the paid-up capital of the affiliate in respect of the share and that would, in the absence of this subsection, be deemed under subsection (2) to be a dividend paid or received, at that time, on the share is a qualifying return of capital, at that time, in respect of the share if an election is made under this subsection, in respect of the distribution and in accordance with prescribed rules,
by the taxpayer, where there is no person or partnership that meets the conditions in subparagraphs (b)(i) and (ii); or
jointly by the taxpayer and each person or partnership that is, at that time,
a connected person or partnership in respect of the taxpayer, and
a person or partnership of which the affiliate would, at that time, be a foreign affiliate if paragraph (b) of the definition equity percentage in subsection 95(4) were read as if the reference in that paragraph to “any corporation” were a reference to “any corporation other than a corporation resident in Canada”.
For the purposes of subsection (3), a connected person or partnership in respect of a taxpayer, at any time, is
a person that is, at that time, related to the taxpayer, and
a partnership a member of which is, at that time,
the taxpayer, or
a person that is related to the taxpayer.
No amount paid or received at any time is, for the purposes of this Act, a dividend paid or received on a share of the capital stock of a non-resident corporation that is a foreign affiliate of a taxpayer unless it is so deemed under this Part.
Except where subsection 15(2) applies, if a person or partnership receives at any time a loan from, or becomes at that time indebted to, a creditor that is at that time a foreign affiliate (referred to in subsections (9), (11) and (15) as the “creditor affiliate”) of a taxpayer resident in Canada or that is at that time a partnership (referred to in subsections (9), (11) and (15) as the “creditor partnership”) of which such an affiliate is a member and the person or partnership is at that time a specified debtor in respect of the taxpayer, then the specified amount in respect of the loan or indebtedness is to be included in computing the income of the taxpayer for the taxpayer’s taxation year that includes that time.
For the purposes of this subsection and subsections (6) and (8) to (15), if at any time a person or partnership (referred to in this subsection as the “intermediate lender”) makes a loan to another person or partnership (in this subsection referred to as the “intended borrower”) because the intermediate lender received a loan from another person or partnership (in this subsection referred to as the “initial lender”)
the loan made by the intermediate lender to the intended borrower is deemed, at that time, to have been made by the initial lender to the intended borrower (to the extent of the lesser of the amount of the loan made by the initial lender to the intermediate lender and the amount of the loan made by the intermediate lender to the intended borrower) under the same terms and conditions and at the same time as it was made by the intermediate lender; and
the loan made by the initial lender to the intermediate lender and the loan made by the intermediate lender to the intended borrower are deemed not to have been made to the extent of the amount of the loan deemed to have been made under paragraph (a).
Subsection (6) does not apply to
a loan or indebtedness that is repaid, other than as part of a series of loans or other transactions and repayments, within two years of the day the loan was made or the indebtedness arose;
indebtedness that arose in the ordinary course of the business of the creditor or a loan made in the ordinary course of the creditor’s ordinary business of lending money if, at the time the indebtedness arose or the loan was made, bona fide arrangements were made for repayment of the indebtedness or loan within a reasonable time; and
a loan that was made, or indebtedness that arose, in the ordinary course of carrying on a life insurance business outside Canada if
the loan or indebtedness is owed by the taxpayer or by a subsidiary wholly-owned corporation of the taxpayer,
the taxpayer, or the subsidiary wholly-owned corporation, as the case may be, is a life insurance corporation resident in Canada,
the loan or indebtedness directly relates to a business of the taxpayer, or of the subsidiary wholly-owned corporation, that is carried on outside Canada, and
the interest on the loan or indebtedness is, or would be if it were otherwise income from property, included in the active business income of the creditor, or if the creditor is a partnership, a member of the partnership, under clause 95(2)(a)(ii)(A).
There may be deducted in computing the income for a taxation year of a corporation resident in Canada a particular amount, in respect of a specified amount included under subsection (6), or an amount included under subsection (12), in computing the corporation’s income for the taxation year in respect of a particular loan or indebtedness, if
the corporation demonstrates that the particular amount is the total of all amounts (not to exceed the amount so included) each of which would — if the specified amount in respect of the particular loan or indebtedness were, at the time (referred to in subparagraph (i) and subsection (11) as the “lending time”) the particular loan was made or the particular indebtedness was incurred, instead paid by the creditor affiliate, or the creditor partnership, as the case may be, to the corporation directly as part of one dividend, or indirectly as part of one or more dividends and, if applicable, partnership distributions — reasonably be considered to have been deductible, in respect of the payment, for the corporation’s taxation year in which the specified amount was included in its income under subsection (6), in computing
the taxable income of the corporation under any of
paragraph 113(1)(a), in respect of the exempt surplus — at the lending time, in respect of the corporation — of a foreign affiliate of the corporation,
paragraph 113(1)(a.1), in respect of the hybrid surplus — at the lending time, in respect of the corporation — of a foreign affiliate of the corporation, if the amount of that hybrid surplus is less than or equal to the amount determined by the formula[A × (B – 0.5)] + (C × 0.5) where A is the affiliate’s hybrid underlying tax in respect of the corporation at the lending time, B is the corporation’s relevant tax factor (within the meaning assigned by subsection 95(1)) for the corporation’s taxation year that includes the lending time, and C is the affiliate’s hybrid surplus in respect of the corporation at the lending time,
paragraph 113(1)(b), in respect of the taxable surplus — at the lending time, in respect of the corporation — of a foreign affiliate of the corporation, and
paragraph 113(1)(d), in respect of the pre-acquisition surplus — at the lending time, in respect of the corporation — of a foreign affiliate of the corporation to the extent of the adjusted cost base to the corporation, at the lending time, of the shares of the capital stock of the affiliate, and except if the specified debtor is
a non-resident person with which the corporation does not deal at arm’s length, or
a partnership any member of which is a person described in subclause (I), or
the income of the corporation under subsection 91(5), in respect of the taxable surplus of a foreign affiliate of the corporation, if the specified debtor is a person or partnership described in subclause (i)(D)(I) or (II);
that exempt surplus, hybrid surplus, taxable surplus, or adjusted cost base is not relevant in applying this subsection in respect of any other loan made or indebtedness incurred, or in respect of any deduction claimed under subsection 91(5) or 113(1) in respect of a dividend paid, during the period in which the particular loan or indebtedness is outstanding; and
that adjusted cost base is not relevant in determining the taxability of any other distribution made during the period in which the particular loan or indebtedness is outstanding.
In applying subsection (9) to a corporation resident in Canada that is a member of a partnership at the end of a fiscal period of the partnership,
each amount that may reasonably be considered to be the corporation’s share (determined in a manner consistent with the determination of the corporation’s share of the income of the partnership under subsection 96(1)) of each specified amount that is required to be included in computing the income of the partnership for that fiscal period under subsection (6), in respect of a particular loan or indebtedness, is deemed to be a specified amount in respect of the particular loan or indebtedness that was included in the corporation’s income, for its taxation year that includes the last day of that fiscal period, under subsection (6);
subparagraph (9)(a)(i) is to be read without reference to its clause (D);
subparagraph (9)(a)(ii) is to be read as follows:
the income of the partnership, referred to in subsection (10), under subsection 91(5), in respect of the taxable surplus of a foreign affiliate of the partnership, to the extent of the amount that may reasonably be considered to be the corporation’s share of that deduction (determined in a manner consistent with the determination of the corporation’s share of the income of the partnership under subsection 96(1));
paragraph (9)(b) is to be read as follows:
that exempt surplus, hybrid surplus, or taxable surplus is not relevant in applying this subsection in respect of any other loan made or indebtedness incurred, or in respect of any deduction claimed under subsection 91(5) or 113(1) in respect of a dividend paid, during the period in which the particular loan or indebtedness is outstanding; and
subsection (9) is to be read without reference to its paragraph (c).
For the purposes of subparagraph (9)(a)(i), the amounts of exempt surplus or exempt deficit, hybrid surplus or hybrid deficit, hybrid underlying tax, taxable surplus or taxable deficit, and underlying foreign tax of the creditor affiliate, or of each foreign affiliate of the corporation that is a member of the creditor partnership, as the case may be, in respect of the corporation, at the lending time are deemed to be the amounts that would be determined, at the lending time, under subparagraph 5902(1)(a)(i) of the Income Tax Regulations if that subparagraph were applicable at the lending time and the references in that subparagraph to “the dividend time” were references to the lending time.
There is to be included in computing the income of a corporation resident in Canada for a particular taxation year any amount deducted by the corporation under subsection (9) in computing the corporation’s income for the taxation year that immediately precedes the particular year.
A corporation may not claim a deduction for a taxation year under subsection (9) in respect of the same portion of the specified amount in respect of a loan or indebtedness for which a deduction is claimed for that year or a preceding year by the corporation, or by a partnership of which the corporation is a member, under subsection (14).
There may be deducted in computing the income of a taxpayer for a particular taxation year the amount determined by the formula A × B/C where A is the specified amount, in respect of a loan or indebtedness, that is included under subsection (6) in computing the taxpayer’s income for a preceding taxation year, B is the portion of the loan or indebtedness that was repaid in the particular year, to the extent it is established, by subsequent events or otherwise, that the repayment was not part of a series of loans or other transactions and repayments, and C is the amount, in respect of the loan or indebtedness, that is referred to in the description of A in the definition specified amount in subsection (15).
The following definitions apply in this section.
specified amount, in respect of a loan or indebtedness that is required by subsection (6) to be included in computing the income of a taxpayer for a taxation year, means the amount determined by the formula A × (B – C) where A is the amount of the loan or indebtedness, and B is, in the case of a creditor affiliate of the taxpayer, the percentage that is or would be, if the taxpayer referred to in subsection (6) were a corporation resident in Canada, the taxpayer’s surplus entitlement percentage (in this definition determined without reference to subsection 5908(1) of the Income Tax Regulations) in respect of the creditor affiliate at the time (referred to in this definition as the “determination time”) referred to in subsection (6), or a creditor partnership of which a foreign affiliate of the taxpayer is a member, the total of each percentage determined, in respect of a member (referred to in this paragraph as a “member affiliate”) of the creditor partnership that is a foreign affiliate of the taxpayer, by the formula D × E/F where D is the percentage that is or would be, if the taxpayer were a corporation resident in Canada, the taxpayer’s surplus entitlement percentage in respect of a particular member affiliate at the determination time, E is the fair market value, at the determination time, of the particular member affiliate’s direct or indirect interest in the creditor partnership, and F is the fair market value, at the determination time, of all interests in the creditor partnership, and C is, if the debtor under the loan or indebtedness is another foreign affiliate of the taxpayer, the percentage that is or would be, if the taxpayer were a corporation resident in Canada, the taxpayer’s surplus entitlement percentage in respect of the other affiliate at the determination time, or a partnership (referred to in this paragraph as the “borrower partnership”) of which one or more other foreign affiliates of the taxpayer are members, the total of each percentage that is determined by the following formula in respect of each such member G × H/I where G is the percentage that is or would be, if the taxpayer were a corporation resident in Canada, the taxpayer’s surplus entitlement percentage in respect of a particular member of the borrower partnership at the determination time, H is the fair market value, at the determination time, of the particular member’s direct or indirect interest in the borrower partnership, and I is the fair market value, at the determination time, of all interests in the borrower partnership, and in any other case, nil.
specified debtor, in respect of a taxpayer resident in Canada, at any time, means

a partnership a member of which is at that time a person that is a specified debtor in respect of the taxpayer because of subparagraph (i) or (ii).
In computing the income for a taxation year of a taxpayer resident in Canada, there shall be included, in respect of each share owned by the taxpayer of the capital stock of a controlled foreign affiliate of the taxpayer, as income from the share, the percentage of the foreign accrual property income of any controlled foreign affiliate of the taxpayer, for each taxation year of the affiliate ending in the taxation year of the taxpayer, equal to that share’s participating percentage in respect of the affiliate, determined at the end of each such taxation year of the affiliate.
Where an amount in respect of a share has been included in computing the income of a taxpayer for a taxation year by virtue of subsection 91(1) or 91(3) and the Minister is satisfied that, by reason of the operation of monetary or exchange restrictions of a country other than Canada, the inclusion of the whole amount with no deduction for a reserve in respect thereof would impose undue hardship on the taxpayer, there may be deducted in computing the taxpayer’s income for the year such amount as a reserve in respect of the amount so included as the Minister deems reasonable in the circumstances.
In computing the income of a taxpayer for a taxation year, there shall be included each amount in respect of a share that was deducted by virtue of subsection 91(2) in computing the taxpayer’s income for the immediately preceding year.
Where, by virtue of subsection 91(1), an amount in respect of a share has been included in computing the income of a taxpayer for a taxation year or for any of the 5 immediately preceding taxation years (in this subsection referred to as the “income amount”), there may be deducted in computing the taxpayer’s income for the year the lesser of
the product obtained when
the portion of the foreign accrual tax applicable to the income amount that was not deductible under this subsection in any previous year

the amount, if any, by which the income amount exceeds the total of the amounts in respect of that share deductible under this subsection in any of the 5 immediately preceding taxation years in respect of the income amount.
For the purposes of the definition foreign accrual tax in subsection 95(1), foreign accrual tax applicable to a particular amount included in computing a taxpayer’s income under subsection (1) for a taxation year of the taxpayer in respect of a particular foreign affiliate of the taxpayer is not to include the amount that would, in the absence of this subsection, be foreign accrual tax applicable to the particular amount if, at any time in the taxation year (referred to in this subsection as the “affiliate year”) of the particular affiliate that ends in the taxation year of the taxpayer,
a specified owner in respect of the taxpayer is considered,
under the income tax laws (referred to in subsections (4.5) and (4.6) as the “relevant foreign tax law”) of any country other than Canada under the laws of which any income of a particular corporation — that is, at any time in the affiliate year, a pertinent person or partnership in respect of the particular affiliate — is subject to income taxation, to own less than all of the shares of the capital stock of the particular corporation that are considered to be owned by the specified owner for the purposes of this Act, or
under the income tax laws (referred to in subsections (4.5) and (4.6) as the “relevant foreign tax law”) of any country other than Canada under the laws of which any income of a particular partnership — that is, at any time in the affiliate year, a pertinent person or partnership in respect of the particular affiliate — is subject to income taxation, to have a lesser direct or indirect share of the income of the particular partnership than the specified owner is considered to have for the purposes of this Act; or
where the taxpayer is a partnership, the direct or indirect share of the income of the partnership of any member of the partnership that is, at any time in the affiliate year, a person resident in Canada or a foreign affiliate of such a person is, under the income tax laws (referred to in subsection (4.6) as the “relevant foreign tax law”) of any country other than Canada under the laws of which any income of the partnership is subject to income taxation, less than the member’s direct or indirect share of that income for the purposes of this Act.
For the purposes of subsections (4.1) and (4.5), a specified owner, at any time, in respect of a taxpayer means the taxpayer or a person or partnership that is, at that time,
a partnership of which the taxpayer is a member;
a foreign affiliate of the taxpayer;
a partnership a member of which is a foreign affiliate of the taxpayer; or
a person or partnership referred to in any of subparagraphs (4.4)(a)(i) to (iii).
For the purposes of this subsection and subsection (4.1), a pertinent person or partnership, at any time, in respect of a particular foreign affiliate of a taxpayer means the particular affiliate or a person or partnership that is, at that time,

For the purposes of subsections (4.2) and (4.3), if, as part of a series of transactions or events that includes the earning of the foreign accrual property income that gave rise to the particular amount referred to in subsection (4.1), a foreign affiliate (referred to in this subsection as the “funding affiliate”) of the taxpayer or of a person (referred to in this subsection as the “related person”) resident in Canada that is related to the taxpayer, or a partnership (referred to in this subsection as the “funding partnership”) of which such an affiliate is a member, directly or indirectly provided funding to the particular affiliate, or a partnership of which the particular affiliate is a member, otherwise than by way of loans or other indebtedness that are subject to terms or conditions made or imposed, in respect of the loans or other indebtedness, that do not differ from those that would be made or imposed between persons dealing at arm’s length or by way of an acquisition of shares of the capital stock of any corporation, then
if the funding affiliate is, or the funding partnership has a member that is, a foreign affiliate of the related person, the following persons and partnerships are deemed, at all times during which the foreign accrual property income is earned by the particular affiliate, to be specified owners in respect of the taxpayer:
the related person,
each foreign affiliate of the related person, and
each partnership a member of which is a person referred to in subparagraph (i) or (ii); and

For the purposes of subparagraph (4.1)(a)(ii) and paragraph (4.1)(b), a member of a partnership is not to be considered to have a lesser direct or indirect share of the income of the partnership under the relevant foreign tax law than for the purposes of this Act solely because of one or more of the following:
a difference between the relevant foreign tax law and this Act in the manner of
computing the income of the partnership, or
allocating the income of the partnership because of the admission to, or withdrawal from, the partnership of any of its members;
the treatment of the partnership as a corporation under the relevant foreign tax law; or
the fact that the member is not treated as a corporation under the relevant foreign tax law.
For the purposes of subsection (4.1), if a specified owner owns, for the purposes of this Act, shares of the capital stock of a corporation and the dividends, or similar amounts, in respect of those shares are treated under the income tax laws of any country other than Canada under the laws of which any income of the corporation is subject to income taxation as interest or another form of deductible payment, the specified owner is deemed to be considered, under those tax laws, to own less than all of the shares of the capital stock of the corporation that are considered to be owned by the specified owner for the purposes of this Act.
Where in a taxation year a taxpayer resident in Canada has received a dividend on a share of the capital stock of a corporation that was at any time a controlled foreign affiliate of the taxpayer, there may be deducted, in respect of such portion of the dividend as is prescribed to have been paid out of the taxable surplus of the affiliate, in computing the taxpayer’s income for the year, the lesser of
the amount by which that portion of the dividend exceeds the amount, if any, deductible in respect thereof under paragraph 113(1)(b), and

Where a share of the capital stock of a foreign affiliate of a taxpayer that is a taxable Canadian corporation is acquired by the taxpayer from another corporation resident in Canada with which the taxpayer is not dealing at arm’s length, for the purpose of subsection 91(5), any amount required by section 92 to be added or deducted, as the case may be, in computing the adjusted cost base to the other corporation of the share shall be deemed to have been so required to be added or deducted, as the case may be, in computing the adjusted cost base to the taxpayer of the share.
For the purpose of subsection (5), where a taxpayer resident in Canada acquires a share of the capital stock of a corporation that is immediately after the acquisition a foreign affiliate of the taxpayer from a partnership of which the taxpayer, or a corporation resident in Canada with which the taxpayer was not dealing at arm’s length at the time the share was acquired, was a member (each such person referred to in this subsection as the “member”) at any time during any fiscal period of the partnership that began before the acquisition,
that portion of any amount required by subsection 92(1) to be added to the adjusted cost base to the partnership of the share of the capital stock of the foreign affiliate equal to the amount included in the income of the member because of subsection 96(1) in respect of the amount that was included in the income of the partnership because of subsection (1) or (3) in respect of the foreign affiliate and added to that adjusted cost base, and
that portion of any amount required by subsection 92(1) to be deducted from the adjusted cost base to the partnership of the share of the capital stock of the foreign affiliate equal to the amount by which the income of the member from the partnership under subsection 96(1) was reduced because of the amount deducted in computing the income of the partnership under subsection (2), (4) or (5) and deducted from that adjusted cost base
In computing, at any time in a taxation year, the adjusted cost base to a taxpayer resident in Canada of any share owned by the taxpayer of the capital stock of a foreign affiliate of the taxpayer,
there shall be added in respect of that share any amount included in respect of that share under subsection 91(1) or (3) in computing the taxpayer’s income for the year or any preceding taxation year (or that would have been required to have been so included in computing the taxpayer’s income but for subsection 56(4.1) and sections 74.1 to 75 of this Act and section 74 of the Income Tax Act, chapter 148 of the Revised Statutes of Canada, 1952); and

The prescribed amount shall be added in computing the adjusted cost base of a share of the capital stock of a foreign affiliate of a corporation resident in Canada to
another foreign affiliate of the corporation; or
a partnership of which another foreign affiliate of the corporation is a member.
There is to be added in computing the adjusted cost base to a taxpayer of a share of the capital stock of a foreign affiliate of the taxpayer any amount required by paragraph 93(4)(b) to be so added.
In computing, at any time in a taxation year,
the adjusted cost base to a corporation resident in Canada (in this subsection referred to as an “owner”) of any share of the capital stock of a foreign affiliate of the corporation, or
the adjusted cost base to a foreign affiliate (in this subsection referred to as an “owner”) of a person resident in Canada of any share of the capital stock of another foreign affiliate of that person,
there shall be deducted, in respect of any dividend received on the share before that time by the owner of the share, an amount equal to the amount, if any, by which
such portion of the amount of the dividend so received as was deductible by virtue of paragraph 113(1)(d) from the income of the owner for the year in computing the owner’s taxable income for the year or as would have been so deductible if the owner had been a corporation resident in Canada,
exceeds
such portion of any income or profits tax paid by the owner to the government of a country other than Canada as may reasonably be regarded as having been paid in respect of the portion described in paragraph 92(2)(c).
In computing, at any time in a taxation year, the adjusted cost base to a corporation resident in Canada of any share of the capital stock of a foreign affiliate of the corporation, there shall be deducted an amount in respect of any dividend received on the share by the corporation before that time equal to such portion of the amount so received as was deducted under subsection 113(2) from the income of the corporation for the year or any preceding year in computing its taxable income.
Where a corporation resident in Canada or a foreign affiliate of a corporation resident in Canada has at any time disposed of all or a portion of an interest in a partnership of which it was a member, there shall be added, in computing the proceeds of disposition of that interest, the amount determined by the formula(A - B) × (C/D) where A is the amount, if any, by which the total of all amounts each of which is an amount that was deductible under paragraph 113(1)(d) by the member from its income in computing its taxable income for any taxation year of the member that began before that time in respect of any portion of a dividend received by the partnership, or would have been so deductible if the member were a corporation resident in Canada, exceeds the total of all amounts each of which is the portion of any income or profits tax paid by the partnership or the member of the partnership to a government of a country other than Canada that can reasonably be considered as having been paid in respect of the member’s share of the dividend described in paragraph (a); B is the total of the total of all amounts each of which was an amount added under this subsection in computing the member’s proceeds of a disposition before that time of another interest in the partnership, and the total of all amounts each of which was an amount deemed by subsection (5) to be a gain of the member from a disposition before that time of a share by the partnership; C is the adjusted cost base, immediately before that time, of the portion of the member’s interest in the partnership disposed of by the member at that time; and D is the adjusted cost base, immediately before that time, of the member’s interest in the partnership immediately before that time.
Where a partnership has, at any time in a fiscal period of the partnership at the end of which a corporation resident in Canada or a foreign affiliate of a corporation resident in Canada was a member, disposed of a share of the capital stock of a corporation, the amount determined under subsection (6) in respect of such a member is deemed to be a gain of the member from the disposition of the share by the partnership for the member’s taxation year in which the fiscal period of the partnership ends.
The amount determined for the purposes of subsection (5) is the amount determined by the formula A - B where A is the amount, if any, by which the total of all amounts each of which is an amount that was deductible under paragraph 113(1)(d) by the member from its income in computing its taxable income for a taxation year in respect of any portion of a dividend received by the partnership on the share in a fiscal period of the partnership that began before the time referred to in subsection (5) and ends in the member’s taxation year, or would have been so deductible if the member were a corporation resident in Canada, exceeds the total of all amounts each of which is the portion of any income or profits tax paid by the partnership or the member to a government of a country other than Canada that can reasonably be considered as having been paid in respect of the member’s share of the dividend described in paragraph (a); and B is the total of all amounts each of which is an amount that was added under subsection (4) in computing the member’s proceeds of a disposition before the time referred to in subsection (5) of an interest in the partnership.

the amount (referred to in this subsection as the “elected amount”) designated by the corporation in its election not exceeding the amount that would, in the absence of this subsection, be the gain of the disposing corporation or disposing affiliate, as the case may be, from the disposition of the share, is deemed
to have been a dividend received on the share from the particular affiliate by the disposing corporation or disposing affiliate, as the case may be, immediately before that time, and
not to have been received by the disposing corporation or disposing affiliate, as the case may be, as proceeds of disposition in respect of the disposition of the share; and
if subsection 40(3) applies to the disposing corporation or disposing affiliate, as the case may be, in respect of the share, the amount deemed by that subsection to be the gain of the disposing corporation or disposing affiliate, as the case may be, from the disposition of the share is, except for the purposes of paragraph 53(1)(a), deemed to be equal to the amount, if any, by which
the amount deemed by that subsection to be the gain from the disposition of the share determined without reference to this paragraph
exceeds
the elected amount.

to have made an election, at the time referred to in subsection (1.1), under subsection (1) in respect of the disposition of the disposed share; and
to have designated, in the election, the prescribed amount in respect of the disposition of the disposed share.
Where a particular corporation resident in Canada or a foreign affiliate of the particular corporation (each of which is referred to in this subsection as the “disposing corporation”) would, but for this subsection, have a taxable capital gain from a disposition by a partnership, at any time, of shares of a class of the capital stock of a foreign affiliate of the particular corporation and the particular corporation so elects in prescribed manner in respect of the disposition,
twice
the amount designated by the particular corporation (which amount shall not exceed the amount that is equal to the proportion of the taxable capital gain of the partnership that the number of shares of that class of the capital stock of the foreign affiliate, determined as the amount, if any, by which the number of those shares that were deemed to have been owned by the disposing corporation for the purposes of subsection 93.1(1) immediately before the disposition exceeds the number of those shares that were deemed to have been owned for those purposes by the disposing corporation immediately after the disposition, is of the number of those shares of the foreign affiliate that were owned by the partnership immediately before the disposition), or

for the purpose of any regulation made under this subsection, the disposing corporation is deemed to have disposed of the number of those shares of the foreign affiliate which shall be determined as the amount, if any, by which the number of those shares that the disposing corporation was deemed to own for the purposes of subsection 93.1(1) immediately before the disposition exceeds the number of those shares that the disposing corporation was deemed to own for those purposes immediately after the disposition;
for the purposes of section 113 in respect of the dividend referred to in paragraph (a), the disposing corporation is deemed to have owned the shares on which that dividend was received; and
where the disposing corporation has a taxable capital gain from the partnership because of the application of subsection 40(3) to the partnership in respect of those shares, for the purposes of this subsection, the shares are deemed to have been disposed of by the partnership.
Where a foreign affiliate of a particular corporation resident in Canada has a gain from the disposition by a partnership at any time of shares of a class of the capital stock of a foreign affiliate of the particular corporation that are excluded property, the particular corporation is deemed to have made an election under subsection (1.2) in respect of the number of shares of the foreign affiliate which shall be determined as the amount, if any, by which the number of those shares that the disposing corporation was deemed to own for the purposes of subsection 93.1(1) immediately before the disposition exceeds the number of those shares that the disposing corporation was deemed to own for those purposes immediately after the disposition.

because of that transfer or loan
the fair market value of one or more properties held by the trust increases at that time, or
a liability or potential liability of the trust decreases at that time;
the fair market value, at any time, of a property deemed by paragraph (a) to be transferred at that time by a person or partnership is deemed to be the amount of the absolute value of the increase or decrease, as the case may be, referred to in subparagraph (a)(ii) in respect of the property, and if that time is after August 27, 2010, and the property that the person or partnership transfers or loans at that time is restricted property of the person or partnership, the property deemed by paragraph (a) to be transferred at that time to a trust is deemed to be restricted property transferred at that time to the trust;

at that time the person or partnership transfers restricted property, or loans property other than by way of an arm’s length transfer, to another person (referred to in this paragraph and paragraph (c.1) as the “intermediary”),
at or after that time, the trust holds property (other than property described by paragraph (14)(b)) the fair market value of which is derived in whole or in part, directly or indirectly, from property held by the intermediary, and

the particular person or partnership is deemed to have transferred, at that time, property to that other person or partnership, and
the property, if any, transferred to the particular person or partnership from the other person or partnership in exchange for the guarantee or other financial assistance is deemed to have been transferred to the particular person or partnership in exchange for the property deemed by subparagraph (i) to have been transferred;
the fair market value at any time of a property deemed by subparagraph (d)(i) to have been transferred at that time to another person or partnership is deemed to be the amount at that time of the loan or indebtedness incurred by the other person or partnership to which the property relates;

a transfer or loan of property at any time is deemed to be made at that time jointly by a particular person or partnership and a second person or partnership (referred to in this paragraph as the “specified person”) if
the particular person or partnership transfers or loans property at that time to another person or partnership,
the transfer or loan is made at the direction, or with the acquiescence, of the specified person, and

a transfer or loan of property made at any time on or after November 9, 2006, is deemed to be made at that time jointly by a particular person or partnership and a second person or partnership (referred to in this paragraph as the “specified person”) if
the particular person or partnership transfers or loans property at that time to another person or partnership, and
a purpose or effect of the transfer or loan may reasonably be considered to be to provide benefits in respect of services rendered by a person as an employee of the specified person (whether the provision of the benefits is because of a right that is immediate or future, absolute or contingent, or conditional on or subject to the exercise of any discretion by any person or partnership);
a transfer or loan of property at any time is deemed to be made at that time jointly by a corporation and a person or partnership (referred to in this paragraph as the “specified person”) if
the corporation transfers or loans property at that time to another person or partnership,
the transfer or loan is made at the direction, or with the acquiescence, of the specified person,
that time is not, or would not be if the transfer or loan were a contribution of the specified person,
a non-resident time of the specified person, or
if the specified person is a partnership, a non-resident time of one or more members of the partnership, and
either
the corporation is, at that time, a controlled foreign affiliate of the specified person, or would at that time be a controlled foreign affiliate of the specified person if the specified person were at that time resident in Canada, or
it is reasonable to conclude that the transfer or loan was made in contemplation of the corporation becoming after that time a corporation described in clause (A);
a particular person or partnership is deemed to have transferred, at a particular time, a particular property or particular part of it, as the case may be, to a corporation described in subparagraph (i) or a second person or partnership described in subparagraph (ii) if

the particular property (or property for which the particular property is substituted) was acquired, before the particular time, from the second person or partnership by any person or partnership, in circumstances that are described by any of subparagraphs (g)(i) to (v) (or would be so described if it applied at the time of that acquisition) and at the particular time,
the terms or conditions of the particular property change,
the second person or partnership redeems, acquires or cancels the particular property or the particular part of it,

a person or partnership that at any time acquires a fixed interest in a trust (or a right, issued by the trust, to acquire a fixed interest in the trust) from another person or partnership (other than from the trust that issued the interest or the right) is deemed to have made at that time a contribution to the trust and the amount of the contribution is deemed to be equal to the fair market value at that time of the interest or right, as the case may be;
a particular person or partnership that has acquired a fixed interest in a trust as a consequence of making a contribution to the trust — or that has made a contribution to the trust as a consequence of having acquired a fixed interest in the trust or a right described in paragraph (q) — is, for the purpose of applying this section at any time after the time that the particular person or partnership transfers the fixed interest or the right, as the case may be, to another person or partnership (which transfer is referred to in this paragraph as the “sale”), deemed not to have made the contribution in respect of the fixed interest, or right, that is the subject of the sale if
in exchange for the sale, the other person or partnership transfers or loans, or becomes obligated to transfer or loan, property (which property is referred to in subparagraph (ii) as the “consideration”) to the particular person or partnership, and
it is reasonable to conclude
having regard only to the sale and the consideration that the particular person or partnership would be willing to make the sale if the particular person or partnership were dealing at arm’s length with the other person or partnership, and
that the terms and conditions made or imposed in respect of the exchange would be acceptable to the particular person or partnership if the particular person or partnership were dealing at arm’s length with the other person or partnership;
a transfer to a trust by a particular person or partnership is deemed not to be, at a particular time, a contribution to the trust if
the particular person or partnership has transferred, at or before the particular time and in the ordinary course of business of the particular person or partnership, property to the trust,
the transfer is not an arm’s length transfer, but would be an arm’s length transfer if the definition arm’s length transfer in subsection (1) were read without reference to paragraph (a) and subparagraphs (b)(i), (ii) and (iv) to (vii) of that definition,
it is reasonable to conclude that the particular person or partnership was the only person or partnership that acquired, in respect of the transfer, an interest as a beneficiary under the trust,
the particular person or partnership was required, under the securities law of a country or of a political subdivision of the country in respect of the issuance by the trust of interests as a beneficiary under the trust, to acquire an interest because of the particular person or partnership’s status at the time of the transfer as a manager or promoter of the trust,
at the particular time the trust is not an exempt foreign trust, but would be at that time an exempt foreign trust if it had not made an election under paragraph (h) of the definition exempt foreign trust in subsection (1), and
the particular time is before the earliest of
the first time at which the trust becomes an exempt foreign trust,
the first time at which the particular person or partnership ceases to be a manager or promoter of the trust, and
the time that is 24 months after the first time at which the total fair market value of consideration received by the trust in exchange for interests as a beneficiary (other than the particular person or partnership’s interest referred to in subparagraph (iii)) under the trust is greater than $500,000;
a transfer, by a Canadian corporation of particular property, that is at a particular time a contribution by the Canadian corporation to a trust, is deemed not to be, after the particular time, a contribution by the Canadian corporation to the trust if
the trust acquired the property before the particular time from the Canadian corporation in circumstances described in subparagraph (g)(i) or (iv),
as a result of a transfer (which transfer is referred to in this paragraph as the “sale”) at the particular time by any person or partnership (referred to in this paragraph as the “seller”) to another person or partnership (referred to in this paragraph as the “buyer”) the trust
no longer holds any property that is shares of the capital stock of, or debt issued by, the Canadian corporation, and
no longer holds any property that is property the fair market value of which is derived in whole or in part, directly or indirectly, from shares of the capital stock of, or debt issued by, the Canadian corporation,
the buyer deals at arm’s length immediately before the particular time with the Canadian corporation, the trust and the seller,
in exchange for the sale, the buyer transfers or becomes obligated to transfer property (which property is referred to in this paragraph as the “consideration”) to the seller, and
it is reasonable to conclude
having regard only to the sale and the consideration that the seller would be willing to make the sale if the seller were dealing at arm’s length with the buyer,
that the terms and conditions made or imposed in respect of the exchange would be acceptable to the seller if the seller were dealing at arm’s length with the buyer, and
that the value of the consideration is not, at or after the particular time, determined in whole or in part, directly or indirectly, by reference to shares of the capital stock of, or debt issued by, the Canadian corporation;
a transfer, before October 11, 2002, to a personal trust by an individual (other than a trust) of particular property is deemed not to be a contribution of the particular property by the individual to the trust if
the individual identifies the trust in prescribed form filed with the Minister on or before the individual’s filing-due date for the individual’s 2003 taxation year (or a later date that is acceptable to the Minister), and
the Minister is satisfied that
the individual (and any person or partnership not dealing at any time at arm’s length with the individual) has never loaned or transferred, directly or indirectly, restricted property to the trust,
in respect of each contribution (determined without reference to this paragraph) made before October 11, 2002, by the individual to the trust, none of the reasons (determined by reference to all the circumstances including the terms of the trust, an intention, the laws of a country or the existence of an agreement, a memorandum, a letter of wishes or any other arrangement) for the contribution was to permit or facilitate, directly or indirectly, the conferral at any time of a benefit (for greater certainty, including an interest as a beneficiary under the trust) on
the individual,
a descendant of the individual, or
any person or partnership with whom the individual or descendant does not, at any time, deal at arm’s length, and
the total of all amounts each of which is the amount of a contribution (determined without reference to this paragraph) made before October 11, 2002, by the individual to the trust does not exceed the greater of
1% of the total of all amounts each of which is the amount of a contribution (determined without reference to this paragraph) made to the trust before October 11, 2002, and
$500; and
a loan made by a particular specified financial institution to a trust is deemed not to be a contribution to the trust if
the loan is made on terms and conditions that would have been agreed to by persons dealing at arm’s length, and
the loan is made by the specified financial institution in the ordinary course of the business carried on by it.
If at a specified time in a trust’s particular taxation year (other than a trust that is, at that time, an exempt foreign trust) the trust is non-resident (determined without reference to this subsection) and, at that time, there is a resident contributor to the trust or a resident beneficiary under the trust,
the trust is deemed to be resident in Canada throughout the particular taxation year for the purposes of
section 2,
computing the trust’s income for the particular taxation year,
applying subsections 104(13.1) to (28) and 107(2.1), in respect of the trust and a beneficiary under the trust,
applying clause 53(2)(h)(i.1)(B), the definition non-resident entity in subsection 94.1(2), subsection 107(2.002) and section 115, in respect of a beneficiary under the trust,

determining whether a foreign affiliate of a taxpayer (other than the trust) is a controlled foreign affiliate of the taxpayer;
no deduction shall be made under subsection 20(11) by the trust in computing its income for the particular taxation year, and for the purposes of applying subsection 20(12) and section 126 to the trust for the particular taxation year
in determining the non-business-income tax (in this paragraph as defined by subsection 126(7)) paid by the trust for the particular taxation year, paragraph (b) of the definition non-business-income tax does not apply, and
if, at that specified time, the trust is resident in a country other than Canada,
the trust’s income for the particular taxation year is deemed to be from sources in that country and not to be from any other source, and
the business-income tax (in this paragraph as defined by subsection 126(7)), and the non-business-income tax, paid by the trust for the particular taxation year are deemed to have been paid by the trust to the government of that country and not to any other government;
if the trust was non-resident throughout its taxation year (referred to in this paragraph as the “preceding year”) immediately preceding the particular taxation year, the trust is deemed to have
immediately before the end of the preceding year, disposed of each property (other than property described in any of subparagraphs 128.1(1)(b)(i) to (iv)) held by the trust at that time for proceeds of disposition equal to its fair market value at that time, and
at the beginning of the particular taxation year, acquired each of those properties so disposed of at a cost equal to its proceeds of disposition;
each person that at any time in the particular taxation year is a resident contributor to the trust (other than an electing contributor in respect of the trust at the specified time) or a resident beneficiary under the trust
has jointly and severally, or solidarily, with the trust and with each other such person, the rights and obligations of the trust in respect of the particular taxation year under Divisions I and J, and
is subject to Part XV in respect of those rights and obligations;
each person that at any time in the particular taxation year is a beneficiary under the trust and was a person from whom an amount would be recoverable at the end of the trust’s 2006 taxation year under subsection (2) (as it read in its application to taxation years that end before 2007) in respect of the trust if the person had received before the trust’s 2007 taxation year amounts described under paragraph (2)(a) or (b) in respect of the trust (as those paragraphs read in their application to taxation years that end before 2007)
has, to the extent of the person’s recovery limit for the year, jointly and severally, or solidarily, with the trust and with each other such person, the rights and obligations of the trust in respect of the taxation years, of the trust, that end before 2007 under Divisions I and J, and
is, to the extent of the person’s recovery limit for the year, subject to Part XV in respect of those rights and obligations;
if the trust (referred to in this paragraph as the “particular trust”) is an electing trust in respect of the particular taxation year,
an inter vivos trust (in this paragraph referred to as the “non-resident portion trust”) is deemed for the purposes of this Act (other than for the purposes of subsection 104(2))
to be created at the first time at which the particular trust exists in its first taxation year in respect of which the particular trust is an electing trust, and
to continue in existence until the earliest of
the time at which the particular trust ceases to be resident in Canada because of subsection (5) or (5.1),
the time at which the particular trust ceases to exist, and
the time at which the particular trust becomes resident in Canada otherwise than because of this subsection,
all of the particular trust’s property that is part of the particular trust’s non-resident portion is deemed to be the property of the non-resident portion trust and not to be, except for the purposes of this paragraph and the definition electing trust in subsection (1), the particular trust’s property,
the terms and conditions of, and rights and obligations of beneficiaries under, the particular trust (determined by reference to all the circumstances including the terms of a trust, an intention, the laws of a country or the existence of an agreement, a memorandum, a letter of wishes or any other arrangement) are deemed to be the terms and conditions of, and rights and obligations of beneficiaries under, the non-resident portion trust,
for greater certainty
the trustees of the particular trust are deemed to be the trustees of the non-resident portion trust,
the beneficiaries under the particular trust are deemed to be the beneficiaries under the non-resident portion trust, and
the non-resident portion trust is deemed not to have a resident contributor or connected contributor to it,
the non-resident portion trust is deemed to be, without affecting the liability of its trustees for their own income tax, in respect of its property an individual,
if all or part of a property becomes at a particular time part of the particular trust’s non-resident portion and immediately before that time the property or that part, as the case may be, was part of its resident portion, the particular trust is deemed to have transferred at the particular time the property or that part, as the case may be, to the non-resident portion trust,
if all or part of a property becomes at a particular time part of the particular trust’s resident portion and immediately before that time the property or that part, as the case may be, was part of its non-resident portion, the non-resident portion trust is deemed to have transferred at the particular time the property or that part, as the case may be, to the particular trust,
the particular trust and the non-resident portion trust are deemed at all times to be affiliated with each other and to not deal with each other at arm’s length,
the particular trust
has jointly and severally, or solidarily, with the non-resident portion trust, the rights and obligations of the non-resident portion trust in respect of any taxation year under Divisions I and J, and
is subject to Part XV in respect of those rights and obligations, and
if the non-resident portion trust ceases to exist at a particular time (for greater certainty, as determined by clause (i)(B))
the non-resident portion trust is deemed, at the time (referred to in this subparagraph as the “disposition time”) that is immediately before the time that is immediately before the particular time, to have
in the case of each property of the non-resident portion trust that is property described in any of subparagraphs 128.1(1)(b)(i) to (iv), disposed of the property for proceeds of disposition equal to the cost amount to it of the property at the disposition time, and
in the case of each other property of the non-resident portion trust, disposed of the property for proceeds of disposition equal to its fair market value of the property at the disposition time,
the particular trust is deemed to have acquired, at the time that is immediately before the particular time, each property described in subclause (A)(I) or (II) at a cost equal to the proceeds determined under that subclause in respect of the property, and
each person or partnership that is at the time immediately before the particular time a beneficiary under the non-resident portion trust is deemed
at the disposition time to have disposed of the beneficiary’s interest as a beneficiary under the non-resident portion trust for proceeds equal to the beneficiary’s cost amount in the interest at the disposition time, and
at the disposition time, to have ceased to be, other than for purposes of this clause, a beneficiary under the non-resident portion trust; and
if a person deducts or withholds any amount (referred to in this paragraph as the “withholding amount”) as required by section 215 from a particular amount paid or credited or deemed to have been paid or credited to the trust, and the particular amount has been included in the trust’s income for the particular taxation year, the withholding amount is deemed to have been paid on account of the trust’s tax under this Part for the particular taxation year.
For greater certainty, paragraph (3)(a) does not deem a trust to be resident in Canada for the purposes of
the definitions arm’s length transfer and exempt foreign trust in subsection (1);
subsections (8.1) and (8.2), paragraph (14)(a), subsections 70(6) and 73(1), the definition Canadian partnership in subsection 102(1), paragraph 107.4(1)(c) and paragraph (a) of the definition mutual fund trust in subsection 132(6);
determining the liability of a person (other than the trust) that would arise under section 215;
determining whether, in applying subsection 128.1(1), the trust becomes resident in Canada at a particular time;
determining whether, in applying subsection 128.1(4), the trust ceases to be resident in Canada at a particular time;
subparagraph (f)(i) of the definition disposition in subsection 248(1);
determining whether subsection 107(5) applies to a distribution on or after July 18, 2005, of property to the trust; and
determining whether subsection 75(2) applies.
A trust is deemed to cease to be resident in Canada at the earliest time at which there is neither a resident contributor to the trust nor a resident beneficiary under the trust in a taxation year (determined without reference to subsection 128.1(4)) of the trust
that immediately follows a taxation year of the trust throughout which it was deemed by subsection (3) to be resident in Canada for the purpose of computing its income; and
at a specified time in which the trust
is non-resident,
is not an exempt foreign trust, and
has no resident contributor to it or resident beneficiary under it.
A trust is deemed to cease to be resident in Canada at the earliest time at which the trust becomes an exempt foreign trust in a taxation year (determined without reference to subsection 128.1(4)) of the trust
that immediately follows a taxation year of the trust throughout which it was deemed by subsection (3) to be resident in Canada for the purpose of computing its income; and
at a specified time in which
there is a resident contributor to the trust or a resident beneficiary under the trust, and
the trust is an exempt foreign trust.
If a trust is deemed by subsection (5) or (5.1) to cease to be resident in Canada at a particular time, the following rules apply to the trust in respect of the particular taxation year that is, as a result of that cessation of residence, deemed by subparagraph 128.1(4)(a)(i) to end immediately before the particular time:
the trust’s return of income for the particular taxation year is deemed to be filed with the Minister on a timely basis if it is filed with the Minister within 90 days from the end of the trust’s taxation year that is deemed by subparagraph 128.1(4)(a)(i) to start at the particular time; and
an amount that is included in the trust’s income (determined without reference to subsections 104(6) and (12)) for the particular taxation year but that became payable (determined without regard to this paragraph) by the trust in the period after the particular taxation year and before the end of the trust’s taxation year that is deemed by subparagraph 128.1(4)(a)(i) to start at the particular time, is deemed to have become payable by the trust immediately before the end of the particular taxation year and not at any other time.
If at a specified time in a trust’s taxation year it is an exempt foreign trust, at a particular time in the immediately following taxation year (determined without reference to this subsection) the trust ceases to be an exempt foreign trust (otherwise than because of becoming resident in Canada), and at the particular time there is a resident contributor to, or resident beneficiary under, the trust,
the trust’s taxation year (determined without reference to this subsection) that includes the particular time is deemed to have ended immediately before the particular time and a new taxation year of the trust is deemed to begin at the particular time; and
for the purpose of determining the trust’s fiscal period after the particular time, the trust is deemed not to have established a fiscal period before the particular time.
The maximum amount recoverable under the provisions referred to in paragraph (3)(d) at any particular time from a person in respect of a trust (other than a person that is deemed, under subsection (12) or (13), to be a contributor or a resident contributor to the trust) and a particular taxation year of the trust is the person’s recovery limit at the particular time in respect of the trust and the particular year if
either
the person is liable under a provision referred to in paragraph (3)(d) in respect of the trust and the particular year solely because the person was a resident beneficiary under the trust at a specified time in respect of the trust in the particular year, or
at a specified time in respect of the trust in the particular year, the total of all amounts each of which is the amount, at the time it was made, of a contribution to the trust made before the specified time by the person or by another person or partnership not dealing at arm’s length with the person, is not more than the greater of
$10,000, and
10% of the total of all amounts each of which was the amount, at the time it was made, of a contribution made to the trust before the specified time;
except if the total determined in subparagraph (a)(ii) in respect of the person and all persons or partnerships not dealing at arm’s length with the person is $10,000 or less, the person has filed on a timely basis under section 233.2 all information returns required to be filed by the person before the particular time in respect of the trust (or on any later day that is acceptable to the Minister); and
it is reasonable to conclude that for each transaction that occurred before the end of the particular year at the direction of, or with the acquiescence of, the person
none of the purposes of the transaction was to enable the person to avoid or minimize any liability under a provision referred to in paragraph (3)(d) in respect of the trust, and
the transaction was not part of a series of transactions any of the purposes of which was to enable the person to avoid or minimize any liability under a provision referred to in paragraph (3)(d) in respect of the trust.
The recovery limit referred to in paragraph (3)(e) and subsection (7) at a particular time of a particular person in respect of a trust and a particular taxation year of the trust is the amount, if any, by which the greater of
the total of all amounts each of which is
an amount received or receivable after 2000 and before the particular time
by the particular person on the disposition of all or part of the person’s interest as a beneficiary under the trust, or
by a person or partnership (that was, when the amount became receivable, a specified party in respect of the particular person) on the disposition of all or part of the specified party’s interest as a beneficiary under the trust,
an amount (other than an amount described in subparagraph (i)) made payable by the trust after 2000 and before the particular time to
the particular person because of the interest of the particular person as a beneficiary under the trust, or
a person or partnership (that was, when the amount became payable, a specified party in respect of the particular person) because of the interest of the specified party as a beneficiary under the trust,
an amount received after August 27, 2010, by the particular person, or a person or partnership (that was, when the amount was received, a specified party in respect of the particular person), as a loan from the trust to the extent that the amount has not been repaid,
an amount (other than an amount described in any of subparagraphs (i) to (iii)) that is the fair market value of a benefit received or enjoyed, after 2000 and before the particular time, from or under the trust by
the particular person, or
a person or partnership that was, when the benefit was received or enjoyed, a specified party in respect of the particular person, or
the maximum amount that would be recoverable from the particular person at the end of the trust’s 2006 taxation year under subsection (2) (as it read in its application to taxation years that end before 2007) if the trust had tax payable under this Part at the end of the trust’s 2006 taxation year and that tax payable exceeded the total of the amounts described in respect of the particular person under paragraphs (2)(a) and (b) (as they read in their application to taxation years that end before 2007), except to the extent that the amount so recoverable is in respect of an amount that is included in the particular person’s recovery limit because of subparagraph (i) or (ii), and
the total of all amounts each of which is the amount, when made, of a contribution to the trust before the particular time by the particular person,
an amount recovered before the particular time from the particular person in connection with a liability of the particular person (in respect of the trust and the particular year or a preceding taxation year of the trust) that arose because of the application of subsection (3) (or the application of this section as it read in its application to taxation years that end before 2007),
an amount (other than an amount in respect of which this paragraph has applied in respect of any other person) recovered before the particular time from a specified party in respect of the particular person in connection with a liability of the particular person (in respect of the trust and the particular year or a preceding taxation year of the trust) that arose because of the application of subsection (3) (or the application of this section as it read in its application to taxation years that end before 2007), or
the amount, if any, by which the particular person’s tax payable under this Part for any taxation year in which an amount described in any of subparagraphs (a)(i) to (iv) was paid, became payable, was received, became receivable or was enjoyed by the particular person exceeds the amount that would have been the particular person’s tax payable under this Part for that taxation year if no such amount were paid, became payable, were received, became receivable or were enjoyed by the particular person in that taxation year.
Subsection (8.2) applies at any time to a particular person, and to a particular property, in respect of a non-resident trust, if at that time
the particular person is resident in Canada; and
the trust holds the particular property on condition that the particular property or property substituted for the particular property
may
revert to the particular person, or
pass to one or more persons or partnerships to be determined by the particular person, or
shall not be disposed of by the trust during the existence of the particular person, except with the particular person’s consent or in accordance with the particular person’s direction.
If this subsection applies at any time to a particular person, and to a particular property, in respect of a non-resident trust, then in applying this section in respect of the trust for a taxation year of the trust that includes that time
every transfer or loan made at or before that time by the particular person (or by a trust or partnership of which the particular person was a beneficiary or member, as the case may be) of the particular property, of another property for which the particular property is a substitute, or of property from which the particular property derives, or the other property derived, its value in whole or in part, directly or indirectly, is deemed to be a transfer or loan, as the case may be, by the particular person
that is not an arm’s length transfer, and
that is, for the purposes of paragraph (2)(c) and subsection (9), a transfer or loan of restricted property; and
paragraph (2)(c) is to be read without reference to subparagraph (2)(c)(iii) in its application to each transfer and loan described in paragraph (a).
If a person or partnership contributes at any time restricted property to a trust, the amount of the contribution at that time is deemed, for the purposes of this section, to be the greater of
the amount, determined without reference to this subsection, of the contribution at that time, and
the amount that is the greatest fair market value of the restricted property, or property substituted for it, in the period that begins immediately after that time and ends at the end of the third calendar year that ends after that time.
In applying this section at each specified time, in respect of a trust’s taxation year, that is before the particular time at which a contributor to the trust becomes resident in Canada within 60 months after making a contribution to the trust, the contribution is deemed to have been made at a time other than a non-resident time of the contributor if
in applying the definition non-resident time in subsection (1) at each of those specified times, the contribution was made at a non-resident time of the contributor; and
in applying the definition non-resident time in subsection (1) immediately after the particular time, the contribution is made at a time other than a non-resident time of the contributor.
Subsections (12) and (13) apply to a trust or a person in respect of a trust if
at any time property of a trust (referred to in this subsection and subsections (12) and (13) as the “original trust”) is transferred or loaned, directly or indirectly, in any manner, to another trust (referred to in this subsection and subsections (12) and (13) as the “transferee trust”);
the original trust
is deemed to be resident in Canada immediately before that time because of paragraph (3)(a),
would be deemed to be resident in Canada immediately before that time because of paragraph (3)(a) if this section were read without reference to paragraph (a) of the definition connected contributor in subsection (1) and paragraph (a) of the definition resident contributor in that subsection,
was deemed to be resident in Canada immediately before that time because of subsection (1) as it read in its application to taxation years that end before 2007, or
would have been deemed to be resident in Canada immediately before that time because of subsection (1) as it read in its application to taxation years that end before 2007 if that subsection were read in that application without reference to subclause (b)(i)(A)(III) of that subsection; and
it is reasonable to conclude that one of the reasons the transfer or loan is made is to avoid or minimize a liability under this Part that arose, or that would otherwise have arisen, because of the application of this section (or the application of this section as it read in its application to taxation years that end before 2007).
The original trust described in subsection (11) (including a trust that has ceased to exist) is deemed to be, at and after the time of the transfer or loan referred to in that subsection, a resident contributor to the transferee trust for the purpose of applying this section in respect of the transferee trust.
A person (including any person that has ceased to exist) that is, at the time of the transfer or loan referred to in subsection (11), a contributor to the original trust, is deemed to be at and after that time
a contributor to the transferee trust; and
a connected contributor to the transferee trust, if at that time the person is a connected contributor to the original trust.
A particular property that is, or will be, at any time held, loaned or transferred, as the case may be, by a particular person or partnership is not restricted property held, loaned or transferred, as the case may be, at that time by the particular person or partnership if
the following conditions are met:
the particular property (and property, if any, for which it is, or is to be, substituted) was not, and will not be, at any time acquired, held, loaned or transferred by the particular person or partnership (or any person or partnership with whom the particular person or partnership does not at any time deal at arm’s length) in whole or in part for the purpose of permitting any change in the value of the property of a corporation (that is, at any time, a closely held corporation) to accrue directly or indirectly in any manner whatever to the value of property held by a non-resident trust,
the Minister is satisfied that the particular property (and property, if any, for which it is, or is to be, substituted) is described by subparagraph (i), and
the particular property is identified in prescribed form, containing prescribed information, filed, by or on behalf of the particular person or partnership, with the Minister on or before
in the case of a person, the particular person’s filing-due date for the particular person’s taxation year that includes that time,
in the case of a partnership, the day on or before which a return is required by section 229 of the Income Tax Regulations to be filed in respect of the fiscal period of the particular partnership or would be required to be so filed if that section applied to the partnership, or
another date that is acceptable to the Minister; or
at that time
the particular property is
a share of the capital stock of a corporation,
a fixed interest in a trust, or
an interest, as a member of a partnership, under which, by operation of any law governing the arrangement in respect of the partnership, the liability of the member as a member of the partnership is limited,
there are at least 150 persons each of whom holds at that time property that at that time
is identical to the particular property, and
has a total fair market value of at least $500,
the total of all amounts each of which is the fair market value, at that time, of the particular property (or of identical property that is held, at that time, by the particular person or partnership or a person or partnership with whom the particular person or partnership does not deal at arm’s length) does not exceed 10% of the total of all amounts each of which is the fair market value, at that time, of the particular property or of identical property held by any person or partnership,
property that is identical to the particular property can normally be acquired by and sold by members of the public in the open market, and
the particular property, or identical property, is listed on a designated stock exchange.
In applying this section,
if it can reasonably be considered that one of the main reasons that a person or partnership
is at any time a shareholder of a corporation is to cause the condition in paragraph (b) of the definition closely held corporation in subsection (1) to be satisfied in respect of the corporation, the condition is deemed not to have been satisfied at that time in respect of the corporation,
holds at any time an interest in a trust is to cause the condition in clause (h)(ii)(A) of the definition exempt foreign trust in subsection (1) to be satisfied in respect of the trust, the condition is deemed not to have been satisfied at that time in respect of the trust, and
holds at any time a property is to cause the condition described in subparagraph (14)(b)(ii) to be satisfied in respect of the property or an identical property held by any person, the condition is deemed not to have been satisfied at that time in respect of the property or the identical property;
if at any time at or before a specified time in a trust’s taxation year, a resident contributor to the trust contributes to the trust property that is restricted property of the trust, or property for which restricted property of the trust is substituted, and the trust is at that specified time an exempt foreign trust by reason of paragraph (f) of the definition exempt foreign trust in subsection (1), the amount of the trust’s income for the taxation year from the restricted property, and the amount of any taxable capital gain from the disposition in the taxation year by the trust of the restricted property, shall be included in computing the income of the resident contributor for its taxation year in which that taxation year of the trust ends and not in computing the income of the trust for that taxation year of the trust; and
if at a specified time in a trust’s taxation year it is an exempt foreign trust by reason of paragraph (h) of the definition exempt foreign trust in subsection (1), at a time immediately before a particular time in the immediately following taxation year (determined without reference to subsection (6)) there is a resident contributor to, or resident beneficiary under, the trust, at the time that is immediately before the particular time a beneficiary holds a fixed interest in the trust, and at the particular time the interest ceases to be a fixed interest in the trust,
the trust is deemed, other than for purposes of subsection (6), not to be an exempt foreign trust at any time in the trust’s taxation year (referred to in this paragraph as its “assessment year”) that ends (for greater certainty as determined under paragraph (6)(a)) at the time that is immediately before the particular time,
the trust shall include in computing its income for its assessment year an amount equal to the amount determined by the formula A – B – C where A is the amount by which the total of all amounts each of which is the fair market value of a property held by the trust at the end of its assessment year exceeds the total of all amounts each of which is the principal amount outstanding at the end of its assessment year of a liability of the trust, B is the amount by which the total of all amounts each of which is the fair market value of a property held by the trust at the earliest time at which there is a resident contributor to, or resident beneficiary under, the trust and at which the trust is an exempt foreign trust (referred to in this paragraph as the “initial time”) exceeds the total of all amounts each of which is the principal amount outstanding at the initial time of a liability of the trust, and C is the total of all amounts each of which is the amount of a contribution made to the trust in the period that begins at the initial time and ends at the end of its assessment year (in this paragraph referred to as the “interest gross-up period”), and
if the trust is liable for tax for its assessment year, then throughout the period that begins at the trust’s balance-due day for each taxation year that ends in the interest gross-up period and ends at the balance-due day for its assessment year, the trust is (in addition to any excess otherwise determined in respect of the trust under that subsection) deemed to have an excess for the purposes of subsection 161(1) equal to the amount determined by the formula A/B × 42.92%where A is the amount determined under subparagraph (ii) in respect of the trust for the particular taxation year, and B is the number of the trust’s taxation years that end in the interest gross-up period.
If at a specified time in respect of a trust for a taxation year of the trust (referred to in this subsection as the “trust’s year”), there is an electing contributor in respect of the trust, the following rules apply:
the electing contributor is required to include in computing their income for their taxation year (referred to in this subsection as the “contributor’s year”) in which the trust’s year ends, the amount determined by the formula A/B × (C – D) where A is the total of all amounts each of which is if at or before the specified time the electing contributor has made a contribution to the trust and is not a joint contributor in respect of the trust and the contribution, the amount of the contribution, or if at or before the specified time the electing contributor has made a contribution to the trust and is a joint contributor in respect of the trust and the contribution, the amount obtained when the amount of the contribution is divided by the number of joint contributors in respect of the contribution, B is the total of all amounts each of which is the amount that would be determined under A for each resident contributor, or connected contributor, to the trust at the specified time if all of those contributors were electing contributors in respect of the trust, C is the trust’s income, computed without reference to paragraph (f), for the trust’s year, and D is the amount deducted by the trust under section 111 in computing its taxable income for the trust’s year;
subject to paragraph (c), the amount, if any, required by paragraph (a) to be included in the electing contributor’s income for the contributor’s year is deemed to be income from property from a source in Canada;
for the purposes of this paragraph, paragraph (d) and section 126, an amount in respect of the trust’s income for the trust’s year from a source in a country other than Canada is deemed to be income of the electing contributor for the contributor’s year from that source if
the amount is designated by the trust, in respect of the electing contributor, in the trust’s return of income under this Part for the trust’s year,
the amount may reasonably be considered (having regard to all the circumstances including the terms and conditions of the trust) to be part of the amount that because of paragraph (a) was included in computing the income of the electing contributor for the contributor’s year, and
the total of all amounts designated by the trust, under this paragraph or subsection 104(22) in respect of that source, in the trust’s return of income under this Part for the trust’s year is not greater than the trust’s income for the trust’s year from that source;
for the purposes of this paragraph and section 126, the electing contributor is deemed to have paid as business-income tax (in this subsection as defined by subsection 126(7)) or non-business-income tax (in this subsection as defined by subsection 126(7)), as the case may be, for the contributor’s year in respect of a source the amount determined by the formula A × B/C where A is the amount that, in the absence of subparagraph (e)(i), would be the business-income tax or non-business-income tax, as the case may be, paid by the trust in respect of that source for the trust’s year, B is the total of all amounts each of which is an amount designated under paragraph (c) in respect of that source by the trust in respect of the electing contributor in the trust’s return of income under this Part for the trust’s year, and C is the trust’s income for the trust’s year from that source;
in applying subsection 20(12) and section 126 in respect of the trust’s year there shall be deducted
in computing the trust’s income from a source for the trust’s year the total of all amounts each of which is an amount deemed by paragraph (c) to be income from that source of the electing contributor for the contributor’s year, and
in computing the business-income tax or non-business-income tax paid by the trust for the trust’s year in respect of a source the total of all amounts in respect of that source each of which is an amount deemed by paragraph (d) to be paid by the electing contributor as business-income tax or non-business-income tax, as the case may be, in respect of that source;
in computing the trust’s income for the trust’s year there may be deducted the amount that does not exceed the amount included by reason of paragraph (a) in the electing contributor’s income for the contributor’s year; and
if before the specified time the electing contributor made a contribution to the trust as part of a series of transactions in which another person made the same contribution, in applying paragraphs (a) to (f) in respect of the electing contributor and the other person, the other person is deemed not to be a joint contributor in respect of the contribution if it can reasonably be considered that one of the main purposes of the series was to obtain the benefit of any deduction in computing income, taxable income or tax payable under this Act or any balance of undeducted outlays, expenses or other amounts available to the other person or any exemption available to the other person from tax payable under this Act.
If, at or before a specified time in a trust’s taxation year (referred to in this subsection as the “trust’s year”), there is an electing contributor in respect of the trust who is a joint contributor in respect of a contribution to the trust,
each person who is a joint contributor in respect of the contribution
has, in respect of the contribution, jointly and severally, or solidarily, the rights and obligations under Divisions I and J of each other person (referred to in this subsection as the “specified person”) who is, at or before the specified time, a joint contributor in respect of that contribution, for the specified person’s taxation year in which the trust’s year ends, and
is subject to Part XV in respect of those rights and obligations; and
the maximum amount recoverable under the provisions referred to in paragraph (a) at a particular time from the person in respect of the contribution and a taxation year, of another person who is the specified person, in which the trust’s year ends is the amount determined by the formula A – B – C where A is the total of the amounts payable by the specified person under this Part for the specified person’s taxation year in which the trust’s year ends, B is the amount that would be determined for A if the total of the amounts payable by the specified person under this Part for the particular specified person’s taxation year in which the trust’s year ends were computed without reference to the contribution, and C is the amount recovered before the particular time from the specified person, and any other joint contributor in respect of the trust and the contribution, in connection with the liability of the specified person in respect of the contribution.
If in a taxation year a taxpayer holds or has an interest in property (referred to in this section as an “offshore investment fund property”)
that is a share of the capital stock of, an interest in, or a debt of, a non-resident entity (other than a controlled foreign affiliate of the taxpayer or a prescribed non-resident entity) or an interest in or a right or option to acquire such a share, interest or debt, and
that may reasonably be considered to derive its value, directly or indirectly, primarily from portfolio investments of that or any other non-resident entity in
shares of the capital stock of one or more corporations,
indebtedness or annuities,
interests in one or more corporations, trusts, partnerships, organizations, funds or entities,
commodities,
real estate,
Canadian or foreign resource properties,
currency of a country other than Canada,
rights or options to acquire or dispose of any of the foregoing, or
any combination of the foregoing,
and it may reasonably be concluded, having regard to all the circumstances, including
the nature, organization and operation of any non-resident entity and the form of, and the terms and conditions governing, the taxpayer’s interest in, or connection with, any non-resident entity,
the extent to which any income, profits and gains that may reasonably be considered to be earned or accrued, whether directly or indirectly, for the benefit of any non-resident entity are subject to an income or profits tax that is significantly less than the income tax that would be applicable to such income, profits and gains if they were earned directly by the taxpayer, and
the extent to which the income, profits and gains of any non-resident entity for any fiscal period are distributed in that or the immediately following fiscal period,
that one of the main reasons for the taxpayer acquiring, holding or having the interest in such property was to derive a benefit from portfolio investments in assets described in any of subparagraphs 94.1(1)(b)(i) to 94.1(1)(b)(ix) in such a manner that the taxes, if any, on the income, profits and gains from such assets for any particular year are significantly less than the tax that would have been applicable under this Part if the income, profits and gains had been earned directly by the taxpayer, there shall be included in computing the taxpayer’s income for the year the amount, if any, by which
the total of all amounts each of which is the product obtained when
the designated cost to the taxpayer of the offshore investment fund property at the end of a month in the year
is multiplied by
1/12 of the total of
the prescribed rate of interest for the period that includes that month, and
two per cent
exceeds
the taxpayer’s income for the year (other than a capital gain) from the offshore investment fund property determined without reference to this subsection.
In this section,
designated cost to a taxpayer at any time in a taxation year of an offshore investment fund property that the taxpayer holds or has an interest in means the amount determined by the formula A + B + C + D where A is the cost amount to the taxpayer of the property at that time (determined without reference to paragraphs 53(1)(m) and 53(1)(q), subparagraph 53(2)(c)(i.3), paragraphs 53(2)(g) and 53(2)(g.1) and section 143.2), B is, where an additional amount has been made available by a person to another person after 1984 and before that time, whether by way of gift, loan, payment for a share, transfer of property at less than its fair market value or otherwise, in circumstances such that it may reasonably be concluded that one of the main reasons for so making the additional amount available to the other person was to increase the value of the property, the total of all amounts each of which is the amount, if any, by which such an additional amount exceeds any increase in the cost amount to the taxpayer of the property by virtue of that additional amount, C is the total of all amounts each of which is an amount included in respect of the offshore investment fund property by virtue of this section in computing the taxpayer’s income for a preceding taxation year, and D is where the taxpayer has held or has had the interest in the property at all times since the end of 1984, the amount, if any, by which the fair market value of the property at the end of 1984 exceeds the cost amount to the taxpayer of the property at the end of 1984, or in any other case, the total of the amount, if any, by which the fair market value of the property at the particular time the taxpayer acquired the property exceeds the cost amount to the taxpayer of the property at the particular time, and the amount, if any, by which the total of all amounts each of which is an amount that would have been included in respect of the property because of this section in computing the taxpayer’s income for a taxation year that began before June 20, 1996 if the cost to the taxpayer of the property were equal to the fair market value of the property at the particular time exceeds the total of all amounts each of which is an amount that was included in respect of the property because of this section in computing the taxpayer’s income for a taxation year that began before June 20, 1996,
except that the designated cost of an offshore investment fund property that is a prescribed offshore investment fund property is nil; (coût désigné)
non-resident entity at any time means
a corporation that is at that time non-resident,

Where subsection 94.1(1) is applied with respect to an offshore investment fund property that was
held by the taxpayer on February 15, 1984,
received as a stock dividend in respect of a share of the capital stock of a non-resident entity held by the taxpayer on February 15, 1984,
received as a stock dividend in respect of a share of the capital stock of a non-resident entity that the taxpayer had previously received as described in paragraph 94.1(3)(b), or
substituted for a property held by the taxpayer on February 15, 1984 pursuant to an arrangement that existed on that date,
the reference to “1984” in the descriptions of B and in the definition designated cost in subsection 94.1(2) shall be read as a reference to “1985”.
Subsection (2) applies to a beneficiary under a trust, and to any particular person (other than an individual described in paragraph (a) of the definition connected contributor in subsection 94(1)) of which any such beneficiary is a controlled foreign affiliate, at any time if
the trust is at that time an exempt foreign trust (other than a trust described in any of paragraphs (a) to (g) of the definition exempt foreign trust in subsection 94(1));
either
the total fair market value at that time of all fixed interests of a particular class in the trust held by the beneficiary, persons or partnerships not dealing at arm’s length with the beneficiary, or persons or partnerships that acquired their interests in the trust in exchange for consideration given to the trust by the beneficiary, is at least 10% of the total fair market value at that time of all fixed interests of the particular class, or
the beneficiary or the particular person has at or before that time contributed restricted property to the trust; and
the beneficiary is at that time a
resident beneficiary,
mutual fund,
controlled foreign affiliate of the particular person, or
partnership of which a person described in any of subparagraphs (i) to (iii) is a member.
If this subsection applies at any time to a beneficiary under, or a particular person in respect of, a trust, then for the purposes of applying this section, subsections 91(1) to (4), paragraph 94.1(1)(a) and sections 95 and 233.4 to the beneficiary under, and, if applicable, to the particular person in respect of, the trust
the trust is deemed to be at that time a non-resident corporation
controlled by each of the beneficiary and the particular person, and
having, for each particular class of fixed interests in the trust, a separate class of capital stock of 100 issued shares that have the same attributes as the interests of the particular class; and
each beneficiary under the trust is deemed to hold at that time the number of shares of each separate class described in subparagraph (a)(ii) equal to the proportion of 100 that the fair market value at that time of that beneficiary’s fixed interests in the corresponding particular class of fixed interests in the trust is of the fair market value at that time of all fixed interests in the particular class.
For the purposes of applying subsection 91(1) to the beneficiary, and, if applicable, to the particular person, to whom subsection (2) applies
there may be deducted in computing the foreign accrual property income of the trust referred to in paragraph (2)(a) (in this subsection referred to as the “entity”) for a particular taxation year of the entity the amount that would, in the absence of this paragraph, be the portion of the entity’s foreign accrual property income that would reasonably be considered to have been if this Part were applicable to all beneficiaries of the entity, included under subsection 104(13) in computing the income of any beneficiary of the entity for the taxation year in which the particular taxation year of the entity ends; and
subsection 5904(2) of the Income Tax Regulations is to be read without reference to its paragraph (a) in determining the distribution entitlement of all the shares of a class of the capital stock of the entity at the end of the particular taxation year.
If the Minister sends a written request, served personally or by registered mail, to a taxpayer requesting additional information for the purpose of enabling the Minister to determine the fair market value of interests in a trust for the purpose of determining the application of subsections (1) to (3) for a taxation year to the taxpayer, and information that may reasonably be considered to be sufficient to make the determination is not received by the Minister within 120 days (or within any longer period that is acceptable to the Minister) after the Minister sends the request, then in applying this section for the taxation year to the taxpayer the fair market value of those interests is deemed to be the fair market value as reasonably determined by the Minister based on the information received by the Minister within 120 days (or within any longer period that is acceptable to the Minister) after the Minister sends the request and any other information the Minister considers reasonable.

where a particular foreign affiliate of a taxpayer — in respect of which the taxpayer has a qualifying interest or that is a controlled foreign affiliate of the taxpayer — is a member of a partnership, the particular foreign affiliate’s foreign accrual property income or loss in respect of the taxpayer for a taxation year shall not include any income or loss of the partnership to the extent that the income or loss
is attributable to the foreign accrual property income or loss of a foreign affiliate of the partnership that is also a foreign affiliate of the taxpayer (referred to in this paragraph as the “second foreign affiliate”) in respect of which the taxpayer has a qualifying interest or that is a controlled foreign affiliate of the taxpayer, and
is, because of paragraph (a) as applied in respect of the taxpayer, included in computing the income or loss from an active business of the second foreign affiliate for a taxation year.
In applying paragraph (b) of the definition controlled foreign affiliate in subsection (1) and in applying this subsection,
shares of the capital stock of a corporation that are at any time owned by, or that are deemed by this subsection to be at any time owned by, another corporation are deemed to be, at that time, owned by, or property of, as the case may be, each shareholder of the other corporation in the proportion that
the fair market value at that time of the shares of the capital stock of the other corporation that, at that time, are owned by, or are property of, the shareholder
the fair market value at that time of all the issued and outstanding shares of the capital stock of the other corporation;
shares of the capital stock of a corporation that are, or are deemed by this subsection to be, at any time, property of a partnership, are deemed to be, at that time, owned by, or property of, as the case may be, each member of the partnership in the proportion that
the fair market value at that time of the member’s partnership interest in the partnership
the fair market value at that time of all partnership interests in the partnership;
shares of the capital stock of a corporation that are at any time owned by, or that are deemed by this subsection to be at any time owned by, a non-discretionary trust (within the meaning assigned by subsection 17(15)) other than an exempt trust (within the meaning assigned by subsection (1)) are deemed to be, at that time, owned by, or property of, as the case may be, each beneficiary of the trust in the proportion that
the fair market value at that time of the beneficiary’s beneficial interest in the trust
the fair market value at that time of all beneficial interests in the trust; and
all of the shares of the capital stock of a corporation that are at any time owned by, or that are deemed by this subsection to be at any time owned by, a particular trust (other than an exempt trust within the meaning assigned by subsection (1) or a non-discretionary trust within the meaning assigned by subsection 17(15)) are deemed to be, at that time, owned by, or property of, as the case may be,
each beneficiary of the particular trust at that time, and
each settlor (within the meaning assigned by subsection 17(15)) in respect of the particular trust at that time.
In applying the assumption in paragraph (b) of the definition controlled foreign affiliate in subsection (1) in respect of a taxpayer resident in Canada to determine whether a foreign affiliate of the taxpayer is at any time a controlled foreign affiliate of the taxpayer, nothing in that paragraph or in subsection (2.01) is to be read or construed as requiring an interest, or for civil law a right, in a share of the capital stock of the foreign affiliate of the taxpayer owned at that time by the taxpayer to be taken into account more than once.
For the purposes of the definition investment business in subsection 95(1), a foreign affiliate of a taxpayer, the taxpayer and, where the taxpayer is a corporation all the issued shares of which are owned by a corporation described in subparagraph 95(2.1)(a)(i), such corporation described in subparagraph 95(2.1)(a)(i) shall be considered to be dealing with each other at arm’s length in respect of the entering into of agreements that provide for the purchase, sale or exchange of currency and the execution of such agreements where
the taxpayer is
a bank, a trust company, a credit union, an insurance corporation or a trader or dealer in securities or commodities resident in Canada, the business activities of which are subject by law to the supervision of a regulating authority such as the Superintendent of Financial Institutions or a similar authority of a province, or
a subsidiary wholly-owned corporation of a corporation described in subparagraph 95(2.1)(a)(i);
the agreements are swap agreements, forward purchase or sale agreements, forward rate agreements, futures agreements, options or rights agreements or similar agreements;
the affiliate entered into the agreements in the course of a business carried on by the affiliate, if
the business is carried on by the affiliate principally in a country (other than Canada) and principally with persons with whom the affiliate deals at arm’s length, and
the business activities of the affiliate are regulated in that country; and
the terms and conditions of such agreements are substantially the same as the terms and conditions of similar agreements made by persons dealing at arm’s length.
For the purposes of paragraphs (2)(a) and (g), a non-resident corporation that is not a foreign affiliate of a taxpayer in respect of which the taxpayer has a qualifying interest throughout a particular taxation year is deemed to be a foreign affiliate of the taxpayer in respect of which the taxpayer has a qualifying interest throughout that particular taxation year if
a person or partnership has, in that particular taxation year, acquired or disposed of shares of the capital stock of that non-resident corporation or of any other corporation and, because of that acquisition or disposition, that non-resident corporation becomes or ceases to be a foreign affiliate of the taxpayer in respect of which the taxpayer has a qualifying interest, and

at either or both of the beginning and end of the taxation year, the non-resident corporation is a controlled foreign affiliate of the taxpayer.
Subsection (2.2) does not apply for the purpose of paragraph (2)(a) in respect of any income or loss referred to in that paragraph, of a particular foreign affiliate of the taxpayer, to the extent that that income or loss can reasonably be considered to have been realized or to have accrued before the earlier of
the time at which the particular affiliate became, as determined without reference to subsection (2.2), a foreign affiliate of the taxpayer in respect of which the taxpayer had a qualifying interest, and
the time at which the particular affiliate became, as determined without reference to subsection (2.2), a foreign affiliate of another person resident in Canada in respect of which the other person resident in Canada had a qualifying interest, where
the taxpayer is a corporation,
the taxpayer did not exist at the beginning of the taxation year,
the particular affiliate became a foreign affiliate of the taxpayer in the taxation year because of a disposition, in the taxation year, of shares of the capital stock of the particular affiliate to the taxpayer by the other person resident in Canada, and
the other person resident in Canada was, immediately before that disposition, related to the taxpayer.
Paragraph 95(2)(a.1) does not apply to a foreign affiliate of a taxpayer in respect of a sale or exchange of property that is currency or a right to purchase, sell or exchange currency where

under the laws of the country (other than Canada) in which the business is principally carried on, or
if the affiliate is related to a corporation, under the laws of the country under the laws of which that related corporation is governed and any of exists, was (unless that related corporation was continued in any jurisdiction) formed or organized, or was last continued, if those regulating laws are recognized under the laws of the country in which the business is principally carried on and all of those countries are members of the European Union; and
the terms and conditions of the sale or exchange of such property are substantially the same as the terms and conditions of similar sales or exchanges of such property by persons dealing at arm’s length.
Paragraph 95(2)(a.3) does not apply to a foreign affiliate of a taxpayer in respect of its income derived directly or indirectly from indebtedness to the extent that
the income is derived by the affiliate in the course of a business conducted principally with persons with whom the affiliate deals at arm’s length carried on by it as a foreign bank, a trust company, a credit union, an insurance corporation or a trader or dealer in securities or commodities, the activities of which are regulated under the laws
of the country under whose laws the affiliate is governed and any of exists, was (unless the affiliate was continued in any jurisdiction) formed or organized, or was last continued and of each country in which the business is carried on through a permanent establishment in that country,

the income is derived by the affiliate from trading or dealing in the indebtedness (which, for this purpose, consists of income from the actual trading or dealing in the indebtedness and interest earned by the affiliate during a short term holding period on indebtedness acquired by it for the purpose of the trading or dealing) with persons (in this subsection referred to as “regular customers”) with whom it deals at arm’s length who were resident in a country other than Canada in which it and any competitor (which is resident in the country in which the affiliate is resident and regulated in the same manner the affiliate is regulated in the country under whose laws the affiliate was formed or continued and exists and is governed and in which its business is principally carried on) compete and have a substantial market presence,
Paragraph (2)(a.3) does not apply to a foreign affiliate of a taxpayer resident in Canada in respect of the foreign affiliate’s income for a taxation year derived, directly or indirectly, from indebtedness of persons resident in Canada or from indebtedness in respect of businesses carried on in Canada (referred to in this subsection as the “Canadian indebtedness”) if
the taxpayer is, at the end of the foreign affiliate’s taxation year
a life insurance corporation resident in Canada, the business activities of which are subject by law to the supervision of the Superintendent of Financial Institutions or a similar authority of a province, or
a corporation resident in Canada that is a subsidiary controlled corporation of a corporation described in subparagraph (i);
the Canadian indebtedness is used or held by the foreign affiliate, throughout the period in the taxation year that that Canadian indebtedness was used or held by the foreign affiliate, in the course of carrying on a business (referred to in this subsection as the “foreign life insurance business”) that is a life insurance business carried on outside Canada (other than a business deemed by paragraph (2)(a.2) to be a separate business other than an active business), the activities of which are regulated

under the laws of the country, if any, in which the business is principally carried on;
more than 90% of the gross premium revenue of the foreign affiliate for the taxation year in respect of the foreign life insurance business was derived from the insurance or reinsurance of risks (net of reinsurance ceded) in respect of persons
that were non-resident at the time at which the policies in respect of those risks were issued or effected, and
that were at that time dealing at arm’s length with the foreign affiliate, the taxpayer and all persons that were related at that time to the foreign affiliate or the taxpayer; and
it is reasonable to conclude that the foreign affiliate used or held the Canadian indebtedness
to fund a liability or reserve of the foreign life insurance business, or
as capital that can reasonably be considered to have been required for the foreign life insurance business.
If, at any time in a taxation year of a foreign affiliate of a taxpayer referred to in paragraph (2)(a.3), a life insurance corporation resident in Canada is the taxpayer referred to in paragraph (2)(a.3) or is a person who controls, or is controlled by, such a taxpayer, a particular indebtedness or a particular lease obligation of the life insurance corporation is, for the purposes of that paragraph, deemed, at that time, not to be an indebtedness or a lease obligation of a person resident in Canada, to the extent of the portion of the particular indebtedness or lease obligation that can reasonably be considered to have been issued by the life insurance corporation to the foreign affiliate
in respect of the life insurance corporation’s life insurance business carried on outside Canada; and
not in respect of
the life insurance corporation’s life insurance business carried on in Canada, or
any other use.

In this section,
direct equity percentage at any time of any person in a corporation is the percentage determined by the following rules:
for each class of the issued shares of the capital stock of the corporation, determine the proportion of 100 that the number of shares of that class owned by that person at that time is of the total number of issued shares of that class at that time, and
select the proportion determined under paragraph (a) for that person in respect of the corporation that is not less than any other proportion so determined for that person in respect of the corporation at that time,

equity percentage at any time of a person, in any particular corporation, is the total of
the person’s direct equity percentage at that time in the particular corporation, and
all percentages each of which is the product obtained when the person’s equity percentage at that time in any corporation is multiplied by that corporation’s direct equity percentage at that time in the particular corporation

For the purposes of this subdivision, an income bond or income debenture issued by a corporation (other than a corporation resident in Canada) shall be deemed to be a share of the capital stock of the corporation unless any interest or other similar periodic amount paid by the corporation on or in respect of the bond or debenture was, under the laws of the country in which the corporation was resident, deductible in computing the amount for the year on which the corporation was liable to pay income or profits tax imposed by the government of that country.
For the purposes of this subdivision (other than section 90),
where any person or partnership has a right under a contract, in equity or otherwise, either immediately or in the future and either absolutely or contingently, to, or to acquire, shares of the capital stock of a corporation or interests in a partnership and
it can reasonably be considered that the principal purpose for the existence of the right is to cause 2 or more corporations to be related for the purpose of paragraph 95(2)(a), those corporations shall be deemed not to be related for that purpose, or

each taxable capital gain and allowable capital loss of the partnership from the disposition of property, and
each income and loss of the partnership from each other source or from sources in a particular place,
each income or loss of the partnership for a taxation year were computed as if
this Act were read without reference to sections 34.1 and 34.2, subsection 59(1), paragraph 59(3.2)(c.1) and subsections 66.1(1), 66.2(1) and 66.4(1), and

in any other case, nil
If, at any time in a fiscal period of a partnership, a taxpayer ceases to be a member of the partnership
for the purposes of subsection (1), sections 34.1, 101 and 103 and paragraph 249.1(1)(b), and notwithstanding paragraph 98.1(1)(d), the taxpayer is deemed to be a member of the partnership at the end of the fiscal period; and
for the purposes of the application of paragraph (2.1)(b), subsection 40(3.12) and subparagraphs 53(1)(e)(i) and (viii) and (2)(c)(i) to the taxpayer, the fiscal period of the partnership is deemed to end
immediately before the time at which the taxpayer is deemed by subsection 70(5) to have disposed of the interest in the partnership, where the taxpayer ceased to be a member of the partnership because of the taxpayer’s death, and
immediately before the time that is immediately before the time that the taxpayer ceased to be a member of the partnership, in any other case.
For the purposes of subsection 96(1) and sections 34.1, 34.2, 101, 103 and 249.1,
where the principal activity of a partnership is carrying on a business in Canada and its members have entered into an agreement to allocate a share of the income or loss of the partnership from any source or from sources in a particular place, as the case may be, to any taxpayer who at any time ceased to be a member of
the partnership, or
a partnership that at any time has ceased to exist or would, but for subsection 98(1), have ceased to exist, and either have agreed to make such an allocation
the members of that partnership, or
the members of another partnership in which, immediately after that time, any of the members referred to in clause 96(1.1)(a)(ii)(A) became members
all amounts each of which is an amount equal to the share of the income or loss referred to in this subsection allocated to a taxpayer from a partnership in respect of a particular fiscal period of the partnership shall, notwithstanding any other provision of this Act, be included in computing the taxpayer’s income for the taxation year in which that fiscal period of the partnership ends.
If a SIFT partnership is liable to tax for a taxation year under Part IX.1,
paragraph (1)(f) is to be read as if the expression “the amount of the income of the partnership for a taxation year from any source or from sources in a particular place” were read as “the amount, if any, by which the income of the partnership for a taxation year from any source or from sources in a particular place exceeds, in respect of each such source, the portion of the partnership’s taxable non-portfolio earnings for the taxation year that is applicable to that source”; and
the partnership is deemed to have received a dividend in the taxation year from a taxable Canadian corporation equal to the amount by which the partnership’s taxable non-portfolio earnings for the taxation year exceeds the tax payable by the partnership for the taxation year under Part IX.1.
Where in a taxation year a taxpayer who has a right to a share of the income or loss of a partnership under an agreement referred to in subsection 96(1.1) disposes of that right,
there shall be included in computing the taxpayer’s income for the year the proceeds of the disposition; and
for greater certainty, the cost to the taxpayer of each property received by the taxpayer as consideration for the disposition is the fair market value of the property at the time of the disposition.
Where, by virtue of subsection 96(1.1) or 96(1.2), an amount has been included in computing a taxpayer’s income for a taxation year, there may be deducted in computing the taxpayer’s income for the year the lesser of
the amount so included in computing the taxpayer’s income for the year, and
the amount, if any, by which the cost to the taxpayer of the right to a share of the income or loss of a partnership under an agreement referred to in subsection 96(1.1) exceeds the total of all amounts in respect of that right that were deductible by virtue of this subsection in computing the taxpayer’s income for previous taxation years.
For the purposes of this Act, a right to a share of the income or loss of a partnership under an agreement referred to in subsection 96(1.1) shall be deemed not to be capital property.
Where, at the time of a taxpayer’s death, the taxpayer has a right to a share of the income or loss of a partnership under an agreement referred to in subsection 96(1.1), subsections 70(2) to 70(4) apply.
If a partnership carries on a business in Canada at any time, each taxpayer who is deemed by paragraph (1.1)(a) to be a member of the partnership at that time is deemed to carry on the business in Canada at that time for the purposes of subsection 2(3), sections 34.1 and 150 and (subject to subsection 34.2(18)) section 34.2.
Notwithstanding subsection (1) or section 38, where in a particular taxation year of a taxpayer, the taxpayer is a member of a partnership with a fiscal period that ends in the particular year, the amount of a taxable capital gain (other than that part of the amount that can reasonably be attributed to an amount deemed under subsection 14(1.1) to be a taxable capital gain of the partnership), allowable capital loss or allowable business investment loss of the taxpayer for the particular year determined in respect of the partnership is the amount determined by the formula A × B/C where A is the amount of the taxpayer’s taxable capital gain (other than that part of the amount that can be attributed to an amount deemed under subsection 14(1.1) to be a taxable capital gain of the partnership), allowable capital loss or allowable business investment loss, as the case may be, for the particular year otherwise determined under this section in respect of the partnership; B is the relevant fraction that applies under paragraph 38(a), (a.1), (a.2), (b) or (c) for the particular year in respect of the taxpayer; and C is the fraction that was used under section 38 for the fiscal period of the partnership.
Where the fraction referred to in the description of C in subsection (1.7) cannot be determined by a taxpayer in respect of a fiscal period of a partnership that ended before February 28, 2000, or includes February 28, 2000 or October 17, 2000, for the purposes of subsection (1.7), the fraction is deemed to be
where the fiscal period ended before or began before February 28, 2000, 3/4;
where the fiscal period began after February 27, 2000 and before October 18, 2000, 2/3; and
in any other case, 1/2.
For the purposes of subsection 56(4.1) and sections 74.1 and 74.3, where an individual has transferred or lent property, either directly or indirectly, by means of a trust or by any other means whatever, to a person and the property or property substituted therefor is an interest in a partnership, the person’s share of the amount of any income or loss of the partnership for a fiscal period in which the person was a specified member of the partnership shall be deemed to be income or loss, as the case may be, from the property or substituted property.
The provisions of this subdivision shall be read and construed as if each of the assumptions in paragraphs 96(1)(a) to 96(1)(g) were made.
Notwithstanding subsection 96(1), where a taxpayer is, at any time in a taxation year, a limited partner of a partnership, the amount, if any, by which
the total of all amounts each of which is the taxpayer’s share of the amount of any loss of the partnership, determined in accordance with subsection 96(1), for a fiscal period of the partnership ending in the taxation year from a business (other than a farming business) or from property
the amount, if any, by which
the taxpayer’s at-risk amount in respect of the partnership at the end of the fiscal period
the amount required by subsection 127(8) in respect of the partnership to be added in computing the investment tax credit of the taxpayer for the taxation year,
the taxpayer’s share of any losses of the partnership for the fiscal period from a farming business, and
the taxpayer’s share of
the foreign resource pool expenses, if any, incurred by the partnership in the fiscal period,
the Canadian exploration expense, if any, incurred by the partnership in the fiscal period,
the Canadian development expense, if any, incurred by the partnership in the fiscal period, and
the Canadian oil and gas property expense, if any, incurred by the partnership in the fiscal period,
not be deducted in computing the taxpayer’s income for the year,
not be included in computing the taxpayer’s non-capital loss for the year, and
be deemed to be the taxpayer’s limited partnership loss in respect of the partnership for the year.
For the purposes of this section and sections 111 and 127, the at-risk amount of a taxpayer, in respect of a partnership of which the taxpayer is a limited partner, at any particular time is the amount, if any, by which the total of
the adjusted cost base to the taxpayer of the taxpayer’s partnership interest at that time, computed in accordance with subsection 96(2.3) where applicable,
where the particular time is the end of the fiscal period of the partnership, the taxpayer’s share of the income of the partnership from a source for that fiscal period computed under the method described in subparagraph 53(1)(e)(i), and
where the particular time is the end of the fiscal period of the partnership, the amount referred to in subparagraph 53(1)(e)(viii) in respect of the taxpayer for that fiscal period
all amounts each of which is an amount owing at that time to the partnership, or to a person or partnership not dealing at arm’s length with the partnership, by the taxpayer or by a person or partnership not dealing at arm’s length with the taxpayer, other than any amount deducted under subparagraph 53(2)(c)(i.3) in computing the adjusted cost base, or under section 143.2 in computing the cost, to the taxpayer of the taxpayer’s partnership interest at that time, and
any amount or benefit that the taxpayer or a person not dealing at arm’s length with the taxpayer is entitled, either immediately or in the future and either absolutely or contingently, to receive or to obtain, whether by way of reimbursement, compensation, revenue guarantee, proceeds of disposition, loan or any other form of indebtedness or in any other form or manner whatever, granted or to be granted for the purpose of reducing the impact, in whole or in part, of any loss that the taxpayer may sustain because the taxpayer is a member of the partnership or holds or disposes of an interest in the partnership, except to the extent that the amount or benefit is included in the determination of the value of J in the definition cumulative Canadian exploration expense in subsection 66.1(6), of M in the definition cumulative Canadian development expense in subsection 66.2(5) or of I in the definition cumulative Canadian oil and gas property expense in subsection 66.4(5) in respect of the taxpayer, or the entitlement arises
by virtue of a contract of insurance with an insurance corporation dealing at arm’s length with each member of the partnership under which the taxpayer is insured against any claim arising as a result of a liability incurred in the ordinary course of carrying on the partnership business,
[Repealed, 1996, c. 21, s. 17(4)]
as a consequence of the death of the taxpayer,
[Repealed, 1998, c. 19, s. 123(3)]
in respect of an amount not included in the at-risk amount of the taxpayer determined without reference to this paragraph, or
because of an excluded obligation (as defined in subsection 6202.1(5) of the Income Tax Regulations) in relation to a share issued to the partnership by a corporation,
where the amount or benefit to which the taxpayer or the person is entitled at any time is provided by way of an agreement or other arrangement under which the taxpayer or the person has a right, either immediately or in the future and either absolutely or contingently (otherwise than as a consequence of the death of the taxpayer), to acquire other property in exchange for all or any part of the partnership interest, for greater certainty the amount or benefit to which the taxpayer or the person is entitled under the agreement or arrangement is considered to be not less than the fair market value of the other property at that time, and
where the amount or benefit to which the taxpayer or the person is entitled at any time is provided by way of a guarantee, security or similar indemnity or covenant in respect of any loan or other obligation of the taxpayer or the person, for greater certainty the amount or benefit to which the taxpayer or the person is entitled under the guarantee or indemnity at any particular time is considered to be not less than the total of the unpaid amount of the loan or obligation at that time and all other amounts outstanding in respect of the loan or obligation at that time.
For the purposes of subsection 96(2.2), where a taxpayer has acquired the taxpayer’s partnership interest at any time from a transferor other than the partnership, the adjusted cost base to the taxpayer of that interest shall be computed as if the cost to the taxpayer of the interest were the lesser of
the taxpayer’s cost otherwise determined, and
the greater of
the adjusted cost base of that interest to the transferor immediately before that time, and
nil,
For the purposes of this section and sections 111 and 127, a taxpayer who is a member of a partnership at a particular time is a limited partner of the partnership at that time if the member’s partnership interest is not an exempt interest (within the meaning assigned by subsection (2.5)) at that time and if, at that time or within 3 years after that time,
by operation of any law governing the partnership arrangement, the liability of the member as a member of the partnership is limited (except by operation of a provision of a statute of Canada or a province that limits the member’s liability only for debts, obligations and liabilities of the partnership, or any member of the partnership, arising from negligent acts or omissions, from misconduct or from fault of another member of the partnership or an employee, an agent or a representative of the partnership in the course of the partnership business while the partnership is a limited liability partnership);
the member or a person not dealing at arm’s length with the member is entitled, either immediately or in the future and either absolutely or contingently, to receive an amount or to obtain a benefit that would be described in paragraph (2.2)(d) if that paragraph were read without reference to subparagraphs (ii) and (vi);
one of the reasons for the existence of the member who owns the interest
can reasonably be considered to be to limit the liability of any person with respect to that interest, and
cannot reasonably be considered to be to permit any person who has an interest in the member to carry on that person’s business (other than an investment business) in the most effective manner; or
there is an agreement or other arrangement for the disposition of an interest in the partnership and one of the main reasons for the agreement or arrangement can reasonably be considered to be to attempt to avoid the application of this subsection to the member.
For the purposes of subsection 96(2.4), an exempt interest in a partnership at any time means a prescribed partnership interest or an interest in a partnership that was actively carrying on business on a regular and a continuous basis immediately before February 26, 1986 and continuously thereafter until that time or that was earning income from the rental or leasing of property immediately before February 26, 1986 and continuously thereafter until that time, where there has not after February 25, 1986 and before that time been a substantial contribution of capital to the partnership or a substantial increase in the indebtedness of the partnership and, for this purpose, an amount will not be considered to be substantial where
the amount was used by the partnership to make an expenditure required to be made pursuant to the terms of a written agreement entered into by it before February 26, 1986, or to repay a loan, debt or contribution of capital that had been received or incurred in respect of any such expenditure,
the amount was raised pursuant to the terms of a prospectus, preliminary prospectus or registration statement filed before February 26, 1986 with a public authority in Canada pursuant to and in accordance with the securities legislation of Canada or of any province, and, where required by law, accepted for filing by that public authority, or
the amount was used for the activity that was carried on by the partnership on February 25, 1986 but was not used for a significant expansion of the activity
a partnership in respect of which paragraph 96(2.5)(b) applies shall be considered to have been actively carrying on a business on a regular and a continuous basis immediately before February 26, 1986 and continuously thereafter until the earlier of the closing date, if any, stipulated in the document referred to in that paragraph and January 1, 1987, and
an expenditure shall not be considered to have been required to be made pursuant to the terms of an agreement where the obligation to make the expenditure is conditional in any way on the consequences under this Act relating to the expenditure and the condition has not been satisfied or waived before June 12, 1986.
For the purposes of paragraph 96(2.2)(c), where at any time an amount owing by a taxpayer or a person with whom the taxpayer does not deal at arm’s length is repaid and it is established, by subsequent events or otherwise, that the repayment was made as part of a series of loans or other transactions and repayments, the amount owing shall be deemed not to have been repaid.
For the purposes of paragraph 96(2.2)(a), where at any time a taxpayer makes a contribution of capital to a partnership and the partnership or a person or partnership with whom or which the partnership does not deal at arm’s length makes a loan to the taxpayer or to a person with whom the taxpayer does not deal at arm’s length or repays the contribution of capital, and it is established, by subsequent events or otherwise, that the loan or repayment, as the case may be, was made as part of a series of loans or other transactions and repayments, the contribution of capital shall be deemed not to have been made to the extent of the loan or repayment, as the case may be.
If a taxpayer who was a member of a partnership at any time in a fiscal period has, for any purpose relevant to the computation of the taxpayer’s income from the partnership for the fiscal period, made or executed an agreement, designation or election under or in respect of the application of any of subsections 13(4), (4.2) and (16) and 14(1.01), (1.02) and (6), section 15.2, subsections 20(9) and 21(1) to (4), section 22, subsection 29(1), section 34, clause 37(8)(a)(ii)(B), subsections 44(1) and (6), 50(1) and 80(5) and (9) to (11), section 80.04, subsections 86.1(2), 88(3.1), (3.3) and (3.5) and 90(3), the definition relevant cost base in subsection 95(4) and subsections 97(2), 139.1(16) and (17) and 249.1(4) and (6) that, if this Act were read without reference to this subsection, would be a valid agreement, designation or election,
the agreement, designation or election is not valid unless
it was made or executed on behalf of the taxpayer and each other person who was a member of the partnership during the fiscal period, and
the taxpayer had authority to act for the partnership;
unless the agreement, designation or election is invalid because of paragraph 96(3)(a), each other person who was a member of the partnership during the fiscal period shall be deemed to have made or executed the agreement, designation or election; and
notwithstanding paragraph 96(3)(a), any agreement, designation or election deemed by paragraph 96(3)(b) to have been made or executed by any person shall be deemed to be a valid agreement, designation or election made or executed by that person.
Any election under subsection 97(2) or 98(3) shall be made on or before the day that is the earliest of the days on or before which any taxpayer making the election is required to file a return of income pursuant to section 150 for the taxpayer’s taxation year in which the transaction to which the election relates occurred.
Where an election referred to in subsection 96(4) was not made on or before the day on or before which the election was required by that subsection to be made and that day was after May 6, 1974, the election shall be deemed to have been made on that day if, on or before the day that is 3 years after that day,
the election is made in prescribed form; and
an estimate of the penalty in respect of that election is paid by the taxpayer referred to in subsection 97(2) or by the persons referred to in subsection 98(3), as the case may be, when that election is made.
Where, in the opinion of the Minister, the circumstances of a case are such that it would be just and equitable
to permit an election under subsection 97(2) or 98(3) to be made after the day that is 3 years after the day on or before which the election was required by subsection 96(4) to be made, or
to permit an election made under subsection 97(2) to be amended,
the election or amended election is made in prescribed form, and
an estimate of the penalty in respect of the election or amended election is paid by the taxpayer referred to in subsection 97(2) or by the persons referred to in subsection 98(3), as the case may be, when the election or amended election is made,
For the purposes of this section, the penalty in respect of an election or an amended election referred to in paragraph 96(5)(a) or 96(5.1)(c) is
where the election or amended election is made under subsection 97(2), an amount equal to the lesser of
1/4 of 1% of the amount by which the fair market value of the property disposed of by the taxpayer referred to therein at the time of disposition exceeds the amount agreed on by the taxpayer and the members of the partnership in the election or amended election, for each month or part of a month during the period commencing with the day on or before which the election is required by subsection 96(4) to be made and ending on the day the election or amended election is made, and
an amount, not exceeding $8,000, equal to the product obtained by multiplying $100 by the number of months each of which is a month all or part of which is during the period referred to in subparagraph 96(6)(a)(i); and
where the election is made under subsection 98(3), an amount equal to the lesser of
1/4 of 1% of the amount by which exceeds for each month or part of a month during the period commencing with the day on or before which the election is required by subsection 96(4) to be made and ending on the day the election or amended election is made, and
the total of all amounts of money and the fair market value of partnership property received by the persons referred to therein as consideration for their interests in the partnership at the time that the partnership ceased to exist
the total of each such person’s proceeds of disposition of that person’s interest in the partnership as determined under paragraph 98(3)(a),
an amount, not exceeding $8,000, equal to the product obtained by multiplying $100 by the number of months each of which is a month all or part of which is during the period referred to in subparagraph 96(6)(b)(i).
The Minister shall, with all due dispatch, examine each election and amended election referred to in paragraph 96(5)(a) or 96(5.1)(c), assess the penalty payable and send a notice of assessment to the taxpayer or persons, as the case may be, and the taxpayer or persons, as the case may be, shall pay forthwith to the Receiver General the amount, if any, by which the penalty so assessed exceeds the total of all amounts previously paid on account of that penalty.
For the purposes of this Act, where at a particular time a person resident in Canada becomes a member of a partnership, or a person who is a member of a partnership becomes resident in Canada, and immediately before the particular time no member of the partnership is resident in Canada, the following rules apply for the purpose of computing the partnership’s income for fiscal periods ending after the particular time:
where, at or before the particular time, the partnership held depreciable property of a prescribed class (other than taxable Canadian property),
no amount shall be included in determining the amounts for any of A, C, D and F to I in the definition undepreciated capital cost in subsection 13(21) in respect of the acquisition or disposition before the particular time of the property, and
where the property is the partnership’s property at the particular time, the property shall be deemed to have been acquired, immediately after the particular time, by the partnership at a capital cost equal to the lesser of its fair market value and its capital cost to the partnership otherwise determined;
in the case of the partnership’s property that is inventory (other than inventory of a business carried on in Canada) or non-depreciable capital property (other than taxable Canadian property) of the partnership at the particular time, its cost to the partnership shall be deemed to be, immediately after the particular time, equal to the lesser of its fair market value and its cost to the partnership otherwise determined;
any loss in respect of the disposition of a property (other than inventory of a business carried on in Canada or taxable Canadian property) by the partnership before the particular time shall be deemed to be nil; and
where 4/3 of the cumulative eligible capital in respect of a business carried on at the particular time outside Canada by the partnership exceeds the total of the fair market value of each eligible capital property in respect of the business at that time, the partnership shall be deemed to have, immediately after that time, disposed of an eligible capital property in respect of the business for proceeds equal to the excess and to have received those proceeds.
For the purposes of applying subsection (8) and this subsection,
where it can reasonably be considered that one of the main reasons that a member of a partnership is resident in Canada is to avoid the application of subsection (8), the member is deemed not to be resident in Canada; and
where at any time a particular partnership is a member of another partnership,
each person or partnership that is, at that time, a member of the particular partnership is deemed to be a member of the other partnership at that time,
each person or partnership that becomes a member of the particular partnership at that time is deemed to become a member of the other partnership at that time, and
each person or partnership that ceases to be a member of the particular partnership at that time is deemed to cease to be a member of the other partnership at that time.
Where at any time after 1971 a partnership has acquired property from a taxpayer who was, immediately after that time, a member of the partnership, the partnership shall be deemed to have acquired the property at an amount equal to its fair market value at that time and the taxpayer shall be deemed to have disposed of the property for proceeds equal to that fair market value.
Notwithstanding any other provision of this Act other than subsections (3) and 13(21.2), where a taxpayer at any time disposes of any property that is a capital property, Canadian resource property, foreign resource property, eligible capital property or inventory of the taxpayer to a partnership that immediately after that time is a Canadian partnership of which the taxpayer is a member, if the taxpayer and all the other members of the partnership jointly so elect in prescribed form within the time referred to in subsection 96(4),
the provisions of paragraphs 85(1)(a) to 85(1)(f) apply to the disposition as if
the reference therein to “corporation’s cost” were read as a reference to “partnership’s cost”,
the references therein to “other than any shares of the capital stock of the corporation or a right to receive any such shares” and to “other than shares of the capital stock of the corporation or a right to receive any such shares” were read as references to “other than an interest in the partnership”,
the references therein to “shareholder of the corporation” were read as references to “member of the partnership”,
the references therein to “the corporation” were read as references to “all the other members of the partnership”, and
the references therein to “to the corporation” were read as references to “to the partnership”;
in computing, at any time after the disposition, the adjusted cost base to the taxpayer of the taxpayer’s interest in the partnership immediately after the disposition,
there shall be added the amount, if any, by which the taxpayer’s proceeds of disposition of the property exceed the fair market value, at the time of the disposition, of the consideration (other than an interest in the partnership) received by the taxpayer for the property, and
there shall be deducted the amount, if any, by which the fair market value, at the time of the disposition, of the consideration (other than an interest in the partnership) received by the taxpayer for the property so disposed of by the taxpayer exceeds the fair market value of the property at the time of the disposition; and
where the property so disposed of by the taxpayer to the partnership is taxable Canadian property of the taxpayer, the interest in the partnership received by the taxpayer as consideration for the property is deemed to be, at any time that is within 60 months after the disposition, taxable Canadian property of the taxpayer.
Subsection (2) does not apply to a disposition of a property by a taxpayer to a particular partnership if
as part of a transaction or event or series of transactions or events that includes the disposition
control of a taxable Canadian corporation (in this subsection referred to as the “subsidiary”) is acquired by another taxable Canadian corporation (in this paragraph referred to as the “parent”),
the subsidiary is wound up under subsection 88(1) or amalgamated with one or more other corporations under subsection 87(11), and
the parent makes a designation under paragraph 88(1)(d) in respect of an interest in a partnership;
the disposition occurs after the acquisition of control of the subsidiary;
the property
is referred to in clauses (A) to (C) of the description of B in subparagraph 88(1)(d)(ii.1), or
is an interest in a partnership that holds, directly or indirectly through one or more partnerships, property referred to in clauses (A) to (C) of the description of B in subparagraph 88(1)(d)(ii.1); and
the subsidiary is the taxpayer or has, before the disposition of the property, directly or indirectly in any manner whatever, an interest in the taxpayer.
[Repealed, 1998, c. 19, s. 124(2)]
Where subsection 97(2) has been applicable in respect of the acquisition of any depreciable property by a partnership from a taxpayer who was, immediately after the taxpayer disposed of the property, a member of the partnership and the capital cost to the taxpayer of the property exceeds the taxpayer’s proceeds of the disposition, for the purposes of sections 13 and 20 and any regulations made under paragraph 20(1)(a)
the capital cost to the partnership of the property shall be deemed to be the amount that was the capital cost thereof to the taxpayer; and
the excess shall be deemed to have been allowed to the partnership in respect of the property under regulations made under paragraph 20(1)(a) in computing income for taxation years before the acquisition by the partnership of the property.
If subsection (2) has applied in respect of the acquisition at any particular time of any depreciable property by a partnership from an individual, the cost of the property to the individual was included in computing an amount under paragraph 8(1)(r) or (s) in respect of the individual, and the amount that would be the cost of the property to the individual immediately before the transfer if this Act were read without reference to subsection 8(7) (which amount is in this subsection referred to as the “individual’s original cost”) exceeds the individual’s proceeds of disposition of the property,
the capital cost to the partnership of the property is deemed to be equal to the individual’s original cost; and
the amount by which the individual’s original cost exceeds the individual’s proceeds of disposition in respect of the property is deemed to have been deducted by the partnership under paragraph 20(1)(a) in respect of the property in computing income for taxation years that ended before that particular time.
For the purposes of this Act, where, but for this subsection, at any time after 1971 a partnership would be regarded as having ceased to exist, the following rules apply:
until such time as all the partnership property and any property substituted therefor has been distributed to the persons entitled by law to receive it, the partnership shall be deemed not to have ceased to exist, and each person who was a partner shall be deemed not to have ceased to be a partner,
the right of each such person to share in that property shall be deemed to be an interest in the partnership, and
notwithstanding subsection 40(3), where at the end of a fiscal period of the partnership, in respect of an interest in the partnership,
the total of all amounts required by subsection 53(2) to be deducted in computing the adjusted cost base to the taxpayer of the interest at that time
the total of the cost to the taxpayer of the interest determined for the purpose of computing the adjusted cost base to the taxpayer of that interest at that time and all amounts required by subsection 53(1) to be added to the cost to the taxpayer of the interest in computing the adjusted cost base to the taxpayer of that interest at that time,
Subject to subsections 98(3) and 98(5) and 85(3), where at any time after 1971 a partnership has disposed of property to a taxpayer who was, immediately before that time, a member of the partnership, the partnership shall be deemed to have disposed of the property for proceeds equal to its fair market value at that time and the taxpayer shall be deemed to have acquired the property at an amount equal to that fair market value.
If at any particular time after 1971 a Canadian partnership has ceased to exist and all the partnership property has been distributed to persons who were members of the partnership immediately before that time so that immediately after that time each such person has, in each such property, an undivided interest, or for civil law an undivided right (which undivided interest or undivided right is referred to in this subsection as an “undivided interest or right”, as the case may be) that, when expressed as a percentage (referred to in this subsection as that person’s “percentage”) of all undivided interests or rights in the property, is equal to the person’s undivided interest or right, when so expressed, in each other such property, if each such person has jointly so elected in respect of the property in prescribed form and within the time referred to in subsection 96(4), the following rules apply:
each such person’s proceeds of the disposition of the person’s interest in the partnership shall be deemed to be an amount equal to the greater of
the adjusted cost base to the person, immediately before the particular time, of the person’s interest in the partnership, and
the amount of any money received by the person on the cessation of the partnership’s existence, plus the person’s percentage of the total of amounts each of which is the cost amount to the partnership of each such property immediately before its distribution;
the cost to each such person of that person’s undivided interest or right in each such property is deemed to be an amount equal to the total of
that person’s percentage of the cost amount to the partnership of the property immediately before its distribution,
where the property is eligible capital property, that person’s percentage of 4/3 of the amount, if any, determined for F in the definition cumulative eligible capital in subsection 14(5) in respect of the partnership’s business immediately before the particular time, and
where the amount determined under subparagraph (a)(i) exceeds the amount determined under subparagraph (a)(ii), the amount determined under paragraph (c) in respect of the person’s undivided interest or right in the property;
the amount determined under this paragraph in respect of each such person’s undivided interest or right in each such property that was a capital property (other than depreciable property) of the partnership is such portion of the excess, if any, described in subparagraph (b)(ii) as is designated by the person in respect of the property, except that
in no case shall the amount so designated in respect of the person’s undivided interest or right in any such property exceed the amount, if any, by which the person’s percentage of the fair market value of the property immediately after its distribution exceeds the person’s percentage of the cost amount to the partnership of the property immediately before its distribution, and
in no case shall the total of amounts so designated in respect of the person’s undivided interest or right in all such capital properties (other than depreciable property) exceed the excess, if any, described in subparagraph (b)(ii);
if the property so distributed by the partnership was depreciable property of the partnership of a prescribed class and any such person’s percentage of the amount that was the capital cost to the partnership of that property exceeds the amount determined under paragraph (b) to be the cost to the person of the person’s undivided interest or right in the property, for the purposes of sections 13 and 20 and any regulations made under paragraph 20(1)(a)
the capital cost to the person of the person’s undivided interest or right in the property is deemed to be the person’s percentage of the amount that was the capital cost to the partnership of the property, and
the excess is deemed to have been allowed to the person in respect of the property under regulations made under paragraph 20(1)(a) in computing income for taxation years before the acquisition by the person of the undivided interest or right;
the partnership shall be deemed to have disposed of each such property for proceeds equal to the cost amount to the partnership of the property immediately before its distribution; and
where the property so distributed by the partnership was eligible capital property in respect of the business,
for the purpose of determining after the particular time the amount required by paragraph 14(1)(b) to be included in computing the person’s income in respect of any subsequent disposition of property of the business, the value determined for Q in the definition cumulative eligible capital in subsection 14(5) is deemed to be the amount, if any, of that person’s percentage of the value determined for Q in that definition in respect of the partnership’s business immediately before the particular time.
for the purposes of determining the person’s cumulative eligible capital in respect of the business, an amount equal to 3/4 of the amount determined under subparagraph 98(3)(b)(i.1) in respect of the business shall be added to the amount otherwise determined in respect thereof for P in the definition cumulative eligible capital in subsection 14(5), and
for the purposes of determining under this Act any amount relating to cumulative eligible capital, an eligible capital amount, an eligible capital expenditure or eligible capital property, each such person is deemed to have continued to carry on the business, in respect of which the property was eligible capital property and that was previously carried on by the partnership, until the time that the person disposes of the person’s undivided interest or right in the property,
Subsection 98(3) is not applicable in any case in which subsection 98(5) or 85(3) is applicable.
Where at any particular time after 1971 a Canadian partnership has ceased to exist and within 3 months after the particular time one, but not more than one, of the persons who were, immediately before the particular time, members of the partnership (which person is in this subsection referred to as the “proprietor”, whether an individual, a trust or a corporation) carries on alone the business that was the business of the partnership and continues to use, in the course of the business, any property that was, immediately before the particular time, partnership property and that was received by the proprietor as proceeds of disposition of the proprietor’s interest in the partnership, the following rules apply:
the proprietor’s proceeds of disposition of the proprietor’s interest in the partnership shall be deemed to be an amount equal to the greater of
the total of the adjusted cost base to the proprietor, immediately before the particular time, of the proprietor’s interest in the partnership, and the adjusted cost base to the proprietor of each other interest in the partnership deemed by paragraph 98(5)(g) to have been acquired by the proprietor at the particular time, and
the total of
the cost amount to the partnership, immediately before the particular time, of each such property so received by the proprietor, and
the amount of any other proceeds of the disposition of the proprietor’s interest in the partnership received by the proprietor;
the cost to the proprietor of each such property shall be deemed to be an amount equal to the total of
the cost amount to the partnership of the property immediately before that time,
where the property is eligible capital property, 4/3 of the amount, if any, determined for F in the definition cumulative eligible capital in subsection 14(5) in respect of the partnership’s business immediately before the particular time, and
where the amount determined under subparagraph 98(5)(a)(i) exceeds the amount determined under subparagraph 98(5)(a)(ii), the amount determined under paragraph 98(5)(c) in respect of the property;
the amount determined under this paragraph in respect of each such property so received by the proprietor that is a capital property (other than depreciable property) of the proprietor is such portion of the excess, if any, described in subparagraph 98(5)(b)(ii) as is designated by the proprietor in respect of the property, except that
in no case shall the amount so designated in respect of any such property exceed the amount, if any, by which the fair market value of the property immediately after the particular time exceeds the cost amount to the partnership of the property immediately before that time, and
in no case shall the total of amounts so designated in respect of all such capital properties (other than depreciable property) exceed the excess, if any, described in subparagraph 98(5)(b)(ii);
where any such property so received by the proprietor was depreciable property of a prescribed class of the partnership and the amount that was the capital cost to the partnership of that property exceeds the amount determined under paragraph 98(5)(b) to be the cost to the proprietor of the property, for the purposes of sections 13 and 20 and any regulations made under paragraph 20(1)(a)
the capital cost to the proprietor of the property shall be deemed to be the amount that was the capital cost to the partnership of the property, and
the excess shall be deemed to have been allowed to the proprietor in respect of the property under regulations made under paragraph 20(1)(a) in computing income for taxation years before the acquisition by the proprietor of the property;
the partnership shall be deemed to have disposed of each such property for proceeds equal to the cost amount to the partnership of the property immediately before the particular time;
where, at the particular time, all other persons who were members of the partnership immediately before that time have disposed of their interests in the partnership to the proprietor, the proprietor shall be deemed at that time to have acquired partnership interests from those other persons and not to have acquired any property that was property of the partnership; and
where the property so received by the proprietor is eligible capital property in respect of the business,
for the purpose of determining after the particular time the amount required by paragraph 14(1)(b) to be included in computing the proprietor’s income in respect of any subsequent disposition of property of the business, the value determined for Q in the definition cumulative eligible capital in subsection 14(5) is deemed to be the value, if any, determined for Q in that definition in respect of the partnership’s business immediately before the particular time.
for the purpose of determining the proprietor’s cumulative eligible capital in respect of the business, an amount equal to 3/4 of the amount determined under subparagraph 98(5)(b)(i.1) in respect of the business shall be added to the amount otherwise determined in respect thereof for P in the definition cumulative eligible capital in subsection 14(5), and
Where a Canadian partnership (in this subsection referred to as the “predecessor partnership”) has ceased to exist at any particular time after 1971 and, at or before that time, all of the property of the predecessor partnership has been transferred to another Canadian partnership (in this subsection referred to as the “new partnership”) the only members of which were members of the predecessor partnership, the new partnership shall be deemed to be a continuation of the predecessor partnership and any member’s partnership interest in the new partnership shall be deemed to be a continuation of the member’s partnership interest in the predecessor partnership.
Where, but for this subsection, at any time after 1971 a taxpayer has ceased to be a member of a partnership of which the taxpayer was a member immediately before that time, the following rules apply:
until such time as all the taxpayer’s rights (other than a right to a share of the income or loss of the partnership under an agreement referred to in subsection 96(1.1)) to receive any property of or from the partnership in satisfaction of the taxpayer’s interest in the partnership immediately before the time at which the taxpayer ceased to be a member of the partnership are satisfied in full, that interest (in this section referred to as a “residual interest”) is, subject to sections 70, 110.6 and 128.1 but notwithstanding any other section of this Act, deemed not to have been disposed of by the taxpayer and to continue to be an interest in the partnership;
where all of the taxpayer’s rights described in paragraph 98.1(1)(a) are satisfied in full before the end of the fiscal period of the partnership in which the taxpayer ceased to be a member thereof, the taxpayer shall, notwithstanding paragraph 98.1(1)(a), be deemed not to have disposed of the taxpayer’s residual interest until the end of that fiscal period;
notwithstanding subsection 40(3), where at the end of a fiscal period of the partnership, in respect of a residual interest in the partnership,
the total of all amounts required by subsection 53(2) to be deducted in computing the adjusted cost base to the taxpayer of the residual interest at that time
exceeds
the total of the cost to the taxpayer of the residual interest determined for the purpose of computing the adjusted cost base to the taxpayer of that interest at that time and all amounts required by subsection 53(1) to be added to the cost to the taxpayer of the residual interest in computing the adjusted cost base to the taxpayer of that interest at that time
the amount of the excess shall be deemed to be a gain of the taxpayer, for the taxpayer’s taxation year that includes that time, from a disposition at that time of that residual interest; and
where a taxpayer has a residual interest
by reason of paragraph (b), the taxpayer shall, except for the purposes of subsections 110.1(4) and 118.1(8), be deemed not to be a member of the partnership, and
in any other case, the taxpayer shall, except for the purposes of subsection 85(3), be deemed not to be a member of the partnership.
Where a partnership (in this subsection referred to as the “original partnership”) has or would but for subsection 98(1) have ceased to exist at a time when a taxpayer had rights described in paragraph 98.1(1)(a) in respect of that partnership and the members of another partnership agree to satisfy all or part of those rights, that other partnership shall, for the purposes of that paragraph, be deemed to be a continuation of the original partnership.
Where by virtue of the death of an individual a taxpayer has acquired a property that was an interest in a partnership to which, immediately before the individual’s death, section 98.1 applied,
the taxpayer shall be deemed to have acquired a right to receive partnership property and not to have acquired an interest in a partnership;
the taxpayer shall be deemed to have acquired the right referred to in paragraph 98.2(a) at a cost equal to the amount determined to be the proceeds of disposition of the interest in the partnership to the deceased individual by virtue of paragraph 70(5)(a) or (6)(d), as the case may be; and
section 43 is not applicable to the right.
Subject to subsection (2), if, at any particular time in a fiscal period of a partnership, the partnership would, if this Act were read without reference to subsection 98(1), have ceased to exist, the fiscal period is deemed to have ended immediately before the time that is immediately before that particular time.
Where an individual was a member of a partnership that, at any time in a fiscal period of a partnership, has or would have, but for subsection 98(1), ceased to exist, for the purposes of computing the individual’s income for a taxation year the partnership’s fiscal period may, if the individual so elects and subsection 249.1(4) does not apply in respect of the partnership, be deemed to have ended immediately before the time when the fiscal period of the partnership would have ended if the partnership had not so ceased to exist.
An election under subsection 99(2) is not valid unless the individual was resident in Canada at the time when the fiscal period of the partnership would, if the election were valid, be deemed to have ended.
An election under subsection 99(2) is not valid if, for the individual’s taxation year in which a fiscal period of the partnership would not, if the election were valid, be deemed to have ended but in which it would otherwise have ended, the individual elects to have applicable the rules set out in the Income Tax Application Rules that apply when two or more fiscal periods of a partnership end in the same taxation year.
If, as part of a transaction or event or series of transactions or events, a taxpayer disposes of an interest in a partnership and an interest in the partnership is acquired by a person or partnership described in any of paragraphs (1.1)(a) to (d), then notwithstanding paragraph 38(a), the taxpayer’s taxable capital gain for a taxation year from the disposition of the interest is deemed to be the total of
1/2 of such portion of the taxpayer’s capital gain for the year from the disposition as may reasonably be regarded as attributable to increases in the value of any partnership property of the partnership that is capital property other than depreciable property held directly by the partnership or held indirectly by the partnership through one or more other partnerships, and
the whole of the remaining portion of that capital gain.
Subject to subsection (1.2), subsection (1) applies in respect of a disposition of a partnership interest by a taxpayer if the interest is acquired by
a person exempt from tax under section 149;
a non-resident person;
another partnership to the extent that the interest can reasonably be considered to be held, at the time of its acquisition by the other partnership, indirectly through one or more partnerships, by a person that is
exempt from tax under section 149,
a non-resident, or
a trust resident in Canada (other than a mutual fund trust) if
an interest as a beneficiary (in this subsection and subsection (1.2) having the meaning assigned by subsection 108(1)) under the trust is held, directly or indirectly through one or more other partnerships, by a person that is exempt from tax under section 149 or that is a trust (other than a mutual fund trust), and
the total fair market value of the interests as beneficiaries under the trust held by persons referred to in clause (A) exceeds 10% of the fair market value of all the interests as beneficiaries under the trust; or
a trust resident in Canada (other than a mutual fund trust) to the extent that the trust can reasonably be considered to have a beneficiary that is
exempt from tax under section 149,
a partnership, if
an interest in the partnership is held, whether directly or indirectly through one or more other partnerships, by one or more persons that are exempt from tax under section 149 or are trusts (other than mutual fund trusts), and
the total fair market value of the interests held by persons referred to in clause (A) exceeds 10% of the fair market value of all the interests in the partnership, or
another trust (other than a mutual fund trust), if
one or more beneficiaries under the other trust are a person exempt from tax under section 149, a partnership or a trust (other than a mutual fund trust), and
the total fair market value of the interests as beneficiaries under the other trust held by the beneficiaries referred to in clause (A) exceeds 10% of the fair market value of all the interests as beneficiaries under the other trust.
Subsection (1) does not apply to a taxpayer’s disposition of a partnership interest to a partnership or trust described in paragraph (1.1)(c) or (d) — other than a trust under which the amount of the income or capital to be distributed at any time in respect of any interest as a beneficiary under the trust depends on the exercise by any person or partnership of, or the failure by any person or partnership to exercise, any discretionary power — if the extent to which subsection (1) would, but for this subsection, apply to the taxpayer’s disposition of the interest because of subsection (1.1) does not exceed 10% of the taxpayer’s interest.
Subsection (1) does not apply in respect of a disposition of an interest in a partnership by a taxpayer to a person referred to in paragraph (1.1)(b) if
property of the partnership is used, immediately before and immediately after the acquisition of the interest by the non-resident person, in carrying on business through one or more permanent establishments in Canada; and
the total fair market value of the property referred to in paragraph (a) equals at least 90% of the total fair market value of all property of the partnership.
Subsection (1.5) applies in respect of a taxpayer’s interest in a partnership if
it is reasonable to conclude that one of the purposes of a dilution, reduction or alteration of the interest was to avoid the application of subsection (1) in respect of the interest; and
as part of a transaction or event or series of transactions or events that includes the dilution, reduction or alteration, there is
an acquisition of an interest in the partnership by a person or partnership described in any of paragraphs (1.1)(a) to (d), or
an increase in, or alteration of, an interest in the partnership held by a person or partnership described in any of paragraphs (1.1)(a) to (d).
If this subsection applies in respect of a particular interest in a partnership of a taxpayer, then for the purposes of subsection (1),
the taxpayer is deemed to have disposed of an interest in the partnership at the time of the dilution, reduction or alteration;
the taxpayer is deemed to have a capital gain from the disposition equal to the amount by which the fair market value of the particular interest immediately before the dilution, reduction or alteration exceeds its fair market value immediately thereafter; and
the person or partnership referred to in paragraph (1.4)(b) is deemed to have acquired an interest in the partnership as part of the transaction or event or series of transactions or events that includes the disposition referred to in paragraph (a).
In computing a taxpayer’s gain for a taxation year from the disposition of an interest in a partnership, there shall be included, in addition to the amount thereof determined under subsection 40(1), the amount, if any, by which
the total of all amounts required by subsection 53(2) to be deducted in computing the adjusted cost base to the taxpayer, immediately before the disposition, of the interest in the partnership,
the total of
the cost to the taxpayer of the interest in the partnership determined for the purpose of computing the adjusted cost base to the taxpayer of that interest at that time, and
all amounts required by subsection 53(1) to be added to the cost to the taxpayer of that interest in computing the adjusted cost base to the taxpayer of that interest at that time.
Where, as a result of an amalgamation or merger, an interest in a partnership owned by a predecessor corporation has become property of the new corporation formed as a result of the amalgamation or merger and the predecessor corporation was not related to the new corporation, the predecessor corporation shall be deemed to have disposed of the interest in the partnership to the new corporation immediately before the amalgamation or merger for proceeds of disposition equal to the adjusted cost base to the predecessor corporation of the interest in the partnership at the time of the disposition and the new corporation shall be deemed to have acquired the interest in the partnership from the predecessor corporation immediately after that time at a cost equal to the proceeds of disposition.
Where by virtue of the death of an individual a taxpayer has acquired a property that was an interest in a partnership immediately before the individual’s death (other than an interest to which, immediately before the individual’s death, section 98.1 applied) and the taxpayer is not a member of the partnership and does not become a member of the partnership by reason of that acquisition,
the taxpayer shall be deemed to have acquired a right to receive partnership property and not to have acquired an interest in a partnership;
the taxpayer shall be deemed to have acquired the right referred to in paragraph 100(3)(a) at a cost equal to the amount determined to be the proceeds of disposition of the interest in the partnership to the deceased individual by virtue of paragraph 70(5)(a) or 70(6)(d), as the case may be; and
section 43 is not applicable to the right.
Notwithstanding paragraph 39(1)(b), the capital loss of a taxpayer from the disposition at any time of an interest in a partnership is deemed to be the amount of the loss otherwise determined minus the total of all amounts each of which is the amount by which the taxpayer’s share of the partnership’s loss, in respect of a share of the capital stock of a corporation that was property of a particular partnership at that time, would have been reduced under subsection 112(3.1) if the fiscal period of every partnership that includes that time had ended immediately before that time and the particular partnership had disposed of the share immediately before the end of that fiscal period for proceeds equal to its fair market value at that time.
A taxpayer who pays an amount at any time in a taxation year is deemed to have a capital loss from a disposition of property for the year if
the taxpayer disposed of an interest in a partnership before that time or, because of subsection (3), acquired before that time a right to receive property of a partnership;
that time is after the disposition or acquisition, as the case may be;
the amount would have been described in subparagraph 53(1)(e)(iv) had the taxpayer been a member of the partnership at that time; and
the amount is paid pursuant to a legal obligation of the taxpayer to pay the amount.
Where a taxpayer was a member of a partnership at the end of a taxation year of the partnership in which the partnership disposed of land used in a farming business of the partnership, there may be deducted in computing the taxpayer’s income for the taxpayer’s taxation year in which the taxation year of the partnership ended, 1/2 of the total of all amounts each of which is an amount in respect of that taxation year of the taxpayer or any preceding taxation year of the taxpayer ending after 1971, equal to the taxpayer’s loss, if any, for the year from the farming business, to the extent that the loss
was, by virtue of section 31, not deductible in computing the taxpayer’s income for the year;
was not deducted for the purpose of computing the taxpayer’s taxable income for the taxpayer’s taxation year in which the partnership’s taxation year in which the land was disposed of ended, or for any preceding taxation year of the taxpayer;
did not exceed that proportion of the total of
taxes (other than income or profits taxes or taxes imposed by reference to the transfer of the property) paid by the partnership in its taxation year ending in the year or payable by it in respect of that taxation year to a province or a Canadian municipality in respect of the property, and
interest paid by the partnership in its taxation year ending in the year or payable by it in respect of that taxation year, pursuant to a legal obligation to pay interest on borrowed money used to acquire the property or on any amount as consideration payable for the property,
(to the extent that the taxes and interest were included in computing the loss of the partnership for that taxation year from the farming business), that
the taxpayer’s loss from the farming business for the year
is of
the partnership’s loss from the farming business for its taxation year ending in the year; and
did not exceed the remainder obtained when
the total of each of the taxpayer’s losses from the farming business for taxation years preceding the year (to the extent that those losses are included in computing the amount determined under this section in respect of the taxpayer)
is deducted from
twice the amount of the taxpayer’s taxable capital gain from the disposition of the land.
In this Subdivision, Canadian partnership means a partnership all of the members of which were, at any time in respect of which the expression is relevant, resident in Canada.
In this Subdivision, a reference to a person or a taxpayer who is a member of a particular partnership shall include a reference to another partnership that is a member of the particular partnership.
Where the members of a partnership have agreed to share, in a specified proportion, any income or loss of the partnership from any source or from sources in a particular place, as the case may be, or any other amount in respect of any activity of the partnership that is relevant to the computation of the income or taxable income of any of the members thereof, and the principal reason for the agreement may reasonably be considered to be the reduction or postponement of the tax that might otherwise have been or become payable under this Act, the share of each member of the partnership in the income or loss, as the case may be, or in that other amount, is the amount that is reasonable having regard to all the circumstances including the proportions in which the members have agreed to share profits and losses of the partnership from other sources or from sources in other places.
Where two or more members of a partnership who are not dealing with each other at arm’s length agree to share any income or loss of the partnership or any other amount in respect of any activity of the partnership that is relevant to the computation of the income or taxable income of those members and the share of any such member of that income, loss or other amount is not reasonable in the circumstances having regard to the capital invested in or work performed for the partnership by the members thereof or such other factors as may be relevant, that share shall, notwithstanding any agreement, be deemed to be the amount that is reasonable in the circumstances.
For the purposes of this section, the word losses when used in the expression “profits and losses” means losses determined without reference to other provisions of this Act.
In this Act, a reference to a trust or estate (in this subdivision referred to as a “trust”) shall, unless the context otherwise requires, be read to include a reference to the trustee, executor, administrator, liquidator of a succession, heir or other legal representative having ownership or control of the trust property, but, except for the purposes of this subsection, subsection (1.1), subparagraph (b)(v) of the definition disposition in subsection 248(1) and paragraph (k) of that definition, a trust is deemed not to include an arrangement under which the trust can reasonably be considered to act as agent for all the beneficiaries under the trust with respect to all dealings with all of the trust’s property unless the trust is described in any of paragraphs (a) to (e.1) of the definition trust in subsection 108(1).
Notwithstanding subsection 248(25), for the purposes of subsection (1), paragraph (4)(a.4), subparagraph 73(1.02)(b)(ii) and paragraph 107.4(1)(e), a person or partnership is deemed not to be a beneficiary under a trust at a particular time if the person or partnership is beneficially interested in the trust at the particular time solely because of
a right that may arise as a consequence of the terms of the will or other testamentary instrument of an individual who, at the particular time, is a beneficiary under the trust;
a right that may arise as a consequence of the law governing the intestacy of an individual who, at that time, is a beneficiary under the trust;
a right as a shareholder under the terms of the shares of the capital stock of a corporation that, at the particular time, is a beneficiary under the trust;
a right as a member of a partnership under the terms of the partnership agreement, where, at the particular time, the partnership is a beneficiary under the trust; or
any combination of rights described in paragraphs (a) to (d).
A trust shall, for the purposes of this Act, and without affecting the liability of the trustee or legal representative for that person’s own income tax, be deemed to be in respect of the trust property an individual, but where there is more than one trust and
substantially all of the property of the various trusts has been received from one person, and
the various trusts are conditioned so that the income thereof accrues or will ultimately accrue to the same beneficiary, or group or class of beneficiaries,
Every trust is, at the end of each of the following days, deemed to have disposed of each property of the trust (other than exempt property) that was capital property (other than excluded property or depreciable property) or land included in the inventory of a business of the trust for proceeds equal to its fair market value (determined with reference to subsection 70(5.3)) at the end of that day and to have reacquired the property immediately after that day for an amount equal to that fair market value, and for the purposes of this Act those days are
where the trust
is a trust that was created by the will of a taxpayer who died after 1971 and that, at the time it was created, was a trust,
is a trust that was created by the will of a taxpayer who died after 1971 to which property was transferred in circumstances to which paragraph 70(5.2)(c) (or, in the case of a transfer that occurred in a taxation year before 2007, (b) or (d), as those paragraphs read in their application to that taxation year) or (6)(d) applied, and that, immediately after any such property vested indefeasibly in the trust as a consequence of the death of the taxpayer, was a trust,
is a trust that was created after June 17, 1971 by a taxpayer during the taxpayer’s lifetime that, at any time after 1971, was a trust, or
is a trust (other than a trust the terms of which are described in clause (iv)(A) that elects in its return of income under this Part for its first taxation year that this subparagraph not apply) that was created after 1999 by a taxpayer during the taxpayer’s lifetime and that, at any time after 1999, was a trust
the taxpayer’s spouse or common-law partner was entitled to receive all of the income of the trust that arose before the spouse’s or common-law partner’s death and no person except the spouse or common-law partner could, before the spouse’s or common-law partner’s death, receive or otherwise obtain the use of any of the income or capital of the trust, or
in the case of a trust described in subparagraph (ii.1) created by a taxpayer who had attained 65 years of age at the time the trust was created,
the taxpayer was entitled to receive all of the income of the trust that arose before the taxpayer’s death and no person except the taxpayer could, before the taxpayer’s death, receive or otherwise obtain the use of any of the income or capital of the trust,
the taxpayer or the taxpayer’s spouse was, in combination with the spouse or the taxpayer, as the case may be, entitled to receive all of the income of the trust that arose before the later of the death of the taxpayer and the death of the spouse and no other person could, before the later of those deaths, receive or otherwise obtain the use of any of the income or capital of the trust, or
the taxpayer or the taxpayer’s common-law partner was, in combination with the common-law partner or the taxpayer, as the case may be, entitled to receive all of the income of the trust that arose before the later of the death of the taxpayer and the death of the common-law partner and no other person could, before the later of those deaths, receive or otherwise obtain the use of any of the income or capital of the trust,
where the trust is a pre-1972 spousal trust on January 1, 1993 and the spouse or common-law partner referred to in the definition pre-1972 spousal trust in subsection 108(1) in respect of the trust was
in the case of a trust created by the will of a taxpayer, alive on January 1, 1976, and
in the case of a trust created by a taxpayer during the taxpayer’s lifetime, alive on May 26, 1976,
the day on which that spouse or common-law partner dies, and
January 1, 1993;
where the trust makes a distribution to a beneficiary in respect of the beneficiary’s capital interest in the trust, it is reasonable to conclude that the distribution was financed by a liability of the trust and one of the purposes of incurring the liability was to avoid taxes otherwise payable under this Part as a consequence of the death of any individual, the day on which the distribution is made (determined as if a day ends for the trust immediately after the time at which each distribution is made by the trust to a beneficiary in respect of the beneficiary’s capital interest in the trust);
where property (other than property described in any of subparagraphs 128.1(4)(b)(i) to (iii)) has been transferred by a taxpayer after December 17, 1999 to the trust in circumstances to which subsection 73(1) applied, it is reasonable to conclude that the property was so transferred in anticipation that the taxpayer would subsequently cease to reside in Canada and the taxpayer subsequently ceases to reside in Canada, the first day after that transfer during which the taxpayer ceases to reside in Canada (determined as if a day ends for the trust immediately after each time at which the taxpayer ceases to be resident in Canada);
where the trust is a trust to which property was transferred by a taxpayer who is an individual (other than a trust) in circumstances in which section 73 or subsection 107.4(3) applied, the transfer did not result in a change in beneficial ownership of that property and no person (other than the taxpayer) or partnership has any absolute or contingent right as a beneficiary under the trust (determined with reference to subsection (1.1)), the day on which the death of the taxpayer occurs;
the day that is 21 years after the latest of
January 1, 1972,
the day on which the trust was created, and
where applicable, the day determined under paragraph (a), (a.1) or (a.4) as those paragraphs applied from time to time after 1971; and
the day that is 21 years after any day (other than a day determined under any of paragraphs (a) to (a.4)) that is, because of this subsection, a day on which the trust is deemed to have disposed of each such property.
Every trust is, at the end of each day determined under subsection (4) in respect of the trust, deemed to have disposed of each property of the trust (other than exempt property) that was a depreciable property of a prescribed class of the trust for proceeds equal to its fair market value at the end of that day and to have reacquired the property immediately after that day at a capital cost (in this subsection referred to as the “deemed capital cost”) equal to that fair market value, except that
where the amount that was the capital cost to the trust of the property immediately before the end of the day (in this paragraph referred to as the “actual capital cost”) exceeds the deemed capital cost to the trust of the property, for the purpose of sections 13 and 20 and any regulations made for the purpose of paragraph 20(1)(a) as they apply in respect of the property at any subsequent time,
the capital cost to the trust of the property on its reacquisition shall be deemed to be the amount that was the actual capital cost to the trust of the property, and
the excess shall be deemed to have been allowed under paragraph 20(1)(a) to the trust in respect of the property in computing its income for taxation years that ended before the trust reacquired the property;
for the purposes of this subsection, the reference to “at the end of a taxation year” in subsection 13(1) shall be read as a reference to “at the particular time a trust is deemed by subsection 104(5) to have disposed of depreciable property of a prescribed class”; and
for the purpose of computing the excess, if any, referred to in subsection 13(1) at the end of the taxation year of a trust that included a day on which the trust is deemed by this subsection to have disposed of a depreciable property of a prescribed class, any amount that, on that day, was included in the trust’s income for the year under subsection 13(1) as it reads because of paragraph 104(5)(b), shall be deemed to be an amount included under section 13 in the trust’s income for a preceding taxation year.
Every trust that holds an interest in a NISA Fund No. 2 that was transferred to it in circumstances to which paragraph 70(6.1)(b) applied shall be deemed, at the end of the day on which the spouse or common-law partner referred to in that paragraph dies (in this subsection referred to as the “spouse or common-law partner”), to have been paid an amount out of the fund equal to the amount, if any, by which
such portion of the amount described in paragraph 104(5.1)(a) as is deemed by subsection 104(14.1) to have been paid to the spouse or common-law partner.
the balance at the end of that day in the fund so transferred
Where at the end of a day determined under subsection (4) in respect of a trust, the trust owns a Canadian resource property (other than an exempt property) or a foreign resource property (other than an exempt property),

[Repealed, 2013, c. 34, s. 231]
For the purposes of this subsection, subsection (22.1) and section 126, an amount in respect of a trust’s income for a particular taxation year of the trust from a source in a country other than Canada is deemed to be income of a taxpayer, for the taxation year of the taxpayer in which the particular taxation year ends, from that source if
the amount
is designated by the trust, in respect of the taxpayer, in the trust’s return of income under this Part for the particular taxation year, and
may reasonably be considered (having regard to all the circumstances including the terms and conditions of the trust) to be part of the amount that, because of paragraph (13)(a) or subsection (14), was included in computing the income for that taxation year of the taxpayer;
the taxpayer is in the particular taxation year a beneficiary under the trust;
the trust is, throughout the particular taxation year, resident in Canada; and
the total of all amounts each of which is an amount designated, under this subsection in respect of that source, by the trust in respect of a beneficiary under the trust in the trust’s return of income under this Part for the particular taxation year is not greater than the trust’s income for the particular taxation year from that source.
Where a taxpayer is a beneficiary under a trust, for the purposes of this subsection and section 126, the taxpayer shall be deemed to have paid as business-income tax or non-business-income tax, as the case may be, for a particular taxation year in respect of a source the amount determined by the formula A × B/C where A is the amount that, but for subsection 104(22.3), would be the business-income tax or non-business-income tax, as the case may be, paid by the trust in respect of the source for a taxation year (in this subsection referred to as “that year”) of the trust that ends in the particular year; B is the amount deemed, because of a designation under subsection 104(22) for that year by the trust, to be the taxpayer’s income from the source; and C is the trust’s income for that year from the source.
For the purpose of section 126, there shall be deducted in computing a trust’s income from a source for a taxation year the total of all amounts deemed, because of designations under subsection 104(22) by the trust for the year, to be income of beneficiaries under the trust from that source.
For the purpose of section 126, there shall be deducted in computing the business-income tax or non-business-income tax paid by a trust for a taxation year in respect of a source the total of all amounts deemed, because of designations under subsection 104(22) by the trust for the year, to be paid by beneficiaries under the trust as business-income tax or non-business-income tax, as the case may be, in respect of the source.
For the purposes of subsections 104(22) to 104(22.3), the expressions business-income tax and non-business-income tax have the meanings assigned by subsection 126(7).
In the case of a testamentary trust, notwithstanding any other provision of this Act, the following rules apply:
[Repealed, 2013, c. 34, s. 231]
the income of a person for a taxation year from the trust shall be deemed to be the person’s benefits from or under the trust for the taxation year or years of the trust that ended in the year determined as provided by this section and section 105;
where an individual having income from the trust died after the end of a taxation year of the trust but before the end of the calendar year in which the taxation year ended, the individual’s income from the trust for the period commencing immediately after the end of the taxation year and ending at the time of death shall be included in computing the individual’s income for the individual’s taxation year in which the individual died unless the individual’s legal representative has elected otherwise, in which case the legal representative shall file a separate return of income for the period under this Part and pay the tax for the period under this Part as if
the individual were another person,
the period were a taxation year,
that other person’s only income for the period were the individual’s income from the trust for that period, and
subject to sections 114.2 and 118.93, that other person were entitled to the deductions to which the individual was entitled under sections 110, 118 to 118.7 and 118.9 for the period in computing the individual’s taxable income or tax payable under this Part, as the case may be, for the period; and
in lieu of making the payments required by sections 155, 156 and 156.1, the trust shall pay to the Receiver General within 90 days after the end of each taxation year, the tax payable under this Part by it for the year.
For the purposes of subsections (6), (7), (7.01), (13), (16) and (20), subparagraph 53(2)(h)(i.1) and subsections 94(5.2) and (8), an amount is deemed not to have become payable to a beneficiary in a taxation year unless it was paid in the year to the beneficiary or the beneficiary was entitled in the year to enforce payment of it.
Where a testamentary trust has, in a taxation year throughout which it was resident in Canada, received a superannuation or pension benefit or a benefit out of or under a foreign retirement arrangement and has designated, in the return of its income for the year under this Part, an amount in respect of a beneficiary under the trust equal to such portion (in this subsection referred to as the “beneficiary’s share”) of the benefit as
may reasonably be considered (having regard to all the circumstances including the terms and conditions of the trust arrangement) to be part of the amount that, by reason of subsection 104(13), was included in computing the income for a particular taxation year of the beneficiary, and
was not designated by the trust in respect of any other beneficiary under the trust,
where
the benefit is an amount described in subparagraph (a)(i) of the definition pension income in subsection 118(7), and
the beneficiary was a spouse or common-law partner of the settlor of the trust,
where the benefit
is a single amount (within the meaning assigned by subsection 147.1(1)), other than an amount that relates to an actuarial surplus, paid by a registered pension plan to the trust as a consequence of the death of the settlor of the trust who was, at the time of death, a spouse or common-law partner of the beneficiary, or
would be an amount included in the total determined under paragraph 60(j) in respect of the beneficiary for the taxation year of the beneficiary in which the benefit was received by the trust if the benefit had been received by the beneficiary at the time it was received by the trust,
where the benefit is a single amount (within the meaning assigned by subsection 147.1(1)) paid by a registered pension plan to the trust as a consequence of the death of the settlor of the trust,
if the beneficiary was, immediately before the settlor’s death, a child or grandchild of the settlor who, because of mental or physical infirmity, was financially dependent on the settlor for support, the beneficiary’s share of the benefit (other than any portion of it that relates to an actuarial surplus) is deemed, for the purposes of paragraph 60(l), to be an amount from a registered pension plan included in computing the beneficiary’s income for the particular year as a payment described in clause 60(l)(v)(B.01), and
if the beneficiary was, at the time of the settlor’s death, under 18 years of age and a child or grandchild of the settlor, the beneficiary’s share of the benefit (other than any portion of it that relates to an actuarial surplus) is deemed, for the purposes of paragraph 60(l), to be an amount from a registered pension plan included in computing the beneficiary’s income for the particular year as a payment described in subclause 60(l)(v)(B.1)(II).
Where
a testamentary trust has received in a taxation year (in this subsection referred to as the “trust year”) throughout which it was resident in Canada an amount from a deferred profit sharing plan as a consequence of the death of the settlor of the trust,
the settlor was an employee of an employer who participated in the plan on behalf of the settlor, and
the amount is not part of a series of periodic payments,
is included under subsection 147(10) in computing the income of the trust for the trust year,
can reasonably be considered (having regard to all the circumstances including the terms and conditions of the trust arrangement) to be part of the amount that was included under subsection 104(13) in computing the income for a particular taxation year of a beneficiary under the trust who was, at the time of the settlor’s death, a spouse or common-law partner of the settlor, and
is designated by the trust in respect of the beneficiary in the trust’s return of income under this Part for the trust year
Such portion of any amount received by a testamentary trust in a taxation year on or after the death of an employee in recognition of the employee’s service in an office or employment as may reasonably be considered (having regard to all the circumstances including the terms and conditions of the trust arrangement) to be paid or payable at a particular time to a particular beneficiary under the trust shall be deemed to be an amount received by the particular beneficiary at the particular time on or after the death of the employee in recognition of the employee’s service in an office or employment and not to have been received by the trust.
[Repealed, 2003, c. 28, s. 11(2)]
For the purposes of this Part, there shall be deducted in computing the income of a trust for a taxation year the tax paid by the trust for the year under Part XII.2.
The amount in respect of a taxation year of a trust that is deemed under subsection 210.2(3) to have been paid by a beneficiary under the trust on account of the beneficiary’s tax under this Part shall, for the purposes of subsection 104(13), be deemed to be an amount in respect of the income of the trust for the year that has become payable by the trust to the beneficiary at the end of the year.
The value of all benefits to a taxpayer during a taxation year from or under a trust, irrespective of when created, shall, subject to subsection 105(2), be included in computing the taxpayer’s income for the year except to the extent that the value
is otherwise required to be included in computing the taxpayer’s income for a taxation year; or
has been deducted under paragraph 53(2)(h) in computing the adjusted cost base of the taxpayer’s interest in the trust or would be so deducted if that paragraph
applied in respect of the taxpayer’s interest in the trust, and
were read without reference to clause 53(2)(h)(i.1)(B).
Such part of an amount paid by a trust out of income of the trust for the upkeep, maintenance or taxes of or in respect of property that, under the terms of the trust arrangement, is required to be maintained for the use of a tenant for life or a beneficiary as is reasonable in the circumstances shall be included in computing the income of the tenant for life or other beneficiary from the trust for the taxation year for which it was paid.
Where an amount in respect of a taxpayer’s income interest in a trust has been included in computing the taxpayer’s income for a taxation year by reason of subsection 106(2) or 104(13), except to the extent that an amount in respect of that income interest has been deducted in computing the taxpayer’s taxable income pursuant to subsection 112(1) or 138(6), there may be deducted in computing the taxpayer’s income for the year the lesser of
the amount so included in computing the taxpayer’s income for the year, and
the amount, if any, by which the cost to the taxpayer of the income interest exceeds the total of all amounts in respect of the interest that were deductible under this subsection in computing the taxpayer’s income for previous taxation years.
The cost to a taxpayer of an income interest of the taxpayer in a trust is deemed to be nil unless
any part of the interest was acquired by the taxpayer from a person who was the beneficiary in respect of the interest immediately before that acquisition; or
the cost of any part of the interest would otherwise be determined not to be nil under paragraph 128.1(1)(c) or (4)(c).
Where in a taxation year a taxpayer disposes of an income interest in a trust,
except where subsection (3) applies to the disposition, there shall be included in computing the taxpayer’s income for the year the amount, if any, by which
the proceeds of disposition
exceed
where that interest includes a right to enforce payment of an amount by the trust, the amount in respect of that right that has been included in computing the taxpayer’s income for a taxation year because of subsection 104(13);
any taxable capital gain or allowable capital loss of the taxpayer from the disposition shall be deemed to be nil; and
for greater certainty, the cost to the taxpayer of each property received by the taxpayer as consideration for the disposition is the fair market value of the property at the time of the disposition.
For greater certainty, where at any time any property of a trust has been distributed by the trust to a taxpayer who was a beneficiary under the trust in satisfaction of all or any part of the taxpayer’s income interest in the trust, the trust shall be deemed to have disposed of the property for proceeds of disposition equal to the fair market value of the property at that time.
Where a taxpayer has disposed of all or any part of the taxpayer’s capital interest in a trust,
where the trust is a personal trust or a prescribed trust, for the purpose of computing the taxpayer’s capital gain, if any, from the disposition, the adjusted cost base to the taxpayer of the interest or the part of the interest, as the case may be, immediately before the disposition is, unless any part of the interest has ever been acquired for consideration and, at the time of the disposition, the trust is non-resident, deemed to be the greater of
its adjusted cost base, otherwise determined, to the taxpayer immediately before the disposition, and
the amount, if any, by which exceeds
its cost amount to the taxpayer immediately before the disposition
the total of all amounts deducted under paragraph 53(2)(g.1) in computing its adjusted cost base to the taxpayer immediately before the disposition;
[Repealed, 2001, c. 17, s. 80(2)]
where the taxpayer is not a mutual fund trust, the taxpayer’s loss from the disposition is deemed to be the amount, if any, by which the amount of that loss otherwise determined exceeds the amount, if any, by which
the total of all amounts each of which was received or would, but for subsection 104(19), have been received by the trust on a share of the capital stock of a corporation before the disposition (and, where the trust is a unit trust, after 1987) and
where the taxpayer is a corporation,
was a taxable dividend designated under subsection 104(19) by the trust in respect of the taxpayer, to the extent of the amount of the dividend that was deductible under section 112 or subsection 115(1) or 138(6) in computing the taxpayer’s taxable income or taxable income earned in Canada for any taxation year, or
was an amount designated under subsection 104(20) by the trust in respect of the taxpayer,
where the taxpayer is another trust, was an amount designated under subsection 104(19) or 104(20) by the trust in respect of the taxpayer, and
where the taxpayer is not a corporation, trust or partnership, was an amount designated under subsection 104(20) by the trust in respect of the taxpayer
the portion of the total determined under subparagraph 107(1)(c)(i) that can reasonably be considered to have resulted in a reduction, under this paragraph, of the taxpayer’s loss otherwise determined from a previous disposition of an interest in the trust;
where the taxpayer is a partnership, the share of a person (other than another partnership or a mutual fund trust) of any loss of the partnership from the disposition is deemed to be the amount, if any, by which that loss otherwise determined exceeds the amount, if any, by which
the total of all amounts each of which is a dividend that was received or would, but for subsection 104(19), have been received by the trust on a share of the capital stock of a corporation before the disposition (and, where the trust is a unit trust, after 1987) and exceeds
where the person is a corporation,
was a taxable dividend that was designated under subsection 104(19) by the trust in respect of the taxpayer, to the extent of the amount of the dividend that was deductible under section 112 or subsection 115(1) or 138(6) in computing the person’s taxable income or taxable income earned in Canada for any taxation year, or
was a dividend designated under subsection 104(20) by the trust in respect of the taxpayer and was an amount received by the person,
where the person is an individual other than a trust, was a dividend designated under subsection 104(20) by the trust in respect of the taxpayer and was an amount received by the person, and
where the person is another trust, was a dividend designated under subsection 104(19) or 104(20) by the trust in respect of the taxpayer and was an amount received by the person (or that would have been received by the person if this Act were read without reference to subsection 104(19)),
the portion of the total determined under subparagraph 107(1)(d)(i) that can reasonably be considered to have resulted in a reduction, under this paragraph, of the person’s loss otherwise determined from a previous disposition of an interest in the trust; and
if the capital interest is not a capital property of the taxpayer, notwithstanding the definition cost amount in subsection 108(1), its cost amount is deemed to be the amount, if any, by which
the amount that would, if this Act were read without reference to this paragraph and the definition cost amount in subsection 108(1), be its cost amount
the total of all amounts, each of which is an amount in respect of the capital interest that has become payable to the taxpayer before the disposition and that would be described in subparagraph 53(2)(h)(i.1) if that subparagraph were read without reference to its subclause (B)(I).
The cost to a taxpayer of a capital interest of the taxpayer in a personal trust or a prescribed trust is deemed to be,
where the taxpayer elected under subsection 110.6(19) in respect of the interest and the trust does not elect under that subsection in respect of any property of the trust, the taxpayer’s cost of the interest determined under paragraph 110.6(19)(a); and
in any other case, nil, unless
any part of the interest was acquired by the taxpayer from a person who was the beneficiary in respect of the interest immediately before that acquisition, or
the cost of any part of the interest would otherwise be determined not to be nil under section 48 as it read in its application before 1993 or under paragraph 111(4)(e) or 128.1(1)(c) or (4)(c).
For the purpose of section 10, the fair market value at any time of a capital interest in a trust is deemed to be equal to the amount that is the total of
the amount that would, if this Act were read without reference to this subsection, be its fair market value at that time, and
the total of all amounts, each of which is an amount that would be described, in respect of the capital interest, in subparagraph 53(2)(h)(i.1) if that subparagraph were read without reference to its subclause (B)(I), that has become payable to the taxpayer before that time.
Subject to subsections (2.001), (2.002) and (4) to (5), if at any time a property of a personal trust or a prescribed trust is distributed (otherwise than as a SIFT trust wind-up event) by the trust to a taxpayer who was a beneficiary under the trust and there is a resulting disposition of all or any part of the taxpayer’s capital interest in the trust,
the trust shall be deemed to have disposed of the property for proceeds of disposition equal to its cost amount to the trust immediately before that time;
subject to subsection (2.2), the taxpayer is deemed to have acquired the property at a cost equal to the total of its cost amount to the trust immediately before that time and the specified percentage of the amount, if any, by which
the adjusted cost base to the taxpayer of the capital interest or part of it, as the case may be, immediately before that time (determined without reference to paragraph (1)(a))
the cost amount to the taxpayer of the capital interest or part of it, as the case may be, immediately before that time;
for the purpose of paragraph (b), the specified percentage is,
where the property is capital property (other than depreciable property), 100%,
where the property is eligible capital property in respect of a business of the trust, 100%, and
in any other case, 50%;
the taxpayer’s proceeds of disposition of the capital interest in the trust (or of the part of it) disposed of by the taxpayer on the distribution are deemed to be equal to the amount, if any, by which
the cost at which the taxpayer would be deemed by paragraph (b) to have acquired the property if the specified percentage referred to in that paragraph were 100%
the total of all amounts each of which is an eligible offset at that time of the taxpayer in respect of the capital interest or the part of it;
where the property so distributed was depreciable property of a prescribed class of the trust and the amount that was the capital cost to the trust of that property exceeds the cost at which the taxpayer is deemed by this section to have acquired the property, for the purposes of sections 13 and 20 and any regulations made under paragraph 20(1)(a)
the capital cost to the taxpayer of the property shall be deemed to be the amount that was the capital cost of the property to the trust, and
the excess shall be deemed to have been allowed to the taxpayer in respect of the property under regulations made under paragraph 20(1)(a) in computing income for taxation years before the acquisition by the taxpayer of the property;
[Repealed, 2010, c. 12, s. 10]
[Repealed, 1994, c. 7, Sch. VIII, s. 43(1)]
where the property so distributed was eligible capital property of the trust in respect of a business of the trust,
for the purpose of determining after that time the amount required by paragraph 14(1)(b) to be included in computing the taxpayer’s income in respect of any subsequent disposition of property of the business, there shall be added to the value otherwise determined for Q in the definition cumulative eligible capital in subsection 14(5) the amount determined by the formula A × B/C where A is the amount, if any, determined for Q in that definition in respect of the business of the trust immediately before the distribution, B is the fair market value of the property so distributed immediately before the distribution, and C is the fair market value immediately before the distribution of all eligible capital property of the trust in respect of the business.
after the adjustment time of the taxpayer in respect of the business, and
before the acquisition by the taxpayer of the property, and
3/4 of the excess shall be deemed to have been allowed under paragraph 20(1)(b) to the taxpayer in respect of the property in computing income for taxation years ending
the eligible capital expenditure of the taxpayer in respect of the property shall be deemed to be the amount that was the eligible capital expenditure of the trust in respect of the property, and
where the eligible capital expenditure of the trust in respect of the property exceeds the cost at which the taxpayer is deemed by this subsection to have acquired the property, for the purposes of sections 14, 20 and 24,
Where a trust makes a distribution of a property to a beneficiary of the trust in full or partial satisfaction of the beneficiary’s capital interest in the trust and so elects in prescribed form filed with the Minister with the trust’s return of income for its taxation year in which the distribution occurred, subsection (2) does not apply to the distribution if
the trust is resident in Canada at the time of the distribution;
the property is taxable Canadian property; or
the property is capital property used in, eligible capital property in respect of, or property described in the inventory of, a business carried on by the trust through a permanent establishment (as defined by regulation) in Canada immediately before the time of the distribution.
Where a non-resident trust makes a distribution of a property (other than a property described in paragraph (2.001)(b) or (c)) to a beneficiary of the trust in full or partial satisfaction of the beneficiary’s capital interest in the trust and the beneficiary makes an election under this subsection in prescribed form filed with the Minister with the beneficiary’s return of income for the beneficiary’s taxation year in which the distribution occurred,
subsection (2) does not apply to the distribution; and
for the purpose of subparagraph (1)(a)(ii), the cost amount of the interest to the beneficiary is deemed to be nil.
Where property that would, if a personal trust had designated the property under paragraph (c.1) of the definition principal residence in section 54, be a principal residence (within the meaning of that definition) of the trust for a taxation year, is at any time (in this subsection referred to as “that time”) distributed by the trust to a taxpayer in circumstances in which subsection (2) applies and the trust so elects in its return of income for the taxation year that includes that time,
the trust shall be deemed to have disposed of the property immediately before the particular time that is immediately before that time for proceeds of disposition equal to the fair market value of the property at that time; and
the trust shall be deemed to have reacquired the property at the particular time at a cost equal to that fair market value.
Where at any time a property of a trust is distributed by the trust to a beneficiary under the trust, there would, if this Act were read without reference to paragraphs (h) and (i) of the definition disposition in subsection 248(1), be a resulting disposition of all or any part of the beneficiary’s capital interest in the trust (which interest or part, as the case may be, is in this subsection referred to as the “former interest”) and the rules in subsections (2) and (3.1) and sections 88.1 and 132.2 do not apply in respect of the distribution,
the trust is deemed to have disposed of the property for proceeds equal to its fair market value at that time;
the beneficiary is deemed to have acquired the property at a cost equal to the proceeds determined under paragraph (a);
subject to paragraph (e), the beneficiary’s proceeds of disposition of the portion of the former interest disposed of by the beneficiary on the distribution are deemed to be equal to the amount, if any, by which
the proceeds determined under paragraph (a) (other than the portion, if any, of the proceeds that is a payment to which paragraph (h) or (i) of the definition disposition in subsection 248(1) applies)
where the property is not a Canadian resource property or foreign resource property, the amount, if any, by which exceeds the total of
the fair market value of the property at that time
the cost amount to the trust of the property immediately before that time, and
the portion, if any, of the excess that would be determined under this subparagraph if this subparagraph were read without reference to this clause that represents a payment to which paragraph (h) or (i) of the definition disposition in subsection 248(1) applies, and
all amounts each of which is an eligible offset at that time of the taxpayer in respect of the former interest;
notwithstanding paragraphs (a) to (c), where the trust is non-resident at that time, the property is not described in paragraph (2.001)(b) or (c) and, if this Act were read without reference to this paragraph, there would be no income, loss, taxable capital gain or allowable capital loss of a taxpayer in respect of the property because of the application of subsection 75(2) to the disposition at that time of the property,
the trust is deemed to have disposed of the property for proceeds equal to the cost amount of the property,
the beneficiary is deemed to have acquired the property at a cost equal to the fair market value of the property, and
the beneficiary’s proceeds of disposition of the portion of the former interest disposed of by the beneficiary on the distribution are deemed to be equal to the amount, if any, by which exceeds the total of
the fair market value of the property
the portion, if any, of the amount of the distribution that is a payment to which paragraph (h) or (i) of the definition disposition in subsection 248(1) applies, and
all amounts each of which is an eligible offset at that time of the taxpayer in respect of the former interest; and
where the trust is a mutual fund trust, the distribution occurs in a taxation year of the trust before its 2003 taxation year, the trust has elected under subsection (2.11) in respect of the year and the trust so elects in respect of the distribution in prescribed form filed with the trust’s return of income for the year,
this subsection shall be read without reference to paragraph (c), and
the beneficiary’s proceeds of disposition of the portion of the former interest disposed of by the beneficiary on the distribution are deemed to be equal to the amount determined under paragraph (a).
If a trust that is resident in Canada for a taxation year makes in the taxation year one or more distributions to which subsection (2.1) applies and the trust elects in prescribed form filed with the trust’s return for the year or a preceding taxation year to have one of the following paragraphs apply, the income of the trust for the year (determined without reference to subsection 104(6)) shall, for the purposes of subsections 104(6) and (13), be computed without regard
if the election is to have this paragraph apply, to all of those distributions (other than distributions of cash denominated in Canadian dollars) to non-resident persons (including a partnership other than a Canadian partnership); and
if the election is to have this paragraph apply, to all of those distributions (other than distributions of cash denominated in Canadian dollars).
An election made under subsection (2.11) by a mutual fund trust is deemed, for the trust’s 2003 and subsequent taxation years, not to have been made if
the election is made after December 20, 2000 and applies to any taxation year that ends before 2003; and
the proceeds of disposition of a beneficiary’s interest in the trust have been determined under paragraph (2.1)(e).
Where at any time before 2005 a beneficiary under a trust described in paragraph (h), (i) or (j) of the definition flow-through entity in subsection 39.1(1) received a distribution of property from the trust in satisfaction of all or a portion of the beneficiary’s interests in the trust and the beneficiary files with the Minister on or before the beneficiary’s filing-due date for the taxation year that includes that time an election in respect of the property in prescribed form, there shall be included in the cost to the beneficiary of a particular property (other than money) received by the beneficiary as part of the distribution of property the least of
the amount, if any, by which the beneficiary’s exempt capital gains balance (as defined in subsection 39.1(1)) in respect of the trust for the beneficiary’s taxation year that includes that time exceeds the total of all amounts each of which is
an amount by which a capital gain is reduced under section 39.1 in the year because of the beneficiary’s exempt capital gains balance in respect of the trust,
twice an amount by which a taxable capital gain is reduced under section 39.1 in the year because of the beneficiary’s exempt capital gains balance in respect of the trust, or
an amount included in the cost to the beneficiary of another property received by the beneficiary at or before that time in the year because of this subsection,
the amount by which the fair market value of the particular property at that time exceeds the adjusted cost base to the trust of the particular property immediately before that time, and
the amount designated in respect of the particular property in the election.
Subsection (3.1) applies to a trust’s distribution of property to a taxpayer if
the distribution is a SIFT trust wind-up event to which section 88.1 does not apply;
the property is a share and the only shares distributed on any SIFT trust wind-up event of the trust are of a single class of the capital stock of a taxable Canadian corporation; and
where the trust is a SIFT wind-up entity, the distribution occurs no more than 60 days after the earlier of
the first SIFT trust wind-up event of the trust, and
the first distribution to the trust that is a SIFT trust wind-up event of another trust.
If this subsection applies to a trust’s distribution of property, the following rules apply:
the trust is deemed to have disposed of the property for proceeds of disposition equal to the adjusted cost base to the trust of the property immediately before the distribution;
the taxpayer is deemed to have disposed of the taxpayer’s interest as a beneficiary under the trust for proceeds of disposition equal to the cost amount to the taxpayer of the interest immediately before the distribution;
the taxpayer is deemed to have acquired the property at a cost equal to
if, at all times at which the trust makes a distribution that is a SIFT trust wind-up event, the taxpayer is the only beneficiary under the trust and is a SIFT wind-up entity or a taxable Canadian corporation, the adjusted cost base to the trust of the property immediately before the distribution, and
in any other case, the cost amount to the taxpayer of the taxpayer’s interest as a beneficiary under the trust immediately before the distribution;
if the taxpayer’s interest as a beneficiary under the trust was immediately before the disposition taxable Canadian property of the taxpayer, the property is deemed to be, at any time that is within 60 months after the distribution, taxable Canadian property of the taxpayer; and
if a liability of the trust becomes as a consequence of the distribution a liability of the corporation described in paragraph (3)(b) in respect of the distribution, and the amount payable by the corporation on the maturity of the liability is the same as the amount that would have been payable by the trust on its maturity,
the transfer of the liability by the trust to the corporation is deemed not to have occurred, and
the liability is deemed
to have been incurred or issued by the corporation at the time at which, and under the agreement under which, it was incurred or issued by the trust, and
not to have been incurred or issued by the trust.
Subsection (2.1) applies (and subsection (2) does not apply) at any time to property distributed to a beneficiary by a trust described in paragraph 104(4)(a) where
the beneficiary is not
in the case of a post-1971 spousal or common-law partner trust, the spouse or common-law partner referred to in paragraph 104(4)(a),
in the case of an alter ego trust, the taxpayer referred to in paragraph 104(4)(a), and
in the case of a joint spousal or common-law partner trust, the taxpayer, spouse or common-law partner referred to in paragraph 104(4)(a); and
the distribution of the property occurs on or before the earlier of
a reacquisition, in respect of any property of the trust, that occurs immediately after the day described by paragraph 104(4)(a), and
the cessation of the trust’s existence.
Subsection (2.1) applies (and subsection (2) does not apply) in respect of a distribution of any property of a particular personal trust or prescribed trust by the particular trust to a taxpayer who was a beneficiary under the particular trust where
the distribution was in satisfaction of all or any part of the taxpayer’s capital interest in the particular trust;
subsection 75(2) was applicable (determined without its reference to “while the person is resident in Canada” and as if subsection 75(3) as it read before March 21, 2013 were read without reference to its paragraph (c.2)), or subsection 94(8.2) was applicable (determined without reference to paragraph 94(8.1)(a)), at a particular time in respect of any property of
the particular trust, or
a trust the property of which included a property that, through one or more dispositions to which subsection 107.4(3) applied, became a property of the particular trust, and the property was not, at any time after the particular time and before the distribution, the subject of a disposition for proceeds of disposition equal to the fair market value of the property at the time of the disposition;
the taxpayer was neither
the person (other than a trust described in subparagraph (b)(ii)) from whom the particular trust directly or indirectly received the property, or property for which the property was substituted, nor
an individual in respect of whom subsection 73(1) would be applicable on the transfer of capital property from the person described in subparagraph (i); and
the person described in subparagraph (c)(i) was in existence at the time the property was distributed.
Subsection (2.1) applies (and subsection (2) does not apply) at any time to property distributed after December 20, 2002 to a beneficiary by a personal trust or a trust prescribed for the purpose of subsection (2), if
at a particular time before December 21, 2002 there was a qualifying disposition (within the meaning assigned by subsection 107.4(1)) of the property, or of other property for which the property is substituted, by a particular partnership or a particular corporation, as the case may be, to a trust; and
the beneficiary is neither the particular partnership nor the particular corporation.
Subsection (2.1) applies (and subsection (2) does not apply) in respect of a distribution of a property (other than a share of the capital stock of a non-resident-owned investment corporation or property described in any of subparagraphs 128.1(4)(b)(i) to (iii)) by a trust to a non-resident taxpayer (including a partnership other than a Canadian partnership) in satisfaction of all or part of the taxpayer’s capital interest in the trust.
If, solely because of the application of subsection (5), paragraphs (2)(a) to (c) do not apply to a distribution in a taxation year of taxable Canadian property by a trust, in applying sections 155 and 156 and subsections 156.1(1) to (3) and 161(2), (4) and (4.01) and any regulations made for the purposes of those provisions, the trust’s tax payable under this Part for the year is deemed to be the lesser of
the trust’s tax payable under this Part for the year, determined before taking into consideration the specified future tax consequences for the year, and
the amount that would be determined under paragraph (a) if subsection (5) did not apply to each distribution in the year of taxable Canadian property to which the rules in subsection (2) do not apply solely because of the application of subsection (5).
Notwithstanding any other provision of this Act, where a person or partnership (in this subsection referred to as the “vendor”) has disposed of property and would, but for this subsection, have had a loss from the disposition, the vendor’s loss otherwise determined in respect of the disposition shall be reduced by such portion of that loss as may reasonably be considered to have accrued during a period in which
the property or property for which it was substituted was held by a trust; and
either
the trust was non-resident and the property (or property for which it was substituted) was not taxable Canadian property of the trust, or
neither the vendor — nor a person that would, if section 251.1 were read without reference to the definition controlled in subsection 251.1(3), be affiliated with the vendor — had a capital interest in the trust.
If at any time any property of an employee life and health trust, an employee trust, a trust governed by an employee benefit plan or a trust described in paragraph (a.1) of the definition trust in subsection 108(1) has been distributed by the trust to a taxpayer who was a beneficiary under the trust in satisfaction of all or any part of the taxpayer’s interest in the trust, the following rules apply:
in the case of an employee life and health trust, an employee trust or a trust described in paragraph (a.1) of the definition trust in subsection 108(1),
the trust shall be deemed to have disposed of the property immediately before that time for proceeds of disposition equal to its fair market value at that time, and
the taxpayer shall be deemed to have acquired the property at a cost equal to its fair market value at that time;
in the case of a trust governed by an employee benefit plan,
the trust shall be deemed to have disposed of the property for proceeds of disposition equal to its cost amount to the trust immediately before that time, and
the taxpayer shall be deemed to have acquired the property at a cost equal to the greater of
its fair market value at that time, and
the adjusted cost base to the taxpayer of the taxpayer’s interest or part thereof, as the case may be, immediately before that time;
the taxpayer shall be deemed to have disposed of the taxpayer’s interest or part thereof, as the case may be, for proceeds of disposition equal to the adjusted cost base to the taxpayer of that interest or part thereof immediately before that time; and
where the property was depreciable property of a prescribed class of the trust and the amount that was the capital cost to the trust of that property exceeds the cost at which the taxpayer is deemed by this section to have acquired the property, for the purposes of sections 13 and 20 and any regulations made under paragraph 20(1)(a),
the capital cost to the taxpayer of the property shall be deemed to be the amount that was the capital cost of the property to the trust, and
the excess shall be deemed to have been allowed to the taxpayer in respect of the property under regulations made under paragraph 20(1)(a) in computing income for taxation years before the acquisition by the taxpayer of the property.
Where, at any time, any property of a trust governed by a retirement compensation arrangement has been distributed by the trust to a taxpayer who was a beneficiary under the trust in satisfaction of all or any part of the taxpayer’s interest in the trust, for the purposes of this Part and Part XI.3, the following rules apply:
the trust shall be deemed to have disposed of the property for proceeds of disposition equal to its fair market value at that time;
the trust shall be deemed to have paid to the taxpayer as a distribution an amount equal to that fair market value;
the taxpayer shall be deemed to have acquired the property at a cost equal to that fair market value;
the taxpayer shall be deemed to have disposed of the taxpayer’s interest or part thereof, as the case may be, for proceeds of disposition equal to the adjusted cost base to the taxpayer of that interest or part thereof immediately before that time; and
where the property was depreciable property of a prescribed class of the trust and the amount that was the capital cost to the trust of that property exceeds the cost at which the taxpayer is deemed by this section to have acquired the property, for the purposes of sections 13 and 20 and any regulations made under paragraph 20(1)(a),
the capital cost to the taxpayer of the property shall be deemed to be the amount that was the capital cost of the property to the trust, and
the excess shall be deemed to have been allowed to the taxpayer in respect of the property under regulations made under paragraph 20(1)(a) in computing the taxpayer’s income for taxation years before the acquisition by the taxpayer of the property.
Where a taxpayer is a beneficiary under a qualifying environmental trust in a taxation year of the trust (in this subsection referred to as the “trust’s year”) that ends in a particular taxation year of the taxpayer,
subject to paragraph 107.3(1)(b), the taxpayer’s income, non-capital loss and net capital loss for the particular year shall be computed as if the amount of the income or loss of the trust for the trust’s year from any source or from sources in a particular place were the income or loss of the taxpayer from that source or from sources in that particular place for the particular year, to the extent of the portion thereof that can reasonably be considered to be the taxpayer’s share of such income or loss; and
if the taxpayer is non-resident at any time in the particular year and an income or loss described in paragraph 107.3(1)(a) or an amount to which paragraph 12(1)(z.1) or (z.2) applies would not otherwise be included in computing the taxpayer’s taxable income or taxable income earned in Canada, as the case may be, notwithstanding any other provision of this Act, the income, the loss or the amount shall be attributed to the carrying on of business in Canada by the taxpayer through a fixed place of business located in the province in which the site to which the trust relates is situated.
Where property of a qualifying environmental trust is transferred at any time to a beneficiary under the trust in satisfaction of all or any part of the beneficiary’s interest as a beneficiary under the trust,
the trust shall be deemed to have disposed of the property at that time for proceeds of disposition equal to its fair market value at that time; and
the beneficiary shall be deemed to have acquired the property at that time at a cost equal to its fair market value at that time.
If at any time a trust ceases to be a qualifying environmental trust,
for the purposes of subsections 111(5.5) and 149(10), the trust is deemed to cease at that time to be exempt from tax under this Part on its taxable income;
each beneficiary under the trust immediately before that time is deemed to receive at that time from the trust an amount equal to the percentage of the fair market value of the properties of the trust immediately after that time that can reasonably be considered to be the beneficiary’s interest in the trust; and
each beneficiary under the trust is deemed to acquire immediately after that time an interest in the trust at a cost equal to the amount deemed by paragraph (b) to be received by the beneficiary from the trust.
Subsection 104(13) and sections 105 to 107 do not apply to a trust with respect to a taxation year during which it is a qualifying environmental trust.
In this section, a qualifying disposition of a property means a disposition of the property before December 21, 2002 by a person or partnership, and a disposition of property after December 20, 2002 by an individual, (which person, partnership or individual is referred to in this subsection as the “contributor”) as a result of a transfer of the property to a particular trust where
the disposition does not result in a change in the beneficial ownership of the property;
the proceeds of disposition would, if this Act were read without reference to this section and sections 69 and 73, not be determined under any provision of this Act;
the particular trust is resident in Canada at the time of the transfer;
[Repealed, 2013, c. 34, s. 235]
unless the contributor is a trust, there is immediately after the disposition no absolute or contingent right of a person or partnership (other than the contributor or, where the property was co-owned, each of the joint contributors) as a beneficiary (determined with reference to subsection 104(1.1)) under the particular trust;
the contributor is not an individual (other than a trust described in any of paragraphs (a) to (e.1) of the definition trust in subsection 108(1)), if the particular trust is described in any of paragraphs (a) to (e.1) of the definition trust in subsection 108(1);
the disposition is not part of a series of transactions or events
that begins after December 17, 1999 and that includes the subsequent acquisition, for consideration given to a personal trust, of a capital interest or an income interest in the trust,
that begins after December 17, 1999 and that includes the disposition of all or part of a capital interest or an income interest in a personal trust, other than a disposition solely as a consequence of a distribution from a trust to a person or partnership in satisfaction of all or part of that interest, or
that begins after June 5, 2000 and that includes the transfer to the particular trust of particular property as consideration for the acquisition of a capital interest in the particular trust, if the particular property can reasonably be considered to have been received by the particular trust in order to fund a distribution (other than a distribution that is proceeds of disposition of a capital interest in the particular trust);
the disposition is not, and is not part of, a transaction
that occurs after December 17, 1999, and
that includes the giving to the contributor, for the disposition, of any consideration (other than consideration that is an interest of the contributor as a beneficiary under the particular trust or that is the assumption by the particular trust of debt for which the property can, at the time of the disposition, reasonably be considered to be security);
subsection 73(1) does not apply to the disposition and would not apply to the disposition if
no election had been made under that subsection, and
section 73 were read without reference to subsection 73(1.02); and
if the contributor is an amateur athlete trust, a cemetery care trust, an employee life and health trust, an employee trust, an inter vivos trust deemed by subsection 143(1) to exist in respect of a congregation that is a constituent part of a religious organization, a related segregated fund trust (within the meaning assigned by paragraph 138.1(1)(a)), a trust described in paragraph 149(1)(o.4) or a trust governed by an eligible funeral arrangement, an employees profit sharing plan, a registered disability savings plan, a registered education savings plan, a registered supplementary unemployment benefit plan or a TFSA, the particular trust is the same type of trust.
For the purpose of paragraph (1)(a),
except where paragraph (b) applies, where a trust (in this paragraph and subsection (2.1) referred to as the “transferor trust”), in a period that does not exceed one day, disposes of one or more properties in the period to one or more other trusts, there is deemed to be no resulting change in the beneficial ownership of those properties if
the transferor trust receives no consideration for the disposition, and
as a consequence of the disposition, the value of each beneficiary’s beneficial ownership at the beginning of the period under the transferor trust in each particular property of the transferor trust (or group of two or more properties of the transferor trust that are identical to each other) is the same as the value of the beneficiary’s beneficial ownership at the end of the period under the transferor trust and the other trust or trusts in each particular property (or in property that was immediately before the disposition included in the group of identical properties referred to above); and
where a trust (in this paragraph referred to as the “transferor”) governed by a registered retirement savings plan or by a registered retirement income fund transfers a property to a trust (in this paragraph referred to as the “transferee”) governed by a registered retirement savings plan or by a registered retirement income fund, the transfer is deemed not to result in a change in the beneficial ownership of the property if the annuitant of the plan or fund that governs the transferor is also the annuitant of the plan or fund that governs the transferee.
For the purpose of applying paragraph (2)(a) in respect of a transfer by a transferor trust of property that includes a share and money, the other trust or trusts referred to in that paragraph may receive, in lieu of a transfer of a fractional interest in a share that would otherwise be required, a disproportionate amount of money or interest in the share (the value of which does not exceed the lesser of $200 and the fair market value of the fractional interest).
Where at a particular time there is a qualifying disposition of a property by a person or partnership (in this subsection referred to as the “transferor”) to a trust (in this subsection referred to as the “transferee trust”),
the transferor’s proceeds of disposition of the property are deemed to be
where the transferor so elects in writing and files the election with the Minister on or before the transferor’s filing-due date for its taxation year that includes the particular time, or at any later time that is acceptable to the Minister, the amount specified in the election that is not less than the cost amount to the transferor of the property immediately before the particular time and not more than the fair market value of the property at the particular time, and
in any other case, the cost amount to the transferor of the property immediately before the particular time;
the transferee trust’s cost of the property is deemed to be the amount, if any, by which
the proceeds determined under paragraph (a) in respect of the qualifying disposition
the amount by which the transferor’s loss otherwise determined from the qualifying disposition would be reduced because of subsection 100(4), paragraph 107(1)(c) or (d) or any of subsections 112(3) to (4.2), if the proceeds determined under paragraph (a) were equal to the fair market value of the property at the particular time;
[Repealed, 2005, c. 30, s. 4]
if the property was depreciable property of a prescribed class of the transferor and its capital cost to the transferor exceeds the cost at which the transferee trust is deemed by this subsection to have acquired the property, for the purposes of sections 13 and 20 and any regulations made for the purpose of paragraph 20(1)(a),
the capital cost of the property to the transferee trust is deemed to be the amount that was the capital cost of the property to the transferor, and
the excess is deemed to have been allowed to the transferee trust in respect of the property under regulations made for the purpose of paragraph 20(1)(a) in computing income for taxation years that ended before the particular time;
if the property was eligible capital property of the transferor in respect of a business of the transferor,
for the purpose of determining after the particular time the amount required by paragraph 14(1)(b) to be included in computing the transferee trust’s income in respect of any subsequent disposition of the property of the business, there shall be added to the value otherwise determined for Q in the definition cumulative eligible capital in subsection 14(5) the amount determined by the formula A × (B/C) where A is the amount, if any, determined for Q in that definition in respect of the business of the transferor immediately before the particular time, B is the fair market value of the property immediately before the particular time, and C is the fair market value immediately before the particular time of all eligible capital property of the transferor in respect of the business;
after the adjustment time of the transferee trust in respect of the business, and
before the particular time, and
3/4 of the excess is deemed to have been allowed under paragraph 20(1)(b) to the transferee trust in respect of the property in computing income for taxation years that ended
the eligible capital expenditure of the transferee trust in respect of the property is deemed to be the amount that was the eligible capital expenditure of the transferor in respect of the property, and
where the eligible capital expenditure of the transferor in respect of the property exceeds the cost at which the transferee trust is deemed by this subsection to have acquired the property, for the purposes of sections 14, 20 and 24,
if, as a result of a transaction or event, the property was deemed to be taxable Canadian property of the transferor by this paragraph or any of paragraphs 44.1(2)(c), 51(1)(f), 85(1)(i) and 85.1(1)(a), subsection 85.1(5), paragraph 85.1(8)(b), subsections 87(4) and (5) and paragraphs 97(2)(c) and 107(3.1)(d), the property is also deemed to be, at any time that is within 60 months after the transaction or event, taxable Canadian property of the transferee trust;
where the transferor is a related segregated fund trust (in this paragraph having the meaning assigned by section 138.1),
paragraph 138.1(1)(i) does not apply in respect of a disposition of an interest in the transferor that occurs in connection with the qualifying disposition, and
in computing the amount determined under paragraph 138.1(1)(i) in respect of a subsequent disposition of an interest in the transferee trust where the interest is deemed to exist in connection with a particular life insurance policy, the acquisition fee (as defined by subsection 138.1(6)) in respect of the particular policy shall be determined as if each amount determined under any of paragraphs 138.1(6)(a) to (d) in respect of the policyholder’s interest in the transferor had been determined in respect of the policyholder’s interest in the transferee trust;
if the transferor is a trust to which property had been transferred by an individual (other than a trust),
where subsection 73(1) applied in respect of the property so transferred and it is reasonable to consider that the property was so transferred in anticipation of the individual ceasing to be resident in Canada, for the purposes of paragraph 104(4)(a.3) and the application of this paragraph to a disposition by the transferee trust after the particular time, the transferee trust is deemed after the particular time to be a trust to which the individual had transferred property in anticipation of the individual ceasing to reside in Canada and in circumstances to which subsection 73(1) applied, and
for the purposes of paragraph (j) of the definition excluded right or interest in subsection 128.1(10) and the application of this paragraph to a disposition by the transferee trust after the particular time, where the property so transferred was transferred in circumstances to which this subsection would apply if subsection (1) were read without reference to paragraphs (1)(h) and (i), the transferee trust is deemed after the particular time to be a trust an interest in which was acquired by the individual as a consequence of a qualifying disposition;
if the transferor is a trust (other than a personal trust or a trust prescribed for the purposes of subsection 107(2)), the transferee trust is deemed to be neither a personal trust nor a trust prescribed for the purposes of subsection 107(2);
if the transferor is a trust and a taxpayer disposes of all or part of a capital interest in the transferor because of the qualifying disposition and, as a consequence, acquires a capital interest or part of it in the transferee trust
the taxpayer is deemed to dispose of the capital interest or part of it in the transferor for proceeds equal to the cost amount to the taxpayer of that interest or part of it immediately before the particular time, and
the taxpayer is deemed to acquire the capital interest or part of it in the transferee trust at a cost equal to the amount, if any, by which exceeds
that cost amount
the amount by which the taxpayer’s loss otherwise determined from the disposition referred to in subparagraph (i) would be reduced because of paragraph 107(1)(c) or (d) if the proceeds under that subparagraph were equal to the fair market value of the capital interest or part of it in the transferor immediately before the particular time;
where the transferor is a trust, a taxpayer’s beneficial ownership in the property ceases to be derived from the taxpayer’s capital interest in the transferor because of the qualifying disposition and no part of the taxpayer’s capital interest in the transferor was disposed of because of the qualifying disposition, there shall, immediately after the particular time, be added to the cost otherwise determined of the taxpayer’s capital interest in the transferee trust, the amount determined by the formula A × [(B - C)/B] - D where A is the cost amount to the taxpayer of the taxpayer’s capital interest in the transferor immediately before the particular time, B is the fair market value immediately before the particular time of the taxpayer’s capital interest in the transferor, C is the fair market value at the particular time of the taxpayer’s capital interest in the transferor (determined as if the only property disposed of at the particular time were the particular property), and D is the lesser of the amount, if any, by which the cost amount to the taxpayer of the taxpayer’s capital interest in the transferor immediately before the particular time exceeds the fair market value of the taxpayer’s capital interest in the transferor immediately before the particular time, and the maximum amount by which the taxpayer’s loss from a disposition of a capital interest otherwise determined could have been reduced because of paragraph 107(1)(c) or (d) if the taxpayer’s capital interest in the transferor had been disposed of immediately before the particular time;
where paragraph (k) applies to the qualifying disposition in respect of a taxpayer, the amount that would be determined under that paragraph in respect of the qualifying disposition if the amount determined for D in that paragraph were nil shall, immediately after the particular time, be deducted in computing the cost otherwise determined of the taxpayer’s capital interest in the transferor;

For the purposes of this Act, a trust is a unit trust at any particular time if, at that time, it was an inter vivos trust the interest of each beneficiary under which was described by reference to units of the trust, and
the issued units of the trust included
units having conditions attached thereto that included conditions requiring the trust to accept, at the demand of the holder thereof and at prices determined and payable in accordance with the conditions, the surrender of the units, or fractions or parts thereof, that are fully paid, or
units qualified in accordance with prescribed conditions relating to the redemption of the units by the trust,
each of the following conditions was satisfied:
throughout the taxation year that includes the particular time (in this paragraph referred to as the “current year”), the trust was resident in Canada,
throughout the period or periods (in this paragraph referred to as the “relevant periods”) that are in the current year and throughout which the conditions in paragraph (a) are not satisfied in respect of the trust, its only undertaking was
the investing of its funds in property (other than real property or an interest in real property or an immovable or a real right in an immovable),
the acquiring, holding, maintaining, improving, leasing or managing of any real property or an interest in real property, or of any immovable or a real right in immovables, that is capital property of the trust, or

throughout the relevant periods at least 80% of its property consisted of any combination of
shares,

not less than 95% of its income for the current year (computed without regard to subsections 39(2), 49(2.1) and 104(6)) was derived from, or from the disposition of, investments described in subparagraph (iii), or
not less than 95% of its income for each of the relevant periods (computed without regard to subsections 39(2), 49(2.1) and 104(6) and as though each of those periods were a taxation year) was derived from, or from the disposition of, investments described in subparagraph (iii),
throughout the relevant periods, not more than 10% of its property consisted of bonds, securities or shares in the capital stock of any one corporation or debtor other than Her Majesty in right of Canada or a province or a Canadian municipality, and
where the trust would not be a unit trust at the particular time if this paragraph were read without reference to this subparagraph and subparagraph (iii) were read without reference to clause (F), the units of the trust are listed at any time in the current year or in the following taxation year on a designated stock exchange in Canada, or
the fair market value of the property of the trust at the end of 1993 was primarily attributable to real property or an interest in real property — or to immovables or a real right in immovables — and the trust was a unit trust throughout any calendar year that ended before 1994 and the fair market value of the property of the trust at the particular time is primarily attributable to property described in paragraph (a) or (b) of the definition qualified investment in section 204, real property or an interest in real property — or immovables or a real right in immovables — or any combination of those properties.
For the purposes of the definitions income interest in subsection (1), lifetime benefit trust in subsection 60.011(1) and exempt foreign trust in subsection 94(1), the income of a trust is its income computed without reference to the provisions of this Act and, for the purposes of the definition pre-1972 spousal trust in subsection (1) and paragraphs 70(6)(b) and (6.1)(b), 73(1.01)(c) and 104(4)(a), the income of a trust is its income computed without reference to the provisions of this Act, minus any dividends included in that income
that are amounts not included by reason of section 83 in computing the income of the trust for the purposes of the other provisions of this Act;
that are described in subsection 131(1); or
to which subsection 131(1) applies by reason of subsection 130(2).
For the purposes of the definition pre-1972 spousal trust in subsection (1), subparagraphs 70(6)(b)(ii) and (6.1)(b)(ii) and paragraphs 73(1.01)(c) and 104(4)(a), where a trust was created by a taxpayer whether by the taxpayer’s will or otherwise, no person is deemed to have received or otherwise obtained or to be entitled to receive or otherwise obtain the use of any income or capital of the trust solely because of the payment, or provision for payment, as the case may be, by the trust of
any estate, legacy, succession or inheritance duty payable, in consequence of the death of the taxpayer, or a spouse or common-law partner of the taxpayer who is a beneficiary under the trust, in respect of any property of, or interest in, the trust; or
any income or profits tax payable by the trust in respect of any income of the trust.
Except as otherwise provided in this Part,
an amount included in computing the income for a taxation year of a beneficiary of a trust under subsection 104(13) or (14) or section 105 shall be deemed to be income of the beneficiary for the year from a property that is an interest in the trust and not from any other source, and
an amount deductible in computing the amount that would, but for subsections 104(6) and (12), be the income of a trust for a taxation year shall not be deducted by a beneficiary of the trust in computing the beneficiary’s income for a taxation year,
Where at any time the terms of a trust are varied
for the purposes of subsections 104(4), (5) and (5.2) and subject to paragraph (b), the trust is, at and after that time, deemed to be the same trust as, and a continuation of, the trust immediately before that time;
for greater certainty, paragraph (a) does not affect the application of paragraph 104(4)(a.1); and
for the purposes of paragraph 53(2)(h), subsection 107(1), paragraph (j) of the definition excluded right or interest in subsection 128.1(10) and the definition personal trust in subsection 248(1), no interest of a beneficiary under the trust before it was varied is considered to be consideration for the interest of the beneficiary in the trust as varied.
For the purposes of paragraph 53(2)(h), subparagraph (c)(i) of the definition exempt amount in subsection 94(1), subsection 107(1), paragraph (j) of the definition excluded right or interest in subsection 128.1(10) and paragraph (b) of the definition personal trust in subsection 248(1),
an interest in a trust is deemed not to be acquired for consideration solely because it was acquired in satisfaction of any right as a beneficiary under the trust to enforce payment of an amount by the trust; and
where all the beneficial interests in a particular inter vivos trust acquired by way of the transfer, assignment or other disposition of property to the particular trust were acquired by
one person, or
two or more persons who would be related to each other if
a trust and another person were related to each other, where the other person is a beneficiary under the trust or is related to a beneficiary under the trust, and
a trust and another trust were related to each other, where a beneficiary under the trust is a beneficiary under the other trust or is related to a beneficiary under the other trust,
For the purpose of computing the taxable income of a taxpayer for a taxation year, there may be deducted such of the following amounts as are applicable

is a prescribed share at the time of its sale or issue, as the case may be,
would have been a prescribed share if it were issued or sold to the taxpayer at the time the taxpayer disposed of rights under the agreement,
would have been a unit of a mutual fund trust at the time of its sale or issue if those units issued by the trust that were not identical to the security had not been issued, or
would have been a unit of a mutual fund trust if
it were issued or sold to the taxpayer at the time the taxpayer disposed of rights under the agreement, and

the fair market value of the particular security at the time the original agreement was made
the amount, if any, paid by the taxpayer to acquire the right to acquire the security, and
for the purpose of determining if the condition in paragraph 7(1.4)(c) was satisfied with respect to each of the particular dispositions following the first of those dispositions, was not less than
the amount that was included, in respect of each particular security that could be acquired under the agreement the rights under which were the subject of the particular disposition, in the amount determined under subparagraph 7(1.4)(c)(iv) with respect to the particular disposition
the amount that was included, in respect of the particular security, in the amount determined under subparagraph 7(1.4)(c)(ii) with respect to the last of those dispositions preceding the particular disposition;
subject to subsection (2.1), if the taxpayer disposes of a security acquired in the year by the taxpayer under an agreement referred to in subsection 7(1) by making a gift of the security to a qualified donee, an amount in respect of the disposition of the security equal to 1/2 of the lesser of the benefit deemed by paragraph 7(1)(a) to have been received by the taxpayer in the year in respect of the acquisition of the security and the amount that would have been that benefit had the value of the security at the time of its acquisition by the taxpayer been equal to the value of the security at the time of the disposition, if
the security is a security described in subparagraph 38(a.1)(i),
[Repealed, 2002, c. 9, s. 33(1)]

For the purpose of computing the taxable income of a taxpayer for a taxation year, paragraph (1)(d) shall be read without reference to its subparagraph (i) in respect of all rights granted to the taxpayer under an agreement to sell or issue securities referred to in subsection 7(1) if
the particular qualifying person elects in prescribed form that neither the particular qualifying person nor any person not dealing at arm’s length with the particular qualifying person will deduct in computing its income for a taxation year any amount (other than a designated amount described in subsection (1.2)) in respect of a payment to or for the benefit of a taxpayer for the taxpayer’s transfer or disposition of rights under the agreement;

the particular qualifying person provides the taxpayer with evidence in writing of the election; and
the taxpayer files the evidence with the Minister with the taxpayer’s return of income for the year in which a deduction under paragraph (1)(d) is claimed.
For the purposes of subsection (1.1), an amount is a designated amount if the following conditions are met:
the amount would otherwise be deductible in computing the income of the particular qualifying person in the absence of subsection (1.1);
the amount is payable to a person
with whom the particular qualifying person deals at arm’s length, and
who is neither an employee of the particular qualifying person nor of any person not dealing at arm’s length with the particular qualifying person; and

For the purpose of paragraph (1)(d),
the amount payable by a taxpayer to acquire a security under an agreement referred to in subsection 7(1) shall be determined without reference to any change in the value of a currency of a country other than Canada, relative to Canadian currency, occurring after the agreement was made;
the fair market value of a security at the time an agreement in respect of the security was made shall be determined on the assumption that all specified events associated with the security that occurred after the agreement was made and before the sale or issue of the security or the disposition of the taxpayer’s rights under the agreement in respect of the security, as the case may be, had occurred immediately before the agreement was made; and
in determining the amount that was included, in respect of a security that a qualifying person has agreed to sell or issue to a taxpayer, in the amount determined under subparagraph 7(1.4)(c)(ii) for the purpose of determining if the condition in paragraph 7(1.4)(c) was satisfied with respect to a particular disposition, an assumption shall be made that all specified events associated with the security that occurred after the particular disposition and before the sale or issue of the security or the taxpayer’s subsequent disposition of rights under the agreement in respect of the security, as the case may be, had occurred immediately before the particular disposition.

the rights (referred to in this subsection and subsection (1.8) as the “new rights”) that the taxpayer has under the agreement at the particular time are deemed to be acquired by the taxpayer at the particular time; and
the taxpayer is deemed to receive the new rights as consideration for the disposition of the old rights.
The following are the conditions in respect of the reduction:
that the taxpayer would not be entitled to a deduction under paragraph (1)(d) if the taxpayer acquired securities under the agreement immediately after the particular time and this section were read without reference to subsection (1.7); and
that the taxpayer would be entitled to a deduction under paragraph (1)(d) if the taxpayer
disposed of the old rights immediately before the particular time,
acquired the new rights at the particular time as consideration for the disposition, and
acquired securities under the agreement immediately after the particular time.

if the payment is a gift, the taxpayer is deemed, for the purpose of paragraph (1)(d.01), to have disposed of the security by making a gift of the security to the qualified donee at the time the payment is made; and
the amount deductible under paragraph (1)(d.01) by the taxpayer in respect of the disposition of the security is the amount determined by the formula A × B/C where A is the amount that would be deductible under paragraph (1)(d.01) in respect of the disposition of the security if this subsection were read without reference to this paragraph, B is the amount of the payment, and C is the amount of the proceeds of disposition of the security.

the total of all amounts each of which is an amount, in respect of property that is the subject of an eligible medical gift made by the corporation in the taxation year or in any of the five preceding taxation years, determined by the formula A × B/C where A is the lesser of the cost to the corporation of the property, and 50 per cent of the amount, if any, by which the corporation’s proceeds of disposition of the property in respect of the gift exceeds the cost to the corporation of the property; B is the eligible amount of the gift; and C is the corporation’s proceeds of disposition of the property in respect of the gift.
the total of all amounts each of which is the eligible amount of a gift (other than a gift described in paragraph (c) or (d)) made by the corporation to Her Majesty in right of Canada or of a province

in the year or in any of the 5 preceding taxation years, and
the total of all amounts each of which is the eligible amount of a gift (other than a gift described in paragraph (d)) of an object that the Canadian Cultural Property Export Review Board has determined meets the criteria set out in paragraphs 29(3)(b) and (c) of the Cultural Property Export and Import Act, which gift was made by the corporation in the year or in any of the five preceding taxation years to an institution or a public authority in Canada that was, at the time the gift was made, designated under subsection 32(2) of that Act either generally or for a specified purpose related to that object; and
the total of all amounts each of which is the eligible amount of a gift of land (including a covenant or an easement to which land is subject or, in the case of land in the Province of Quebec, a real servitude) if
the fair market value of the gift is certified by the Minister of the Environment,
the land is certified by that Minister, or by a person designated by that Minister, to be ecologically sensitive land, the conservation and protection of which is, in the opinion of that Minister or the designated person, important to the preservation of Canada’s environmental heritage, and
the gift was made by the corporation in the year or in any of the five preceding taxation years to
Her Majesty in right of Canada or of a province,

a registered charity one of the main purposes of which is, in the opinion of that Minister, the conservation and protection of Canada’s environmental heritage, and that is approved by that Minister or the designated person in respect of the gift.
For the purpose of determining the amount deductible under subsection 110.1(1) in computing a corporation’s taxable income for a taxation year,
an amount in respect of a gift is deductible only to the extent that it exceeds amounts in respect of the gift deducted under that subsection in computing the corporation’s taxable income for preceding taxation years; and
no amount in respect of a gift made in a particular taxation year is deductible under any of paragraphs 110.1(1)(a) to (d) until amounts deductible under that paragraph in respect of gifts made in taxation years preceding the particular year have been deducted.
Notwithstanding paragraph 88(1)(e.6), if control of a particular corporation is acquired at any time by a person or group of persons,
no amount is deductible under any of paragraphs (1)(a) to (d) in computing any corporation’s taxable income for a taxation year that ends on or after that time in respect of a gift made by the particular corporation before that time; and
no amount is deductible under any of paragraphs (1)(a) to (d) in computing any corporation’s taxable income for a taxation year that ends on or after that time in respect of a gift made by any corporation on or after that time if the property that is the subject of the gift was acquired by the particular corporation under an arrangement under which it was expected that control of the particular corporation would be so acquired by a person or group of persons, other than a qualified donee that received the gift, and the gift would be so made.
An eligible amount of a gift shall not be included for the purpose of determining a deduction under subsection (1) unless the making of the gift is evidenced by filing with the Minister
a receipt for the gift that contains prescribed information;
in the case of a gift described in paragraph (1)(c), the certificate issued under subsection 33(1) of the Cultural Property Export and Import Act; and
in the case of a gift described in paragraph (1)(d), both certificates referred to in that paragraph.
Subsection (3) applies in circumstances where
a corporation makes a gift at any time of
capital property to a qualified donee, or
in the case of a corporation not resident in Canada, real or immovable property situated in Canada to a prescribed donee who provides an undertaking, in a form satisfactory to the Minister, to the effect that the property will be held for use in the public interest; and
the fair market value of the property otherwise determined at that time exceeds
in the case of depreciable property of a prescribed class, the lesser of the undepreciated capital cost of that class at the end of the taxation year of the corporation that includes that time (determined without reference to the proceeds of disposition designated in respect of the property under subsection (3)) and the adjusted cost base to the corporation of the property immediately before that time, and
in any other case, the adjusted cost base to the corporation of the property immediately before that time.
If this subsection applies in respect of a gift by a corporation of property, and the corporation designates an amount in respect of the gift in its return of income under section 150 for the year in which the gift is made, the amount so designated is deemed to be its proceeds of disposition of the property and, for the purpose of subsection 248(31), the fair market value of the gift, but the amount so designated may not exceed the fair market value of the property otherwise determined and may not be less than the greater of
in the case of a gift made after December 20, 2002, the amount of the advantage, if any, in respect of the gift, and
the amount determined under subparagraph (2.1)(b)(i) or (ii), as the case may be, in respect of the property.
If at the end of a fiscal period of a partnership a corporation is a member of the partnership, its share of any amount that would, if the partnership were a person, be the eligible amount of a gift made by the partnership to any donee is, for the purpose of this section, deemed to be the eligible amount of a gift made to that donee by the corporation in its taxation year in which the fiscal period of the partnership ends.
For the purposes of applying subparagraph 69(1)(b)(ii), this section and section 207.31 in respect of a gift described in paragraph (1)(d) that is made by a taxpayer, the amount that is the fair market value (or, for the purpose of subsection (3), the fair market value otherwise determined) of the gift at the time the gift was made and, subject to subsection (3), the taxpayer’s proceeds of disposition of the gift, is deemed to be the amount determined by the Minister of the Environment to be
where the gift is land, the fair market value of the gift; or
where the gift is a covenant or an easement to which land is subject or, in the case of land in the Province of Quebec, a real servitude, the greater of
the fair market value otherwise determined of the gift, and
the amount by which the fair market value of the land is reduced as a result of the making of the gift.
Subsections 118.1(13) to (14) and (16) to (20) apply to a corporation as if the references in those subsections to an individual were read as references to a corporation and as if a non-qualifying security of a corporation included a share (other than a share listed on a designated stock exchange) of the capital stock of the corporation.
If, but for this subsection, a corporation (other than a corporation that was a predecessor corporation in an amalgamation to which subsection 87(1) applied or a corporation that was wound up in a winding-up to which subsection 88(1) applied) would be deemed by subsection 118.1(13) to have made a gift after the corporation ceased to exist, for the purpose of this section, the corporation is deemed to have made the gift in its last taxation year, except that the amount of interest payable under any provision of this Act is the amount that it would be if this subsection did not apply to the gift.

any person has made any misrepresentation that is attributable to neglect, carelessness or wilful default for the purpose of obtaining the opinion; and
that Minister is of the opinion that the registered charity no longer meets prescribed conditions referred to in paragraph (8)(e), or
notwithstanding subparagraph (i), the opinion may be revoked at any time by that Minister if
that Minister may also designate a period of time during which that opinion is valid, and
if, in respect of a registered charity, the Minister referred to in paragraph (8)(e) is of the opinion described in that paragraph
for greater certainty, nothing in paragraph (8)(b) modifies the application to a registered charity of the prescribed conditions referred to in paragraph (8)(e);
For the purpose of paragraph (8)(e),
the donee is a registered charity that, in the opinion of the Minister for International Development (or, if there is no such Minister, the Minister of Foreign Affairs) meets conditions prescribed by regulation.

Subject to subsections (12) and (13), if a corporation has granted an option to a qualified donee in a taxation year, no amount in respect of the option is to be included in computing an amount under any of paragraphs (1)(a) to (d) in respect of the corporation for any year.
Subsection (12) applies if
an option to acquire a property of a corporation is granted to a qualified donee;
the option is exercised so that the property is disposed of by the corporation and acquired by the qualified donee at a particular time; and
either
the amount that is 80% of the fair market value of the property at the particular time is greater than or equal to the total of
the consideration received by the corporation from the qualified donee for the property, and
the consideration received by the corporation from the qualified donee for the option, or
the corporation establishes to the satisfaction of the Minister that the granting of the option or the disposition of the property was made by the corporation with the intention to make a gift to the qualified donee.
If this subsection applies, notwithstanding subsection 49(3),
the corporation is deemed to have received proceeds of disposition of the property equal to the property’s fair market value at the particular time; and
there shall be included in the total referred to in paragraph (1)(a), for the corporation’s taxation year that includes the particular time, the amount by which the property’s fair market value exceeds the total described in subparagraph (11)(c)(i).
If an option to acquire a particular property of a corporation is granted to a qualified donee and the option is disposed of by the qualified donee (otherwise than by the exercise of the option) at a particular time
the corporation is deemed to have disposed of a property at the particular time
the adjusted cost base of which to the corporation immediately before the particular time is equal to the consideration, if any, paid by the qualified donee for the option, and
the proceeds of disposition of which are equal to the lesser of the fair market value of the particular property at the particular time and the fair market value of any consideration (other than a non-qualifying security of any person) received by the qualified donee for the option; and
there shall be included in the total referred to in paragraph (1)(a) for the corporation’s taxation year that includes the particular time the amount, if any, by which the proceeds of disposition as determined by paragraph (a) exceed the consideration, if any, paid by the qualified donee for the option.
Subsection (15) applies if a qualified donee has issued to a corporation a receipt referred to in subsection (2) in respect of a transfer of a property (in this subsection and subsection (15) referred to as the “original property”) and a particular property that is
the original property is later transferred to the corporation (unless that later transfer is reasonable consideration or remuneration for property acquired by or services rendered to a person); or
any other property that may reasonably be considered compensation for or a substitute for, in whole or in part, the original property, is later transferred to the corporation.
If this subsection applies, then
irrespective of whether the transfer of the original property by the corporation to the qualified donee referred to in subsection (14) was a gift, the corporation is deemed not to have disposed of the original property at the time of that transfer nor to have made a gift;
if the particular property is identical to the original property, the particular property is deemed to be the original property; and
if the particular property is not the original property, then
the corporation is deemed to have disposed of the original property at the time that the particular property is transferred to the corporation for proceeds of disposition equal to the greater of the fair market value of the particular property at that time and the fair market value of the original property at the time that it was transferred by the corporation to the donee, and
if the transfer of the original property by the corporation would be a gift if this section were read without reference to paragraph (a), the corporation is deemed to have, at the time of that transfer, transferred to the donee a property that is the subject of a gift having a fair market value equal to the amount, if any, by which the fair market value of the original property at the time of that transfer exceeds the fair market value of the particular property at the time that it is transferred to the corporation.
If subsection (15) applies in respect of a transfer of property to a corporation and that property has a fair market value greater than $50, the transferor must file an information return containing prescribed information with the Minister not later than 90 days after the day on which the property was transferred and provide a copy of the return to the corporation.
If subsection (15) applies in respect of a transfer of property to a corporation, the Minister may reassess a return of income of any person to the extent that the reassessment can reasonably be regarded as relating to the transfer.
The definitions in this subsection apply in this section and section 120.31.

[Repealed, 1995, c. 3, s. 32(3)]
Notwithstanding subsections (2), (2.1) and (2.2), the total amount that may be deducted under this section in computing an individual’s income for a taxation year shall not exceed the total of the amount determined by the formula in paragraph 2(a) and the amount that may be deducted under subsection (2.3), in respect of the individual for the year.
For the purposes of subsections (2) to (2.3), an individual is deemed to have been resident in Canada throughout a particular taxation year if
the individual was resident in Canada at any time in the particular taxation year; and
the individual was resident in Canada throughout the immediately preceding taxation year or throughout the immediately following taxation year.
Notwithstanding subsections (2) to (2.3), no amount may be deducted under this section in respect of a capital gain of an individual for a particular taxation year in computing the individual’s taxable income for the particular taxation year or any subsequent year, if
the individual knowingly or under circumstances amounting to gross negligence
fails to file the individual’s return of income for the particular taxation year within one year after the taxpayer’s filing-due date for the particular taxation year, or
fails to report the capital gain in the individual’s return of income for the particular taxation year; and
the Minister establishes the facts justifying the denial of such an amount under this section.
Notwithstanding subsections (2) to (2.3), no amount may be deducted under this section in computing an individual’s taxable income for a taxation year in respect of a capital gain of the individual for the taxation year if the capital gain is from a disposition of property which disposition is part of a series of transactions or events
that includes a dividend received by a corporation to which dividend subsection 55(2) does not apply but would apply if this Act were read without reference to paragraph 55(3)(b); or
in which any property is acquired by a corporation or partnership for consideration that is significantly less than the fair market value of the property at the time of acquisition (other than an acquisition as the result of an amalgamation or merger of corporations or the winding-up of a corporation or partnership or a distribution of property of a trust in satisfaction of all or part of a corporation’s capital interest in the trust).
Notwithstanding subsections (2) to (2.3), where an individual has a capital gain for a taxation year from the disposition of a property and it can reasonably be concluded, having regard to all the circumstances, that a significant part of the capital gain is attributable to the fact that dividends were not paid on a share (other than a prescribed share) or that dividends paid on such a share in the taxation year or in any preceding taxation year were less than 90% of the average annual rate of return on that share for that year, no amount in respect of that capital gain shall be deducted under this section in computing the individual’s taxable income for the year.
For the purpose of subsection 110.6(8), the average annual rate of return on a share (other than a prescribed share) of a corporation for a taxation year is the annual rate of return by way of dividends that a knowledgeable and prudent investor who purchased the share on the day it was issued would expect to receive in that year, other than the first year after the issue, in respect of the share if
there was no delay or postponement of the payment of dividends and no failure to pay dividends in respect of the share;
there was no variation from year to year in the amount of dividends payable in respect of the share (other than where the amount of dividends payable is expressed as an invariant percentage of or by reference to an invariant difference between the dividend expressed as a rate of interest and a generally quoted market interest rate); and
the proceeds to be received by the investor on the disposition of the share are the same amount the corporation received as consideration on the issue of the share.
Where it is reasonable to consider that one of the main reasons for an individual acquiring, holding or having an interest in a partnership or trust (other than an interest in a personal trust) or a share of an investment corporation, mortgage investment corporation or mutual fund corporation, or for the existence of any terms, conditions, rights or other attributes of the interest or share, is to enable the individual to receive or have allocated to the individual a percentage of any capital gain or taxable capital gain of the partnership, trust or corporation that is larger than the individual’s percentage of the income of the partnership, trust or corporation, as the case may be, notwithstanding any other provision of this Act,
no amount may be deducted under this section by the individual in respect of any such gain allocated or distributed to the individual after November 21, 1985; and
where the individual is a trust, any such gain allocated or distributed to it after November 21, 1985 shall not be included in computing its eligible taxable capital gain (within the meaning assigned by subsection 108(1)).
Notwithstanding any other provision of this Act, a trust (other than an alter ego trust or a joint spousal or common-law partner trust) that is described in paragraph 104(4)(a) or (a.1) may, in computing its taxable income for its taxation year that includes the day determined under paragraph 104(4)(a) or (a.1), as the case may be, in respect of the trust, deduct under this section an amount equal to the least of
the amount, if any, by which the amount determined by the formula in paragraph (2)(a) in respect of the taxpayer’s spouse or common-law partner for the taxation year in which that spouse or common-law partner died exceeds the amount deducted under this section for that taxation year by that spouse or common-law partner.
the amount, if any, that would be determined in respect of the trust for that year under paragraph 3(b) in respect of capital gains and capital losses if the only properties referred to in that paragraph were qualified farm properties disposed of by it after 1984, qualified small business corporation shares disposed of by it after June 17, 1987 and qualified fishing properties disposed of by it on or after May 2, 2006, and
the amount if any, determined under paragraph (a) of the definition cumulative gains limit in subsection 110.6(1) in respect of the taxpayer’s spouse or common-law partner at the end of the taxation year in which the spouse or common-law partner died,
the total of all amounts each of which is the amount, if any, determined under paragraph (b) or (d) of the definition cumulative gains limit in subsection 110.6(1) in respect of the taxpayer’s spouse or common-law partner at the end of the taxation year in which the spouse or common-law partner died
the amount, if any, by which the eligible taxable capital gains (within the meaning assigned by subsection 108(1)) of the trust for that year exceeds the amount, if any, by which
For the purposes of this section, the amount determined under paragraph 3(b) in respect of an individual for a period throughout which the individual was not resident in Canada is nil.
For the purposes of the definition qualified small business corporation share in subsection 110.6(1),
a taxpayer shall be deemed to have disposed of shares that are identical properties in the order in which the taxpayer acquired them;
in determining whether a corporation is a small business corporation or a Canadian-controlled private corporation at any time, a right referred to in paragraph 251(5)(b) shall not include a right under a purchase and sale agreement relating to a share of the capital stock of a corporation;
a personal trust shall be deemed
to be related to a person or partnership for any period throughout which the person or partnership was a beneficiary of the trust, and
in respect of shares of the capital stock of a corporation, to be related to the person from whom it acquired those shares where, at the time the trust disposed of the shares, all of the beneficiaries (other than registered charities) of the trust were related to that person or would have been so related if that person were living at that time;
a partnership shall be deemed to be related to a person for any period throughout which the person was a member of the partnership;
a person who is a member of a partnership that is a member of another partnership is deemed to be a member of the other partnership;
where a corporation acquires shares of a class of the capital stock of another corporation from any person, it shall be deemed in respect of those shares to be related to the person where all or substantially all the consideration received by that person from the corporation in respect of those shares was common shares of the capital stock of the corporation;
shares issued after June 13, 1988 by a corporation to a particular person or partnership shall be deemed to have been owned immediately before their issue by a person who was not related to the particular person or partnership unless the shares were issued
as consideration for other shares,
as part of a transaction or series of transactions in which the person or partnership disposed of property to the corporation that consisted of
all or substantially all the assets used in an active business carried on by that person or the members of that partnership, or

Subject to subsection 110.6(20), where an individual (other than a trust) or a personal trust (each of which is referred to in this subsection and subsections 110.6(20) to 110.6(29) as the “elector”), elects in prescribed form to have the provisions of this subsection apply in respect of
a capital property (other than an interest in a trust referred to in any of paragraphs (f) to (j) of the definition flow-through entity in subsection 39.1(1)) owned at the end of February 22, 1994 by the elector, the property shall be deemed, except for the purposes of sections 7 and 35 and subparagraph 110(1)(d.1)(ii),

the amount determined by the formula A - B where A is the amount designated in respect of the property in the election, and B is the amount, if any, that would, if the disposition were a disposition for the purpose of section 7 or 35, be included under that section as a result of the disposition in computing the income of the elector, and
the adjusted cost base to the elector of the property immediately before the disposition, and
to have been reacquired by the elector immediately after that time at a cost equal to
where the property is an interest in or a share of the capital stock of a flow-through entity (within the meaning assigned by subsection 39.1(1)) of the elector, the cost to the elector of the property immediately before the disposition referred to in subparagraph 110.6(19)(a)(i),
where an amount would, if the disposition referred to in subparagraph 110.6(19)(a)(i) were a disposition for the purpose of section 7 or 35, be included under that section as a result of the disposition in computing the income of the elector, the lesser of
the elector’s proceeds of disposition of the property determined under subparagraph 110.6(19)(a)(i), and
the amount determined by the formula A - B where A is the amount, if any, by which the fair market value of the property at that time exceeds the amount that would, if the disposition referred to in subparagraph 110.6(19)(a)(i) were a disposition for the purpose of section 7 or 35, be included under that section as a result of the disposition in computing the income of the elector, and B is the amount that would be determined by the formula in subclause 110.6(19)(a)(ii)(C)(II) in respect of the property if clause 110.6(19)(a)(ii)(C) applied to the property, and
in any other case, the lesser of

all the eligible capital property owned at that time by the elector in respect of the business were disposed of by the elector immediately before that time for proceeds of disposition equal to the amount designated in the election in respect of the business, and
the fiscal period of the business ended at that time
for the purpose of paragraph 14(3)(b), the amount of the taxable capital gain determined under subparagraph 110.6(19)(b)(i) shall be deemed to have been claimed, by a person who does not deal at arm’s length with each person or partnership that does not deal at arm’s length with the elector, as a deduction under this section in respect of a disposition at that time of the eligible capital property; and
an interest owned at the end of February 22, 1994 by the elector in a trust referred to in any of paragraphs (f) to (j) of the definition flow-through entity in subsection 39.1(1), the elector shall be deemed to have a capital gain for the year from the disposition on February 22, 1994 of property equal to the lesser of

4/3 of the amount that would, if all of the trust’s capital properties were disposed of at the end of February 22, 1994 for proceeds of disposition equal to their fair market value at that time and that portion of the trust’s capital gains and capital losses or its net taxable capital gains, as the case may be, arising from the dispositions as can reasonably be considered to represent the elector’s share thereof were allocated to or designated in respect of the elector, be the increase in the annual gains limit of the elector for the 1994 taxation year as a result of the dispositions.
Subsection 110.6(19) applies to a property or to a business, as the case may be, of an elector only if
where the elector is an individual (other than a trust),
its application to all of the properties in respect of which elections were made under that subsection by the elector or a spouse or common-law partner of the elector and to all the businesses in respect of which elections were made under that subsection by the elector
would result in an increase in the amount deductible under subsection 110.6(3) in computing the taxable income of the elector or a spouse or common-law partner of the elector, and
in respect of each of the 1994 and 1995 taxation years,
where no part of the taxable capital gain resulting from an election by the elector is included in computing the income of a spouse of the elector, would not result in the amount determined under paragraph 110.6(3)(a) for the year in respect of the elector being exceeded by the lesser of the amounts determined under paragraphs 110.6(3)(b) and 110.6(3)(c) for the year in respect of the elector, and
where no part of the taxable capital gain resulting from an election by the elector is included in computing the income of the elector, would not result in the amount determined under paragraph 110.6(3)(a) for the year in respect of a spouse or common-law partner of the elector being exceeded by the lesser of the amounts determined under paragraphs 110.6(3)(b) and 110.6(3)(c) for the year in respect of the spouse or common-law partner,

the amount designated in the election in respect of the business is $1.00 or exceeds 11/10 of the fair market value at the end of February 22, 1994 of all the eligible capital property owned at that time by the elector in respect of the business; and
where the elector is a personal trust, its application to all of the properties in respect of which an election was made under that subsection by the elector would result in
an increase in the amount deemed by subsection 104(21.2) to be a taxable capital gain of an individual (other than a trust) who was a beneficiary under the trust at the end of February 22, 1994 and resident in Canada at any time in the individual’s taxation year in which the trust’s taxation year that includes that day ends, or
where subsection 110.6(12) applies to the trust for the trust’s taxation year that includes that day, an increase in the amount deductible under that subsection in computing the trust’s taxable income for that year.
Where an elector is deemed by subsection 110.6(19) to have disposed of a non-qualifying real property,
in computing the elector’s taxable capital gain from the disposition, there shall be deducted the amount determined by the formula 0.75(A - B) where A is the elector’s capital gain from the disposition, and B is the elector’s eligible real property gain from the disposition; and
in determining at any time after the disposition the capital cost to the elector of the property where it is a depreciable property and the adjusted cost base to the elector of the property in any other case (other than where the property was at the end of February 22, 1994 an interest in or a share of the capital stock of a flow-through entity within the meaning assigned by subsection 39.1(1)), there shall be deducted 4/3 of the amount determined under paragraph 110.6(21)(a) in respect of the property.
Where an elector is deemed by paragraph 110.6(19)(a) to have reacquired a property, there shall be deducted in computing the adjusted cost base to the elector of the property at any time after the reacquisition the amount, if any, by which
the amount determined by the formula A - 1.1B where A is the amount designated in the election under subsection 110.6(19) in respect of the property, and B is the fair market value of the property at the end of February 22, 1994
where the property is an interest in or a share of the capital stock of a flow-through entity (within the meaning assigned by subsection 39.1(1)), 4/3 of the axable capital gain that would have resulted from the election if the amount designated in the election were equal to the fair market value of the property at the end of February 22, 1994 and, in any other case, the fair market value of the property at the end of February 22, 1994.
Where an elector is deemed by subsection 110.6(19) to have disposed of an interest in a partnership, in computing the adjusted cost base to the elector of the interest immediately before the disposition
there shall be added the amount determined by the formula(A - B) × C/D + E where A is the total of all amounts each of which is the elector’s share of the partnership’s income (other than a taxable capital gain from the disposition of a property) from a source or from sources in a particular place for its fiscal period that includes February 22, 1994, B is the total of all amounts each of which is the elector’s share of the partnership’s loss (other than an allowable capital loss from the disposition of a property) from a source or from sources in a particular place for that fiscal period, C is the number of days in the period that begins the first day of that fiscal period and ends February 22, 1994, D is the number of days in that fiscal period, and E is 4/3 of the amount that would be determined under paragraph 3(b) in computing the elector’s income for the taxation year in which that fiscal period ends if the elector had no taxable capital gains or allowable capital losses other than those arising from dispositions of property by the partnership that occurred before February 23, 1994; and
there shall be deducted the amount that would be determined under paragraph 110.6(23)(a) if the formula in that paragraph were read as“(B - A) × C/D - E”
An election made under subsection 110.6(19) shall be filed with the Minister
where the elector is an individual (other than a trust),
if the election is in respect of a business of the elector, on or before the individual’s filing-due date for the taxation year in which the fiscal period of the business that includes February 22, 1994 ends, and
in any other case, on or before the individual’s balance-due day for the 1994 taxation year; and
where the elector is a personal trust, on or before March 31 of the calendar year following the calendar year in which the taxation year of the trust that includes February 22, 1994 ends.
Subject to subsection 110.6(28), an elector may revoke an election made under subsection 110.6(19) by filing a written notice of the revocation with the Minister before 1998.
Where an election made under subsection 110.6(19) is filed with the Minister after the day (referred to in this subsection and subsections 110.6(27) and 110.6(29) as the “election filing date”) on or before which the election is required by subsection 110.6(24) to have been filed and on or before the day that is 2 years after the election filing date, the election shall be deemed for the purposes of this section (other than subsection 110.6(29)) to have been filed on the election filing date if an estimate of the penalty in respect of the election is paid by the elector when the election is filed with the Minister.
Subject to subsection 110.6(28), an election under subsection 110.6(19) in respect of a property or a business is deemed to be amended and the election, as amended, is deemed for the purpose of this section (other than subsection 110.6(29)) to have been filed on the election filing date if
an amended election in prescribed form in respect of the property or the business is filed with the Minister before 1998; and
an estimate of the penalty, if any, in respect of the amended election is paid by the elector when the amended election is filed with the Minister.
An election under subsection 110.6(19) cannot be revoked or amended where the amount designated in the election exceeds 11/10 of
if the election is in respect of a property other than an interest in a partnership, the fair market value of the property at the end of February 22, 1994;
if the election is in respect of an interest in a partnership, the greater of $1 and the fair market value of the property at the end of February 22, 1994; and
if the election is in respect of a business, the greater of $1 and the fair market value at the end of February 22, 1994 of all the eligible capital property owned at that time by the elector in respect of the business.
The penalty in respect of an election to which subsection 110.6(26) or 110.6(27) applies is the amount determined by the formula(A × B)/300 where A is the number of months each of which is a month all or part of which is during the period that begins the day after the election filing date and ends the day the election or amended election is filed with the Minister; and B is the total of all amounts each of which is the taxable capital gain of the elector or a spouse or common-law partner of the elector that results from the application of subsection 110.6(19) to the property or the business in respect of which the election is made less, where subsection 110.6(27) applies to the election, the total of all amounts each of which would, if the Act were read without reference to subsections 110.6(20) and 110.6(27), be the taxable capital gain of the elector or a spouse or common-law partner of the elector that resulted from the application of subsection 110.6(19) to the property or the business.
The Minister shall, with all due dispatch, examine each election to which subsection 110.6(26) or 110.6(27) applies, assess the penalty payable and send a notice of assessment to the elector who made the election, and the elector shall pay forthwith to the Receiver General the amount, if any, by which the penalty so assessed exceeds the total of all amounts previously paid on account of that penalty.
If an amount is included in an individual’s income for a particular taxation year because of subparagraph 40(1)(a)(ii) in respect of a disposition of property in a preceding taxation year that is qualified farm property, qualified fishing property or a qualified small business corporation share, the total of all amounts deductible by the individual for the particular year under this section is reduced by the amount, if any, determined by the formula A – B where A is the total of all amounts each of which is an amount deductible under this section by the individual for the particular year or a preceding taxation year, computed without reference to this subsection; and B is the total of all amounts each of which is an amount that would be deductible under this section by the individual for the particular year or a preceding taxation year if the individual had not for any preceding taxation year claimed a reserve under subparagraph 40(1)(a)(iii) and had claimed, for each taxation year ending before the particular year, the amount that would have been deductible under this section.

Where, throughout a period (in this section referred to as the “qualifying period”) of not less than 6 consecutive months beginning or ending in a taxation year, a taxpayer who is an individual has resided in one or more particular areas each of which is a prescribed northern zone or prescribed intermediate zone for the year and files for the year a claim in prescribed form, there may be deducted in computing the taxpayer’s taxable income for the year
the total of all amounts each of which is the product obtained by multiplying the specified percentage for a particular area for the year in which the taxpayer so resided by an amount received, or the value of a benefit received or enjoyed, in the year by the taxpayer in respect of the taxpayer’s employment in the particular area by a person with whom the taxpayer was dealing at arm’s length in respect of travel expenses incurred by the taxpayer or another individual who was a member of the taxpayer’s household during the part of the year in which the taxpayer resided in the particular area, to the extent that
neither the taxpayer nor a member of the taxpayer’s household is at any time entitled to a reimbursement or any form of assistance (other than a reimbursement or assistance included in computing the income of the taxpayer or the member) in respect of travel expenses to which subparagraph 110.7(1)(a)(ii) applies; and
the travel expenses were incurred in respect of trips made in the year by the taxpayer or another individual who was a member of the taxpayer’s household during the part of the year in which the taxpayer resided in the particular area, and
is not included in determining an amount deducted under subsection 118.2(1) for the year or any other taxation year,
is included and is not otherwise deducted in computing the taxpayer’s income for the year or any other taxation year, and
does not exceed a prescribed amount in respect of the taxpayer for the period in the year in which the taxpayer resided in the particular area,
the amount received or the value of the benefit, as the case may be,
the lesser of
20% of the taxpayer’s income for the year, and
the total of all amounts each of which is the product obtained by multiplying the specified percentage for a particular area for the year in which the taxpayer so resided by the total of
$8.25 multiplied by the number of days in the year included in the qualifying period in which the taxpayer resided in the particular area, and
$8.25 multiplied by the number of days in the year included in that portion of the qualifying period throughout which the taxpayer maintained and resided in a self-contained domestic establishment in the particular area (except any day included in computing a deduction claimed under this paragraph by another person who resided on that day in the establishment).
For the purpose of subsection 110.7(1), the specified percentage for a particular area for a taxation year is
where the area is a prescribed northern zone for the year, 100%; and
where the area is a prescribed intermediate zone for the year, 50%.
The total determined under paragraph 110.7(1)(a) for a taxpayer in respect of travel expenses incurred in a taxation year in respect of an individual shall not be in respect of more than 2 trips made by the individual in the year, other than trips to obtain medical services that are not available in the locality in which the taxpayer resided.
The amount determined under subparagraph (1)(b)(ii) for a particular area for a taxpayer for a taxation year shall not exceed the amount by which the amount otherwise determined under that subparagraph for the particular area for the year exceeds the value of, or an allowance in respect of expenses incurred by the taxpayer for, the taxpayer’s board and lodging in the particular area (other than at a work site described in paragraph 67.1(2)(e)) that
would, but for subparagraph 6(6)(a)(i), be included in computing the taxpayer’s income for the year; and
can reasonably be considered to be attributable to that portion of the qualifying period that is in the year and during which the taxpayer maintained a self-contained domestic establishment as the taxpayer’s principal place of residence in an area other than a prescribed northern zone or a prescribed intermediate zone for the year.
Where on any day an individual resides in more than one particular area referred to in subsection 110.7(1), for the purpose of that subsection, the individual shall be deemed to reside in only one such area on that day.
For the purpose of computing the taxable income of a taxpayer for a taxation year, there may be deducted such portion as the taxpayer may claim of the taxpayer’s
non-capital losses for the 20 taxation years immediately preceding and the 3 taxation years immediately following the year;
net capital losses for taxation years preceding and the three taxation years immediately following the year;
restricted farm losses for the 20 taxation years immediately preceding and the 3 taxation years immediately following the year, but no amount is deductible for the year in respect of restricted farm losses except to the extent of the taxpayer’s incomes for the year from all farming businesses carried on by the taxpayer;
farm losses for the 20 taxation years immediately preceding and the 3 taxation years immediately following the year; and
limited partnership losses in respect of a partnership for taxation years preceding the year, but no amount is deductible for the year in respect of a limited partnership loss except to the extent of the amount by which

the total of all amounts each of which is
the amount required by subsection 127(8) in respect of the partnership to be added in computing the investment tax credit of the taxpayer for the taxation year,

the taxpayer’s share of
the foreign resource pool expenses, if any, incurred by the partnership in that fiscal period,
the Canadian exploration expense, if any, incurred by the partnership in that fiscal period,
the Canadian development expense, if any, incurred by the partnership in that fiscal period, and
the Canadian oil and gas property expense, if any, incurred by the partnership in that fiscal period.
Notwithstanding paragraph 111(1)(b), the amount that may be deducted under that paragraph in computing a taxpayer’s taxable income for a particular taxation year is the total of
the lesser of
the amount, if any, determined under paragraph 3(b) in respect of the taxpayer for the particular year, and
the total of all amounts each of which is an amount determined by the formula A × B/C where A is the amount claimed under paragraph 111(1)(b) for the particular year by the taxpayer in respect of a net capital loss for a taxation year (in this paragraph referred to as the “loss year”), B is the fraction that would be used for the particular year under section 38 in respect of the taxpayer if the taxpayer had a capital loss for the particular year, and C is the fraction required to be used under section 38 in respect of the taxpayer for the loss year;
where the taxpayer is an individual, the least of
$2,000,

the total of the amounts in respect of the taxpayer’s net capital losses that, using the formula in subparagraph 111(1.1)(a)(ii), would be required to be claimed under paragraph 111(1)(b) for the particular year to produce the amount determined under paragraph 111(1.1)(a) for the particular year; and
the amount, if any, that the Minister determines to be reasonable in the circumstances for the particular year and after considering the application to the taxpayer of subsections 104(21.6), 130.1(4), 131(1) and 138.1(3.2) as they read in their application to the taxpayer’s last taxation year that began before November 2011.
Where a taxpayer dies in a taxation year, for the purpose of computing the taxpayer’s taxable income for that year and the immediately preceding taxation year, the following rules apply:
paragraph 111(1)(b) shall be read as follows:
the taxpayer’s net capital losses for all taxation years not claimed for the purpose of computing the taxpayer’s taxable income for any other taxation year;”; and

all amounts in respect of the taxpayer’s net capital losses that, using the formula in subparagraph 111(2)(a)(ii), would be required to be claimed under paragraph 111(1)(b) for the particular year to produce the amount determined under paragraph 111(2)(a) for the particular year, and
the amount claimed under paragraph 111(1)(b) in respect of the taxpayer’s net capital losses for the particular year
the amount, if any, by which
For the purposes of subsection 111(1),
an amount in respect of a non-capital loss, restricted farm loss, farm loss or limited partnership loss, as the case may be, for a taxation year is deductible, and an amount in respect of a net capital loss for a taxation year may be claimed, in computing the taxable income of a taxpayer for a particular taxation year only to the extent that it exceeds the total of
amounts deducted under this section in respect of that non-capital loss, restricted farm loss, farm loss or limited partnership loss in computing taxable income for taxation years preceding the particular taxation year,
the amount that was claimed under paragraph 111(1)(b) in respect of that net capital loss for taxation years preceding the particular taxation year, and
amounts claimed in respect of that loss under paragraph 186(1)(c) for the year in which the loss was incurred or under paragraph 186(1)(d) for the particular taxation year and taxation years preceding the particular taxation year, and
no amount is deductible in respect of a non-capital loss, net capital loss, restricted farm loss, farm loss or limited partnership loss, as the case may be, for a taxation year until

in the case of a restricted farm loss, the deductible restricted farm losses,
in the case of a farm loss, the deductible farm losses, and
in the case of a limited partnership loss, the deductible limited partnership losses,
Notwithstanding subsection (1), and subject to subsection (5.5), if at any time (in this subsection referred to as “that time”) a taxpayer is subject to a loss restriction event,
no amount in respect of a net capital loss for a taxation year that ended before that time is deductible in computing the taxpayer’s taxable income for a taxation year that ends after that time;
no amount in respect of a net capital loss for a taxation year that ends after that time is deductible in computing the taxpayer’s taxable income for a taxation year that ends before that time;
in computing the adjusted cost base to the taxpayer at and after that time of each capital property, other than a depreciable property, of the taxpayer immediately before that time, there is to be deducted the amount, if any, by which the adjusted cost base to the taxpayer of the property immediately before that time exceeds its fair market value immediately before that time;
each amount required by paragraph (c) to be deducted in computing the adjusted cost base to the taxpayer of a property is deemed to be a capital loss of the taxpayer for the taxation year that ended immediately before that time from the disposition of the property;
if the taxpayer designates — in its return of income under this Part for the taxation year that ended immediately before that time or in a prescribed form filed with the Minister on or before the day that is 90 days after the day on which a notice of assessment of tax payable for the year or notification that no tax is payable for the year is sent to the taxpayer — a property that was a capital property of the taxpayer immediately before that time (other than a property in respect of which an amount would, but for this paragraph, be required by paragraph (c) to be deducted in computing its adjusted cost base to the taxpayer or a depreciable property of a prescribed class to which, but for this paragraph, subsection (5.1) would apply),
the taxpayer is deemed to have disposed of the property at the time that is immediately before the time that is immediately before that time for proceeds of disposition equal to the lesser of
the fair market value of the property immediately before that time, and
the greater of the adjusted cost base to the taxpayer of the property immediately before the disposition and such amount as is designated by the taxpayer in respect of the property,
subject to subparagraph (iii), the taxpayer is deemed to have reacquired the property at that time at a cost equal to those proceeds of disposition, and
if the property is depreciable property of the taxpayer the capital cost of which to the taxpayer immediately before the disposition exceeds those proceeds of disposition, for the purposes of sections 13 and 20 and any regulations made for the purposes of paragraph 20(1)(a),
the capital cost of the property to the taxpayer at that time is deemed to be the amount that was its capital cost immediately before the disposition, and
the excess is deemed to have been allowed to the taxpayer in respect of the property under regulations made for the purposes of paragraph 20(1)(a) in computing the taxpayer’s income for taxation years that ended before that time; and
for the purposes of the definition capital dividend account in subsection 89(1), each amount that because of paragraph (d) or (e) is a capital loss or gain of the taxpayer from a disposition of a property for the taxation year that ended immediately before that time is deemed to be a capital loss or gain, as the case may be, of the taxpayer from the disposition of the property immediately before the time that a capital property of the taxpayer in respect of which paragraph (e) would be applicable would be deemed by that paragraph to have been disposed of by the taxpayer.
If at any time a taxpayer is subject to a loss restriction event,
no amount in respect of the taxpayer’s non-capital loss or farm loss for a taxation year that ended before that time is deductible by the taxpayer for a taxation year that ends after that time, except that the portion of the taxpayer’s non-capital loss or farm loss, as the case may be, for a taxation year that ended before that time as may reasonably be regarded as the taxpayer’s loss from carrying on a business and, if a business was carried on by the taxpayer in that year, the portion of the non-capital loss as may reasonably be regarded as being in respect of an amount deductible under paragraph 110(1)(k) in computing the taxpayer’s taxable income for that year is deductible by the taxpayer for a particular taxation year that ends after that time
only if that business was carried on by the taxpayer for profit or with a reasonable expectation of profit throughout the particular year, and
only to the extent of the total of the taxpayer’s income for the particular year from
that business, and
if properties were sold, leased, rented or developed or services rendered in the course of carrying on that business before that time, any other business substantially all the income of which was derived from the sale, leasing, rental or development, as the case may be, of similar properties or the rendering of similar services; and
no amount in respect of the taxpayer’s non-capital loss or farm loss for a taxation year that ends after that time is deductible by the taxpayer for a taxation year that ended before that time, except that the portion of the taxpayer’s non-capital loss or farm loss, as the case may be, for a taxation year that ended after that time as may reasonably be regarded as the taxpayer’s loss from carrying on a business and, if a business was carried on by the taxpayer in that year, the portion of the non-capital loss as may reasonably be regarded as being in respect of an amount deductible under paragraph 110(1)(k) in computing the taxpayer’s taxable income for that year is deductible by the taxpayer for a particular taxation year that ends before that time
only if throughout the taxation year and in the particular year that business was carried on by the taxpayer for profit or with a reasonable expectation of profit, and
only to the extent of the taxpayer’s income for the particular year from
that business, and
if properties were sold, leased, rented or developed or services rendered in the course of carrying on that business before that time, any other business substantially all the income of which was derived from the sale, leasing, rental or development, as the case may be, of similar properties or the rendering of similar services.
Subject to subsection (5.5), if at any time a taxpayer is subject to a loss restriction event and, if this Act were read without reference to subsection 13(24), the undepreciated capital cost to the taxpayer of depreciable property of a prescribed class immediately before that time would have exceeded the total of
the fair market value of all the property of that class immediately before that time, and
the amount in respect of property of that class otherwise allowed under regulations made under paragraph 20(1)(a) or deductible under subsection 20(16) in computing the taxpayer’s income for the taxation year that ended immediately before that time,
Subject to subsection (5.5), if at any time a taxpayer is subject to a loss restriction event and immediately before that time the taxpayer’s cumulative eligible capital in respect of a business exceeds the total of
the amount otherwise deducted under paragraph 20(1)(b) in computing the taxpayer’s income from the business for the taxation year that ended immediately before that time,
3/4 of the fair market value of the eligible capital property in respect of the business, and
Subject to subsection (5.5), if at any time a taxpayer is subject to a loss restriction event,
no amount may be deducted under paragraph 20(1)(l) in computing the taxpayer’s income for the taxation year that ended immediately before that time; and
in respect of each debt owing to the taxpayer immediately before that time
the amount that is the greatest amount that would, but for this subsection and subsection 26(2) of this Act and subsection 33(1) of the Income Tax Act, chapter 148 of the Revised Statutes of Canada, 1952, have been deductible under paragraph 20(1)(l)
is deemed to be a separate debt, and
notwithstanding any other provision of this Act, is to be deducted as a bad debt under paragraph 20(1)(p) in computing the taxpayer’s income for its taxation year that ended immediately before that time, and
the amount by which the debt exceeds that separate debt is deemed to be a separate debt incurred at the same time and under the same circumstances as the debt was incurred.
Where, at any time, control of a corporation has been acquired by a person or persons, such portion of the corporation’s non-capital loss for a taxation year ending before that time as
was not deductible in computing the corporation’s income for a taxation year ending before that time, and
can reasonably be considered to be a non-capital loss of a subsidiary corporation (in this subsection referred to as the “former subsidiary corporation”) from carrying on a particular business (in this subsection referred to as the “former subsidiary corporation’s loss business”) that was deemed by subsection 88(1.1) of the Income Tax Act, chapter 148 of the Revised Statutes of Canada, 1952, as it read on November 12, 1981 to be the non-capital loss of the corporation for the taxation year of the corporation in which the former subsidiary corporation’s loss year ended
If at any time a taxpayer is subject to a loss restriction event,
paragraphs (4)(c) to (f) and subsections (5.1) to (5.3) do not apply to the taxpayer in respect of the loss restriction event if at that time the taxpayer becomes or ceases to be exempt from tax under this Part on its taxable income; and
if it can reasonably be considered that the main reason that the taxpayer is subject to the loss restriction event is to cause paragraph (4)(d) or any of subsections (5.1) to (5.3) to apply with respect to the loss restriction event, the following do not apply with respect to the loss restriction event:
that provision and paragraph (4)(e), and
if that provision is paragraph (4)(d), paragraph (4)(c).
For the purposes of this section and paragraph 53(1)(i), any loss of a taxpayer for a taxation year from a farming business shall, after the taxpayer disposes of the land used in that farming business and to the extent that the amount of the loss is required by paragraph 53(1)(i) to be added in computing the adjusted cost base to the taxpayer of the land immediately before the disposition, be deemed not to be a loss.
For the purposes of this section, any loss of a taxpayer for a taxation year from a farming business shall, to the extent that the loss is included in the amount of any deduction permitted by section 101 in computing the taxpayer’s income for any subsequent taxation year, be deemed not to be a loss of the taxpayer for the purpose of computing the taxpayer’s taxable income for that subsequent year or any taxation year subsequent thereto.

the trust was not an employee life and health trust for the specified year; or
the trust is an employee life and health trust that, because of the application of subsection 144.1(3), is not permitted to deduct any amount under subsection 104(6) for the specified year.

any loss that the particular corporation or a specified person in relation to the particular corporation may sustain by reason of the ownership, holding or disposition of the share or any other property is limited in any respect, or
the particular corporation or a specified person in relation to the particular corporation will derive earnings by reason of the ownership, holding or disposition of the share or any other property; and
the guarantee agreement was given as part of a transaction or event or a series of transactions or events that included the issuance of the share.

any person or partnership was obligated, either absolutely or contingently, to effect an undertaking, including any guarantee, covenant or agreement to purchase or repurchase the subject share, under which an investor is entitled, either immediately or in the future, to receive or obtain any amount or benefit for the purpose of reducing the impact, in whole or in part, of any loss that an investor may sustain by virtue of the ownership, holding or disposition of the subject share, and any property is used, in whole or in part, either directly or indirectly in any manner whatever, to secure the undertaking; or
the consideration for which the subject share was issued or any other property received, either directly or indirectly, by an issuer from an investor, or any property substituted therefor, is or includes
an obligation of an investor to make payments that are required to be included, in whole or in part, in computing the income of the issuer, other than an obligation of a corporation that, immediately before the subject share was issued, would be related to the corporation that issued the subject share if this Act were read without reference to paragraph 251(5)(b), or
any right to receive payments that are required to be included, in whole or in part, in computing the income of the issuer where that right is held on condition that it or property substituted therefor may revert or pass to an investor or a person or partnership to be determined by an investor,
Subsection 112(2.4) applies only in respect of a dividend on a share where, having regard to all the circumstances, it may reasonably be considered that the share was issued or acquired as part of a transaction or event or a series of transactions or events that enabled any corporation to earn investment income, or any income substituted therefor, and, as a result, the amount of its taxes payable under this Act for a taxation year is less than the amount that its taxes payable under this Act would be for the year if that investment income were the only income of the corporation for the year and all other taxation years and no amount were deductible under subsections 127(5) and 127.2(1) in computing its taxes payable under this Act.

For the purposes of paragraph 112(2.4)(a), any loss that an investor may sustain by virtue of the ownership, holding or disposition of the subject share referred to in that paragraph shall be deemed to include any loss with respect to an obligation or share that was issued or acquired as part of a transaction or event or a series of transactions or events that included the issuance or acquisition of the subject share, or a share for which the subject share was substituted.
For the purposes of subparagraph 112(2.4)(b)(i), where it may reasonably be considered having regard to all the circumstances that a corporation has become related to any other corporation for the purpose of avoiding any limitation on the deduction of a dividend under subsection 112(1), 112(2) or 138(6), the corporation shall be deemed not to be related to the other corporation.

Subject to subsection (13), a gift made by an individual in the particular taxation year in which the individual dies (including, for greater certainty, a gift otherwise deemed by subsection (5), (5.2), (5.3), (7), (7.1), (13) or (15) to have been so made) is deemed, for the purpose of this section other than this subsection, to have been made by the individual in the preceding taxation year, and not in the particular year, to the extent that an amount in respect of the gift is not deducted in computing the individual’s tax payable under this Part for the particular year.
Subject to subsection 118.1(13), where an individual by the individual’s will makes a gift, the gift is, for the purpose of this section, deemed to have been made by the individual immediately before the individual died.
Subsection (5.2) applies to an individual in respect of a life insurance policy where
the policy is a life insurance policy under which, immediately before the individual’s death, the individual’s life was insured;
a transfer of money, or a transfer by means of a negotiable instrument, is made as a consequence of the individual’s death and solely because of the obligations under the policy, from an insurer to a qualified donee (other than a transfer the amount of which is not included in computing the income of the individual or the individual’s estate for any taxation year but would have been included in computing the income of the individual or the individual’s estate for a taxation year if the transfer had been made to the individual’s legal representative for the benefit of the individual’s estate and this Act were read without reference to subsection 70(3));
the transfer occurs within the 36 month period that begins at the time of the death (or, where written application to extend the period has been made to the Minister by the individual’s legal representative, within such longer period as the Minister considers reasonable in the circumstances).
the donee was neither a policyholder under the policy, nor an assignee of the individual’s interest under the policy; and
the individual’s consent would have been required to change the recipient of the transfer described in paragraph (b), and
immediately before the individual’s death,
Where this subsection applies,
for the purpose of this section (other than subsection (5.1) and this paragraph) and section 149.1, the transfer described in subsection (5.1) is deemed to be a gift made, immediately before the individual’s death, by the individual to the qualified donee referred to in subsection (5.1); and
the fair market value of the gift is deemed to be the fair market value, at the time of the individual’s death, of the right to that transfer (determined without reference to any risk of default with regard to obligations of the insurer).
If as a consequence of an individual’s death, a transfer of money, or a transfer by means of a negotiable instrument, is made, from an arrangement (other than an arrangement of which a licensed annuities provider is the issuer or carrier) that is a registered retirement savings plan or registered retirement income fund or that was, immediately before the individual’s death, a TFSA to a qualified donee, solely because of the donee’s interest or, for civil law, a right as a beneficiary under the arrangement, the individual was the annuitant under, or the holder of, the arrangement immediately before the individual’s death and the transfer occurs within the 36-month period that begins at the time of the death (or, where written application to extend the period has been made to the Minister by the individual’s legal representative, within such longer period as the Minister considers reasonable in the circumstances),
the fair market value of the gift is deemed to be the fair market value, at the time of the individual’s death, of the right to the transfer (determined without reference to any risk of default with regard to the obligations of the issuer or carrier of the arrangement).
for the purposes of this section (other than this paragraph) and section 149.1, the transfer is deemed to be a gift made, immediately before the individual’s death, by the individual to the donee; and
Subsection (6) applies in circumstances where
an individual
makes a gift (by the individual’s will or otherwise) at any time of capital property to a qualified donee, or
who is non-resident, makes a gift (by the individual’s will or otherwise) at any time of real or immovable property situated in Canada to a prescribed donee who provides an undertaking, in a form satisfactory to the Minister, to the effect that the property will be held for use in the public interest; and
the fair market value of the property otherwise determined at that time exceeds
in the case of depreciable property of a prescribed class, the lesser of the undepreciated capital cost of that class at the end of the taxation year of the individual that includes that time (determined without reference to proceeds of disposition designated in respect of the property under subsection (6)) and the adjusted cost base to the individual of the property immediately before that time, and
in any other case, the adjusted cost base to the individual of the property immediately before that time.
If this subsection applies in respect of a gift by an individual of property, and the individual or the individual’s legal representative designates an amount in respect of the gift in the individual’s return of income under section 150 for the year in which the gift is made, the amount so designated is deemed to be the individual’s proceeds of disposition of the property and, for the purpose of subsection 248(31), the fair market value of the gift, but the amount so designated may not exceed the fair market value of the property otherwise determined and may not be less than the greater of
in the case of a gift made after December 20, 2002, the amount of the advantage, if any, in respect of the gift, and
the amount determined under subparagraph (5.4)(b)(i) or (ii), as the case may be, in respect of the property.
Except where subsection (7.1) applies, where at any time, whether by the individual’s will or otherwise, an individual makes a gift described in the definition total charitable gifts or total Crown gifts in subsection (1) of a work of art that was
created by the individual and that is property in the individual’s inventory, or
acquired under circumstances where subsection 70(3) applied,
where the gift is made as a consequence of the death of the individual, the gift is deemed to have been made immediately before the death, and
the cost amount to the individual of the work of art.
the amount of the advantage, if any, in respect of the gift, and
the amount that the individual or the individual’s legal representative designates in the individual’s return of income under section 150 for the year in which the gift is made is deemed to be the individual’s proceeds of disposition of the work of art and, for the purpose of subsection 248(31), the fair market value of the work of art, but the amount so designated may not exceed the fair market value otherwise determined of the work of art and may not be less than the greater of
Where at any particular time, whether by the individual’s will or otherwise, an individual makes a gift described in the definition total cultural gifts in subsection (1) of a work of art that was
created by the individual and that is property in the individual’s inventory, or
acquired under circumstances where subsection 70(3) applied,
the individual is deemed to have received at the particular time proceeds of disposition in respect of the work of art equal to the greater of its cost amount to the individual at that time and the amount of the advantage, if any, in respect of the gift.
where the gift is made as a consequence of the death of the individual, the individual is deemed to have made the gift immediately before the death, and
If at the end of a fiscal period of a partnership an individual is a member of the partnership, the individual’s share of any amount that would, if the partnership were a person, be the eligible amount of a gift made by the partnership to any donee is, for the purpose of this section, deemed to be the eligible amount of a gift made to that donee by the individual in the individual’s taxation year in which the fiscal period of the partnership ends.
Where throughout a taxation year an individual resided in Canada near the boundary between Canada and the United States, if
the individual commuted to the individual’s principal place of employment or business in the United States, and
the individual’s chief source of income for the year was that employment or business,
For the purposes of paragraph 110.1(1)(c) and the definition total cultural gifts in subsection 118.1(1), the fair market value of an object is deemed to be the fair market value determined by the Canadian Cultural Property Export Review Board.
For the purposes of subparagraph 69(1)(b)(ii), subsection 70(5) and sections 110.1, 207.31 and this section, where at any time the Canadian Cultural Property Export Review Board or the Minister of the Environment determines or redetermines an amount to be the fair market value of a property that is the subject of a gift described in paragraph 110.1(1)(a), or in the definition total charitable gifts in subsection (1), made by a taxpayer within the two-year period that begins at that time, an amount equal to the last amount so determined or redetermined within the period is deemed to be the fair market value of the gift at the time the gift was made and, subject to subsections (6), (7), (7.1) and 110.1(3), to be the taxpayer’s proceeds of disposition of the gift.
Where a person disposes or proposes to dispose of a property that would, if the disposition were made and the certificates described in paragraph 110.1(1)(d) or in the definition total ecological gifts in subsection (1) were issued by the Minister of the Environment, be a gift described in those provisions, the person may request, by notice in writing to that Minister, a determination of the fair market value of the property.
In response to a request made under subsection (10.2), the Minister of the Environment shall with all due dispatch make a determination in accordance with subsection (12) or 110.1(5), as the case may be, of the fair market value of the property referred to in that request and give notice of the determination in writing to the person who has disposed of, or who proposes to dispose of, the property, except that no such determination shall be made if the request is received by that Minister after three years after the end of the person’s taxation year in which the disposition occurred.
Where the Minister of the Environment has, under subsection (10.3), notified a person of the amount determined by that Minister to be the fair market value of a property in respect of its disposition or proposed disposition,
that Minister shall, on receipt of a written request made by the person on or before the day that is 90 days after the day that the person was so notified of the first such determination, with all due dispatch confirm or redetermine the fair market value;
that Minister may, on that Minister’s own initiative, at any time redetermine the fair market value;
that Minister shall in either case notify the person in writing of that Minister’s confirmation or redetermination; and
any such redetermination is deemed to replace all preceding determinations and redeterminations of the fair market value of that property from the time at which the first such determination was made.
Where the Minister of the Environment determines under subsection (10.3) the fair market value of a property, or redetermines that value under subsection (10.4), and the property has been disposed of to a qualified donee described in paragraph 110.1(1)(d) or in the definition total ecological gifts in subsection (1), that Minister shall issue to the person who made the disposition a certificate that states the fair market value of the property so determined or redetermined and, where more than one certificate has been so issued, the last certificate is deemed to replace all preceding certificates from the time at which the first certificate was issued.
Notwithstanding subsections 152(4) to (5), such assessments or reassessments of a taxpayer’s tax, interest or penalties payable under this Act for any taxation year shall be made as are necessary to give effect
to a certificate issued under subsection 33(1) of the Cultural Property Export and Import Act or to a decision of a court resulting from an appeal made pursuant to section 33.1 of that Act; or
to a certificate issued under subsection (10.5) or to a decision of a court resulting from an appeal made pursuant to subsection 169(1.1).
For the purposes of applying subparagraph 69(1)(b)(ii), subsection 70(5), this section and section 207.31 in respect of a gift described in the definition total ecological gifts in subsection (1) that is made by an individual, the amount that is the fair market value (or, for the purpose of subsection (6), the fair market value otherwise determined) of the gift at the time the gift was made and, subject to subsection (6), the individual’s proceeds of disposition of the gift, is deemed to be the amount determined by the Minister of the Environment to be
where the gift is land, the fair market value of the gift; or
where the gift is a servitude, covenant or easement to which land is subject, the greater of
the fair market value otherwise determined of the gift, and
the amount by which the fair market value of the land is reduced as a result of the making of the gift.
For the purpose of this section (other than this subsection), where at any particular time an individual makes a gift (including a gift that, but for this subsection and subsection 118.1(4), would be deemed by subsection 118.1(5) to be made at the particular time) of a non-qualifying security of the individual and the gift is not an excepted gift,
except for the purpose of applying subsection 118.1(6) to determine the individual’s proceeds of disposition of the security, the gift is deemed not to have been made;
if the security ceases to be a non-qualifying security of the individual at a subsequent time that is within 60 months after the particular time and the donee has not disposed of the security at or before the subsequent time, the individual is deemed to have made a gift to the donee of property at the subsequent time and the fair market value of that property is deemed to be the lesser of the fair market value of the security at the subsequent time and the fair market value of the security at the particular time that would, if this Act were read without reference to this subsection, have been included in calculating the individual’s total charitable gifts or total Crown gifts for a taxation year;
if the security is disposed of by the donee within 60 months after the particular time and paragraph (b) does not apply to the security, the individual is deemed to have made a gift to the donee of property at the time of the disposition and the fair market value of that property is deemed to be the lesser of the fair market value of any consideration (other than a non-qualifying security of any person) received by the donee for the disposition and the fair market value of the security at the particular time that would, if this Act were read without reference to this subsection, have been included in calculating the individual’s total charitable gifts or total Crown gifts for a taxation year; and
a designation under subsection 118.1(6) or 110.1(3) in respect of the gift made at the particular time may be made in the individual’s return of income for the year that includes the subsequent time referred to in paragraph 118.1(13)(b) or the time of the disposition referred to in paragraph 118.1(13)(c).
Subsection (13.2) applies if, as part of a series of transactions,
an individual makes, at a particular time, a gift of a particular property to a qualified donee;
a particular person holds a non-qualifying security of the individual; and
the qualified donee acquires, directly or indirectly, a non-qualifying security of the individual or of the particular person.
If this subsection applies,
for the purposes of this section, the fair market value of the particular property is deemed to be reduced by an amount equal to the fair market value of the non-qualifying security acquired by the qualified donee; and
for the purposes of subsection (13),
if the non-qualifying security acquired by the qualified donee is a non-qualifying security of the particular person, it is deemed to be a non-qualifying security of the individual,
the individual is deemed to have made, at the particular time referred to in subsection (13.1), a gift of the non-qualifying security acquired by the qualified donee, the fair market value of which does not exceed the amount, if any, by which exceeds
the fair market value of the particular property determined without reference to paragraph (a)
the fair market value of the particular property determined under paragraph (a), and
paragraph (13)(b) does not apply in respect of the gift.
For the purposes of subsections (13.1) and (13.2), if, as part of a series of transactions, an individual makes a gift to a qualified donee and the qualified donee acquires a non-qualifying security of a person (other than the individual or particular person referred to in subsection (13.1)) and it may reasonably be considered, having regard to all the circumstances, that one of the purposes or results of the acquisition of the non-qualifying security by the qualified donee was to facilitate, directly or indirectly, the making of the gift by the individual, then the non-qualifying security acquired by the qualified donee is deemed to be a non-qualifying security of the individual.
Where a share (in this subsection referred to as the “new share”) that is a non-qualifying security of an individual has been acquired by a donee referred to in subsection 118.1(13) in exchange for another share (in this subsection referred to as the “original share”) that is a non-qualifying security of the individual by means of a transaction to which section 51, subparagraphs 85.1(1)(a)(i) and 85.1(1)(a)(ii) or section 86 or 87 applies, the new share is deemed for the purposes of this subsection and subsection 118.1(13) to be the same share as the original share.
Where a donee disposes of a beneficial interest in a trust that is a non-qualifying security of an individual in circumstances where paragraph (13)(c) would, but for this subsection, apply in respect of the disposition, and in respect of which the donee receives no consideration other than other non-qualifying securities of the individual, for the purpose of subsection (13) the gift referred to in that subsection is to be read as a reference to a gift of those other non-qualifying securities.
If, but for this subsection, an individual would be deemed by subsection 118.1(13) to have made a gift after the individual’s death, for the purpose of this section the individual is deemed to have made the gift in the taxation year in which the individual died, except that the amount of interest payable under any provision of this Act is the amount that it would be if this subsection did not apply to the gift.
For the purpose of this section, where
at any particular time an individual makes a gift of property,
if the property is a non-qualifying security of the individual, the gift is an excepted gift, and
within 60 months after the particular time
the donee holds a non-qualifying security of the individual that was acquired by the donee after the time that is 60 months before the particular time, or
the individual or any person or partnership with which the individual does not deal at arm’s length uses property of the donee under an agreement that was made or modified after the time that is 60 months before the particular time, and the property was not used in the carrying on of the donee’s charitable activities,
For the purpose of applying subsection (16) to determine the fair market value of a gift made at any time by a taxpayer, the fair market value of consideration given to acquire property described in subparagraph (16)(c)(i) or of property described in subparagraph (16)(c)(ii) is deemed to be that value otherwise determined minus any portion of it that has been applied under that subsection to reduce the fair market value of another gift made before that time by the taxpayer.
For the purposes of this section, non-qualifying security of an individual at any time means
an obligation (other than an obligation of a financial institution to repay an amount deposited with the institution or an obligation listed on a designated stock exchange) of the individual or the individual’s estate or of any person or partnership with which the individual or the estate does not deal at arm’s length immediately after that time;
a share (other than a share listed on a designated stock exchange) of the capital stock of a corporation with which the individual or the estate or, where the individual is a trust, a person affiliated with the trust, does not deal at arm’s length immediately after that time;
a beneficial interest of the individual or the estate in a trust that
immediately after that time is affiliated with the individual or the estate, or
holds, immediately after that time, a non-qualifying security of the individual or estate, or held, at or before that time, a share described in paragraph (b) that is, after that time, held by the donee; or
any other security (other than a security listed on a designated stock exchange) issued by the individual or the estate or by any person or partnership with which the individ-ual or the estate does not deal at arm’s length (or, in the case where the person is a trust, with which the individual or estate is affiliated) immediately after that time.
For the purposes of this section, a gift made by a taxpayer is an excepted gift if
the security is a share;
the donee is not a private foundation;
the taxpayer deals at arm’s length with the donee; and
where the donee is a charitable organization or a public foundation, the taxpayer deals at arm’s length with each director, trustee, officer and like official of the donee.
For the purpose of subsection 118.1(18), financial institution means a corporation that is
a member of the Canadian Payments Association; or
a credit union that is a shareholder or member of a body corporate or organization that is a central for the purposes of the Canadian Payments Association Act.
Subject to subsections (23) and (24), if an individual has granted an option to a qualified donee in a taxation year, no amount in respect of the option is to be included in computing the total charitable gifts, total Crown gifts, total cultural gifts or total ecological gifts in respect of the individual for any year.
Subsection (23) applies if
an option to acquire a property of an individual is granted to a qualified donee;
the option is exercised so that the property is disposed of by the individual and acquired by the qualified donee at a particular time; and
either
the amount that is 80% of the fair market value of the property at the particular time is greater than or equal to the total of
the consideration received by the individual from the qualified donee for the property, and
the consideration received by the individual from the qualified donee for the option, or
the individual establishes to the satisfaction of the Minister that the granting of the option or the disposition of the property was made by the individual with the intention to make a gift to the qualified donee.
If this subsection applies, notwithstanding subsection 49(3),
the individual is deemed to have received proceeds of disposition of the property equal to the property’s fair market value at the particular time; and
there shall be included in the individual’s total charitable gifts, for the taxation year that includes the particular time, the amount by which the property’s fair market value exceeds the total described in subparagraph (22)(c)(i).
If an option to acquire a particular property of an individual is granted to a qualified donee and the option is disposed of by the qualified donee (otherwise than by the exercise of the option) at a particular time
the individual is deemed to have disposed of a property at the particular time
the adjusted cost base of which to the individual immediately before the particular time is equal to the consideration, if any, paid by the qualified donee for the option, and
the proceeds of disposition of which are equal to the lesser of the fair market value of the particular property at the particular time and the fair market value of any consideration (other than a non-qualifying security of any person) received by the qualified donee for the option; and
there shall be included in the total charitable gifts of the individual for the individual’s taxation year that includes the particular time the amount, if any, by which the proceeds of disposition as determined by paragraph (a) exceed the consideration, if any, paid by the donee for the option.
Subsection (26) applies if a qualified donee has issued to an individual a receipt referred to in subsection (2) in respect of a transfer of a property (in this subsection and subsection (26) referred to as the “original property”) and a particular property that is
the original property is later transferred to the individual (unless that later transfer is reasonable consideration or remuneration for property acquired by or services rendered to a person); or
any other property that may reasonably be considered compensation for or a substitute for, in whole or in part, the original property, is later transferred to the individual.
If this subsection applies, then
irrespective of whether the transfer of the original property by the individual to the qualified donee referred to in subsection (25) was a gift, the individual is deemed not to have disposed of the original property at the time of that transfer nor to have made a gift;
if the particular property is identical to the original property, the particular property is deemed to be the original property; and
if the particular property is not the original property, then
the individual is deemed to have disposed of the original property at the time that the particular property is transferred to the individual for proceeds of disposition equal to the greater of the fair market value of the particular property at that time and the fair market value of the original property at the time that it was transferred by the individual to the donee, and
if the transfer of the original property by the individual would be a gift if this section were read without reference to paragraph (a), the individual is deemed to have, at the time of that transfer, transferred to the donee a property that is the subject of a gift having a fair market value equal to the amount, if any, by which the fair market value of the original property at the time of that transfer exceeds the fair market value of the particular property at the time that it is transferred to the individual.
If subsection (26) applies in respect of a transfer of property to an individual and that property has a fair market value greater than $50, the transferor must file an information return containing prescribed information with the Minister not later than 90 days after the day on which the property was transferred and provide a copy of the return to the individual.
If subsection (26) applies in respect of a transfer of property to an individual, the Minister may reassess a return of income of any person to the extent that the reassessment can reasonably be regarded as relating to the transfer.
For the purpose of computing the tax payable under this Part by an individual for a taxation year, there may be deducted the amount determined by the formula A x [(B - C) + D] where A is the appropriate percentage for the taxation year; B is the total of the individual’s medical expenses in respect of the individual, the individual’s spouse or common-law partner or a child of the individual who has not attained the age of 18 years before the end of the taxation year that are evidenced by receipts filed with the Minister, that were not included in determining an amount under this subsection, section 64 or subsection 122.51(2), for a preceding taxation year, that are not included in determining an amount under this subsection, section 64 or subsection 122.51(2), by any other taxpayer for any taxation year, and that were paid by the individual or the individual’s legal representative within any period of 12 months that ends in the taxation year or, if those expenses were in respect of a person (including the individual) who died in the taxation year, within any period of 24 months that includes the day of the person’s death; C is the lesser of $1,813 and 3% of the individual’s income for the taxation year; and D is the total of all amounts each of which is, in respect of a dependant of the individual (within the meaning assigned by subsection 118(6), other than a child of the individual who has not attained the age of 18 years before the end of the taxation year), the amount determined by the formula E - F where E is the total of the individual’s medical expenses in respect of the dependant that are evidenced by receipts filed with the Minister, that were not included in determining an amount under this subsection, or subsection 122.51(2), in respect of the individual for a preceding taxation year, that are not included in determining an amount under this subsection, or subsection 122.51(2), by any other taxpayer for any taxation year, and that were paid by the individual or the individual’s legal representative within the period referred to in paragraph (d) of the description of B; and F is the lesser of $1,813 and 3% of the dependant’s income for the taxation year.

For the purpose of subsection (10.1), a particular corporation’s expenditure limit for a particular taxation year is the amount determined by the formula($8 million - 10A) × [($40 million - B)/$40 million] where A is the greater of$500,000, and the amount that is if the particular corporation is not associated with any other corporation in the particular taxation year, the particular corporation’s taxable income for its immediately preceding taxation year (determined before taking into consideration the specified future tax consequences for that preceding year), or if the particular corporation is associated with one or more other corporations in the particular taxation year, the total of all amounts each of which is the taxable income of the particular corporation for its, or of one of the other corporations for its, last taxation year that ended in the last calendar year that ended before the end of the particular taxation year (determined before taking into consideration the specified future tax consequences for that last taxation year), and B is nil, if the following amount is less than or equal to $10 million: if the particular corporation is not associated with any other corporation in the particular taxation year, the amount that is its taxable capital employed in Canada (within the meaning assigned by section 181.2 or 181.3) for its immediately preceding taxation year, or if the particular corporation is associated with one or more other corporations in the particular taxation year, the amount that is the total of all amounts, each of which is the taxable capital employed in Canada (within the meaning assigned by section 181.2 or 181.3) of the particular corporation for its, or of one of the other corporations for its, last taxation year that ended in the last calendar year that ended before the end of the particular taxation year, or in any other case, the lesser of $40 million and the amount by which the amount determined under subparagraph (a)(i) or (ii), as the case may be, exceeds $10 million.

If a particular Canadian-controlled private corporation is associated with another corporation in circumstances where those corporations would not be associated if the Act were read without reference to paragraph 256(1.2)(a), the particular corporation has issued shares to one or more persons who have been issued shares by the other corporation and there is at least one shareholder of the particular corporation who is not a shareholder of the other corporation or one shareholder of the other corporation who is not a shareholder of the particular corporation, the particular corporation is deemed not to be associated with the other corporation for the purpose of determining the particular corporation’s expenditure limit under subsection (10.2).
Subsection (10.22) applies to the particular corporation and the other corporation referred to in that subsection only if the Minister is satisfied that
the particular corporation and the other corporation are not otherwise associated under this Act; and

If any of the Canadian-controlled private corporations that are associated with each other in a taxation year fails to file with the Minister an agreement as contemplated by subsection 127(10.3) within 30 days after notice in writing by the Minister is forwarded to any of them that such an agreement is required for the purposes of this Part, the Minister shall, for the purpose of subsection 127(10.1), allocate an amount to one or more of them for the year, which amount or the total of which amounts, as the case may be, shall equal the amount determined for the year by the formula in subsection 127(10.2), and in any such case the expenditure limit for the year of each of the corporations is the amount so allocated to it.
Notwithstanding any other provision of this section,
for the purpose of subsection (10.2), where a Canadian-controlled private corporation has a taxation year that is less than 51 weeks, the taxable income of the corporation for the year shall be determined by multiplying that amount by the ratio that 365 is of the number of days in that year.
where a Canadian-controlled private corporation has a taxation year that is less than 51 weeks, its expenditure limit for the year is that proportion of its expenditure limit for the year determined without reference to this paragraph that the number of days in the year is of 365; and
where a Canadian-controlled private corporation (in this paragraph referred to as the “first corporation”) has more than one taxation year ending in the same calendar year and it is associated in two or more of those taxation years with another Canadian-controlled private corporation that has a taxation year ending in that calendar year, the expenditure limit of the first corporation for each taxation year in which it is associated with the other corporation ending in that calendar year is, subject to the application of paragraph 127(10.6)(b), an amount equal to its expenditure limit for the first such taxation year determined without reference to paragraph 127(10.6)(b);

the amount determined under subsection 127(10.1) in respect of the taxpayer for that preceding year.

a taxpayer acquired a particular property from a person or partnership in a taxation year or in any of the 10 preceding taxation years,
the cost of the particular property was a qualified expenditure to the taxpayer,
all or part of the qualified expenditure can reasonably be considered to have been the subject of an agreement made under subsection (13) by the taxpayer and another taxpayer (in this subsection referred to as the “transferee”), and

the amount that can reasonably be considered to have been included in computing the transferee’s investment tax credit in respect of the qualified expenditure that was the subject of the agreement, and
the amount determined by the formula A × B - C where A is the percentage applied by the transferee in determining its investment tax credit in respect of the qualified expenditure that was the subject of the agreement, B is where the particular property or the other property is disposed of to a person who deals at arm’s length with the taxpayer, the proceeds of disposition of that property, and in any other case, the fair market value of the particular property or the other property at the time of the conversion or disposition, and C is the amount, if any, added to the taxpayer’s tax payable under subsection (27) in respect of the particular property.

included, in respect of the property, in the investment tax credit of the original user, or
where the original user is a partnership, that can reasonably be considered to have been included in respect of the property in computing the amount determined under subsection (8) in respect of the original user, and
the amount determined by applying the percentage that was applied by the original user in determining the amount referred to in paragraph (c) to
if the property or the other property is disposed of to a person who deals at arm’s length with the purchaser, the proceeds of disposition of that property, and
in any other case, the fair market value of the property or the other property at the time of the conversion or disposition.
Where, at any particular time in a fiscal period and after February 23, 1998, a purchaser is a partnership that converts to commercial use, or disposes of without having previously converted to commercial use, a property
that was acquired by the purchaser in circumstances described in subsection (33) or that is another property that incorporates a property acquired in such circumstances, and
that was first acquired, or that incorporates a property that was first acquired, by a person or partnership (in this subsection referred to as the “original user”) with which the purchaser did not deal at arm’s length at the time at which the purchaser acquired the property, in the original user’s taxation year or fiscal period that includes the particular time (on the assumption that the original user had such a taxation year or fiscal period) or in any of the original user’s 10 preceding taxation years or fiscal periods,

For the purpose of applying each of subsection (27) or (29) in respect of a taxpayer, subsection (28) in respect of a partnership or subsection (34) or (35) in respect of a purchaser and an original user, as the case may be, (which taxpayer, partnership or original user is, in this subsection, referred to as the “taxpayer”), the reference to “10” in that subsection is to be read as a reference to the number that is the lesser of
20, and
the number that is the total of 10 and the number of taxation years or fiscal periods, as the case may be, by which the number of taxation years or fiscal periods of the taxpayer that have ended after 1997 exceeds 11.

For the purposes of this Act, where at a particular time a taxpayer becomes resident in Canada,
where the taxpayer is a corporation or a trust,
the taxpayer’s taxation year that would otherwise include the particular time shall be deemed to have ended immediately before the particular time and a new taxation year of the taxpayer shall be deemed to have begun at the particular time, and
for the purpose of determining the taxpayer’s fiscal period after the particular time, the taxpayer shall be deemed not to have established a fiscal period before the particular time;
the taxpayer is deemed to have disposed, at the time (in this subsection referred to as the “time of disposition”) that is immediately before the time that is immediately before the particular time, of each property owned by the taxpayer, other than, if the taxpayer is an individual,
property that is a taxable Canadian property,
property that is described in the inventory of a business carried on by the taxpayer in Canada at the time of disposition,
eligible capital property in respect of a business carried on by the taxpayer in Canada at the time of disposition, and
an excluded right or interest of the taxpayer (other than an interest in a non-resident testamentary trust that was never acquired for consideration),
[Repealed, 2001, c. 17, s. 123(2)]
the taxpayer shall be deemed to have acquired at the particular time each property deemed by paragraph 128.1(1)(b) to have been disposed of by the taxpayer, at a cost equal to the proceeds of disposition of the property;
if the taxpayer is a particular corporation that immediately before the time of disposition owned a share of the capital stock of another corporation resident in Canada, a dividend is deemed to have been paid by the other corporation, and received by the particular corporation, immediately before the time of disposition, equal to the amount, if any, by which the fair market value of the share immediately before the time of disposition exceeds the total of
the paid-up capital in respect of the share immediately before the time of disposition, and
if the share immediately before the time of disposition was taxable Canadian property that is not treaty-protected property, the amount by which, at the time of disposition, the fair market value of the share exceeds its cost amount;
if the taxpayer is a corporation and an amount has been added to the paid-up capital in respect of a class of shares of the corporation’s capital stock because of paragraph (2)(b),
the corporation is deemed to have paid, immediately before the time of disposition, a dividend on the issued shares of the class equal to the amount of the paid-up capital adjustment in respect of the class, and
a dividend is deemed to have been received, immediately before the time of disposition, by each person (other than a person in respect of whom the corporation is a foreign affiliate) who held any of the issued shares of the class equal to that proportion of the dividend so deemed to have been paid that the number of shares of the class held by the person immediately before the time of disposition is of the number of issued shares of the class outstanding immediately before the time of disposition;
if the taxpayer is a corporation that was, immediately before the particular time, controlled by a particular non-resident corporation and the taxpayer owned, immediately before the particular time, one or more shares of one or more non-resident corporations (each of which is in this paragraph referred to as a “subject affiliate”) that, immediately after the particular time, were — or that became, as part of a transaction or event or series of transactions or events that includes the taxpayer having become resident in Canada — foreign affiliates of the taxpayer, then
in computing the paid-up capital, at any time after the time that is immediately after the particular time, of any particular class of shares of the capital stock of the taxpayer there is to be deducted the amount determined by the formula A × B/C where A is the lesser of the paid-up capital in respect of all of the shares of the capital stock of the taxpayer at the time that is immediately after the particular time, and the total of all amounts each of which is the fair market value at the particular time of a share of the capital stock of a subject affiliate owned by the taxpayer at the particular time, or an amount owing by the subject affiliate to the taxpayer at the particular time, B is the paid-up capital in respect of the particular class of shares of the capital stock of the taxpayer at the time that is immediately after the particular time, and C is the paid-up capital in respect of all the shares of the capital stock of the taxpayer at the time that is immediately after the particular time, and
for the purposes of Part XIII, the taxpayer is deemed, immediately after the particular time, to have paid to the particular non-resident corporation, and the particular non-resident corporation is deemed, immediately after the particular time, to have received from the taxpayer, a dividend equal to the amount, if any, by which the amount determined under clause (B) of the description of A in subparagraph (i) exceeds the amount determined under clause (A) of the description of A in subparagraph (i); and
where the taxpayer was, immediately before the particular time, a foreign affiliate of another taxpayer that is resident in Canada,
the affiliate is deemed to have been a controlled foreign affiliate of the other taxpayer immediately before the particular time, and
the prescribed amount is to be included in the foreign accrual property income of the affiliate for its taxation year that ends immediately before the particular time.
Paragraph (1)(b) does not apply, at a time in a trust’s particular taxation year, to the trust if the trust is resident in Canada for the particular taxation year for the purpose of computing its income.
If a corporation becomes resident in Canada at a particular time,
for the purposes of subsection (1) and this subsection, the paid-up capital adjustment in respect of a particular class of shares of the corporation’s capital stock in respect of that acquisition of residence is the positive or negative amount determined by the formula(A × B/C) - D where A is the amount, if any, by which the total of all amounts each of which is an amount deemed by paragraph (1)(c) to be the cost to the corporation of property deemed under that paragraph to have been acquired by the corporation at the particular time exceeds the total of all amounts each of which is the amount of a debt owing by the corporation, or any other obligation of the corporation to pay an amount, that is outstanding at the particular time, B is the fair market value at the particular time of all of the shares of the particular class, C is the total of all amounts each of which is the fair market value at the particular time of all of the shares of a class of shares of the corporation’s capital stock, and D is the paid-up capital at the particular time, determined without reference to this subsection, in respect of the particular class; and
for the purposes of this Act, in computing the paid-up capital in respect of a class of shares of the corporation’s capital stock at any time after the particular time and before the time, if any, at which the corporation next becomes resident in Canada, there shall be
added the amount of the paid-up capital adjustment in respect of the particular class, if that amount is positive and the corporation so elects for all such classes in respect of that acquisition of residence by notifying the Minister in writing within 90 days after the particular time, and
deducted, if the amount of the paid-up capital adjustment in respect of the particular class is negative, the absolute value of that amount.
In computing the paid-up capital at any time in respect of a class of shares of the capital stock of a corporation
there is to be deducted an amount equal to the lesser of A and B, and added an amount equal to the lesser of A and C, where A is the absolute value of the difference between the total of all amounts deemed by subsection 84(3), (4) or (4.1) to be a dividend on shares of the class paid before that time by the corporation, and the total that would be determined under subparagraph (i) if this Act were read without reference to subsection (2), B is the total of all amounts required by subsection (2) to be added in computing the paid-up capital in respect of the class before that time, and C is the total of all amounts required by subsection (2) to be deducted in computing the paid-up capital in respect of the class before that time; and
there is to be added an amount equal to the lesser of
the amount, if any, by which exceeds
the total of all amounts deemed by subsection 84(3), (4) or (4.1) to be a dividend on shares of the class paid after March 28, 2012 and before that time by the corporation
the total that would be determined under clause (A) if this Act were read without reference to subparagraph (c.3)(i), and
the total of all amounts required by subparagraph (c.3)(i) to be deducted in computing the paid-up capital in respect of the class before that time.
For the purposes of this Act, where at a particular time a taxpayer ceases to be resident in Canada,
where the taxpayer is a corporation or a trust,
the taxpayer’s taxation year that would otherwise include the particular time shall be deemed to have ended immediately before the particular time and a new taxation year of the taxpayer shall be deemed to have begun at the particular time, and
for the purpose of determining the taxpayer’s fiscal period after the particular time, the taxpayer shall be deemed not to have established a fiscal period before the particular time;
if the taxpayer is an individual (other than a trust) and carries on a business at the particular time, otherwise than through a permanent establishment (as defined by regulation) in Canada,
the fiscal period of the business is deemed to have ended immediately before the particular time and a new fiscal period of the business is deemed to have begun at the particular time, and
for the purpose of determining the fiscal period of the business after the particular time, the taxpayer is deemed not to have established a fiscal period of the business before the particular time;
the taxpayer is deemed to have disposed, at the time (in this paragraph and paragraph (d) referred to as the “time of disposition”) that is immediately before the time that is immediately before the particular time, of each property owned by the taxpayer other than, if the taxpayer is an individual,
real or immovable property situated in Canada, a Canadian resource property or a timber resource property,
capital property used in, eligible capital property in respect of or property described in the inventory of, a business carried on by the taxpayer through a permanent establishment (as defined by regulation) in Canada at the particular time,
an excluded right or interest of the taxpayer,
if the taxpayer is not a trust and was not, during the 120-month period that ends at the particular time, resident in Canada for more than 60 months, property that was owned by the taxpayer at the time the taxpayer last became resident in Canada or that was acquired by the taxpayer by inheritance or bequest after the taxpayer last became resident in Canada, and
any property in respect of which the taxpayer elects under paragraph (6)(a) for the taxation year that includes the first time, after the particular time, at which the taxpayer becomes resident in Canada,
notwithstanding paragraph (b), if the taxpayer is or was at any time an employee life and health trust,
the taxpayer is deemed
to have disposed, at the time (in this paragraph referred to as the “time of disposition”) that is immediately before the time that is immediately before the particular time, of each property owned by the taxpayer for proceeds equal to its fair market value at the time of disposition, which proceeds are deemed to have become receivable and to have been received by the taxpayer at the time of disposition, and
to have carried on a business at the time of disposition, and
each property of the taxpayer is deemed
to have been described in the inventory of the business referred to in clause (i)(B), and
to have a cost of nil at the time of disposition;
the taxpayer is deemed to have reacquired, at the particular time, each property deemed by paragraph (b) or (b.1) to have been disposed of by the taxpayer, at a cost equal to the proceeds of disposition of the property;
notwithstanding paragraphs (b) to (c), if the taxpayer is an individual (other than a trust) and so elects in prescribed form and manner in respect of a property described in subparagraph (b)(i) or (ii),
the taxpayer is deemed to have disposed of the property at the time of disposition for proceeds equal to its fair market value at that time and to have reacquired the property at the particular time at a cost equal to those proceeds,
the taxpayer’s income for the taxation year that includes the particular time is deemed to be the greater of
that income determined without reference to this subparagraph, and
the lesser of
that income determined without reference to this subsection, and
that income determined without reference to subparagraph (i), and
each of the taxpayer’s non-capital loss, net capital loss, restricted farm loss, farm loss and limited partnership loss for the taxation year that includes the particular time is deemed to be the lesser of
that amount determined without reference to this subparagraph, and
the greater of
that amount determined without reference to this subsection, and
that amount determined without reference to subparagraph (i); and
if the taxpayer is deemed by paragraph (b) to have disposed of a share that was acquired before February 28, 2000 under circumstances to which subsection 7(1.1) applied, there shall be deducted from the taxpayer’s proceeds of disposition the amount that would, if section 7 were read without reference to subsection 7(1.6), be added under paragraph 53(1)(j) in computing the adjusted cost base to the taxpayer of the share as a consequence of the deemed disposition.
[Repealed, 2001, c. 17, s. 123(4)]
If an individual is deemed by subsection (4) to have disposed of a property in a taxation year, in applying sections 155 and 156 and subsections 156.1(1) to (3) and 161(2), (4) and (4.01) and any regulations made for the purposes of those provisions, the individual’s total tax payable under this Part for the year is deemed to be the lesser of
the individual’s total tax payable under this Part for the year, determined before taking into consideration the specified future tax consequences for the year, and
the amount that would be determined under paragraph (a) if subsection (4) did not apply to the individual for the year.
If an individual (other than a trust) becomes resident in Canada at a particular time in a taxation year and the last time (in this subsection referred to as the “emigration time”), before the particular time, at which the individual ceased to be resident in Canada was after October 1, 1996,
subject to paragraph (b), if the individual so elects in writing and files the election with the Minister on or before the individual’s filing-due date for the year, paragraphs (4)(b) and (c) do not apply to the individual’s cessation of residence at the emigration time in respect of all properties that were taxable Canadian properties of the individual throughout the period that began at the emigration time and that ends at the particular time;
where, if a property in respect of which an election under paragraph (a) is made had been acquired by the individual at the emigration time at a cost equal to its fair market value at the emigration time and had been disposed of by the individual immediately before the particular time for proceeds of disposition equal to its fair market value immediately before the particular time, the application of subsection 40(3.7) would reduce the amount that would, but for that subsection and this subsection, be the individual’s loss from the disposition,
the individual is deemed to have disposed of the property at the time of disposition (within the meaning assigned by paragraph (4)(b)) in respect of the emigration time for proceeds of disposition equal to the total of
the adjusted cost base to the individual of the property immediately before the time of disposition, and
the amount, if any, by which that reduction exceeds the lesser of
the adjusted cost base to the individual of the property immediately before the time of disposition, and
the amount, if any, that the individual specifies for the purposes of this paragraph in the election under paragraph (a) in respect of the property,
the individual is deemed to have reacquired the property at the emigration time at a cost equal to the amount, if any, by which the amount determined under clause (i)(A) exceeds the lesser of that reduction and the amount specified by the individual under subclause (i)(B)(II), and
for the purpose of section 119, the individual is deemed to have disposed of the property immediately before the particular time;
if the individual so elects in writing and files the election with the Minister on or before the individual’s filing-due date for the year, in respect of each property that the individual owned throughout the period that began at the emigration time and that ends at the particular time and that is deemed by paragraph (1)(b) to have been disposed of because the individual became resident in Canada, notwithstanding paragraphs (1)(c) and (4)(b) the individual’s proceeds of disposition at the time of disposition (within the meaning assigned by paragraph (4)(b)), and the individual’s cost of acquiring the property at the particular time, are deemed to be those proceeds and that cost, determined without reference to this paragraph, minus the least of
the amount that would, but for this paragraph, have been the individual’s gain from the disposition of the property deemed by paragraph (4)(b) to have occurred,
the fair market value of the property at the particular time, and
the amount that the individual specifies for the purposes of this paragraph in the election; and
notwithstanding subsections 152(4) to (5), any assessment of tax that is payable under this Act by the individual for any taxation year that is before the year that includes the particular time and that is not before the year that includes the emigration time shall be made that is necessary to take an election under this subsection into account, except that no such assessment shall affect the computation of
interest payable under this Act to or by a taxpayer in respect of any period that is before the day on which the taxpayer’s return of income for the taxation year that includes the particular time is filed, or
any penalty payable under this Act.
For the purposes of paragraph (6)(a), a property is deemed to be taxable Canadian property of the individual throughout the period that began at the emigration time and that ends at the particular time if
the emigration time is before March 5, 2010; and
the property was taxable Canadian property of the individual on March 4, 2010.
If an individual (other than a trust)
becomes resident in Canada at a particular time in a taxation year,
owns at the particular time a property that the individual last acquired on a trust distribution to which subsection 107(2) would, but for subsection 107(5), have applied and at a time (in this subsection referred to as the “distribution time”) that was after October 1, 1996 and before the particular time, and
was a beneficiary of the trust at the last time, before the particular time, at which the individual ceased to be resident in Canada,
subject to paragraphs (e) and (f), if the individual and the trust jointly so elect in writing and file the election with the Minister on or before the earlier of their filing-due dates for their taxation years that include the particular time, subsection 107(2.1) does not apply to the distribution in respect of all properties acquired by the individual on the distribution that were taxable Canadian properties of the individual throughout the period that began at the distribution time and that ends at the particular time,
paragraph (f) applies in respect of the individual, the trust and a property in respect of which an election under paragraph (d) is made where, if the individual
had been resident in Canada at the distribution time,
had acquired the property at the distribution time at a cost equal to its fair market value at that time,
had ceased to be resident in Canada immediately after the distribution time, and
had, immediately before the particular time, disposed of the property for proceeds of disposition equal to its fair market value immediately before the particular time,
where this paragraph applies in respect of an individual, a trust and a property,
notwithstanding paragraph 107(2.1)(a), the trust is deemed to have disposed of the property at the distribution time for proceeds of disposition equal to the total of
the cost amount to the trust of the property immediately before the distribution time, and
the amount, if any, by which the reduction under subsection 40(3.7) described in paragraph (e) exceeds the lesser of
the cost amount to the trust of the property immediately before the distribution time, and
the amount, if any, which the individual and the trust jointly specify for the purposes of this paragraph in the election under paragraph (d) in respect of the property, and
notwithstanding paragraph 107(2.1)(b), the individual is deemed to have acquired the property at the distribution time at a cost equal to the amount, if any, by which the amount otherwise determined under paragraph 107(2)(b) exceeds the lesser of the reduction under subsection 40(3.7) described in paragraph (e) and the amount specified under subclause (i)(B)(II),
if the individual and the trust jointly so elect in writing and file the election with the Minister on or before the later of their filing-due dates for their taxation years that include the particular time, in respect of each property that the individual owned throughout the period that began at the distribution time and that ends at the particular time and that is deemed by paragraph (1)(b) to have been disposed of because the individual became resident in Canada, notwithstanding paragraphs 107(2.1)(a) and (b), the trust’s proceeds of disposition under paragraph 107(2.1)(a) at the distribution time, and the individual’s cost of acquiring the property at the particular time, are deemed to be those proceeds and that cost determined without reference to this paragraph, minus the least of
the amount that would, but for this paragraph, have been the trust’s gain from the disposition of the property deemed by paragraph 107(2.1)(a) to have occurred,
the fair market value of the property at the particular time, and
the amount that the individual and the trust jointly specify for the purposes of this paragraph in the election,
if the trust ceases to exist before the individual’s filing-due date for the individual’s taxation year that includes the particular time,
an election or specification described in this subsection may be made by the individual alone in writing if the election is filed with the Minister on or before that filing-due date, and
if the individual alone makes such an election or specification, the individual and the trust are jointly and severally, or solidarily, liable for any amount payable under this Act by the trust as a result of the election or specification, and
notwithstanding subsections 152(4) to (5), such assessment of tax payable under the Act by the trust or the individual for any year that is before the year that includes the particular time and that is not before the year that includes the distribution time shall be made as is necessary to take an election under this subsection into account, except that no such assessment shall affect the computation of
interest payable under this Act to or by the trust or the individual in respect of any period that is before the individual’s filing-due date for the taxation year that includes the particular time, or
any penalty payable under this Act.
If an individual (other than a trust)
was deemed by paragraph (4)(b) to have disposed of a capital property at any particular time after October 1, 1996,
has disposed of the property at a later time at which the property was a taxable Canadian property of the individual, and
so elects in writing in the individual’s return of income for the taxation year that includes the later time,
the amount specified in respect of the property in the election,
the amount that would, but for the election, be the individual’s gain from the disposition of the property at the particular time, and
the amount that would be the individual’s loss from the disposition of the property at the later time, if the loss were determined having reference to every other provision of this Act including, for greater certainty, subsection 40(3.7) and section 112, but without reference to the election.
An individual who ceases at a particular time in a taxation year to be resident in Canada, and who owns immediately after the particular time one or more reportable properties the total fair market value of which at the particular time is greater than $25,000, shall file with the Minister in prescribed form, on or before the individual’s filing-due date for the year, a list of all the reportable properties that the individual owned immediately after the particular time.

1/3 of all taxable dividends paid by the corporation on shares of its capital stock in the year and at a time when it was a private corporation, and

shall, with all due dispatch, make the dividend refund after sending the notice of assessment if an application for it has been made in writing by the corporation within the period within which the Minister would be allowed under subsection 152(4) to assess tax payable under this Part by the corporation for the year if that subsection were read without reference to paragraph 152(4)(a).
In determining the dividend refund for a taxation year ending after 1977 of a particular corporation, no amount may be included by virtue of subparagraph 129(1)(a)(i) in respect of a taxable dividend paid to a shareholder that

Where a dividend is paid on a share of the capital stock of a corporation and the share (or another share for which the share was substituted) was acquired by its holder in a transaction or as part of a series of transactions one of the main purposes of which was to enable the corporation to obtain a dividend refund, the dividend shall, for the purpose of subsection 129(1), be deemed not to be a taxable dividend.
Instead of making a refund that might otherwise be made under subsection 129(1), the Minister may, where the corporation is liable or about to become liable to make any payment under this Act, apply the amount that would otherwise be refundable to that other liability and notify the corporation of that action.
Where a dividend refund for a taxation year is paid to, or applied to a liability of, a corporation, the Minister shall pay or apply interest on the refund at the prescribed rate for the period beginning on the day that is the later of
the day that is 120 days after the end of the year, and

the amount by which the interest that was so paid or applied exceeds the interest, if any, computed in respect of the amount that is determined at the subsequent time to be the dividend refund shall be deemed to be an amount (in this subsection referred to as the “amount payable”) that became payable under this Part by the corporation at the particular time;
the corporation shall pay to the Receiver General interest at the prescribed rate on the amount payable, computed from the particular time to the day of payment; and
the Minister may at any time assess the corporation in respect of the amount payable and, where the Minister makes such an assessment, the provisions of Divisions I and J apply, with such modifications as the circumstances require, in respect of the assessment as though it had been made under section 152.

where the dividend is paid to a shareholder who is a non-resident person or a partnership that is not a Canadian partnership,

the TCP gains distribution is a taxable dividend that, except for the purpose of the definition of capital gains dividend account in subsection (6), is not a capital gains dividend.
Subsection (5.1) applies to a dividend paid by a mutual fund corporation in a taxation year only if more than 5% of the dividend is received by or on behalf of shareholders each of whom is a non-resident person or is a partnership that is not a Canadian partnership.

Where a trust was, throughout a taxation year, a mutual fund trust and a return of its income for the year has been made within 3 years from the end of the year, the Minister
may, on sending the notice of assessment for the year, refund an amount (in this subsection referred to as its “capital gains refund” for the year) equal to the lesser of
the total of
14.5% of the total of the trust’s capital gains redemptions for the year, and
the amount, if any, that the Minister determines to be reasonable in the circumstances, after giving consideration to the percentages applicable in determining the trust’s capital gains refunds for the year and preceding taxation years and the percentages applicable in determining the trust’s refundable capital gains tax on hand at the end of the year, and
the trust’s refundable capital gains tax on hand at the end of the year; and
shall, with all due dispatch, make that capital gains refund after sending the notice of assessment if an application for it has been made in writing by the trust within the period within which the Minister would be allowed under subsection 152(4) to assess tax payable under this Part by the trust for the year if that subsection were read without reference to paragraph 152(4)(a).
Instead of making a refund that might otherwise be made under subsection 132(1) the Minister may, where the trust is liable or about to become liable to make any payment under this Act, apply the amount that would otherwise be refunded to that other liability and notify the trust of that action.
If a capital gains refund for a taxation year is paid to, or applied to a liability of, a mutual fund trust, the Minister shall pay or apply interest on the refund at the prescribed rate for the period beginning on the day that is 30 days after the later of
the day that is 90 days after the end of the year, and
the day on which the trust’s return of income under this Part for the year was filed under section 150
Where at any particular time interest has been paid to, or applied to a liability of, a trust under subsection 132(2.1) in respect of a capital gains refund and it is determined at a subsequent time that the capital gains refund was less than that in respect of which interest was so paid or applied,
the amount by which the interest that was so paid or applied exceeds the interest, if any, computed in respect of the amount that is determined at the subsequent time to be the capital gains refund shall be deemed to be an amount (in this subsection referred to as the “amount payable”) that became payable under this Part by the trust at the particular time;
the trust shall pay to the Receiver General interest at the prescribed rate on the amount payable, computed from the particular time to the day of payment; and
the Minister may at any time assess the trust in respect of the amount payable and, where the Minister makes such an assessment, the provisions of Divisions I and J apply, with such modifications as the circumstances require, in respect of the assessment as though it had been made under section 152.

one half of the TCP gains distribution is to be added to the amount otherwise included under subsection 104(13) in computing the income of the beneficiary, and is deemed to be an amount to which paragraph 212(1)(c) applies.
Subsection (5.1) applies to an amount designated under subsection 104(21) by a mutual fund trust for a taxation year only if more than 5% of the total of all amounts each of which is an amount designated under that subsection by the mutual fund trust for the taxation year was designated in respect of beneficiaries under the mutual fund trust each of whom is a non-resident person or is a partnership that is not a Canadian partnership.
Subject to subsection 132(7), for the purposes of this section, a trust is a mutual fund trust at any time if at that time
it was a unit trust resident in Canada,
its only undertaking was
the investing of its funds in property (other than real property or an interest in real property or an immovable or a real right in an immovable),
the acquiring, holding, maintaining, improving, leasing or managing of any real property (or interest in real property) or of any immovable (or real right in immovables) that is capital property of the trust, or
any combination of the activities described in subparagraphs 132(6)(b)(i) and 132(6)(b)(ii), and
it complied with prescribed conditions.
Where a trust becomes a mutual fund trust at any particular time before the 91st day after the end of its first taxation year, and the trust so elects in its return of income for that year, the trust is deemed to have been a mutual fund trust from the beginning of that year until the particular time.
A trust is deemed to be a mutual fund trust throughout a calendar year where
at any time in the year, the trust would, if this section were read without reference to this subsection, have ceased to be a mutual fund trust
because the condition described in paragraph 108(2)(a) ceased to be satisfied,
because of the application of paragraph (6)(c), or
because the trust ceased to exist;
the trust was a mutual fund trust at the beginning of the year; and
the trust would, throughout the portion of the year throughout which it was in existence, have been a mutual fund trust if
in the case where the condition described in paragraph 108(2)(a) was satisfied at any time in the year, that condition were satisfied throughout the year,
subsection (6) were read without reference to paragraph (c) of that subsection, and
this section were read without reference to this subsection.
Where, at any time, it can reasonably be considered that a trust, having regard to all the circumstances, including the terms and conditions of the units of the trust, was established or is maintained primarily for the benefit of non-resident persons, the trust shall be deemed not to be a mutual fund trust after that time unless
at that time, all or substantially all of its property consisted of property other than property that would be taxable Canadian property if the definition taxable Canadian property in subsection 248(1) were read without reference to paragraph (b) of that definition; or
it has not issued any unit (other than a unit issued to a person as a payment, or in satisfaction of the person’s right to enforce payment, of an amount out of the trust’s income determined before the application of subsection 104(6), or out of the trust’s capital gains) of the trust after February 20, 1990 and before that time to a person who, after reasonable inquiry, it had reason to believe was non-resident, except where the unit was issued to that person under an agreement in writing entered into before February 21, 1990.
Where a trust in its return of income under this Part for a taxation year throughout which it was a mutual fund trust designates an amount in respect of a particular unit of the trust owned by a taxpayer at any time in the year equal to the total of
such amount as the trust may determine in respect of the particular unit for the year not exceeding the amount, if any, by which
the total of all amounts that were determined by the trust under subsection 104(16) of the Income Tax Act, chapter 148 of the Revised Statutes of Canada, 1952, for taxation years of the trust commencing before 1988
exceeds
the total of all amounts determined by the trust under this paragraph for the year or a preceding taxation year in respect of all units of the trust, other than amounts determined in respect of the particular unit for the year under this paragraph, and
such amount as the trust may determine in respect of the particular unit for the year not exceeding the amount, if any, by which
the total of all amounts described in subparagraph 53(2)(h)(i.1) that became payable by the trust after 1987 and before the year
exceeds
the total of all amounts determined by the trust under this paragraph for the year or a preceding taxation year in respect of all units of the trust, other than amounts determined in respect of the particular unit for the year under this paragraph,
the amount so designated shall
subject to subsection 132.1(3), be deductible in computing the income of the trust for the year, and
be included in computing the income of the taxpayer for the taxpayer’s taxation year in which the year of the trust ends, except that where the particular unit was owned by two or more taxpayers during the year, such part of the amount so designated as the trust may determine shall be included in computing the income of each such taxpayer for the taxpayer’s taxation year in which the year of the trust ends if the total of the parts so determined is equal to the amount so designated.
In computing, at any time in a taxation year of a taxpayer, the adjusted cost base to the taxpayer of a unit in a mutual fund trust, there shall be added that part of the amount included under subsection 132.1(1) in computing the taxpayer’s income that is reasonably attributable to the amount determined under paragraph 132.1(1)(b) by the trust for its taxation year ending in the year in respect of the unit owned by the taxpayer.
The total of amounts deductible by reason of paragraph 132.1(1)(c) in computing the income of a trust for a taxation year shall not exceed the amount that would be the income of the trust for the year if no deductions were made under this section and subsection 104(6).
The amount, if any, by which the total of all amounts each of which is an amount designated for the year under subsection 132.1(1) exceeds the amount deductible under this section in computing the income of the trust for the year, shall, for the purposes of paragraph 132.1(1)(c) and subsection 132.1(3), be deemed designated under subsection 132.1(1) by the trust for its immediately following taxation year.
Where it is reasonable to conclude that an amount determined by a mutual fund trust
under paragraph 132.1(1)(a) or 132.1(1)(b) for a taxation year of the trust in respect of a unit owned at any time in the year by a taxpayer who was a person exempt from tax under this Part by reason of subsection 149(1), or
under paragraph 132.1(1)(d) for the year in respect of the amount designated under subsection 132.1(1) for the year in respect of the unit
differs from the amount that would have been so determined for the year in respect of the taxpayer had the taxpayer not been a person exempt from tax under this Part by reason of subsection 149(1), the amount designated for the year in respect of the unit under subsection 132.1(1) shall have no effect for the purposes of paragraph 132.1(1)(c).
Notwithstanding any other provision of this Act, where a trust (other than a prescribed trust) that was a mutual fund trust on the 74th day after the end of a particular calendar year so elects in writing filed with the Minister with the trust’s return of income for the trust’s taxation year that includes December 15 of the particular year,
the trust’s taxation year that began before December 16 of the particular year and, but for this paragraph, would end at the end of the particular year (or, where the first taxation year of the trust began after December 15 of the preceding calendar year and no return of income was filed for a taxation year of the trust that ended at the end of the preceding calendar year, at the end of the preceding calendar year) is deemed to end at the end of December 15 of the particular year;
if the trust’s taxation year ends on December 15 because of paragraph (a), subject to subsection (1.1), each subsequent taxation year of the trust is deemed to be the period that begins at the beginning of December 16 of a calendar year and ends at the end of December 15 of the following calendar year or at any earlier time that is determined under paragraph 132.2(3)(b) or subsection 142.6(1); and
each fiscal period of the trust that begins in a taxation year of the trust that ends on December 15 because of paragraph (a) or that ends in a subsequent taxation year of the trust shall end no later than the end of the year or the subsequent year, as the case may be.
Where a particular taxation year of a trust ends on December 15 of a calendar year because of an election made under paragraph (1)(a), the trust applies to the Minister in writing before December 15 of that calendar year (or before a later time that is acceptable to the Minister) to have this subsection apply to the trust, with the concurrence of the Minister
the trust’s taxation year following the particular taxation year is deemed to begin immediately after the end of the particular taxation year and end at the end of that calendar year; and
each subsequent taxation year of the trust is deemed to be determined as if that election had not been made.
Where a trust is a member of a partnership a fiscal period of which ends in a calendar year after December 15 of the year and a particular taxation year of the trust ends on December 15 of the year because of subsection (1), each amount otherwise determined under paragraph 96(1)(f) or (g) to be the trust’s income or loss for a subsequent taxation year of the trust is deemed to be the trust’s income or loss determined under paragraph 96(1)(f) or (g) for the particular year and not for the subsequent year.
Where a particular trust is a beneficiary under another trust a taxation year of which (in this subsection referred to as the “other year”) ends in a calendar year after December 15 of the year and a particular taxation year of the trust ends on December 15 of the year because of subsection (1), each amount determined or designated under subsection 104(13), (19), (21), (22) or (29) for the other year that would otherwise be included, or taken into account, in computing the income of the particular trust for a subsequent taxation year of the trust shall
be included, or taken into account, in computing the particular trust’s income for the particular year; and
not be included, or taken into account, in computing the particular trust’s income for the subsequent year.
Notwithstanding subsection 104(24), for the purposes of subsections (5) and (6) and 104(6) and (13) and paragraph (i) of the definition disposition in subsection 248(1) each amount that is paid, or that becomes payable, by a trust to a beneficiary after the end of a particular taxation year of the trust that ends on December 15 of a calendar year because of subsection (1) and before the end of that calendar year, is deemed to have been paid or to have become payable, as the case may be, to the beneficiary at the end of the particular year and not at any other time.
Where an amount is deemed by subsection (4) to have been paid or to have become payable at the end of December 15 of a calendar year by a trust to a beneficiary who was not a beneficiary under the trust at that time,
notwithstanding any other provision of this Act, where the beneficiary did not exist at that time, except for the purpose of this paragraph, the first taxation year of the beneficiary is deemed to include the period that begins at that time and ends immediately before the beginning of the first taxation year of the beneficiary;
the beneficiary is deemed to exist throughout the period described in paragraph (a); and
where the beneficiary was not a beneficiary under the trust at that time, the beneficiary is deemed to have been a beneficiary under the trust at that time.
Where a particular amount is designated under this subsection by a trust in its return of income for a particular taxation year that ends on December 15 because of subsection (1) or throughout which the trust was a mutual fund trust and the trust does not designate an amount under subsection 104(13.1) or (13.2) for the particular year,
the particular amount shall be added in computing its income for the particular year; and
for the purposes of subsections 104(6) and (13), each portion of the particular amount that is allocated under this paragraph to a beneficiary under the trust in the trust’s return of income for the particular year in respect of an amount paid or payable to the beneficiary in the particular year shall be considered to be additional income of the trust for the particular year (determined without reference to subsection 104(6)) that was paid or payable, as the case may be, to the beneficiary at the end of the particular year.
[Repealed, 2001, c. 17, s. 130(4)]
Subject to subsection (8), the lesser of the amount designated under subsection (6) by a trust for a taxation year and the total of all amounts each of which is allocated by the trust under paragraph (6)(b) in respect of the year shall be deducted in computing the trust’s income for the following taxation year.
Subsection (7) does not apply in computing the income of a trust for a taxation year where it is reasonable to consider that the designation under subsection (6) for the preceding taxation year was part of a series of transactions or events that includes a change in the composition of beneficiaries under the trust.
The following definitions apply in this section.
first post-exchange year, of a fund in respect of a qualifying exchange, means the taxation year of the fund that begins immediately after the acquisition time.
qualifying exchange means a transfer at any time (in this section referred to as the “transfer time”) of all or substantially all of the property of a mutual fund corporation (other than a SIFT wind-up corporation) or a mutual fund trust to a mutual fund trust (in this section referred to as the “transferor” and “transferee”, respectively, and as the “funds”) if
all or substantially all of the shares issued by the transferor and outstanding immediately before the transfer time are within 60 days after the transfer time disposed of to the transferor;
no person disposing of shares of the transferor to the transferor within that 60-day period (otherwise than pursuant to the exercise of a statutory right of dissent) receives any consideration for the shares other than units of the transferee; and
the funds jointly so elect, by filing a prescribed form with the Minister on or before the election’s due date.
In respect of a qualifying exchange, a time referred to in the following list immediately follows the time that precedes it in the list
the transfer time;
the first intervening time;
the acquisition time;
the beginning of the funds’ first post-exchange years;
the depreciables disposition time;
the second intervening time; and
the depreciables acquisition time.
In respect of a qualifying exchange,
each property of a fund, other than property disposed of by the transferor to the transferee at the transfer time and depreciable property, is deemed to have been disposed of, and to have been reacquired by the fund, at the first intervening time, for an amount equal to the lesser of
the fair market value of the property at the transfer time, and
the greater of
its cost amount, and
the amount that the fund designates in respect of the property in a notification to the Minister accompanying the election in respect of the qualifying exchange;
subject to paragraph (l), the last taxation years of the funds that began before the transfer time are deemed to have ended at the acquisition time, and their first post-exchange years are deemed to have begun immediately after those last taxation years ended;
each depreciable property of a fund (other than property to which subsection (5) applies and property to which paragraph (d) would, if this Act were read without reference to this paragraph, apply) is deemed to have been disposed of, and to have been reacquired, by the fund at the second intervening time for an amount equal to the lesser of
the fair market value of the property at the depreciables disposition time, and
the greater of
the lesser of its capital cost and its cost amount to the disposing fund at the depreciables disposition time, and
the amount that the fund designates in respect of the property in a notification to the Minister accompanying the election in respect of the qualifying exchange;
if at the second intervening time the undepreciated capital cost to a fund of depreciable property of a prescribed class exceeds the fair market value of all the property of that class, the excess is to be deducted in computing the fund’s income for the taxation year that includes the transfer time and is deemed to have been allowed in respect of property of that class under regulations made for the purpose of paragraph 20(1)(a);
except as provided in paragraph (m), the transferor’s cost of any particular property received by the transferor from the transferee as consideration for the disposition of the property is deemed to be
nil, if the particular property is a unit of the transferee, and
the particular property’s fair market value at the transfer time, in any other case;
the transferor’s proceeds of disposition of any units of the transferee that were disposed of by the transferor at any particular time that is within 60 days after the transfer time in exchange for shares of the transferor, are deemed to be equal to the cost amount of the units to the transferor immediately before the particular time;
if, at any particular time that is within 60 days after the transfer time, a taxpayer disposes of shares of the transferor to the transferor in exchange for units of the transferee
the taxpayer’s proceeds of disposition of the shares and the cost to the taxpayer of the units are deemed to be equal to the cost amount to the taxpayer of the shares immediately before the particular time,
for the purposes of applying section 116 in respect of the disposition, the shares are deemed to be excluded property of the taxpayer,
where the qualifying exchange occurs after 2004, for the purposes of applying section 218.3 in respect of that exchange, the payment or crediting of the units to the taxpayer by the transferor is deemed not to be an assessable distribution,
where all of the taxpayer’s shares of the transferor have been so disposed of, for the purpose of applying section 39.1 in respect of the taxpayer after that disposition, the transferee is deemed to be the same entity as the transferor,
for the purpose of the definition designated beneficiary in section 210, the units are deemed not to have been held at any time by the transferor, and
where the taxpayer is at the particular time affiliated with one or both of the funds,
those units are deemed not to be identical to any other units of the transferee,
if the taxpayer is the transferee, and the units cease to exist when the taxpayer acquires them (or, for greater certainty, when the taxpayer would but for that cessation have acquired them), the taxpayer is deemed
to have acquired those units at the particular time, and
to have disposed of those units immediately after the particular time for proceeds of disposition equal to the cost amount to the taxpayer of those units at the particular time, and
in any other case, for the purpose of computing any gain or loss of the taxpayer from the taxpayer’s first disposition, after the particular time, of each of those units,
if that disposition is a renunciation or surrender of the unit by the taxpayer for no consideration, and is not in favour of any person other than the transferee, the taxpayer’s proceeds of disposition of that unit are deemed to be equal to that unit’s cost amount to the taxpayer immediately before that disposition, and
if subclause (I) does not apply, the taxpayer’s proceeds of disposition of that unit are deemed to be equal to the greater of that unit’s fair market value and its cost amount to the taxpayer immediately before that disposition;
where a share to which paragraph (g) applies would, if this Act were read without reference to this paragraph, cease to be a qualified investment (within the meaning assigned by subsection 146(1), 146.1(1) or 146.3(1), section 204 or subsection 205(1) or 207.01(1)) as a consequence of the qualifying exchange, the share is deemed to be a qualified investment until the earlier of the day that is 60 days after the day that includes the transfer time and the time at which it is disposed of in accordance with paragraph (g);
there shall be added to the amount determined under the description of A in the definition refundable capital gains tax on hand in subsection 132(4) in respect of the transferee for its taxation years that begin after the transfer time the amount, if any, by which
the transferor’s capital gains refund (within the meaning assigned by paragraph 131(2)(a) or 132(1)(a), as the case may be) for that year;
the transferor’s refundable capital gains tax on hand (within the meaning assigned by subsection 131(6) or 132(4), as the case may be) at the end of its taxation year that includes the transfer time

if the transferor is a mutual fund trust, for the purposes of subsections 132.1(1) and (3) to (5), the transferee is deemed after the transfer time to be the same mutual fund trust as, and a continuation of, the transferor;
if the transferor is a mutual fund corporation
for the purpose of subsection 131(4) but, for greater certainty, without having any effect on the computation of any amount determined under this Part, the transferor is deemed in respect of any share disposed of in accordance with paragraph (g) to be a mutual fund corporation at the time of the disposition, and
for the purpose of Part I.3 but, for greater certainty, without having any effect on the computation of any amount determined under this Part, the transferor’s taxation year that, if this Act were read without reference to this paragraph, would have included the transfer time is deemed to have ended immediately before the transfer time;
for the purpose of determining the funds’ capital gains redemptions (as defined in subsection 131(6) or 132(4), as the case may be), for their taxation years that include the transfer time,
the total of the cost amounts to the transferor of all its properties at the end of the year is deemed to be the total of all amounts each of which is
the transferor’s proceeds of disposition of a property that was transferred to a transferee on the qualifying exchange, or
the cost amount to the transferor at the end of the year of a property that was not transferred on the qualifying exchange, and
the transferee is deemed not to have acquired any property that was transferred to it on the qualifying exchange; and
except as provided in subparagraph (l)(i), the transferor is, notwithstanding subsections 131(8) and 132(6), deemed to be neither a mutual fund corporation nor a mutual fund trust for taxation years that begin after the transfer time.
If a transferor transfers a property, other than a depreciable property, to a transferee in a qualifying exchange,
the transferee is deemed to have acquired the property at the acquisition time and not to have acquired the property at the transfer time; and
the transferor’s proceeds of disposition of the property and the transferee’s cost of the property are deemed to be the lesser of
the fair market value of the property at the transfer time, and
the greatest of
the cost amount to the transferor of the property at the transfer time,
the amount that the funds agree on in respect of the property in their election, and
the fair market value at the transfer time of the consideration (other than units of the transferee) received by the transferor for the disposition of the property.
If a transferor transfers a depreciable property to a transferee in a qualifying exchange,
the transferor is deemed to have disposed of the property at the depreciables disposition time, and not to have disposed of the property at the transfer time;
the transferee is deemed to have acquired the property at the depreciables acquisition time, and not to have acquired the property at the transfer time;
the transferor’s proceeds of disposition of the property and the transferee’s cost of the property are deemed to be the lesser of
the fair market value of the property at the transfer time, and
the greatest of
the lesser of its capital cost and its cost amount to the transferor immediately before the depreciables disposition time,
the amount that the funds agree on in respect of the property in their election, and
the fair market value at the transfer time of the consideration (other than units of the transferee) received by the transferor for the disposition of the property;
where the capital cost of the property to the transferor exceeds the transferor’s proceeds of disposition of the property under paragraph (c), for the purposes of sections 13 and 20 and any regulations made for the purpose of paragraph 20(1)(a),
the property’s capital cost to the transferee is deemed to be the amount that was its capital cost to the transferor, and
the excess is deemed to have been allowed to the transferee in respect of the property under regulations made for the purpose of paragraph 20(1)(a) in computing income for taxation years ending before the transfer time; and
where two or more depreciable properties of a prescribed class are disposed of by the transferor to the transferee in the same qualifying exchange, paragraph (c) applies as if each property so disposed of had been separately disposed of in the order designated by the transferor at the time of making the election in respect of the qualifying exchange or, if the transferor does not so designate any such order, in the order designated by the Minister.
The due date of an election referred to in paragraph (c) of the definition qualifying exchange in subsection (1) is
the day that is six months after the day that includes the transfer time; and
on joint application by the funds, any later day that the Minister accepts.
The Minister may, on joint application by the funds on or before the due date of an election referred to in paragraph (c) of the definition qualifying exchange in subsection (1), grant permission to amend or revoke the election.
In computing the income of a non-resident-owned investment corporation for a taxation year,
no deduction may be made in respect of interest on its bonds, debentures, securities or other indebtedness, and
no deduction may be made under subsection 65(1),
and its income and taxable income shall be computed as if
the only taxable capital gains and allowable capital losses referred to in paragraph 3(b) were from dispositions of taxable Canadian property,
any taxable capital gain or allowable capital loss of the corporation were an amount equal to twice the amount thereof otherwise determined, and
subsection 83(2) were read without reference to paragraph 83(2)(b).
In computing the taxable income of a non-resident-owned investment corporation for a taxation year, no deduction may be made from its income for the year, except
interest received in the year from other non-resident-owned investment corporations;
taxes paid to the government of a country other than Canada in respect of any part of the income of the corporation for the year derived from sources therein; and
net capital losses as provided for by section 111.
The tax payable under this Part by a corporation for a taxation year when it was a non-resident-owned investment corporation is an amount equal to 25% of its taxable income for the year.
No deduction from the tax payable under this Part by a non-resident-owned investment corporation may be made under section 124 or in respect of taxes paid to the government of a country other than Canada.
If the return of a non-resident-owned investment corporation’s income for a taxation year has been made within 3 years from the end of the year, the Minister
may, on sending the notice of assessment for the year, refund without application its allowable refund for the year; and
shall, with all due dispatch, make that allowable refund after sending the notice of assessment if an application for it has been made in writing by the corporation within the period within which the Minister would be allowed under subsection 152(4) to assess tax payable by the corporation for the year if that subsection were read without reference to paragraph 152(4)(a).
Instead of making a refund that might otherwise be made under subsection 133(6), the Minister may, where the taxpayer is liable or about to become liable to make any payment under this Act, apply the amount that would otherwise be refunded to that other liability and notify the taxpayer of that action.
Where an allowable refund for a taxation year is paid to, or applied to a liability of, a non-resident-owned investment corporation, the Minister shall pay or apply interest on the refund at the prescribed rate for the period beginning on the day that is the later of
the day that is 120 days after the end of the year, and
the day that is 30 days after the day on which the corporation’s return of income under this Part for the year was filed under section 150, unless the return was filed on or before the day on or before which it was required to be filed,
and ending on the day the refund is paid or applied.
Where at any particular time interest has been paid to, or applied to a liability of, a corporation under subsection 133(7.01) in respect of an allowable refund and it is determined at a subsequent time that the allowable refund was less than that in respect of which interest was so paid or applied,
the amount by which the interest that was so paid or applied exceeds the interest, if any, computed in respect of the amount that is determined at the subsequent time to be the allowable refund shall be deemed to be an amount (in this subsection referred to as the “amount payable”) that became payable under this Part by the corporation at the particular time;
the corporation shall pay to the Receiver General interest at the prescribed rate on the amount payable, computed from the particular time to the day of payment; and
the Minister may at any time assess the corporation in respect of the amount payable and, where the Minister makes such an assessment, the provisions of Divisions I and J apply, with such modifications as the circumstances require, in respect of the assessment as though it had been made under section 152.
Where at any particular time after 1971 a dividend has become payable by a non-resident-owned investment corporation to shareholders of any class of shares of its capital stock, if the corporation so elects in respect of the full amount of the dividend, in prescribed manner and prescribed form and at or before the particular time or the first day on which any part of the dividend was paid if that day is earlier than the particular time, the following rules apply:
the dividend shall be deemed to be a capital gains dividend to the extent that it does not exceed the corporation’s capital gains dividend account immediately before the particular time; and
any amount received by another non-resident-owned investment corporation in a taxation year as, on account or in lieu of payment of, or in satisfaction of the capital gains dividend shall not be included in computing its income for the year.
Where a dividend becomes payable at the same time on more than one class of shares of the capital stock of a non-resident-owned investment corporation, for the purposes of subsection 133(7.1), the dividend on any such class of shares shall be deemed to become payable at a different time than the dividend on the other class or classes of shares and to become payable in the order designated
by the corporation on or before the day on or before which the election described in subsection 133(7.1) is required to be filed; or
in any other case, by the Minister.
Where at any particular time a non-resident-owned investment corporation paid a dividend to its shareholders and subsection 133(7.1) would have applied to the dividend except that the corporation did not make an election under that subsection on or before the day on or before which it was required by that subsection to be made, subsections 131(1.1) to 131(1.4) apply with such modifications as the circumstances require.

Notwithstanding any other provision of this Act, a non-resident-owned investment corporation that would, but for this section, be a Canadian corporation, taxable Canadian corporation or private corporation shall be deemed not to be a Canadian corporation, taxable Canadian corporation or private corporation, as the case may be, except for the purposes of section 87, subsection 88(2) and sections 212.1 and 219.
This section applies to a corporation that
was a non-resident-owned investment corporation in a taxation year;
is not a non-resident-owned investment corporation in the following taxation year (in this section referred to as the corporation’s “first non-NRO year”); and
elects in writing filed with the Minister on or before the corporation’s filing-due date for its first non-NRO year to have this section apply.
For the purposes of applying subsections 104(10) and (11) and 133(6) to (9) (other than the definition non-resident-owned investment corporation in subsection 133(8)), section 212 and any tax treaty, a corporation described in subsection (1) is deemed to be a non-resident-owned investment corporation in its first non-NRO year in respect of dividends paid in that year on shares of its capital stock to a non-resident person, to a trust for the benefit of non-resident persons or their unborn issue or to a non-resident-owned investment corporation.
This section applies to a corporation that
revokes at any time (in this section described as the “revocation time”) its election to be taxed under section 133;
elects to have this section apply, by filing an election in writing with the Minister on or before the corporation’s filing-due date for the taxation year of the corporation (in this section referred to as the “revocation year”) that would have included the revocation time if the corporation had not so elected; and
specifies in the election a time (in this section referred to as the “elected time”) that is in the revocation year and is not after the revocation time.
Where this section applies to a corporation,
the corporation’s taxation year that would have included the elected time, if the corporation had not elected to have this section apply, is deemed to end immediately before the elected time;
a new taxation year of the corporation is deemed to begin at the elected time; and
notwithstanding paragraph (f) of the definition non-resident-owned investment corporation in subsection 133(8), the corporation is deemed to be a non-resident-owned investment corporation for the period that begins at the beginning of the revocation year and ends immediately before the elected time.
Notwithstanding anything in this Part, other than subsections (1.1) to (2.1) and 135.1(3), there may be deducted, in computing the income of a taxpayer for a taxation year, the total of the payments made, pursuant to allocations in proportion to patronage, by the taxpayer
within the year or within 12 months thereafter to the taxpayer’s customers of the year; and
within the year or within 12 months thereafter to the taxpayer’s customers of a previous year, the deduction of which from income of a previous taxation year was not permitted.
Subsection (1) applies to a payment made by a taxpayer to a customer with whom the taxpayer does not deal at arm’s length only if
the taxpayer is a cooperative corporation described in subsection 136(2) or a credit union; or
the payment is prescribed.
If a taxpayer has not made allocations in proportion to patronage in respect of all of the taxpayer’s customers of the year, at the same rate, with appropriate differences for different types, classes, grades or qualities of goods, products or services, the amount that may be deducted by the taxpayer under subsection (1) is an amount equal to the lesser of
the total of the payments mentioned in that subsection, and
the total of
the part of the income of the taxpayer for the year attributable to business done with members, and
the allocations in proportion to patronage made to non-member customers of the year.
Where, in a taxation year ending after 1985, all or a portion of a payment made by a taxpayer pursuant to an allocation in proportion to patronage to the taxpayer’s customers who are members is not deductible in computing the taxpayer’s income for the year because of the application of subsection 135(2) (in this subsection referred to as the “undeducted amount”), there may be deducted in computing the taxpayer’s income for a subsequent taxation year, an amount equal to the lesser of
the undeducted amount, except to the extent that that amount was deducted in computing the taxpayer’s income for any preceding taxation year, and
the amount, if any, by which
the taxpayer’s income for the subsequent taxation year (computed without reference to this subsection) attributable to business done with the taxpayer’s customers of that year who are members
exceeds
the amount deducted in computing the taxpayer’s income for the subsequent taxation year by virtue of subsection 135(1) in respect of payments made by the taxpayer pursuant to allocations in proportion to patronage to the taxpayer’s customers of that year who are members.
Subject to subsection 135.1(6), a taxpayer who makes at any particular time in a calendar year a payment pursuant to an allocation in proportion to patronage to a person who is resident in Canada and is not exempt from tax under section 149 shall, notwithstanding any agreement or any law to the contrary, deduct or withhold from the payment an amount equal to 15% of the lesser of the amount of the payment and the amount, if any, by which
the total of the amount of the payment and the amounts of all other payments pursuant to allocations in proportion to patronage made by the taxpayer to that person in the calendar year and before the particular time
exceeds
$100,
and forthwith remit that amount to the Receiver General on behalf of that person on account of that person’s tax under this Part.
For the purposes of this section and section 135.1,
allocation in proportion to patronage for a taxation year means an amount credited by a taxpayer to a customer of that year on terms that the customer is entitled to or will receive payment thereof, computed at a rate in relation to the quantity, quality or value of the goods or products acquired, marketed, handled, dealt in or sold, or services rendered by the taxpayer from, on behalf of or to the customer, whether as principal or as agent of the customer or otherwise, with appropriate differences in the rate for different classes, grades or qualities thereof, if
the amount was credited
within the year or within 12 months thereafter, and
at the same rate in relation to quantity, quality or value aforesaid as the rate at which amounts were similarly credited to all other customers of that year who were members or to all other customers of that year, as the case may be, with appropriate differences aforesaid for different classes, grades or qualities, and
the prospect that amounts would be so credited was held out by the taxpayer to the taxpayer’s customers of that year who were members or non-member customers of that year, as the case may be; (répartition proportionnelle à l’apport commercial)
consumer goods or services means goods or services the cost of which was not deductible by the taxpayer in computing the income from a business or property; (marchandises de consommation ou services)
customer means a customer of a taxpayer and includes a person who sells or delivers goods or products to the taxpayer, or for whom the taxpayer renders services; (client)
income of the taxpayer attributable to business done with members of any taxation year means that proportion of the income of the taxpayer for the year (before making any deduction under this section) that the value of the goods or products acquired, marketed, handled, dealt in or sold or services rendered by the taxpayer from, on behalf of, or for members, is of the total value of goods or products acquired, marketed, handled, dealt in or sold or services rendered by the taxpayer from, on behalf of, or for all customers during the year; (revenu du contribuable attribuable aux affaires faites avec ses membres)
member means a person who is entitled as a member or shareholder to full voting rights in the conduct of the affairs of the taxpayer (being a corporation) or of a corporation of which the taxpayer is a subsidiary wholly-owned corporation; (membre)
non-member customer means a customer who is not a member; (client non membre)
payment includes
the issue of a certificate of indebtedness or shares of the taxpayer or of a corporation of which the taxpayer is a subsidiary wholly-owned corporation if the taxpayer or that corporation has in the year or within 12 months thereafter disbursed an amount of money equal to the total face value of all certificates or shares so issued in the course of redeeming or purchasing certificates of indebtedness or shares of the taxpayer or that corporation previously issued,
the application by the taxpayer of an amount to a member’s liability to the taxpayer (including, without restricting the generality of the foregoing, an amount applied in fulfilment of an obligation of the member to make a loan to the taxpayer and an amount applied on account of payment for shares issued to a member) pursuant to a by-law of the taxpayer, pursuant to statutory authority or at the request of the member, or
the amount of a payment or transfer by the taxpayer that, under subsection 56(2), is required to be included in computing the income of a member. (paiement)
For the purpose of this section a taxpayer shall be deemed to have held out the prospect that amounts would be credited to a customer of a taxation year by way of allocation in proportion to patronage, if
throughout the year the statute under which the taxpayer was incorporated or registered, its charter, articles of association or by-laws or its contract with the customer held out the prospect that amounts would be so credited to customers who are members or non-member customers, as the case may be; or
prior to the commencement of the year or prior to such other day as may be prescribed for the class of business in which the taxpayer is engaged, the taxpayer has published an advertisement in prescribed form in a newspaper or newspapers of general circulation throughout the greater part of the area in which the taxpayer carried on business holding out that prospect to customers who are members or non-member customers, as the case may be, and has filed copies of the newspapers with the Minister before the end of the 30th day of the taxation year or within 30 days from the prescribed day, as the case may be.
For greater certainty, the amount of any payment pursuant to an allocation in proportion to patronage is the amount thereof determined before deducting any amount required by subsection 135(3) to be deducted or withheld from that payment.
Where a payment pursuant to an allocation in proportion to patronage (other than an allocation in respect of consumer goods or services) has been received by a taxpayer, the amount of the payment shall, subject to subsection 135.1(2), be included in computing the recipient’s income for the taxation year in which the payment was received and, without restricting the generality of the foregoing, where a certificate of indebtedness or a share was issued to a person pursuant to an allocation in proportion to patronage, the amount of the payment by virtue of that issuance shall be included in computing the recipient’s income for the taxation year in which the certificate or share was received and not in computing the recipient’s income for the year in which the indebtedness was subsequently discharged or the share was redeemed.
For the purposes of this section, where
a person has sold or delivered a quantity of goods or products to a marketing board established by or pursuant to a law of Canada or a province,
the marketing board has sold or delivered the same quantity of goods or products of the same class, grade or quality to a taxpayer of which the person is a member, and
the taxpayer has credited that person with an amount based on the quantity of goods or products of that class, grade or quality sold or delivered to it by the marketing board,
the quantity of goods or products referred to in paragraph 135(8)(c) shall be deemed to have been sold or delivered by that person to the taxpayer and to have been acquired by the taxpayer from that person.
The following definitions apply in this section and section 135.
agricultural business means a business, carried on in Canada, that consists of one or any combination of
farming (including, if the person carrying on the business is a corporation described in paragraph (a) of the definition agricultural cooperative corporation, the production, processing, storing and wholesale marketing of the products of its members’ farming activities); or

in the case of a transferor that is a life insurer and that carries on an insurance business in Canada and in a country other than Canada in the year, transferred all or substantially all of the property (in subsection (11.5) referred to as the “transferred property”) that is owned by it at that time and that was designated insurance property in respect of the business for the taxation year that, because of paragraph (11.5)(h), ended immediately before that time, or
in any other case, transferred all or substantially all of the property owned by it at that time and used by it in the year in, or held by it in the year in the course of, carrying on that insurance business in Canada in that year (in subsection (11.5) referred to as the “transferred property”)

in respect of the accounting standards adopted by the Accounting Standards Board and effective as of October 1, 2006, the life insurer’s first taxation year that begins after September 2006,
Where
in a taxation year that ended after 1968 and before 1978 an insurer carried on a life insurance business in Canada and an insurance business in a country other than Canada,
the insurer did not make an election in respect of the year under subsection 138(9) of the Income Tax Act, chapter 148 of the Revised Statutes of Canada, 1952, as it applied to that year, and
the ratio of the value for the year of the insurer’s specified Canadian assets to its Canadian investment fund for the year exceeded one,
under paragraph (c), (d), (k) or (l) of the definition tax basis in subsection 142.4(1) in determining the tax basis of a debt obligation to the insurer, or
under paragraph (c), (d), (f) or (h) of the definition amortized cost in subsection 248(1) in determining the amortized cost of a debt obligation to the insurer.
For the purposes of subsection 138(13), the expressions Canadian investment fund for a taxation year, specified Canadian assets and value for the taxation year have the meanings prescribed therefor.
In this section, in construing the meaning of the expression group term insurance policy, the definition group term life insurance policy in subsection 248(1) does not apply.
There shall be included in computing a life insurer’s income for its transition year from a life insurance business carried on by it in Canada in the transition year, the positive amount, if any, of the life insurer’s reserve transition amount in respect of that life insurance business.
There shall be deducted in computing a life insurer’s income for its transition year from a life insurance business carried on by it in Canada in the transition year, the absolute value of the negative amount, if any, of the life insurer’s reserve transition amount in respect of that life insurance business.
In applying subsections (18) and (19) to a life insurer for a taxation year of the life insurer in respect of the International Financial Reporting Standards adopted by the Accounting Standards Board and effective as of January 1, 2011,
the reference to “policy reserve” in B of the formula in the definition reserve transition amount in subsection (12) is to be read as a reference to “policy reserve determined without reference to the life insurer’s excluded policies”;
the reference in those subsections to “that ends after the beginning of the transition year” is to be read as a reference to “that ends no sooner than two years after the beginning of the transition year”; and
the reference in those subsections to “the first day of the transition year” is to be read as a reference to “the first day of the first year that ends no sooner than two years after the beginning of the transition year”.
If an amount has been included under subsection (16) in computing a life insurer’s income for its transition year from a life insurance business carried on by it in Canada, there shall be deducted in computing the life insurer’s income, for each particular taxation year of the life insurer that ends after the beginning of the transition year, from that life insurance business, the amount determined by the formula A × B/1825 where A is the amount included under subsection (16) in computing the life insurer’s income for the transition year from that life insurance business; and B is the number of days in the particular taxation year that are before the day that is 1825 days after the first day of the transition year.
If an amount has been deducted under subsection (17) in computing a life insurer’s income for its transition year from a life insurance business carried on by it in Canada, there shall be included in computing the life insurer’s income, for each particular taxation year of the life insurer that ends after the beginning of the transition year, from that life insurance business, the amount determined by the formula A × B/1825 where A is the amount deducted under subsection (17) in computing the life insurer’s income for the transition year from that life insurance business; and B is the number of days in the particular taxation year that are before the day that is 1825 days after the first day of the transition year.
If a life insurer has, in a winding-up to which subsection 88(1) has applied, been wound-up into another corporation (referred to in this subsection as the “parent”), and immediately after the winding-up the parent carries on a life insurance business, in applying subsections (18) and (19) in computing the income of the life insurer and of the parent for particular taxation years that end on or after the first day (referred to in this subsection as the “start day”) on which assets of the life insurer were distributed to the parent on the winding-up,
the parent is, on and after the start day, deemed to be the same corporation as and a continuation of the life insurer in respect of
any amount included under subsection (16) or deducted under subsection (17) in computing the life insurer’s income from a life insurance business for its transition year,
any amount deducted under subsection (18) or included under subsection (19) in computing the life insurer’s income from a life insurance business for a taxation year of the life insurer that begins before the start day, and
any amount that would — in the absence of this subsection and if the life insurer existed and carried on a life insurance business on each day that is the start day or a subsequent day and on which the parent carries on a life insurance business — be required to be deducted or included, in respect of any of those days, under subsection (18) or (19) in computing the life insurer’s income from a life insurance business; and
the life insurer is, in respect of each of its particular taxation years, to determine the value for B in the formulas in subsections (18) and (19) without reference to the start day and days after the start day.
If there is an amalgamation (within the meaning assigned by subsection 87(1)) of a life insurer with one or more other corporations to form one corporation (referred to in this subsection as the “new corporation”), and immediately after the amalgamation the new corporation carries on a life insurance business, in applying subsections (18) and (19) in computing the income of the new corporation for particular taxation years of the new corporation that begin on or after the day on which the amalgamation occurred, the new corporation is, on and after that day, deemed to be the same corporation as and a continuation of the life insurer in respect of
any amount included under subsection (16) or deducted under subsection (17) in computing the life insurer’s income from a life insurance business for its transition year;
any amount deducted under subsection (18) or included under subsection (19) in computing the life insurer’s income from a life insurance business for a taxation year that begins before the day on which the amalgamation occurred; and
any amount that would — in the absence of this subsection and if the life insurer existed and carried on a life insurance business on each day that is the day on which the amalgamation occurred or a subsequent day and on which the new corporation carries on a life insurance business — be required to be deducted or included, in respect of any of those days, under subsection (18) or (19) in computing the life insurer’s income from a life insurance business.
Subsection (23) applies if, at any time, a life insurer (referred to in this subsection and subsection (23) as the “transferor”) transfers, to a corporation (referred to in this subsection and subsection (23) as the “transferee”) that is related to the transferor, property in respect of a life insurance business carried on by the transferor in Canada (referred to in this subsection and subsection (23) as the “transferred business”) and
subsection 138(11.5) or (11.94) applies to the transfer; or
subsection 85(1) applies to the transfer, the transfer includes all or substantially all of the property and liabilities of the transferred business and, immediately after the transfer, the transferee carries on a life insurance business.
If this subsection applies in respect of the transfer, at any time, of property
the transferee is, at and after that time, deemed to be the same corporation as and a continuation of the transferor in respect of
any amount included under subsection (16) or deducted under subsection (17) in computing the transferor’s income for its transition year that can reasonably be attributed to the transferred business,
any amount deducted under subsection (18) or included under subsection (19) in computing the transferor’s income for a taxation year of the transferor that begins before that time that can reasonably be attributed to the transferred business, and
any amount that would — in the absence of this subsection and if the transferor existed and carried on a life insurance business on each day that includes that time or is a subsequent day and on which the transferee carries on a life insurance business — be required to be deducted or included, in respect of any of those days, under subsection (18) or (19) in computing the transferor’s income that can reasonably be attributed to the transferred business; and
in determining, in respect of the day that includes that time or any subsequent day, any amount that is required under subsection (18) or (19) to be deducted or included in computing the transferor’s income for each particular taxation year from the transferred business, the description of A in the formulas in those subsections is deemed to be nil.
If at any time a life insurer ceases to carry on all or substantially all of a life insurance business (referred to in this subsection as the “discontinued business”), and none of subsections (20) to (22) apply,
there shall be deducted, in computing the life insurer’s income from the discontinued business for the life insurer’s taxation year that includes the time that is immediately before that time, the amount determined by the formula A – B where A is the amount included under subsection (16) in computing the life insurer’s income from the discontinued business for its transition year, and B is the total of all amounts each of which is an amount deducted under subsection (18) in computing the life insurer’s income from the discontinued business for a taxation year that began before that time; and
there shall be included, in computing the life insurer’s income from the discontinued business for the life insurer’s taxation year that includes the time that is immediately before that time, the amount determined by the formula C – D where C is the amount deducted under subsection (17) in computing the life insurer’s income from the discontinued business for its transition year, and D is the total of all amounts each of which is an amount included under subsection (19) in computing the life insurer’s income from the discontinued business for a taxation year that began before that time.
If at any time a life insurer that carried on a life insurance business ceases to exist (otherwise than as a result of a winding-up or amalgamation described in subsection (20) or (21)), for the purposes of subsection (24), the life insurer is deemed to have ceased to carry on the life insurance business at the earlier of
the time (determined without reference to this subsection) at which the life insurer ceased to carry on the life insurance business, and
the time that is immediately before the end of the last taxation year of the life insurer that ended at or before the time at which the life insurer ceased to exist.
In applying subsections (16), (17), (18) and (19) to a life insurer for a taxation year of the life insurer,
for greater certainty, the references in subsections (16), (17), (18) and (19) to a transition year include each of those transition years.
for each transition year, the computation of the reserve transition amount for the transition year, and the requirements to include, or rights to deduct, under any of those subsections an amount in respect of that reserve transition amount, shall be determined as if that transition year were the only transition year of the life insurer for that taxation year, and
if the life insurer has more than one transition year for the same taxation year of the life insurer
if one or more of those subsections applies in the same taxation year in respect of both the amendment to paragraph 1406(b) of the Income Tax Regulations effective as of the life insurer’s 2012 taxation year, and the International Financial Reporting Standards adopted by the Accounting Standards Board and effective as of January 1, 2011, then, for the purposes of applying those subsections in respect of a transition year described by paragraph (b) of the definition transition year in subsection (12), the reference to “as it reads in respect of its transition year” in paragraph (b) of the description of A in the definition reserve transition amount in subsection (12) is to be read as a reference to “as it reads in respect of its transition year (determined without reference to the amendment to paragraph 1406(b) of the Income Tax Regulations effective as of the life insurer’s 2012 taxation year); and
if the application of one or more of those subsections is in respect of the amendment to paragraph 1406(b) of the Income Tax Regulations effective as of the life insurer’s 2012 taxation year, the life insurer’s reserve transition amount for its transition year in respect of that amendment is to be determined as though the description of A in the definition reserve transition amount in subsection (12) read as follows: A is the maximum amount that the life insurer would be permitted to claim under subparagraph (3)(a)(i) (and that would be prescribed by section 1404 of the Income Tax Regulations for the purposes of subparagraph (3)(a)(i)) as a policy reserve for its base year in respect of its life insurance policies in Canada if paragraph 1406(b) of the Income Tax Regulations were read as it applies to the life insurer’s 2012 taxation year, and;
In respect of life insurance policies for which all or any part of an insurer’s reserves vary in amount depending on the fair market value of a specified group of properties (in this section referred to as a “segregated fund”), for the purposes of this Part, the following rules apply:
an inter vivos trust (in this section referred to as the “related segregated fund trust”) is deemed to be created at the time that is the later of
the day that the segregated fund is created, and
the day on which the insurer’s 1978 taxation year commences,
property that has been allocated to and that remains a part of the segregated fund, and any income that has accrued on that property is deemed to be the property and income of the related segregated fund trust and not to be the property and income of the insurer;
the insurer is deemed to be
the trustee who has ownership or control of the related segregated fund trust property,
a resident of Canada in respect of the related segregated fund trust property used or held by it in the course of carrying on the insurer’s life insurance business in Canada, and
a non-resident of Canada in respect of the related segregated fund trust property not used or held by it in the course of carrying on the insurer’s life insurance business in Canada;
where at a particular time there is property in the segregated fund that was not funded with premiums paid under a segregated fund policy,
the insurer is deemed to have an interest in the related segregated fund trust that is not in respect of any particular property or source of income, and
the cost at any time of that interest to the insurer is deemed to be the total of
for property of the trust at that time allocated by the insurer to the segregated fund prior to 1978, the amount that would be its adjusted cost base to the insurer if the interest had been a capital property at all relevant times prior to 1978 and if the rules in this section had been applicable for the taxation years after 1971 and before 1978, and
for property of the trust at that time allocated by the insurer to the segregated fund after 1977, the fair market value of the property at the time it was last allocated to the segregated fund by the insurer;
where at any particular time there is property in the segregated fund that was funded with a portion of the premiums paid before that time under a segregated fund policy,
the respective segregated fund policyholder is deemed to have an interest in the related segregated fund trust that is not in respect of any particular property or source of income,
the cost of that interest is deemed to be the amount that is the total of
the amount that would be its adjusted cost base to the insurer at December 31, 1977 if the interest had been a capital property at all relevant times prior to 1978 and if the rules in this section (if subsection 138.1(3) were read without reference to the expressions “or capital loss” and “or loss”) had been applicable for taxation years after 1971 and before 1978, and
the total of amounts each of which is that portion of a premium paid before that time and after the day referred to in subparagraph 138.1(1)(a)(ii) under a segregated fund policy that was or is to be used by the insurer to fund property allocated to the segregated fund (other than the portion of the premium that is an acquisition fee), and
the portion of a premium included in a segregated fund is deemed not to be an amount paid in respect of a premium under the policy;
the income of the related segregated fund trust is deemed for the purposes of subsections 104(6), 104(13) and 104(24) to be an amount that has become payable in the year to the beneficiaries under the segregated fund trust and the amount therefor in respect of any particular beneficiary is equal to the amount determined by reference to the terms and conditions of the segregated fund policy;
where at a particular time the fair market value of property transferred by the insurer to the segregated fund results in an increase at that time in the portion of the insurer’s reserves for a segregated fund policy held by a policyholder that vary with the fair market value of the segregated fund and a decrease in the portion of its reserves for the policy that do not so vary, the amount of that increase shall,
for the purpose of the determination of H in the definition adjusted cost basis in subsection 148(9), be deemed to be proceeds of disposition that the policyholder became entitled to receive at that time,
for the purpose of computing the adjusted cost base to the policyholder of the policyholder’s interest in the related segregated fund trust, be added at that time to the cost to the policyholder of that interest, and
for the purpose of computing the insurer’s income, be deemed to be a payment under the terms and conditions of the policy at that time;
where at a particular time the fair market value of property transferred by the insurer from the segregated fund results in an increase at that time in the portion of the insurer’s reserves for a segregated fund policy that do not vary with the fair market value of the segregated fund and a decrease in the portion of its reserves for the policy that so vary, the amount of that increase shall, for the purpose of calculating the insurer’s income, be deemed to be a premium received by the insurer at that time;
where at a particular time the policyholder of a segregated fund policy disposes of all or a portion of the policyholder’s interest in the related segregated fund trust, that proportion of the amount, if any, by which the acquisition fee with respect to the particular policy exceeds the total of amounts each of which is an amount determined under this paragraph with respect to the particular policy before that time, that
the fair market value of the interest disposed of at that time
the fair market value of the policyholder’s interest in the particular segregated fund trust immediately before that time,
the obligations of an insurer in respect of a benefit that is payable under a segregated fund policy, the amount of which benefit varies with the fair market value of the segregated fund at the time the benefit becomes payable, are deemed to be obligations of the trustee under the related segregated fund trust and not of the insurer and any amount received by the policyholder or that the policyholder became entitled to receive at any particular time in a year in respect of those obligations is deemed to be proceeds from the disposition of an interest in the related segregated fund trust;
a reference to “the terms and conditions of the trust arrangement” in section 104 or subsection 127.2(3) is deemed to include a reference to the terms and conditions of the related segregated fund policy and the trustee is deemed to have designated the amounts referred to in that section in accordance with those terms and conditions; and
where at any time an insurer acquires a share as a first registered holder thereof and allocates the share to a related segregated fund trust, the trust shall be deemed to have acquired the share at that time as the first registered holder thereof for the purpose of computing its share-purchase tax credit and the insurer shall be deemed not to have acquired the share for the purpose of computing its share-purchase tax credit.
Where an insurer holds property at the end of its 1977 taxation year in connection with a segregated fund, the following rules apply:
the property is deemed to have been acquired by the related segregated fund trust on the day determined under paragraph 138.1(1)(a) at a cost equal to the adjusted cost base of the property to the insurer on that day and that transaction is deemed to be a transaction between persons not dealing at arm’s length;
the property is deemed to have been disposed of by the insurer on the day referred to in paragraph 138.1(2)(a) for proceeds equal to the adjusted cost base of the property to the insurer on that day; and
for the purpose of computing the insurer’s income for its 1978 taxation year it shall be deemed to have made a payment to its policyholders in satisfaction of their rights under their segregated fund policies in that year equal to that portion of the amount deducted under subparagraph 138(3)(a)(i) in computing its income for its 1977 taxation year that is in respect of segregated fund policies.
A capital gain or capital loss of a related segregated fund trust from the disposition of any property shall, to the extent that a policyholder’s benefits under a policy or the interest in the trust of any other beneficiary is affected by that gain or loss, be deemed to be a capital gain or capital loss, as the case may be, of the policyholder or other beneficiary and not that of the trust.
[Repealed, 2013, c. 34, s. 287]
Where at any particular time after 1977, a policyholder withdraws all or part of the policyholder’s interest in a segregated fund policy, the trustee of a related segregated fund trust may elect in prescribed manner and prescribed form to treat any capital property of the trust as having been disposed of, whereupon the property shall be deemed to have been disposed of on any day designated by the trustee for proceeds of disposition equal to
the fair market value of the property on that day,

Where, in connection with the demutualization of an insurance corporation, a person would, if subsection (2) were read without reference to paragraphs (f) and (g) and paragraph (3)(a) were read without reference to the application of subsection 147.4(2), receive a particular benefit that is a specified insurance benefit,
the insurance corporation that is obligated to pay benefits under the policy to which the particular benefit relates is deemed to have received a premium at the time of the demutualization in respect of that policy equal to the value of the particular benefit;

the stakeholder pays a premium under the policy in respect of the particular coverage or under another group insurance policy in respect of coverage that has replaced the particular coverage, and
either
the premium is deemed by paragraph (9)(c) to have been paid, or
it is reasonable to conclude that the purpose of the premium is to apply, for the benefit of the individuals who are insured under the particular coverage or the replacement coverage, all or part of the value of the portion of the conversion benefit that can reasonably be considered to be in respect of the particular coverage,
for the purposes of paragraph 6(1)(f) and regulations made for the purposes of subsection 6(4), the premium is deemed to be an amount paid by the individuals who are insured under the particular coverage or the replacement coverage, as the case may be, and not to be an amount paid by the stakeholder, and

who has received benefits under the policy,
who has, or had at any time, an absolute or contingent right to receive benefits under the policy,
for whose benefit insurance coverage was provided under the policy, or
who received the amount because an individual satisfied the condition in subparagraph (i), (ii) or (iii),

the payment is received after December 6, 1999 and the payment would, if this section were read without reference to this subsection, not be included in computing the income of the particular individual,
subject to paragraph (l), no amount is, because of the making of the payment, deductible in computing the stakeholder’s income,

all obligations that would, but for this subsection, be imposed by this Act or the regulations on the corporation because of the payment of the dividend apply to the stakeholder as if the stakeholder were the corporation, and do not apply to the corporation,
where the relevant conversion benefit is a taxable conversion benefit, except for the purpose of this subsection and the purposes of determining the obligations imposed by this Act or the regulations on the corporation because of the conferral of the relevant conversion benefit, the stakeholder is deemed, to the extent of the fair market value of the payment, not to have received the relevant conversion benefit, and
where the relevant conversion benefit was a share received by the stakeholder (otherwise than as a taxable conversion benefit),
where the share is, at the time of the payment, capital property held by the stakeholder, the amount of the payment shall, after that time, be added in computing the adjusted cost base to the stakeholder of the share,
where subparagraph (i) does not apply and the share was capital property disposed of by the stakeholder before that time, the amount of the payment is deemed to be a capital loss of the stakeholder from the disposition of a property for the taxation year of the stakeholder in which the payment is made, and

for whose benefit insurance coverage was provided under the policy, or
who received the shares because an individual satisfied the condition in subparagraph (i), (ii) or (iii),

In computing the income for a taxation year of an insurance corporation, whether a mutual corporation or a joint stock company, from carrying on an insurance business other than a life insurance business, there may be deducted every amount credited in respect of that business for the year or a preceding taxation year to a policyholder of the corporation by way of a policy dividend, refund of premiums or refund of premium deposits if the amount was, during the year or within 12 months thereafter,
paid or unconditionally credited to the policyholder; or

A corporation resident in Canada that is a holding corporation because of its acquisition of shares in connection with the demutualization of a life insurance corporation resident in Canada is deemed to be a public corporation at each time in the specified period of the holding corporation at which the holding corporation would have satisfied conditions prescribed under subparagraph (b)(i) of the definition public corporation in subsection 89(1) if the words “shareholders, the dispersal of ownership of its shares and the public trading of its shares” in that subparagraph were read as “shareholders and the dispersal of ownership of its shares”.
For the purpose of subsection (3), the specified period of a corporation
begins at the time the corporation becomes a holding corporation; and
ends at the first time the corporation is a public corporation because of any provision of this Act other than subsection (3).
For the purpose of paragraph (d) of the definition taxable Canadian property in subsection 248(1), a share of the capital stock of a corporation is deemed to be listed at any time on a designated stock exchange if
the corporation is
a life insurance corporation resident in Canada that has demutualized and that, at that time, would have satisfied conditions prescribed under subparagraph (b)(i) of the definition public corporation in subsection 89(1) if the words “shareholders, the dispersal of ownership of its shares and the public trading of its shares” in that subparagraph were read as “shareholders and the dispersal of ownership of its shares”, or
a holding corporation that is deemed by subsection (3) to be a public corporation at that time;
no share of the capital stock of the corporation is listed on any stock exchange at that time; and
that time is not later than six months after the time of the demutualization of
the corporation, where the corporation is a life insurance corporation, and
in any other case, the life insurance corporation in respect of which the corporation is a holding corporation.
Notwithstanding any other provision of this Act, an insurance corporation (other than a life insurance corporation) that would, but for this section, be a private corporation is deemed not to be a private corporation for the purposes of subsection 55(5), the definition capital dividend account in subsection 89(1) and sections 123.3 and 129.

fair value property of a taxpayer for a taxation year means property, held at any time in the taxation year by the taxpayer, that is — or it is reasonable to expect would, if the taxpayer held the property at the end of the taxation year, be — valued (otherwise than solely because its fair value was less than its cost to the taxpayer or, if the property is a specified debt obligation, because of a default of the debtor) in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, at its fair value (determined in accordance with those principles) in the taxpayer’s balance sheet as at the end of the taxation year; (bien évalué à sa juste valeur)

transition amount of a taxpayer in respect of the disposition of a specified debt obligation has the meaning assigned by regulation. (montant de transition)
This section applies to the disposition of a specified debt obligation by a taxpayer that is a financial institution, except that this section does not apply to the disposition of a specified debt obligation that is a mark-to-market property for the taxation year in which the disposition occurs.
Where a taxpayer has disposed of a specified debt obligation after February 22, 1994,
except as provided by paragraph 79.1(7)(d) or this section, no amount shall be included or deducted in respect of the disposition in computing the taxpayer’s income; and
except where the obligation is an indexed debt obligation (other than a prescribed obligation), paragraph 20(14)(a) shall not apply in respect of the disposition.
Subject to subsection 142.4(5), where after 1994 a taxpayer disposes of a specified debt obligation in a taxation year,
where the transition amount in respect of the disposition of the obligation is positive, it shall be included in computing the income of the taxpayer for the year;
where the transition amount in respect of the disposition of the obligation is negative, the absolute value of the transition amount shall be deducted in computing the income of the taxpayer for the year;
where the taxpayer has a gain from the disposition of the obligation,
the current amount of the gain shall be included in computing the income of the taxpayer for the year, and
there shall be included in computing the taxpayer’s income for taxation years that end on or after the day of disposition the amount allocated, in accordance with prescribed rules, to the year in respect of the residual portion of the gain; and
where the taxpayer has a loss from the disposition of the obligation,
the current amount of the loss shall be deducted in computing the taxpayer’s income for the year, and
there shall be deducted in computing the taxpayer’s income for taxation years that end on or after the day of disposition the amount allocated, in accordance with prescribed rules, to the year in respect of the residual portion of the loss.
Where after February 22, 1994 a taxpayer disposes of a specified debt obligation in a taxation year, and
the obligation is
an indexed debt obligation (other than a prescribed obligation), or
a debt obligation prescribed in respect of the taxpayer,
the disposition occurred
before 1995,
after 1994 in connection with the transfer of all or part of a business of the taxpayer to a person or partnership, or
because of paragraph 142.6(1)(c), or
in the case of a taxpayer other than a life insurance corporation,
the disposition occurred before 1996, and
the taxpayer elects in writing, filed with the Minister before July 1997, to have this paragraph apply,
the following rules apply:
subsection 142.4(4) does not apply to the disposition,
there shall be included in computing the taxpayer’s income for the year the amount, if any, by which the taxpayer’s proceeds of disposition exceed the tax basis of the obligation to the taxpayer immediately before the disposition, and
there shall be deducted in computing the taxpayer’s income for the year the amount, if any, by which the tax basis of the obligation to the taxpayer immediately before the disposition exceeds the taxpayer’s proceeds of disposition.
For the purposes of this section,
where the amount determined under paragraph 142.4(6)(c) in respect of the disposition of a specified debt obligation by a taxpayer is positive, that amount is the taxpayer’s gain from the disposition of the obligation;
where the amount determined under paragraph 142.4(6)(c) in respect of the disposition of a specified debt obligation by a taxpayer is negative, the absolute value of that amount is the taxpayer’s loss from the disposition of the obligation; and
the amount determined under this paragraph in respect of the disposition of a specified debt obligation by a taxpayer is the positive or negative amount determined by the formula A - (B + C) where A is the taxpayer’s proceeds of disposition, B is the tax basis of the obligation to the taxpayer immediately before the time of disposition, and C is the taxpayer’s transition amount in respect of the disposition.
For the purposes of subsections 142.4(4) and 142.4(8), the current amount of a taxpayer’s gain or loss from the disposition of a specified debt obligation is
where the taxpayer has a gain from the disposition of the obligation, the part, if any, of the gain that is reasonably attributable to a material increase in the probability, or perceived probability, that the debtor will make all payments as required by the obligation; and
where the taxpayer has a loss from the disposition of the obligation, the amount that the taxpayer claims not exceeding the part, if any, of the loss that is reasonably attributable to a default by the debtor or a material decrease in the probability, or perceived probability, that the debtor will make all payments as required by the obligation.
For the purpose of subsection 142.4(4), the residual portion of a taxpayer’s gain or loss from the disposition of a specified debt obligation is the amount, if any, by which the gain or loss exceeds the current amount of the gain or loss.
Where a taxpayer disposes of part of a specified debt obligation, section 142.3 and this section apply as if the part disposed of and the part retained were separate specified debt obligations.
Notwithstanding subsection 18(9.1), where a taxpayer that holds a specified debt obligation receives a penalty or bonus because of the repayment before maturity of all or part of the principal amount of the debt obligation, the payment is deemed to be received by the taxpayer as proceeds of disposition of the specified debt obligation.
For the purposes of this section, where at any time a taxpayer receives a payment (other than proceeds of disposition) under a specified debt obligation on or after the disposition of the obligation, the payment is deemed not to have been so received at that time but to have been so received immediately before the disposition.
Where, in a taxation year that begins after October 1994, a taxpayer that is a financial institution in the year disposes of a property that is a mark-to-market property for the year,
there shall be included in computing the taxpayer’s income for the year the profit, if any, from the disposition; and
there shall be deducted in computing the taxpayer’s income for the year the loss, if any, from the disposition.
Where a taxpayer that is a financial institution in a taxation year holds, at the end of the year, a mark-to-market property for the year, the taxpayer shall be deemed
to have disposed of the property immediately before the end of the year for proceeds equal to its fair market value at the time of disposition, and
to have reacquired the property at the end of the year at a cost equal to those proceeds.
Where a taxpayer is a financial institution in a particular taxation year that begins after October 1994, the following rules apply with respect to a specified debt obligation that is a mark-to-market property of the taxpayer for the particular year:
paragraph 12(1)(c) and subsections 12(3) and 20(14) and (21) do not apply to the obligation in computing the taxpayer’s income for the particular year;
there shall be included in computing the taxpayer’s income for the particular year an amount received by the taxpayer in the particular year as, on account of, in lieu of payment of, or in satisfaction of, interest on the obligation, to the extent that the interest was not included in computing the taxpayer’s income for a preceding taxation year; and
for the purpose of paragraph 142.5(3)(b), where the taxpayer was deemed by subsection 142.5(2) or paragraph 142.6(1)(b) to have disposed of the obligation in a preceding taxation year, no part of an amount included in computing the income of the taxpayer for that preceding year because of the disposition shall be considered to be in respect of interest on the obligation.
[Repealed, 2013, c. 34, s. 288]
Where
in a particular taxation year that ends after October 30, 1994, a taxpayer disposed of a specified debt obligation that is a mark-to-market property of the taxpayer for the following taxation year, and
either
the disposition occurred because of subsection 142.5(2) and the particular year includes October 31, 1994, or
the disposition occurred because of paragraph 142.6(1)(b),
subsection 20(21) does not apply to the disposition, and
where
an amount has been deducted under paragraph 20(1)(p) in respect of the obligation in computing the taxpayer’s income for the particular year or a preceding taxation year, and
section 12.4 does not apply to the disposition,
the total of all amounts referred to in subparagraph 142.5(8)(d)(i)
the total of all amounts included under paragraph 12(1)(i) in respect of the obligation in computing the taxpayer’s income for the particular year or a preceding taxation year.
Subsection (8.2) applies to a taxpayer for its transition year if
subsection (2) deems the taxpayer to have disposed of a particular specified debt obligation immediately before the end of its transition year (in subsection (8.2) referred to as “the particular disposition”); and
the particular specified debt obligation was owned by the taxpayer at the end of its base year and was not a mark-to-market property of the taxpayer for its base year.
If this subsection applies to a taxpayer for its transition year, the following rules apply to the taxpayer in respect of the particular disposition:
subsection 20(21) does not apply to the taxpayer in respect of the particular disposition; and
if section 12.4 does not apply to the taxpayer in respect of the particular disposition, there shall be included in computing the taxpayer’s income for its transition year the amount, if any, by which
the total of all amounts each of which is
an amount deducted under paragraph 20(1)(l) in respect of the particular specified debt obligation of the taxpayer in computing the taxpayer’s income for its base year, or
an amount deducted under paragraph 20(1)(p) in respect of the particular specified debt obligation of the taxpayer in computing the taxpayer’s income for a taxation year that preceded its transition year,
the total of all amounts each of which is
an amount included under paragraph 12(1)(d) in respect of the particular specified debt obligation of the taxpayer in computing the taxpayer’s income for its transition year, or
an amount included under paragraph 12(1)(i) in respect of the particular specified debt obligation of the taxpayer in computing the taxpayer’s income for its transition year or a preceding taxation year.
Where
a taxpayer acquired a property before October 31, 1994 at a cost less than the fair market value of the property at the time of acquisition,
the property was transferred, directly or indirectly, to the taxpayer by a person that would never have been a financial institution before the transfer if the definition financial institution in subsection 142.2(1) had always applied,
the cost is less than the fair market value because subsection 85(1) applied in respect of the disposition of the property by the person, and
subsection 142.5(2) deemed the taxpayer to have disposed of the property in its particular taxation year that includes October 31, 1994,
where the taxpayer would, but for this paragraph, have a taxable capital gain for the particular year from the disposition of the property, the part of the taxable capital gain that can reasonably be considered to have arisen while the property was held by a person described in paragraph 142.5(9)(b) shall be deemed to be a taxable capital gain of the taxpayer from the disposition of the property for the taxation year in which the taxpayer disposes of the property otherwise than because of subsection 142.5(2), and not to be a taxable capital gain for the particular year, and
where the taxpayer has a profit (other than a capital gain) from the disposition of the property, the part of the profit that can reasonably be considered to have arisen while the property was held by a person described in paragraph 142.5(9)(b) shall be included in computing the taxpayer’s income for the taxation year in which the taxpayer disposes of the property otherwise than because of subsection 142.5(2), and shall not be included in computing the taxpayer’s income for the particular year.
The following definitions apply for the purposes of this section and subsections 142.5(8.1) and (8.2).
base year of a taxpayer means the taxpayer’s taxation year that immediately precedes its transition year. (année de base)
transition amount of a taxpayer for the taxpayer’s transition year is the positive or negative amount determined by the formula A – B where A is the total of all amounts each of which is the fair market value, at the end of the taxpayer’s base year, of a transition property of the taxpayer; and B is the total of all amounts each of which is the cost amount to the taxpayer, at the end of the taxpayer’s base year, of a transition property of the taxpayer. (montant transitoire)
transition property of a taxpayer means a property that
was a specified debt obligation held by the taxpayer at the end of the taxpayer’s base year;
was not a mark-to-market property of the taxpayer for the taxpayer’s base year, but would have been a mark-to-market property of the taxpayer for the taxpayer’s base year if the property had been carried at the property’s fair market value in the taxpayer’s balance sheet as at the end of each taxation year of the taxpayer that ends after the taxpayer last acquired the property (otherwise than by reason of a reacquisition under subsection 142.5(2)) and before the commencement of the taxpayer’s transition year; and
was a mark-to-market property of the taxpayer for the transition year of the taxpayer. (bien transitoire)
transition year of a taxpayer means the taxpayer’s first taxation year that begins after September 2006. (année transitoire)
If a taxpayer is a financial institution in its transition year, there shall be included in computing the taxpayer’s income for its transition year the absolute value of the negative amount, if any, of the taxpayer’s transition amount.
If a taxpayer is a financial institution in its transition year, there shall be deducted in computing the taxpayer’s income for its transition year the positive amount, if any, of the taxpayer’s transition amount.
If an amount has been included under subsection (2) in computing a taxpayer’s income for its transition year there shall be deducted in computing the taxpayer’s income for each particular taxation year of the taxpayer that ends after the beginning of the transition year, and in which particular taxation year the taxpayer is a financial institution, the amount determined by the formula A × B/1825 where A is the amount included under subsection (2) in computing the taxpayer’s income for the transition year; and B is the number of days in the particular taxation year that are before the day that is 1825 days after the first day of the transition year.
If an amount has been deducted under subsection (3) in computing a taxpayer’s income for its transition year, there shall be included in computing the taxpayer’s income, for each particular taxation year of the taxpayer ending after the beginning of the transition year, and in which particular taxation year the taxpayer is a financial institution, the amount determined by the formula A × B/1825 where A is the amount deducted under subsection (3) in computing the taxpayer’s income for the transition year; and B is the number of days in the particular taxation year that are before the day that is 1825 days after the first day of the transition year.
If a taxpayer has, in a winding-up to which subsection 88(1) has applied, been wound-up into another corporation (referred to in this subsection as the “parent”), and immediately after the winding-up the parent is a financial institution, in applying subsections (4) and (5) in computing the income of the taxpayer and of the parent for particular taxation years that end on or after the first day (referred to in this subsection as the “start day”) on which assets of the taxpayer were distributed to the parent on the winding-up,
the parent is, on and after the start day, deemed to be the same corporation as and a continuation of the taxpayer in respect of
any amount included under subsection (2) or deducted under subsection (3) by the taxpayer in computing the taxpayer’s income for its transition year,
any amount deducted under subsection (4) or included under subsection (5) in computing the taxpayer’s income for a taxation year of the taxpayer that begins before the start day, and
any amount that would — in the absence of this subsection and if the taxpayer existed and was a financial institution on each day that is the start day or a subsequent day and on which the parent is a financial institution — be required to be deducted or included, in respect of any of those days, under subsection (4) or (5) in computing the taxpayer’s income for its transition year; and
the taxpayer is, in respect of each of its particular taxation years, to determine the value for B in the formulas in subsections (4) and (5) without reference to the start day and days after the start day.
If there is an amalgamation (within the meaning assigned by subsection 87(1)) of a taxpayer with one or more other corporations to form one corporation (referred to in this subsection as the “new corporation”), and immediately after the amalgamation the new corporation is a financial institution, in applying subsections (4) and (5) in computing the income of the new corporation for particular taxation years of the new corporation that begin on or after the day on which the amalgamation occurred, the new corporation is, on and after that day, deemed to be the same corporation as and a continuation of the taxpayer in respect of
any amount included under subsection (2) or deducted under subsection (3) in computing the taxpayer’s income for its transition year of the taxpayer;
any amount deducted under subsection (4) or included under subsection (5) in computing the taxpayer’s income for a taxation year of the taxpayer that begins before the day on which the amalgamation occurred; and
any amount that would — in the absence of this subsection and if the taxpayer existed and was a financial institution on each day that is the day on which the amalgamation occurred or a subsequent day and on which the new corporation is a financial institution — be required to be deducted or included, in respect of any of those days, under subsection (4) or (5) in computing the taxpayer’s income.
Subsection (9) applies if, at any time, a taxpayer (referred to in this subsection and subsection (9) as the “transferor”) transfers, to a corporation (referred to in this subsection and subsection (9) as the “transferee”) that is related to the transferor, property in respect of a business carried on by the transferor in Canada (referred to in this subsection and subsection (9) as the “transferred business”) and
subsection 138(11.5) or (11.94) applies to the transfer; or
subsection 85(1) applies to the transfer, the transfer includes all or substantially all of the property and liabilities of the transferred business and, immediately after the transfer, the transferee is a financial institution.
If this subsection applies in respect of the transfer, at any time, of property
the transferee is, at and after that time, deemed to be the same corporation as and a continuation of the transferor in respect of
any amount included under subsection (2) or deducted under subsection (3) in computing the transferor’s income for its transition year that can reasonably be attributed to the transferred business,
any amount deducted under subsection (4) or included under subsection (5) in computing the transferor’s income for a taxation year of the transferor that begins before that time that can reasonably be attributed to the transferred business, and
any amount that would — in the absence of this subsection and if the transferor existed and was a financial institution on each day that includes that time or is a subsequent day and on which the transferee is a financial institution — be required to be deducted or included, in respect of any of those days, under subsection (4) or (5) in computing the transferor’s income that can reasonably be attributed to the transferred business; and
in determining, in respect of the day that includes that time or any subsequent day, any amount that is required under subsection (4) or (5) to be deducted or included in computing the transferor’s income for each particular taxation year from the transferred business, the description of A in the formulas in those subsections is deemed to be nil.
If subsection 98(6) deems a partnership (in this subsection referred to as the “new partnership”) to be a continuation of another partnership (in this subsection referred to as the “predecessor partnership”) and, at the time that is immediately after the predecessor partnership ceases to exist, the new partnership is a financial institution, in applying subsections (4) and (5) in computing the income of the new partnership for particular taxation years of the new partnership that begin on or after the day on which it comes into existence, the new partnership is, on and after that day, deemed to be the same partnership as and a continuation of the predecessor partnership in respect of
any amount that would — in the absence of this subsection and if the predecessor partnership existed and was a financial institution on each day that is the day on which the new partnership comes into existence or a subsequent day and on which the new partnership is a financial institution — be required to be deducted or included, in respect of any of those days, under subsection (4) or (5) in computing the predecessor partnership’s income.
any amount deducted under subsection (4) or included under subsection (5) in computing the predecessor partnership’s income for a taxation year of the predecessor partnership that begins before the day on which the new partnership comes into existence; and
any amount included under subsection (2) or deducted under subsection (3) in computing the predecessor partnership’s income for its transition year;
If at any time, a taxpayer ceases to be a financial institution
there shall be deducted, in computing the income of the taxpayer for the taxation year of the taxpayer that includes the time that is immediately before that time, the amount determined by the formula A – B where A is the amount included under subsection (2) in computing the taxpayer’s income for its transition year, and B is the total of all amounts each of which is an amount deducted under subsection (4) in computing the income of the taxpayer for a taxation year that began before that time; and
there shall be included, in computing the income of the taxpayer for the taxation year of the taxpayer that includes the time that is immediately before that time, the amount determined by the formula C – D where C is the amount deducted under subsection (3) in computing the taxpayer’s income for its transition year, and D is the total of all amounts each of which is an amount included under subsection (5) in computing the taxpayer’s income for a taxation year that began before that time.
If at any time a taxpayer ceases to exist (otherwise than as a result of a merger to which subsection 87(2) applies, a winding-up to which subsection 88(1) applies or a continuation to which subsection 98(6) applies), for the purposes of subsection (11), the taxpayer is deemed to have ceased to be a financial institution at the earlier of
the time (determined without reference to this subsection) at which the taxpayer ceased to be a financial institution, and
the time that is immediately before the end of the last taxation year of the taxpayer that ended at or before the time at which the taxpayer ceased to exist.
Where, at a particular time after February 22, 1994, a taxpayer becomes or ceases to be a financial institution,
where a taxation year of the taxpayer would not, but for this paragraph, end immediately before the particular time,
except for the purpose of subsection 132(6.1), the taxpayer’s taxation year that would otherwise have included the particular time is deemed to have ended immediately before that time and a new taxation year of the taxpayer is deemed to have begun at that time, and
for the purpose of determining the taxpayer’s fiscal period after the particular time, the taxpayer shall be deemed not to have established a fiscal period before that time;
if the taxpayer becomes a financial institution, the taxpayer is deemed to have disposed, immediately before the end of its particular taxation year that ends immediately before the particular time, of each of the following properties held by the taxpayer for proceeds equal to the property’s fair market value at the time of that disposition:
a specified debt obligation, or
a mark-to-market property of the taxpayer for the particular taxation year or for the taxpayer’s taxation year that includes the particular time;
where the taxpayer ceases to be a financial institution, the taxpayer shall be deemed to have disposed, immediately before the end of its taxation year that ends immediately before the particular time, of each property held by the taxpayer that is a specified debt obligation (other than a mark-to-market property of the taxpayer for the year), for proceeds equal to its fair market value at the time of disposition; and
the taxpayer is deemed to have reacquired, at the end of its taxation year that ends immediately before the particular time, each property deemed by paragraph (b) or (c) to have been disposed of by the taxpayer, at a cost equal to the proceeds of disposition of the property.
If at a particular time in a taxation year a taxpayer that is a non-resident financial institution (other than a life insurance corporation) ceases to use, in connection with a business or part of a business carried on by the taxpayer in Canada immediately before the particular time, a property that is a mark-to-market property of the taxpayer for the year or a specified debt obligation, but that is not a property that was disposed of by the taxpayer at the particular time,
the taxpayer is deemed
to have disposed of the property immediately before the time that was immediately before the particular time for proceeds equal to its fair market value at the time of disposition and to have received those proceeds at the time of disposition in the course of carrying on the business or the part of the business, as the case may be, and
to have reacquired the property at the particular time at a cost equal to those proceeds; and
in determining the consequences of the disposition in subparagraph (a)(i), subsection 142.4(11) does not apply to any payment received by the taxpayer after the particular time.
If at a particular time a taxpayer that is a non-resident financial institution (other than a life insurance corporation) begins to use, in connection with a business or part of a business carried on by the taxpayer in Canada, a property that is a mark-to-market property of the taxpayer for the year that includes the particular time or a specified debt obligation, but that is not a property that was acquired by the taxpayer at the particular time, the taxpayer is deemed
to have disposed of the property immediately before the time that was immediately before the particular time for proceeds equal to its fair market value at the time of disposition; and
to have reacquired the property at the particular time at a cost equal to those proceeds.
In applying subsection (1.1) to a taxpayer in respect of a property in a taxation year,
the definition mark-to-market property in subsection 142.2(1) shall be applied as if the year ended immediately before the particular time referred to in subsection (1.1); and
if the taxpayer does not have financial statements for the period ending immediately before the particular time referred to in subsection (1.1), references in the definition to financial statements for the year shall be read as references to the financial statements that it is reasonable to expect would have been prepared if the year had ended immediately before the particular time.
If, at any particular time in a taxation year of a taxpayer that is a financial institution for the taxation year, a property becomes a mark-to-market property of the taxpayer for the taxation year because it ceased, at the particular time, to be a prescribed payment card corporation share of the taxpayer,
the taxpayer is deemed
to have disposed of the property immediately before the particular time for proceeds of disposition equal to its fair market value immediately before the particular time, and
to have acquired the property, at the particular time, at a cost equal to those proceeds; and
subsection 142.5(1) does not apply to the disposition under subparagraph (a)(i).
If, at any particular time in a taxation year of a taxpayer that is a financial institution for the taxation year, a property becomes a mark-to-market property of the taxpayer for the taxation year because it ceased, at the particular time, to be a prescribed securities exchange investment of the taxpayer,
the taxpayer is deemed
to have disposed of the property immediately before the particular time for proceeds of disposition equal to its fair market value immediately before the particular time, and
to have acquired the property, at the particular time, at a cost equal to those proceeds; and
subsection 142.5(1) does not apply to the disposition under subparagraph (a)(i).
If, at the end of a particular taxation year of a taxpayer that is a financial institution for the taxation year, the taxpayer holds a share of the capital stock of a corporation, the taxpayer has a significant interest in that corporation at any time in the particular taxation year and the share is mark-to-market property of the taxpayer for the immediately following taxation year, the taxpayer is deemed to have,
disposed of the share immediately before the end of the particular taxation year for proceeds of disposition equal to the fair market value, at that time, of the share; and
acquired the share at the end of the particular taxation year at a cost equal to those proceeds.
For the purposes of this Act, the determination of when a taxpayer acquired a share shall be made without regard to a disposition or acquisition that occurred because of subsection 142.5(2) or subsection (1), (1.1), (1.2), (1.4), (1.5) or (1.6).
Where a taxpayer is a financial institution in a taxation year, inventory of the taxpayer in the year does not include property that is
a specified debt obligation (other than a mark-to-market property for the year); or
where the year begins after October 1994, a mark-to-market property for the year.
Where a taxpayer that was a financial institution in its particular taxation year that includes February 23, 1994 held, on that day, a specified debt obligation (other than a mark-to-market property for the year) that was inventory of the taxpayer at the end of its preceding taxation year,
the taxpayer shall be deemed to have disposed of the property at the beginning of the particular year for proceeds equal to
where subparagraph 142.6(4)(a)(ii) does not apply, the amount at which the property was valued at the end of the preceding taxation year for the purpose of computing the taxpayer’s income for the year, and
where the taxpayer is a bank and the property is prescribed property for the particular year, the cost of the property to the taxpayer (determined without reference to paragraph 142.6(4)(b));
for the purpose of determining the taxpayer’s profit or loss from the disposition, the cost of the property to the taxpayer shall be deemed to be the amount referred to in subparagraph 142.6(4)(a)(i); and
the taxpayer shall be deemed to have reacquired the property, immediately after the beginning of the particular year, at a cost equal to the proceeds of disposition of the property.
Where,
on February 23, 1994, a financial institution that is a corporation held a specified debt obligation (other than a mark-to-market property for the taxation year that includes that day) that was at any particular time before that day held by another corporation, and
between the particular time and February 23, 1994, the only transactions affecting the ownership of the property were rollover transactions,
the financial institution shall be deemed, in respect of that obligation, to be the same corporation as, and a continuation of, the other corporation.
For the purpose of subsection 142.6(5), rollover transaction means a transaction to which subsection 87(2), 88(1) or 138(11.5) or 138(11.94) applies, other than a transaction to which paragraph 138(11.5)(e) requires the provisions of subsection 85(1) to be applied.
Subsection 18(13) does not apply to the disposition of a property by a taxpayer after October 30, 1994 where
the taxpayer is a financial institution when the disposition occurs and the property is a specified debt obligation or a mark-to-market property for the taxation year in which the disposition occurs; or
the disposition occurs because of paragraph 142.6(1)(b).
Where a taxpayer that is a financial institution in its first taxation year that ends after February 22, 1994 so elects by notifying the Minister in writing before July 1998 or within 90 days after the day on which a notice of assessment of tax payable under this Part for the year, notification that no tax is payable under this Part for the year or notification that an election made by the taxpayer under this subsection is deemed by subsection 142.6(9) or 142.6(10) not to have been made is mailed to the taxpayer,
each property of the taxpayer
that was a capital property (other than a depreciable property) of the taxpayer at the end of the taxpayer’s last taxation year that ended before February 23, 1994,
that was a mark-to-market property for, or a specified debt obligation in, the taxpayer’s first taxation year that begins after that time,
that had a fair market value at that time greater than its adjusted cost base to the taxpayer at that time, and
that is designated by the taxpayer in the election
is deemed to have been disposed of by the taxpayer at that time for proceeds of disposition equal to, and to have been reacquired by the taxpayer immediately after that time at a cost equal to, the lesser of
the fair market value of the property at that time, and
the greater of the adjusted cost base to the taxpayer of the property immediately before that time and the amount designated by the taxpayer in the election in respect of the property;
each property of the taxpayer
that was a capital property (other than a depreciable property) of the taxpayer at the end of the taxpayer’s last taxation year that ended before February 23, 1994,
that was not a mark-to-market property for, or a specified debt obligation in, the taxpayer’s first taxation year that begins after that time,
that had an adjusted cost base to the taxpayer at that time greater than its fair market value at that time, and
that is designated by the taxpayer in the election
is deemed to have been disposed of by the taxpayer at that time for proceeds of disposition equal to, and to have been reacquired by the taxpayer immediately after that time at a cost equal to, the greater of
the fair market value of the property at that time, and
the lesser of the adjusted cost base to the taxpayer of the property immediately before that time and the amount designated by the taxpayer in the election in respect of the property; and
notwithstanding subsections 152(4) to 152(5), such assessment of the taxpayer’s tax payable under this Act for the taxpayer’s last taxation year that ended before February 23, 1994 shall be made as is necessary to take the election into account.
Where a taxpayer has made an election under subsection 142.6(8) in which a property was designated under subparagraph 142.6(8)(a)(iv), the election is deemed not to have been made where
the amount that would be the taxpayer’s taxable capital gains from dispositions of property for the taxpayer’s last taxation year that ended before February 23, 1994 if this subsection and subsection 142.6(10) did not apply
exceeds the total of
the amount that would be the taxpayer’s allowable capital losses for the year from dispositions of property if this subsection and subsection 142.6(10) did not apply,
the maximum amount that would have been deductible in computing the taxpayer’s taxable income for the year in respect of the taxpayer’s net capital losses for preceding taxation years if there were sufficient taxable capital gains for the year from dispositions of property, and
the amount, if any, by which
the amount that would be the taxpayer’s taxable capital gains for the taxpayer’s last taxation year that ended before February 23, 1994 from dispositions of property if no election were made under subsection 142.6(8)
exceeds the total of
the amount that would be the taxpayer’s allowable capital losses for the year from dispositions of property if no election were made under subsection 142.6(8), and
the maximum amount that would have been deductible in computing the taxpayer’s taxable income for the year in respect of the taxpayer’s net capital losses for preceding taxation years if no election were made under subsection 142.6(8).
Where a taxpayer has made an election under subsection 142.6(8) in which a property was designated under subparagraph 142.6(8)(b)(iv), the election is deemed not to have been made where
the total of the amounts determined under paragraphs 142.6(9)(b) and 142.6(9)(c) in respect of the taxpayer exceeds the amount determined under paragraph 142.6(9)(a) in respect of the taxpayer; or
the total of all amounts each of which would, if this subsection did not apply, be the taxpayer’s allowable capital loss for the taxpayer’s last taxation year that ended before February 23, 1994 from the disposition of a property deemed to have been disposed of under paragraph 142.6(8)(b) exceeds the total of all amounts each of which is the taxpayer’s taxable capital gain for the year from the disposition of a property deemed to have been disposed of under paragraph 142.6(8)(a).
The definitions in this subsection apply in this section.

the Minister of Finance has issued letters patent under section 342 of the Bank Act or section 347 of the Trust and Loan Companies Act dissolving the Canadian affiliate or an order under section 345 of the Bank Act or section 350 of the Trust and Loan Companies Act approving the Canadian affiliate’s application for dissolution (such letters patent or order being referred to in this subsection as the “dissolution order”), or
the affiliate has been wound up under the terms of the corporate law that governs it,
the entrant bank carries on all or part of the business in Canada that was formerly carried on by the Canadian affiliate, and
the Canadian affiliate and the entrant bank jointly elect in accordance with subsection (11) to have this section apply
subject to paragraphs (e) and (h), the portion of a non-capital loss of the Canadian affiliate for a taxation year (in this paragraph referred to as the “Canadian affiliate’s loss year”) that can reasonably be regarded as being its loss from carrying on a business in Canada (in this paragraph referred to as the “loss business”) or being in respect of a claim made under section 110.5, to the extent that it
was not deducted in computing the taxable income of the Canadian affiliate or any other entrant bank for any taxation year, and
would have been deductible in computing the taxable income of the Canadian affiliate for any taxation year that begins after the date of the dissolution order or the commencement of the winding up, as the case may be, on the assumption that it had such a taxation year and that it had sufficient income for that year,
if at any time control of the Canadian affiliate or entrant bank has been acquired by a person or group of persons, no amount in respect of the Canadian affiliate’s non-capital loss for a taxation year that ends before that time is deductible in computing the taxable income earned in Canada of the entrant bank for a particular taxation year that ends after that time, except that the portion of the loss that can reasonably be regarded as the Canadian affiliate’s loss from carrying on a business in Canada and, where a business was carried on by the Canadian affiliate in Canada in the earlier year, the portion of the loss that can reasonably be regarded as being in respect of an amount deductible under paragraph 110(1)(k) in computing its taxable income for the year are deductible only

subject to paragraphs (g) and (h), a net capital loss of the Canadian affiliate for a taxation year (in this paragraph referred to as the “Canadian affiliate’s loss year”) is deemed to be a net capital loss of the entrant bank for its taxation year in which the Canadian affiliate’s loss year ended to the extent that the loss
was not deducted in computing the taxable income of the Canadian affiliate or any other entrant bank for any taxation year, and
would have been deductible in computing the taxable income of the Canadian affiliate for any taxation year beginning after the date of the dissolution order or the commencement of the winding-up, as the case may be, on the assumption that the Canadian affiliate had such a taxation year and that it had sufficient income and taxable capital gains for that year,
if at any time control of the Canadian affiliate or the entrant bank has been acquired by a person or group of persons, no amount in respect of the Canadian affiliate’s net capital loss for a taxation year that ends before that time is deductible in computing the entrant bank’s taxable income earned in Canada for a taxation year that ends after that time, and
any loss of the Canadian affiliate that would otherwise be deemed by paragraph (d) or (f) to be a loss of the entrant bank for a particular taxation year that begins after the date of the dissolution order or the commencement of the winding-up, as the case may be, is deemed, for the purpose of computing the entrant bank’s taxable income earned in Canada for taxation years that begin after that date, to be such a loss of the entrant bank for its immediately preceding taxation year and not for the particular year, if the entrant bank so elects in its return of income for the particular year.
If a Canadian affiliate and its entrant bank have at any time made a joint election under either of subsection (3) or (12),

in respect of any property of the Canadian affiliate appropriated to or for the benefit of the entrant bank or any person with whom the entrant bank does not deal at arm’s length, section 69(5) shall be read without reference to paragraph (d); and
for the purposes of applying subsection 13(21.2), 14(12), 18(15) and 40(3.4) to any property that was disposed of by the affiliate, after the dissolution or winding-up of the affiliate, the entrant bank is deemed to be the same corporation as, and a continuation of, the affiliate.
If a Canadian affiliate of an entrant bank and the entrant bank meet the conditions set out in paragraphs (12)(a) and (b) and jointly elect in accordance with subsection (11) to have this subsection apply, and the Canadian affiliate has not made an election under this subsection with any other entrant bank, the entrant bank is deemed to be the same corporation as, and a continuation of, the Canadian affiliate for the purposes of paragraphs 142.4(4)(c) and (d) in respect of any specified debt obligation disposed of by the Canadian affiliate.

if the issuance or creation of the interest is not a consequence of the exercise of an option, the amount, if any, by which the fair market value of the interest at the particular time exceeds
if the transaction under which the interest is issued is a transaction to which paragraph 70(6)(b) or 73(1.01)(c), subsection 97(2) or section 107.4 or 132.2 applies, the amount determined under that provision to be the cost to the taxpayer of the property acquired for the interest, or
in any other case, the amount of the consideration that is the fair market value of the property transferred or issued to, or the services provided to, the taxpayer for the interest; and
if the issuance or creation of the interest is a consequence of the exercise of an option, the amount, if any, by which the fair market value of the interest at the particular time exceeds the amount paid, pursuant to the terms of the option, by the holder to the taxpayer for the interest.
For greater certainty,
subsection (2) does not apply to reduce an expenditure that is a commission, fee or other amount for services rendered by a person as a salesperson, agent or dealer in securities in the course of the issuance of an option;
subsections (3) and (4) do not apply to reduce an expenditure of a taxpayer to the extent that the expenditure does not include an amount determined to be an excess under those subsections;
this section does not apply to determine the cost or capital cost of property determined under subsection 70(6), section 73, 85 or 85.1, subsection 97(2) or section 107.4, 132.2 or 138; and
this section does not apply to determine the amount of a taxpayer’s expenditure if the amount of the expenditure as determined under section 69 is less than the amount that would, if this subsection were read without reference to this paragraph, be the amount of the expenditure as determined under this section.
The following definitions apply in this section.
contingent amount, of a taxpayer at any time (other than a time at which the taxpayer is a bankrupt), includes an amount to the extent that the taxpayer, or another taxpayer that does not deal at arm’s length with the taxpayer, has a right to reduce the amount at that time. (montant éventuel)
expenditure, of a taxpayer, means an expense, expenditure or outlay made or incurred by the taxpayer, or a cost or capital cost of property acquired by the taxpayer. (dépense)
right to reduce means a right to reduce or eliminate an amount in respect of an expenditure at any time, including, for greater certainty, a right to reduce that is contingent upon the occurrence of an event, or in any other way contingent, if it is reasonable to conclude, having regard to all the circumstances, that the right will become exercisable. (droit de réduire)
taxpayer includes a partnership. (contribuable)
For the purposes of this Act, if in a taxation year of a taxpayer an expenditure of the taxpayer occurs, the amount of the expenditure at any time is the lesser of
the amount of the expenditure at the time calculated under this Act without reference to this section, and
the least amount of the expenditure calculated by reducing the amount of the expenditure determined under paragraph (a) by the amount that is the amount, if any, by which
the total of all amounts each of which is a contingent amount of the taxpayer in the year in respect of the expenditure
exceeds
the total of all amounts each of which is
an amount paid by the taxpayer to obtain a right to reduce an amount in respect of the expenditure, or
a limited-recourse amount for the purposes of paragraph 143.2(6)(b) that reduces the expenditure under subsection 143.2(6) to the extent that the amount is also a contingent amount described in subparagraph (i) in respect of the expenditure.
For the purposes of this Act, if in a particular taxation year, a taxpayer pays all or a portion of a contingent amount referred to in paragraph (2)(b) that reduces the amount of the taxpayer’s expenditure referred to in paragraph (2)(a), the portion of the contingent amount paid by the taxpayer in the particular year for the purpose of earning income, and to that extent only, is deemed
to have been incurred by the taxpayer in the particular year;
to have been incurred for the same purpose and to have the same character as the expenditure so reduced; and
to have become payable by the taxpayer in respect of the particular year.
Subject to subsection (6), if at any time in a taxation year that is after a taxation year in which an expenditure of the taxpayer occurred, the taxpayer, or another taxpayer not dealing at arm’s length with the taxpayer, has a right to reduce an amount in respect of the expenditure (in this subsection and subsection (5) referred to as the “prior expenditure”) that would, if the taxpayer or the other taxpayer had had the right to reduce in a particular taxation year that ended before the time, have resulted in subsection (2) applying in the particular taxation year to reduce or eliminate the amount of the prior expenditure, the taxpayer’s subsequent contingent amount in respect of the prior expenditure, as determined under subsection (5), is deemed, to the extent subsection (2) and this subsection have not previously applied in respect of the expenditure,
to be an amount received by the taxpayer at the time in the course of earning income from a business or property from a person described in subparagraph 12(1)(x)(i); and
to be an amount referred to in subparagraph 12(1)(x)(iv).
For the purposes of subsection (4), a taxpayer’s subsequent contingent amount in respect of a prior expenditure of the taxpayer is the amount, if any, by which
the maximum amount by which the amount (in this subsection referred to as the “particular amount”) in respect of the prior expenditure may be reduced pursuant to a right to reduce the particular amount
exceeds
the amount, if any, paid to obtain the right to reduce the particular amount.
If a taxpayer, or another taxpayer that does not deal at arm’s length with the taxpayer, has a right to reduce an amount in respect of an expenditure of the taxpayer in a taxation year that is after the taxation year in which the expenditure otherwise occurred, determined without reference to subsection (3), the taxpayer is deemed to have the right to reduce in the taxation year in which that expenditure otherwise occurred if it is reasonable to conclude having regard to all the circumstances that one of the purposes for having the right to reduce after the end of the year in which the expenditure otherwise occurred was to avoid the application of subsection (2) to the amount of the expenditure.
Notwithstanding subsections 152(4) to (5), such assessments, determinations and redeterminations may be made as are necessary to give effect to this section.
The definitions in this subsection apply in this section.
employees profit sharing plan at a particular time means an arrangement
under which payments computed by reference to
an employer’s profits from the employer’s business,

are required to be made by the employer to a trustee under the arrangement for the benefit of employees of the employer or of a corporation with which the employer does not deal at arm’s length; and
in respect of which the trustee has, since the later of the beginning of the arrangement and the end of 1949, allocated, either contingently or absolutely, to those employees
in each year that ended at or before the particular time, all amounts received in the year by the trustee from the employer or from a corporation with which the employer does not deal at arm’s length,
in each year that ended at or before the particular time, all profits for the year from the property of the trust (determined without regard to any capital gain made by the trust or capital loss sustained by it at any time after 1955),

in each year that ended after 1971, before 1993 and at or before the particular time, 100/15 of the total of all amounts each of which is deemed by subsection 144(9) to be paid on account of tax under this Part in respect of an employee because the employee ceased to be a beneficiary under the plan in the year, and
in each year that ended after 1991 and at or before the particular time, the total of all amounts each of which is an amount that may be deducted under subsection 144(9) in computing the employee’s income because the employee ceased to be a beneficiary under the plan in the year. (régime de participation des employés aux bénéfices)
unused portion of a beneficiary’s exempt capital gains balance in respect of a trust governed by an employees profit sharing plan, at any particular time in a taxation year of the beneficiary, means
where the year ends before 2005, the amount, if any, by which the beneficiary’s exempt capital gains balance (in this paragraph having the same meaning as in subsection 39.1(1)) in respect of the trust for the year exceeds the total of all amounts each of which is an amount by which a capital gain is reduced under section 39.1 in the year because of the beneficiary’s exempt capital gains balance in respect of the trust; or
where the year ends after 2004, the amount, if any, by which
the amount, if any, that would, if the definition exempt capital gains balance in subsection 39.1(1) were read without reference to “that ends before 2005”, be the beneficiary’s exempt capital gains balance in respect of the trust for the year
exceeds
where there has been a disposition of an interest or a part of an interest of the beneficiary in the trust after the beneficiary’s 2004 taxation year (other than a disposition that is a part of a transaction described in paragraph 144(7.1)(c) in which property is received in satisfaction of all or a portion of the beneficiary’s interests in the trust), the total of all amounts each of which is an amount by which the adjusted cost base of an interest or a part of an interest disposed of by the beneficiary (other than an interest or a part of an interest that is all or a portion of the beneficiary’s interests referred to in paragraph 144(7.1)(c)) was increased because of paragraph 53(1)(p), and
in any other case, nil. (fraction inutilisée du solde des gains en capital exonérés)
No tax is payable under this Part by a trust on the taxable income of the trust for a taxation year throughout which the trust is governed by an employees profit sharing plan.
There shall be included in computing the income for a taxation year of an employee who is a beneficiary under an employees profit sharing plan each amount that is allocated to the employee contingently or absolutely by the trustee under the plan at any time in the year otherwise than in respect of
a payment made by the employee to the trustee;
a capital gain made by the trust before 1972;
a capital gain of the trust for a taxation year ending after 1971;
a gain made by the trust after 1971 from the disposition of a capital property except to the extent that the gain is a capital gain described in paragraph 144(3)(c); or
a dividend received by the trust from a taxable Canadian corporation.
[Repealed, 1994, c. 21, s. 68(2)]
Each capital gain and capital loss of a trust governed by an employees profit sharing plan from the disposition of any property shall, to the extent that it is allocated by the trust to an employee who is a beneficiary under the plan, be deemed to be a capital gain or capital loss, as the case may be, of the employee from the disposition of that property for the taxation year of the employee in which the allocation was made and, for the purposes of section 110.6, the property shall be deemed to have been disposed of by the employee on the day on which it was disposed of by the trust.
Notwithstanding subsection 26(6) of the Income Tax Application Rules, where at any time before 1976 the trustee of a trust governed by an employees profit sharing plan so elects in prescribed manner, the trust shall be deemed
to have, on December 31, 1971, disposed of each property owned by the trust on that day for proceeds of disposition equal to the fair market value of the property on that day, and
to have, on January 1, 1972, reacquired each property described in paragraph 144(4.1)(a) for the amount referred to in that paragraph,
if the trustee under the plan has, before 1976, allocated the total of all capital gains and capital losses resulting from the deemed dispositions among the employees or other beneficiaries under the plan to the extent that the trustee under the plan has not previously so allocated them.
Where a trust governed by an employees profit sharing plan
was governed by an employees profit sharing plan on December 31, 1971, and the trustee of the trust has made an election under subsection 144(4.1), or
was not governed by an employees profit sharing plan on December 31, 1971,
the trustee of the trust may, in any taxation year after 1973, elect in prescribed manner and prescribed form to treat any capital property of the trust as having been disposed of, in which event the property shall be deemed to have been disposed of on any day designated by the trustee for proceeds of disposition equal to
the fair market value of the property on that day,
the adjusted cost base to the trust of the property on that day, or
an amount that is neither greater than the greater of the amounts determined under paragraphs 144(4.2)(c) and 144(4.2)(d) nor less than the lesser of the amounts determined under those paragraphs
whichever is designated by the trustee and to have been reacquired by the trust immediately thereafter at a cost equal to those proceeds.
An amount paid by an employer to a trustee under an employees profit sharing plan during a taxation year or within 120 days thereafter may be deducted in computing the employer’s income for the taxation year to the extent that it was not deductible in computing income for a previous taxation year.
An amount received in a taxation year by a beneficiary from a trustee under an employees profit sharing plan shall not be included in computing the beneficiary’s income for the year.
Notwithstanding subsection 144(6), such portion of an amount received in a taxation year by a beneficiary from the trustee under an employees profit sharing plan as cannot be established to be attributable to
payments made by the employee to the trustee,
amounts required to be included in computing the income of the employee for that or a previous taxation year,
a capital gain made by the trust before 1972,
a capital gain made by the trust for a taxation year ending after 1971, to the extent allocated by the trust to the beneficiary,
a gain made by the trust after 1971 from the disposition of a capital property, except to the extent that the gain is a capital gain made by the trust for a taxation year ending after 1971,
the portion, if any, of the increase in the value of property transferred to the beneficiary by the trustee that would have been considered to be a capital gain made by the trust in 1971 if the trustee had sold the property on December 31, 1971 for its fair market value at that time, or
a dividend received by the trust from a taxable Canadian corporation other than a dividend described in subsection 83(1), to the extent allocated by the trust to the beneficiary,
shall be included in computing the beneficiary’s income for the year in which the amount was received, except that in determining the amount of any payments or other things described in any paragraph of this subsection, the amount thereof otherwise determined shall be reduced by such portion of the total of all capital losses of the trust for taxation years ending after 1971 as has been allocated by the trust to the beneficiary and has not been applied to reduce the amount of any payments or other things described in any other paragraph of this subsection.
Where, at any particular time in a taxation year of a trust governed by an employees profit sharing plan, an amount was received by a beneficiary from the trustee under the plan and the amount so received was property other than money, the following rules apply in respect of each such property so received by the beneficiary at the particular time:
the amount that was the cost amount to the trust of the property immediately before the particular time shall be deemed to be the trust’s proceeds of disposition of the property;
that proportion of
such portion of the amount received by the beneficiary as can be established to be attributable to the payments or other things described in paragraphs 144(7)(a) to 144(7)(g) (on the assumption that the amount of any payments or other things described in any such paragraph is the amount thereof determined as provided in subsection 144(7))
that
the cost amount to the trust of the property immediately before the particular time
is of
the cost amounts to the trust of all properties, other than money, so received by the beneficiary at the particular time,
is subject to paragraph 144(7.1)(c), deemed to be
the cost to the beneficiary of the property, and
for the purposes of subsection 144(7) but not for the purposes of this subsection, the amount so received by the beneficiary by virtue of the receipt by the beneficiary of the property; and
where a particular property received is all or a portion of property received in satisfaction of all or a portion of the beneficiary’s interests in the trust and the beneficiary files with the Minister on or before the beneficiary’s filing-due date for the taxation year that includes the particular time an election in respect of the particular property in prescribed form, there shall be included in the cost to the beneficiary of the particular property determined under paragraph 144(7.1)(b) the least of
the amount, if any, by which the unused portion of the beneficiary’s exempt capital gains balance in respect of the trust at the particular time exceeds the total of all amounts each of which is an amount included because of this paragraph in the cost to the beneficiary of another property received by the beneficiary at or before the particular time in the year,
the amount, if any, by which the fair market value of the particular property at the particular time exceeds the amount deemed by subparagraph 144(7.1)(b)(iv) to be the cost to the beneficiary of the particular property, and
the amount designated in the election in respect of the particular property.
Where there has been included in computing the income of a trust for a taxation year during which the trust was governed by an employees profit sharing plan taxable dividends from taxable Canadian corporations and there has been allocated by the trustee under the plan for the purposes of this subsection an amount for the year to one or more of the employees who are beneficiaries under the plan, which amount or the total of which amounts does not exceed the amount of the taxable dividends so included, each of the employees who are beneficiaries under the plan shall be deemed to have received a taxable dividend from a taxable Canadian corporation equal to the lesser of
the amount, if any, that would be included in computing the employee’s income for the year by virtue of this section, if this section were read without reference to paragraph 144(3)(e), and
the amount, if any, so allocated for the purposes of this subsection to the employee.
For the purpose of subsection 126(1), the following rules apply:
such portion of the income for a taxation year of a trust governed by an employees profit sharing plan from sources (other than businesses carried on by it) in a foreign country as
may reasonably be considered (having regard to all the circumstances including the terms and conditions of the plan) to be part of
the income that, by virtue of subsection 144(3), was included in computing the income for a taxation year of a particular employee who was a beneficiary under the plan, or
the amount, if any, by which exceeds
the total of amounts each of which is a capital gain of the trust that, by virtue of subsection 144(4), was deemed to be a capital gain of the particular employee for a taxation year
the total of amounts each of which is a capital loss of the trust that, by virtue of subsection 144(4), was deemed to be a capital loss of the particular employee for the taxation year, and
was not designated by the trust in respect of any other employee who was a beneficiary under the plan,
shall if so designated by the trust in respect of the particular employee in its return of income for the year under this Part, be deemed to be income of the particular employee for the taxation year from sources in that country; and
an employee who is a beneficiary under an employees profit sharing plan shall be deemed to have paid as non-business-income tax for a taxation year, on the income that the employee is deemed by paragraph 144(8.1)(a) to have for the year from sources in a foreign country, to the government of that country an amount equal to that proportion of the non-business-income tax paid by the trust governed by the plan for the year to the government of that country, or to the government of a state, province or other political subdivision of that country (except such portion of that tax as was deductible under subsection 20(11) in computing its income for the year) that
the income that the employee is deemed by paragraph 144(8.1)(a) to have for the year from sources in that country
is of
the income of the trust for the year from sources (other than businesses carried on by it) in that country.
[Repealed, 1994, c. 21, s. 68(3)]
Where a person ceases at any time in a taxation year to be a beneficiary under an employees profit sharing plan and does not become a beneficiary under the plan after that time and in the year, there may be deducted in computing the person’s income for the year the amount determined by the formula A - B - C/4 - D where A is the total of all amounts each of which is an amount included in computing the person’s income for the year or a preceding taxation year (other than an amount received before that time under the plan or an amount under the plan that the person is entitled at that time to receive) because of an allocation (other than an allocation to which subsection 144(4) applies) to the person made contingently under the plan before that time; B is the portion, if any, of the value of A that is included in the value of A because of paragraph 82(1)(b); C is the total of all taxable dividends deemed to be received by the person because of allocations under subsection 144(8) in respect of the plan; and D is the total of all amounts deductible under this subsection in computing the person’s income for a preceding taxation year because the person ceased to be a beneficiary under the plan in a preceding taxation year.
Where the terms of an arrangement under which an employer makes payments to a trustee specifically provide that the payments shall be made “out of profits”, the arrangement shall, if the employer so elects in prescribed manner, be deemed, for the purpose of subsection 144(1), to be an arrangement under which payments computed by reference to the employer’s profits are required.
Where an employees profit sharing plan is accepted for registration by the Minister as a deferred profit sharing plan, the taxation year of the trust governed by the employees profit sharing plan shall be deemed to have ended immediately before the plan is deemed to have become registered as a deferred profit sharing plan pursuant to subsection 147(5).

A trust that is established for employees of one or more employers (each referred to in this subsection as a “participating employer”) is an employee life and health trust for a taxation year if, throughout the taxation year, under the terms that govern the trust,
the only purpose of the trust is to provide designated employee benefits to, or for the benefit of, persons described in subparagraphs (d)(i) or (ii); and
on wind-up or reorganization, the property of the trust may only be distributed to
each remaining beneficiary of the trust who is described in subparagraph (d)(i) or (ii) (other than a key employee or an individual who is related to a key employee) on a pro rata basis,

after the death of the last beneficiary described in subparagraph (d)(i) or (ii), Her Majesty in right of Canada or a province;
the trust is required to be resident in Canada, determined without reference to section 94;
the trust may not have any beneficiaries other than persons each of whom is

designated employee benefits,
to enforce covenants, warranties or similar provisions regarding
the maintenance of the trust as an employee life and health trust, or
the operation of the trust in a manner that prevents subsection (3) from applying to prohibit the deduction of an amount by the trust under subsection 104(6), or
prescribed payments;
the trust may not make a loan to, or an investment in, a participating employer or a person or partnership with whom the participating employer does not deal at arm’s length;
representatives of one or more participating employers do not constitute the majority of the trustees of the trust or otherwise control the trust.
No amount may be deducted in a taxation year by an employee life and health trust pursuant to subsection 104(6) if in the taxation year the trust
is not operated in accordance with the terms required by subsection (2) to govern the trust, or
is operated or maintained primarily for the benefit of one or more key employees or their family members described in subparagraph (2)(d)(ii).
In computing the income of an employer,
the employer may deduct for a taxation year the portion of its contributions to an employee life and health trust made in the year that may reasonably be regarded as having been contributed to enable the trust to
pay premiums to an insurance corporation that is licensed to provide insurance under the laws of Canada or a province for insurance coverage for the year or a prior year in respect of designated employee benefits for beneficiaries described in subparagraph (2)(d)(i) or (ii), or
otherwise provide
group term life insurance as described in clause 18(9)(a)(iii)(B), or
any designated employee benefits payable in the year or a prior year to, or for the benefit of, beneficiaries described in subparagraph (2)(d)(i) or (ii); and
the portion of any contribution made to an employee life and health trust that exceeds the amount deductible under paragraph (a) and that may reasonably be regarded as enabling the trust to provide or pay benefits described in subparagraphs (a)(i) or (ii) in a subsequent taxation year is deductible for that year.
For the purposes of subsection (4), if, in respect of an employer’s obligations to fund an employee life and health trust, a report has been prepared by an independent actuary, using accepted actuarial principles and practices, before the time of a contribution by the employer, the portion of the contribution that the report specifies to be the amount that the employee life and health trust is reasonably expected to pay or incur in a taxation year in order to provide designated employee benefits to beneficiaries described in subparagraph (2)(d)(i) or (ii) for a taxation year is, in the absence of evidence to the contrary, presumed to have been contributed to enable the trust to provide those benefits for the year.
Notwithstanding subsection (4) and paragraph 18(9)(a), an employer may deduct in computing its income for a taxation year the amount that it is required to contribute for the year to an employee life and health trust if the following conditions are met at the time that the contribution is made:
it is reasonable to expect that
at no time in the year will more than 95% of the employees who are beneficiaries of the trust be employed by a single employer or by a related group of employers, and
at least 15 employers will contribute to the trust in respect of the year or at least 10% of the employees who are beneficiaries of the trust will be employed in the year by more than one participating employer and, for the purpose of this condition, all employers who are related to each other are deemed to be a single employer;
employers contribute to the trust under a collective bargaining agreement and in accordance with a negotiated contribution formula that does not provide for any variation in contributions determined by reference to the financial experience of the trust; and
contributions that are to be made by each employer are determined, in whole or in part, by reference to the number of hours worked by individual employees of the employer or some other measure that is specific to each employee with respect to whom contributions are made to the trust.
The amount deducted in a taxation year by an employer in computing its income in respect of contributions made to an employee life and health trust shall not exceed the amount determined by the formula A – B where A is the total of all amounts contributed by the employer to the trust in the year or in a preceding taxation year; and B is the total of all amounts deducted by the employer in a preceding taxation year in respect of amounts contributed by the employer to the trust.
If an employer issues a promissory note or provides other evidence of its indebtedness to an employee life and health trust in respect of its obligation to the trust,
the issuance of the note or the provision of the evidence of indebtedness to the trust is not a contribution to the trust; and
a payment by the employer to the trust in full or partial satisfaction of its liability under the note or the evidence of indebtedness, whether stated to be of principal or interest or any other amount, is deemed to be an employer contribution to the trust that is subject to this section and not a payment of principal or interest on the note or indebtedness.
For the purposes of determining whether an amount is deductible by an employer under subsection (4), if a trust was an employee life and health trust at the time that a promissory note or other evidence of indebtedness referred to in subsection (8) was issued or provided, the trust is deemed to be an employee life and health trust at each time that an employer contribution is deemed to have been made under paragraph (8)(b) in respect of the note or other indebtedness.
For the purposes of paragraph 6(1)(f), subsection 6(4) and paragraph 118.2(2)(q), employee contributions to an employee life and health trust, to the extent that they are, and are identified by the trust at the time of contribution as, contributions in respect of a particular designated employee benefit, are deemed to be payments by the employee in respect of the particular designated employee benefit.
If a trust that is, or was, at any time, an employee life and health trust pays an amount as a distribution from the trust to any person in a taxation year, the amount of the distribution shall be included in computing the person’s income for the year, except to the extent that the amount is
a payment of a designated employee benefit that is not included in the person’s income because of section 6; or
a distribution to another employee life and health trust that is a beneficiary of the employee life and health trust.
Where contributions have been received by an employee life and health trust from more than one employer, the trust is deemed to be a separate trust established in respect of the property held for the benefit of beneficiaries described in subparagraph (2)(d)(i) or (ii) in respect of a particular employer, if
the trustee designates the property to be held in a separate trust for the benefit of those beneficiaries in an election made on or before the filing-due date of the first taxation year of the separate trust described in this subsection; and
under the terms of the trust, contributions from the employer and the income derived from those contributions accrues solely for the benefit of those beneficiaries.
No non-capital loss is deductible by an employee life and health trust in computing its taxable income for a taxation year, except as provided by subsections 111(7.3) to (7.5).

registered supplementary unemployment benefit plan means a supplementary unemployment benefit plan accepted by the Minister for registration for the purposes of this Act in respect of its constitution and operations for the taxation year under consideration; (régime enregistré de prestations supplémentaires de chômage)
supplementary unemployment benefit plan means an arrangement, other than an arrangement in the nature of a superannuation or pension fund or plan or an employees profit sharing plan, under which payments are made by an employer to a trustee in trust exclusively for the payment of periodic amounts to employees or former employees of the employer who are or may be laid off for any temporary or indefinite period. (régime de prestations supplémentaires de chômage)
No tax is payable under this Part by a trust on the taxable income of the trust for a period during which the trust was governed by a registered supplementary unemployment benefit plan.
There shall be included in computing the income of a taxpayer for a taxation year each amount received by the taxpayer under a supplementary unemployment benefit plan from the trustee under the plan at any time in the year.
There shall be included in computing the income for a taxation year of a taxpayer who, as an employer, has made any payment to a trustee under a supplementary unemployment benefit plan, any amount received by the taxpayer in the year as a result of an amendment to or modification of the plan or as a result of the termination or winding-up of the plan.
An amount paid by an employer to a trustee under a registered supplementary unemployment benefit plan during a taxation year or within 30 days thereafter may be deducted in computing the employer’s income for the taxation year to the extent that it was not deductible in computing income for a previous taxation year.

that would be considered to be withdrawn by the taxpayer as an eligible amount (as defined in subsection 146.01(1) or 146.02(1)) less than 90 days after it was paid, if earnings in respect of a registered retirement savings plan were considered to be withdrawn before premiums paid under that plan and premiums were considered to be withdrawn in the order in which they were paid
the amount, if any, by which exceeds
the total of all amounts deducted under subsection 147.3(13.1) in computing the taxpayer’s income for the year or a preceding taxation year
the total of all amounts, in respect of transfers occurring before 1991 from registered pension plans, deemed by paragraph 147.3(10)(b) or 147.3(10)(c) to be a premium paid by the taxpayer to a registered retirement savings plan, and
the amount, if any, by which the taxpayer’s RRSP deduction limit for the year exceeds the total of all contributions made by an employer in the year to a pooled registered pension plan in respect of the taxpayer.
There may be deducted in computing a taxpayer’s income for a taxation year such amount as the taxpayer claims not exceeding the lesser of
the total of all amounts each of which is a premium paid by the taxpayer after 1990 and on or before the day that is 60 days after the end of the year under a registered retirement savings plan under which the taxpayer’s spouse or common-law partner (or, where the taxpayer died in the year or within 60 days after the end of the year, an individual who was the taxpayer’s spouse or common-law partner immediately before the death) was the annuitant at the time the premium was paid, other than the portion, if any, of the premium
that was deducted in computing the taxpayer’s income for a preceding taxation year,
that was designated for any taxation year for the purposes of paragraph 60(j.2),
in respect of which the taxpayer or the taxpayer’s spouse or common-law partner has received a payment that has been deducted under subsection 146(8.2) in computing the taxpayer’s income for a preceding taxation year, or
that would be considered to be withdrawn by the taxpayer’s spouse or common-law partner as an eligible amount (as defined in subsection 146.01(1) or 146.02(1)) less than 90 days after it was paid, if earnings in respect of a registered retirement savings plan were considered to be withdrawn before premiums paid under that plan and premiums were considered to be withdrawn in the order in which they were paid, and

the amount deducted under subsection (5) in computing the taxpayer’s income for the year, or
a contribution made by an employer in the year to a pooled registered pension plan in respect of the taxpayer.
If a taxpayer’s entitlement to benefits under a defined benefit provision of a registered pension plan is transferred in accordance with subsection 147.3(4) after February 2009 and before 2011, there may be deducted in computing the taxpayer’s income for a taxation year that ends on or after the day on which the transfer was made, the amount claimed by the taxpayer in respect of premiums paid by the taxpayer in the year to a registered retirement savings plan under which the taxpayer is the annuitant, not exceeding the amount, if any, determined by the formula A – B – C where A is the amount, if any, that is the lesser of the prescribed amount that would have been determined for the purpose of paragraph 147.3(4)(c) if subsection 8517(3.01) of the Regulations had applied in respect of the transfer, and the amount of the taxpayer’s entitlement to benefits under the provision commuted in connection with the transfer; B is the prescribed amount for the purpose of paragraph 147.3(4)(c) that applied in respect of the transfer; and C is the total of all amounts deducted by the taxpayer under this subsection for a preceding taxation year.
For the purpose of subsection (5.2), a premium paid by a taxpayer before 2013 is deemed to have been paid in the taxation year in which the transfer referred to in that subsection was made and not in the year in which it was actually paid, if the taxpayer so elects in prescribed form.
Notwithstanding any other provision of this section, where
a registered pension plan is amended or administered in such a manner as to terminate, suspend or delay

contributions under the plan by or for the benefit of the individual in respect of the year, or
the accrual of retirement benefits under the plan for the individual in respect of the year, or
a deferred profit sharing plan is amended or administered in such a manner as to terminate, suspend or delay contributions under the plan for the year in respect of an individual,
[Repealed, 2011, c. 24, s. 45]
There may be deducted in computing a taxpayer’s income for a particular taxation year the total of all amounts each of which is such portion of a prescribed premium for the particular year as was not designated for any taxation year for the purposes of paragraph 60(j), 60(j.1) or 60(l).
Where in a taxation year a loan, for which a trust governed by a registered retirement savings plan has used or permitted to be used trust property as security, ceases to be extant, and the fair market value of the property so used was included by virtue of subsection 146(10) in computing the income of the taxpayer who is the annuitant under the plan, there may be deducted, in computing the income of the taxpayer for the taxation year, an amount equal to the amount, if any, remaining when
the net loss (exclusive of payments by the trust as or on account of interest) sustained by the trust in consequence of its using the property, or permitting it to be used, as security for the loan and not as a result of a change in the fair market value of the property
the amount so included in computing the income of the taxpayer in consequence of the trust’s using the property, or permitting it to be used, as security for the loan.
There shall be included in computing a taxpayer’s income for a taxation year the total of all amounts received by the taxpayer in the year as benefits out of or under registered retirement savings plans, other than excluded withdrawals (as defined in subsection 146.01(1) or 146.02(1)) of the taxpayer and amounts that are included under paragraph (12)(b) in computing the taxpayer’s income.
If a designated withdrawal (as defined in subsection 146.01(1)) or an amount referred to in paragraph (a) of the definition eligible amount in subsection 146.02(1) is received by a taxpayer in a taxation year and, at any time after that year, it is determined that the amount is not an excluded withdrawal (as defined in subsection 146.01(1) or 146.02(1)), notwithstanding subsections 152(4) to (5), such assessments of tax, interest and penalties shall be made as are necessary to give effect to the determination.
If a payment out of or under a registered retirement savings plan of a deceased annuitant to the annuitant’s legal representative would have been a refund of premiums if it had been paid under the plan to an individual who is a beneficiary (as defined in subsection 108(1)) under the deceased’s estate, the payment is, to the extent it is so designated jointly by the legal representative and the individual in prescribed form filed with the Minister, deemed to be received by the individual (and not by the legal representative) at the time it was so paid as a benefit that is a refund of premiums.
Where
all or any portion of the premiums paid in a taxation year by a taxpayer to one or more registered retirement savings plans under which the taxpayer or the taxpayer’s spouse or common-law partner was the annuitant was not deducted in computing the taxpayer’s income for any taxation year,
the taxpayer or the taxpayer’s spouse or common-law partner can reasonably be regarded as having received a payment from a registered retirement savings plan or a registered retirement income fund in respect of such portion of the undeducted premiums as
was not paid by way of a transfer of an amount from a registered pension plan to a registered retirement savings plan,
was not paid by way of a transfer of an amount from a deferred profit sharing plan to a registered retirement savings plan in accordance with subsection 147(19), and
was not paid by way of a transfer of an amount to a registered retirement savings plan from
a pooled registered pension plan in circumstances to which subsection 147.5(21) applied, or
a specified pension plan in circumstances to which subsection (21) applied,
the payment is received by the taxpayer or the taxpayer’s spouse or common-law partner in a particular taxation year that is
the year in which the premiums were paid by the taxpayer,
the year in which a notice of assessment for the taxation year referred to in subparagraph 146(8.2)(c)(i) was sent to the taxpayer, or
the year immediately following the year referred to in subparagraph 146(8.2)(c)(i) or 146(8.2)(c)(ii), and
the payment is included in computing the taxpayer’s income for the particular year,
the taxpayer did not reasonably expect that the full amount of the premiums would be deductible in the taxation year in which the premiums were paid or in the immediately preceding taxation year, and
the taxpayer paid all or any portion of the premiums with the intent of receiving a payment that, but for this paragraph and paragraph 146(8.2)(e), would be deductible under this subsection.
Where a taxpayer or the taxpayer’s spouse or common-law partner has, at any time in a taxation year, received a payment from a registered retirement savings plan or a registered retirement income fund in respect of all or any portion of a premium paid by the taxpayer to a registered retirement savings plan and the payment has been deducted under subsection 146(8.2) in computing the taxpayer’s income for the year, the premium or portion thereof, as the case may be, shall,
for the purposes of determining, after that time, the amount that may be deducted under subsection 146(5) or 146(5.1) in computing the taxpayer’s income for the year or a preceding taxation year, and
for the purposes of subsections 146(8.3) and 146.3(5.1) after that time, in the case of a payment received by the taxpayer,
Where at any time in a taxation year a particular amount in respect of a registered retirement savings plan that is a spousal or common-law partner plan in relation to a taxpayer is required by reason of subsection (8) or paragraph (12)(b) to be included in computing the income of the taxpayer’s spouse or common-law partner before the plan matures or as a payment in full or partial commutation of a retirement income under the plan and the taxpayer is not living separate and apart from the taxpayer’s spouse or common-law partner at that time by reason of the breakdown of their marriage or common-law partnership, there shall be included at that time in computing the taxpayer’s income for the year an amount equal to the lesser of
the total of all amounts each of which is a premium paid by the taxpayer in the year or in one of the two immediately preceding taxation years to a registered retirement savings plan under which the taxpayer’s spouse or common-law partner was the annuitant at the time the premium was paid, and
the particular amount.
Where a taxpayer has paid more than one premium described in subsection 146(8.3), such a premium or part thereof paid by the taxpayer at any time shall be deemed to have been included in computing the taxpayer’s income by virtue of that subsection before premiums or parts thereof paid by the taxpayer after that time.
Where, in respect of an amount required at any time in a taxation year to be included in computing the income of a taxpayer’s spouse or common-law partner, all or part of a premium has by reason of subsection 146(8.3) been included in computing the taxpayer’s income for the year, the following rules apply:
the premium or part thereof, as the case may be, shall, for the purposes of subsections 146(8.3) and 146.3(5.1) after that time, be deemed not to have been a premium paid to a registered retirement savings plan under which the taxpayer’s spouse or common-law partner was the annuitant; and
an amount equal to the premium or part thereof, as the case may be, may be deducted in computing the income of the spouse or common-law partner for the year.
Subsection 146(8.3) does not apply
in respect of a taxpayer at any time during the year in which the taxpayer died;
in respect of a taxpayer where either the taxpayer or the taxpayer’s spouse or common-law partner is a non-resident at the particular time referred to in that subsection;
in respect of amounts paid out of or under a plan referred to in subsection 146(12) as an “amended plan” to which paragraph 146(12)(a) applied before May 26, 1976;
to any payment that is received in full or partial commutation of a registered retirement income fund or a registered retirement savings plan and in respect of which a deduction was made under paragraph 60(l) if, where the deduction was in respect of the acquisition of an annuity, the terms of the annuity provide that it cannot be commuted, and it is not commuted, in whole or in part within 3 years after the acquisition; or
in respect of an amount that is deemed by subsection 146(8.8) to have been received by an annuitant under a registered retirement savings plan immediately before the annuitant’s death.
Where the annuitant under a registered retirement savings plan (other than a plan that had matured before June 30, 1978) dies after June 29, 1978, the annuitant shall be deemed to have received, immediately before the annuitant’s death, an amount as a benefit out of or under a registered retirement savings plan equal to the amount, if any, by which
the fair market value of all the property of the plan at the time of death
where the annuitant died after the maturity of the plan, the fair market value at the time of the death of the portion of the property described in paragraph 146(8.8)(a) that, as a consequence of the death, becomes receivable by a person who was the annuitant’s spouse or common-law partner immediately before the death, or would become so receivable should that person survive throughout all guaranteed terms contained in the plan.
There may be deducted from the amount deemed by subsection 146(8.8) to have been received by an annuitant as a benefit out of or under a registered retirement savings plan an amount not exceeding the amount determined by the formula A × [1 - ((B + C - D) / (B + C))] where A is the total of all refunds of premiums in respect of the plan, all tax-paid amounts in respect of the plan paid to individuals who, otherwise than because of subsection 146(8.1), received refunds of premiums in respect of the plan, and all amounts each of which is a tax-paid amount in respect of the plan paid to the legal representative of the annuitant under the plan, to the extent that the legal representative would have been entitled to designate that tax-paid amount under subsection 146(8.1) if tax-paid amounts were not excluded in determining refunds of premiums; B is the fair market value of the property of the plan at the particular time that is the later of the end of the first calendar year that begins after the death of the annuitant, and the time immediately after the last time that any refund of premiums in respect of the plan is paid out of or under the plan; C is the total of all amounts paid out of or under the plan after the death of the annuitant and before the particular time; and D is the lesser of the fair market value of the property of the plan at the time of the annuitant’s death, and the sum of the values of B and C in respect of the plan.
Where, as a consequence of the death of an annuitant after the maturity of the annuitant’s registered retirement savings plan, the annuitant’s legal representative has become entitled to receive amounts out of or under the plan for the benefit of the spouse or common-law partner of the deceased and the legal representative and the spouse or common-law partner file with the Minister a joint election in prescribed form,
the spouse or common-law partner shall be deemed to have become the annuitant under the plan as a consequence of the annuitant’s death; and
those amounts shall be deemed to be receivable by the spouse or common-law partner and, when paid, to be received by the spouse or common-law partner as a benefit under the plan, and not to be received by any other person.
If the annuitant under a registered retirement savings plan dies before the maturity of the plan, there may be deducted in computing the annuitant’s income for the taxation year in which the annuitant dies an amount not exceeding the amount determined, after all amounts payable out of or under the plan have been paid, by the formula A – B where A is the total of all amounts each of which is the amount deemed by subsection (8.8) to have been received by the annuitant as a benefit out of or under the plan, an amount (other than an amount described in paragraph (c)) received, after the death of the annuitant, by a taxpayer as a benefit out of or under the plan and included, because of subsection (8), in computing the taxpayer’s income, or a tax-paid amount in respect of the plan; and B is the total of all amounts paid out of or under the plan after the death of the annuitant.
Except where the Minister has waived in writing the application of this subsection with respect to all or any portion of the amount determined in subsection (8.92) in respect of a registered retirement savings plan, that subsection does not apply if
at any time after the death of the annuitant, a trust governed by the plan held a non-qualified investment; or
the last payment out of or under the plan was made after the end of the year following the year in which the annuitant died.
Where in a taxation year a trust governed by a registered retirement savings plan
disposes of property for a consideration less than the fair market value of the property at the time of the disposition, or for no consideration, or
acquires property for a consideration greater than the fair market value of the property at the time of the acquisition,
If at any time in a taxation year a trust governed by a registered retirement savings plan uses or permits to be used any property of the trust as security for a loan, the fair market value of the property at the time it commenced to be so used shall be included in computing the income for the year of the taxpayer who is the annuitant under the plan at that time.
Where in a taxation year a trust governed by a registered retirement savings plan holds a property that is a non-qualified investment,
tax is payable under this Part by the trust on the amount that its taxable income for the year would be if it had no incomes or losses from sources other than non-qualified investments and no capital gains or losses other than from dispositions of non-qualified investments; and
for the purposes of paragraph 146(10.1)(a),
income includes dividends described in section 83, and
paragraphs 38(a) and (b) are to be read as if the fraction set out in each of those paragraphs were replaced by the word “all”.
[Repealed, 2011, c. 24, s. 45]
Where, on any day after a retirement savings plan has been accepted by the Minister for registration for the purposes of this Act, the plan is revised or amended or a new plan is substituted for it, and the plan as revised or amended or the new plan, as the case may be (in this subsection referred to as the “amended plan”), does not comply with the requirements of this section for its acceptance by the Minister for registration for the purposes of this Act, subject to subsection 146(13.1), the following rules apply:
the amended plan shall be deemed, for the purposes of this Act, not to be a registered retirement savings plan; and
the taxpayer who was the annuitant under the plan before it became an amended plan shall, in computing the taxpayer’s income for the taxation year that includes that day, include as income received at that time an amount equal to the fair market value of all the property of the plan immediately before that time.
For the purposes of subsection 146(12), an arrangement under which a right or obligation under a retirement savings plan is released or extinguished either wholly or in part and either in exchange or substitution for any right or obligation, or otherwise (other than an arrangement the sole object and legal effect of which is to revise or amend the plan) or under which payment of any amount by way of loan or otherwise is made on the security of a right under a retirement savings plan, shall be deemed to be a new plan substituted for that retirement savings plan.

[Repealed, 2007, c. 29, s. 17]
Where any amount has been paid in a taxation year as a premium under a retirement savings plan that was, at the end of that taxation year, a registered retirement savings plan, the amount so paid shall be deemed, for the purposes of this Act, to have been paid in that year as a premium under a registered retirement savings plan.
Notwithstanding anything in this section, where an amount is received in a taxation year as a benefit under a registered retirement savings plan that was not, at the end of the year in which the plan was entered into, a registered retirement savings plan, such part, if any, of the amount so received as may be prescribed shall be deemed, for the purposes of this Act, to have been received in the taxation year otherwise than as a benefit or other payment under a registered retirement savings plan.
Notwithstanding any other provision in this section, a registered retirement savings plan may at any time be revised or amended to provide for the payment or transfer before the maturity of the plan, on behalf of the annuitant under the plan (in this subsection referred to as the “transferor”), of any property thereunder by the issuer thereof
to a registered pension plan for the benefit of the transferor or to a registered retirement savings plan or registered retirement income fund under which the transferor is the annuitant, or

no deduction may be made under subsection 146(5), 146(5.1) or 146(8.2) or section 8 or 60 in respect of the payment or transfer in computing the income of any taxpayer, and
where the payment or transfer was made to a registered retirement savings plan, for the purposes of subsection 146(8.2), the amount of the payment or transfer shall be deemed not to be a premium paid to that plan by the taxpayer.
Where
an amount is credited or added to a deposit with a depositary referred to in subparagraph (b)(iii) of the definition retirement savings plan in subsection 146(1) as interest or income in respect of the deposit,

to acquire from a licensed annuities provider an annuity that would be described in subparagraph 60(l)(ii) if the individual, or a spouse or common-law partner or former spouse or common-law partner of the individual, were the taxpayer referred to in that subparagraph and if that subparagraph were read without reference to clause 60(l)(ii)(B), or

subsection (6) does not apply to the individual;
the spouse or common-law partner is deemed to have received a particular eligible amount at the particular time equal to the amount that, but for this subsection, would be determined under subsection (6) in respect of the individual;
subject to paragraph (d), for the purpose of applying this section after the particular time, the spouse or common-law partner is deemed to be the person designated under paragraph (b) of the definition eligible amount in subsection (1) in respect of the particular amount; and

An educational assistance payment that is made at any time in accordance with subsection (2.21) but not in accordance with paragraph (2)(g.1) is deemed, for the purposes of applying that paragraph at and after that time, to have been made immediately before the particular time referred to in subsection (2.21).
Notwithstanding paragraph (2)(g.3), an education savings plan may provide that an individual’s Social Insurance Number need not be provided in respect of
a contribution to the plan, if the plan was entered into before 1999; and
a designation of a non-resident individual as a beneficiary under the plan, if the individual was not assigned a Social Insurance Number before the designation is made.
Where in any year an education savings plan cannot be accepted for registration solely because the condition set out in paragraph 146.1(2)(b) has not been complied with, if the plan is subsequently registered, it shall be deemed to have been registered on the first day of January of
the year in which all of the conditions set out in subsection 146.1(2) (except in paragraph 146.1(2)(b)) were complied with, or
the year preceding the year in which the plan was subsequently registered,
Notwithstanding paragraph 146.1(2)(e), where a promoter has not filed a prospectus in respect of an education savings plan referred to in that paragraph, the Minister may register the plan if the promoter is not otherwise required by the laws of Canada or a province to file such a prospectus with a securities commission in Canada or a body performing a similar function in a province and the plan complies with the other conditions set out in subsection 146.1(2).
When a registered education savings plan is amended, the promoter shall file the text of the amendment with the Minister not later than 60 days after the day on which the plan is amended.

the day on which the transferee plan was entered into, and
the day on which the transferor plan was entered into; and

Subject to subsection 146.1(3), an education savings plan that is registered
before 1976 shall be deemed to have been registered since the later of
January 1, 1972, and

The Governor in Council may make regulations requiring promoters of education savings plans to file information returns in respect of the plans.
The following definitions apply in this section and in Part XI.01.
distribution under an arrangement of which an individual is the holder means a payment out of or under the arrangement in satisfaction of all or part of the holder’s interest in the arrangement. (distribution)
holder of an arrangement means
until the death of the individual who entered into the arrangement with the issuer, the individual;
at and after the death of the individual, the individual’s survivor, if the survivor acquires
all of the individual’s rights as the holder of the arrangement, and
to the extent it is not included in the rights described in subparagraph (i), the unconditional right to revoke any beneficiary designation made, or similar direction imposed, by the individual under the arrangement or relating to property held in connection with the arrangement; and
at and after the death of a holder described in paragraph (b) or in this paragraph, the holder’s survivor, if the survivor acquires
all of the holder’s rights as the holder of the arrangement, and

issuer of an arrangement means the person described as the issuer in the definition qualifying arrangement. (émetteur)
qualifying arrangement, at a particular time, means an arrangement
that is entered into after 2008 between a person (in this definition referred to as the “issuer”) and an individual (other than a trust) who is at least 18 years of age;
that is
an arrangement in trust with an issuer that is a corporation licensed or otherwise authorized under the laws of Canada or a province to carry on in Canada the business of offering to the public its services as trustee,
an annuity contract with an issuer that is a licensed annuities provider, or
a deposit with an issuer that is
a person who is, or is eligible to become, a member of the Canadian Payments Association, or
a credit union that is a shareholder or member of a body corporate referred to as a “central” for the purposes of the Canadian Payments Act;
that provides for contributions to be made under the arrangement to the issuer in consideration of, or to be used, invested or otherwise applied for the purpose of, the issuer making distributions under the arrangement to the holder;
under which the issuer and the individual agree, at the time the arrangement is entered into, that the issuer will file with the Minister an election to register the arrangement as a TFSA; and
that, at all times throughout the period that begins at the time the arrangement is entered into and that ends at the particular time, complies with the conditions in subsection (2). (arrangement admissible)
survivor of an individual means another individual who is, immediately before the individual’s death, a spouse or common-law partner of the individual. (survivant)
The conditions referred to in paragraph (e) of the definition qualifying arrangement in subsection (1) are as follows:
the arrangement requires that it be maintained for the exclusive benefit of the holder (determined without regard to any right of a person to receive a payment out of or under the arrangement only on or after the death of the holder);
the arrangement prohibits, while there is a holder of the arrangement, anyone that is neither the holder nor the issuer of the arrangement from having rights under the arrangement relating to the amount and timing of distributions and the investing of funds;
the arrangement prohibits anyone other than the holder from making contributions under the arrangement;
the arrangement permits distributions to be made to reduce the amount of tax otherwise payable by the holder under section 207.02 or 207.03;
the arrangement provides that, at the direction of the holder, the issuer shall transfer all or any part of the property held in connection with the arrangement (or an amount equal to its value) to another TFSA of the holder;
if the arrangement is an arrangement in trust, it prohibits the trust from borrowing money or other property for the purposes of the arrangement; and
the arrangement complies with prescribed conditions.
The conditions in paragraphs (2)(a), (b) and (e) do not apply to the extent that they are inconsistent with subsection (4).
A holder of a TFSA may use the holder’s interest or, for civil law, right in the TFSA as security for a loan or other indebtedness if
the terms and conditions of the indebtedness are terms and conditions that persons dealing at arm’s length with each other would have entered into; and
it can reasonably be concluded that none of the main purposes for that use is to enable a person (other than the holder) or a partnership to benefit from the exemption from tax under this Part of any amount in respect of the TFSA.
If the issuer of an arrangement that is, at the time it is entered into, a qualifying arrangement files with the Minister, before March of the calendar year following the calendar year in which the arrangement was entered into, an election in prescribed form and manner to register the arrangement as a TFSA under the Social Insurance Number of the individual with whom the arrangement was entered into, the arrangement becomes a TFSA at the time the arrangement was entered into and ceases to be a TFSA at the earliest of the following times:
the time at which the last holder of the arrangement dies;
the time at which the arrangement ceases to be a qualifying arrangement; or
the earliest time at which the arrangement is not administered in accordance with the conditions in subsection (2).
No tax is payable under this Part by a trust that is governed by a TFSA on its taxable income for a taxation year, except that, if at any time in the taxation year, it carries on one or more businesses or holds one or more properties that are non-qualified investments (as defined in subsection 207.01(1)) for the trust, tax is payable under this Part by the trust on the amount that would be its taxable income for the taxation year if it had no incomes or losses from sources other than those businesses and properties, and no capital gains or capital losses other than from dispositions of those properties, and for that purpose,
“income” includes dividends described in section 83;
the trust’s taxable capital gain or allowable capital loss from the disposition of a property is equal to its capital gain or capital loss, as the case may be, from the disposition; and
the trust’s income shall be computed without reference to subsection 104(6).
An amount that is credited or added to a deposit that is a TFSA as interest or other income in respect of the TFSA is deemed not to be received by the holder of the TFSA solely because of that crediting or adding.
If an arrangement that governs a trust ceases, at a particular time, to be a TFSA,
the trust is deemed
to have disposed, immediately before the particular time, of each property held by the trust for proceeds equal to the property’s fair market value immediately before the particular time, and
to have acquired, at the particular time, each such property at a cost equal to that fair market value;
the trust’s last taxation year that began before the particular time is deemed to have ended immediately before the particular time; and
a taxation year of the trust is deemed to begin at the particular time.
If an arrangement that governs a trust ceases to be a TFSA because of the death of the holder of the TFSA,
the arrangement is deemed, for the purposes of subsections (6) and (8), any regulations made under subsection (13), the definition trust in subsection 108(1), paragraph 149(1)(u.2) and the definitions qualified investment and non-qualified investment in subsection 207.01(1), to continue to be a TFSA until, and to cease to be a TFSA immediately after, the exemption-end time, being in this subsection the earlier of
the time at which the trust ceases to exist, and
the end of the first calendar year that begins after the holder dies;
there shall be included in computing a taxpayer’s income for a taxation year the total of all amounts each of which is an amount determined by the formula A – B where A is the amount of a payment made out of or under the trust, in satisfaction of all or part of the taxpayer’s beneficial interest in the trust, in the taxation year, after the holder’s death and at or before the exemption-end time, and B is an amount designated by the trust not exceeding the lesser of the amount of the payment, and the amount by which the fair market value of all of the property held by the trust immediately before the holder’s death exceeds the total of all amounts each of which is the value of B in respect of any other payment made out of or under the trust; and
there shall be included in computing the trust’s income for its first taxation year, if any, that begins after the exemption-end time the amount determined by the formula A – B where A is the fair market value of all of the property held by the trust at the exemption-end time, and B is the amount by which the fair market value of all of the property held by the trust immediately before the holder’s death exceeds the total of all amounts each of which is the value of B in paragraph (b) in respect of a payment made out of or under the trust.
If an annuity contract ceases, at a particular time, to be a TFSA,
the holder of the TFSA is deemed to have disposed of the contract immediately before the particular time for proceeds equal to its fair market value immediately before the particular time;
the contract is deemed to be a separate annuity contract issued and effected at the particular time otherwise than pursuant to or as a TFSA; and
each person who has an interest or, for civil law, a right in the separate annuity contract at the particular time is deemed to acquire the interest at the particular time at a cost equal to its fair market value at the particular time.
If a deposit ceases, at a particular time, to be a TFSA,
the holder of the TFSA is deemed to have disposed of the deposit immediately before the particular time for proceeds equal to its fair market value immediately before the particular time; and
each person who has an interest or, for civil law, a right in the deposit at the particular time is deemed to acquire the interest at the particular time at a cost equal to its fair market value at the particular time.
An arrangement that is a qualifying arrangement at the time it is entered into is deemed not to be a retirement savings plan, an education savings plan, a retirement income fund or a disability savings plan.
The Governor in Council may make regulations requiring issuers of TFSAs to file information returns in respect of TFSAs.

property held in connection with a retirement income fund means property held by the carrier of the fund, whether held by the carrier as trustee or beneficial owner thereof, the value of which, or the income or loss from which, is relevant in determining the amount for a year payable to the annuitant under the fund;

[Repealed, 2007, c. 29, s. 19]
a contract for an annuity issued by a licensed annuities provider where
the trust is the only person who, disregarding any subsequent transfer of the contract by the trust, is or may become entitled to any annuity payments under the contract, and

annual or more frequent periodic payments are or may be made under the contract to the holder of the contract,
the trust is the only person who, disregarding any subsequent transfer of the contract by the trust, is or may become entitled to any annuity payments under the contract,
neither the time nor the amount of any payment under the contract may vary because of the length of any life, other than
if the annuitant under the fund (in this paragraph referred to as the “RRIF annuitant”) has made the election referred to in the definition retirement income fund in respect of the fund and a spouse or common-law partner, the life of the RRIF annuitant or the life of the spouse or common-law partner, and
in any other case, the life of the RRIF annuitant,
the day on which the periodic payments began or are to begin (in this paragraph referred to as the “start date”) is not later than the end of the year following the year in which the contract was acquired by the trust,
either
the periodic payments are payable for the life of the RRIF annuitant or the joint lives of the RRIF annuitant and the RRIF annuitant’s spouse or common-law partner and either there is no guaranteed period under the contract or there is a guaranteed period that begins at the start date and does not exceed a term equal to 90 years minus the lesser of

the periodic payments are payable for a term equal to
90 years minus the age described in subclause (I), or
90 years minus the age described in subclause (II), and

The minimum amount under a retirement income fund for 2008 is 75 per cent of the amount that would, in the absence of this subsection, be the minimum amount under the fund for the year.
Subsection (1.1) does not apply to a retirement income fund

if the individual who was the annuitant under the fund on January 1, 2008 attained 70 years of age in 2007.
The Minister shall not accept for registration for the purposes of this Act any retirement income fund of an individual unless, in the Minister’s opinion, the following conditions are complied with:

where the fund does not govern a trust or the fund governs a trust created before 1998 that does not hold an annuity contract as a qualified investment for the trust, the fund provides that if an annuitant, at any time, directs that the carrier transfer all or part of the property held in connection with the fund, or an amount equal to its value at that time, to a person who has agreed to be a carrier of another registered retirement income fund of the annuitant or to a registered pension plan in accordance with subsection (14.1), the transferor shall retain an amount equal to the lesser of
the fair market value of such portion of the property as would, if the fair market value thereof does not decline after the transfer, be sufficient to ensure that the minimum amount under the fund for the year in which the transfer is made may be paid to the annuitant in the year, and
the fair market value of all the property;
where paragraph (e.1) does not apply, the fund provides that if an annuitant, at any time, directs that the carrier transfer all or part of the property held in connection with the fund, or an amount equal to its value at that time, to a person who has agreed to be a carrier of another registered retirement income fund of the annuitant or to a registered pension plan in accordance with subsection (14.1), the transferor shall retain property in the fund sufficient to ensure that the total of
all amounts each of which is the fair market value, immediately after the transfer, of a property held in connection with the fund that is
property other than an annuity contract, or
an annuity contract described, immediately after the transfer, in paragraph (b.1) of the definition qualified investment in subsection 146.3(1), and
all amounts each of which is a reasonable estimate, as of the time of the transfer, of the amount of an annual or more frequent periodic payment under an annuity contract (other than an annuity contract described in clause 146.3(2)(e.2)(i)(B)) that the trust may receive after the transfer and in the year of the transfer
the fund provides that the carrier shall not accept property as consideration thereunder other than property transferred from
a registered retirement savings plan under which the individual is the annuitant,
another registered retirement income fund under which the individual is the annuitant,
the individual to the extent only that the amount of the consideration was an amount described in subparagraph 60(l)(v),
a registered retirement income fund or registered retirement savings plan of the individual’s spouse or common-law partner or former spouse or common-law partner under a decree, order or judgment of a competent tribunal, or under a written separation agreement, relating to a division of property between the individual and the individual’s spouse or common-law partner or former spouse or common-law partner in settlement of rights arising out of, or on the breakdown of, their marriage or common-law partnership,

the fund in all other respects complies with regulations of the Governor in Council made on the recommendation of the Minister of Finance.
Except as provided in subsection 146.3(9), no tax is payable under this Part by a trust on the taxable income of the trust for a taxation year if, throughout the period in the year during which the trust was in existence, the trust was governed by a registered retirement income fund of an individual, except that if the trust has
borrowed money in the year or has borrowed money that it has not repaid before the commencement of the year,
received a gift of property (other than a transfer from a registered retirement savings plan under which the individual is the annuitant (within the meaning of subsection 146(1)) or a transfer from a registered retirement income fund under which the individual is the annuitant)
in the year, or
in a preceding year and has not divested itself of the property or any property substituted therefor before the commencement of the year, or
carried on any business or businesses in the year,
where paragraph 146.3(3)(a) or 146.3(3)(b) applies, on its taxable income for the year, and
where neither paragraph 146.3(3)(a) nor (b) applies and where paragraph 146.3(3)(c) applies, on the amount, if any, by which
the amount that its taxable income for the year would be if it had no incomes or losses from sources other than from the business or businesses, as the case may be,
such portion of the amount determined under subparagraph 146.3(3)(e)(i) in respect of the trust for the year as can reasonably be considered to be income from, or from the disposition of, qualified investments for the trust.
Notwithstanding subsection 146.3(3), if the last annuitant under a registered retirement income fund has died, tax is payable under this Part by the trust governed by the fund on its taxable income for each year after the year following the year in which the last annuitant under the fund died.
Where at any time in a taxation year a trust governed by a registered retirement income fund
disposes of property for a consideration less than the fair market value of the property at the time of the disposition, or for no consideration, or
acquires property for a consideration greater than the fair market value of the property at the time of the acquisition,
There shall be included in computing the income of a taxpayer for a taxation year all amounts received by the taxpayer in the year out of or under a registered retirement income fund other than the portion thereof that can reasonably be regarded as
part of the amount included in computing the income of another taxpayer by virtue of subsections 146.3(6) and 146.3(6.2);
an amount received in respect of the income of the trust under the fund for a taxation year for which the trust was not exempt from tax by virtue of subsection 146.3(3.1);
an amount that relates to interest, or to another amount included in computing income otherwise than because of this section, and that would, if the fund were a registered retirement savings plan, be a tax-paid amount (within the meaning assigned by paragraph (b) of the definition tax-paid amount in subsection 146(1)); or
an amount in respect of which the annuitant pays a tax under Part XI.01, unless the tax is waived, cancelled or refunded.
If at any time in a taxation year a particular amount in respect of a registered retirement income fund that is a spousal or common-law partner plan (within the meaning assigned by subsection 146(1)) in relation to a taxpayer is required to be included in the income of the taxpayer’s spouse or common-law partner and the taxpayer is not living separate and apart from the taxpayer’s spouse or common-law partner at that time by reason of the breakdown of their marriage or common-law partnership, there shall be included at that time in computing the taxpayer’s income for the year an amount equal to the least of
the total of all amounts each of which is a premium (within the meaning assigned by subsection 146(1)) paid by the taxpayer in the year or in one of the two immediately preceding taxation years to a registered retirement savings plan under which the taxpayer’s spouse or common-law partner was the annuitant (within the meaning assigned by subsection 146(1)) at the time the premium was paid,
the particular amount, and
the amount, if any, by which
the total of all amounts each of which is an amount in respect of the fund that is required, in the year and at or before that time, to be included in the income of the taxpayer’s spouse or common-law partner
the minimum amount under the fund for the year.
Where a taxpayer has paid more than one premium described in subsection 146.3(5.1), such a premium or part thereof paid by the taxpayer at any time shall be deemed to have been included in computing the taxpayer’s income by virtue of that subsection before premiums or parts thereof paid by the taxpayer after that time.
Where, in respect of an amount required at any time in a taxation year to be included in computing the income of a taxpayer’s spouse, all or part of a premium has, by reason of subsection 146.3(5.1), been included in computing the taxpayer’s income for the year, the following rules apply:
the premium or part thereof, as the case may be, shall, for the purposes of subsections 146.3(5.1) and 146(8.3) after that time, be deemed not to have been a premium paid to a registered retirement savings plan under which the taxpayer’s spouse was the annuitant (within the meaning assigned by subsection 146(1)); and
an amount equal to the premium or part thereof, as the case may be, may be deducted in computing the income of the spouse for the year.
Subsection 146.3(5.1) does not apply
in respect of a taxpayer at any time during the year in which the taxpayer dies;
in respect of a taxpayer where either the taxpayer or the annuitant is a non-resident at the particular time referred to in that subsection;
to any payment that is received in full or partial commutation of a registered retirement savings plan or a registered retirement income fund and in respect of which a deduction was made under paragraph 60(l) if, where the deduction was in respect of the acquisition of an annuity, the terms of the annuity provide that it cannot be commuted, and it is not commuted, in whole or in part within 3 years after the acquisition; or
in respect of an amount that is deemed by subsection 146.3(6) to have been received by an annuitant under a registered retirement income fund immediately before the annuitant’s death.
Where the last annuitant under a registered retirement income fund dies, that annuitant shall be deemed to have received, immediately before death, an amount out of or under a registered retirement income fund equal to the fair market value of the property of the fund at the time of the death.
A designated benefit of an individual in respect of a registered retirement income fund that is received by the legal representative of the last annuitant under the fund shall be deemed
to be received by the individual out of or under the fund at the time it is received by the legal representative; and
except for the purpose of the definition designated benefit in subsection 146.3(1), not to be received out of or under the fund by any other person.
For the purpose of subparagraph 60(l)(v), the eligible amount of a particular individual for a taxation year in respect of a registered retirement income fund is nil unless the particular individual was A × [1 - ((B - C) / D)] where A is the portion of the designated benefit of the particular individual in respect of the fund that is included because of subsection 146.3(5) in computing the particular individual’s income for the year, B is the minimum amount under the fund for the year, C is the lesser of the total amounts included because of subsection 146.3(5) in computing the income of an annuitant under the fund for the year in respect of amounts received by the annuitant out of or under the fund, and the minimum amount under the fund for the year, and D is the total of all amounts each of which is the portion of a designated benefit of an individual in respect of the fund that is included because of subsection 146.3(5) in computing the individual’s income for the year.
a spouse or common-law partner of the last annuitant under the fund, or
a child or grandchild of that annuitant who was dependent because of physical or mental infirmity on that annuitant,
There may be deducted from the amount deemed by subsection 146.3(6) to be received by an annuitant out of or under a registered retirement income fund an amount not exceeding the amount determined by the formula A × [1 - ((B + C - D) / (B + C))] where A is the total of all designated benefits of individuals in respect of the fund, all amounts that would, if the fund were a registered retirement savings plan, be tax-paid amounts (in this subsection having the meaning assigned by subsection 146(1)) in respect of the fund received by individuals who received, otherwise than because of subsection 146.3(6.1), designated benefits in respect of the fund, and all amounts each of which is an amount that would, if the fund were a registered retirement savings plan, be a tax-paid amount in respect of the fund received by the legal representative of the last annuitant under the fund, to the extent that the legal representative would have been entitled to designate that tax-paid amount under paragraph (a) of the definition designated benefit in subsection 146.3(1) if tax-paid amounts were not excluded in determining refunds of premiums (as defined in subsection 146(1)); B is the fair market value of the property of the fund at the particular time that is the later of the end of the first calendar year that begins after the death of the annuitant, and the time immediately after the last time that any designated benefit in respect of the fund is received by an individual; C is the total of all amounts paid out of or under the fund after the death of the last annuitant thereunder and before the particular time; and D is the lesser of the fair market value of the property of the fund at the time of the death of the last annuitant thereunder, and the sum of the values of B and C in respect of the fund.
If the last annuitant under a registered retirement income fund dies, there may be deducted in computing the annuitant’s income for the taxation year in which the annuitant dies an amount not exceeding the amount determined, after all amounts payable out of or under the fund have been paid, by the formula A – B where A is the total of all amounts each of which is the amount deemed by subsection (6) to have been received by the annuitant out of or under the fund, an amount (other than an amount described in paragraph (c)) received, after the death of the annuitant, by a taxpayer out of or under the fund and included, because of subsection (5), in computing the taxpayer’s income, or an amount that would, if the fund were a registered retirement savings plan, be a tax-paid amount (within the meaning assigned by subsection 146(1)) in respect of the fund; and B is the total of all amounts paid out of or under the fund after the death of the annuitant.
Except where the Minister has waived in writing the application of this subsection with respect to all or any portion of the amount determined in subsection (6.3) in respect of a registered retirement income fund, that subsection does not apply if
at any time after the death of the annuitant, a trust governed by the fund held an investment that is not a qualified investment; or
the last payment out of or under the fund was made after the end of the year following the year in which the annuitant died.
If at any time in a taxation year a trust governed by a registered retirement income fund uses or permits to be used any property of the trust as security for a loan, the fair market value of the property at the time it commenced to be so used shall be included in computing the income for the year of the taxpayer who is the annuitant under the fund at that time.
[Repealed, 2011, c. 24, s. 49]
If a trust that is governed by a registered retirement income fund holds, at any time in a taxation year, a property that is not a qualified investment,
tax is payable under this Part by the trust on the amount that its taxable income for the year would be if it had no incomes or losses from sources other than the property that is not a qualified investment or no capital gains or capital losses other than from the disposition of that property, as the case may be; and
for the purposes of paragraph 146.3(9)(a),
income includes dividends described in section 83, and
paragraphs 38(a) and (b) are to be read as if the fraction set out in each of those paragraphs were replaced by the word “all”.
Where at any time in a taxation year a loan for which a trust governed by a registered retirement income fund has used or permitted to be used trust property as security ceases to be extant, and the fair market value of the property so used was included by virtue of subsection 146.3(7) in computing the income of a taxpayer who was the annuitant under the fund, there may be deducted in computing the income for a taxation year of the taxpayer who is at that time the annuitant, an amount equal to the amount, if any, remaining when
the net loss (exclusive of payments by the trust as or on account of interest) sustained by the trust in consequence of its using or permitting to be used the property as security for the loan and not as a result of a change in the fair market value of the property
the amount so included in computing the income of a taxpayer in consequence of the trust’s using or permitting to be used the property as security for the loan.
Where, on any day after a retirement income fund has been accepted by the Minister for registration for the purposes of this Act, the fund is revised or amended or a new fund is substituted therefor, and the fund as revised or amended or the new fund substituted therefor, as the case may be, (in this subsection referred to as the “amended fund”) does not comply with the requirements of this section for its acceptance by the Minister for registration for the purposes of this Act, the following rules apply:
the amended fund shall be deemed, for the purposes of this Act, not to be a registered retirement income fund; and
the taxpayer who was the annuitant under the fund before it became an amended fund shall, in computing the taxpayer’s income for the taxation year that includes that day, include as income received out of the fund at that time an amount equal to the fair market value of all the property held in connection with the fund immediately before that time.
For the purposes of subsection 146.3(11), an arrangement under which a right or obligation under a retirement income fund is released or extinguished either wholly or in part and either in exchange or substitution for any right or obligation, or otherwise (other than an arrangement the sole object and legal effect of which is to revise or amend the fund) or under which payment of any amount by way of loan or otherwise is made on the security of a right under a retirement income fund, shall be deemed to be a new fund substituted for the retirement income fund.

An amount is transferred from a registered retirement income fund of an annuitant in accordance with this subsection if the amount
is transferred on behalf of an individual who is a spouse or common-law partner or former spouse or common-law partner of the annuitant and who is entitled to the amount under a decree, an order or a judgment of a competent tribunal, or under a written agreement, that relates to a division of property between the annuitant and the individual in settlement of rights that arise out of, or on a breakdown of, their marriage or common-law partnership; and

An amount transferred on behalf of an individual in accordance with paragraph (2)(e) or subsection (14) or (14.1)
is not, solely because of that transfer, to be included in computing the income of any taxpayer; and
is not to be deducted in computing the income of any taxpayer.

the beneficiary notifies the issuer that the beneficiary chooses to become the holder of the plan.
If an entity described in subparagraph (a)(ii) or (iii) of the definition qualifying person in subsection (1) is appointed in respect of a beneficiary of a disability savings plan and a holder of the plan was a qualifying person in relation to the beneficiary at the time the plan (or another registered disability savings plan of the beneficiary) was entered into solely because of paragraph (c) of that definition,
the entity shall notify the issuer without delay of the entity’s appointment;
the holder of the plan ceases to be a holder of the plan; and
the entity becomes the holder of the plan.
If a dispute arises as a result of an issuer’s acceptance of a qualifying family member who was a qualifying person in relation to the beneficiary at the time the plan (or another registered disability savings plan of the beneficiary) was entered into solely because of paragraph (c) of the definition qualifying person in subsection (1) as a holder of a disability savings plan, from the time the dispute arises until the time that the dispute is resolved or an entity becomes the holder of the plan under subsection (1.5) or (1.6), the holder of the plan shall use their best efforts to avoid any reduction in the fair market value of the property held by the plan trust, having regard to the reasonable needs of the beneficiary under the plan.

the plan provides that, where an entity becomes a holder of the plan after the plan is entered into, the entity is prohibited (except to the extent otherwise permitted by the Minister or the specified Minister) from exercising their rights as a holder of the plan until the issuer has been advised of the entity having become a holder of the plan and been provided with the entity’s Social Insurance Number or business number, as the case may be;

the plan stipulates whether or not disability assistance payments that are not lifetime disability assistance payments are to be permitted under the plan;
the plan provides that when the total of all amounts paid under the Canada Disability Savings Act before the beginning of a calendar year to any registered disability savings plan of the beneficiary exceeds the total of all contributions made before the beginning of the calendar year to any registered disability savings plan of the beneficiary,

to satisfy an undertaking described in paragraph (8)(d), or
in lieu of a payment that would otherwise have been permitted to be made from the other plan in the calendar year had the transfer not occurred, and
if the beneficiary attained the age of 27 years, but not the age of 59 years, before the calendar year, the beneficiary has the right to direct that, within the constraints imposed by subparagraph (i) and paragraph (j), one or more disability assistance payments be made from the plan to the beneficiary in the calendar year;
[Repealed, 2012, c. 31, s. 35]
the plan provides that, if the beneficiary attained the age of 59 years before a calendar year, the total amount of disability assistance payments made from the plan to the beneficiary in the calendar year shall not be less than the amount determined by the formula set out in paragraph (l) in respect of the plan for the calendar year (or such lesser amount as is supported by the property of the plan trust);
the plan provides that, at the direction of the holders of the plan, the issuer shall transfer all of the property held by the plan trust (or an amount equal to its value) to another registered disability savings plan of the beneficiary, together with all information in its possession (other than information provided to the issuer of the other plan by the specified Minister) that may reasonably be considered necessary for compliance, in respect of the other plan, with the requirements of this Act and with any conditions and obligations imposed under the Canada Disability Savings Act; and
the plan provides for any amounts remaining in the plan (after taking into consideration any repayments under the Canada Disability Savings Act or a designated provincial program) to be paid to the beneficiary or the beneficiary’s estate, as the case may be, and for the plan to be terminated, by the end of the calendar year following the earlier of
the calendar year in which the beneficiary dies, and
the first calendar year
if an election is made under subsection (4.1), that includes the time that the election ceases because of paragraph (4.2)(b) to be valid, and
in any other case, throughout which the beneficiary has no severe and prolonged impairments with the effects described in paragraph 118.3(1)(a.1).

Unless an election is made under subsection (4.1), if 2011 or 2012 is the first calendar year throughout which the beneficiary of a registered disability savings plan has no severe and prolonged impairments with the effects described in paragraph 118.3(1)(a.1) and the plan has not been terminated, then notwithstanding subparagraph (4)(p)(ii) as it read on March 28, 2012 and any terms of the plan required by that subparagraph, the plan must be terminated no later than December 31, 2014.
No tax is payable under this Part by a trust on the taxable income of the trust for a taxation year if, throughout the period in the year during which the trust was in existence, the trust was governed by a registered disability savings plan, except that
tax is payable under this Part by the trust on its taxable income for the year if the trust has borrowed money
in the year, or
in a preceding taxation year and has not repaid it before the beginning of the year; and
if the trust is not otherwise taxable under paragraph (a) on its taxable income for the year and, at any time in the year, it carries on one or more businesses or holds one or more properties that are not qualified investments (as defined in subsection 205(1)) for the trust, tax is payable under this Part by the trust on the amount that its taxable income for the year would be if it had no incomes or losses from sources other than those businesses and properties, and no capital gains or losses other than from dispositions of those properties, and for this purpose,
“income” includes dividends described in section 83, and
paragraphs 38(a) and (b) are to be read as if the fraction set out in each of those paragraphs were replaced by the word “all”.
Where a disability assistance payment is made from a registered disability savings plan of a beneficiary, the amount, if any, by which the amount of the payment exceeds the non-taxable portion of the payment shall be included,
if the beneficiary is alive at the time the payment is made, in computing the beneficiary’s income for the beneficiary’s taxation year in which the payment is made; and
in any other case, in computing the income of the beneficiary’s estate for the estate’s taxation year in which the payment is made.
The non-taxable portion of a disability assistance payment made at a particular time from a registered disability savings plan of a beneficiary is the lesser of the amount of the disability assistance payment and the amount determined by the formula A × B/C where A is the amount of the disability assistance payment; B is the amount, if any, by which the total of all amounts each of which is the amount of a contribution made before the particular time to any registered disability savings plan of the beneficiary exceeds the total of all amounts each of which is the non-taxable portion of a disability assistance payment made before the particular time from any registered disability savings plan of the beneficiary; and C is the amount by which the fair market value of the property held by the plan trust immediately before the payment exceeds the assistance holdback amount in relation to the plan.
An amount is transferred from a registered disability savings plan (in this subsection referred to as the “prior plan”) of a beneficiary in accordance with this subsection if
the amount is transferred directly to another registered disability savings plan (in this subsection referred to as the “new plan”) of the beneficiary;
the prior plan is terminated immediately after the transfer;
the issuer of the prior plan provides the issuer of the new plan with all information in its possession concerning the prior plan (other than information provided to the issuer of the new plan by the specified Minister) as may reasonably be considered necessary for compliance, in respect of the new plan, with the requirements of this Act and with any conditions and obligations imposed under the Canada Disability Savings Act; and
where the beneficiary attained the age of 59 years before the calendar year in which the transfer occurs, the issuer of the new plan undertakes to make (in addition to any other disability assistance payments that would otherwise have been made from the new plan in the year) one or more disability assistance payments from the plan in the year, the total of which is equal to the amount, if any, by which
the total amount of disability assistance payments that would have been required to be made from the prior plan in the year if the transfer had not occurred
the total amount of disability assistance payments made from the prior plan in the year.
An amount transferred in accordance with subsection (8) is not, solely because of that transfer, to be included in computing the income of any taxpayer.
Where, at any particular time, a registered disability savings plan is non-compliant as described in subsection (11),
the plan ceases, as of the particular time, to be a registered disability savings plan (other than for the purposes of applying, as of the particular time, this subsection and subsection (11));
a disability assistance payment is deemed to have been made from the plan at the time (in this subsection referred to as the “relevant time”) immediately before the particular time to the beneficiary under the plan (or, if the beneficiary is deceased at the relevant time, to the beneficiary’s estate), the amount of which payment is equal to the amount, if any, by which
the fair market value of the property held by the plan trust at the relevant time
the assistance holdback amount in relation to the plan; and
if the plan is non-compliant because of a payment that is not in accordance with paragraph (4)(j), a disability assistance payment is deemed to have been made from the plan at the relevant time (in addition to the payment deemed by paragraph (b) to have been made) to the beneficiary under the plan (or, if the beneficiary is deceased at the relevant time, to the beneficiary’s estate)
the amount of which payment is equal to the amount by which the lesser of exceeds
the assistance holdback amount in relation to the plan, and
the fair market value of the property held by the plan trust at the relevant time
the fair market value of the property held by the plan trust immediately after the particular time, and
the non-taxable portion of which is deemed to be nil.
A registered disability savings plan is non-compliant
at any time that the plan fails to comply with a condition in subsection (4);
at any time that there is a failure to administer the plan in accordance with its terms (other than those terms which the plan is required by subparagraph (4)(a)(i) to stipulate); and
at any time that a person fails to comply with a condition or an obligation imposed, with respect to the plan, under the Canada Disability Savings Act, and the specified Minister has notified the Minister that, in the specified Minister’s opinion, it is appropriate that the plan be considered to be non-compliant because of the failure.
Where a registered disability savings plan would otherwise be non-compliant at a particular time because of a failure described in paragraph (11)(a) or (b),
the Minister may waive the application of the relevant paragraph with respect to the failure, if it is just and equitable to do so;
the Minister may deem the failure to have occurred at a later time;
if the failure consists of the making of a contribution that is prohibited under any of paragraphs (4)(f) to (h), an amount equal to the amount of the contribution has been withdrawn from the plan within such period as is specified by the Minister and the Minister has approved the application of this paragraph with respect to the failure,
the contribution is deemed never to have been made, and
the withdrawal is deemed not to be a disability assistance payment and not to be in contravention of the condition in paragraph (4)(i); or
if the failure consists of the plan not being terminated by the time set out in paragraph (4)(p) and the failure was due to the issuer being unaware of, or there being some uncertainty as to, the existence of circumstances requiring that the plan be terminated,
the Minister may specify a later time by which the plan is to be terminated (but no later than is reasonably necessary for the plan to be terminated in an orderly manner), and
paragraph (4)(p) and the plan terms are, for the purposes of paragraphs (11)(a) and (b), to be read as though they required the plan to be terminated by the time so specified.
The issuer of a registered disability savings plan shall,
where an entity becomes a holder of the plan after the plan is entered into, so notify the specified Minister in prescribed form containing prescribed information on or before the day that is 60 days after the later of
the day on which the issuer is advised of the entity having become a holder of the plan, and
the day on which the issuer is provided with the new holder’s Social Insurance Number or business number, as the case may be;
not amend the plan before having received notification from the Minister that, in the Minister’s opinion, a plan whose terms are identical to the amended plan would, if entered into by entities eligible to enter into a disability savings plan, comply with the conditions in subsection (4);
where the issuer becomes aware that the plan is, or is likely to become, non-compliant (determined without reference to paragraph (11)(c) and subsection (12)), notify the Minister and the specified Minister of this fact on or before the day that is 30 days after the day on which the issuer becomes so aware;
exercise the care, diligence and skill of a reasonably prudent person to minimize the possibility that a holder of the plan may become liable to pay tax under Part XI in connection with the plan; and
if the issuer enters into the plan with a qualifying family member who was a qualifying person in relation to the beneficiary at the time the plan (or another registered disability savings plan of the beneficiary) was entered into solely because of paragraph (c) of the definition qualifying person in subsection (1),
so notify the beneficiary under the plan without delay in writing and include in the notification information setting out the circumstances in which the holder of the plan may be replaced under subsection (1.5) or (1.6), and
collect and use any information provided by the holder of the plan that is relevant to the administration and operation of the plan.
If, after reasonable inquiry, an issuer of a disability savings plan is of the opinion that an individual’s contractual competence to enter into a disability savings plan is in doubt, no action lies against the issuer for entering into a plan, under which the individual is the beneficiary, with a qualifying family member who was a qualifying person in relation to the beneficiary at the time the plan (or another registered disability savings plan of the beneficiary) was entered into solely because of paragraph (c) of the definition qualifying person in subsection (1).

may become a beneficiary under the plan; and

The Minister shall not accept for registration for the purposes of this Act a profit sharing plan unless it includes terms that are adequate to ensure that the requirements of subsection 147(5.1) in respect of the plan will be satisfied for each calendar year.
The Minister may, on written application, extend the time for satisfying the requirements of paragraph 147(2)(i.1) where
the total of the forfeited amounts arising in a calendar year is greater than normal because of unusual circumstances; and
the forfeited amounts are to be reallocated on a reasonable basis to a majority of beneficiaries under the plan.
The Minister shall not accept for registration for the purposes of this Act any employees profit sharing plan unless all the capital gains of or made by the trust governed by the plan before the date of application for registration of the plan and all the capital losses of or sustained by the trust before that date have been allocated by the trustee under the plan to employees and other beneficiaries thereunder.
For the purposes of subsections 147(3) and 147(11), such amount as may be determined by the Minister, on request in prescribed manner by the trustee of a trust governed by an employees profit sharing plan, shall be deemed to be the amount of
the capital gains of or made by the trust governed by the plan before the date of application for registration of the plan, or
the capital losses of or sustained by the trust before that date,
as the case may be.
Where a profit sharing plan is accepted by the Minister for registration as a deferred profit sharing plan, the plan shall be deemed to have become registered as a deferred profit sharing plan
on the date the application for registration of the plan was made; or
where in the application for registration a later date is specified as the date on which the plan is to commence as a deferred profit sharing plan, on that date.
For the purposes of subsections 147(2.1) and 147(9) and paragraph 147(14)(c.4), the requirements of this subsection in respect of a deferred profit sharing plan are satisfied for a calendar year if, in the case of each beneficiary under the plan and each employer in respect of whom the beneficiary’s pension credit (as prescribed by regulation) for the year under the plan is greater than nil,
the total of all amounts each of which is the beneficiary’s pension credit (as prescribed by regulation) for the year in respect of the employer under a deferred profit sharing plan does not exceed the lesser of
1/2 of the money purchase limit for the year, and
18% of the amount that would be the beneficiary’s compensation (within the meaning assigned by subsection 147.1(1)) from the employer for the year if the definition compensation in subsection 147.1(1) were read without reference to paragraph (b) of that definition;
the total of all amounts each of which is the beneficiary’s pension credit (as prescribed by regulation) for the year under a deferred profit sharing plan in respect of

the money purchase limit for the year, and
18% of the total of all amounts each of which is the beneficiary’s compensation (within the meaning assigned by subsection 147.1(1)) for the year from the employer or any other employer referred to in subparagraph 147(5.1)(c)(ii).
[Repealed, 2013, c. 34, s. 301]
For a period during which a plan is a deferred profit sharing plan, the plan shall be deemed, for the purposes of this Act, not to be an employees profit sharing plan.
No tax is payable under this Part by a trust on the taxable income of the trust for a period during which the trust was governed by a deferred profit sharing plan.
Subject to subsection 147(9), there may be deducted in computing the income of an employer for a taxation year the total of all amounts each of which is an amount paid by the employer in the year or within 120 days after the end of the year to a trustee under a deferred profit sharing plan for the benefit of the employer’s employees who are beneficiaries under the plan, to the extent that the amount was paid in accordance with the terms of the plan and was not deducted in computing the employer’s income for a preceding taxation year.
Where the requirements of subsection 147(5.1) in respect of a deferred profit sharing plan are not satisfied for a calendar year by reason that the pension credits of a beneficiary under the plan in respect of a particular employer do not comply with paragraph 147(5.1)(a) or the beneficiary’s pension credits or pension adjustments in respect of a particular employer and other employers who do not deal at arm’s length with the particular employer do not comply with paragraph 147(5.1)(b) or 147(5.1)(c), the particular employer is not entitled to a deduction under subsection 147(8) in computing the particular employer’s income for any taxation year in respect of an amount paid to a trustee under the plan in the calendar year except to the extent expressly permitted in writing by the Minister, and, for the purposes of this subsection, an amount paid to a trustee of a deferred profit sharing plan in the first two months of a calendar year shall be deemed to have been paid in the immediately preceding year and not to have been paid in the year to the extent that the amount can reasonably be considered to be in respect of the immediately preceding year.
Notwithstanding subsection 147(8), no deduction shall be made in computing the income of an employer for a taxation year in respect of an amount paid by the employer for the year to a trustee under a deferred profit sharing plan in respect of a beneficiary who is described in paragraph 147(2)(k.2) in respect of the plan.
There shall be included in computing the income of a beneficiary under a deferred profit sharing plan for a taxation year the amount, if any, by which
the total of all amounts received by the beneficiary in the year from a trustee under the plan (other than as a result of acquiring an annuity described in subparagraph 147(2)(k)(vi) under which the beneficiary is the annuitant)
exceeds
the total of all amounts each of which is an amount determined for the year under subsection 147(10.1), 147(11) or 147(12) in relation to the plan and in respect of the beneficiary.
For the purposes of subsections 147(10) and 147(10.2), where a beneficiary under a deferred profit sharing plan has received, in a taxation year and when the beneficiary was resident in Canada, from a trustee under the plan a single payment that included shares of the capital stock of a corporation that was an employer who contributed to the plan or of a corporation with which the employer did not deal at arm’s length on the beneficiary’s withdrawal from the plan or retirement from employment or on the death of an employee or former employee and has made an election in respect thereof in prescribed manner and prescribed form, the amount determined for the year under this subsection in relation to the plan and in respect of the beneficiary is the amount, if any, by which the fair market value of those shares, immediately before the single payment was made, exceeds the cost amount to the plan of those shares at that time.
Where a trustee under a deferred profit sharing plan has at any time in a taxation year made under the plan a single payment that included shares referred to in subsection 147(10.1) to a beneficiary who was resident in Canada at the time and the beneficiary has made an election under that subsection in respect of that payment,
the trustee shall be deemed to have disposed of those shares for proceeds of disposition equal to the cost amount to the trust of those shares immediately before the single payment was made;
the cost to the beneficiary of those shares shall be deemed to be their cost amount to the trust immediately before the single payment was made;
the cost to the beneficiary of each of those shares shall be deemed to be the amount determined by the formula A × B/C where A is the amount determined under paragraph 147(10.2)(a) in respect of all of those shares, B is the fair market value of that share at the time the single payment was made, and C is the fair market value of all those shares at the time the single payment was made; and
for the purposes of paragraph 60(j), the cost to the beneficiary of those shares is an eligible amount in respect of the beneficiary for the year.
There shall be included in computing the income for a taxation year of a beneficiary described in paragraph 147(2)(k.2) the total of amounts allocated or reallocated to the beneficiary in the year in respect of
any amount contributed after December 1, 1982 by an employer to, or
any forfeited amount under
a deferred profit sharing plan or a plan the registration of which has been revoked pursuant to subsection 147(14) or 147(14.1).
Where a taxpayer has a share in respect of which the taxpayer has made an election under subsection 147(10.1), there shall be included in computing the taxpayer’s income for the taxation year in which the taxpayer disposed of or exchanged the share or ceased to be a resident of Canada, whichever is the earlier, the amount, if any, by which the fair market value of the share at the time the taxpayer acquired it exceeds the cost to the taxpayer, determined under paragraph (10.2)(c), of the share at the time the taxpayer acquired it.
Where an amendment is made to an annuity contract to which subparagraph (2)(k)(vi) applies, the sole effect of which is to defer annuity commencement to no later than the end of the calendar year in which the individual in respect of whom the contract was purchased attains 71 years of age, the annuity contract is deemed not to have been disposed of by the individual.
[Repealed, 2007, c. 29, s. 20]
For the purposes of subsections 147(10), 147(10.1) and 147(12), where an amount was received in a taxation year from a trustee under a deferred profit sharing plan by an employee or other beneficiary thereunder, and the employee was a beneficiary under the plan at a time when the plan was an employees profit sharing plan, the amount determined for the year under this subsection in relation to the plan and in respect of the beneficiary is such portion of the total of the amounts so received in the year as does not exceed
the total of
each amount included in respect of the plan in computing the income of the employee for the year or for a previous taxation year by virtue of section 144,
each amount paid by the employee to a trustee under the plan at a time when it was an employees profit sharing plan, and
each amount that was allocated to the employee or other beneficiary by a trustee under the plan, at a time when it was an employees profit sharing plan, in respect of a capital gain made by the trust before 1972,
minus
the total of
each amount received by the employee or other beneficiary in a previous taxation year from a trustee under the plan at a time when it was an employees profit sharing plan,

the total of all amounts each of which was so paid by the employee in the year or a previous year to the extent that the payment was not deductible in computing the employee’s income,
minus
the total of all amounts each of which was received by the employee or other beneficiary from a trustee under the plan, at a time when it was a deferred profit sharing plan, to the extent that it was included in the computation of an amount determined for a previous year under this subsection in relation to the plan and in respect of the employee or other beneficiary.
Where funds or property of a trust governed by a deferred profit sharing plan have been appropriated in any manner whatever to or for the benefit of a taxpayer who is
an employer by whom payments are made in trust to a trustee under the plan, or
a corporation with which that employer does not deal at arm’s length,
otherwise than in payment of or on account of shares of the capital stock of the taxpayer purchased by the trust, the amount or value of the funds or property so appropriated shall be included in computing the income of the taxpayer for the taxation year of the taxpayer in which the funds or property were so appropriated, unless the funds or property or an amount in lieu thereof equal to the amount or value of the funds or property was repaid to the trust within one year from the end of the taxation year, and it is established by subsequent events or otherwise that the repayment was not made as part of a series of appropriations and repayments.
Where, at any time after a profit sharing plan has been accepted by the Minister for registration for the purposes of this Act,
the plan has been revised or amended or a new plan has been substituted therefor, and the plan as revised or amended or the new plan substituted therefor, as the case may be, ceased to comply with the requirements of this section for its acceptance by the Minister for registration for the purposes of this Act,
any provision of the plan has not been complied with,

in the case of a plan that became registered after March, 1983, the plan does not comply with the requirements of paragraphs 147(2)(k.1) and 147(2)(k.2),
the requirements of subsection 147(5.1) in respect of the plan are not satisfied for a calendar year, or
an employer who participates in the plan fails to file an information return reporting a pension adjustment of a beneficiary under the plan as and when required by regulation,

where paragraph 147(14)(a) applies, as of the date that the plan ceased so to comply, or any subsequent date,
where paragraph 147(14)(b) applies, as of the date that any provision of the plan was not so complied with, or any subsequent date,
where paragraph 147(14)(c) applies, as of any date following January 1, 1968,
where paragraph 147(14)(c.1) applies, as of the date on which the plan became a revocable plan, or any subsequent date,
where paragraph 147(14)(c.2) or 147(14)(c.3) applies, as of the date on which the plan did not so comply, or any subsequent date, but not before January 1, 1991,
where paragraph 147(14)(c.4) applies, as of the end of the year for which the requirements of subsection 147(5.1) in respect of the plan are not satisfied, or any subsequent date, and
where paragraph 147(14)(c.5) applies, as of any date after the date by which the information return was required to be filed,
and the Minister shall thereafter give notice of the revocation by registered mail to a trustee under the plan and to an employer of employees who are beneficiaries under the plan.
Where on any day after June 30, 1982 a benefit or loan is extended or continues to be extended as a consequence of the existence of a deferred profit sharing plan and that benefit or loan would be prohibited if the plan met the requirement for registration contained in paragraph 147(2)(k.1), the Minister may revoke the registration of the plan as of that or any subsequent day that is specified by the Minister in a notice given by registered mail to a trustee under the plan and to an employer of employees who are beneficiaries under the plan.
Where the Minister revokes the registration of a deferred profit sharing plan, the plan (in this section referred to as the “revoked plan”) shall be deemed, for the purposes of this Act, not to be a deferred profit sharing plan, and notwithstanding any other provision of this Act, the following rules shall apply:
the revoked plan shall not be accepted for registration for the purposes of this Act or be deemed to have become registered as a deferred profit sharing plan at any time within a period of one year commencing on the date the plan became a revoked plan;
subsection 147(7) does not apply to exempt the trust governed by the plan from tax under this Part on the taxable income of the trust for a taxation year in which, at any time therein, the trust was governed by the revoked plan;
no deduction shall be made by an employer in computing the employer’s income for a taxation year in respect of an amount paid by the employer to a trustee under the plan at a time when it was a revoked plan;
there shall be included in computing the income of a taxpayer for a taxation year
all amounts received by the taxpayer in the year from a trustee under the revoked plan that, by virtue of subsection 147(10), would have been so included if the revoked plan had been a deferred profit sharing plan at the time the taxpayer received those amounts, and
the amount or value of any funds or property appropriated to or for the benefit of the taxpayer in the year that, by virtue of subsection 147(13), would have been so included if the revoked plan had been a deferred profit sharing plan at the time of the appropriation of the funds or property; and
the revoked plan shall be deemed, for the purposes of this Act, not to be an employees profit sharing plan or a retirement compensation arrangement.
Where the terms of an arrangement under which an employer makes payments to a trustee specifically provide that the payments shall be made “out of profits”, the arrangement shall be deemed, for the purpose of subsection 147(1), to be an arrangement for payments “computed by reference to an employer’s profits from the employer’s business”.
Where the expression “employee or other beneficiary” under a profit sharing plan occurs in this section, the words other beneficiary shall be construed as meaning any person, other than the employee, to whom any amount is or may become payable by a trustee under the plan as a result of payments made to the trustee under the plan in trust for the benefit of employees, including the employee.
Where a trust governed by a deferred profit sharing plan or revoked plan
disposes of property to a taxpayer for a consideration less than the fair market value of the property at the time of the transaction, or for no consideration, or
acquires property from a taxpayer for a consideration greater than the fair market value of the property at the time of the transaction,
the difference between that fair market value and the consideration, if any,
shall, for the purposes of subsections 147(10) and 147(15), be deemed to be an amount received by the taxpayer at the time of the disposal or acquisition, as the case may be, from a trustee under the plan as if the taxpayer were a beneficiary under the plan, and
is an amount taxable under section 201 for the calendar year in which the trust disposes of or acquires the property, as the case may be.
An amount is transferred from a deferred profit sharing plan in accordance with this subsection if the amount
is not part of a series of periodic payments;
is transferred on behalf of an individual
who is an employee or former employee of an employer who participated in the plan on the employee’s behalf, or
who is a spouse or common-law partner, or former spouse or common-law partner, of an employee or former employee referred to in subparagraph (i) and who is entitled to the amount
as a consequence of the death of the employee or former employee, or
under a decree, an order or a judgment of a competent tribunal, or under a written agreement, that relates to a division of property between the employee or former employee and the individual in settlement of rights that arise out of, or on a breakdown of, their marriage or common-law partnership;
in full or partial satisfaction of the individual’s entitlement to benefits under the plan;
would, if it were paid directly to the individual, be included under subsection 147(10) in computing the individual’s income for a taxation year; and
is transferred for the benefit of the individual directly to
a registered pension plan,
a registered retirement savings plan under which the individual is the annuitant (within the meaning assigned by subsection 146(1)),
a deferred profit sharing plan that can reasonably be expected to have at least 5 beneficiaries at all times throughout the calendar year in which the transfer is made, or
a registered retirement income fund under which the individual is the annuitant (within the meaning assigned by subsection 146.3(1)).
Where an amount is transferred on behalf of an individual in accordance with subsection 147(19),
the amount shall not, by reason only of that transfer, be included by virtue of this section in computing the income of any taxpayer; and
no deduction may be made under any provision of this Act in respect of the amount in computing the income of any taxpayer.
A deferred profit sharing plan becomes a revocable plan at any time that an amount is transferred from the plan to a registered pension plan, a registered retirement savings plan or another deferred profit sharing plan unless
the transfer is in accordance with subsection 147(19); or
the amount is deductible under paragraph 60(j) or 60(j.2) of this Act or paragraph 60(k) of the Income Tax Act, chapter 148 of the Revised Statutes of Canada, 1952, by the individual on whose behalf the transfer is made.
Where
the transfer of an amount from a deferred profit sharing plan in a calendar year on behalf of a beneficiary under the plan would, but for this subsection, be in accordance with subsection 147(19), and
the requirements of subsection 147(5.1) in respect of the plan are not satisfied for the year by reason that the beneficiary’s pension credits or pension adjustments do not comply with any of paragraphs 147(5.1)(a) to 147(5.1)(c),
such portion of the amount transferred as may reasonably be considered to derive from amounts allocated or reallocated to the beneficiary in the year or from earnings reasonably attributable to those amounts shall, except to the extent otherwise expressly provided in writing by the Minister, be deemed to be an amount that was not transferred in accordance with subsection 147(19).

The following rules apply with respect to the registration of pension plans:
the Minister shall not register a pension plan unless
application for registration is made in prescribed manner by the plan administrator,
the plan complies with prescribed conditions for registration, and
where the plan is required to be registered under the Pension Benefits Standards Act, 1985 or a similar law of a province, application for such registration has been made;
where a pension plan that was submitted for registration before 1992 is registered by the Minister, the registration is effective from the day specified in writing by the Minister; and
where a pension plan that is submitted for registration after 1991 is registered by the Minister, the registration is effective from the later of
January 1 of the calendar year in which application for registration is made in prescribed manner by the plan administrator, and
the day the plan began.
Where application is made to the Minister for registration of a pension plan for the purposes of this Act and, where the manner for making the application has been prescribed, the application is made in that manner by the administrator,
subject to paragraph 147.1(3)(b), the plan is, for the purposes of this Act other than paragraphs 60(j) and 60(j.2) and sections 147.3 and 147.4, deemed to be a registered pension plan throughout the period that begins on the latest of
January 1 of the calendar year in which the application is made,
the day of commencement of the plan, and
January 1, 1989
and ending on the day on which a final determination is made with respect to the application; and
where the final determination made with respect to the application is a refusal to register the plan, this Act shall, after the day of the final determination, apply as if the plan had never been deemed, under paragraph 147.1(3)(a), to be a registered pension plan, except that
any information return otherwise required to be filed under subsection 207.7(3) before the particular day that is 90 days after the day of the final determination is not required to be filed until the particular day, and
subsections 227(8) and 227(8.2) are not applicable with respect to contributions made to the plan on or before the day of the final determination.
The Minister shall not accept an amendment to a registered pension plan unless
application for the acceptance is made in prescribed manner by the plan administrator;
the plan as amended complies with prescribed conditions for registration; and
the amendment complies with prescribed conditions.
The Minister may, at any time, impose reasonable conditions applicable with respect to registered pension plans, a class of such plans or a particular registered pension plan.
There shall, for each registered pension plan, be a person or a body of persons that has ultimate responsibility for the administration of the plan and, except as otherwise permitted in writing by the Minister, the person or a majority of the persons who constitute the body shall be a person or persons resident in Canada.
The administrator of a registered pension plan shall
administer the plan in accordance with the terms of the plan as registered except that, where the plan fails to comply with the prescribed conditions for registration or any other requirement of this Act or the regulations, the administrator may administer the plan as if it were amended to so comply;
before July, 1990, in the case of a person or body that is the administrator on January 1, 1989 or becomes the administrator before June, 1990, and, in any other case, within 30 days after becoming the administrator, inform the Minister in writing

where there is any change in the information provided to the Minister in accordance with this paragraph or paragraph 147.1(7)(b), inform the Minister in writing, within 60 days after the change, of the new information.
Except as otherwise provided by regulation, a registered pension plan (other than a multi-employer plan) becomes, at the end of a calendar year after 1990, a revocable plan where
the pension adjustment for the year of a member of the plan in respect of a participating employer exceeds the lesser of
the money purchase limit for the year, and
18% of the member’s compensation from the employer for the year; or

the pension adjustment for the year of a member of the plan in respect of a participating employer, and

exceeds the money purchase limit for the year.
Except as otherwise provided by regulation, a registered pension plan that is a multi-employer plan (other than a specified multi-employer plan) in a calendar year after 1990 becomes, at the end of the year, a revocable plan where
for a member and an employer, the total of all amounts each of which is the member’s pension credit (as prescribed by regulation) for the year in respect of the employer under a defined benefit or money purchase provision of the plan exceeds the lesser of
the money purchase limit for the year, and
18% of the member’s compensation from the employer for the year; or
for a member, the total of all amounts each of which is the member’s pension credit (as prescribed by regulation) for the year in respect of an employer under a defined benefit or money purchase provision of the plan exceeds the money purchase limit for the year.
With respect to each past service event that is relevant to the determination of benefits in respect of a member under a defined benefit provision of a registered pension plan, such benefits as are in respect of periods after 1989 and before the calendar year in which the event occurred shall be determined, for the purpose of a payment to be made from the plan or a contribution to be made to the plan at a particular time, with regard to the event only if
where the member is alive at the particular time and except as otherwise provided by regulation, the Minister has certified in writing, before the particular time, that prescribed conditions are satisfied,
where the member died before the particular time and the event occurred before the death of the member,
this subsection did not require that the event be disregarded in determining benefits that were payable to the member immediately before the member’s death (or that would have been so payable had the member been entitled to receive benefits under the provision immediately before the member’s death), or
the event, as it affects the benefits provided to each individual who is entitled to benefits as a consequence of the death of the member, is acceptable to the Minister,
where the member died before the particular time and the event occurred after the death of the member, the event, as it affects the benefits provided to each individual who is entitled to benefits as a consequence of the death of the member, is acceptable to the Minister, and
no past service event that occurred before the event is required by reason of the application of this subsection to be disregarded at the particular time in determining benefits in respect of the member,
and, for the purposes of this subsection as it applies with respect to contributions that may be made to a registered pension plan, where application has been made for a certification referred to in paragraph 147.1(10)(a) and the Minister has not refused to issue the certification, the Minister shall be deemed to have issued the certification.
Where, at any time after a pension plan has been registered by the Minister,
the plan does not comply with the prescribed conditions for registration,
the plan is not administered in accordance with the terms of the plan as registered,
the plan becomes a revocable plan,
a condition imposed by the Minister in writing and applicable with respect to the plan (including a condition applicable generally to registered pension plans or a class of such plans and a condition first imposed before 1989) is not complied with,
a requirement under subsection 147.1(6) or 147.1(7) is not complied with,
a benefit is paid by the plan, or a contribution is made to the plan, contrary to subsection 147.1(10),

a participating employer fails to file an information return relating to the plan or to a member of the plan as and when required by regulation, or
registration of the plan under the Pension Benefits Standards Act, 1985 or a similar law of a province is refused or revoked,
the Minister may give notice (in this subsection and subsection 147.1(12) referred to as a “notice of intent”) by registered mail to the plan administrator that the Minister proposes to revoke the registration of the plan as of a date specified in the notice of intent, which date shall not be earlier than the date as of which,
where paragraph 147.1(11)(a) applies, the plan failed to so comply,
where paragraph 147.1(11)(b) applies, the plan was not administered in accordance with its terms as registered,
where paragraph 147.1(11)(c) applies, the plan became a revocable plan,
where paragraph 147.1(11)(d) or 147.1(11)(e) applies, the condition or requirement was not complied with,
where paragraph 147.1(11)(f) applies, the benefit was paid or the contribution was made,
where paragraph 147.1(11)(g) or 147.1(11)(h) applies, the information return or actuarial report was required to be filed, and
where paragraph 147.1(11)(i) applies, the registration referred to in that paragraph was refused or revoked.
Where the Minister gives a notice of intent to the administrator of a registered pension plan, or the plan administrator applies to the Minister in writing for the revocation of the plan’s registration, the Minister may,
where the plan administrator has applied to the Minister in writing for the revocation of the plan’s registration, at any time after receiving the administrator’s application, and
in any other case, after 30 days after the day of mailing of the notice of intent,
give notice (in this subsection and subsection 147.1(13) referred to as a “notice of revocation”) by registered mail to the plan administrator that the registration of the plan is revoked as of the date specified in the notice of revocation, which date may not be earlier than the date specified in the notice of intent or the administrator’s application, as the case may be.
Where the Minister gives a notice of revocation to the administrator of a registered pension plan, the registration of the plan is revoked as of the date specified in the notice of revocation, unless the Federal Court of Appeal or a judge thereof, on application made at any time before the determination of an appeal pursuant to subsection 172(3), orders otherwise.
Where at any time the Minister gives written notice to the administrators of two or more registered pension plans, each of which is a multi-employer plan, that this subsection is applicable in relation to those plans with respect to a calendar year,
each of those plans that is a specified multi-employer plan in the year shall, for the purposes of subsection 147.1(9) (other than for the purpose of determining the pension credits referred to in paragraphs 147.1(9)(a) and 147.1(9)(b)), be deemed to be a multi-employer plan that is not a specified multi-employer plan; and
the totals determined for the year under paragraphs 147.1(9)(a) and 147.1(9)(b) shall be the amounts that would be determined if all the plans were a single plan.
Any reference in this Act and the regulations to a pension plan as registered means the terms of the plan on the basis of which the Minister has registered the plan for the purposes of this Act and as amended by
each amendment that has been accepted by the Minister, and
each amendment that has been submitted to the Minister for acceptance and that the Minister has neither accepted nor refused to accept, if it is reasonable to expect the Minister to accept the amendment,
and includes all terms that are not contained in the documents constituting the plan but that are terms of the plan by reason of the Pension Benefits Standards Act, 1985 or a similar law of a province.
Every person who is a member of a body that is the administrator of a registered pension plan is subject to all obligations imposed on administrators by this Act or a regulation as if the person were the administrator of the plan.
The Minister may, for the purposes of this Act, obtain the advice of the Superintendent of Financial Institutions with respect to any matter relating to pension plans.
The Governor in Council may make regulations
prescribing conditions for the registration of pension plans and enabling the Minister to impose additional conditions or waive any conditions that are prescribed;

generally to carry out the purposes and provisions of this Act relating to registered pension plans and the determination and reporting of specified amounts.
The administrator of a registered pension plan may make a payment (other than a payment made to avoid the revocation of the registration of the plan) that is a return of all or a portion of a contribution made by a member of the plan, or an employer who participates in the plan, if
the contribution was made to the plan as a consequence of a reasonable error;
the payment is made to the member or employer, as the case may be, who made the contribution; and
the payment is made no later than December 31 of the year following the year in which the contribution was made.
For a taxation year ending after 1990, there may be deducted in computing the income of a taxpayer who is an employer the total of all amounts each of which is a contribution made by the employer after 1990 and either in the taxation year or within 120 days after the end of the taxation year to a registered pension plan in respect of the employer’s employees or former employees, to the extent that
in the case of a contribution in respect of a money purchase provision of a plan, the contribution was made in accordance with the plan as registered and in respect of periods before the end of the taxation year;
in the case of a contribution in respect of the defined benefit provisions of a plan (other than a specified multi-employer plan), the contribution
is an eligible contribution,
was made to fund benefits provided to employees and former employees of the employer in respect of periods before the end of the taxation year, and
complies with subsection 147.1(10);
in the case of a contribution made to a plan that is a specified multi-employer plan, the contribution was made in accordance with the plan as registered and in respect of periods before the end of the taxation year; and
the contribution was not deducted in computing the income of the employer for a preceding taxation year.
For the purposes of subsection 147.2(1), a contribution made by an employer to a registered pension plan in respect of the defined benefit provisions of the plan is an eligible contribution if it is a prescribed contribution or if it complies with prescribed conditions and is made pursuant to a recommendation by an actuary in whose opinion the contribution is required to be made so that the plan will have sufficient assets to pay benefits under the defined benefit provisions of the plan, as registered, in respect of the employees and former employees of the employer, where
the recommendation is based on an actuarial valuation that complies with the following conditions, except the conditions in subparagraphs 147.2(2)(a)(iii) and 147.2(2)(a)(iv) to the extent that they are inconsistent with any other conditions that apply for the purpose of determining whether the contribution is an eligible contribution:
the effective date of the valuation is not more than 4 years before the day on which the contribution is made,
actuarial liabilities and current service costs are determined in accordance with an actuarial funding method that produces a reasonable matching of contributions with accruing benefits,
all assumptions made for the purposes of the valuation are reasonable at the time the valuation is prepared and at the time the contribution is made,
the valuation is prepared in accordance with generally accepted actuarial principles,
the valuation complies with prescribed conditions, which conditions may include conditions regarding the benefits that may be taken into account for the purposes of the valuation, and
where more than one employer participates in the plan, assets and actuarial liabilities are apportioned in a reasonable manner among participating employers in respect of their employees and former employees, and
the recommendation is approved by the Minister in writing,
and, for the purposes of this subsection and except as otherwise provided by regulation,
the benefits taken into account for the purposes of a recommendation may include anticipated cost-of-living and similar adjustments where the terms of a pension plan do not require that those adjustments be made but it is reasonable to expect that they will be made, and
a recommendation with respect to the contributions required to be made by an employer in respect of the defined benefit provisions of a pension plan may be prepared without regard to such portion of the assets of the plan apportioned to the employer in respect of the employer’s employees and former employees as does not exceed the lesser of
the amount of actuarial surplus in respect of the employer, and
25% of the amount of actuarial liabilities apportioned to the employer in respect of the employer’s employees and former employees.
Where, for the purposes of subsection 147.2(2), a person seeks the Minister’s approval of a recommendation made by an actuary in connection with the contributions to be made by an employer to a registered pension plan in respect of the defined benefit provisions of the plan, the person shall file with the Minister a report prepared by the actuary that contains the recommendation and any other information required by the Minister.
There may be deducted in computing the income of an individual for a taxation year ending after 1990 an amount equal to the total of
the total of all amounts each of which is a contribution (other than a prescribed contribution) made by the individual in the year to a registered pension plan that is in respect of a period after 1989 or that is a prescribed eligible contribution, to the extent that the contribution was made in accordance with the plan as registered,
the least of
the amount, if any, by which exceeds
the total of all amounts each of which is a contribution (other than an additional voluntary contribution or a prescribed contribution) made by the individual in the year or a preceding taxation year and after 1945 to a registered pension plan in respect of a particular year before 1990, if all or any part of the particular year is included in the individual’s eligible service under the plan and if
in the case of a contribution that the individual made before March 28, 1988 or was obliged to make under the terms of an agreement in writing entered into before March 28, 1988, the individual was not a contributor to the plan in the particular year, or

Where
at any time an individual acquires, in full or partial satisfaction of the individual’s entitlement to benefits under a registered pension plan, an interest in an annuity contract purchased from a licensed annuities provider,
the rights provided for under the contract are not materially different from those provided for under the plan as registered,
the contract does not permit premiums to be paid at or after that time, other than a premium paid at that time out of or under the plan to purchase the contract,
either the plan is not a plan in respect of which the Minister may, under subsection 147.1(11), give a notice of intent to revoke the registration of the plan or the Minister waives the application of this paragraph with respect to the contract and so notifies the administrator of the plan in writing, and
the individual does not acquire the interest as a consequence of a transfer of property from the plan to a registered retirement savings plan or a registered retirement income fund,
the following rules apply for the purposes of this Act:
the individual is deemed not to have received an amount out of or under the registered pension plan as a consequence of acquiring the interest, and
other than for the purposes of sections 147.1 and 147.3, any amount received at or after that time by any individual under the contract is deemed to have been received under the registered pension plan.
Where
an amendment is made at any time to an annuity contract to which subsection (1) or paragraph 254(a) applies, other than an amendment the sole effect of which is to
defer annuity commencement to no later than the end of the calendar year in which the individual in respect of whom the contract was purchased attains 71 years of age, or
enhance benefits under the annuity contract in connection with the demutualization (as defined by subsection 139.1(1)) of an insurance corporation that is considered for the purpose of section 139.1 to have been a party to the annuity contract, and
the rights provided for under the contract are materially altered as a consequence of the amendment,
the following rules apply for the purposes of this Act:
each individual who has an interest in the contract immediately before that time is deemed to have received at that time the payment of an amount under a pension plan equal to the fair market value of the interest immediately before that time,
the contract as amended is deemed to be a separate annuity contract issued at that time otherwise than pursuant to or under a superannuation or pension fund or plan, and
each individual who has an interest in the separate annuity contract immediately after that time is deemed to have acquired the interest at that time at a cost equal to the fair market value of the interest immediately after that time.
For the purposes of this Act, where an annuity contract (in this subsection referred to as the “original contract”) to which subsection 147.4(1) or paragraph 254(a) applies is, at any time, substituted by another contract,
if the rights provided for under the other contract
are not materially different from those provided for under the original contract, or
are materially different from those provided for under the original contract only because of an enhancement of benefits that can reasonably be considered to have been provided solely in connection with the demutualization (as defined by subsection 139.1(1)) of an insurance corporation that is considered for the purposes of section 139.1 to have been a party to the original contract,
the other contract is deemed to be the same contract as, and a continuation of, the original contract; and
in any other case, each individual who has an interest in the original contract immediately before that time is deemed to have received at that time the payment of an amount under a pension plan equal to the fair market value of the interest immediately before that time.

The Minister may accept for registration a pooled pension plan for the purposes of this Act, but shall not accept for registration any plan unless application for registration is made in prescribed manner by the plan administrator and, in the Minister’s opinion, the plan complies with the following conditions:
the primary purpose of the plan is to accept and invest contributions in order to provide retirement income to plan members, subject to the limits and other requirements under this Act;
a single and separate account is maintained for each member under the member’s Social Insurance Number
to which are credited all contributions made to the plan in respect of the member, and any earnings of the plan allocated to the member, and

the plan permits the payment of an amount to a member if the amount is paid to reduce the amount of tax that would otherwise be payable under Part X.1 by the member;
any amount payable from an account of a member after the death of the member is paid as soon as practicable after the death;
there is no reason to expect that the plan may become a revocable plan; and

A pooled registered pension plan becomes a revocable plan at any time that
a contribution is made to the plan other than an amount
paid by a member of the plan,
paid by an employer or former employer of a member of the plan in respect of the member, or
transferred to the plan in accordance with any of subsections (21), 146(16) and (21), 146.3(14) and (14.1), 147(19) and 147.3(1), (4) and (5) to (7);

a distribution is made from the plan other than
a payment of benefits in accordance with subsection (5), or
a return of contributions
if a contribution to the plan has been made as a result of a reasonable error by a member of the plan or a participating employer in relation to the plan and the return of contributions is made to the person who made the contribution no later than December 31 of the year following the calendar year in which the contribution was made,
to avoid the revocation of the registration of the plan,
to reduce the amount of tax that would otherwise be payable under Part X.1 by a member, or
to comply with any requirement under this Act;
property is held in connection with the plan that
the administrator knew or ought to have known was a restricted investment for the plan, or
in the case of a designated pooled pension plan, is a share or debt of, or an interest in, a participating employer of the plan or any person or partnership that does not deal at arm’s length with a participating employer, or an interest (or, for civil law, a right) in, or a right to acquire, such a share, debt or interest;

The following benefits may be provided under a pooled pension plan:
the payment of benefits to a member that would be in accordance with paragraph 8506(1)(e.1) of the Income Tax Regulations if the benefits were provided under a money purchase provision of a registered pension plan; and

The Minister may, at any time, impose reasonable conditions, in writing, applicable with respect to PRPPs, a class of PRPPs or a particular PRPP.

all capital gains and capital losses from the disposition of property held in connection with the business are deemed to be income or losses, as the case may be, from the business; and
the trust’s income is to be computed without reference to subsections 104(6), (19) and (21).
The administrator of a PRPP shall exercise the care, diligence and skill of a reasonably prudent trustee to minimize the possibility that the registration of the PRPP may be revoked other than at the request of the administrator.
There may be deducted in computing a taxpayer’s income for a taxation year, the total of all amounts each of which is a contribution made by the taxpayer in the year or within 120 days after the end of the year to a PRPP in respect of the taxpayer’s employees or former employees to the extent that the contribution
was made in accordance with the PRPP as registered and in respect of periods before the end of the year; and
was not deducted in computing the taxpayer’s income for a preceding taxation year.
For the purposes of paragraphs 60(j), (j.1) and (l), section 146 (other than subsections (8.3) to (8.7)), paragraphs 146.01(3)(a) and 146.02(3)(a) and Parts X.1 and X.5, a contribution made to a PRPP by a member of a PRPP is deemed to be a premium paid by the member to an RRSP under which the member is the annuitant.
For the purposes of paragraph 18(1)(u), subparagraph (a)(i) of the definition excluded right or interest in subsection 128.1(10), paragraph 146(8.2)(b), subsection 146(8.21), paragraphs 146(16)(a) and (b), subparagraph 146(21)(a)(i), paragraph (b) of the definition excluded premium in subsection 146.01(1), paragraph (c) of the definition excluded premium in subsection 146.02(1), subsections 146.3(14) and 147(19) to (21), section 147.3 and paragraphs 212(1)(j.1) and (m), and of regulations made under 147.1(18), a member’s account under a PRPP is deemed to be a registered retirement savings plan under which the member is the annuitant.
There shall be included in computing the income of a taxpayer for a taxation year
if the taxpayer is a member of a PRPP, the total of all amounts each of which is a distribution made in the year from the member’s account under the PRPP, other than an amount that is
included in computing the income of another taxpayer for the year under paragraph (b),
described in subsection (22), or
distributed after the death of the member;
if the taxpayer is a participating employer in relation to a PRPP, the total of all amounts each of which is a return of contributions that is described in clause (3)(d)(ii)(A) and that is made to the taxpayer in the year.
If a member of a PRPP dies and there is no successor member in respect of the deceased member’s account under the PRPP, an amount, equal to the amount by which the fair market value of all property held in connection with the account immediately before the death exceeds the total of all amounts distributed from the account that are described in subsection (16), is deemed to have been distributed from the account immediately before the death.
If a member of a PRPP dies and there is a successor member in respect of the deceased member’s account under the PRPP,
the account ceases to be an account of the deceased member at the time of the death;
the successor member is, after the time of the death, deemed to hold the account as a member of the PRPP; and
the successor member is deemed to be a separate member in respect of any other account under the PRPP that the successor member holds.
If, as a consequence of the death of a member of a PRPP, an amount is distributed in a taxation year from the member’s account under the PRPP to, or on behalf of, a qualifying survivor of the member, the amount shall be included in computing the survivor’s income for the year, except to the extent that it is an amount described in subsection (22).
If an amount is distributed at any time from a deceased member’s account under a PRPP to the member’s legal representative and a qualifying survivor of the member is entitled to all or a portion of the amount in full or partial satisfaction of the survivor’s rights as a beneficiary (as defined in subsection 108(1)) under the deceased’s estate, then, for the purposes of subsection (16), the amount or portion of the amount, as the case may be, is deemed to have been distributed at that time from the member’s account to the qualifying survivor (and not to the legal representative) to the extent that it is so designated jointly by the legal representative and the qualifying survivor in prescribed form filed with the Minister.
There shall be included in computing the income for a taxation year of a taxpayer who is not a qualifying survivor in relation to a member of a PRPP, the total of all amounts each of which is an amount determined by the formula A – B where A is the amount of a distribution made in the year from the member’s account under the PRPP as a consequence of the member’s death to, or on behalf of, the taxpayer, and B is an amount designated by the administrator of the PRPP not exceeding the lesser of the amount of the distribution, and the amount by which the fair market value of all property held in connection with the account immediately before the death exceeds the total of all amounts each of which is the value of B in respect of any prior distribution made from the account, or an amount included under subsection (16) in computing the income of a qualifying survivor in relation to the member.
There may be deducted in computing the income of a member of a PRPP for the taxation year in which the member dies, an amount not exceeding the amount determined, after all amounts payable from the member’s account under the PRPP have been distributed, by the formula A – B where A is the total of all amounts each of which is an amount in respect of the account included in the member’s income under subsection (13) because of the application of subsection (14), included in the income of another taxpayer under subsection (16) or (18), or transferred in accordance with subsection (21) in circumstances described in subparagraph (21)(b)(iii); and B is the total of all distributions made from the account after the member’s death.
Except where the Minister has waived in writing the application of this subsection with respect to all or any portion of the amount determined in subsection (19) in respect of a member’s account under a PRPP, that subsection does not apply if the last distribution from the account was made after the end of the calendar year following the year in which the member died.
An amount is transferred from a member’s account under a PRPP in accordance with this subsection if the amount
is a single amount;
is transferred on behalf of an individual who
is the member,
is a spouse or common-law partner or former spouse or common-law partner of the member and who is entitled to the amount under a decree, order or judgment of a competent tribunal, or under a written agreement, relating to a division of property between the member and the individual, in settlement of rights arising out of, or on a breakdown of, their marriage or common-law partnership, or
is entitled to the amount as a consequence of the death of the member and was a spouse or common-law partner of the member immediately before the death; and
is transferred directly to
the individual’s account under the PRPP,
another PRPP in respect of the individual,
a registered pension plan for the benefit of the individual,
a registered retirement savings plan or registered retirement income fund under which the individual is the annuitant, or
a licensed annuities provider to acquire a qualifying annuity for the individual.
If subsection (21) applies to an amount transferred from a member’s account under a PRPP on behalf of an individual,
the amount shall not, by reason only of that transfer, be included in computing the income of the individual; and
no deduction may be made in respect of the amount in computing the income of any taxpayer.
If an amount is transferred in accordance with subsection (21) to acquire a qualifying annuity, there shall be included — under this section and not under any other provision of this Act — in computing an individual’s income for a taxation year any amount received by the individual during the year out of or under the annuity or as proceeds from a disposition in respect of the annuity.
The Minister may give notice (in subsections (25) and (26) referred to as a “notice of intent”) to an administrator of a PRPP in writing that the Minister intends to revoke the registration of the plan as a PRPP if
the plan does not comply with the conditions for registration in subsection (2);
the plan is not administered in accordance with the terms of the plan as registered;
the plan becomes a revocable plan;
a condition imposed under subsection (6) that applies with respect to the plan is not complied with; or
registration of the plan under the Pooled Registered Pension Plans Act or a similar law of a province is refused or revoked.
The notice of intent shall specify the date on which revocation of a PRPP is to be effective, which date shall not be earlier than the earliest date on which one of the events described in subsection (24) occurs.
At any time after 30 days after the day on which the notice of intent is mailed to an administrator of a PRPP, the Minister may give notice (in this subsection and in subsection (27) referred to as a “notice of revocation”) in writing to the administrator that the registration of the PRPP is revoked as of the date specified in the notice of revocation and that date may not be earlier than the date specified in the notice of intent.
If the Minister gives a notice of revocation to the administrator of a PRPP, the registration of the PRPP is revoked as of the date specified in the notice of revocation, unless the Federal Court of Appeal or a judge of that Court, on application made at any time before the determination of an appeal pursuant to subsection 172(3), orders otherwise.
If the administrator of a PRPP so requests in writing, the Minister may give notice in writing to the administrator that the registration of the PRPP is revoked as of a specified date and that date may not be earlier than the date specified in the administrator’s request.
For the purposes of the definition designated pooled pension plan in subsection (1), all employers that are related to each other are deemed to be a single employer and all the structural units of a trade union, including each local, branch, national and international unit, are deemed to be a single employer.
For the purposes of the definition restricted investment in subsection (1), a member of a pooled pension plan has a significant interest in a corporation, trust or partnership at any time if, at that time,
in the case of a corporation, the member is a specified shareholder of the corporation; and
in the case of a partnership or trust,
the member is a specified unitholder of the partnership or the trust, as the case may be, or
the total fair market value of the member’s interests in the partnership or the trust, as the case may be, together with all interests in the partnership or the trust held by persons or partnerships with whom the member does not deal at arm’s length or is affiliated, is 10% or more of the fair market value of all interests in the partnership or the trust.
Contributions may be made to a PRPP in respect of a member of the PRPP as if the member’s earned income (as defined in subsection 146(1)) for a taxation year included the member’s exempt earned income for the year.
A contribution made by a member of a PRPP to the member’s account under the PRPP out of or from the member’s exempt earned income may not be deducted in computing the income of the member for any taxation year.
For the purposes of Part X.1 as it applies because of subsection (11) in respect of contributions made to a PRPP,
an individual’s earned income (as defined in subsection 146(1)) for any taxation year after 2012 includes the individual’s exempt earned income for that year;
an individual’s exempt-income contribution amount for any taxation year is deemed to have been deducted by the individual under subsection 146(5) in computing the individual’s income for that year; and
the description of D in paragraph (b) of the definition unused RRSP deduction room in subsection 146(1) is to be read without reference to subparagraph (iv).
A taxpayer may designate an amount as the taxpayer’s exempt-income contribution amount for a taxation year if the amount designated does not exceed the lesser of
the taxpayer’s unused non-deductible PRPP room at the end of the preceding taxation year, and
the total of the taxpayer’s contributions as a member to a PRPP for the year (other than contributions to which subsection (32) applies).
The Governor in Council may make regulations
prescribing conditions applicable to administrators;
requiring administrators to file information returns respecting pooled pension plans;
enabling the Minister to require any person to provide the Minister with information for the purposes and provisions of this Act relating to PRPPs; and
generally to carry out the purposes and provisions of this Act relating to PRPPs.

a registered pension fund or plan,
a registered retirement savings plan,
a registered retirement income fund,
a TFSA,
a pooled registered pension plan,
an income-averaging annuity contract,
a deferred profit sharing plan, or

the policyholder acquired the annuity contract in circumstances to which subsection 146(21) applied,
There shall be included in computing the income for a taxation year of a taxpayer in respect of a disposition of an interest in a life insurance policy described in paragraph (e) of the definition disposition in subsection 148(9) the amount, if any, by which the amount of a payment described in paragraph (e) of that definition that the taxpayer became entitled to receive in the year exceeds the amount that would be the taxpayer’s adjusted cost basis of the taxpayer’s interest in the policy immediately before the disposition if, for the purposes of the definition adjusted cost basis in subsection 148(9), the taxpayer were, in respect of that interest in the policy, the policyholder.
For the purposes of subsections 148(1) and 20(20) and the definition adjusted cost basis in subsection 148(9)
where at any time a policyholder becomes entitled to receive under a life insurance policy a particular amount as, on account of, in lieu of payment of or in satisfaction of, a policy dividend, the policyholder shall be deemed
to have disposed of an interest in the policy at that time, and
to have become entitled to receive proceeds of the disposition equal to the amount, if any, by which exceeds
the particular amount
the part of the particular amount applied immediately after that time to pay a premium under the policy or to repay a policy loan under the policy, as provided for under the terms and conditions of the policy;
where in a taxation year a holder of an interest in, or a person whose life is insured or who is the annuitant under, a life insurance policy (other than an annuity contract or an exempt policy) last acquired after December 1, 1982 or an annuity contract (other than a life annuity contract, as defined by regulation, entered into before November 13, 1981 or a prescribed annuity contract) dies, the policyholder shall be deemed to have disposed of the policyholder’s interest in the policy or the contract, as the case may be, immediately before the death;
where, as a consequence of a death, a disposition of an interest in a life insurance policy is deemed to have occurred under paragraph 148(2)(b), the policyholder immediately after the death shall be deemed to have acquired the interest at a cost equal to the accumulating fund in respect thereof, as determined in prescribed manner, immediately after the death; and
where at any time a life insurance policy last acquired after December 1, 1982, or a life insurance policy to which subsection 12.2(9) of the Income Tax Act, chapter 148 of the Revised Statutes of Canada, 1952, applies by virtue of paragraph 12.2(9)(b) of that Act, ceases to be an exempt policy (otherwise than as a consequence of the death of an individual whose life is insured under the policy or at a time when that individual is totally and permanently disabled), the policyholder shall be deemed to have disposed of the policyholder’s interest in the policy at that time for proceeds of disposition equal to the accumulating fund with respect to the interest, as determined in prescribed manner, at that time and to have reacquired the interest immediately after that time at a cost equal to those proceeds.
For the purposes of this section, where all or any part of an insurer’s reserves for a life insurance policy vary in amount depending on the fair market value of a specified group of properties (in this subsection referred to as a “segregated fund”),
in computing the adjusted cost basis of the policy,
an amount paid by the policyholder or on the policyholder’s behalf as or on account of premiums under the policy or to acquire an interest in the policy shall, to the extent that the amount was used by the insurer to acquire property for the purposes of the segregated fund, be deemed not to have been so paid, and
any transfer of property by the insurer from the segregated fund that resulted in an increase in the portion of its reserves for the policy that do not vary with the fair market value of the segregated fund shall be deemed to have been a premium paid under the policy by the policyholder; and
the proceeds of the disposition of an interest in the policy shall be deemed not to include the portion thereof, if any, payable out of the segregated fund.
For the purpose of computing a taxpayer’s income from the disposition (other than a disposition deemed to have occurred under paragraph 148(2)(a) or a disposition described in paragraph (b) of the definition disposition in subsection 148(9)) of a part of the taxpayer’s interest in a life insurance policy (other than an annuity contract) last acquired after December 1, 1982 or an annuity contract, the adjusted cost basis to the taxpayer, immediately before the disposition, of the part is the proportion of the adjusted cost basis to the taxpayer of the taxpayer’s interest immediately before the disposition that
the accumulating fund with respect to the taxpayer’s interest, as determined in prescribed manner, immediately before the disposition.
the proceeds of the disposition
If a policyholder has after March 20, 2013 and before April 2014 disposed of an interest in a 10/8 policy because of a partial or complete surrender of the policy, the policyholder may deduct in computing their income for the taxation year in which the disposition occurs an amount that does not exceed the least of
the portion of an amount, included under subsection (1) in computing their income for the year in respect of the disposition, that is attributable to an investment account described in paragraph (b) of the definition 10/8 policy in subsection 248(1) in respect of the policy,
the total of all amounts each of which is an amount, to the extent that the amount has not otherwise been included in determining an amount under this paragraph, of a payment made after March 20, 2013 and before April 2014 that reduces the amount outstanding of a borrowing or policy loan, as the case may be, described in paragraph (a) of the definition 10/8 policy in subsection 248(1) in respect of the policy, and
the total of all amounts each of which is an amount, to the extent that the amount has not otherwise been included in determining an amount under this paragraph, that the policyholder is entitled to receive as a result of the disposition and that is paid after March 20, 2013 and before April 2014 out of an investment account described in paragraph (b) of the definition 10/8 policy in subsection 248(1) in respect of the policy.
Where, under the terms of a life insurance policy (other than an annuity contract) last acquired before December 2, 1982, a policyholder became entitled to receive from the insurer at any time before the death of the person whose life was insured thereunder, all the proceeds (other than policy dividends) payable at that time under the policy in the form of an annuity contract or annuity payments,
the payments shall be regarded as annuity payments made under an annuity contract;
the purchase price of the annuity contract shall be deemed to be the adjusted cost basis of the policy to the policyholder immediately before the first payment under that contract became payable; and
the annuity contract or annuity payments shall be deemed not to be proceeds of the disposition of an interest in the policy.
Where, otherwise than by virtue of a deemed disposition under paragraph 148(2)(b), an interest of a policyholder in a life insurance policy is disposed of by way of a gift (whether during the policyholder’s lifetime or by the policyholder’s will), by distribution from a corporation or by operation of law only to any person, or in any manner whatever to any person with whom the policyholder was not dealing at arm’s length, the policyholder shall be deemed thereupon to become entitled to receive proceeds of the disposition equal to the value of the interest at the time of the disposition, and the person who acquires the interest by virtue of the disposition shall be deemed to acquire it at a cost equal to that value.
Notwithstanding any other provision in this section, where
an interest of a policyholder in a life insurance policy (other than an annuity contract) has been transferred to the policyholder’s child for no consideration, and
a child of the policyholder or a child of the transferee is the person whose life is insured under the policy,
Notwithstanding any other provision of this section, where
an interest of a policyholder in a life insurance policy (other than a policy that is, or is issued under, a plan or contract referred to in any of paragraphs 148(1)(a) to 148(1)(e)) is transferred to
the policyholder’s spouse or common-law partner, or
a former spouse or common-law partner of the policyholder in settlement of rights arising out of their marriage or common-law partnership, and
[Repealed, 1994, c. 7, Sch. VIII, s. 87(3)]
both the policyholder and the transferee are resident in Canada at the time of the transfer,
Notwithstanding any other provision of this section, where, as a consequence of the death of a policyholder who was resident in Canada immediately before the policyholder’s death, an interest of the policyholder in a life insurance policy (other than a policy that is or is issued under a plan or contract referred to in any of paragraphs 148(1)(a) to 148(1)(e)) is transferred or distributed to the policyholder’s spouse or common-law partner who was resident in Canada immediately before the death, unless an election is made in the policyholder’s return of income under this Part for the taxation year in which the policyholder died to have this subsection not apply, the interest shall be deemed to have been disposed of by the policyholder immediately before the death for proceeds of the disposition equal to the adjusted cost basis to the policyholder of the interest immediately before the transfer and to have been acquired by the spouse or common-law partner at a cost equal to those proceeds.

The Minister may, by registered mail, give notice to a person that the registration of the person as a registered charity is annulled and deemed not to have been so registered, if the person was so registered by the Minister in error or the person has, solely as a result of a change in law, ceased to be a charity.
An official receipt referred to in Part XXXV of the Income Tax Regulations issued, by a person whose registration has been annulled under subsection (23), before that annulment is, if the receipt would have been valid were the person a registered charity at the time the receipt was issued, deemed to be a valid receipt under that Part.
The Minister may refuse to register a charity or Canadian amateur athletic association that has applied for registration as a registered charity or registered Canadian amateur athletic association if
the application for registration is made on its behalf by an ineligible individual; or
an ineligible individual is a director, trustee, officer or like official of the charity or association, or controls or manages the charity or association, directly or indirectly, in any manner whatever.
For the purposes of subparagraph (a)(v) of the definition qualified donee in subsection (1), the Minister may register, in consultation with the Minister of Finance, a foreign organization for a 24-month period that includes the time at which Her Majesty in right of Canada has made a gift to the foreign organization, if
the foreign organization is a charitable organization that is not resident in Canada; and
the Minister is satisfied that the foreign organization is
carrying on relief activities in response to a disaster,
providing urgent humanitarian aid, or
carrying on activities in the national interest of Canada.
In this section and section 149.1,
a person has, at any time, a material interest in respect of a class of shares of the capital stock of a corporation if, at that time,
the percentage of the shares of that class held by the person exceeds 0.5% of all the issued and outstanding shares of that class, or
the fair market value of the shares so held exceeds $100,000; and
a private foundation has, at any time, an insignificant interest in respect of a class of shares of the capital stock of a corporation if, at that time, the percentage of shares of that class held by the private foundation does not exceed 2% of all the issued and outstanding shares of that class.
If a private foundation or a relevant person in respect of the private foundation has engaged in one or more transactions or series of transactions or events, a purpose of which may reasonably be considered to be to avoid the application of the definition material transaction, each of those transactions or series of transactions or events is deemed to be a material transaction.
For the purposes of the definition equity percentage, and subparagraph (b)(iii) of the definition exempt shares, in subsection 149.1(1), a person who, if paragraph 251(5)(b) applied would be deemed by that paragraph to have the same position in relation to the control of a corporation as if the person owned a share, is deemed to own the share.
The net increase in the excess corporate holdings percentage of a private foundation for a taxation year, in respect of a class of shares of the capital stock of a corporation, is the number of percentage points, if any, determined by the formula A - B where A is the excess corporate holdings percentage of the private foundation at the end of the taxation year, in respect of the class, and B is 0%, if at the beginning of the taxation year the private foundation was not both a private foundation and a registered charity, or the private foundation was both a registered charity and a private foundation on March 18, 2007 and the taxation year is the first taxation year of the private foundation that begins after that date; and in any other case, the excess corporate holdings percentage of the private foundation in respect of the class at the end of its preceding taxation year.
The net decrease in the excess corporate holdings percentage of a private foundation for a taxation year, in respect of a class of shares of the capital stock of a corporation, is the number of percentage points, if any, by which the percentage determined for B in the formula in subsection (3) for the taxation year exceeds the percentage determined for A in that formula for the taxation year.
For the purpose of the description of B in the definition divestment obligation percent-age in subsection 149.1(1), the net increase in the excess corporate holdings percentage of a private foundation in respect of a class of shares of the capital stock of a corporation, for a taxation year (in this subsection referred to as the “current year”) is to be allocated in the following order:
first to the divestment obligation percent-age of the private foundation in respect of that class for the current year, to the extent that the private foundation has in the current year acquired for consideration shares of that class;
then to the divestment obligation percent-age of the private foundation in respect of that class for its fifth subsequent taxation year, to the extent of the lesser of
that portion of the net increase in the excess corporate holdings percentage of the private foundation in respect of that class for the current year that is not allocated under paragraph (a), and
the percentage of the issued and outstanding shares of that class that were acquired by the private foundation in the current year by way of bequest;
then to the divestment obligation percent-age of the private foundation in respect of that class for its second subsequent taxation year, to the extent of the lesser of
that portion of the net increase in the excess corporate holdings percentage of the private foundation in respect of that class for the current year that is not allocated under paragraph (a) or (b), and
the total of
the percentage of the issued and outstanding shares of that class that were acquired by the private foundation in the current year by way of gift, other than from a relevant person or by way of bequest, and
the portion of the net increase in the excess corporate holdings percentage of the private foundation that is attributable to the redemption, acquisition or cancellation of any of the issued and outstanding shares of that class in the current year by the corporation; and
then to the divestment obligation percent-age of the private foundation in respect of that class for its subsequent taxation year, to the extent of that portion of the net increase in the excess corporate holdings percentage of the private foundation in respect of that class for the current year that is not allocated under paragraph (a), (b) or (c).
Notwithstanding subsection (5), on application by a private foundation, the Minister may, if the Minister believes it would be just and equitable to do so, reallocate any portion of the net increase in the excess corporate holdings percentage of the private foundation in respect of a class of shares of the capital stock of a corporation for a taxation year, that would otherwise be allocated under subsection (5) to the private foundation’s divestment obligation percentage in respect of that class for a particular taxation year, to the private foundation’s divestment obligation percentage in respect of that class for any of the ten taxation years subsequent to the particular taxation year.
For the purpose of the description of C in the definition divestment obligation percent-age in subsection 149.1(1), the net decrease in the excess corporate holdings percentage of a private foundation in respect of a class of shares of the capital stock of a corporation for a taxation year (in this subsection referred to as the “current year”) is to be allocated in the following order:
first, to the divestment obligation percentage of the private foundation in respect of that class for the current year, to the extent of that divestment obligation percentage; and
then to the divestment obligation percent-age of the private foundation in respect of that class for a subsequent taxation year of the private foundation (referred to in this paragraph as the “subject year”), to the extent of the lesser of
that portion of the net decrease in the excess corporate holdings percentage of the private foundation in respect of that class for the current year that is not allocated under paragraph (a), or under this paragraph, to the divestment obligation percentage of the private foundation in respect of that class for a taxation year of the private foundation that precedes the subject year, and
the amount of the divestment obligation percentage of the private foundation in respect of that class for the subject year, calculated as at the end of the current year and without reference to this subsection.
If the original corporate holdings percent-age of a private foundation in respect of a class of shares of the capital stock of a corporation exceeds 20%, for the purpose of applying the definition “excess corporate holdings percent-age” in subsection 149.1(1) to
the first taxation year of the private foundation that begins after March 18, 2007, the reference to 20% in that definition in respect of that class is to be read as the original corporate holdings percentage of the private foundation in respect of that class;
taxation years of the private foundation that are after the taxation year referred to in paragraph (a) and that begin before March 19, 2012, the reference to 20% in that definition in respect of that class is to be read as the greater of
20%, and
the lesser of
the total corporate holdings percent-age of the private foundation in respect of the class at the end of the immediately preceding taxation year, and
the original corporate holdings percentage in respect of that class;
taxation years of the private foundation that begin after March 18, 2012 and before March 19, 2017, the reference to 20% in that definition in respect of that class is to be read as the greater of
20%, and
the lesser of
the total corporate holdings percentage of the private foundation in respect of the class at the end of the preceding taxation year, and
the number of percentage points, if any, by which the private foundation’s original corporate holdings percentage in respect of that class exceeds 20%;
taxation years of the private foundation that begin after March 18, 2017 and before March 19, 2022, the reference to 20% in that definition in respect of that class is to be read as the greater of
20%, and
the lesser of
the total corporate holdings percent-age of the private foundation in respect of the class at the end of the preceding taxation year, and
the number of percentage points, if any, by which the private foundation’s original corporate holdings percentage in respect of that class exceeds 40%; and
taxation years of the private foundation that begin after March 18, 2022 and before March 19, 2027, the reference to 20% in that definition in respect of that class is to be read as the greater of
20%, and
the lesser of
the total corporate holdings percentage of the private foundation in respect of the class at the end of the preceding taxation year, and
the number of percentage points, if any, by which the private foundation’s original corporate holdings percentage in respect of that class exceeds 60%.
Subsection (10) applies for the purposes of applying section 149.1 and subsections (8) and 188.1(3.1) to a private foundation at a particular time if, both on March 18, 2007 and at the particular time,
the private foundation was the sole trustee of a trust, or was a majority interest beneficiary (within the meaning assigned by section 251.1) of a trust more than 50% of the trustees of which were the private foundation and one or more relevant persons in respect of the private foundation; and
the trust held one or more shares of a class of the capital stock of a corporation.
If this subsection applies at a particular time to a private foundation in respect of shares of a class of the capital stock of a corporation held by a trust, the private foundation is deemed to hold at the particular time that number of those shares as is determined by the formula A × B/C where A is the lesser of the number of those shares held by the trust on March 18, 2007 and the number so held at the particular time; B is the total fair market value of all interests held by the private foundation in the trust at the particular time; and C is the total fair market value of all property held by the trust at the particular time.
For the purpose of subsection (10), if the amount of income or capital of a trust that a person may receive as a beneficiary under the trust depends on the exercise by any person of, or the failure by any person to exercise, a discretionary power, that person is deemed to have fully exercised, or to have failed to exercise, the power, as the case may be.
Subject to subsection (1.1), a return of income that is in prescribed form and that contains prescribed information shall be filed with the Minister, without notice or demand for the return, for each taxation year of a taxpayer,
in the case of a corporation, by or on behalf of the corporation within six months after the end of the year if
at any time in the year the corporation
is resident in Canada,
carries on business in Canada, unless the corporation’s only revenue from carrying on business in Canada in the year consists of amounts in respect of which tax was payable by the corporation under subsection 212(5.1),
has a taxable capital gain (otherwise than from an excluded disposition), or
disposes of a taxable Canadian property (otherwise than in an excluded disposition), or
tax under this Part
is payable by the corporation for the year, or
would be, but for a tax treaty, payable by the corporation for the year (otherwise than in respect of a disposition of taxable Canadian property that is treaty-protected property of the corporation);
in the case of an individual who dies after October of the year and on or before the day that would be the individual’s filing due date for the year if the individual had not died, by the individual’s legal representatives on or before the day that is the later of the day on or before which the return would otherwise be required to be filed and the day that is 6 months after the day of death;
in the case of an estate or trust, within 90 days from the end of the year;
in the case of any other person, on or before
the following April 30 by that person or, if the person is unable for any reason to file the return, by the person’s guardian, committee or other legal representative (in this paragraph referred to as the person’s “guardian”),
the following June 15 by that person or, if the person is unable for any reason to file the return, by the person’s guardian where the person is
an individual who carried on a business in the year, unless the expenditures made in the course of carrying on the business were primarily the cost or capital cost of tax shelter investments (as defined in subsection 143.2(1)), or
at any time in the year a cohabiting spouse or common-law partner (within the meaning assigned by section 122.6) of an individual to whom clause 150(1)(d)(ii)(A) applies, or
where at any time in the year the person is a cohabiting spouse or common-law partner (within the meaning assigned by section 122.6) of an individual to whom paragraph 150(1)(b) applies for the year, on or before the day that is the later of the day on or before which the person’s return would otherwise be required to be filed and the day that is 6 months after the day of the individual’s death; or
in a case where no person described by paragraph 150(1)(a), 150(1)(b) or 150(1)(d) has filed the return, by such person as is required by notice in writing from the Minister to file the return, within such reasonable time as the notice specifies.
Subsection (1) does not apply to a taxation year of a taxpayer if
the taxpayer is a corporation that was a registered charity throughout the year; or
the taxpayer is an individual unless
tax is payable under this Part by the individual for the year,
where the individual is resident in Canada at any time in the year, the individual has a taxable capital gain or disposes of capital property in the year,
where the individual is non-resident throughout the year, the individual has a taxable capital gain (otherwise than from an excluded disposition) or disposes of a taxable Canadian property (otherwise than in an excluded disposition) in the year, or
at the end of the year the individual’s HBP balance or LLP balance (as defined in subsection 146.01(1) or 146.02(1)) is a positive amount.
Every person, whether or not the person is liable to pay tax under this Part for a taxation year and whether or not a return has been filed under subsection (1) or (3), shall, on demand sent by the Minister, file, within such reasonable time stipulated in the demand, with the Minister in prescribed form and containing prescribed information a return of the income for the taxation year designated in the demand.
Every trustee in bankruptcy, assignee, liquidator, curator, receiver, trustee or committee and every agent or other person administering, managing, winding up, controlling or otherwise dealing with the property, business, estate or income of a person who has not filed a return for a taxation year as required by this section shall file a return in prescribed form of that person’s income for that year.
Where
subsection 34.1(9) or 34.2(8) applies in computing an individual’s income for a taxation year from a business, or
an individual who carries on a business in a taxation year dies in the year and after the end of a fiscal period of the business that ends in the year, another fiscal period of the business (in this subsection referred to as the “short period”) ends in the year because of the individual’s death, and the individual’s legal representative elects that this subsection apply,
the individual’s income from businesses for short periods, if any, shall not be included in computing the individual’s income for the year and the individual’s legal representative shall file an additional return of income for the year in respect of the individual as if the return were filed in respect of another person and shall pay the tax payable under this Part by that other person for the year computed as if
the other person’s only income for the year were the amount determined by the formula A + B - C where A is the total of all amounts each of which is the individual’s income from a business for a short fiscal period, B is the total of all amounts each of which is an amount deducted under subsection 34.2(8) in computing the individual’s income for the taxation year in which the individual dies, and C is the total of all amounts each of which is an amount included under subsection 34.1(9) in computing the individual’s income for the taxation year in which the individual dies, and
subject to sections 114.2 and 118.93, that other person were entitled to the deductions to which the individual is entitled under sections 110, 118 to 118.7 and 118.9 for the year in computing the individual’s taxable income or tax payable under this Part, as the case may be, for the year.
For the purposes of this section, a disposition of a property by a taxpayer at any time in a taxation year is an excluded disposition if
the taxpayer is non-resident at that time;
no tax is payable under this Part by the taxpayer for the taxation year;
the taxpayer is, at that time, not liable to pay any amount under this Act in respect of any previous taxation year (other than an amount for which the Minister has accepted, and holds, adequate security under section 116 or 220); and
each taxable Canadian property disposed of by the taxpayer in the taxation year is
excluded property within the meaning assigned by subsection 116(6), or
a property in respect of the disposition of which the Minister has issued to the taxpayer a certificate under subsection 116(2), (4) or (5.2).
For the purposes of this section, electronic filing means using electronic media in a manner specified in writing by the Minister.
A person who meets the criteria specified in writing by the Minister may file a return of income for a taxation year by way of electronic filing.
If a corporation is, in respect of a taxation year, a prescribed corporation, the corporation shall file its return of income for the taxation year by way of electronic filing.
In this section and subsection 162(7.3), tax preparer, for a calendar year, means a person or partnership who, in the year, accepts consideration to prepare more than 10 returns of income of corporations or more than 10 returns of income of individuals (other than trusts), but does not include an employee who prepares returns of income in the course of performing their duties of employment.
A tax preparer shall file any return of income prepared by the tax preparer for consideration by way of electronic filing, except that 10 of the returns of corporations and 10 of the returns of individuals may be filed other than by way of electronic filing.
Subsection (2.3) does not apply to a tax preparer for a calendar year in respect of a return of income
of a type for which the tax preparer has applied to the Minister for authority to file by way of electronic filing for the year and for which that authority has not been granted because the tax preparer does not meet the criteria referred to in subsection (2);
of a corporation described in any of paragraphs 205.1(2)(a) to (c) of the Income Tax Regulations; or
of a type that the Minister does not accept by way of electronic filing.
For the purposes of section 150, where a return of income of a taxpayer for a taxation year is filed by way of electronic filing, it shall be deemed to be a return of income filed with the Minister in prescribed form on the day the Minister acknowledges acceptance of it.
Where a return of income of a taxpayer for a taxation year is filed by way of electronic filing by a particular person (in this subsection referred to as the “filer”) other than the person who is required to file the return, the person who is required to file the return shall make an information return in prescribed form containing prescribed information, sign it, retain a copy of it and provide the filer with the information return, and that return and the copy shall be deemed to be a record referred to in section 230 in respect of the filer and the other person.
This section also applies to Parts I.2 to XIII, with such modifications as the circumstances require.
Every person required by section 150 to file a return of income shall in the return estimate the amount of tax payable.
The Minister shall, with all due dispatch, examine a taxpayer’s return of income for a taxation year, assess the tax for the year, the interest and penalties, if any, payable and determine
the amount of refund, if any, to which the taxpayer may be entitled by virtue of section 129, 131, 132 or 133 for the year; or
the amount of tax, if any, deemed by subsection 120(2) or (2.2), 122.5(3), 122.51(2), 122.7(2) or (3), 125.4(3), 125.5(3), 127.1(1), 127.41(3) or 210.2(3) or (4) to be paid on account of the taxpayer’s tax payable under this Part for the year.
The Minister shall, if an individual requests by prescribed form, determine with all due dispatch whether an amount is deductible, or would if this Act were read without reference to paragraph 118.3(1)(c) be deductible, under section 118.3 in computing the individual’s tax payable under this Part for a taxation year and send a notice of the determination to the individual.
Where the Minister ascertains the amount of a taxpayer’s non-capital loss, net capital loss, restricted farm loss, farm loss or limited partnership loss for a taxation year and the taxpayer has not reported that amount as such a loss in the taxpayer’s return of income for that year, the Minister shall, at the request of the taxpayer, determine, with all due dispatch, the amount of the loss and shall send a notice of determination to the person by whom the return was filed.
Where at any time the Minister ascertains the tax consequences to a taxpayer by reason of subsection 245(2) with respect to a transaction, the Minister
shall, in the case of a determination pursuant to subsection 245(8), or
may, in any other case,
The definitions in subsection 245(1) apply to subsection 152(1.11).
A determination of an amount shall not be made with respect to a taxpayer under subsection 152(1.11) at a time where that amount is relevant only for the purposes of computing the income, taxable income or taxable income earned in Canada of, tax or other amount payable by, or amount refundable to, the taxpayer under this Act for a taxation year ending before that time.
Paragraphs 56(1)(l) and 60(o), this Division and Division J, as they relate to an assessment or a reassessment and to assessing or reassessing tax, apply, with any modifications that the circumstances require, to a determination or redetermination under subsection (1.01) and to a determination or redetermination of an amount under this Division or an amount deemed under section 122.61 to be an overpayment on account of a taxpayer’s liability under this Part, except that
subsections (1) and (2) do not apply to determinations made under subsections (1.01), (1.1) and (1.11);
an original determination of a taxpayer’s non-capital loss, net capital loss, restricted farm loss, farm loss or limited partnership loss for a taxation year may be made by the Minister only at the request of the taxpayer; and
subsection 164(4.1) does not apply to a determination made under subsection 152(1.4).
For greater certainty, where the Minister makes a determination of the amount of a taxpayer’s non-capital loss, net capital loss, restricted farm loss, farm loss or limited partnership loss for a taxation year or makes a determination under subsection 152(1.11) with respect to a taxpayer, the determination is (subject to the taxpayer’s rights of objection and appeal in respect of the determination and to any redetermination by the Minister) binding on both the Minister and the taxpayer for the purpose of calculating the income, taxable income or taxable income earned in Canada of, tax or other amount payable by, or amount refundable to, the taxpayer, as the case may be, for any taxation year.
The Minister may, within 3 years after the day that is the later of
the day on or before which a member of a partnership is, or but for subsection 220(2.1) would be, required under section 229 of the Income Tax Regulations to make an information return for a fiscal period of the partnership, and
the day the return is filed,
Where a determination is made under subsection 152(1.4) in respect of a partnership for a fiscal period, the Minister shall send a notice of the determination to the partnership and to each person who was a member of the partnership during the fiscal period.
No determination made under subsection 152(1.4) in respect of a partnership for a fiscal period is invalid solely because one or more persons who were members of the partnership during the period did not receive a notice of the determination.
Where the Minister makes a determination under subsection 152(1.4) or a redetermination in respect of a partnership,
subject to the rights of objection and appeal of the member of the partnership referred to in subsection 165(1.15) in respect of the determination or redetermination, the determination or redetermination is binding on the Minister and each member of the partnership for the purposes of calculating the income, taxable income or taxable income earned in Canada of, tax or other amount payable by, or any amount refundable to or deemed to have been paid or to have been an overpayment by, the members for any taxation year under this Part; and
notwithstanding subsections 152(4), 152(4.01), 152(4.1) and 152(5), the Minister may, before the end of the day that is one year after the day on which all rights of objection and appeal expire or are determined in respect of the determination or redetermination, assess the tax, interest, penalties or other amounts payable and determine an amount deemed to have been paid or to have been an overpayment under this Part in respect of any member of the partnership and any other taxpayer for any taxation year as may be necessary to give effect to the determination or redetermination or a decision of the Tax Court of Canada, the Federal Court of Appeal or the Supreme Court of Canada.
Where, as a result of representations made to the Minister that a person was a member of a partnership in respect of a fiscal period, a determination is made under subsection 152(1.4) for the period and the Minister, the Tax Court of Canada, the Federal Court of Appeal or the Supreme Court of Canada concludes at a subsequent time that the partnership did not exist for the period or that, throughout the period, the person was not a member of the partnership, the Minister may, notwithstanding subsections 152(4), 152(4.1) and 152(5), within one year after that subsequent time, assess the tax, interest, penalties or other amounts payable, or determine an amount deemed to have been paid or to have been an overpayment under this Part, by any taxpayer for any taxation year, but only to the extent that the assessment or determination can reasonably be regarded
as relating to any matter that was relevant in the making of the determination made under subsection 152(1.4);
as resulting from the conclusion that the partnership did not exist for the period; or
as resulting from the conclusion that the person was, throughout the period, not a member of the partnership.
A waiver in respect of the period during which the Minister may make a determination under subsection (1.4) in respect of a partnership for a fiscal period may be made by one member of the partnership if that member is
designated for that purpose in the information return made under section 229 of the Income Tax Regulations for the fiscal period; or
otherwise expressly authorized by the partnership to so act.
After examination of a return, the Minister shall send a notice of assessment to the person by whom the return was filed.
Liability for the tax under this Part is not affected by an incorrect or incomplete assessment or by the fact that no assessment has been made.
For the purposes of subsections (4), (4.01), (4.2), (4.3), (5) and (9), the normal reassessment period for a taxpayer in respect of a taxation year is
if at the end of the year the taxpayer is a mutual fund trust or a corporation other than a Canadian-controlled private corporation, the period that ends four years after the earlier of the day of sending of a notice of an original assessment under this Part in respect of the taxpayer for the year and the day of sending of an original notification that no tax is payable by the taxpayer for the year; and
in any other case, the period that ends three years after the earlier of the day of sending of a notice of an original assessment under this Part in respect of the taxpayer for the year and the day of sending of an original notification that no tax is payable by the taxpayer for the year.
A taxpayer may, during any month, request in writing that the Minister determine the amount deemed by subsection 122.61(1) to be an overpayment on account of the taxpayer’s liability under this Part for a taxation year that arose during the month or any of the 11 preceding months.
On receipt of the request referred to in subsection 152(3.2), the Minister shall, with all due dispatch, determine the amounts deemed by subsection 122.61(1) to be overpayments on account of the taxpayer’s liability under this Part that arose during the months in respect of which the request was made or determine that there is no such amount, and shall send a notice of the determination to the taxpayer.
[Repealed, 2013, c. 34, s. 309]
The Minister may at any time make an assessment, reassessment or additional assessment of tax for a taxation year, interest or penalties, if any, payable under this Part by a taxpayer or notify in writing any person by whom a return of income for a taxation year has been filed that no tax is payable for the year, except that an assessment, reassessment or additional assessment may be made after the taxpayer’s normal reassessment period in respect of the year only if
the taxpayer or person filing the return

If the Minister would, but for this subsection, be entitled to reassess, make an additional assessment or assess tax, interest or penalties by virtue only of the filing of a waiver under subparagraph (4)(a)(ii) or paragraph (4)(c) or (c.1), the Minister may not make such a reassessment, additional assessment or assessment after the day that is six months after the date on which a notice of revocation of the waiver in prescribed form is filed.
Notwithstanding subsections (4), (4.1) and (5), for the purpose of determining, at any time after the end of the normal reassessment period of a taxpayer who is an individual (other than a trust) or a testamentary trust in respect of a taxation year, the amount of any refund to which the taxpayer is entitled at that time for the year, or a reduction of an amount payable under this Part by the taxpayer for the year, the Minister may, if the taxpayer makes an application for that determination on or before the day that is ten calendar years after the end of that taxation year,

If
a taxpayer has filed for a particular taxation year the return of income required by section 150,
the amount included in computing the taxpayer’s income for the particular year under subsection 91(1) is subsequently reduced because of a reduction in the foreign accrual property income of a foreign affiliate of the taxpayer for a taxation year (referred to in this paragraph as the “claim year”) of the affiliate that ends in the particular year, if
the reduction is
attributable to a foreign accrual property loss (within the meaning assigned by subsection 5903(3) of the Income Tax Regulations) of the affiliate for a taxation year of the affiliate that ends in a subsequent taxation year of the taxpayer, and
included in the description of F in the definition foreign accrual property income in subsection 95(1) in respect of the affiliate for the claim year, or
the reduction is
attributable to a foreign accrual capital loss (within the meaning assigned by subsection 5903.1(3) of the Income Tax Regulations) of the affiliate for a taxation year of the affiliate that ends in a subsequent taxation year of the taxpayer, and
included in the description of F.1 in the definition foreign accrual property income in subsection 95(1) in respect of the affiliate for the claim year, and
the taxpayer has filed with the Minister, on or before the filing-due date for that subsequent taxation year, a prescribed form amending the return,
The Minister shall reassess a taxpayer’s tax for a particular taxation year, in order to take into account the application of paragraph (d) of the definition excluded property in subsection 142.2(1), or the application of subsection 142.6(1.6), in respect of property held by the taxpayer, if
the taxpayer has filed for the particular taxation year the return of income required by section 150; and

if the filing is in respect of paragraph (d) of that definition excluded property, includes the acquisition of control time referred to in that paragraph, and
if the filing is in respect of subsection 142.6(1.6), immediately follows the particular taxation year.
If a taxpayer has filed for a particular taxation year the return of income required by section 150 and an amount is subsequently claimed by the taxpayer, or on the taxpayer’s behalf, for the particular year as a deduction under section 119 in respect of a disposition in a subsequent taxation year, and the taxpayer files with the Minister a prescribed form amending the return on or before the filing-due date of the taxpayer for the subsequent taxation year, the Minister shall reassess the taxpayer’s tax for any relevant taxation year (other than a taxation year preceding the particular taxation year) in order to take into account the deduction claimed.
The Minister is not bound by a return or information supplied by or on behalf of a taxpayer and, in making an assessment, may, notwithstanding a return or information so supplied or if no return has been filed, assess the tax payable under this Part.
An assessment shall, subject to being varied or vacated on an objection or appeal under this Part and subject to a reassessment, be deemed to be valid and binding notwithstanding any error, defect or omission in the assessment or in any proceeding under this Act relating thereto.
The Minister may advance an alternative argument in support of an assessment at any time after the normal reassessment period unless, on an appeal under this Act
there is relevant evidence that the taxpayer is no longer able to adduce without the leave of the court; and
it is not appropriate in the circumstances for the court to order that the evidence be adduced.
Notwithstanding any other provision of this section, an amount of tax for which adequate security is accepted by the Minister under subsection 220(4.5) or (4.6) is, until the end of the period during which the security is accepted by the Minister, deemed for the purpose of any agreement entered into by or on behalf of the Government of Canada under section 7 of the Federal-Provincial Fiscal Arrangements Act not to have been assessed under this Act.

the amount obtained when the estimated tax payable by the corporation, if any, under Parts VI and XIII.1 for the taxation year is divided by the number of months that end in the taxation year and after the particular time; and
the remainder of the taxes payable by it under this Part and Parts VI, VI.1 and XIII.1 for the taxation year on or before its balance-due day for the year.
Subsections (1), (2.1) and (4) apply to a SIFT trust with any modifications that the circumstances require.
A corporation may, instead of paying the instalments required for a taxation year by paragraph (1)(a) or by subsection (1.1), pay to the Receiver General, under paragraph (1)(b), the total of the taxes payable by it under this Part and Parts VI, VI.1 and XIII.1 for the taxation year, if
the total of the taxes payable under this Part and Parts VI, VI.1 and XIII.1 by the corporation for the taxation year (determined before taking into consideration the specified future tax consequences for the year) is equal to or less than $3,000; or
the corporation’s first instalment base for the year is equal to or less than $3,000.
Notwithstanding subsection (1) and (1.5), the amount payable under subsection (1) or (1.5) for a taxation year by a corporation to the Receiver General on or before the last day of any month in the year is deemed to be the amount, if any, by which
the amount so payable as determined under that subsection for the month
exceeds
where the corporation is neither a mutual fund corporation nor a non-resident-owned investment corporation, 1/12 of the corporation’s dividend refund (within the meaning assigned by subsection 129(1)) for the year,
if the corporation is a mutual fund corporation, 1/12 of the total of
the corporation’s capital gains refund (within the meaning assigned by section 131) for the year, and
the amount that, because of subsection 131(5) or (11), is the corporation’s dividend refund (within the meaning assigned by section 129) for the year,
where the corporation is a non-resident-owned investment corporation, 1/12 of the corporation’s allowable refund (within the meaning assigned by section 133) for the year, and
1/12 of the total of the amounts each of which is deemed by subsection 125.4(3), 125.5(3), 127.1(1) or 127.41(3) to have been paid on account of the corporation’s tax payable under this Part for the year.
Notwithstanding subsection (1.1), the amount payable under subsection (1.1) for a taxation year by a corporation to the Receiver General on or before the last day of any period in the year is deemed to be the amount, if any, by which
the amount so payable as determined under that subsection for the period
exceeds the total of
1/4 of the corporation’s dividend refund (within the meaning assigned by subsection 129(1)) for the taxation year, and
1/4 of the total of the amounts each of which is deemed by subsection 125.4(3), 125.5(3), 127.1(1) or 127.41(3) to have been paid on account of the corporation’s tax payable under this Part for the taxation year.
In this section, first instalment base and second instalment base of a corporation for a taxation year have the meanings prescribed by regulation.
The following definitions apply in this section.
eligible corporation, for a particular taxation year, means a corporation
that is resident in Canada throughout the particular taxation year; and
of which the taxable capital employed in Canada, within the meaning assigned by Part I.3, for its preceding taxation year did not exceed,
if the corporation is not associated with any other corporation in the particular taxation year, $15 million, and
if the corporation is associated with one or more other corporations in the particular taxation year, the amount by which $15 million exceeds the total of the taxable capital employed in Canada, within the meaning assigned by Part I.3, of those other corporations for their last taxation years that ended in the last calendar year that ended before the end of the particular taxation year. (société admissible)
eligible instalment day of an eligible corporation means a day in January, February or March, 2002, on which an instalment on account of the corporation’s tax payable under this Part for the taxation year that includes that day would become payable
if this Act were read without reference to this section; and
if, in the case of a corporation that is not required by section 157 to make instalment payments on account of its tax payable under this Part for the taxation year, it were so required. (jour admissible)
An eligible corporation’s balance-due day for a taxation year that ends after 2001 is deemed to be the later of
the day that would otherwise be the corporation’s balance-due day for the taxation year, and
the day that is six months after the corporation’s last eligible instalment day in the taxation year.
An amount that would, because of paragraph 157(1)(a), otherwise become payable in respect of a taxation year by an eligible corporation on an eligible instalment day of the corporation does not become payable on that day but becomes payable
if the particular day that is six months after the eligible instalment day is in the taxation year, on the particular day; and
in any other case, on the day that is deemed by subsection (2) to be the corporation’s balance-due day for the taxation year.
Where the Minister mails a notice of assessment of any amount payable by a taxpayer, that part of the amount assessed then remaining unpaid is payable forthwith by the taxpayer to the Receiver General.
For the purposes of this Act, where a person is a legal representative of a taxpayer at any time,
the legal representative is jointly and severally, or solidarily, liable with the taxpayer
to pay each amount payable under this Act by the taxpayer at or before that time and that remains unpaid, to the extent that the legal representative is at that time in possession or control, in the capacity of legal representative, of property that belongs or belonged to, or that is or was held for the benefit of, the taxpayer or the taxpayer’s estate, and
to perform any obligation or duty imposed under this Act on the taxpayer at or before that time and that remains outstanding, to the extent that the obligation or duty can reasonably be considered to relate to the responsibilities of the legal representative acting in that capacity; and
any action or proceeding in respect of the taxpayer taken under this Act at or after that time by the Minister may be so taken in the name of the legal representative acting in that capacity and, when so taken, has the same effect as if it had been taken directly against the taxpayer and, if the taxpayer no longer exists, as if the taxpayer continued to exist.
Every legal representative (other than a trustee in bankruptcy) of a taxpayer shall, before distributing to one or more persons any property in the possession or control of the legal representative acting in that capacity, obtain a certificate from the Minister, by applying for one in prescribed form, certifying that all amounts
for which the taxpayer is or can reasonably be expected to become liable under this Act at or before the time the distribution is made, and
for the payment of which the legal representative is or can reasonably be expected to become liable in that capacity
have been paid or that security for the payment thereof has been accepted by the Minister.
If a legal representative (other than a trustee in bankruptcy) of a taxpayer distributes to one or more persons property in the possession or control of the legal representative, acting in that capacity, without obtaining a certificate under subsection (2) in respect of the amounts referred to in that subsection,
the legal representative is personally liable for the payment of those amounts to the extent of the value of the property distributed;
the Minister may at any time assess the legal representative in respect of any amount payable because of this subsection; and
the provisions of this Division (including, for greater certainty, the provisions in respect of interest payable) apply, with any modifications that the circumstances require, to an assessment made under this subsection as though it had been made under section 152 in respect of taxes payable under this Part.
For the purposes of subsections 159(2) and 159(3), an appropriation by a legal representative of a taxpayer of property in the possession or control of the legal representative acting in that capacity is deemed to be a distribution of the property to a person.

the transferee and transferor are jointly and severally, or solidarily, liable to pay under this Act an amount equal to the lesser of
the amount, if any, by which the fair market value of the property at the time it was transferred exceeds the fair market value at that time of the consideration given for the property, and
the total of all amounts each of which is an amount that the transferor is liable to pay under this Act (including, for greater certainty, an amount that the transferor is liable to pay under this section, regardless of whether the Minister has made an assessment under subsection (2) for that amount) in or in respect of the taxation year in which the property was transferred or any preceding taxation year,
If a particular person or partnership is deemed by subsection 69(11) to have disposed of a property at any time, the person referred to in that subsection to whom a benefit described in that subsection was available in respect of a subsequent disposition of the property or property substituted for the property is jointly and severally, or solidarily, liable with each other taxpayer to pay a part of the other taxpayer’s liabilities under this Act in respect of each taxation year equal to the amount determined by the formula A - B where A is the total of amounts payable under this Act by the other taxpayer in respect of the year, and B is the amount that would, if the particular person or partnership were not deemed by subsection 69(11) to have disposed of the property, be determined for A in respect of the other taxpayer in respect of the year,

If a particular taxpayer has become jointly and severally, or solidarily, liable with another taxpayer under this section or because of paragraph 94(3)(d) or (e) or subsection 94(17) in respect of part or all of a liability under this Act of the other taxpayer,
a payment by the particular taxpayer on account of that taxpayer’s liability shall to the extent of the payment discharge their liability; but
a payment by the other taxpayer on account of that taxpayer’s liability discharges the particular taxpayer’s liability only to the extent that the payment operates to reduce that other taxpayer’s liability to an amount less than the amount in respect of which the particular taxpayer is, by this section, made jointly and severally, or solidarily, liable.
For the purposes of this section and section 160.4, the fair market value at any time of an undivided interest, or for civil law an undivided right, in a property, expressed as a proportionate interest or right in that property, is, subject to subsection (4), deemed to be equal to the same proportion of the fair market value of that property at that time.
Notwithstanding subsection 160(1), where at any time a taxpayer has transferred property to the taxpayer’s spouse or common-law partner pursuant to a decree, order or judgment of a competent tribunal or pursuant to a written separation agreement and, at that time, the taxpayer and the spouse or common-law partner were separated and living apart as a result of the breakdown of their marriage or common-law partnership, the following rules apply:

the taxpayer shall pay to the Receiver General interest at the prescribed rate on the excess (other than any portion thereof that can reasonably be considered to arise as a consequence of the operation of section 122.5 or 122.61) from the day it became payable to the date of payment.

the liability of the taxpayer referred to in that subsection under any other provision of this Act; nor
the liability of an annuitant or policyholder referred to in that subsection for the interest that the annuitant or policyholder is liable to pay under this Act on an assessment in respect of the amount that the annuitant or policyholder is liable to pay because of that subsection.

a payment by the holder on account of the holder’s liability shall to the extent of the payment discharge the holder’s liability, but
a payment by the taxpayer on account of the taxpayer’s liability only discharges the holder’s liability to the extent that the payment operates to reduce the taxpayer’s liability to an amount less than the amount in respect of which the holder was, by subsection (1), made liable.
The Minister may at any time assess a taxpayer in respect of any amount payable because of this section, and the provisions of this Division (including, for greater certainty, the provisions in respect of interest payable) apply, with any modifications that the circumstances require, in respect of an assessment made under this section as though it had been made under section 152 in respect of taxes payable under this Part.
If an amount required to be included in the income of a taxpayer because of paragraph 56(1)(x) is received by a person with whom the taxpayer is not dealing at arm’s length, that person is jointly and severally, or solidarily, liable with the taxpayer to pay a part of the taxpayer’s tax under this Part for the taxation year in which the amount is received equal to the amount by which the taxpayer’s tax for the year exceeds the amount that would be the taxpayer’s tax for the year if the amount had not been received, but nothing in this subsection limits the liability of the taxpayer under any other provision of this Act or of the person for the interest that the person is liable to pay under this Act on an assessment in respect of the amount that the person is liable to pay because of this subsection.
The Minister may at any time assess a person in respect of any amount payable because of this section, and the provisions of this Division (including, for greater certainty, the provisions in respect of interest payable) apply, with any modifications that the circumstances require, in respect of an assessment made under this section as though it had been made under section 152 in respect of taxes payable under this Part.

a payment by the other person on account of the other person’s liability shall to the extent thereof discharge their liability; but
a payment by the taxpayer on account of the taxpayer’s liability discharges the other person’s liability only to the extent that the payment operates to reduce the taxpayer’s liability to an amount less than the amount in respect of which the other person was, by subsection (1), made jointly and severally, or solidarily, liable.

Where
property is transferred at any time from a taxpayer (in this subsection referred to as the “transferor”) to another taxpayer (in this subsection referred to as the “transferee”) with whom the transferor does not deal at arm’s length,
the transferor is liable because of subsection 160.4(1) or this subsection to pay an amount of the tax of another person (in this subsection referred to as the “debtor”) under this Part, and
it can reasonably be considered that one of the reasons of the transfer would, but for this subsection, be to prevent the enforcement of this section,
the transferee is jointly and severally, or solidarily, liable with the transferor and the debtor to pay an amount of the debtor’s tax under this Part equal to the lesser of the amount of that tax that the transferor was liable to pay at that time and the amount, if any, by which the fair market value of the property at that time exceeds the fair market value at that time of the consideration given for the property, but nothing in this subsection limits the liability of the debtor or the transferor under any provision of this Act or of the transferee for the interest that the transferee is liable to pay under this Act on an assessment in respect of the amount that the transferee is liable to pay because of this subsection.
The Minister may at any time assess a person in respect of any amount payable by the person because of this section, and the provisions of this Division (including, for greater certainty, the provisions in respect of interest payable) apply, with any modifications that the circumstances require, in respect of an assessment made under this section, as though it had been made under section 152 in respect of taxes payable under this Part.
If a corporation and another person have, because of subsection (1) or (2), become jointly and severally, or solidarily, liable in respect of part or all of a liability of the corporation under this Act
a payment by the other person on account of that person’s liability shall to the extent thereof discharge their liability; and
a payment by the corporation on account of the corporation’s liability discharges the other person’s liability only to the extent that the payment operates to reduce the corporation’s liability to an amount less than the amount in respect of which the other person was, by subsection (1) or (2), as the case may be, made jointly and severally, or solidarily, liable.

Where the income of a taxpayer for a taxation year, or part thereof, is from sources in another country and the taxpayer by reason of monetary or exchange restrictions imposed by the law of that country is unable to transfer it to Canada, the Minister may, if the Minister is satisfied that payment as required by this Part of the whole of the additional tax under this Part for the year reasonably attributable to income from sources in that country would impose extreme hardship on the taxpayer, postpone the time for payment of the whole or a part of that additional tax for a period to be determined by the Minister, but no such postponement may be granted if any of the income for the year from sources in that country has been
transferred to Canada,
used by the taxpayer for any purpose whatever, other than payment of income tax to the government of that other country on income from sources in that country, or

refund interest for the period
is computed on an amount refunded to the corporation, or
would be computed on an amount to which the corporation is entitled, if that amount were refunded to the corporation; and

If the Minister determines, at any time, that the total of all amounts owing by a person to Her Majesty in right of Canada under this Act does not exceed two dollars, those amounts are deemed to be nil.
If, at any time, the total of all amounts payable by the Minister to a person under this Act does not exceed two dollars, the Minister may apply those amounts against any amount owing, at that time, by the person to Her Majesty in right of Canada.

Every person that acquires or possesses an electronic suppression of sales device or a right in respect of an electronic suppression of sales device that is, or is intended to be, capable of being used in relation to records that are required to be kept by any person under section 230 is liable to a penalty of
unless paragraph (b) applies, $5,000; or
$50,000 if the action of the person occurs after the Minister has assessed a penalty payable by the person under this section or section 285.01 of the Excise Tax Act.
Every person that designs, develops, manufactures, possesses for sale, offers for sale, sells, transfers or otherwise makes available to another person, or that supplies installation, upgrade or maintenance services for, an electronic suppression of sales device that is, or is intended to be, capable of being used in relation to records that are required to be kept by any person under section 230 is liable to a penalty of
unless paragraph (b) or (c) applies, $10,000;
unless paragraph (c) applies, $50,000 if the action of the person occurs after the Minister has assessed a penalty payable by the person under subsection (2) or (3) or subsection 285.01(2) or (3) of the Excise Tax Act; or
$100,000 if the action of the person occurs after the Minister has assessed a penalty payable by the person under this subsection or subsection 285.01(4) of the Excise Tax Act.
The Minister may at any time assess a taxpayer in respect of any penalty payable by a person under subsections (2) to (4), and the provisions of this Division apply, with any modifications that the circumstances require, in respect of an assessment made under subsections (2) to (4) as though it had been made under section 152.
Despite section 152, if at any time the Minister assesses a penalty payable by a person under subsections (2) to (4), the Minister is not to assess, at or after that time, another penalty payable by the person under subsections (2) to (4) that is in respect of an action of the person that occurred before that time.
Except as otherwise provided in subsection (8), a person does not have a defence in relation to a penalty assessed under subsections (2) to (4) by reason that the person exercised due diligence to prevent the action from occurring.
A person is not liable for a penalty under subsection (3) or (4) in respect of an action of the person if the person exercised the degree of care, diligence and skill that a reasonably prudent person would have exercised in comparable circumstances to prevent the action from occurring.
For the purposes of subsections (2) to (8), if an assessment of a penalty under subsections (2) to (4) is vacated, the penalty is deemed to have never been assessed.
If the return of a taxpayer’s income for a taxation year has been made within 3 years from the end of the year, the Minister
may,
before sending the notice of assessment for the year, where the taxpayer is, for any purpose of the definition refundable investment tax credit (as defined in subsection 127.1(2)), a qualifying corporation (as defined in that subsection) and claims in its return of income for the year to have paid an amount on account of its tax payable under this Part for the year because of subsection 127.1(1) in respect of its refundable investment tax credit (as defined in subsection 127.1(2)), refund all or part of any amount claimed in the return as an overpayment for the year, not exceeding the amount by which the total determined under paragraph (f) of the definition refundable investment tax credit in subsection 127.1(2) in respect of the taxpayer for the year exceeds the total determined under paragraph (g) of that definition in respect of the taxpayer for the year,
before sending the notice of assessment for the year, where the taxpayer is a qualified corporation (as defined in subsection 125.4(1)) or an eligible production corporation (as defined in subsection 125.5(1)) and an amount is deemed under subsection 125.4(3) or 125.5(3) to have been paid on account of its tax payable under this Part for the year, refund all or part of any amount claimed in the return as an overpayment for the year, not exceeding the total of those amounts so deemed to have been paid, and
on or after sending the notice of assessment for the year, refund any overpayment for the year, to the extent that the overpayment was not refunded pursuant to subparagraph (i) or (ii); and
shall, with all due dispatch, make the refund referred to in subparagraph (a)(iii) after sending the notice of assessment if application for it is made in writing by the taxpayer within the period within which the Minister would be allowed under subsection 152(4) to assess tax payable under this Part by the taxpayer for the year if that subsection were read without reference to paragraph 152(4)(a).
Subject to subsection 164(1.2), where a taxpayer
has under section 165 served a notice of objection to an assessment and the Minister has not within 120 days after the day of service confirmed or varied the assessment or made a reassessment in respect thereof, or
has appealed from an assessment to the Tax Court of Canada,
the lesser of
the total of the amounts so paid and the value of the security, and
the amount so assessed
the total of
the amount, if any, so assessed that is not in controversy, and
1/2 of the amount so assessed that is in controversy if
the taxpayer is a large corporation (within the meaning assigned by subsection 225.1(8)), or
the amount is in respect of a particular amount claimed under section 110.1 or 118.1 and the particular amount was claimed in respect of a tax shelter.
Notwithstanding subsection 164(1.1), where, on application by the Minister made within 45 days after the receipt by the Minister of a written request by a taxpayer for repayment of an amount or surrender of a security, a judge is satisfied that there are reasonable grounds to believe that the collection of all or any part of an amount assessed in respect of the taxpayer would be jeopardized by the repayment of the amount or the surrender of the security to the taxpayer under that subsection, the judge shall order that the repayment of the amount or a part thereof not be made or that the security or part thereof not be surrendered or make such other order as the judge considers reasonable in the circumstances.
The Minister shall give 6 clear days notice of an application under subsection 164(1.2) to the taxpayer in respect of whom the application is made.
Where an application under subsection 164(1.2) is made by the Minister, subsections 225.2(4), 225.2(10), 225.2(12) and 225.2(13) are applicable in respect of the application with such modifications as the circumstances require.
Where, at any time, a taxpayer is entitled to a refund or repayment on account of taxes imposed by a province or as a result of a deduction in computing the taxes imposed by a province and the Government of Canada has agreed to make the refund or repayment on behalf of the province, the amount thereof shall be a liability of the Minister of National Revenue to the taxpayer.
Notwithstanding subsection (1), the Minister may, on or after sending a notice of assessment for a taxation year, refund all or any portion of any overpayment of a taxpayer for the year
if the taxpayer is an individual (other than a trust) or is a testamentary trust and the taxpayer’s return of income under this Part for the year was filed on or before the day that is ten calendar years after the end of the taxation year;
where an assessment or a redetermination was made under subsection 152(4.2) or 220(3.1) or 220(3.4) in respect of the taxpayer; or
to the extent that the overpayment relates to an assessment of another taxpayer under subsection 227(10) or (10.1) (in this paragraph referred to as the “other assessment”), if the taxpayer’s return of income under this Part for the taxation year is filed on or before the day that is two years after the date of the other assessment and if the other assessment relates to
in the case of an amount assessed under subsection 227(10), a payment to the taxpayer of a fee, commission or other amount in respect of services rendered in Canada by a non-resident person or partnership, and
in the case of an amount assessed under subsection 227(10.1), an amount payable under subsection 116(5) or (5.3) in respect of a disposition of property by the taxpayer.
Subsection (1.52) applies to a taxpayer for a taxation year if, at any time after the beginning of the year
the taxpayer has, in respect of the tax payable by the taxpayer under this Part (and, if the taxpayer is a corporation, Parts I.3, VI, VI.1 and XIII.1) for the year, paid under any of sections 155 to 157 one or more instalments of tax;
it is reasonable to conclude that the total amount of those instalments exceeds the total amount of taxes that will be payable by the taxpayer under those Parts for the year; and
the Minister is satisfied that the payment of the instalments has caused or will cause undue hardship to the taxpayer.
If this subsection applies to a taxpayer for a taxation year, the Minister may refund to the taxpayer all or any part of the excess referred to in paragraph (1.51)(b).
For the purpose of the calculation of any penalty or interest under this Act, an instalment is deemed not to have been paid to the extent that all or any part of the instalment can reasonably be considered to have been refunded under subsection (1.52).
[Repealed, 2013, c. 34, s. 321]
Subsection 164(1.1) does not apply in respect of an amount paid or security furnished under section 116 by a non-resident person.
An individual (other than a trust) may, in the individual’s return of income for a taxation year, request the Minister to pay to Her Majesty in right of a prescribed province all or any part of a refund for the year claimed by the individual in the return and, where the individual makes such a request,
the Minister may make the payment to Her Majesty in right of the province in accordance with the request; and
the amount of the payment is deemed to have been refunded under this section to the individual at the time a notice of an original assessment of tax payable under this Part by the individual for the year, or a notification that no tax is payable under this Part by the individual for the year, is sent to the individual.
Instead of making a refund or repayment that might otherwise be made under this section, the Minister may, where the taxpayer is, or is about to become, liable to make any payment to Her Majesty in right of Canada or in right of a province, apply the amount of the refund or repayment to that other liability and notify the taxpayer of that action.
The Minister shall not, in respect of a taxpayer, refund, repay, apply to other debts or set-off amounts under this Act at any time unless all returns of which the Minister has knowledge and that are required to be filed by the taxpayer at or before that time under this Act, the Air Travellers Security Charge Act, the Excise Act, 2001 and the Excise Tax Act have been filed with the Minister.
Where an amount deemed under section 122.5 to be paid by an individual during a month specified for a taxation year is applied under subsection 164(2) to a liability of the individual and the individual’s return of income for the year is filed on or before the individual’s balance-due day for the year, the amount is deemed to have been so applied on the day on which the amount would have been refunded if the individual were not liable to make a payment to Her Majesty in right of Canada.
Subsection 164(2) does not apply to a refund to be made to a taxpayer and arising because of section 122.61 except to the extent that the taxpayer’s liability referred to in that subsection arose from the operation of paragraph 160.1(1)(a) with respect to an amount refunded to the taxpayer in excess of the amount to which the taxpayer was entitled because of section 122.61.
For the purpose of subsection (1), where a taxpayer files the form referred to in paragraph (b) of the definition return of income in section 122.6 for a taxation year, the form is deemed to be a return of the taxpayer’s income for that year and a notice of assessment in respect of that return is deemed to have been sent by the Minister.
If, under this section, an amount in respect of a taxation year (other than an amount, or a portion of the amount, that can reasonably be considered to arise from the operation of section 122.5 or 122.61) is refunded or repaid to a taxpayer or applied to another liability of the taxpayer, the Minister shall pay or apply interest on it at the prescribed rate for the period that begins on the day that is the latest of the days referred to in the following paragraphs and that ends on the day on which the amount is refunded, repaid or applied:
if the taxpayer is an individual, the day that is 30 days after the individual’s balance-due day for the year;
if the taxpayer is a corporation, the day that is 120 days after the end of the year;
if the taxpayer is
a corporation, the day that is 30 days after the day on which its return of income for the year was filed under section 150, unless the return was filed on or before the corporation’s filing-due date for the year, and
an individual, the day that is 30 days after the day on which the individual’s return of income for the year was filed under section 150;
in the case of a refund of an overpayment, the day on which the overpayment arose; and
in the case of a repayment of an amount in controversy, the day on which an overpayment equal to the amount of the repayment would have arisen if the total of all amounts payable on account of the taxpayer’s liability under this Part for the year were the amount by which
the lesser of the total of all amounts paid on account of the taxpayer’s liability under this Part for the year and the total of all amounts assessed by the Minister as payable under this Part by the taxpayer for the year
the amount repaid.
Where at a particular time interest has been paid to, or applied to a liability of, a taxpayer under subsection 164(3) or 164(3.2) in respect of an overpayment and it is determined at a subsequent time that the actual overpayment was less than the overpayment in respect of which interest was paid or applied,
the amount by which the interest that has been paid or applied exceeds the interest, if any, computed in respect of the amount that is determined at the subsequent time to be the actual overpayment shall be deemed to be an amount (in this subsection referred to as “the amount payable”) that became payable under this Part by the taxpayer at the particular time;
the taxpayer shall pay to the Receiver General interest at the prescribed rate on the amount payable computed from that particular time to the day of payment; and
the Minister may at any time assess the taxpayer in respect of the amount payable and, where the Minister makes such an assessment, the provisions of this Division are applicable, with such modifications as the circumstances require, in respect of the assessment as though it had been made under section 152.
Notwithstanding subsection (3), if an overpayment of a taxpayer for a taxation year is determined because of an assessment made under subsection 152(4.2) or 220(3.1) or (3.4) and an amount in respect of the overpayment is refunded to, or applied to another liability of, the taxpayer under subsection (1.5) or (2), the Minister shall pay or apply interest on the overpayment at the prescribed rate for the period beginning on the day that is 30 days after the day on which the Minister received a request in a manner satisfactory to the Minister to apply those subsections and ending on the day on which the amount is refunded or applied.
Where at any particular time interest has been paid to, or applied to a liability of, a taxpayer pursuant to subsection 164(3) in respect of the repayment of an amount in controversy made to, or applied to a liability of, the taxpayer and it is determined at a subsequent time that the repayment or a part thereof is payable by the taxpayer under this Part, the following rules apply:
the interest so paid or applied on that part of the repayment that is determined at the subsequent time to be payable by the taxpayer under this Part shall be deemed to be an amount (in this subsection referred to as the “interest excess”) that became payable under this Part by the taxpayer at the particular time;
the taxpayer shall pay to the Receiver General interest at the prescribed rate on the interest excess computed from the particular time to the day of payment; and
the Minister may at any time assess the taxpayer in respect of the interest excess and, where the Minister makes such an assessment, the provisions of this Division and Division J are applicable, with such modifications as the circumstances require, in respect of the assessment as though it had been made under section 152.
Where the Tax Court of Canada, the Federal Court of Appeal or the Supreme Court of Canada has, on the disposition of an appeal in respect of taxes, interest or a penalty payable under this Act by a taxpayer resident in Canada,
referred an assessment back to the Minister for reconsideration and reassessment, or
varied or vacated an assessment,
where the assessment has been referred back to the Minister, reconsider the assessment and make a reassessment in accordance with the decision of the Court, unless otherwise directed in writing by the taxpayer, and
refund any overpayment resulting from the variation, vacation or reassessment,
For the purpose of subsection 164(3), the portion of any overpayment of the tax payable by a taxpayer for a taxation year that arose as a consequence of
the deduction of an amount, in respect of a repayment under subsection 68.4(7) of the Excise Tax Act made in a subsequent taxation year, in computing the amount determined under subparagraph 12(1)(x.1)(ii),

the first day immediately following that subsequent taxation year,
the day on which the taxpayer’s or the taxpayer’s legal representative’s return of income for that subsequent taxation year was filed,
if an amended return of a taxpayer’s income for the year or a prescribed form amending the taxpayer’s return of income for the year was filed under paragraph (6)(e) or subsection 49(4) or 152(6) or (6.1), the day on which the amended return or prescribed form was filed, and
where, as a consequence of a request in writing, the Minister reassessed the taxpayer’s tax for the year to take into account the deduction or exclusion, the day on which the request was made.
Where a portion of a repayment made under subsection (1.1) or (4.1), or an amount applied under subsection (2) in respect of a repayment, can reasonably be regarded as being in respect of a claim made by the taxpayer in an objection to or appeal from an assessment of tax for a taxation year for a deduction or exclusion described in subsection (5) in respect of a subsequent taxation year, interest shall not be paid or applied on the portion for any part of a period that is before the latest of the dates described in paragraphs (5)(i) to (l).
Where in the course of administering the estate of a deceased taxpayer, the taxpayer’s legal representative has, within the first taxation year of the estate,
disposed of capital property of the estate so that the total of all amounts each of which is a capital loss from the disposition of a property exceeds the total of all amounts each of which is a capital gain from the disposition of a property, or
disposed of all of the depreciable property of a prescribed class of the estate so that the undepreciated capital cost to the estate of property of that class at the end of the first taxation year of the estate is, by virtue of subsection 20(16) or any regulation made under paragraph 20(1)(a), deductible in computing the income of the estate for that year,
such parts of one or more capital losses of the estate from the disposition of properties in the year (the total of which is not to exceed the excess referred to in paragraph 164(6)(a)) as the legal representative so elects, in prescribed manner and within a prescribed time, are deemed (except for the purpose of subsection 112(3) and this paragraph) to be capital losses of the deceased taxpayer from the disposition of the properties by the taxpayer in the taxpayer’s last taxation year and not to be capital losses of the estate from the disposition of those properties,
such part of the amount of any deduction described in paragraph 164(6)(b) (not exceeding the amount that, but for this subsection, would be the total of the non-capital loss and the farm loss of the estate for its first taxation year) as the legal representative so elects, in prescribed manner and within a prescribed time, shall be deductible in computing the income of the taxpayer for the taxpayer’s taxation year in which the taxpayer died and shall not be an amount deductible in computing any loss of the estate for its first taxation year,
the legal representative shall, at or before the time prescribed for filing the election referred to in paragraphs 164(6)(c) and 164(6)(d), file an amended return of income for the deceased taxpayer for the taxpayer’s taxation year in which the taxpayer died to give effect to the rules in those paragraphs, and
in computing the taxable income of the deceased taxpayer for a taxation year preceding the year in which the taxpayer died, no amount may be deducted in respect of an amount referred to in paragraph 164(6)(c) or 164(6)(d).
Notwithstanding any other provision of this Act, if a right to acquire securities (as defined in subsection 7(7)) under an agreement in respect of which a benefit was deemed by paragraph 7(1)(e) to have been received by a taxpayer (in this subsection referred to as “the right”) is exercised or disposed of by the taxpayer’s legal representative within the first taxation year of the estate of the taxpayer and the representative so elects in prescribed manner and on or before a prescribed day,
the amount, if any, by which
the amount of the benefit deemed by paragraph 7(1)(e) to have been received by the taxpayer in respect of the right
the amount, if any, by which the value of the right immediately before the time it was exercised or disposed of exceeds the amount, if any, paid by the taxpayer to acquire the right, and
where in computing the taxpayer’s taxable income for the taxation year in which the taxpayer died an amount was deducted under paragraph 110(1)(d) in respect of the benefit deemed by paragraph 7(1)(e) to have been received by the taxpayer in that year by reason of paragraph 7(1)(e) in respect of that right, 1/2 of the amount, if any, by which the amount determined under subparagraph 164(6.1)(a)(i) exceeds the amount determined under subparagraph 164(6.1)(a)(ii),
there shall be deducted in computing the adjusted cost base to the estate of the right at any time the amount of the loss that would be determined under paragraph 164(6.1)(a) if that paragraph were read without reference to subparagraph 164(6.1)(a)(iii); and
the legal representative shall, at or before the time prescribed for filing the election under this subsection, file an amended return of income for the taxpayer for the taxation year in which the taxpayer died to give effect to paragraph 164(6.1)(a).

the day that is one year after the taxpayer’s filing-due date for the year, and
the day that is 90 days after the day of sending of the notice of assessment; and
in any other case, on or before the day that is 90 days after the day of sending of the notice of assessment.

in any other case, as relating to any matter that gave rise to the assessment or determination

only if the corporation complied with subsection 165(1.11) in the notice with respect to that issue; and
only with respect to the relief sought in respect of that issue as specified by the corporation in the notice.
Where a particular assessment is made under subsection 165(3) pursuant to an objection made by a taxpayer to an earlier assessment, subsection 165(1.13) does not limit the right of the taxpayer to object to the particular assessment in respect of an issue that was part of the particular assessment and not part of the earlier assessment.

was unable to act or to instruct another to act in the taxpayer’s name, or

was unable to act or to instruct another to act in the taxpayer’s name, or
had a bona fide intention to object to the assessment or make the request,
given the reasons set out in the application and the circumstances of the case, it would be just and equitable to grant the application, and
the application was made under subsection 166.1(1) as soon as circumstances permitted.
Where an appeal to the Tax Court of Canada has not been instituted by a taxpayer under section 169 within the time limited by that section for doing so, the taxpayer may make an application to the Court for an order extending the time within which the appeal may be instituted and the Court may make an order extending the time for appealing and may impose such terms as it deems just.

Where the Minister gives notice under subsection 168(1) to a registered charity or to a registered Canadian amateur athletic association,
if the charity or association has applied to the Minister in writing for the revocation of its registration, the Minister shall, forthwith after the mailing of the notice, publish a copy of the notice in the Canada Gazette, and

Notwithstanding subsections (1), (2) and (4), if a registered charity is the subject of a certificate that is determined to be reasonable under subsection 7(1) of the Charities Registration (Security Information) Act, the registration of the charity is revoked as of the making of that determination.
A person may, on or before the day that is 90 days after the day on which the notice was mailed, serve on the Minister a written notice of objection in the manner authorized by the Minister, setting out the reasons for the objection and all the relevant facts, and the provisions of subsections 165(1), (1.1) and (3) to (7) and sections 166, 166.1 and 166.2 apply, with any modifications that the circumstances require, as if the notice were a notice of assessment made under section 152, if
in the case of a person that is or was registered as a registered charity or is an applicant for such registration, it objects to a notice under any of subsections (1) and 149.1(2) to (4.1), (6.3), (22) and (23);
in the case of a person that is or was registered as a registered Canadian amateur athletic association or is an applicant for such registration, it objects to a notice under any of subsections (1) and 149.1(4.2) and (22); or
in the case of a person described in any of subparagraphs (a)(i) to (v) of the definition qualified donee in subsection 149.1(1), that is or was registered by the Minister as a qualified donee or is an applicant for such registration, it objects to a notice under any of subsections (1) and 149.1(4.3) and (22).
Where a taxpayer has served notice of objection to an assessment under section 165, the taxpayer may appeal to the Tax Court of Canada to have the assessment vacated or varied after either
the Minister has confirmed the assessment or reassessed, or
90 days have elapsed after service of the notice of objection and the Minister has not notified the taxpayer that the Minister has vacated or confirmed the assessment or reassessed,
but no appeal under this section may be instituted after the expiration of 90 days from the day notice has been sent to the taxpayer under section 165 that the Minister has confirmed the assessment or reassessed.
Where at any particular time a taxpayer has disposed of a property, the fair market value of which has been confirmed or redetermined by the Minister of the Environment under subsection 118.1(10.4), the taxpayer may, within 90 days after the day on which that Minister has issued a certificate under subsection 118.1(10.5), appeal the confirmation or redetermination to the Tax Court of Canada.
Notwithstanding subsection 169(1), where at any time the Minister assesses tax, interest, penalties or other amounts payable under this Part by, or makes a determination in respect of, a taxpayer

under subsection 165(3) where the underlying objection relates to an assessment or a determination made under any of the provisions or circumstances referred to in paragraph 169(2)(a), or
under a provision of an Act of Parliament requiring an assessment to be made that, but for that provision, would not be made because of subsections 152(4) to 152(5),
the taxpayer may appeal to the Tax Court of Canada within the time limit specified in subsection 169(1), but only to the extent that the reasons for the appeal can reasonably be regarded
where the assessment or determination was made under subsection 152(1.8), as relating to any matter specified in paragraph 152(1.8)(a), 152(1.8)(b) or 152(1.8)(c), and
in any other case, as relating to any matter that gave rise to the assessment or determination
and that was not conclusively determined by the Court, and this subsection shall not be read or construed as limiting the right of the taxpayer to appeal from an assessment or a determination issued or made before that time.
Notwithstanding subsections 169(1) and 169(2), where a corporation that was a large corporation in a taxation year (within the meaning assigned by subsection 225.1(8)) served a notice of objection to an assessment under this Part for the year, the corporation may appeal to the Tax Court of Canada to have the assessment vacated or varied only with respect to
an issue in respect of which the corporation has complied with subsection 165(1.11) in the notice, or
an issue described in subsection 165(1.14) where the corporation did not, because of subsection 165(7), serve a notice of objection to the assessment that gave rise to the issue
and, in the case of an issue described in paragraph 169(2.1)(a), the corporation may so appeal only with respect to the relief sought in respect of the issue as specified by the corporation in the notice.
Notwithstanding subsections 169(1) and 169(2), for greater certainty a taxpayer may not appeal to the Tax Court of Canada to have an assessment under this Part vacated or varied in respect of an issue for which the right of objection or appeal has been waived in writing by the taxpayer.
Notwithstanding section 152, for the purpose of disposing of an appeal made under a provision of this Act, the Minister may at any time, with the consent in writing of the taxpayer, reassess tax, interest, penalties or other amounts payable under this Act by the taxpayer.
Division I applies, with such modifications as the circumstances require, in respect of a reassessment made under subsection 169(3) as though it had been made under section 152.
Where an appeal is made to the Tax Court of Canada under section 18 of the Tax Court of Canada Act, the Court shall forthwith send a copy of the notice of the appeal to the office of the Commissioner of Revenue.
[Repealed, 2013, c. 34, s. 322]

An appeal referred to in subsection (3) or (4) is suspended when an applicant or a registered charity is, under subsection 5(1) of the Charities Registration (Security Information) Act, served with a copy of a certificate that has been signed under that Act, whether the appeal was instituted before or after the certificate was so signed, and the appeal is
discontinued on the determination, under subsection 7(1) of that Act, that the certificate is reasonable; or

The definitions in subsection 149.1(1) apply to this section.
Where the Minister and a taxpayer agree in writing that a question of law, fact or mixed law and fact arising under this Act, in respect of any assessment, proposed assessment, determination or proposed determination, should be determined by the Tax Court of Canada, that question shall be determined by that Court.
The time between the day on which proceedings are instituted in the Tax Court of Canada to have a question determined pursuant to subsection 173(1) and the day on which the question is finally determined shall not be counted in the computation of
the periods determined under subsection 152(4),

the time within which an appeal may be instituted under section 169,
for the purpose of making an assessment of the tax payable by the taxpayer who agreed in writing to the determination of the question, for the purpose of serving a notice of objection thereto or for the purpose of instituting an appeal therefrom, as the case may be.
The Minister may apply to the Tax Court of Canada for a determination of a question if the Minister is of the opinion that the question is common to assessments or proposed assessments in respect of two or more taxpayers and is a question of law, fact or mixed law and fact arising out of
one and the same transaction or occurrence or series of transactions or occurrences; or
substantially similar transactions or occurrences or series of transactions or occurrences.
An application under subsection (1)
shall set out
the question in respect of which the Minister requests a determination,
the names of the taxpayers that the Minister seeks to have bound by the determination of the question, and
the facts and reasons on which the Minister relies and on which the Minister based or intends to base assessments of tax payable by each of the taxpayers named in the application; and
shall be served by the Minister on each of the taxpayers named in the application and on any other persons who, in the opinion of the Tax Court of Canada, are likely to be affected by the determination of the question,
by sending a copy to each taxpayer so named and each other person so likely to be affected, or
on ex parte application by the Minister, in accordance with the directions of the Court.
If the Tax Court of Canada is satisfied that a question set out in an application under this section is common to assessments or proposed assessments in respect of two or more taxpayers who have been served with a copy of the application, the Tax Court of Canada may
make an order naming the taxpayers in respect of whom the question will be determined;
if one or more of the taxpayers so served has or have appealed an assessment to the Tax Court of Canada in respect of which the question is relevant, make an order joining a party or parties to that or those appeals as it considers appropriate; and
proceed to determine the question in such manner as it considers appropriate.
Subject to subsection (4.1), if a question set out in an application under this section is determined by the Tax Court of Canada, the determination is final and conclusive for the purposes of any assessments of tax payable by the taxpayers named in the order made under paragraph (3)(a).
If a question set out in an application under this section is determined by the Tax Court of Canada, an appeal from the determination may, in accordance with the provisions of the Tax Court of Canada Act or the Federal Courts Act, as they relate to appeals from decisions of the Tax Court of Canada to the Federal Court of Appeal, be made by
the Minister; or
any taxpayer named in an order of the Court made under paragraph (3)(a) if
the question arises out of one and the same transaction or occurrence or series of transactions or occurrences,
the taxpayer has appealed an assessment to the Tax Court of Canada in respect of which the question is relevant, or
the taxpayer has been granted leave by a judge of the Federal Court of Appeal.
Any taxpayer named in an order made under paragraph (3)(a) in respect of a question is bound by any determination in respect of the question under an appeal made to the Federal Court of Appeal or the Supreme Court of Canada.
The time between the day on which an application under this section is served on a taxpayer pursuant to subsection 174(2) and
in the case of a taxpayer named in an order of the Tax Court of Canada pursuant to subsection 174(3), the day on which the determination becomes final and conclusive and not subject to any appeal, or
in the case of any other taxpayer, the day on which the taxpayer is served with notice that the taxpayer has not been named in an order of the Tax Court of Canada pursuant to subsection 174(3),
shall not be counted in the computation of
the periods determined under subsection 152(4),
the time for service of a notice of objection to an assessment under section 165, or
the time within which an appeal may be instituted under section 169,
for the purpose of making an assessment of the tax, interest or penalties payable by the taxpayer, serving a notice of objection thereto or instituting an appeal therefrom, as the case may be.
An appeal to the Tax Court of Canada under this Act, other than one referred to in section 18 of the Tax Court of Canada Act, shall be instituted in the manner set out in that Act or in any rules made under that Act.
[Repealed, 2013, c. 34, s. 323]
Proceedings in the Federal Court of Appeal under this Division may, on the application of the taxpayer, be held in camera if the taxpayer establishes to the satisfaction of the Court that the circumstances of the case justify in camera proceedings.
Where the Tax Court of Canada disposes of an appeal by a taxpayer in respect of an amount payable under this Part or where such an appeal has been discontinued or dismissed without trial, the Court may, on the application of the Minister and whether or not it awards costs, order the taxpayer to pay to the Receiver General an amount not exceeding 10% of any part of the amount that was in controversy in respect of which the Court determines that there were no reasonable grounds for the appeal, if in the opinion of the Court one of the main purposes for instituting or maintaining any part of the appeal was to defer the payment of any amount payable under this Part.
An appeal to the Federal Court of Appeal pursuant to subsection 172(3) may be instituted by filing a notice of appeal in the Court within 30 days from
the day on which the Minister notifies a person under subsection 165(3) of the Minister’s action in respect of a notice of objection filed under subsection 168(4),
[Repealed, 2011, c. 24, s. 55]
the mailing of notice to the administrator of the registered pension plan under subsection 147.1(11),
the sending of a notice to a promoter of a registered education savings plan under subsection 146.1(12.1),
the mailing of notice to the administrator of the pooled registered pension plan under subsection 147.5(24), or

as the case may be, or within such further time as the Court of Appeal or a judge thereof may, either before or after the expiration of those 30 days, fix or allow.
Neither the Tax Court of Canada nor the Federal Court has jurisdiction to entertain any proceeding in respect of a decision of the Minister from which an appeal may be instituted under this section.
An appeal to the Federal Court of Appeal instituted under this section shall be heard and determined in a summary way.
A taxpayer may make an election in prescribed form to have subsection (2) apply for a taxation year in respect of particular securities if
the taxpayer elected to have subsection 7(8) apply, as that subsection applied before 4:00 p.m. Eastern Standard Time, March 4, 2010, in respect of the particular securities; and
the taxpayer has, in the year and before 2015, disposed of the particular securities; and
the election under this subsection is filed
if the taxpayer has disposed of the particular securities before 2010, on or before the taxpayer’s filing-due date for 2010, and
in any other case, on or before the taxpayer’s filing-due date for the year of disposition of the particular securities.
If a taxpayer makes an election under subsection (1) for a taxation year in respect of particular securities, the following rules apply:
paragraph 110(1)(d) shall be read without reference to the phrase “1/2 of” in respect of the amount of the benefit deemed by subsection 7(1) to have been received by the taxpayer in the year in respect of the particular securities;
the taxpayer is deemed to have realized a capital gain for the year equal to the lesser of
the amount that is deductible by the taxpayer under paragraph 110(1)(d), as modified by paragraph (a), and
the taxpayer’s capital loss in respect of the disposition of the particular securities;
the taxpayer is liable to pay a tax for the year equal to
in the case of a taxpayer resident in the Province of Quebec at the end of the year, 2/3 of the taxpayer’s proceeds of disposition (as defined in section 54, but determined without reference to subsection 73(1)) of the particular securities, and
in any other case, the taxpayer’s proceeds of disposition (as defined in section 54, but determined without reference to subsection 73(1)) of the particular securities;
to the extent that the taxation year is outside the normal reassessment period (as defined in subsection 152(3.1)), the election is deemed to be an application for reassessment under subsection 152(4.2);
notwithstanding subsection 152(4) and as the circumstances require, the Minister shall re-determine the taxpayer’s net capital loss (as defined in subsection 111(8)) for the taxation year and reassess any taxation year in which an amount has been deducted under paragraph 111(1)(b).
subparagraph 127.52(1)(h)(ii) is to be read as “the amount deducted under paragraph 110(1)(d)” for the year in respect of the particular securities; and
notwithstanding subsection 152(4) and as the circumstances require, the Minister shall re-determine the taxpayer’s additional tax under subsection 120.2(3) for the taxation year and reassess any taxation year in which an amount has been deducted under subsection 120.2(1).
An amount included under subsection (2)(b) in computing a person’s income under Part I of this Act for a taxation year shall not be included in determining the income of the person for the year under Part VII of the Employment Insurance Act.
Subsection 150(3), sections 150.1 to 152, 155 to 156.1 and 158 to 167 and Division J of Part I apply to this Part with any modifications that the circumstances require.
[Repealed, 2001, c. 17, s. 161(1)]
The definitions in this subsection apply in this Part.
adjusted income of an individual for a taxation year means the amount that would be the individual’s income under Part I for the year if in computing that income no amount were
included
under paragraph 56(1)(q.1) or subsection 56(6),
in respect of a gain from a disposition of property to which section 79 applies, or
in respect of a gain described in subsection 40(3.21), or
deductible under paragraph 60(w), (y) or (z);
base taxation year in relation to a month, means
where the month is any of the first 6 months of a calendar year, the taxation year that ended on December 31 of the second preceding calendar year, and
where the month is any of the last 6 months of a calendar year, the taxation year that ended on December 31 of the preceding calendar year;
return of income in respect of an individual for a taxation year means
where the individual was resident in Canada throughout the year, the individual’s return of income (other than a return of income filed under subsection 70(2) or 104(23), paragraph 128(2)(e) or subsection 150(4)) that is filed or required to be filed under Part I for the year, and
in any other case, a prescribed form containing prescribed information.
Every individual shall pay a tax under this Part for each taxation year equal to the amount determined by the formula A(1 - B) where A is the lesser of the amount, if any, by which the total of all amounts each of which is the amount of any pension, supplement or spouse’s or commmon-law partner’s allowance under the Old Age Security Act included in computing the individual’s income under Part I for the year exceeds the amount of any deduction allowed under subparagraph 60(n)(i) in computing the individual’s income under Part I for the year, and 15% of the amount, if any, by which the individual’s adjusted income for the year exceeds $50,000; and B is the rate of tax payable by the individual under Part XIII on amounts described in paragraph (a) of the description of A.
Where at any time Her Majesty pays an amount described in paragraph (a) of the description of A in subsection 180.2(2) in respect of a month to an individual, there shall be deducted or withheld from that amount on account of the individual’s tax payable under this Part for the year the amount determined under subsection 180.2(4) in respect of that amount.
The amount determined in respect of a particular amount described in subsection 180.2(3) is
where the individual has filed a return of income for the base taxation year in relation to the month in which the particular amount is paid, the lesser of
the amount by which the particular amount exceeds the amount of tax payable under Part XIII by the individual on the particular amount, and
the amount determined by the formula(0.0125A - $665)(1 - B) where A is the individual’s adjusted income for the base taxation year, and B is the rate of tax payable under Part XIII by the individual on the particular amount;
where the individual has not filed a return of income for the base taxation year in relation to the month and
the Minister has demanded under subsection 150(2) that the individual file the return, or
the individual was non-resident at any time in the base taxation year,
in any other case, nil.
Every individual liable to pay tax under this Part for a taxation year shall

The least amount allocated for a taxation year to a member of a related group under an agreement described in subsection 181.5(2) or by the Minister pursuant to subsection 181.5(3) is the capital deduction of that member for that taxation year.
For the purposes of applying subsection 125(5.1), the definitions unused surtax credit in subsections 181.1(6) and 190.1(5), and subsection 225.1(8), subsections (2) to (4) are to be read as if the amount determined under subsection (2) or (3), as the case may be, in respect of the corporation for the taxation year were that proportion of $10 million that the amount otherwise determined in respect of the corporation for the taxation year under that subsection is of $50 million.
Where a corporation (in this subsection referred to as the “first corporation”) has more than one taxation year ending in the same calendar year and is related in 2 or more of those taxation years to another corporation that has a taxation year ending in that calendar year, the capital deduction of the first corporation for each such taxation year at the end of which it is related to the other corporation is an amount equal to its capital deduction for the first such taxation year.
Two corporations that would, but for this subsection, be related to each other by reason only of
the control of any corporation by Her Majesty in right of Canada or a province, or
a right referred to in paragraph 251(5)(b),
are, for the purposes of this section and subsection 181.3(4), deemed not to be related to each other except that, where at any time a taxpayer has a right referred to in paragraph 251(5)(b) with respect to shares and it can reasonably be considered that one of the main purposes for the acquisition of the right was to avoid any limitation on the amount of a corporation’s capital deduction for a taxation year, for the purpose of determining whether a corporation is related to any other corporation, the corporations are, for the purposes of this section, deemed to be in the same position in relation to each other as if the right were immediate and absolute and as if the taxpayer had exercised the right at that time.
For the purposes of subsection 181.3(4) and this section, a Canadian-controlled private corporation and another corporation to which it would, but for this subsection, be related at any time shall be deemed not to be related to each other at that time where the corporations are not associated with each other at that time.
Every corporation that is or would, but for subsection 181.1(4), be liable to pay tax under this Part for a taxation year shall file with the Minister, not later than the day on or before which the corporation is required by section 150 to file its return of income for the year under Part I, a return of capital for the year in prescribed form containing an estimate of the tax payable under this Part by it for the year.
Sections 152, 158 and 159, subsection 161(11), sections 162 to 167 and Division J of Part I apply to this Part with such modifications as the circumstances require and, for the purpose of this section, paragraph 152(6)(a) shall be read as follows:
a deduction under section 181.1(4) in respect of any unused surtax credit (within the meaning assigned by subsection 181.1(6)) for a subsequent taxation year.”
Section 27 applies to this Part with any modifications that the circumstances require.

This Part applies to a corporation (other than a mutual fund corporation) for a taxation year in which the corporation, at any time in the year,
was a public corporation; or
was resident in Canada and had a class of shares outstanding that were purchased and sold in the manner in which such shares normally are purchased and sold by any member of the public in the open market.
Where, as a part of a transaction or series of transactions or events,
a corporation, or any person with whom the corporation was not dealing at arm’s length, has, at any time, paid an amount, directly or indirectly, to any person as proceeds of disposition of any property, and
all or any portion of the amount may reasonably be considered, having regard to all the circumstances, to have been paid as a substitute for dividends that would otherwise have been paid in the normal course by the corporation,
the corporation shall, on or before its balance-due day for its taxation year that includes that time, pay tax of 45% of that amount or portion of it, as the case may be.
Where, as a part of a transaction or series of transactions or events,

that excess shall, for the purposes of subsection 183.1(2), be deemed to have been paid as a substitute for dividends that would otherwise have been paid in the normal course by the corporation.
Where, as a part of a transaction or series of transactions or events,
a share of the capital stock of a corporation was purchased, directly or indirectly, by the corporation, or by any person with whom the corporation was not dealing at arm’s length, and
any portion of the amount paid for the share may reasonably be considered, having regard to all the circumstances, as consideration for a dividend that had been declared, but not yet paid, on the share,
that portion of the amount shall, for the purposes of subsection 183.1(2), be deemed to have been paid as a substitute for dividends that would otherwise have been paid in the normal course by the corporation notwithstanding that the dividend was actually paid thereafter.
Where, as a part of a transaction or series of transactions or events, a person received a payment from a corporation, or from any person with whom the corporation was not dealing at arm’s length, in consideration, in whole or in part, for paying an amount to any other person as proceeds of disposition of any property, the corporation shall, for the purposes of subsection 183.1(2), be deemed to have paid the amount indirectly to the other person.
Subsection 183.1(2) does not apply if none of the purposes of the transaction or series of transactions or events referred to therein may reasonably be considered, having regard to all the circumstances, to have been to enable shareholders of a corporation who are individuals or non-resident persons to receive an amount, directly or indirectly, as proceeds of disposition of property rather than as a dividend on a share that was of a class that was listed on a stock exchange or that was purchased and sold in the manner in which shares are normally purchased and sold by any member of the public in the open market.

If, in respect of an original dividend payable at a particular time, a corporation would, but for this subsection, be required to pay a tax under this Part in respect of an excess referred to in subsection (2), and the corporation elects in prescribed manner on or before the day that is 90 days after the day of sending of the notice of assessment in respect of the tax that would otherwise be payable under this Part, the following rules apply:
the portion of the original dividend deemed by subsection 83(2), 130.1(4) or 131(1) to be a capital dividend or capital gains dividend, as the case may be, is deemed for the purposes of this Act to be the amount of a separate dividend that became payable at the particular time;
if the corporation identifies in its election any part of the excess, that part is, for the purposes of any election under subsection 83(2), 130.1(4) or 131(1) in respect of that part, and, where the corporation has so elected, for all purposes of this Act, deemed to be the amount of a separate dividend that became payable immediately after the particular time;
the amount by which the excess exceeds any portion deemed by paragraph (b) to be a separate dividend for all purposes of this Act is deemed to be a separate taxable dividend that became payable at the particular time; and
each person who held any of the issued shares of the class of shares of the capital stock of the corporation in respect of which the original dividend was paid is deemed
not to have received any portion of the original dividend, and
to have received, at the time that any separate dividend determined under any of paragraphs (a) to (c) became payable, the proportion of that dividend that the number of shares of that class held by the person at the particular time is of the number of shares of that class outstanding at the particular time except that, for the purpose of Part XIII, the separate dividend is deemed to be paid on the day that the election in respect of this subsection is made.
[Repealed, 2013, c. 34, s. 327]
An election under subsection (3) is valid only if
it is made with the concurrence of the corporation and all its shareholders
who received or were entitled to receive all or any portion of the original dividend, and
whose addresses were known to the corporation; and
either
it is made on or before the day that is 30 months after the day on which the original dividend became payable, or
each shareholder described in subparagraph (a)(i) concurs with the election, in which case, notwithstanding subsections 152(4) to (5), any assessment of the tax, interest and penalties payable by each of those shareholders for any taxation year shall be made that is necessary to take the corporation’s election into account.
If each person who, in respect of an election made under subsection (3), is deemed by subsection (3) to have received a dividend at a particular time is also, at the particular time, a person all of whose taxable income is exempt from tax under Part I,
subsection (4) does not apply to the election; and
the election is valid only if it is made on or before the day that is 30 months after the day on which the original dividend became payable.
The Minister shall, with all due dispatch, examine each election made by a corporation in accordance with subsection 83(2), 130.1(4) or 131(1), assess the tax, if any, payable under this Part in respect of the election and send a notice of assessment to the corporation.
Where an election has been made by a corporation in accordance with subsection 83(2), 130.1(4) or 131(1) and the Minister mails a notice of assessment under this Part in respect of the election, that part of the amount assessed then remaining unpaid and interest thereon at the prescribed rate computed from the day of the election to the day of payment is payable forthwith by the corporation to the Receiver General.
Subsections 152(3), 152(4), 152(5), 152(7) and 152(8) and 161(11), sections 163 to 167 and Division J of Part I are applicable to this Part with such modifications as the circumstances require.
Each person who has received a dividend from a corporation in respect of which the corporation elected under subsection 83(2), 130.1(4) or 131(1) is jointly and severally, or solidarily, liable with the corporation to pay that proportion of the corporation’s tax payable under this Part because of the election that
the amount of the dividend received by the person
is of
the full amount of the dividend in respect of which the election was made,
but nothing in this subsection limits the liability of any person under any other provision of this Act.
The Minister may, at any time after the last day on which a corporation may make an election under subsection 184(3) in respect of a dividend, assess a person in respect of any amount payable under subsection 185(4) in respect of the dividend, and the provisions of Division I of Part I apply, with such modifications as the circumstances require, to an assessment made under this subsection as though it were made under section 152.
If under subsection (4) a corporation and another person have become jointly and severally, or solidarily, liable to pay part or all of the corporation’s tax payable under this Part in respect of a dividend described in that subsection,
a payment at any time by the other person on account of the liability shall, to the extent of the payment, discharge their liability after that time; and
a payment at any time by the corporation on account of its liability shall discharge the other person’s liability only to the extent of the amount determined by the formula(A - B) × C/D where A is the total of the amount of the corporation’s liability, immediately before that time, under this Part in respect of the full amount of the dividend, and the amount of the payment, B is the amount of the corporation’s liability, immediately before that time, under this Act, C is the amount of the dividend received by the other person, and D is the full amount of the dividend.
A corporation that has made an excessive eligible dividend designation in respect of an eligible dividend paid by it at any time in a taxation year shall, on or before the corporation’s balance-due day for the taxation year, pay a tax under this Part for the taxation year equal to the total of
20% of the excessive eligible dividend designation, and
if the excessive eligible dividend designation arises because of the application of paragraph (c) of the definition excessive eligible dividend designation in subsection 89(1), 10% of the excessive eligible dividend designation.
If, in respect of an excessive eligible dividend designation that is not described in paragraph (1)(b) and that is made by a corporation in respect of an eligible dividend (in this subsection and subsection (3) referred to as the “original dividend”) paid by it at a particular time, the corporation would, if this Act were read without reference to this subsection, be required to pay a tax under subsection (1), and it elects in prescribed manner on or before the day that is 90 days after the day of sending the notice of assessment in respect of that tax that would otherwise be payable under subsection (1), the following rules apply:
notwithstanding the definition eligible dividend in subsection 89(1), the amount of the original dividend paid by the corporation is deemed to be the amount, if any, by which
the amount of the original dividend, determined without reference to this subsection
exceeds
the amount claimed by the corporation in the election not exceeding the excessive eligible dividend designation, determined without reference to this subsection;
an amount equal to the amount claimed by the corporation in the election is deemed to be a separate taxable dividend (other than an eligible dividend) that was paid by the corporation immediately before the particular time;
each shareholder of the corporation who at the particular time held any of the issued shares of the class of shares in respect of which the original dividend was paid is deemed
not to have received the original dividend, and
to have received at the particular time
as an eligible dividend, the shareholder’s pro rata portion of the amount of any dividend determined under paragraph (a), and
as a taxable dividend (other than an eligible dividend) the shareholder’s pro rata portion of the amount of any dividend determined under paragraph (b); and
a shareholder’s pro rata portion of a dividend paid at any time on a class of the shares of the capital stock of a corporation is that proportion of the dividend that the number of shares of that class held by the shareholder at that time is of the number of shares of that class outstanding at that time.
An election under subsection (2) in respect of an original dividend is valid only if
it is made with the concurrence of the corporation and all its shareholders
who received or were entitled to receive all or any portion of the original dividend, and
whose addresses were known to the corporation; and
either
it is made on or before the day that is 30 months after the day on which the original dividend was paid, or
each shareholder described in subparagraph (a)(i) concurs with the election, in which case, notwithstanding subsections 152(4) to (5), any assessment of the tax, interest and penalties payable by each of those shareholders for any taxation year shall be made that is necessary to take the corporation’s election into account.
If each shareholder who, in respect of an election made under subsection (2), is deemed by subsection (2) to have received a dividend at a particular time is also, at the particular time, a person all of whose taxable income is exempt from tax under Part I,
subsection (3) does not apply to the election; and
the election is valid only if it is made on or before the day that is 30 months after the day on which the original dividend was paid.
Every corporation resident in Canada that pays a taxable dividend (other than a capital gains dividend within the meaning assigned by subsection 130.1(4) or 131(1)) in a taxation year shall file with the Minister, not later than the corporation’s filing-due date for the taxation year, a return for the year under this Part in prescribed form containing an estimate of the taxes payable by it under this Part for the taxation year.
Subsections 150(2) and (3), sections 151, 152, 158 and 159, subsections 161(1) and (11), sections 162 to 167 and Division J of Part I are applicable to this Part with such modifications as the circumstances require.
Without limiting the liability of any person under any other provision of this Act, if a Canadian-controlled private corporation or a deposit insurance corporation pays an eligible dividend in respect of which it has made an excessive eligible dividend designation to a shareholder with whom it does not deal at arm’s length, the shareholder is jointly and severally, or solidarily, liable with the corporation to pay that proportion of the corporation’s tax payable under this Part because of the designation that the amount of the eligible dividend received by the shareholder is of the total of all amounts each of which is a dividend in respect of which the designation was made.
The Minister may, at any time after the last day on which a corporation may make an election under subsection 185.1(2) in respect of an excessive eligible dividend designation, assess a person in respect of any amount payable under subsection (3) in respect of the designation, and the provisions of Division I of Part I (including, for greater certainty, the provisions in respect of interest payable) apply, with any modifications that the circumstances require, to an assessment made under this subsection as though it were made under section 152.
If under subsection (3) a corporation and a shareholder have become jointly and severally, or solidarily, liable to pay part or all of the corporation’s tax payable under this Part in respect of an excessive eligible dividend designation described in subsection (3),
a payment at any time by the shareholder on account of the liability shall, to the extent of the payment, discharge their liability after that time; and
a payment at any time by the corporation on account of its liability shall discharge the shareholder’s liability only to the extent of the amount determined by the formula(A - B) × C/D where A is the total of the amount of the corporation’s liability, immediately before that time, under this Part in respect of the designation, and the amount of the payment, B is the amount of the corporation’s liability, immediately before that time, under this Act, C is the amount of the eligible dividend received by the shareholder, and D the total of all amounts each of which is a dividend in respect of which the designation was made.
Every corporation (in this section referred to as the “particular corporation”) that is at any time in a taxation year a private corporation or a subject corporation shall, on or before its balance-due day for the year, pay a tax under this Part for the year equal to the amount, if any, by which the total of
1/3 of all assessable dividends received by the particular corporation in the year from corporations other than payer corporations connected with it, and
all amounts, each of which is an amount in respect of an assessable dividend received by the particular corporation in the year from a private corporation or a subject corporation that was a payer corporation connected with the particular corporation, equal to that proportion of the payer corporation’s dividend refund (within the meaning assigned by paragraph 129(1)(a)) for its taxation year in which it paid the dividend that
the amount of the dividend received by the particular corporation
the total of all taxable dividends paid by the payer corporation in its taxation year in which it paid the dividend and at a time when it was a private corporation or a subject corporation
such part of the particular corporation’s non-capital loss and farm loss for the year as it claims, and
such part of the particular corporation’s
non-capital loss for any of its 20 taxation years immediately preceding or 3 taxation years immediately following the year, and
farm loss for any of its 20 taxation years immediately preceding or 3 taxation years immediately following the year
Notwithstanding subsection 186(1), where an assessable dividend was received by a corporation in a taxation year and was included in an amount in respect of which tax under Part IV.1 was payable by the corporation for the year, the tax otherwise payable under this Part by the corporation for the year shall be reduced
where the assessable dividend is described in paragraph 186(1)(a), by 10% of the assessable dividend, and
where the assessable dividend is described in paragraph 186(1)(b), by 30% of the amount determined under that paragraph in respect of the assessable dividend.
For the purposes of this Part, other than for the purpose of determining whether a corporation is a subject corporation, one corporation is controlled by another corporation if more than 50% of its issued share capital (having full voting rights under all circumstances) belongs to the other corporation, to persons with whom the other corporation does not deal at arm’s length, or to the other corporation and persons with whom the other corporation does not deal at arm’s length.
The definitions in this subsection apply in this Part.
assessable dividend means an amount received by a corporation at a time when it is a private corporation or a subject corporation as, on account of, in lieu of payment of or in satisfaction of, a taxable dividend from a corporation, to the extent of the amount in respect of the dividend that is deductible under section 112, paragraph 113(1)(a), (a.1), (b) or (d) or subsection 113(2) in computing the recipient corporation’s taxable income for the year.
subject corporation means a corporation (other than a private corporation) resident in Canada and controlled, whether because of a beneficial interest in one or more trusts or otherwise, by or for the benefit of an individual (other than a trust) or a related group of individuals (other than trusts).

the payer corporation is controlled (otherwise than by virtue of a right referred to in paragraph 251(5)(b)) by the particular corporation at that time; or
the particular corporation owned, at that time,
more than 10% of the issued share capital (having full voting rights under all circumstances) of the payer corporation, and
shares of the capital stock of the payer corporation having a fair market value of more than 10% of the fair market value of all of the issued shares of the capital stock of the payer corporation.
A corporation that is at any time in a taxation year a subject corporation shall, for the purposes of paragraph 87(2)(aa) and section 129, be deemed to be a private corporation at that time, except that its refundable dividend tax on hand (within the meaning assigned by subsection 129(3)) at the end of the year shall be determined without reference to paragraph 129(3)(a).
For the purposes of this Part,
all amounts received in a fiscal period by a partnership as, on account or in lieu of payment of, or in satisfaction of, taxable dividends shall be deemed to have been received by each member of the partnership in the member’s fiscal period or taxation year in which the partnership’s fiscal period ends, to the extent of that member’s share thereof; and
each member of a partnership shall be deemed to own at any time that proportion of the number of the shares of each class of the capital stock of a corporation that are property of the partnership at that time that the member’s share of all dividends received on those shares by the partnership in its fiscal period that includes that time is of the total of all those dividends.
For greater certainty, where a provision of this Act or the regulations indicates that the term connected has the meaning assigned by subsection 186(4), that meaning shall be determined by taking into account the application of subsection 186(2) unless the provision expressly provides otherwise.
No tax is payable under this Part for a taxation year by a corporation
that was, at any time in the year, a bankrupt (within the meaning assigned by subsection 128(3)); or

a registered securities dealer that was throughout the year a member, or a participating organization, of a designated stock exchange in Canada.
For the purposes of subsection 186(1), dividends received in a taxation year by a corporation that was, throughout the year, a prescribed venture capital corporation from a corporation that was a prescribed qualifying corporation with respect to those dividends shall be deemed not to be taxable dividends.
Every corporation that is liable to pay tax under this Part for a taxation year in respect of a dividend received by it in the year shall, on or before the day on or before which it is required to file its return of income under Part I for the year, file a return for the year under this Part in prescribed form.
Where a corporation is liable to pay tax under this Part and has failed to pay all or any part thereof on or before the day on or before which the tax was required to be paid, it shall pay to the Receiver General interest at the prescribed rate on the amount that it failed to pay computed from the day on or before which the tax was required to be paid to the day of payment.
Sections 151, 152, 158 and 159, subsections 161(7) and 161(11), sections 162 to 167 and Division J of Part I are applicable to this Part with such modifications as the circumstances require.

For the purposes of this Part,
all amounts received in a fiscal period by a partnership as, on account or in lieu of payment of, or in satisfaction of, dividends shall be deemed to have been received by each member of the partnership in the member’s fiscal period or taxation year in which the partnership’s fiscal period ends, to the extent of that member’s share thereof;

Every corporation liable to pay tax under this Part for a taxation year shall file with the Minister, not later than the day on or before which it is required by section 150 to file its return of income for the year under Part I, a return for the year under this Part in prescribed form containing an estimate of the taxes payable by it under sections 187.2 and 187.3 for the year.
Sections 152, 158 and 159, subsections 161(1), 161(2) and 161(11), sections 162 to 167 and Division J of Part I are applicable to this Part with such modifications as the circumstances require.
Section 27 applies to this Part with any modifications that the circumstances require.
The definitions in subsection 149.1(1) apply to this Part.
If on a particular day the Minister issues a notice of intention to revoke the registration of a taxpayer as a registered charity under any of subsections 149.1(2) to (4.1) and 168(1) or it is determined, under subsection 7(1) of the Charities Registration (Security Information) Act, that a certificate served in respect of the charity under subsection 5(1) of that Act is reasonable on the basis of information and evidence available,
the taxation year of the charity that would otherwise have included that day is deemed to end at the end of that day;
a new taxation year of the charity is deemed to begin immediately after that day; and
for the purpose of determining the charity’s fiscal period after that day, the charity is deemed not to have established a fiscal period before that day.
A charity referred to in subsection (1) is liable to a tax, for its taxation year that is deemed to have ended, equal to the amount determined by the formula A - B where A is the total of all amounts, each of which is the fair market value of a property of the charity at the end of that taxation year, the amount of an appropriation (within the meaning assigned by subsection (2)) in respect of a property transferred to another person in the 120-day period that ended at the end of that taxation year, or the income of the charity for its winding-up period, including gifts received by the charity in that period from any source and any income that would be computed under section 3 as if that period were a taxation year; and B is the total of all amounts (other than the amount of an expenditure in respect of which a deduction has been made in computing income for the winding-up period under paragraph (c) of the description of A), each of which is a debt of the charity that is outstanding at the end of that taxation year, an expenditure made by the charity during the winding-up period on charitable activities carried on by it, or an amount in respect of a property transferred by the charity during the winding-up period and not later than the latter of one year from the end of the taxation year and the day, if any, referred to in paragraph (1.2)(c), to a person that was at the time of the transfer an eligible donee in respect of the charity, equal to the amount, if any, by which the fair market value of the property, when transferred, exceeds the consideration given by the person for the transfer.
In this Part, the winding-up period of a charity is the period that begins immediately after the day on which the Minister issues a notice of intention to revoke the registration of a taxpayer as a registered charity under any of subsections 149.1(2) to (4.1) and 168(1) (or, if earlier, immediately after the day on which it is determined, under subsection 7(1) of the Charities Registration (Security Information) Act, that a certificate served in respect of the charity under subsection 5(1) of that Act is reasonable on the basis of information and evidence available), and that ends on the day that is the latest of
the day, if any, on which the charity files a return under subsection 189(6.1) for the taxation year deemed by subsection (1) to have ended, but not later than the day on which the charity is required to file that return,
the day on which the Minister last issues a notice of assessment of tax payable under subsection (1.1) for that taxation year by the charity, and
if the charity has filed a notice of objection or appeal in respect of that assessment, the day on which the Minister may take a collection action under section 225.1 in respect of that tax payable.
In this Part, an eligible donee in respect of a particular charity is a registered charity
of which more than 50% of the members of the board of directors or trustees of the registered charity deal at arm’s length with each member of the board of directors or trustees of the particular charity;
that is not the subject of a suspension under subsection 188.2(1);
that is not the subject of a certificate under subsection 5(1) of the Charities Registration (Security Information) Act or, if it is the subject of such a certificate, the certificate has been determined under subsection 7(1) of that Act not to be reasonable.
that has filed all information returns required by subsection 149.1(14); and
that has no unpaid liabilities under this Act or under the Excise Tax Act;
In this Part, an eligible donee in respect of a particular Canadian amateur athletic association is a registered Canadian amateur athletic association
of which more than 50% of the members of the board of directors or trustees of the registered Canadian amateur athletic association deal at arm’s length with each member of the board of directors or trustees of the particular Canadian amateur athletic association;
that is not the subject of a suspension under subsection 188.2(1);
that has no unpaid liabilities under this Act or under the Excise Tax Act; and
that has filed all information returns required by subsection 149.1(14).
A person who, after the time that is 120 days before the end of the taxation year of a charity that is deemed by subsection (1) to have ended, receives property from the charity, is jointly and severally, or solidarily, liable with the charity for the tax payable under subsection (1.1) by the charity for that taxation year for an amount not exceeding the total of all appropriations, each of which is the amount by which the fair market value of such a property at the time it was so received by the person exceeds the consideration given by the person in respect of the property.
Subsections (1) and (1.1) do not apply to a charity in respect of a notice of intention to revoke given under any of subsections 149.1(2) to (4.1) and 168(1) if the Minister abandons the intention and so notifies the charity or if
within the one-year period that begins immediately after the taxation year of the charity otherwise deemed by subsection (1) to have ended, the Minister has registered the charity as a charitable organization, private foundation or public foundation; and
the charity has, before the time that the Minister has so registered the charity,
paid all amounts, each of which is an amount for which the charity is liable under this Act (other than subsection (1.1)) or the Excise Tax Act in respect of taxes, penalties and interest, and
filed all information returns required by or under this Act to be filed on or before that time.
Where, as a result of a transaction or series of transactions, property owned by a registered charity that is a charitable foundation and having a net value greater than 50% of the net asset amount of the charitable foundation immediately before the transaction or series of transactions, as the case may be, is transferred before the end of a taxation year, directly or indirectly, to one or more charitable organizations and it may reasonably be considered that the main purpose of the transfer is to effect a reduction in the disbursement quota of the foundation, the foundation shall pay a tax under this Part for the year equal to the amount by which 25% of the net value of that property determined as of the day of its transfer exceeds the total of all amounts each of which is its tax payable under this subsection for a preceding taxation year in respect of the transaction or series of transactions.
Subsection (3) does not apply to a transfer that is a gift to which subsection 188.1(11) or (12) applies.
If property has been transferred to a charitable organization in circumstances described in subsection (3) and it may reasonably be considered that the organization acted in concert with a charitable foundation for the purpose of reducing the disbursement quota of the foundation, the organization is jointly and severally, or solidarily, liable with the foundation for the tax imposed on the foundation by that subsection in an amount not exceeding the net value of the property.
In this section,
net asset amount of a charitable foundation at any time means the amount determined by the formula A - B where A is the fair market value at that time of all the property owned by the foundation at that time, and B is the total of all amounts each of which is the amount of a debt owing by or any other obligation of the foundation at that time;
net value of property owned by a charitable foundation, as of the day of its transfer, means the amount determined by the formula A - B where A is the fair market value of the property on that day, and B is the amount of any consideration given to the foundation for the transfer.
Subject to subsection (2), a person is liable to a penalty under this Part equal to 5% of its gross revenue for a taxation year from any business that it carries on in the taxation year, if
the person is a registered charity that is a private foundation;
the person is a registered charity that is not a private foundation and the business is not a related business in relation to the charity; or
the person is a registered Canadian amateur athletic association and the business is not a related business in relation to the association.
A person that, less than five years before a particular time, was assessed a liability under subsection (1) or this subsection, for a taxation year, is liable to a penalty under this Part equal to its gross revenue for a subsequent taxation year from any business that, after that assessment and in the subsequent taxation year, it carries on at the particular time if
the person is a registered charity that is a private foundation;
the person is a registered charity that is not a private foundation and the business is not a related business in relation to the charity; or
the person is a registered Canadian amateur athletic association and the business is not a related business in relation to the association.
If at a particular time a charitable foundation has acquired control (within the meaning of subsection 149.1(12)) of a particular corporation, the foundation is liable to a penalty under this Part for a taxation year equal to
5% of the total of all amounts, each of which is a dividend received by the foundation from the particular corporation in the taxation year and at a time when the foundation so controlled the particular corporation, except if the foundation is liable under paragraph (b) for a penalty in respect of the dividend; or
if the Minister has, less than five years before the particular time, assessed a liability under paragraph (a) or this paragraph for a preceding taxation year of the foundation in respect of a dividend received from any corporation, the total of all amounts, each of which is a dividend received, after the particular time, by the foundation, from the particular corporation, in the taxation year and at a time when the foundation so controlled the particular corporation.
A private foundation is liable to a penalty under this Part for a taxation year, in respect of a class of shares of the capital stock of a corporation, equal to
5% of the amount, if any, determined by multiplying the divestment obligation percentage of the private foundation for the taxation year in respect of the class by the total fair market value of all of the issued and outstanding shares of the class, except if the private foundation is liable for the taxation year under paragraph (b) for a penalty in respect of the class; or
10% of the amount, if any, determined by multiplying the divestment obligation percentage of the private foundation for the taxation year in respect of the class by the total fair market value of all of the issued and outstanding shares of the class, if
the private foundation has failed to disclose, in its return required under subsection 149.1(14) for the taxation year,
a material transaction, in the taxation year, of the private foundation in respect of the class,
a material interest held at the end of the taxation year by a relevant person in respect of the private foundation, or
the total corporate holdings percent-age of the private foundation in respect of the class at the end of the taxation year, unless at no time in the taxation year the private foundation held greater than an insignificant interest in respect of the class, or
the Minister has, less than five years before the end of the taxation year, assessed a liability under paragraph (a) or this paragraph for a preceding taxation year of the private foundation in respect of any divestment obligation percentage.
If, at the end of a taxation year, a private foundation would — but for a transaction or series of transactions entered into by the private foundation or a relevant person in respect of the private foundation (in this subsection referred to as the “holder”) a result of which is that the holder holds, directly or indirectly, an interest (or for civil law, a right), in a corporation other than shares — have a divestment obligation percentage for that taxation year in respect of the private foundation’s holdings of a class of shares of the capital stock of the corporation, and it can reasonably be considered that a purpose of the transaction or series is to avoid that divestment obligation percentage by substituting shares of the class for that interest or right, for the purposes of applying this section, subsection 149.1(1) and section 149.2,
each of those interests or rights is deemed to have been converted, immediately after the time it was first held, directly or indirectly by the holder, into that number of shares of that class that would, if those shares were shares of the class that were issued by the corporation, have a fair market value equal to the fair market value of the interest or right at that time;
each such share is deemed to be a share that is issued by the corporation and outstanding and to continue to be held by the holder until such time as the holder no longer holds the interest or right; and
each of those shares is deemed to have a fair market value, at the particular time, equal to the fair market value, at the particular time, of a share of the class issued by the corporation, determined without reference to this subsection.
Subsection (3.5) applies to a private foundation at a particular time in a taxation year if
at the particular time, a person (in this subsection and subsection (3.5) referred to as an “insider” of the private foundation) that is the private foundation, or is a relevant person in respect of the private foundation, is a beneficiary under a trust;
at or before the particular time
the insider acquired an interest in or under the trust, or
the trust acquired a property;
it may reasonably be considered that a purpose of the acquisition described in paragraph (b) was to hold, directly or indirectly, shares of a class of the capital stock of a corporation (referred to in subsection (3.5) as the “subject corporation”);
the shares described in paragraph (c) would, if they were held by the insider, cause the private foundation to have a divestment obligation percentage for the taxation year; and
at the particular time, the insider holds the interest described in subparagraph (b)(i), or the trust holds the property described in subparagraph (b)(ii), as the case may be.
For the purpose of subsections (3.3) and (3.5),
interests (or, for civil law, rights), other than shares, of a trust in a corporation that entitle the trust to a right described in paragraph 251(5)(b) in respect of a class of the capital stock of the corporation, are deemed to be converted into shares of that class in the manner described by paragraph (3.2)(a); and
if the amount of income or capital of the trust that a person may receive as a beneficiary under the trust depends on the exercise by any person of, or the failure by any person to exercise, a discretionary power, that person is deemed to have fully exercised, or to have failed to exercise, the power, as the case may be.
If this subsection applies to a private foundation at a particular time in respect of an interest of an insider of the private foundation in a trust, for the purposes of applying this section, subsection 149.1(1) and section 149.2,
the insider is deemed to hold at the particular time, in addition to any shares of the capital stock of the subject corporation that it holds otherwise than because of this subsection, the number of shares, of the class of shares referred to in paragraph (3.3)(c), determined by the formula A × B/C where A is the number of shares of that class that are held, directly or indirectly, by the trust at the particular time, B is the total fair market value of all interests held by the insider in the trust at the particular time, and C is the total fair market value of all property held by the trust at the particular time;
each of those shares is deemed to be a share that is issued by the subject corporation and outstanding and to continue to be held by the holder until such time as the holder no longer holds the interest or right; and
each of those shares is deemed to have a fair market value, at the particular time, equal to the fair market value, at the particular time, of a share of the class issued by the subject corporation, determined without reference to this subsection.
A registered charity or registered Canadian amateur athletic association that, at a particular time in a taxation year, confers on a person an undue benefit is liable to a penalty under this Part for the taxation year equal to
105% of the amount of the benefit, except if the charity or association is liable under paragraph (b) for a penalty in respect of the benefit; or
if the Minister has, less than five years before the particular time, assessed a liability under paragraph (a) or this paragraph for a preceding taxation year of the charity or association and the undue benefit was conferred after that assessment, 110% of the amount of the benefit.
For the purposes of this Part, an undue benefit conferred on a person (referred to in this Part as the “beneficiary”) by a registered charity or registered Canadian amateur athletic association includes a disbursement by way of a gift or the amount of any part of the income, rights, property or resources of the charity or association that is paid, payable, assigned or otherwise made available for the personal benefit of any person who is a proprietor, member, shareholder, trustee or settlor of the charity or association, who has contributed or otherwise paid into the charity or association more than 50% of the capital of the charity or association, or who deals not at arm’s length with such a person or with the charity or association, as well as any benefit conferred on a beneficiary by another person, at the direction or with the consent of the charity or association, that would, if it were not conferred on the beneficiary, be an amount in respect of which the charity or association would have a right, but does not include a disbursement or benefit to the extent that it is
an amount that is reasonable consideration or remuneration for property acquired by or services rendered to the charity or association;
a gift made, or a benefit conferred,
in the case of a registered charity, in the course of a charitable act in the ordinary course of the charitable activities carried on by the charity, unless it can reasonably be considered that the eligibility of the beneficiary for the benefit relates solely to the relationship of the beneficiary to the charity, and
in the case of a registered Canadian amateur athletic association, in the ordinary course of promoting amateur athletics in Canada on a nationwide basis; or
a gift to a qualified donee.
Every registered charity and registered Canadian amateur athletic association that fails to file a return for a taxation year as and when required by subsection 149.1(14) is liable to a penalty equal to $500.
Except where subsection (8) or (9) applies, every registered charity and registered Canadian amateur athletic association that issues, in a taxation year, a receipt for a gift otherwise than in accordance with this Act and the regulations is liable for the taxation year to a penalty equal to 5% of the amount reported on the receipt as representing the amount in respect of which a taxpayer may claim a deduction under subsection 110.1(1) or a credit under subsection 118.1(3).
Except where subsection (9) applies, if the Minister has, less than five years before a particular time, assessed a penalty under subsection (7) or this subsection for a taxation year of a registered charity or registered Canadian amateur athletic association and, after that assessment and in a subsequent taxation year, the charity or association issues, at the particular time, a receipt for a gift otherwise than in accordance with this Act and the regulations, the charity or association is liable for the subsequent taxation year to a penalty equal to 10% of the amount reported on the receipt as representing the amount in respect of which a taxpayer may claim a deduction under subsection 110.1(1) or a credit under subsection 118.1(3).
If at any time a person makes or furnishes, participates in the making of or causes another person to make or furnish a statement that the person knows, or would reasonably be expected to know but for circumstances amounting to culpable conduct (within the meaning assigned by subsection 163.2(1)), is a false statement (within the meaning assigned by subsection 163.2(1)) on a receipt issued by, on behalf of or in the name of another person for the purposes of subsection 110.1(2) or 118.1(2), the person (or, where the person is an officer, employee, official or agent of a registered charity or registered Canadian amateur athletic association, the charity or association) is liable for their taxation year that includes that time to a penalty equal to 125% of the amount reported on the receipt as representing the amount in respect of which a taxpayer may claim a deduction under subsection 110.1(1) or a credit under subsection 118.1(3).
A person who is liable at any time to penalties under both section 163.2 and subsection (9) in respect of the same false statement is liable to pay only the greater of those penalties.
If, in a taxation year, a registered charity has entered into a transaction (including a gift to another registered charity) and it may reasonably be considered that a purpose of the transaction was to avoid or unduly delay the expenditure of amounts on charitable activities, the registered charity is liable to a penalty under this Act for its taxation year equal to 110% of the amount of expenditure avoided or delayed, and in the case of a gift to another registered charity, both charities are jointly and severally, or solidarily, liable to the penalty.
If a registered charity has in a taxation year received a gift of property (other than a designated gift) from another registered charity with which it does not deal at arm’s length and it has expended, before the end of the next taxation year, in addition to its disbursement quota for each of those taxation years, an amount that is less than the fair market value of the property, on charitable activities carried on by it or by way of gifts made to qualified donees with which it deals at arm’s length, the registered charity is liable to a penalty under this Act for that subsequent taxation year equal to 110% of the difference between the fair market value of the property and the additional amount expended.
The Minister shall, with an assessment referred to in this subsection, give notice by registered mail to a registered charity or registered Canadian amateur athletic association that the authority of the charity or association to issue an official receipt referred to in Part XXXV of the Income Tax Regulations is suspended for one year from the day that is seven days after the day on which the notice is mailed, if the Minister has assessed the charity or association for a taxation year for
a penalty under subsection 188.1(2);
a penalty under paragraph 188.1(4)(b) in respect of an undue benefit, other than an undue benefit conferred by the charity or association by way of a gift; or
a penalty under subsection 188.1(9) if the total of all such penalties for the taxation year exceeds $25,000.
The Minister may give notice by registered mail to a person referred to in any of paragraphs (a) to (c) of the definition qualified donee in subsection 149.1(1) that the authority of the person to issue an official receipt referred to in Part XXXV of the Income Tax Regulations is suspended for one year from the day that is seven days after the day on which the notice is mailed
if the person contravenes any of sections 230 to 231.5;
if it may reasonably be considered that the person has acted, in concert with another person that is the subject of a suspension under this section, to accept a gift or transfer of property on behalf of that other person;
in the case of a person referred to in paragraph (a) of the definition qualified donee in subsection 149.1(1), if the person has issued a receipt for a gift otherwise than in accordance with this Act and the regulations;
in the case of a person that is a registered charity or registered Canadian amateur athletic association, if an ineligible individual is a director, trustee, officer or like official of the person, or controls or manages the person, directly or indirectly, in any manner whatever;
in the case of a registered charity that is a charitable foundation, if the foundation devotes resources to political activities that are not considered under subsection 149.1(6.1) to be devoted to charitable purposes;
in the case of a registered charity that is a charitable organization, if the organization devotes resources to political activities that are not considered under subsection 149.1(6.2) to be devoted to charitable activities; or
in the case of a registered Canadian amateur athletic association, if the association devotes resources to political activities that are not considered under subsection 149.1(6.201) to be devoted to its exclusive purpose and exclusive function.
If a registered charity or a registered Canadian amateur athletic association fails to report information that is required to be included in a return filed under subsection 149.1(14), the Minister may give notice by registered mail to the charity or association that its authority to issue an official receipt referred to in Part XXXV of the Income Tax Regulations is suspended from the day that is seven days after the day on which the notice is mailed until such time as the Minister notifies the charity or association that the Minister has received the required information in prescribed form.
If the Minister has issued a notice to a qualified donee under any of subsections (1) to (2.1), subject to subsection (4),
the qualified donee is deemed, in respect of gifts made and property transferred to the qualified donee within the one-year period that begins on the day that is seven days after the day on which the notice is mailed, not to be a qualified donee for the purposes of subsections 110.1(1) and 118.1(1) and Part XXXV of the Income Tax Regulations; and
if the qualified donee is, during that period, offered a gift from any person, the qualified donee shall, before accepting the gift, inform that person that
it has received the notice,
no deduction under subsection 110.1(1) or credit under subsection 118.1(3) may be claimed in respect of a gift made to it in the period, and
a gift made to it in the period is not a gift to a qualified donee.
If a notice of objection to a suspension under any of subsections (1) to (2.1) has been filed by a qualified donee, the qualified donee may file an application to the Tax Court of Canada for a postponement of that portion of the period of suspension that has not elapsed until the time determined by the Court.
The Tax Court of Canada may grant an application for postponement only if it would be just and equitable to do so.
Where at any particular time in a taxation year a debt (other than a debt in respect of which subsection 80.4(1) applies or would apply but for subsection 80.4(3)) is owing by a taxpayer to a registered charity that is a private foundation and at that time the debt was a non-qualified investment of the foundation, the taxpayer shall pay a tax under this Part for the year equal to the amount, if any, by which
the amount that would be payable as interest on that debt for the period in the year during which it was outstanding and was a non-qualified investment of the foundation if the interest were payable at such prescribed rates as are in effect from time to time during the period
the amount of interest for the year paid on that debt by the taxpayer not later than 30 days after the end of the year.
For the purpose of paragraph 189(1)(a), where a debt in respect of which subsection 189(1) applies (other than a share or right that is deemed by subsection 189(3) to be a debt) is owing by a taxpayer to a private foundation, interest on that debt for the period referred to in that paragraph shall be computed at the least of
such prescribed rates as are in effect from time to time during the period,
the rate per annum of interest on that debt that, having regard to all the circumstances (including the terms and conditions of the debt), would have been agreed on, at the time the debt was incurred, had the taxpayer and the foundation been dealing with each other at arm’s length and had the ordinary business of the foundation been the lending of money, and
where that debt was incurred before April 22, 1982, a rate per annum equal to 6% plus 2% for each calendar year after 1982 and before the taxation year referred to in subsection 189(1).
For the purpose of subsection 189(1), where a share, or a right to acquire a share, of the capital stock of a corporation held by a private foundation at any particular time during the corporation’s taxation year was at that time a non-qualified investment of the foundation, the share or right shall be deemed to be a debt owing at that time by the corporation to the foundation
the amount of which was equal to,
in the case of a share or right last acquired before April 22, 1982, the greater of its fair market value on April 21, 1982 and its cost amount to the foundation at the particular time, or
in any other case, its cost amount to the foundation at the particular time,
that was outstanding throughout the period for which the share or right was held by the foundation during the year, and
in respect of which the amount of interest paid in the year is equal to the total of all amounts each of which is the amount of a dividend received on the share by the foundation in the year,
For the purposes of subsection 189(3), where a share or right in respect of which that subsection applies was last acquired before April 22, 1982, the reference therein to “2/3 of such prescribed rates as are in effect from time to time during the period” shall be read as a reference to “the lesser of
a rate per annum equal to 4% plus 1% for each 5 calendar years contained in the period commencing after 1982 and ending before the particular time, and

For the purpose of subsection 189(3), where a share or right is acquired by a charity in exchange for another share or right in a transaction after April 21, 1982 to which section 51, 85, 85.1, 86 or 87 applies, it shall be deemed to be the same share or right as the one for which it was substituted.
Every taxpayer who is liable to pay tax under this Part (except a charity that is liable to pay tax under section 188(1)) for a taxation year shall, on or before the day on or before which the taxpayer is, or would be if tax were payable by the taxpayer under Part I for the year, required to file a return of income or an information return under Part I for the year,

pay to the Receiver General the amount of tax payable by the taxpayer under this Part for the year.
Every taxpayer who is liable to pay tax under subsection 188(1.1) for a taxation year shall, on or before the day that is one year from the end of the taxation year, and without notice or demand,

the amount, if any, by which
the total of all amounts, each of which is an expenditure made by the charity, on charitable activities carried on by it, before the particular time and during the period (referred to in this subsection as the “post-assessment period”) that begins immediately after a notice of the latest such assessment was sent and ends at the end of the one-year period
the income of the charity for the post-assessment period, including gifts received by the charity in that period from any source and any income that would be computed under section 3 if that period were a taxation year, and
all amounts, each of which is an amount, in respect of a property transferred by the charity before the particular time and during the post-assessment period to a person that was at the time of the transfer an eligible donee in respect of the charity, equal to the amount, if any, by which the fair market value of the property, when transferred, exceeds the consideration given by the person for the transfer.
If the Minister has assessed a particular person in respect of the particular person’s liability for penalties under section 188.1 for a taxation year, and that liability exceeds $1,000, that liability is, at any particular time, reduced by the total of all amounts, each of which is an amount, in respect of a property transferred by the particular person after the day on which the Minister first assessed that liability and before the particular time to another person that was at the time of the transfer an eligible donee in respect of the particular person, equal to the amount, if any, by which the fair market value of the property, when transferred, exceeds the total of
the consideration given by the other person for the transfer, and
the part of the amount in respect of the transfer that has resulted in a reduction of an amount otherwise payable under subsection 188(1.1).

Subsections 150(2) and (3), sections 152 and 158, subsection 161(11), sections 162 to 167 and Division J of Part I apply in respect of an amount assessed under this Part and of a notice of suspension under subsection 188.2(1) or (2) as if the notice were a notice of assessment made under section 152, with any modifications that the circumstances require including, for greater certainty, that a notice of suspension that is reconsidered or reassessed may be confirmed or vacated, but not varied, except that
section 162 does not apply in respect of a return required to be filed under paragraph (6.1)(a); and
the reference in each of subsections 165(2) and 166.1(3) to the expression “Chief of Appeals in a District Office or a Taxation Centre” is to be read as a reference to the expression “Assistant Commissioner, Appeals Branch”.
For greater certainty, in applying the provisions referred to in subsection (8), with any modifications that the circumstances require,
a notice of objection referred to in subsection 168(4) does not constitute a notice of objection to a tax assessed under subsection 188(1.1); and
an issue that could have been the subject of a notice of objection referred to in subsection 168(4) may not be appealed to the Tax Court of Canada under subsection 169(1).
Subsection 161(11) does not apply to a liability of a taxpayer for a taxation year
under subsection 188(1.1) to the extent that the liability is reduced by subsection (6.2), or paid, before the end of the one-year period that begins immediately after the end of the taxation year deemed to have ended by paragraph 188(1)(a); or
under section 188.1 to the extent that the liability is reduced by subsection (6.3), or paid, before the end of the one-year period that begins immediately after the liability was first assessed.

if the bank were a bank listed in Schedule II to the Bank Act, would be required under the risk-based capital adequacy guidelines issued by the Superintendent of Financial Institutions and applicable at that time to be deducted from the bank’s capital in determining the amount of capital available to satisfy the Superintendent’s requirement that capital equal a particular proportion of risk-weighted assets and exposures, and
is not an amount in respect of a loss protection facility required to be deducted from capital under the Superintendent’s guidelines respecting asset securitization applicable at that time.
A corporation’s investment for a taxation year in a financial institution related to it is
in the case of a corporation that was resident in Canada at any time in the year, the total of all amounts each of which is the carrying value (or in the case of contributed surplus, the amount) at the end of the year of an eligible investment of the corporation in the financial institution;

in the case of a corporation that is an authorized foreign bank, the total of all amounts each of which is the amount at the end of the year, before the application of risk weights, that would be required to be reported under the OSFI risk-weighting guidelines if those guidelines applied and required a report at that time, of an eligible investment of the corporation in the financial institution that was used or held by the corporation in the year in the course of carrying on its Canadian banking business or, in the case of an eligible investment that is contributed surplus of the financial institution at the end of the year, the amount of the surplus contributed by the corporation in the course of carrying on that business.
For the purpose of subsection (1), an eligible investment of a corporation in a financial institution is a share of the capital stock or long-term debt (and, where the corporation is an insurance corporation, is non-segregated property within the meaning assigned by subsection 138(12)) of the financial institution or any surplus of the financial institution contributed by the corporation (other than an amount otherwise included as a share or debt) if the financial institution at the end of the year is

For the purposes of this Part, the capital deduction of a corporation for a taxation year during which it was at any time a financial institution is $1 billion unless the corporation was related to another financial institution at the end of the year, in which case, subject to subsection (4), its capital deduction for the year is nil.
A corporation that is a financial institution at any time during a taxation year and that was related to another financial institution at the end of the year may file with the Minister an agreement in prescribed form on behalf of the related group of which the corporation is a member under which an amount that does not exceed $1 billion is allocated among the members of the related group for the taxation year.
The Minister may request a corporation that is a financial institution at any time during a taxation year and that was related to any other financial institution at the end of the year to file with the Minister an agreement referred to in subsection (2) and, if the corporation does not file such an agreement within 30 days after receiving the request, the Minister may allocate an amount among the members of the related group of which the corporation is a member for the year not exceeding $1 billion.
For the purposes of this Part, the least amount allocated for a taxation year to each member of a related group under an agreement described in subsection 190.15(2) or by the Minister pursuant to subsection 190.15(3) is the capital deduction for the taxation year of that member, but, if no such allocation is made, the capital deduction of each member of the related group for that year is nil.
Where a corporation (in this subsection referred to as the “first corporation”) has more than one taxation year ending in the same calendar year and is related in 2 or more of those taxation years to another corporation that has a taxation year ending in that calendar year, the capital deduction of the first corporation for each such taxation year at the end of which it is related to the other corporation is, for the purposes of this Part, an amount equal to its capital deduction for the first such taxation year.
Two corporations that would, but for this subsection, be related to each other solely because of
the control of any corporation by Her Majesty in right of Canada or a province, or
a right referred to in paragraph 251(5)(b),
are, for the purposes of this section and section 190.14, deemed not to be related to each other except that, where at any time a taxpayer has a right referred to in paragraph 251(5)(b) with respect to shares and it can reasonably be considered that one of the main purposes for the acquisition of the right was to avoid any limitation on the amount of a corporation’s capital deduction for a taxation year, for the purpose of determining whether a corporation is related to any other corporation, the corporations are, for the purpose of this section, deemed to be in the same position in relation to each other as if the right were immediate and absolute and as if the taxpayer had exercised the right at that time.

and the terms or conditions of the share or the agreement in respect of the share specify an amount in respect of the share, including an amount for which the share is to be redeemed, acquired or cancelled (together with, where so provided, any accrued and unpaid dividends thereon) and where paragraph 191(4)(a) applies, the specified amount does not exceed the fair market value of the consideration for which the share was issued, and where paragraph 191(4)(b) or 191(4)(c) applies, the specified amount does not exceed the fair market value of the share immediately before the particular time, the amount of any dividend deemed to have been paid on a redemption, acquisition or cancellation of the share to which subsection 84(2) or 84(3) applies shall
for the purposes of this Part and section 187.2, be deemed to be an excluded dividend and an excepted dividend, respectively, unless
where paragraph 191(4)(a) applies, the share was issued for consideration that included a taxable preferred share, or
where paragraph 191(4)(b) or 191(4)(c) applies, the share was, immediately before the particular time, a taxable preferred share, and
be deemed not to be a dividend to which subsection 112(2.1) or 138(6) applies to deny a deduction with respect to the dividend in computing the taxable income of a corporation under subsection 112(1) or 112(2) or 138(6), unless
where paragraph 191(4)(a) applies, the share was issued for consideration that included a term preferred share or for the purpose of raising capital or as part of a series of transactions or events the purpose of which was to raise capital, and
where paragraph 191(4)(b) or 191(4)(c) applies, the share was, immediately before the particular time, a term preferred share, or the terms or conditions of the share were changed, or the agreement in respect of the share was changed or entered into for the purpose of raising capital or as part of a series of transactions or events the purpose of which was to raise capital.
Subsection (4) does not apply to the extent that the total of
the amount paid on the redemption, acquisition or cancellation of the share, and
all amounts each of which is an amount (other than an amount deemed by subsection 84(4) to be a dividend) paid, after the particular time and before the redemption, acquisition or cancellation of the share, on a reduction of the paid-up capital of the corporation in respect of the share
exceeds the specified amount referred to in subsection (4).
If at any time a corporation pays a dividend to a partnership, the corporation is, for the purposes of this subsection and paragraph (a) of the definition excluded dividend in subsection (1), deemed to have paid at that time to each member of the partnership a dividend equal to the amount determined by the formula A × B where A is the amount of the dividend paid to the partnership; and B is the member’s specified proportion for the last fiscal period of the partnership that ended before that time (or, if the partnership’s first fiscal period includes that time, for that first fiscal period).
Every taxable Canadian corporation shall pay a tax under this Part for each taxation year equal to the amount, if any, by which
the total of
the amount determined by multiplying the amount by which the total of all taxable dividends (other than excluded dividends) paid by the corporation in the year and after 1987 on short-term preferred shares exceeds the corporation’s dividend allowance for the year, by
50% for dividends paid in a taxation year that ends before 2010,
45% for dividends paid in a taxation year that ends after 2009 and before 2012,
40% for dividends paid in a taxation year that ends after 2011,
40% of the amount, if any, by which the total of all taxable dividends (other than excluded dividends) paid by the corporation in the year and after 1987 on taxable preferred shares (other than short-term preferred shares) of all classes in respect of which an election under subsection 191.2(1) has been made exceeds the amount, if any, by which the corporation’s dividend allowance for the year exceeds the total of the dividends referred to in subparagraph 191.1(1)(a)(i),
25% of the amount, if any, by which the total of all taxable dividends (other than excluded dividends) paid by the corporation in the year and after 1987 on taxable preferred shares (other than short-term preferred shares) of all classes in respect of which an election under subsection 191.2(1) has not been made exceeds the amount, if any, by which the corporation’s dividend allowance for the year exceeds the total of the dividends referred to in subparagraphs 191.1(1)(a)(i) and 191.1(1)(a)(ii), and
the total of all amounts each of which is an amount determined for the year in respect of the corporation under paragraph 191.3(1)(d)
exceeds
the total of all amounts each of which is an amount determined for the year in respect of the corporation under paragraph 191.3(1)(c).
For the purposes of this section, a taxable Canadian corporation’s dividend allowance for a taxation year is the amount, if any, by which
$500,000
exceeds
the amount, if any, by which the total of taxable dividends (other than excluded dividends) paid by it on taxable preferred shares, or shares that would be taxable preferred shares if they were issued after June 18, 1987 and were not grandfathered shares, in the calendar year immediately preceding the calendar year in which the taxation year ended exceeds $1,000,000,
unless the corporation is associated in the taxation year with one or more other taxable Canadian corporations, in which case, except as otherwise provided in this section, its dividend allowance for the year is nil.
If all of the taxable Canadian corporations that are associated with each other in a taxation year and that have paid taxable dividends (other than excluded dividends) on taxable preferred shares in the year have filed with the Minister in prescribed form an agreement whereby, for the purposes of this section, they allocate an amount to one or more of them for the taxation year, and the amount so allocated or the total of the amounts so allocated, as the case may be, is equal to the total dividend allowance for the year of those corporations and all other taxable Canadian corporations with which each such corporation is associated in the year, the dividend allowance for the year for each of the corporations is the amount so allocated to it.
For the purposes of this section, the total dividend allowance of a group of taxable Canadian corporations that are associated with each other in a taxation year is the amount, if any, by which
$500,000
exceeds
the amount, if any, by which the total of taxable dividends (other than excluded dividends) paid by those corporations on taxable preferred shares, or shares that would be taxable preferred shares if they were issued after June 18, 1987 and were not grandfathered shares, in the calendar year immediately preceding the calendar year in which the taxation year ended exceeds $1,000,000.
If any of the taxable Canadian corporations that are associated with each other in a taxation year and that have paid taxable dividends (other than excluded dividends) on taxable preferred shares in the year has failed to file with the Minister an agreement as contemplated by subsection 191.1(3) within 30 days after notice in writing by the Minister has been forwarded to any of them that such an agreement is required for the purpose of any assessment of tax under this Part, the Minister shall, for the purpose of this section, allocate an amount to one or more of them for the taxation year, which amount or the total of which amounts, as the case may be, shall equal the total dividend allowance for the year for those corporations and all other taxable Canadian corporations with which each such corporation is associated in the year, and the dividend allowance for the year of each of the corporations is the amount so allocated to it.
Notwithstanding any other provision of this section,
where a corporation has a taxation year that is less than 51 weeks, its dividend allowance for the year is that proportion of its dividend allowance for the year determined without reference to this paragraph that the number of days in the year is of 365; and
where a taxable Canadian corporation (in this paragraph referred to as the “first corporation”) has more than one taxation year ending in a calendar year and is associated in two or more of those taxation years with another taxable Canadian corporation that has a taxation year ending in that calendar year, the dividend allowance of the first corporation for each taxation year in which it is associated with the other corporation ending in that calendar year is, subject to the application of paragraph 191.1(6)(a), an amount equal to the amount that would be its dividend allowance for the first such taxation year if the allowance were determined without reference to paragraph 191.1(6)(a).
For the purposes of determining the tax payable by reason of subparagraphs 191.1(1)(a)(ii) and 191.1(1)(a)(iii), a taxable Canadian corporation (other than a financial intermediary corporation or a private holding corporation) may make an election with respect to a class of its taxable preferred shares the terms and conditions of which require an election to be made under this subsection by filing a prescribed form with the Minister
not later than the day on or before which its return of income under Part I is required by section 150 to be filed for the taxation year in which shares of that class are first issued or first become taxable preferred shares; or
within the 6 month period commencing on any of the following days, namely,
the day of sending of any notice of assessment of tax payable under this Part or Part I by the corporation for that year,
where the corporation has served a notice of objection to an assessment described in subparagraph (i), the day of sending of a notice that the Minister has confirmed or varied the assessment,
where the corporation has instituted an appeal in respect of an assessment described in subparagraph 191.2(1)(b)(i) to the Tax Court of Canada, the day of mailing of a copy of the decision of the Court to the taxpayer, and
where the corporation has instituted an appeal in respect of an assessment described in subparagraph 191.2(1)(b)(i) to the Federal Court of Appeal or the Supreme Court of Canada, the day on which the judgment of the Court is pronounced or delivered or the day on which the corporation discontinues the appeal.
An election with respect to a class of taxable preferred shares filed in accordance with subsection 191.2(1) shall be deemed to have been filed before any dividend on a share of that class is paid.
Where an election has been filed under subsection 191.2(1), the Minister shall, notwithstanding subsections 152(4) and 152(5), assess or reassess the tax, interest or penalties payable under this Act by any corporation for any relevant taxation year in order to take into account the election.
Where a corporation (in this section referred to as the “transferor corporation”) and a taxable Canadian corporation (in this section referred to as the “transferee corporation”) that was related (otherwise than because of a right referred to in paragraph 251(5)(b) or because of the control of any corporation by Her Majesty in right of Canada or a province) to the transferor corporation
throughout a particular taxation year of the transferor corporation (or, where the transferee corporation came into existence in that year, throughout the part of that year in which the transferee corporation was in existence), and
throughout the last taxation year of the transferee corporation ending at or before the end of the particular taxation year (or, where the transferor corporation came into existence in that last taxation year of the transferee corporation, throughout that part of that last year in which the transferor corporation was in existence)
file as provided in subsection 191.3(2) an agreement or amended agreement with the Minister under which the transferee corporation agrees to pay all or any portion, as is specified in the agreement, of the tax for that taxation year of the transferor corporation that would, but for the agreement, be payable under this Part by the transferor corporation (other than any tax payable by the transferor corporation by reason of another agreement made under this section), the following rules apply, namely,
the amount of tax specified in the agreement is an amount determined for that taxation year of the transferor corporation in respect of the transferor corporation for the purpose of paragraph 191.1(1)(b),
the amount of tax specified in the agreement is an amount determined in respect of the transferee corporation for its last taxation year ending at or before the end of that taxation year of the transferor corporation for the purpose of subparagraph 191.1(1)(a)(iv), and
the transferor corporation and the transferee corporation are jointly and severally, or solidarily, liable to pay the amount of tax specified in the agreement and any interest or penalty in respect thereof.
For the purposes of Part I of this Act, where property is acquired at any time by a transferee corporation as consideration for entering into an agreement with a transferor corporation that is filed under this section,
where the property was owned by the transferor corporation immediately before that time,
the transferor corporation shall be deemed to have disposed of the property at that time for proceeds equal to the fair market value of the property at that time, and
the transferor corporation shall not be entitled to deduct any amount in computing its income as a consequence of the transfer of the property, except any amount arising as a consequence of subparagraph 191.3(1.1)(a)(i);
the cost at which the property was acquired by the transferee corporation at that time shall be deemed to be equal to the fair market value of the property at that time;
the transferee corporation shall not be required to add an amount in computing its income solely because of the acquisition at that time of the property; and
no benefit shall be deemed to have been conferred on the transferor corporation as a consequence of the transferor corporation entering into an agreement filed under this section.
An agreement or amended agreement referred to in subsection 191.3(1) between a transferor corporation and a transferee corporation shall be deemed not to have been filed with the Minister unless
it is in prescribed form;
it is filed on or before the day on or before which the transferor corporation’s return for the year in respect of which the agreement is filed is required to be filed under this Part or within the 90-day period beginning on the day of sending of a notice of assessment of tax payable under this Part or Part I by the transferor corporation for the year or by the transferee corporation for its taxation year ending in the calendar year in which the taxation year of the transferor corporation ends or the sending of a notification that no tax is payable under this Part or Part I for that taxation year;
it is accompanied by,
where the directors of the transferor corporation are legally entitled to administer its affairs, a certified copy of their resolution authorizing the agreement to be made,
where the directors of the transferor corporation are not legally entitled to administer its affairs, a certified copy of the document by which the person legally entitled to administer the corporation’s affairs authorized the agreement to be made,
where the directors of the transferee corporation are legally entitled to administer its affairs, a certified copy of their resolution authorizing the agreement to be made, and
where the directors of the transferee corporation are not legally entitled to administer its affairs, a certified copy of the document by which the person legally entitled to administer the corporation’s affairs authorized the agreement to be made; and
where the agreement is not an agreement to which subsection 191.3(4) applies, an agreement amending the agreement has not been filed in accordance with this section.

Where an agreement or amended agreement between a transferor corporation and a transferee corporation has been filed under this section with the Minister, the Minister shall, notwithstanding subsections 152(4) and 152(5), assess or reassess the tax, interest and penalties payable under this Act by the transferor corporation and the transferee corporation for any relevant taxation year in order to take into account the agreement or amended agreement.
Where, at any time, a corporation has become related to another corporation and it may reasonably be considered, having regard to all the circumstances, that the main purpose of the corporation becoming related to the other corporation was to transfer, by filing an agreement or an amended agreement under this section, the benefit of a deduction under paragraph 110(1)(k) to a transferee corporation, the amount of the tax specified in the agreement shall, for the purposes of paragraph 191.3(1)(c), be deemed to be nil.
The Minister may at any time assess a transferor corporation in respect of any amount for which it is jointly and severally, or solidarily, liable by reason of paragraph (1)(e) and the provisions of Division I of Part I are applicable in respect of the assessment as though it had been made under section 152.
If a transferor corporation and a transferee corporation are by reason of paragraph (1)(e) jointly and severally, or solidarily, liable in respect of tax payable by the transferee corporation under subparagraph 191.1(1)(a)(iv) and any interest or penalty in respect thereof, the following rules apply:
a payment by the transferor corporation on account of the liability shall, to the extent thereof, discharge their liability; and
a payment by the transferee corporation on account of its liability discharges the transferor corporation’s liability only to the extent that the payment operates to reduce the transferee corporation’s liability under this Act to an amount less than the amount in respect of which the transferor corporation was, by paragraph (1)(e), made jointly and severally, or solidarily, liable.
Every corporation that is or would, but for section 191.3, be liable to pay tax under this Part for a taxation year shall, not later than the day on or before which it is required by section 150 to file its return of income for the year under Part I, file with the Minister a return for the year under this Part in prescribed form containing an estimate of the tax payable by it under this Part for the year.

such amount as the corporation may claim, not exceeding the amount that would, if paragraph (i) of the definition investment tax credit in subsection 127(9) were read without reference to the words “the year or”, be its investment tax credit at the end of the year in respect of property acquired, or an expenditure made, after April 19, 1983 and on or before the last day of the year, and

there shall be deducted the amount, if any, by which
the increase as a result of the issue of those shares in the paid-up capital in respect of all shares of that class, determined without reference to this subsection as it applies to those shares,
exceeds

For the purposes of this section,
the acquisition of an interest in or the payment of an amount under a life insurance policy shall be deemed not to be the acquisition of a non-qualified investment, and
the disposition of an interest in a life insurance policy shall be deemed not to be the disposition of a non-qualified investment,

For the purposes of subsections 161(1) and 202(5), where a trust is liable to pay tax under this Part on the acquisition by it of a non-qualified investment or on the use of its property as security for a loan, it shall, except to the extent that the tax has previously been paid, be deemed to have paid tax on the date on which the property is disposed ofor on which the loan ceases to be extant, as the case may be, in an amount equal to the refund referred to in subsection 198(4) in respect of that property or subsection 198(5) in respect of the loan, as the case may be.
Instead of making a refund to which a trust is entitled under subsection 198(4) or 198(5) or 199(2), the Minister may, where the trust is liable or about to become liable to make another payment under this Act, apply the amount of the refund or any part thereof to that other liability and notify a trustee of the trust of that action.

For the purposes of section 127.4, this Part and Part XII.5, a corporation discontinues its venture capital business
at the time its articles cease to comply with paragraph 204.81(1)(c) and would so cease to comply if it had been incorporated after December 5, 1996;
at the time it begins to wind-up, and for the purpose of this paragraph a corporation is not to be considered to have begun to wind up solely because it discontinues its venture capital business under prescribed wind-up rules;
immediately before the time it amalgamates or merges with one or more other corporations to form one corporate entity (other than an entity deemed by paragraph 204.85(3)(d) to have been registered under this Part);

Where the Minister refuses to accept a corporation for registration under subsection 204.81(1) or gives notice of a proposal to revoke the registration of a corporation under subsection 204.81(7), the corporation may appeal to the Federal Court of Appeal from the decision or from the giving of the notice.
Where, at any time that is both in a taxation year included in the start-up period of a corporation that was registered under this Part and before its venture capital business is first discontinued,(A × 20%) - B where A is the greatest amount by which the amount determined under paragraph 204.82(1)(a) exceeds the amount determined under paragraph 204.82(1)(b) for the year, and B is the total of all taxes payable under this subsection by the corporation for preceding taxation years.
80% of the amount, if any, by which the total consideration received by it for Class A shares issued by it before that time exceeds the total of all amounts paid by it before that time to its shareholders as a return of capital on such shares
exceeds
the total of all amounts each of which is the cost to the corporation of an eligible investment or reserve of the corporation at that time,
the corporation shall pay a tax under this Part for the year equal to the amount determined by the formula
Each corporation that has been registered under this Part shall, in respect of each month that ends before its venture capital business is first discontinued and in a particular taxation year of the corporation that begins after the end of the corporation’s start-up period (or, where the corporation has no start-up period, that begins after the time the corporation first issues a Class A share), pay a tax under this Part equal to the amount obtained when the greatest investment shortfall at any time that is in the month and in the particular year (in this section and sections 204.81 and 204.83 referred to as the “monthly deficiency”) is multiplied by 1/60 of the prescribed rate of interest in effect during the month.
Subject to subsection 204.82(2.2), a corporation’s investment shortfall at any time in a particular taxation year is the amount determined by the formula A - B - C where A is 60% of the lesser of the amount, if any, by which the amount of the shareholders’ equity in the corporation at the end of the preceding taxation year exceeds the specified adjustment in respect of the shareholders’ equity in the corporation at the end of that year, and the amount, if any, by which the amount of the shareholders’ equity in the corporation at the end of the particular taxation year exceeds the specified adjustment in respect of the shareholders’ equity in the corporation at the end of the particular year; B is the greater of the total of all amounts each of which is the adjusted cost to the corporation of an eligible investment of the corporation at that time, and 50% of the total of all amounts each of which is the adjusted cost to the corporation of an eligible investment of the corporation at the beginning of the particular year, or the adjusted cost to the corporation of an eligible investment of the corporation at the end of the particular year; and C is 60% of the amount, if any, by which the total of all amounts each of which is a tax or penalty under subsection (3) or (4), or a prescribed tax or penalty, paid before that time by the corporation (other than the portion, if any, of that tax or penalty the liability for which resulted in a reduction in the amount of the shareholders’ equity at the end of any preceding taxation year) exceeds the total of all amounts each of which is a refund before that time of any portion of the total described in paragraph (a).
For the purpose of this subsection and for the purpose of computing a corporation’s investment shortfall under subsection (2.1) at any time in a taxation year (in this subsection referred to as the “relevant year”),
unrealized gains and losses in respect of its eligible investments shall not be taken into account in computing the amount of the shareholders’ equity in the corporation;
where
the relevant year ends after 1998, and
it is expected that a redemption of its Class A shares will occur after the end of a particular taxation year and, as a consequence, the amount of the shareholders’ equity in the corporation at the end of the particular year would otherwise be reduced to take into account the expected redemption,
subject to paragraph 204.82(2.2)(c), the amount (or, where the relevant year ends in 1999, 2000, 2001 or 2002, 20%, 40%, 60% or 80%, respectively of the amount) expected to be redeemed shall not be taken into account in determining the amount of the shareholders’ equity in the corporation at the end of the particular year;
paragraph 204.82(2.2)(b) does not apply to a redemption expected to be made after the end of a taxation year where
the redemption is made within 60 days after the end of the year, and
either
tax under Part XII.5 became payable as a consequence of the redemption, or
tax under Part XII.5 would not have become payable as a consequence of the redemption if the redemption had occurred at the end of the year;
the specified adjustment in respect of shareholders’ equity in the corporation at the end of a taxation year is the amount determined by the formula(A × (B/C)) - D where A is the shareholders’ equity at the end of the year, B is the total of the fair market value at the end of the year of all Class A shares issued by it before March 6, 1996 and more than five years before the end of the year, the fair market value at the end of the year of all Class A shares issued by it after March 5, 1996 and more than eight years before the end of the year, the fair market value at the end of the year of all Class A shares issued by it in the last 60 days of the year, and if the corporation so elects in writing filed with the Minister not more than six months after the end of the year and is not a revoked corporation at the end of the year, the fair market value at the end of the year of all shares of classes, of the capital stock of the corporation, to which clause 204.81(1)(c)(ii)(C) applies, C is the fair market value at the end of the year of all shares issued by it, and D is the amount by which the shareholders’ equity in the corporation at the end of the year has been reduced to take into account the expected subsequent redemption of shares of the capital stock of the corporation; and
the adjusted cost to the corporation of an eligible investment of the corporation at any time is
150% of the cost to the corporation of the eligible investment at that time where the eligible investment is
a property acquired by the corporation after February 18, 1997 (other than a property to which subparagraph (i.1) applies) that would be an eligible investment of the corporation if the reference to “$50,000,000” in paragraph (f) of the definition eligible investment in subsection 204.8(1) were read as “$10,000,000”, or
a share of the capital stock of a prescribed corporation,
200% of the cost to the corporation of the eligible investment at that time where the eligible investment is a property acquired by the corporation after February 16, 1999 (other than a property described in clause (i)(B)) that would be an eligible investment of the corporation if the reference to “$50,000,000” in paragraph (f) of the definition eligible investment in subsection 204.8(1) were read as “$2,500,000”, and
in any other case, the cost to the corporation of the eligible investment of the corporation at that time.
Where a corporation is liable under subsection 204.82(2) to pay a tax in respect of 12 consecutive months (in this subsection referred to as the “particular period”), the corporation shall pay a tax under this Part for a taxation year in respect of each particular period that ends in the year equal to the total of the amounts determined by the formula(A/12 × 20%) - (B - C) where A is the total of the monthly deficiencies for each month in the particular period; B is the total of all taxes payable by the corporation under subsection 204.82(1) for preceding taxation years and taxes payable by it under this subsection in respect of a period ending before the end of the particular period; and C is the total of all amounts refunded under section 204.83 in respect of the tax paid under this subsection by the corporation for preceding taxation years.
Where a corporation is liable under subsection 204.82(3) to pay a tax for a taxation year, the corporation shall pay, in addition to the tax payable under that subsection, a penalty for the year equal to that tax.
Where
an amount (other than interest on an amount to which this subsection applies or an amount payable under or as a consequence of a prescribed provision of a law of a province) is payable to the government of a province by a corporation,
the amount is payable as a consequence of a failure to acquire sufficient properties of a character described in the law of the province,
the corporation has been prescribed for the purpose of the definition approved share in subsection 127.4(1), and
the corporation is not a registered labour-sponsored venture capital corporation or a revoked corporation,
the corporation shall pay a tax under this Part for the taxation year in which the amount became payable equal to that amount.
Where
a particular amount is payable (other than interest on an amount to which this subsection applies) by a registered labour-sponsored venture capital corporation or a revoked corporation to the government of a province as a consequence of a failure of a prescribed corporation to acquire sufficient properties of a character described in a law of the province, and
the particular amount became payable before the corporation first discontinued its venture capital business,
the corporation shall pay a tax under this Part for the taxation year in which the particular amount became payable equal to that amount.
If a corporation is required, under subsections 204.82(3) and (4), to pay a tax and a penalty under this Part for a taxation year, it has no monthly deficiency throughout any period of 12 consecutive months (in this section referred to as the “second period”) that begins after the 12-month period in respect of which the tax became payable (in this section referred to as the “first period”) and it so requests in an application filed with the Minister in prescribed form, the Minister shall refund to it an amount equal to the total of the amount that was paid under subsection 204.82(3) and 80% of the amount that was paid under subsection 204.82(4) in respect of the first period on or before the later of
the 30th day after receiving the application, and
the 60th day after the end of the second period.
Where
the government of a province refunds, at any time, an amount to a corporation,
the refund is of an amount that had been paid in satisfaction of a particular amount payable in a taxation year of the corporation, and
tax was payable under subsection 204.82(5) or (6) by the corporation for a taxation year because the particular amount became payable,
the corporation is deemed to have paid at that time an amount equal to the refund on account of its tax payable under this Part for the year.
Every corporation that for a taxation year issues an information return described in paragraph 204.81(6)(c) in respect of
the issuance of a share when the corporation was a revoked corporation, or
a subscription in respect of a share if the share is not issued on or before the day that is 180 days after the day the information return was issued,
is liable to a penalty for the year equal to the amount of the consideration for which the share was or was to be issued.
Where, at a particular time in a taxation year, a particular corporation that is a registered labour-sponsored venture capital corporation or a revoked corporation first discontinues its venture capital business, the particular corporation shall pay a tax under this Part for the year equal to the total of all amounts each of which is the amount in respect of a Class A share of the capital stock of the particular corporation outstanding immediately before the particular time that is determined by the formula A × B where A is if the original acquisition of the share was before March 6, 1996 and less than five years before the particular time, 4% of the consideration received by the particular corporation for the issue of the share, if the original acquisition of the share was after March 5, 1996 and less than eight years before the particular time, 1.875% of the consideration received by the particular corporation for the issue of the share, and in any other case, nil; and B is if the original acquisition of the share was before March 6, 1996, the number obtained when the number of whole years throughout which the share was outstanding before the particular time is subtracted from five, and in any other case, the number obtained when the number of whole years throughout which the share was outstanding is subtracted from eight.
A registered labour-sponsored venture capital corporation or a revoked corporation that has issued any Class A shares shall send written notification of any proposed amalgamation, merger, liquidation or dissolution of the corporation to the Minister at least 30 days before the amalgamation, merger, liquidation or dissolution, as the case may be.
Where
an amount (other than interest on an amount to which this subsection applies or an amount payable under or as a consequence of a prescribed provision of a law of a province) is payable to the government of a province by a corporation,
the amount is payable as a consequence of the amalgamation or merger of the corporation with another corporation, the winding-up or dissolution of the corporation or the corporation ceasing to be registered under a law of the province,
the corporation has been prescribed for the purpose of the definition approved share in subsection 127.4(1), and
the corporation is not a registered labour-sponsored venture capital corporation or a revoked corporation,
For the purposes of section 127.4, this Part and Part XII.5, where two or more corporations (each of which is referred to in this subsection as a “predecessor corporation”) amalgamate or merge to form one corporate entity (in this subsection referred to as the “new corporation”) and at least one of the predecessor corporations was, immediately before the amalgamation or merger, a registered labour-sponsored venture capital corporation or a revoked corporation,
subject to paragraphs (d) and (e), the new corporation is deemed to be the same corporation as, and a continuation of, each predecessor corporation;
where a predecessor corporation was authorized to issue a class of shares to which clause 204.81(1)(c)(ii)(C) applies, the new corporation is deemed to have received approval from the Minister of Finance to issue substantially similar shares at the time of the amalgamation or merger;
where a share of a predecessor corporation (in this paragraph referred to as the “predecessor share”) is replaced on the amalgamation or merger by a new share of the new corporation,
the new share
is deemed not to have been issued on the amalgamation or merger, and
is deemed to have been issued by the new corporation at the time the predecessor corporation issued the predecessor share, and
if the new share was issued to a person who acquired the predecessor share as a consequence of a transfer the registration of which by the predecessor corporation was permitted under paragraph 204.81(1)(c), the issuance of the new share is deemed to be in compliance with the conditions described in paragraph 204.81(1)(c);
the Minister is deemed to have registered the new corporation for the purposes of this Part unless
the new corporation is not governed by the Canada Business Corporations Act,
one or more of the predecessor corporations was a registered labour-sponsored venture capital corporation the venture capital business of which was discontinued before the amalgamation or merger,
one or more of the predecessor corporations was, immediately before the amalgamation or merger, a revoked corporation,
immediately after the amalgamation or merger, the articles of the new corporation do not comply with paragraph 204.81(1)(c), or
shares other than Class A shares of the capital stock of the new corporation were issued to any shareholder of the new corporation in satisfaction of any share (other than a share to which clause 204.81(1)(c)(ii)(B) or (C) applied) of a predecessor corporation;
where paragraph (d) does not apply, the new corporation is deemed to be a revoked corporation;
subsection 204.82(1) does not apply to the new corporation; and
subsection 204.82(2) shall, in its application to the new corporation, be read without reference to the words “that begins after the end of the corporation’s start-up period (or, where the corporation has no start-up period, that begins after the time the corporation first issues a Class A share)”.
Every registered labour-sponsored venture capital corporation and every revoked corporation shall
on or before its filing-due date for a taxation year, file with the Minister a return for the year under this Part in prescribed form and containing prescribed information, without notice or demand therefor;
estimate in the return the amount of tax and penalties, if any, payable under this Part by it for the year; and
on or before its balance-due day for the year, pay to the Receiver General the amount of tax and penalties, if any, payable under this Part by it for the year.
Where tax is payable under this Part for a taxation year by a corporation because of subsection 204.82(5) or 204.85(2), the corporation shall

Where a subscriber is required, pursuant to an agreement in writing entered into before February 21, 1990, to make payments of specified amounts on a periodic basis into a registered education savings plan in respect of a beneficiary, and the subscriber makes at least one payment under the agreement before that day,
the excess amount for a year in respect of the beneficiary shall be deemed not to exceed the excess amount for the year that would be determined under subsection 204.9(1) if the total of all such payments made in the year and, where the agreement so provides, amounts paid in the year in satisfaction of the requirement to make such payments under all such agreements by all such subscribers in respect of the beneficiary were equal to the lesser of the amounts described in paragraphs (a) and (b) of the definition excess amount in subsection 204.9(1); and
in determining a subscriber’s share of an excess amount for a year, any payment included in the total described in paragraph 204.9(2)(a) in respect of the year shall be excluded in determining the values for A and B in the definition subscriber’s share of the excess amount in subsection 204.9(1).
For the purposes of subsection 204.9(1) and section 146.1, where an individual entered into an education savings plan before February 21, 1990, pursuant to a preliminary prospectus issued by a promoter, and the promoter refunds all payments made into the plan and all income accrued thereon to the individual, each payment made by the individual into a registered education savings plan before December 31, 1990 shall be deemed to be a payment made before February 21, 1990, to the extent that the total of all such payments does not exceed the amount so refunded to the individual.
For the purposes of this Part, if at any particular time an individual (in this subsection referred to as the “new beneficiary”) becomes a beneficiary under a registered education savings plan in place of another individual (in this subsection referred to as the “former beneficiary”) who ceased at or before the particular time to be a beneficiary under the plan,
except as provided by paragraph 204.9(4)(b), each contribution made at an earlier time by or on behalf of a subscriber into the plan in respect of the former beneficiary is deemed also to have been made at that earlier time in respect of the new beneficiary;
except for the purpose of applying this subsection to a replacement of a beneficiary after the particular time, applying subsection (5) to a distribution after the particular time and applying subsection 204.91(3) to events after the particular time, paragraph (a) does not apply as a consequence of the replacement at the particular time of the former beneficiary if
the new beneficiary had not attained 21 years of age before the particular time and a parent of the new beneficiary was a parent of the former beneficiary, or
both beneficiaries were connected by blood relationship or adoption to an original subscriber under the plan and neither had attained 21 years of age before the particular time; and
except where paragraph 204.9(4)(b) applies, each contribution made by or on behalf of a subscriber under the plan in respect of the former beneficiary under the plan is, without affecting the determination of the amount withdrawn from the plan in respect of the new beneficiary, deemed to have been withdrawn at the particular time from the plan to the extent that it was not withdrawn before the particular time.
For the purposes of this Part, if property held by a trust governed by a registered education savings plan (in this subsection referred to as the “transferor plan”) is distributed at a particular time to a trust governed by another registered education savings plan (in this subsection referred to as the “transferee plan”),
except as provided by paragraphs 204.9(5)(b) and 204.9(5)(c), the amount of the distribution is deemed not to have been contributed into the transferee plan;
subject to paragraph 204.9(5)(c), each contribution made at any earlier time by or on behalf of a subscriber into the transferor plan in respect of a beneficiary under the transferor plan is deemed also to have been made at that earlier time by the subscriber in respect of each beneficiary under the transferee plan;
except for the purpose of applying this subsection to a distribution after the particular time, applying subsection 204.9(4) to a replacement of a beneficiary after the particular time and applying subsection 204.91(3) to events after the particular time, paragraph 204.9(5)(b) does not apply as a consequence of the distribution where
any beneficiary under the transferee plan was, immediately before the particular time, a beneficiary under the transferor plan, or
a parent of a beneficiary under the transferee plan was a parent of an individual who was, immediately before the particular time, a beneficiary under the transferor plan and
the transferee plan is a plan that allows more than one beneficiary under the plan at any one time, or
in any other case, the beneficiary under the transferee plan had not attained 21 years of age at the time the transferee plan was entered into;
where subparagraph 204.9(5)(c)(i) or 204.9(5)(c)(ii) applies in respect of the distribution, the amount of the distribution is deemed not to have been withdrawn from the transferor plan; and
each subscriber under the transferor plan is deemed to be a subscriber under the transferee plan.
Every subscriber under a registered education savings plan shall pay a tax under this Part in respect of each month equal to 1% of the amount, if any, by which
the total of all amounts each of which is the subscriber’s gross cumulative excess at the end of the month in respect of an individual
exceeds
the total of all amounts each of which is the portion of such an excess that has been withdrawn from a registered education savings plan before the end of the month.
If a subscriber under a registered education savings plan would, but for this subsection, be required to pay a tax in respect of a month under subsection 204.91(1) in respect of an individual, the Minister may waive or cancel all or part of the tax where it is just and equitable to do so having regard to all the circumstances, including
whether the tax arose as a consequence of reasonable error;
whether, as a consequence of one or more transactions or events to which subsection 204.9(4) or 204.9(5) applies, the tax is excessive; and
the extent to which further contributions could be made into registered education savings plans in respect of the individual before the end of the month without causing additional tax to be payable under this Part if this Part were read without reference to this subsection.
If at any time an individual (in this subsection referred to as the “former subscriber”) ceases to be a subscriber under a registered education savings plan as a consequence of the settlement of rights arising out of, or on the breakdown of, the marriage or common-law partnership of the former subscriber and another individual (in this subsection referred to as the “current subscriber”) who is a subscriber under the plan immediately after that time, for the purpose of determining tax payable under this Part in respect of a month that ends after that time, each contribution made before that time into the plan by or on behalf of the former subscriber is deemed to have been made into the plan by the current subscriber and not by or on behalf of the former subscriber.
For the purpose of applying this section where a subscriber has died, the subscriber’s estate is deemed to be the same person as, and a continuation of, the subscriber for each month that ends after the death.

may, on sending the notice of assessment for the year, refund without application any allowable refund of the person for the year, to the extent that it was not applied against the person’s tax payable under paragraph (1)(b); and

Notwithstanding the definition refundable tax in subsection 207.5(1), where the custodian of a retirement compensation arrangement so elects in the return under this Part for a taxation year of an RCA trust under the arrangement and all the subject property, if any, of the arrangement (other than a right to claim a refund under subsection 164(1) or 207.7(2)) at the end of the year consists only of cash, debt obligations, shares listed on a designated stock exchange, or any combination thereof, an amount equal to the total of
the amount of that cash at the end of the year,
the total of all amounts each of which is the greater of the principal amount of such a debt obligation outstanding at the end of the year and the fair market value of the obligation at the end of the year, and
the fair market value of those shares at the end of the year
shall be deemed for the purposes of this Part to be the refundable tax of the arrangement at the end of the year.
Subsection (2) does not apply in respect of an RCA trust if any part of a decline in the fair market value of subject property of the retirement compensation arrangement is reasonably attributable to a prohibited investment for, or an advantage in relation to, the RCA trust unless the Minister is satisfied that it is just and equitable to allow the election to be made, having regard to all the circumstances, in which case, the Minister may adjust the amount deemed by subsection (2) to be the refundable tax of the arrangement to take into account all or part of the decline in the fair market value of the subject property.
In respect of the subject property of a retirement compensation arrangement, other than subject property of the arrangement held by a trust governed by a retirement compensation arrangement, for the purposes of this Part and Part I, the following rules apply:
an inter vivos trust is deemed to be created on the day that the arrangement is established;
the subject property of the arrangement is deemed to be property of the trust and not to be property of any other person; and
the custodian of the arrangement is deemed to be the trustee having ownership or control of the trust property.
For the purposes of this Part and Part I, where by virtue of a plan or arrangement an employer is obliged to provide benefits that are to be received or enjoyed by any person on, after or in contemplation of any substantial change in the services rendered by a taxpayer, the retirement of a taxpayer or the loss of an office or employment of a taxpayer, and where the employer, former employer or a person or partnership with whom or which the employer or former employer does not deal at arm’s length acquires an interest in a life insurance policy that may reasonably be considered to be acquired to fund, in whole or in part, those benefits, the following rules apply in respect of the plan or arrangement if it is not otherwise a retirement compensation arrangement and is not excluded from the definition retirement compensation arrangement, in subsection 248(1), by any of paragraphs (a) to (l) and (n) thereof:
the person or partnership that acquired the interest is deemed to be the custodian of a retirement compensation arrangement;
the interest is deemed to be subject property of the retirement compensation arrangement;
an amount equal to twice the amount of any premium paid in respect of the interest or any repayment of a policy loan thereunder is deemed to be a contribution under the retirement compensation arrangement; and
any payment received in respect of the interest, including a policy loan, and any amount received as a refund of refundable tax is deemed to be an amount received out of or under the retirement compensation arrangement by the recipient and not to be a payment of any other amount.
For the purpose of the provisions of this Act relating to retirement compensation arrangements, where
a corporation that at any time carried on a personal services business, or an employee of the corporation, enters into a plan or arrangement with a person or partnership (referred to in this subsection as the “employer”) to whom or which the corporation renders services, and
the plan or arrangement provides for benefits to be received or enjoyed by any person on, after or in contemplation of the cessation of, or any substantial change in, the services rendered by the corporation, or an employee of the corporation, to the employer,
the employer and the corporation are deemed to be an employer and employee, respectively, in relation to each other, and
any benefits to be received or enjoyed by any person under the plan or arrangement are deemed to be benefits to be received or enjoyed by the person on, after or in contemplation of a substantial change in the services rendered by the corporation.
Where at any time an employee benefit plan becomes a retirement compensation arrangement as a consequence of a change of the custodian of the plan or as a consequence of the custodian ceasing either to carry on business through a fixed place of business in Canada or to be licensed or otherwise authorized under the laws of Canada or a province to carry on in Canada the business of offering to the public its services as trustee,
for the purposes of this Part and Part I, the custodian of the plan is deemed to have made a contribution to the arrangement immediately after that time, in an amount equal to the fair market value at that time of all the properties of the plan; and
for the purposes of section 32.1, that amount is deemed to be a payment made at that time out of or under the plan to or for the benefit of employees or former employees of the employers who contributed to the plan.
For the purposes of this Act, where a resident’s contribution has been made under a plan or arrangement (in this subsection referred to as the “plan”),
the plan is deemed, in respect of its application to all resident’s contributions made under the plan and all property that can reasonably be considered to be derived from those contributions, to be a separate arrangement (in this subsection referred to as the “residents’ arrangement”) independent of the plan in respect of its application to all other contributions and property that can reasonably be considered to derive from those other contributions;
the residents’ arrangement is deemed to be a retirement compensation arrangement; and
each person and partnership to whom a contribution is made under the residents’ arrangement is deemed to be a custodian of the residents’ arrangement.
For the purpose of subsection 207.6(5), resident’s contribution means such part of a contribution made under a plan or arrangement (in this subsection referred to as the “plan”) at a time when the plan would, but for paragraph (l) of the definition retirement compensation arrangement in subsection 248(1), be a retirement compensation arrangement as
is not a prescribed contribution; and
can reasonably be considered to have been made in respect of services rendered by an individual to an employer in a period
throughout which the individual was resident in Canada and rendered services to the employer that were primarily services rendered in Canada or services rendered in connection with a business carried on by the employer in Canada (or a combination of such services), and
at the beginning of which the individual had been resident in Canada throughout at least 60 of the 72 preceding calendar months, where the individual was non-resident at any time before the period and became a member of the plan before the end of the month after the month in which the individual became resident in Canada,
For the purposes of the provisions of this Act relating to retirement compensation arrangements, the following rules apply in respect of a prescribed plan or arrangement:
the plan or arrangement shall be deemed to be a retirement compensation arrangement;
an amount credited at any time to the account established in the accounts of Canada or a province in connection with the plan or arrangement shall be, except to the extent that it is in respect of a refund determined under subsection 207.7(2), deemed to be a contribution under the plan or arrangement at that time;
the custodian of the plan or arrangement shall be deemed to be
where the account is established in the accounts of Canada, Her Majesty in right of Canada, and
where the account is established in the accounts of a province, Her Majesty in right of that province; and
the subject property of the plan or arrangement, at any time, shall be deemed to include an amount of cash equal to the balance at that time in the account.
Where an amount (other than an amount that is part of a series of periodic payments) is transferred directly to a retirement compensation arrangement (other than an arrangement the custodian of which is non-resident or which is deemed by subsection 207.6(5) to be a retirement compensation arrangement) from another retirement compensation arrangement,
the amount shall not, solely because of the transfer, be included in computing a taxpayer’s income under Part I;
no deduction may be made in respect of the amount in computing a taxpayer’s income under Part I; and
the amount is considered, for the purpose of the definition refundable tax in subsection 207.5(1), to be paid as a distribution to one or more persons under the arrangement from which the amount is transferred and to be a contribution made under the arrangement to which the amount is transferred.
A custodian of a retirement compensation arrangement shall pay a tax under this Part for a calendar year if, at any time in the year,
the arrangement acquires property that is a prohibited investment for the arrangement; or
subject property of the arrangement becomes a prohibited investment for the arrangement after March 29, 2012.
The amount of tax payable in respect of each property described in subsection (1) is 50% of the fair market value of the property at the time referred to in that subsection.
If in a calendar year an RCA trust disposes of a property in respect of which a tax is imposed under subsection (1) on the custodian of the retirement compensation arrangement, the custodian is entitled to a refund for the year of an amount equal to
the amount of the tax so imposed, unless paragraph (b) applies; or
nil,
if it is reasonable to consider that the custodian, or a specified beneficiary of the arrangement, knew, or ought to have known, at the time the property was acquired by the arrangement, that it was, or would become, a property described in subsection (1), or
if the property is not disposed of by the arrangement before the end of the calendar year following the calendar year in which the tax arose, or any later time that the Minister considers reasonable in the circumstances.
If, at any time, a property held by an RCA trust ceases to be, or becomes, a prohibited investment for the RCA trust, the RCA trust is deemed to have disposed of the property immediately before that time for proceeds of disposition equal to the fair market value of the property at that time and to have reacquired the property at that time at a cost equal to that fair market value.
A custodian of a retirement compensation arrangement shall pay a tax under this Part for a calendar year if, in the year, an advantage in relation to the arrangement is extended to, or is received or receivable by, an RCA trust under the arrangement, a specified beneficiary of the arrangement or any person who does not deal at arm’s length with the specified beneficiary.
The amount of tax payable in respect of an advantage described in subsection (1) is
in the case of a benefit, the fair market value of the benefit;
in the case of a loan or an indebtedness, the amount of the loan or indebtedness; and
in the case of an RCA strip, the amount of the RCA strip.
If a custodian of a retirement compensation arrangement is liable to pay a tax under section 207.61 or 207.62, a specified beneficiary of the arrangement is jointly and severally, or solidarily, liable for that tax to the extent that the specified beneficiary participated in, assented to or acquiesced in the making of, the transaction or event or series of transactions or events that resulted in the liability.
If a person would otherwise be liable to pay a tax under this Part because of any of sections 207.61 to 207.63, the Minister may waive or cancel all or part of the liability if the Minister considers it just and equitable to do so having regard to all the circumstances, including
whether the tax arose as a consequence of reasonable error; and
the extent to which the transaction or event or series of transactions or events that gave rise to the tax also gave rise to another tax under this Act.
For the purposes of the definition refundable tax in subsection 207.5(1), tax paid under section 207.61 or 207.62 by a custodian of a retirement compensation arrangement out of property held in connection with the arrangement is deemed to be a distribution under the arrangement for the taxation year in which the tax is paid to the extent that the tax has not been refunded, waived or cancelled.
Every custodian of a retirement compensation arrangement shall pay a tax under this Part for each taxation year of an RCA trust under the arrangement equal to the amount, if any, by which the refundable tax of the arrangement at the end of the year exceeds the refundable tax of the arrangement at the end of the immediately preceding taxation year, if any.
Where the custodian of a retirement compensation arrangement has filed a return under this Part for a taxation year within three years after the end of the year, the Minister
may, on sending the notice of assessment for the year or a notification that no tax is payable for the year, refund without application an amount equal to the amount, if any, by which the refundable tax of the arrangement at the end of the immediately preceding year exceeds the refundable tax of the arrangement at the end of the year; and
shall, with all due dispatch, make such a refund after sending the notice of assessment if application for it has been made in writing by the custodian within three years after the day of sending of a notice of an original assessment for the year or of a notification that no tax is payable for the year.
Every custodian of a retirement compensation arrangement shall, within 90 days after the end of each taxation year of an RCA trust under the arrangement,
file with the Minister a return for the year under this Part in prescribed form and containing prescribed information, without notice or demand therefor;
estimate in the return the amount of tax, if any, payable by the custodian under this Part for the year; and
pay to the Receiver General the amount of tax, if any, payable by the custodian under this Part for the year.
Subsections 150(2) and 150(3), sections 152 and 158, subsections 161(1) and 161(11), sections 162 to 167 and Division J of Part I are applicable to this Part with such modifications as the circumstances require.
In this Part, excess EPSP amount, of a specified employee for a taxation year in respect of an employer, means the amount determined by the formula A – (20% × B) where A is the portion of the total of all amounts paid by the employer of the specified employee (or by a corporation with which the employer does not deal at arm’s length) to a trust governed by an employees profit sharing plan that is allocated for the year to the specified employee; and B is the specified employee’s total income for the year from an office or employment with the employer computed without reference to paragraph 6(1)(d) and sections 7 and 8.
If a specified employee has an excess EPSP amount for a taxation year, the specified employee shall pay a tax for the year equal to the amount determined by the formula(A + B) × C where A is 29%; B is if the specified employee is resident in Quebec at the end of the year, 0%, if the specified employee is resident in a province other than Quebec at the end of the year, the highest percentage rate of tax, including surtaxes but not taxes that are limited to a maximum amount, imposed by the province for the year on the income of an individual who is a resident of the province, or in any other case, 14%; and C is the total of all excess EPSP amounts of the specified employee for the year.
If a specified employee would otherwise be liable to pay a tax under subsection (2), the Minister may waive or cancel all or part of the liability if the Minister considers it just and equitable to do so having regard to all the circumstances.
Every person who is liable to pay tax under this Part for a taxation year shall
on or before the person’s filing-due date for the year, file with the Minister a return for the year under this Part in prescribed form and containing prescribed information; and
on or before the person’s balance-due day for the year, pay to the Receiver General the amount of tax payable under this Part by the person for the year.

a trust of which the taxpayer, a person described in subparagraph (i) or a corporation described in subparagraph (iii) is a beneficiary,
a corporation controlled by the taxpayer, a person described in subparagraph (i), a trust described in subparagraph (ii) or any combination thereof, or
a partnership of which the taxpayer or a person described in one of subparagraphs (i) to (iii) is a majority-interest partner or a member of a majority-interest group of partners (as defined in subsection 251.1(3))
a trust and a beneficiary of the trust or a person related to a beneficiary of the trust shall be deemed not to deal with each other at arm’s length;
for the purpose of paragraph (a),
a group of persons in respect of a corporation means any 2 or more persons each of whom owns shares of the capital stock of the corporation,
a corporation that is controlled by one or more members of a particular group of persons in respect of that corporation shall be considered to be controlled by that group of persons, and
a corporation may be controlled by a person or a particular group of persons notwithstanding that the corporation is also controlled or deemed to be controlled by another person or group of persons;
a designated partnership means a partnership of which either a majority-interest partner or every member of a majority-interest group of partners (as defined in subsection 251.1(3)) is a non-resident person; and
in this subsection, a person includes a partnership.
Notwithstanding subsection (1), this section does not apply in respect of a disposition by a non-resident corporation of shares of a subject corporation to a purchaser corporation that immediately before the disposition controlled the non-resident corporation.
This section applies where
a taxpayer disposes at a particular time of a share of the capital stock of a corporation resident in Canada (or any property more than 10% of the fair market value of which can be attributed to shares of the capital stock of corporations resident in Canada) to
a person resident in Canada,
a partnership in which any person resident in Canada has, directly or indirectly, an interest, or
a person or partnership that acquires the share or the property in the course of carrying on a business through a permanent establishment in Canada, as defined in the Income Tax Regulations;
subsection 212.1(1) does not apply to the disposition;
the taxpayer is non-resident at the particular time;
it is reasonable to conclude that the disposition is part of an expected series of transactions or events that includes the issue after December 15, 1998 of a particular share of the capital stock of a particular insurance corporation resident in Canada on the demutualization (within the meaning assigned by subsection 139.1(1)) of the particular corporation and
after the particular time, the redemption, acquisition or cancellation of the particular share, or a share substituted for the particular share, by the particular corporation or the issuer of the substituted share, as the case may be,
after the particular time, an increase in the level of dividends declared or paid on the particular share or a share substituted for the particular share, or
the acquisition, at or after the particular time, of the particular share or a share substituted for the particular share by
a person not dealing at arm’s length with the particular corporation or with the issuer of the substituted share, as the case may be, or
a partnership any direct or indirect interest in which is held by a person not dealing at arm’s length with the particular corporation or with the issuer of the substituted share, as the case may be; and
at the particular time, the person described in subparagraph (a)(i) or (iii) or any person who has, directly or indirectly, an interest in the partnership described in subparagraph (a)(ii) or (iii) knew, or ought reasonably to have known, of the expected series of transactions or events described in paragraph (d).
For the purposes of this Part, where property is disposed of at any time by a taxpayer to a person or partnership in circumstances in which this section applies,
a taxable dividend is deemed to be paid at that time by the person or partnership to the taxpayer and received at the time by the taxpayer;
the amount of the dividend is deemed to be equal to the amount determined by the formula A - ((A/B) × C) where A is the portion of the proceeds of disposition of the property that can reasonably be attributed to the fair market value of shares of a class of the capital stock of a corporation resident in Canada, B is the fair market value immediately before that time of shares of that class, and C is the paid-up capital immediately before that time of that class of shares; and
in respect of the dividend, the person or partnership is deemed to be a corporation resident in Canada.
Subsection (2) applies to an investment in a non-resident corporation (in this section referred to as the “subject corporation”) made at any time (in this section referred to as the “investment time”) by a corporation resident in Canada (in this section referred to as the “CRIC”) if
the subject corporation is immediately after the investment time, or becomes as part of a transaction or event or series of transactions or events that includes the making of the investment, a foreign affiliate of the CRIC;
the CRIC is at the investment time, or becomes as part of a transaction or event or series of transactions or events that includes the making of the investment, controlled by a non-resident corporation (in this section referred to as the “parent”); and
neither subsection (16) nor (18) applies in respect of the investment.
If this subsection applies to an investment in a subject corporation made by a CRIC,
for the purposes of this Part and subject to subsections (3) and (7), the CRIC is deemed to have paid to the parent, and the parent is deemed to have received from the CRIC, at the investment time, a dividend equal to the total of all amounts each of which is the portion of the fair market value at the investment time of any property (not including shares of the capital stock of the CRIC) transferred, any obligation assumed or incurred, or any benefit otherwise conferred, by the CRIC, or of any property transferred to the CRIC which transfer results in the reduction of an amount owing to the CRIC, that can reasonably be considered to relate to the investment; and
in computing the paid-up capital in respect of any class of shares of the capital stock of the CRIC at any time that is at or after the investment time, there is to be deducted the amount of any increase in the paid-up capital in respect of the class, determined without reference to this section, that can reasonably be considered to relate to the investment.
If a CRIC, all corporations that are, at the investment time, qualifying substitute corporations in respect of the CRIC, and the parent (or the parent and another non-resident corporation that is at the investment time controlled by the parent) jointly elect in writing under this subsection in respect of an investment, amounts are agreed on in respect of classes of shares of the capital stock of any of the CRIC and one or more of the qualifying substitute corporations, the total of the amounts agreed on equals the amount of the dividend that would, in the absence of this subsection, be deemed under paragraph (2)(a) to be paid and received, and the election is filed with the Minister on or before the earliest of the filing-due dates of the CRIC and the qualifying substitute corporations for their respective taxation years that include the investment time, then
the dividend that would, in the absence of this subsection, be deemed under paragraph (2)(a) to have been paid by the CRIC to the parent and received by the parent from the CRIC
is, as reduced by the application of subparagraph (i), deemed to be paid to, and received by, the parent or the other non-resident corporation (if the other non-resident corporation has elected under this subsection), as one or more dividends in the amounts, and in respect of the classes of shares of the capital stock of the CRIC, agreed on in the election; and
is reduced by the total of all amounts each of which is an amount agreed on in the election in respect of a class of shares of the capital stock of a qualifying substitute corporation, and
a dividend is deemed, at the investment time, to be paid to either the parent or the other non-resident corporation, as the case may be, by each qualifying substitute corporation in respect of which an amount has been agreed on in the election, and received by the parent, or the other non-resident corporation, from that qualifying substitute corporation, in the amount, and in respect of each class referred to in subparagraph (a)(i), agreed on in the election.
For the purposes of this section, qualifying substitute corporation, at any time in respect of a CRIC, means a corporation resident in Canada
shares of the capital stock of which are, at that time, owned by the parent or another non-resident corporation with which the parent does not, at that time, deal at arm’s length.
that has, at that time, an equity percentage (as defined in subsection 95(4)) in the CRIC; and
that is, at that time, controlled by the parent;
In the case of an investment described in paragraph (10)(e), the CRIC is deemed for the purposes of paragraph (2)(a) to transfer to the subject corporation property that relates to the investment, the fair market value of which property is
if the investment is described in subparagraph (10)(e)(i), the amount owing in respect of the debt obligation referred to in that subparagraph immediately after the investment time, or
if the investment is described in subparagraph (10)(e)(ii), the fair market value of the shares referred to in that subparagraph immediately after the investment time.
Subsection (7) applies if paragraph (2)(a) or (3)(b) applies to an investment in a subject corporation made by a CRIC and
if an election is made under subsection (3) in respect of the investment,
each class of shares of the capital stock of the CRIC or of a qualifying substitute corporation, in respect of which an amount has been agreed on in the election, is a class of which the parent, or another non-resident corporation with which the parent does not, at the investment time, deal at arm’s length, owns shares, and
the election results in the greatest possible amount that is the total of all amounts each of which would, if subparagraph (7)(b)(i) applied in respect of the investment, be a reduction of paid-up capital in respect of a share of the capital stock of the CRIC, or a qualifying substitute corporation, that is owned by the parent or another non-resident corporation with which the parent does not, at the investment time, deal at arm’s length; or
in any other case, the following conditions are met:
a non-resident person who was not dealing at arm’s length with the CRIC.
a person who was dealing at arm’s length with the CRIC, or
at the investment time, each share of the capital stock of the CRIC that was not owned by the parent was owned by
in any other case, all the property transferred was used by the CRIC to make, in whole or in part, the investment; and
in the case of an investment described in paragraph (10)(f), all the property transferred was used by the CRIC to make, in whole or in part, the direct acquisition referred to in that paragraph, and
the CRIC demonstrates that an amount of paid-up capital in respect of one or more classes of shares of the capital stock of the CRIC arose from one or more transfers of property to the CRIC and that
there was only one class of issued and outstanding shares of the capital stock of the CRIC at the investment time, or
either
If this subsection applies, the following rules apply:
the amount of any dividend deemed under this section to have been paid by the CRIC or a qualifying substitute corporation and to have been received by a non-resident corporation in respect of the investment is to be reduced by the lesser of
the amount that would, in the absence of this subsection, be deemed to be paid and received as a dividend under this section, and
one of
if clause (6)(b)(i)(B) applies, the total of all amounts of paid-up capital, determined under that clause, in respect of a class of shares of the capital stock of the CRIC; and
if clause (6)(b)(i)(A) applies, the amount of paid-up capital in respect of the class referred to in that clause immediately before the investment time, or
if paragraph (6)(a) applies, the amount of paid-up capital in respect of the class of shares in respect of which the dividend is deemed to be paid,
in computing the paid-up capital in respect of a class of shares of the capital stock of the CRIC or a qualifying substitute corporation, as the case may be, at any time that is at or after the investment time, there is to be deducted
if clause (a)(ii)(A) applies, the amount determined under paragraph (a) in respect of the class, and
if clause (a)(ii)(B) or (C) applies, the amount determined under paragraph (a) that can reasonably be considered to relate to the class.
In computing the paid-up capital at any time after March 28, 2012 in respect of a class of shares of the capital stock of a corporation, there is to be added an amount equal to the lesser of
the amount, if any, by which
the total of all amounts deemed by subsection 84(3), (4) or (4.1) to be a dividend on shares of the class paid after March 28, 2012 and before that time by the corporation
the total that would be determined under subparagraph (i) if this Act were read without reference to paragraphs (2)(b) and (7)(b) and subsection (9), and
the amount, if any, by which
the total of all amounts required by paragraph (2)(b) or (7)(b) to be deducted in computing the paid-up capital in respect of the class before that time
the total of all amounts required by subsection (9) to be added in computing the paid-up capital in respect of the class before that time.
If, in respect of an investment in a subject corporation made by a CRIC that is described in paragraph (10)(a), (b) or (f), an amount is required by paragraph (2)(b) or (7)(b) to be deducted in computing the paid-up capital in respect of a class of shares of the capital stock of a particular corporation, and the particular corporation reduces, at a time subsequent to the investment time, the paid-up capital in respect of the class, then the paid-up capital in respect of the class is to be increased, immediately before the subsequent time, by the least of
the amount of the reduction of the paid-up capital at the subsequent time,
the amount, if any, by which
the amount required by paragraph (2)(b) or (7)(b), as the case may be, to be deducted, in respect of the investment, in computing the paid-up capital in respect of the class
the total of all amounts required under this subsection to be added, in respect of the investment, to the paid-up capital of the class in respect of a reduction of paid-up capital made before the subsequent time, and
if neither subparagraph (i) nor (ii) applies, is equal to nil.
as a dividend or qualifying return of capital, within the meaning assigned by subsection 90(3), in respect of a class of subject shares, or the portion of a dividend or qualifying return of capital in respect of a class of substituted shares that may reasonably be considered to relate to the subject shares, or
as proceeds from the disposition of the subject shares, or as the portion of the proceeds from the disposition of the substituted shares that may reasonably be considered to relate to the subject shares, other than as proceeds from a disposition in respect of which the related acquisition is one to which subsection (18) applies, or
the particular corporation demonstrates that it has received directly or indirectly after the investment time and no more than 180 days before the subsequent time
if the property distributed on the reduction of paid-up capital is shares of the capital stock of the subject corporation (in this paragraph referred to as the “subject shares”) or shares of the capital stock of a foreign affiliate of the particular corporation that were substituted for the subject shares, is equal to the fair market value of the subject shares, or the portion of the fair market value of the substituted shares that may reasonably be considered to relate to the subject shares, as the case may be, at the subsequent time,
an amount that
In this section, investment, in a subject corporation made by a CRIC, means any of
an acquisition of shares of the capital stock of the subject corporation by the CRIC;
a contribution of capital to the subject corporation by the CRIC, which is deemed to include any transaction or event under which a benefit is conferred on the subject corporation by the CRIC;
a transaction under which an amount becomes owing by the subject corporation to the CRIC, other than an amount owing
that arises in the ordinary course of the business of the CRIC and that is repaid, other than as part of a series of loans or other transactions and repayments, within 180 days after the day on which the amount becomes owing, or
that is a pertinent loan or indebtedness immediately after the time of the transaction;
an acquisition of a debt obligation of the subject corporation by the CRIC from a person, other than
if the acquisition is made in the ordinary course of the business of the CRIC, a debt obligation acquired from a person with which the CRIC deals at arm’s length at the time of the acquisition, or
a debt obligation that is a pertinent loan or indebtedness immediately after the time of the acquisition;
an extension of
the maturity date of a debt obligation (other than a debt obligation that is a pertinent loan or indebtedness immediately after the time of the extension) owing by the subject corporation to the CRIC, or
the redemption, acquisition or cancellation date of shares of the capital stock of the subject corporation owned by the CRIC;
an indirect acquisition by the CRIC of shares of the capital stock of the subject corporation that results from a direct acquisition by the CRIC of shares of the capital stock of another corporation resident in Canada, of which the subject corporation is a foreign affiliate, if the total fair market value of all the shares that are held directly or indirectly by the other corporation and are shares of foreign affiliates of the other corporation exceeds 75% of the total fair market value (determined without reference to debt obligations of any corporation resident in Canada in which the other corporation has a direct or indirect interest) of all of the properties owned by the other corporation; and
an acquisition by the CRIC of an option in respect of, or an interest in, or for civil law a right in, shares of the capital stock of, an amount owing by (other than an amount owing described in subparagraph (c)(i) or (ii)), or a debt obligation of (other than a debt obligation described in subparagraph (d)(i) or (ii)), the subject corporation.
For the purposes of subsection (10) and subject to subsection 17.1(3), pertinent loan or indebtedness, at any time, means an amount owing at that time by the subject corporation to the CRIC in respect of which all of the following apply:
either
the amount became owing after March 28, 2012, or
the amount became owing before March 29, 2012 and is a debt obligation for which the maturity date was extended after March 28, 2012 and at or before that time;
the amount owing is not an amount owing described in subparagraph (10)(c)(i) or a debt obligation described in subparagraph (10)(d)(i); and
the CRIC and the parent jointly elect in writing under this paragraph in respect of the amount owing and file the election with the Minister on or before the filing-due date of the CRIC
in the case of an amount owing described in subparagraph (a)(i), for the year in which the amount became owing, or
in the case of an amount owing described in subparagraph (a)(ii), for the year in which the extension was made.
Where an election referred to in subsection (3) or paragraph (11)(c) was not made on or before the day on or before which the election was required by that paragraph to be made, the election is deemed to have been made on that day if the election is made on or before the day that is three years after that day and the penalty in respect of the election is paid by the CRIC when the election is made.
For the purposes of subsection (12), the penalty in respect of an election referred to in that subsection is the amount equal to the product obtained by multiplying $100 by the number of months each of which is a month all or part of which is during the period commencing with the day on or before which the election is required by subsection (3) or paragraph (11)(c), as the case may be, to be made and ending on the day on which the election is made.
For the purposes of paragraph (10)(f),
the condition in that paragraph is deemed to be satisfied at the time of the acquisition if
any property (other than shares of foreign affiliates of the other corporation that is referred to in that paragraph) held directly or indirectly by that other corporation is disposed of, after the time of the acquisition, directly or indirectly by that corporation as part of a series of transactions or events that includes the acquisition, and
at any time that is subsequent to the time of the acquisition and that is in the period during which the series occurs, the condition in that paragraph would have been satisfied had the acquisition occurred at the subsequent time; and
the fair market value of properties held directly or indirectly by the other corporation is not to be taken into account more than once in determining whether the condition in that paragraph is satisfied.
For the purposes of this section and paragraph 128.1(1)(c.3), a CRIC that would, in the absence of this subsection, be controlled at any time
by more than one non-resident corporation is deemed not to be controlled at that time by any such non-resident that controls at that time another non-resident corporation that controls at that time the CRIC, unless the application of this subsection would otherwise result in no non-resident corporation controlling the CRIC; and
by a particular non-resident corporation is deemed not to be controlled at that time by the particular corporation if the particular corporation is controlled at that time by another corporation that is at that time
resident in Canada, and
not controlled by any non-resident person.
Subject to subsection (19), subsection (2) does not apply to an investment in a subject corporation made by a CRIC if the CRIC demonstrates that all of the following conditions are met:
the business activities carried on by the subject corporation and all other corporations (those other corporations in this subsection and subsection (17) referred to as the “subject subsidiary corporations”) in which the subject corporation has, at the investment time, an equity percentage (as defined in subsection 95(4)) are at the investment time, and are expected to remain, on a collective basis, more closely connected to the business activities carried on in Canada by the CRIC, or by any corporation resident in Canada with which the CRIC does not, at the investment time, deal at arm’s length, than to the business activities carried on by any non-resident corporation with which the CRIC, at the investment time, does not deal at arm’s length, other than
the subject corporation,
the subject subsidiary corporations, and
any corporation that is, immediately before the investment time, a controlled foreign affiliate of the CRIC for the purposes of section 17,
officers of the CRIC had and exercised the principal decision-making authority in respect of the making of the investment and a majority of those officers were, at the investment time, persons each of whom was resident, and working principally,
in Canada, or
in a country in which a particular corporation is resident if the particular corporation (in this subsection and subsection (17) referred to as a “connected affiliate”) is a controlled foreign affiliate of the CRIC for the purposes of section 17 and carries on business activities that are, at the investment time, and are expected to remain, at least as closely connected to those of the subject corporation and the subject subsidiary corporations, on a collective basis, as the business activities carried on in Canada by the CRIC, or any corporation resident in Canada with which the CRIC does not, at the investment time, deal at arm’s length, as the case may be, are to those of the subject corporation and the subject subsidiary corporations, on a collective basis; and
at the investment time, it is reasonably expected that
officers of the CRIC will have and exercise the ongoing principal decision-making authority in respect of the investment,
a majority of those officers will be persons each of whom will be resident, and working principally, in Canada or in a country in which a connected affiliate is resident, and
the performance evaluation and compensation of the officers of the CRIC who are resident, and work principally, in Canada, or in a country in which a connected affiliate is resident, will be based on the results of operations of the subject corporation to a greater extent than will be the performance evaluation and compensation of any officer of a non-resident corporation (other than the subject corporation, a corporation controlled by the subject corporation or a connected affiliate) that does not deal at arm’s length with the CRIC.
For the purposes of paragraphs (16)(b) and (c), any person who is an officer of the CRIC and of a non-resident corporation with which the CRIC, at the investment time, does not deal at arm’s length (other than the subject corporation, a subject subsidiary corporation or a connected affiliate) is deemed to not be resident, and to not work principally, in a country in which a connected affiliate is resident.
Subject to subsections (19) and (20), subsection (2) does not apply to an investment in a subject corporation made by a CRIC if
the investment is described in paragraph (10)(a) and is an acquisition of shares of the capital stock of the subject corporation
from a corporation resident in Canada
to which the CRIC is, immediately before the investment time, related (determined without reference to paragraph 251(5)(b)), and
that is, at no time that is in the period during which the series of transactions or events that includes the making of the investment occurs and that is before the investment time, dealing at arm’s length (determined without reference to paragraph 251(5)(b)) with the CRIC, or
on an amalgamation described in subsection 87(1) of two or more corporations (each of which is in this subparagraph referred to as a “predecessor corporation”) to form the CRIC if
all of the predecessor corporations are, immediately before the amalgamation, related to each other (determined without reference to paragraph 251(5)(b)), and
none of the predecessor corporations deal at arm’s length (determined without reference to paragraph 251(5)(b)) with another predecessor corporation at any time that is in the period during which the series of transactions or events that includes the making of the investment occurs and that is before the investment time;
the investment is described in paragraph (10)(a) and is an acquisition of shares of the capital stock of the subject corporation in which the shares are acquired by the CRIC
in an exchange to which subsection 51(1) applies,
as consideration for a disposition of shares to which subsection 85.1(3) applies (determined without reference to subsection 85.1(4)),
in the course of a reorganization of the capital of the subject corporation to which subsection 86(1) applies,
as a result of a foreign merger (as defined in subsection 87(8.1)) under which the subject corporation was formed,
on a liquidation and dissolution to which subsection 88(3) applies,
on a redemption of shares of another non-resident corporation that is, immediately before the investment time, a foreign affiliate of the CRIC, or
as a dividend or a qualifying return of capital, within the meaning assigned by subsection 90(3), in respect of the shares of another non-resident corporation that is, immediately before the investment time, a foreign affiliate of the CRIC;
the investment is an indirect acquisition referred to in paragraph (10)(f) that results from a direct acquisition of shares of the capital stock of another corporation resident in Canada
from a corporation
to which the CRIC is, immediately before the investment time, related (determined without reference to paragraph 251(5)(b)), and
that is, at no time that is in the period during which the series of transactions or events that includes the making of the investment occurs and that is before the investment time, dealing at arm’s length (determined without reference to paragraph 251(5)(b)) with the CRIC,
on an amalgamation described in subsection 87(1) of two or more corporations (each of which is in this subparagraph referred to as a “predecessor corporation”) to form the CRIC if
all of the predecessor corporations are, immediately before the amalgamation, related to each other (determined without reference to paragraph 251(5)(b)), and
none of the predecessor corporations deal at arm’s length (determined without reference to paragraph 251(5)(b)) with another predecessor corporation at any time that is in the period during which the series of transactions or events that includes the making of the investment occurs and that is before the investment time,
in an exchange to which subsection 51(1) applies,
in the course of a reorganization of the capital of the other corporation to which subsection 86(1) applies, or
to the extent that an investment (other than one described in paragraph (10)(f)) is made in the subject corporation by the other corporation, or by a particular corporation resident in Canada to which the CRIC and the other corporation are related at the investment time, using property transferred, directly or indirectly, by the CRIC to the other corporation or the particular corporation, as the case may be, if the two investments
occur within 30 days of each other, and
are part of the same series of transactions or events; or
the investment is an acquisition of shares of the capital stock of the subject corporation that is described in paragraph (10)(a), or an indirect acquisition referred to in paragraph (10)(f) that results from a direct acquisition of shares of the capital stock of another corporation resident in Canada, under which the shares of the subject corporation or the other corporation, as the case may be, are received by the CRIC as the sole consideration for an exchange of a debt obligation owing to the CRIC, other than an exchange to which subsection 51(1) applies.
Subsection (16) and paragraphs (18)(b) and (d) do not apply to an acquisition of shares of the capital stock of a subject corporation by a CRIC if, having regard to all the terms and conditions of the shares and any agreement in respect of the shares, the shares may not reasonably be considered to fully participate in the profits of the subject corporation and any appreciation in the value of the subject corporation, unless the subject corporation would be a subsidiary wholly-owned corporation of the CRIC throughout the period during which the series of transactions or events that includes the acquisition occurs if the CRIC owned all of the shares of the capital stock of the subject corporation that are owned by any of
the CRIC;
a corporation resident in Canada that is a subsidiary wholly-owned corporation of the CRIC; and
a corporation resident in Canada of which the CRIC is a subsidiary wholly-owned corporation.
Subsection (2) applies to an investment in a subject corporation made by a CRIC that is an acquisition of shares of the capital stock of the subject corporation described in any of subparagraphs (18)(b)(v) to (vii) to the extent of the lesser of
the total of all amounts each of which is the amount of a debt obligation assumed by the CRIC in respect of the liquidation and dissolution, redemption, dividend or qualifying return of capital, as the case may be, and
the fair market value of the shares at the investment time.
If it can reasonably be considered that one of the main purposes of one or more transactions or events is to cause two or more persons to be related to each other so that, in the absence of this subsection, subsection (2) would not apply because of subsection (18) to an investment in a subject corporation made by a CRIC, those persons are deemed not to be related to each other for the purposes of subsection (18).
For the purposes of this section and subsections 219.1(3) and (4),
if there has been an amalgamation to which subsection 87(11) applies,
the new corporation referred to in that subsection is deemed to be the same corporation as, and a continuation of, the parent and each subsidiary referred to in that subsection, and
the new corporation is deemed not to acquire any property of the parent, or of any subsidiary, as a result of the amalgamation; and
if there has been a winding-up to which subsection 88(1) applies,
the parent referred to in that subsection is deemed to be the same corporation as, and a continuation of, the subsidiary referred to in that subsection, and
the parent is deemed not to acquire any property of the subsidiary as a result of the winding-up.
Subsection (2) applies to an investment in a subject corporation made by a CRIC to which, in the absence of this subsection, subsection (2) would not apply because of subsection (16), to the extent that one or more properties received by the subject corporation from the CRIC as a result of the investment, or property substituted for any such property, may reasonably be considered to have been used by the subject corporation, directly or indirectly as part of a series of transactions or events that includes the making of the investment, in a transaction or event to which subsection (2) would have applied if the CRIC had entered into the transaction, or participated in the event, as the case may be, instead of the subject corporation.
Subsection (2) does not apply to an investment in a subject corporation made by a CRIC to which, in the absence of this subsection, subsection (2) would apply, if the CRIC demonstrates that
all the properties received by the subject corporation from the CRIC as a result of the investment were used, at a particular time that is within 30 days after the investment time and at all times after the particular time, by the subject corporation to make a loan to a particular corporation that was, at the time of the loan, a controlled foreign affiliate of the CRIC for the purposes of section 17;
the particular corporation is, throughout the period that begins at the investment time and during which the series of transactions or events that includes the making of the loan occurs, a corporation in which an investment made by the CRIC would not be subject to subsection (2) because of subsection (16); and
the particular corporation uses, throughout the period during which the loan is outstanding, the proceeds of the loan in an active business (as defined in subsection 95(1)) carried on by it in the country in which it is resident.
For the purposes of this section, subsection 17.1(1) (as it applies in respect of a pertinent loan or indebtedness as defined in subsection (11)), paragraph 128.1(1)(c.3) and subsection 219.1(2),
any transaction entered into, or event participated in, by a partnership is deemed to have been entered into, or participated in, as the case may be, by each member of the partnership in the proportion that the fair market value, at the time of the transaction or event, of the member’s interest — held directly or indirectly through one or more other partnerships — in the partnership is of the fair market value, at that time, of all direct interests in the partnership;
if at any time, based on the assumptions contained in paragraph 96(1)(c), property would be owned by a partnership, that property is deemed to be owned at that time by each member of the partnership in the proportion that the fair market value, at that time, of the member’s interest — held directly or indirectly through one or more other partnerships — in the partnership is of the fair market value, at that time, of all direct interests in the partnership;
if at any time there is an increase (including, for greater certainty, as a result of a particular acquisition of an interest in a partnership in which, immediately prior to the particular acquisition, the member did not have an interest) in the portion of a property that is deemed under paragraph (b) to be owned by a member of a partnership, the member is deemed at that time
to acquire the additional portion of the property, and
to transfer property that relates to the acquisition of the additional portion and that has a fair market value equal to the fair market value at that time of the additional portion;
if at any time, based on the assumptions contained in paragraph 96(1)(c), an amount would be owing by a partnership, that amount is deemed to be owed by each member of the partnership in the proportion that the fair market value, at that time, of the member’s interest — held directly or indirectly through one or more other partnerships — in the partnership is of the fair market value, at that time, of all direct interests in the partnership;
if a member of a partnership enters into a transaction, or participates in an event, with the partnership, paragraph (a) does not apply to the transaction or event to the extent that the transaction or event would, in the absence of this paragraph, be deemed by paragraph (a) to have been entered into, or participated in, as the case may be, by the member; and
a person or partnership that is (or is deemed by this paragraph to be) a member of a particular partnership that is a member of another partnership is deemed to be a member of the other partnership.
Tax is not payable by a non-resident person under subsection 212(2) on a dividend in respect of a share of the capital stock of a foreign business corporation if not less than 90% of the total of the received or receivable by it that are required to be included in computing its income for the taxation year in which the dividend was paid was received or receivable in respect of the operation by it of public utilities or from mining, transporting and processing of ore in a country in which
if the non-resident person is an individual, the non-resident person resides; or
if the non-resident person is a corporation, individuals who own more than 50% of its share capital (having full voting rights under all circumstances) reside.
For the purposes of this section, if 90% of the total of the received or receivable by a corporation that are required to be included in computing its income for a taxation year was received or receivable in respect of the operation by it of public utilities or from the mining, transporting and processing of ore, an amount received or receivable in that year from that corporation by another corporation shall, if it is required to be included in computing the receiving corporation’s income for the year, be deemed to have been received by the receiving corporation in respect of the operation by it of public utilities or from the mining, transporting and processing of ore by it in the country in which the public utilities were operated or the mining, transporting and processing of ore was carried out by the payer corporation.
For the purposes of this section, a corporation shall be deemed to be a foreign business corporation at a particular time if it would have been a foreign business corporation within the meaning of section 71 of the Income Tax Act, chapter 148 of the Revised Statutes of Canada, 1952 (as that section read in its application to the 1971 taxation year), for the taxation year of the corporation in which the particular time occurred, if that section had been applicable to that taxation year.
The tax payable under section 212 is payable on the amounts described therein without any deduction from those whatever.

Where, if section 76 were applicable in computing a non-resident person’s income, that section would require an amount to be included in computing the income, that amount shall, for the purpose of this Part, be deemed to have been, at the time the non-resident person received the security, right, certificate or other evidence of indebtedness, paid to the non-resident person on account of the debt in respect of which the non-resident person received it.
Subsection 214(4) is enacted for greater certainty and shall not be construed as limiting the generality of the other provisions of this Part defining on which tax is payable.
Where, in respect of interest stipulated to be payable, on a bond, debenture, bill, note, mortgage, hypothecary claim or similar obligation that has been assigned or otherwise transferred by a non-resident person to a person resident in Canada, subsection 20(14) would, if Part I were applicable, require an amount to be included in computing the transferor’s income, that amount is, for the purposes of this Part, deemed to be a payment of interest on that obligation made by the transferee to the transferor at the time of the assignment or other transfer of the obligation, if
the obligation was issued by a person resident in Canada;
the obligation was not an obligation described in paragraph 214(8)(a) or 214(8)(b); and
the assignment or other transfer is not an assignment or other transfer referred to in paragraph 214(7.1)(b).
Where
a non-resident person has at any time assigned or otherwise transferred to a person resident in Canada a bond, debenture, bill, note, mortgage, hypothecary claim or similar obligation issued by a person resident in Canada,
the obligation was not an excluded obligation, and
the assignment or other transfer is not an assignment or other transfer referred to in paragraph 214(7.1)(b),

Where
a person resident in Canada has at a particular time assigned or otherwise transferred an obligation to a non-resident person,

subsection 214(6) or 214(7) would apply with respect to the assignment or other transfer referred to in paragraph 214(7.1)(b), if those subsections were read without reference to paragraphs 214(6)(c) and 214(7)(c),

that is not an indexed debt obligation and that was issued for an amount not less than 97% of the principal amount thereof, and the yield from which, expressed in terms of an annual rate on the amount for which the obligation was issued (which annual rate shall, if the terms of the obligation or any agreement relating thereto conferred on the holder thereof a right to demand payment of the principal amount of the obligation or the amount outstanding as or on account of the principal amount thereof, as the case may be, before the maturity of the obligation, be calculated on the basis of the yield that produces the highest annual rate obtainable either on the maturity of the obligation or conditional on the exercise of any such right) does not exceed 4/3 of the interest stipulated to be payable on the obligation, expressed in terms of an annual rate on
the principal amount thereof, if no amount is payable on account of the principal amount before the maturity of the obligation, and
the amount outstanding from time to time as or on account of the principal amount thereof, in any other case.
Where
the assignment or other transfer of an obligation to a non-resident person carrying on business in Canada would be described in subsection 214(6) or 214(7) if those subsections were read without reference to paragraphs 214(6)(c) and 214(7)(c) and if that non-resident person were a person resident in Canada, and
that non-resident person
may deduct, under subsection 20(14), in computing the non-resident person’s taxable income earned in Canada for a taxation year an amount in respect of interest on the obligation, or
may deduct, under Part I, in computing the non-resident person’s taxable income earned in Canada for a taxation year an amount in respect of any amount paid on account of the principal amount of the obligation,
the non-resident person shall, with respect to the assignment or other transfer of the obligation, be deemed, for thepurposes of this Part, to be a person resident in Canada.
Where a non-resident person has assigned or otherwise transferred to a person resident in Canada an obligation
on which an amount of interest was deemed by subsection 214(6) or 214(7) to have been paid, and
that the non-resident person had previously acquired from a person resident in Canada,
the amount of the tax under this Part that the non-resident person is liable to pay in respect thereof shall be deemed, for the purpose of subsection 227(6), to be that proportion of the tax the non-resident person would otherwise have been liable to pay in respect thereof that
the number of days in the period commencing with the day the obligation was last acquired by the non-resident person from a person resident in Canada and ending with the day the obligation was last assigned or otherwise transferred by the non-resident person to a person resident in Canada
is of
the number of days in the period commencing with the day the obligation was issued and ending with the day the obligation was last assigned or otherwise transferred by the non-resident person to a person resident in Canada.
[Repealed, 2007, c. 35, s. 60]
Subsection 214(2) does not apply in respect of a payment to a non-resident person under any obligation in respect of which that person is liable to pay tax under this Part by reason of subsection 214(7) or 214(7.1).
The Governor in Council may make general or special regulations, for the purposes of this Part, prescribing

where a non-resident person has entered into an agreement under the terms of which the non-resident person agrees to guarantee the repayment, in whole or in part, of the principal amount of a bond, debenture, bill, note, mortgage, hypothecary claim or similar obligation of a person resident in Canada, any amount paid or credited as consideration for the guarantee is deemed to be a payment of interest on that obligation; and
where a non-resident person has entered into an agreement under the terms of which the non-resident person agrees to lend money, or to make money available, to a person resident in Canada, any amount paid or credited as consideration for so agreeing to lend money or to make money available shall, if the non-resident person would be liable to tax under this Part in respect of interest payable on any obligation issued under the terms of the agreement on the date it was entered into, be deemed to be a payment of interest.
For the purposes of this Part,
an amount paid or credited as interest by a corporation resident in Canada, or by a partnership, in a taxation year of the corporation to a non-resident person is deemed to have been paid by the corporation as a dividend, and not to have been paid or credited by the corporation or the partnership as interest, to the extent that an amount in respect of the interest
is not deductible in computing the income of the corporation for the year because of subsection 18(4), or
is included in computing the income of the corporation for the year under paragraph 12(1)(l.1); and
to the extent that amounts paid or credited to a non-resident person in the year are deemed by paragraph (a) to have been paid by a corporation as dividends, the corporation may designate in its return of income under Part I for the year which amounts paid or credited as interest to the non-resident person in the year are deemed to have been paid as dividends and not as interest.
For the purposes of subsection (16),
interest payable (other than interest payable pursuant to a legal obligation to pay interest on an amount of interest) by a corporation resident in Canada, or by a partnership, in respect of a taxation year of the corporation, but that has not been paid or credited in the year, is deemed to have been paid immediately before the end of the year and not to have been paid or credited at any other time; and
if subsection (6) or (7) deems a payment of interest to have been made to a non-resident person in respect of a debt or other obligation of a corporation, interest that, at the time of the transfer or assignment, is payable by the corporation in respect of the debt or other obligation and has not been paid or credited is deemed to have been paid by the corporation immediately before that time to the non-resident person.
When a person pays, credits or provides, or is deemed to have paid, credited or provided, an amount on which an income tax is payable under this Part, or would be so payable if this Act were read without reference to subparagraph 94(3)(a)(viii) and to subsection 216.1(1), the person shall, notwithstanding any agreement or law to the contrary, deduct or withhold from it the amount of the tax and forthwith remit that amount to the Receiver General on behalf of the non-resident person on account of the tax and shall submit with the remittance a statement in prescribed form.

The Governor in Council may make regulations with reference to any non-resident person or class of non-resident persons who carries or carry on business in Canada, providing that subsections 215(1) to 215(3) are not applicable to amounts paid to or credited to that person or those persons and requiring the person or persons to file an annual return on a prescribed form and to pay the tax imposed by this Part within a time limited in the regulations.
The Governor in Council may make regulations in respect of any non-resident person or class of non-resident persons to whom any amount is paid or credited as, on account of, in lieu of payment of or in satisfaction of, any amount described in any of paragraphs 212(1)(h), (j) to (m) and (q) reducing the amount otherwise required by any of subsections (1) to (3) to be deducted or withheld from the amount so paid or credited.
Where a person has failed to deduct or withhold any amount as required by this section from an amount paid or credited or deemed to have been paid or credited to a non-resident person, that person is liable to pay as tax under this Part on behalf of the non-resident person the whole of the amount that should have been deducted or withheld, and is entitled to deduct or withhold from any amount paid or credited by that person to the non-resident person or otherwise recover from the non-resident person any amount paid by that person as tax under this Part on behalf thereof.
If an amount has been paid during a taxation year to a non-resident person or to a partnership of which that person was a member as, on account of, in lieu of payment of or in satisfaction of, rent on real or immovable property in Canada or a timber royalty, that person may, within two years (or, if that person has filed an undertaking described in subsection (4) in respect of the year, within six months) after the end of the year, file a return of income under Part I for that year in prescribed form. On so filing and without affecting the liability of the non-resident person for tax otherwise payable under Part I, the non-resident person is, in lieu of paying tax under this Part on that amount, liable to pay tax under Part I for the year as though
the non-resident person were a person resident in Canada and not exempt from tax under section 149;
the non-resident person’s income from the non-resident person’s interest in real property, or real right in immovables, in Canada and interest in, or for civil law right in, timber resource properties and timber limits in Canada, and the non-resident person’s share of the income of a partnership of which the non-resident person was a member from its interest in real property, or real right in immovables, in Canada and interest in, or for civil law right in, timber resource properties and timber limits in Canada, were the non-resident person’s only income;

rent on real or immovable property or from timber royalties paid to the person, and
the person’s share of the rent on real or immovable property or from timber royalties paid to a partnership of which the person is a member
and remitted to the Receiver General shall be deemed to have been paid on account of tax under this section and any portion of the amount so remitted to the Receiver General in a taxation year on the person’s behalf in excess of the person’s liability for tax under this Act for the year shall be refunded to the person.
Part I is applicable, with such modifications as the circumstances require, to payment of tax under this section.
If a non-resident person or, in the case of a partnership, each non-resident person who is a member of the partnership files with the Minister an undertaking in prescribed form to file within six months after the end of a taxation year a return of income under Part I for the year as permitted by this section, a person who is otherwise required by subsection 215(3) to remit in the year, in respect of the non-resident person or the partnership, an amount to the Receiver General in payment of tax on rent on real or immovable property or on a timber royalty may elect under this section not to remit under that subsection, and if that election is made, the elector shall,
when any amount is available out of the rent or royalty received for remittance to the non-resident person or the partnership, as the case may be, deduct 25% of the amount available and remit the amount deducted to the Receiver General on behalf of the non-resident person or the partnership on account of the tax under this Part; and
if the non-resident person or, in the case of a partnership, a non-resident person who is a member of the partnership

pay to the Receiver General, on account of the non-resident person’s or the partnership’s tax under this Part, on the expiration of the time for filing or payment, as the case may be, the full amount that the elector would otherwise have been required to remit in the year in respect of the rent or royalty minus the that the elector has remitted in the year under paragraph 216(4)(a) in respect of the rent or royalty.
If a trust is deemed by subsection 94(3) to be resident in Canada for a taxation year for the purpose of computing the trust’s income for the year, a person who is otherwise required by subsection 215(3) to remit in the year, in respect of the trust, an amount to the Receiver General in payment of tax on rent on real or immovable property or on a timber royalty may elect in prescribed form filed with the Minister under this subsection not to remit under subsection 215(3) in respect of amounts received after the election is made, and if that election is made, the elector shall,
when any amount is available out of the rent or royalty received for remittance to the trust, deduct 25% of the amount available and remit the amount deducted to the Receiver General on behalf of the trust on account of the trust’s tax under Part I; and
if the trust does not file a return for the year as required by section 150, or does not pay the tax that the trust is liable to pay under Part I for the year within the time required by that Part, on the expiration of the time for filing or payment, as the case may be, pay to the Receiver General, on account of the trust’s tax under Part I, the amount by which the full amount that the elector would otherwise have been required to remit in the year in respect of the rent or royalty exceeds the amounts that the elector has remitted in the year under paragraph (a) in respect of the rent or royalty.
If a person or a trust under which a person is a beneficiary has filed a return of income under Part I for a taxation year as permitted by this section or as required by section 150 and, in computing the amount of the person’s income under Part I an amount has been deducted under paragraph 20(1)(a), or is deemed by subsection 107(2) to have been allowed under that paragraph, in respect of property that is real property in Canada — or an interest therein — or an immovable in Canada — or a real right therein —, a timber resource property or a timber limit in Canada, the person shall file a return of income under Part I in prescribed form on or before the person’s filing-due date for any subsequent taxation year in which the person is non-resident and in which the person, or a partnership of which the person is a member, disposes of that property or any interest, or for civil law any right, in it. On so filing and without affecting the person’s liability for tax otherwise payable under Part I, the person is, in lieu of paying tax under this Part on any amount paid, or deemed by this Part to have been paid, in that subsequent taxation year in respect of any interest in, or for civil law any right in, that property to the person or to a partnership of which the person is a member, liable to pay tax under Part I for that subsequent taxation year as though
the person were a person resident in Canada and not exempt from tax under section 149;
the person’s income from the person’s interest in real property, or real right in immovables, in Canada or interest in, or for civil law right in, timber resource properties and timber limits in Canada, and the person’s share of the income of a partnership of which the person was a member from its interest in real property, or real right in immovables, in Canada or interest in, or for civil law right in, timber resource properties and timber limits in Canada, were the person’s only income;
the person were entitled to no deductions from income for the purpose of computing the person’s taxable income; and
the person were entitled to no deductions under sections 118 to 118.9 in computing the person’s tax payable under Part I for the year.
Subsection 216(5) does not apply to require a non-resident person
to file a return of income under Part I for a taxation year unless, by filing that return, there would be included in computing the non-resident person’s income under Part I for that year an amount by virtue of section 13; or
to include in computing the non-resident person’s income for a taxation year any amount to the extent that that amount has been included in computing the non-resident person’s taxable income earned in Canada for that taxation year by virtue of any provision of this Act other than subsection 216(5).
[Repealed, 2013, c. 34, s. 349]
For greater certainty, in determining the amount of tax payable by a non-resident person under Part I for a taxation year by reason of subsection 216(1) or 216(5), no deduction in computing the non-resident person’s income or tax payable under Part I for the year shall be made to the extent that such a deduction by non-resident persons is not permitted under Part I.
No tax is payable under this Part on any amount described in subsection 212(5.1) that is paid, credited or provided to a non-resident person in a taxation year if the person
files with the Minister, on or before the person’s filing-due date for the year, a return of income under Part I for the year; and
elects in the return to have this section apply for the year.
If in respect of a particular amount paid, credited or provided in a taxation year, a non-resident person has complied with paragraphs (1)(a) and (b), any amount deducted or withheld and remitted to the Receiver General on behalf of the person on account of tax under subsection 212(5.1) in respect of the particular amount is deemed to have been paid on account of the person’s tax under Part I.
Where a corporation payment (within the meaning assigned by subsection 212(5.2)) has been made to a non-resident corporation in respect of an actor and at any time the corporation makes an actor payment (within the meaning assigned by subsection 212(5.2)) to or for the benefit of the actor, if the corporation makes an election under subsection (1) for the taxation year in which the corporation payment is made, the actor is deemed to make an election under subsection (1) for the taxation year of the actor in which the corporation makes the actor payment.
In this section, a non-resident person’s “Canadian benefits” for a taxation year is the total of all amounts each of which is an amount paid or credited in the year and in respect of which tax under this Part would, but for this section, be payable by the person because of any of paragraphs 212(1)(h), (j) to (m) and (q).
No tax is payable under this Part in respect of a non-resident person’s Canadian benefits for a taxation year if the person
files with the Minister, within 6 months after the end of the year, a return of income under Part I for the year; and
elects in the return to have this section apply for the year.
Where a non-resident person elects under paragraph (2)(b) for a taxation year, for the purposes of Part I
the person is deemed to have been employed in Canada in the year; and
the person’s taxable income earned in Canada for the year is deemed to be the greater of
the amount that would, but for subparagraph (ii), be the person’s taxable income earned in Canada for the year if
paragraph 115(1)(a) included the following subparagraph after subparagraph (i):
the non-resident person’s Canadian benefits for the year, within the meaning assigned by subsection 217(1),”, and
paragraph 115(1)(f) were read as follows:
such of the other deductions permitted for the purpose of computing taxable income as can reasonably be considered wholly applicable to the amounts described in subparagraphs 115(1)(a)(i) to (vi).”; and
the person’s income (computed without reference to subsection 56(8)) for the year minus the total of such of the deductions permitted for the purpose of computing taxable income as can reasonably be considered wholly applicable to the amounts described in subparagraphs 115(1)(a)(i) to (vi).
Sections 118 to 118.91 and 118.94 do not apply in computing the tax payable under Part I for a taxation year by a non-resident person who elects under paragraph (2)(b) for the year, unless
where section 114 applies to the person for the year, all or substantially all of the person’s income for the year is included in computing the person’s taxable income for the year; or
in any other case, all or substantially all of the person’s income for the year is included in computing the amount determined under subparagraph (3)(b)(i) in respect of the person for the year.
In computing the tax payable under Part I for a taxation year by a non-resident person to whom neither paragraph (4)(a) nor paragraph (4)(b) applies for the year there may, notwithstanding section 118.94 and subsection (4), be deducted the lesser of
the total of
such of the that would have been deductible under any of section 118.2, subsections 118.3(2) and 118.3(3) and sections 118.6, 118.8 and 118.9 in computing the person’s tax payable under Part I for the year if the person had been resident in Canada throughout the year, as can reasonably be considered wholly applicable, and
the amounts that would have been deductible under any of sections 118 and 118.1, subsection 118.3(1) and sections 118.5 and 118.7 in computing the person’s tax payable under Part I for the year if the person had been resident in Canada throughout the year, and
the appropriate percentage for the year of the person’s Canadian benefits for the year.
In computing the tax payable under Part I for a taxation year by a non-resident who elects under paragraph (2)(b) for the year, there may be deducted the amount determined by the formula A × [(B - C) / B] where A is the amount of tax under Part I that would, but for this subsection, be payable by the person for the year; B is the amount determined under subparagraph (3)(b)(ii) in respect of the person for the year; and C is the amount determined under subparagraph (3)(b)(i) in respect of the person for the year.
For the purposes of this Act, where
a non-resident corporation (in this section referred to as the “parent corporation”) is indebted to
a person resident in Canada, or
a non-resident insurance corporation carrying on business in Canada,
(in this section referred to as the “creditor”) under an arrangement whereby the parent corporation is required to pay interest in Canadian currency, and
the parent corporation has lent the money in respect of which it is so indebted, or a part thereof, to a subsidiary wholly-owned corporation resident in Canada whose principal business is the making of loans (in this section referred to as the “subsidiary corporation”) under an arrangement whereby the subsidiary corporation is required to repay the loan to the parent corporation with interest at the same rate as is payable by the parent corporation to the creditor,
the amount so lent by the parent corporation to the subsidiary corporation shall be deemed to have been borrowed by the parent corporation as agent of the subsidiary corporation and interest paid by the subsidiary corporation to the parent corporation that has been paid by the parent corporation to the creditor shall be deemed to have been paid by the subsidiary corporation to the creditor and not by the subsidiary corporation to the parent corporation or by the parent corporation to the creditor.
Where a parent corporation has lent money to a subsidiary wholly-owned corporation resident in Canada whose principal business is not the making of loans and the money has been lent by that corporation to a subsidiary corporation wholly-owned by it and resident in Canada whose principal business is the making of loans, the loan by the parent corporation shall be deemed, for the purpose of subsection 218(1), to have been a loan to a subsidiary wholly-owned corporation whose principal business is the making of loans.
This section does not apply in respect of any payment of interest unless the parent corporation and the creditor have executed, and filed with the Minister, an election in prescribed form.
An election filed under subsection 218(3) does not apply in respect of any payment of interest made more than 12 months before the date on which the election was filed with the Minister.
In respect of life insurance policies for which all or any part of an insurer’s reserves vary in amount depending on the fair market value of a specified group of properties, the rules contained in section 138.1 apply for the purposes of this Part.
Every authorized foreign bank shall pay a tax under this Part for each taxation year equal to 25% of its taxable interest expense for the year.
The taxable interest expense of an authorized foreign bank for a taxation year is 15% of the amount, if any, by which
the total of all amounts on account of interest that are deducted under section 20.2 in computing the bank’s income for the year from its Canadian banking business
exceeds
the total of all amounts that are included in paragraph (a) and that are in respect of a liability of the bank to another person or partnership.
No tax is payable under this Part for a taxation year by an authorized foreign bank if
the bank is resident in a country with which Canada has a tax treaty at the end of the year; and
no tax similar to the tax under this Part would be payable in that country for the year by a bank resident in Canada carrying on business in that country during the year.
Notwithstanding any other provision of this Act, the reference in subsection (1) to 25% shall, in respect of a taxation year of an authorized foreign bank that is resident in a country with which Canada has a tax treaty on the last day of the year, be read as a reference to,
if the treaty specifies the maximum rate of tax that Canada may impose under this Part for the year on residents of that country, that rate;
if the treaty does not specify a maximum rate as described in paragraph (a) but does specify the maximum rate of tax that Canada may impose on a payment of interest in the year by a person resident in Canada to a related person resident in that country, that rate; and
in any other case, 25%.
Sections 150 to 152, 158, 159, 160.1 and 161 to 167 and Division J of Part I apply to this Part with any modifications that the circumstances require.
The following definitions apply in this Part.
assessable distribution, in respect of a Canadian property mutual fund investment, means the portion of any amount that is paid or credited (otherwise than as a SIFT trust wind-up event), by the mutual fund that issued the investment, to a non-resident investor who holds the investment, and that is not otherwise subject to tax under Part I or Part XIII. (distribution déterminée)
Canadian property mutual fund investment means a share of the capital stock of a mutual fund corporation, or a unit of a mutual fund trust, if
the share or unit is listed on a designated stock exchange; and
more than 50% of the fair market value of the share or unit is attributable to one or more properties each of which is real property in Canada, a Canadian resource property or a timber resource property. (placement collectif en biens canadiens)
Canadian property mutual fund loss — of a non-resident investor for a taxation year for which the non-resident investor has filed, on or before their filing-due date for the taxation year, a return of income under this Part in prescribed form, in respect of a Canadian property mutual fund investment — means the lesser of
the non-resident investor’s loss (for greater certainty as determined under section 40) for the taxation year from the disposition of the Canadian property mutual fund investment, and
the total of all assessable distributions that were paid or credited on the Canadian property mutual fund investment after the non-resident investor last acquired the investment and at or before the time of the disposition. (perte collective en biens canadiens)
non-resident investor means a non-resident person or a partnership other than a Canadian partnership. (investisseur non résident)
unused Canadian property mutual fund loss, of a non-resident investor for a taxation year, means the portion of the total of the non-resident investor’s Canadian mutual fund property losses for preceding taxation years that has neither reduced under subsection (3) the amount of tax payable, nor increased under subsection (5) the amount of a refund of tax paid, under this Part for any preceding taxation year. (perte collective en biens canadiens inutilisée)
If at any time a person (referred to in this section as the “payer”) pays or credits, to a non-resident investor who holds a Canadian property mutual fund investment, an amount as, on account of, in lieu of payment of or in satisfaction of, an assessable distribution,
the non-resident investor is deemed for the purposes of this Act, other than section 150, to have disposed at that time, for proceeds equal to the amount of the assessable distribution, of a property
that is a taxable Canadian property the adjusted cost base of which to the non-resident investor immediately before that time is nil, and
that is in all other respects identical to the Canadian property mutual fund investment;
the non-resident investor is liable to pay an income tax of 15% on the amount of any gain (for greater certainty as determined under section 40) from the disposition; and
the payer shall, notwithstanding any agreement or law to the contrary,
deduct or withhold 15% from the amount paid or credited,
immediately remit that amount to the Receiver General on behalf of the non-resident investor on account of the tax, and
submit with the remittance a statement in prescribed form.
If a non-resident investor files, on or before their filing-due date for a taxation year, a return of income under this Part in prescribed form for the taxation year, the non-resident investor is liable, instead of paying tax under paragraph (2)(b) in respect of any amount paid or credited in the taxation year, to pay an income tax of 15% for the taxation year on the amount, if any, by which
the total of the non-resident investor’s gains under subsection (2) for the taxation year
exceeds
the total of the non-resident investor’s Canadian property mutual fund losses for the year and the non-resident investor’s unused Canadian property mutual fund loss for the taxation year.
If a non-resident investor files, on or before their filing-due date for a taxation year, a return of income under this Part in prescribed form for the taxation year, any amount that is remitted to the Receiver General in respect of an assessable distribution paid or credited to the non-resident investor in the taxation year is deemed to have been paid on account of the non-resident investor’s tax under subsection (3) for the taxation year.
The amount, if any, by which the total of all amounts paid on account of a non-resident investor’s tax under subsection (3) for a taxation year exceeds the non-resident investor’s liability for tax under this Part for the taxation year shall be refunded to the non-resident investor.
If a non-resident investor files, on or before their filing-due date for a taxation year, a return of income under this Part in prescribed form for the taxation year, the Minister shall refund to the non-resident investor an amount equal to the lesser of
the total amount of tax under this Part paid by the non-resident investor in each of the three preceding taxation years, to the extent that the Minister has not previously refunded that tax, and
15% of the amount, if any, by which
the total of the non-resident investor’s Canadian property mutual fund losses for the taxation year and the non-resident investor’s unused Canadian property mutual fund loss for the taxation year
exceeds
the total of all assessable distributions paid or credited to the non-resident investor in the taxation year.
In applying subsection (6), amounts of tax are to be considered to be refunded in the order in which they were paid.
For the purposes of this Part, the taxation year of a partnership is its fiscal period and the filing-due date for the taxation year is to be determined as if the partnership were a corporation.
If a non-resident investor is a partnership a member of which is resident in Canada, the portion of the tax paid by the partnership under this Part in respect of an assessable distribution paid or credited to the partnership in a particular taxation year of the partnership (or, if the partnership files a return of income for the particular taxation year in accordance with subsection (3), the portion of the tax paid by the partnership under that subsection for the taxation year) that can reasonably be considered to be the member’s share is deemed
to be an amount paid on account of that member’s liability for tax under Part I for that member’s taxation year in which the particular taxation year of the partnership ends; and
except for the purposes of this subsection, to be neither a tax paid on account of the partnership’s tax under this Part nor a tax paid by the partnership.
Section 150.1, subsections 161(1), (7) and (11), sections 162 to 167, Division J of Part I, paragraph 214(3)(f), subsections 215(2), (3) and (6) and sections 227 and 227.1 apply to this Part with any modifications that the circumstances require.
Every corporation that is non-resident in a taxation year shall, on or before its balance-due day for the year, pay a tax under this Part for the year equal to 25% of the amount, if any, by which the total of
the corporation’s taxable income earned in Canada for the year (in this subsection referred to as the corporation’s “base amount”),
the amount deducted because of section 112 and paragraph 115(1)(e) in computing the corporation’s base amount,
[Repealed, 2003, c. 28, s. 17]
the amount, if any, by which the total of all amounts each of which is a taxable capital gain of the corporation for the year from a disposition of a taxable Canadian property exceeds the total of all amounts each of which is
an allowable capital loss of the corporation for the year from a disposition of a taxable Canadian property, or
an amount deductible because of paragraphs 111(1)(b) and 115(1)(d) in computing the corporation’s base amount,
the total of all amounts each of which is an amount in respect of a grant or credit that
can reasonably be considered to have been received by the corporation in the year as a reimbursement or repayment of, or as indemnification or compensation for, an amount deducted because of paragraph (j), as it read in its application to the 1995 taxation year, in computing the amount determined under this subsection for a preceding taxation year that began before 1996, and
was not included in computing the corporation’s base amount for any taxation year,
where, at any time in the year, the corporation has made one or more dispositions described in paragraph 219(219)(l) of qualified property, the total of all amounts each of which is an amount in respect of one of those dispositions equal to the amount, if any, by which the fair market value of the qualified property at the time of the disposition exceeds the corporation’s proceeds of disposition of the property, and
the amount, if any, claimed for the immediately preceding taxation year under paragraph 219(1)(j) by the corporation,
exceeds the total of
that proportion of the total of
the total of the taxes payable under Parts I, I.3 and VI for the year by the corporation, determined without reference to subsection 219(1.1), and
the total of the income taxes payable to the government of a province for the year by the corporation, determined without reference to subsection 219(1.1),
that the corporation’s base amount is of the amount that would, if this Act were read without reference to subsection 219(1.1), be the corporation’s base amount,
the total of all amounts each of which is the amount of interest or a penalty paid by the corporation in the year
under this Act, or
on or in respect of an income tax payable by it to the government of a province under a law of the province relating to income tax,
to the extent that the interest or penalty was not deductible in computing its base amount for any taxation year,
where the corporation was carrying on business in Canada at the end of the year, the amount claimed by the corporation for the year, not exceeding the amount prescribed to be its allowance for the year in respect of its investment in property in Canada, and
[Repealed, 2003, c. 28, s. 17]
where the corporation has at any time in the year disposed of property (in this paragraph and paragraph 219(1)(f) referred to as “qualified property”) used by it immediately before that time for the purpose of gaining or producing income from a business carried on by it in Canada to a Canadian corporation (in this paragraph referred to as the “purchaser corporation”) that was, immediately after the disposition, a qualified related corporation of the corporation for consideration that includes a share of the capital stock of the purchaser corporation, the total of all amounts each of which is an amount in respect of a disposition in the year of a qualified property equal to the amount, if any, by which
the fair market value of the qualified property at the time of the disposition
exceeds the total of
the amount, if any, by which the paid-up capital in respect of the issued and outstanding shares of the capital stock of the purchaser corporation increased because of the disposition, and
the fair market value, at the time of receipt, of the consideration (other than shares) given by the purchaser corporation for the qualified property.
For the purposes of subsection (1), the definition taxable Canadian property in subsection 248(1) shall be read without reference to paragraphs (a) and (c) to (e) of that definition and as if the only options, interests or rights referred to in paragraph (f) of that definition were those in respect of property described in paragraph (b) of that definition.
No tax is payable under this Part for a taxation year by a corporation that was, throughout the year,
[Repealed, 2001, c. 17, s. 177]
a corporation whose principal business was
the transportation of persons or goods,
communications, or
mining iron ore in Canada; or
a corporation exempt from tax under section 149.
Sections 150 to 152, 154, 158, 159 and 161 to 167 and Division J of Part I are applicable to this Part with such modifications as the circumstances require.
No tax is payable under subsection 219(1) for a taxation year by a non-resident insurer, but where it elects, in prescribed manner and within the prescribed time, to deduct, in computing its Canadian investment fund as of the end of the immediately following taxation year, an amount not greater than the amount, if any, by which
the amount, if any, by which the total of
the insurer’s surplus funds derived from operations as of the end of the year, and
where, in any particular taxation year that began before the end of the year, the insurer transferred to a taxable Canadian corporation with which it did not deal at arm’s length any designated insurance property of the insurer for the particular year, and the amount, if any, by which exceeds
the property was transferred before December 16, 1987 and subsection 138(11.5) of the Income Tax Act, chapter 148 of the Revised Statutes of Canada, 1952, applied in respect of the transfer, or
the property was transferred before November 22, 1985 and subsection 85(1) of that Act applied in respect of the transfer,
the total of the fair market value, at the time of the transfer, of all such property
the total of the insurer’s proceeds of disposition of all such property,
exceeds the total of
each amount on which the insurer has paid tax under this Part for a previous taxation year,
the amount, if any, by which the insurer’s accumulated 1968 deficit exceeds the amount of the insurer’s maximum tax actuarial reserves for its 1968 taxation year for its life insurance policies in Canada,
the insurer’s loss, if any, for each of its 5 consecutive taxation years ending with its 1968 taxation year, from all insurance businesses (other than its life insurance business) carried on by it in Canada (computed without reference to section 30 of the Income Tax Act, chapter 148 of the Revised Statutes of Canada, 1952, as it read in its application to those years), except to the extent that any such loss was deductible in computing its taxable income for any of its taxation years ending before 1969, and
the total of all amounts in respect of which the insurer has filed an election under subsection 219(5.2) for a previous taxation year in accordance with that subsection,
exceeds
the amount of the insurer’s attributed surplus for the year,
the insurer shall, on or before the day on or before which it is required to file a return under Part I for the year, pay a tax for the year equal to 25% of the amount, if any, by which the amount it has so elected to deduct exceeds the amount in respect of which it filed an election under subsection 219(5.2) for the year in accordance with that subsection.
Where a non-resident insurer ceases in a taxation year to carry on all or substantially all of an insurance business in Canada, it shall, on or before its filing-due date for the year, pay a tax for the year equal to 25% of the amount, if any, by which
that portion of the amount determined under paragraph 219(4)(a) for the year in respect of the insurer that can reasonably be attributed to the business, including the disposition by it of property that was its designated insurance property in respect of the business for the year in which the disposition occurred,
exceeds
the amount the insurer and a qualified related corporation of the insurer jointly elect in accordance with subsection 219(5.2) for the year in respect of the business.
Where
a non-resident insurer has ceased to carry on all or substantially all of an insurance business in Canada in a taxation year, and
the insurer has transferred the business to a qualified related corporation of the insurer and the insurer and the corporation have elected to have subsection 138(11.5) apply in respect of the transfer,
the insurer and the corporation may elect, in prescribed manner and within prescribed time, to reduce the amount in respect of which the insurer would otherwise be liable to pay tax under subsection 219(5.1) by an amount not exceeding the lesser of
the amount determined under paragraph 219(5.1)(a) in respect of the insurer in respect of the business, and
the total of the paid-up capital of the shares of the capital stock of the corporation received by the insurer as consideration for the transfer of the business and any contributed surplus arising on the issue of those shares.
Where, at any time in a taxation year,
a qualified related corporation of a non-resident insurer ceases to be a qualified related corporation of that insurer, or
the tax deferred account of a qualified related corporation of a non-resident insurer exceeds the total of the paid-up capital in respect of all the shares of the capital stock of the corporation and its contributed surplus,
the corporation shall be deemed to have paid, immediately before that time, a dividend to the insurer in an amount equal to
where paragraph 219(5.3)(a) is applicable, the balance of the tax deferred account of the corporation at that time, or
where paragraph 219(5.3)(b) is applicable, the amount of the excess referred to in that paragraph at that time.
In this Part,
accumulated 1968 deficit of a life insurer means such amount as can be established by the insurer to be its deficit as of the end of its 1968 taxation year from carrying on its life insurance business in Canada on the assumption that the amounts of its assets and liabilities (including reserves of any kind)
as of the end of any taxation year before its 1968 taxation year, were the amounts thereof determined for the purposes of the Superintendent of Insurance for Canada or other similar officer, and
as of the end of its 1968 taxation year, were
in respect of depreciable property, the capital cost thereof as of the first day of its 1969 taxation year,
in respect of policy reserves, the insurer’s maximum tax actuarial reserves for its 1968 taxation year for life insurance policies issued by it in the course of carrying on its life insurance business in Canada, and
in respect of other assets and liabilities, the amounts thereof determined as of the end of that year for the purpose of computing its income for its 1969 taxation year; (déficit accumulé pour 1968)
attributed surplus of an insurer for a taxation year has the meaning assigned by regulation; (surplus attribué)
Canadian investment fund has the meaning prescribed for that expression; (fonds de placement canadien)
maximum tax actuarial reserves has the meaning assigned by subsection 138(12); (provision actuarielle maximale aux fins d’impôt)
surplus funds derived from operations has the meaning assigned by subsection 138(12); (fonds excédentaire résultant de l’activité)
tax deferred account of a qualified related corporation at any time means the amount determined by the formula A - B where A is the total of all amounts each of which is an amount in respect of which the qualified related corporation and a non-resident insurer have elected jointly before that time in accordance with subsection 219(5.2), and B is the total of all amounts each of which is the amount of a dividend deemed by subsection 219(5.3) to have been paid by the qualified related corporation before that time. (compte d’impôt différé)
For the purposes of this Part, a corporation is a qualified related corporation of a particular corporation if it is resident in Canada and all of the issued and outstanding shares (other than directors’ qualifying shares) of its capital stock (having full voting rights under all circumstances) are owned by
the particular corporation,
a subsidiary wholly-owned corporation of the particular corporation,
a corporation of which the particular corporation is a subsidiary wholly-owned corporation,
a subsidiary wholly-owned corporation of a corporation of which the particular corporation is also a subsidiary wholly-owned corporation, or
any combination of corporations each of which is a corporation described in paragraph 219(8)(a), 219(8)(b), 219(8)(c) or 219(8)(d),
and, for the purpose of this subsection, a subsidiary wholly-owned corporation of a particular corporation includes any subsidiary wholly-owned corporation of a corporation that is a subsidiary wholly-owned corporation of the particular corporation.
If a taxation year of a corporation (in this subsection and subsection (2) referred to as the “emigrating corporation”) is deemed by paragraph 128.1(4)(a) to have ended at any time, the emigrating corporation shall, on or before its filing-due date for the year, pay a tax under this Part for the year equal to the amount determined by the formula 25% × (A – B) where A is the fair market value of all the property owned by the emigrating corporation immediately before that time; and B is the total of the paid-up capital in respect of all the shares of the capital stock of the emigrating corporation immediately before that time, all amounts (other than amounts payable by the emigrating corporation in respect of dividends and amounts payable under this section) each of which is a debt owing by the emigrating corporation, or an obligation of the emigrating corporation to pay an amount, that is outstanding at that time, and if a tax was payable by the emigrating corporation under subsection 219(1) or this section for a preceding taxation year that began before 1996 and after the emigrating corporation last became resident in Canada, four times the total of all amounts that would, but for sections 219.2 and 219.3 and any tax treaty, have been so payable.
The paid-up capital referred to in paragraph (a) of the description of B in subsection (1) is deemed to be nil if
one or more shares of the emigrating corporation are, at the time the emigrating corporation ceases to be resident in Canada, owned by another corporation resident in Canada;
the other corporation is controlled, at that time, by a non-resident corporation; and
the emigrating corporation is, immediately after that time — or becomes, as part of a transaction or event or series of transactions or events that includes the emigrating corporation ceasing to be resident in Canada — a foreign affiliate of the other corporation.
Subsection (4) applies if
a corporation ceases to be resident in Canada at any time (referred to in subsection (4) as the “emigration time”);
an amount is required by paragraph 212.3(2)(b) or (7)(b) to be deducted in computing the paid-up capital in respect of a class of shares of the capital stock of the corporation because of an investment in a subject corporation made by a CRIC that is described in paragraph 212.3(10)(a), (b) or (f);
subsection 212.3(9) has not applied in respect of any reduction of the paid-up capital in respect of a class of shares of the capital stock of the corporation or a specified predecessor corporation (as defined in subsection 95(1)) of the corporation; and
subsection (2) does not apply in respect of the cessation of residence.
If this subsection applies, the paid-up capital referred to in paragraph (a) of the description of B in subsection (1) is to be increased, immediately before the time that is immediately before the emigration time, by the lesser of
the total of all amounts each of which is an amount by which the paid-up capital of a class of shares of the capital stock of the corporation was required by paragraph 212.3(2)(b) or (7)(b) to be reduced in respect of an investment in a subject corporation made by the CRIC that is described in paragraph 212.3(10)(a), (b) or (f), and
the total of all amounts each of which is
the fair market value of a share of the capital stock of a subject corporation that is owned by the corporation immediately before the emigration time, or
the portion of the fair market value of a particular share of the capital stock of a foreign affiliate of the corporation owned by the corporation immediately before the emigration time that may reasonably be considered to relate to a share of the capital stock of a subject corporation that was previously owned by the corporation and for which the particular share was substituted.
For the purposes of subsections (3) and (4), CRIC and subject corporation have the meaning assigned to those terms by subsection 212.3(1) and investment has the same meaning as in subsection 212.3(10).
Notwithstanding any other provision of this Act, where an agreement or convention between the Government of Canada and the government of another country that has the force of law in Canada
does not limit the rate of tax under this Part on corporations resident in that other country, and
provides that, where a dividend is paid by a corporation resident in Canada to a corporation resident in that other country that owns all of the shares of the capital stock of the corporation resident in Canada, the rate of tax imposed on the dividend shall not exceed a specified rate,
any reference in section 219 to a rate of tax shall, in respect of a taxation year of a corporation to which that agreement or convention applies on the last day of that year, be read as a reference to the specified rate.
For the purpose of section 219.1, where an agreement or convention between the Government of Canada and the government of another country that has the force of law in Canada provides that the rate of tax imposed on a dividend paid by a corporation resident in Canada to a corporation resident in the other country that owns all of the shares of the capital stock of the corporation resident in Canada shall not exceed a specified rate, the reference in section 219.1 to “25%” shall, in respect of a corporation that ceased to be resident in Canada and to which the agreement or convention applies at the beginning of its first taxation year after its taxation year that is deemed by paragraph 128.1(4)(a) to have ended, be read as a reference to the specified rate unless it can reasonably be concluded that one of the main reasons that the corporation became resident in the other country was to reduce the amount of tax payable under this Part or Part XIII.
The Minister shall administer and enforce this Act and the Commissioner of Revenue may exercise all the powers and perform the duties of the Minister under this Act.
Such officers, clerks and employees as are necessary to administer and enforce this Act shall be appointed or employed in the manner authorized by law.
The Minister may authorize an officer or a class of officers to exercise powers or perform duties of the Minister under this Act.
Where any provision of this Act or a regulation requires a person to file a prescribed form, receipt or other document, or to provide prescribed information, the Minister may waive the requirement, but the person shall provide the document or information at the Minister’s request.
Subsection (2.1) does not apply in respect of a prescribed form, receipt or document, or prescribed information, that is filed with the Minister on or after the day specified, in respect of the form, receipt, document or information, in subsection 37(11) or paragraph (m) of the definition investment tax credit in subsection 127(9).
The Minister may at any time extend the time for making a return under this Act.
The Minister may, on or before the day that is ten calendar years after the end of a taxation year of a taxpayer (or in the case of a partnership, a fiscal period of the partnership) or on application by the taxpayer or partnership on or before that day, waive or cancel all or any portion of any penalty or interest otherwise payable under this Act by the taxpayer or partnership in respect of that taxation year or fiscal period, and notwithstanding subsections 152(4) to (5), any assessment of the interest and penalties payable by the taxpayer or partnership shall be made that is necessary to take into account the cancellation of the penalty or interest.
The Minister may extend the time for making an election or grant permission to amend or revoke an election if
the election was otherwise required to be made by a taxpayer or by a partnership, under a prescribed provision, on or before a day in a taxation year of the taxpayer (or in the case of a partnership, a fiscal period of the partnership); and
the taxpayer or the partnership applies, on or before the day that is ten calendar years after the end of the taxation year or the fiscal period, to the Minister for that extension or permission.
On application by a taxpayer, the Minister may extend the time for making an election, or grant permission to amend or revoke an election, under section 60.03 if
the application is made on or before the day that is three calendar years after the taxpayer’s filing-due date for the taxation year to which the election applies; and
the taxpayer is resident in Canada
if the taxpayer is deceased at the time of the application, at the time that is immediately before the taxpayer’s death, or
in any other case, at the time of the application.
For the purpose of subsection (3.2),
a designation in any form prescribed for the purpose of paragraph 80(2)(i) or any of subsections 80(5) to (11) or 80.03(7) is deemed to be an election under a prescribed provision of this Act; and
a designation or allocation under subsection 132.11(6) is deemed to be an election under a prescribed provision of this Act.
Where, under subsection 220(3.2), the Minister has extended the time for making an election or granted permission to amend or revoke an election,
the election or the amended election, as the case may be, shall be deemed to have been made on the day on or before which the election was otherwise required to be made and in the manner in which the election was otherwise required to be made, and, in the case of an amendment to an election, that election shall be deemed, otherwise than for the purposes of this section, never to have been made; and
the election that was revoked shall be deemed, otherwise than for the purposes of this section, never to have been made.
Notwithstanding subsections 152(4), 152(4.01), 152(4.1) and 152(5), such assessment of the tax, interest and penalties payable by each taxpayer in respect of any taxation year that began before the day an application is made under subsection 220(3.2) to the Minister shall be made as is necessary to take into account the election, the amended election or the revocation, as the case may be, referred to in subsection 220(3.3).
Where, on application by a taxpayer or a partnership, the Minister extends the time for making an election or grants permission to amend or revoke an election (other than an extension or permission under subsection (3.201)), the taxpayer or the partnership, as the case may be, is liable to a penalty equal to the lesser of
$8,000, and
the product obtained when $100 is multiplied by the number of complete months from the day on or before which the election was required to be made to the day the application was made in a form satisfactory to the Minister.
The Minister shall, with all due dispatch, examine each election, amended election and revoked election referred to in subsection 220(3.3), assess any penalty payable and send a notice of assessment to the taxpayer or the partnership, as the case may be, and the taxpayer or the partnership, as the case may be, shall pay forthwith to the Receiver General the amount, if any, by which the penalty so assessed exceeds the total of all amounts previously paid on account of that penalty.
The provisions of Divisions I and J of Part I apply, with such modifications as the circumstances require, to an assessment made under this section as though it had been made under section 152.
For the purposes of this Act and section 155.1 of the Financial Administration Act
any charge that becomes payable at any time by a person under the Financial Administration Act in respect of an instrument tendered in payment or settlement of an amount that is payable or remittable under this Act is deemed to be an amount that becomes payable or remittable by the person at that time under this Act;
sections 152, 158 and 159, subsections 161(1), (2) and (11), sections 162 to 167 and Division J of this Part are applicable to the amount deemed to become payable or remittable by this subsection with any modifications that the circumstances require;
Part II of the Interest and Administrative Charges Regulations does not apply to the charge; and
any debt under subsection 155.1(3) of the Financial Administration Act in respect of the charge is deemed to be extinguished at the time the total of the amount and any applicable interest under this Act is paid.
The Minister may, if the Minister considers it advisable in a particular case, accept security for payment of any amount that is or may become payable under this Act.
Where a taxpayer has objected to or appealed from an assessment under this Act, the Minister shall, while the objection or appeal is outstanding, accept adequate security furnished by or on behalf of the taxpayer for payment of the amount in controversy except to the extent that the Minister may collect the amount because of subsection 225.1(7).
Where at any time a taxpayer requests in writing that the Minister surrender any security accepted by the Minister under subsection 220(4) or 220(4.1), the Minister shall surrender the security to the extent that the value of the security exceeds the total of payable under this Act by the taxpayer at that time.
The Minister shall accept adequate security furnished by or on behalf of a taxpayer that is a member institution in relation to a deposit insurance corporation (within the meaning assigned by subsection 137.1(5)) for payment of
the tax payable under this Act by the taxpayer for a taxation year, to the extent that the amount of that tax exceeds the amount that that tax would be if no amount that the taxpayer is obliged to repay to the corporation were included under paragraph 137.1(10)(a) or 137.1(10)(b) in computing the taxpayer’s income for the year or a preceding taxation year, and
interest payable under this Act by the taxpayer on the amount determined under paragraph 220(4.3)(a),
the day on which the taxpayer’s obligation referred to in paragraph 220(4.3)(a) to repay the amount to the corporation is settled or extinguished, and
the day that is 10 years after the end of the year.
The adequacy of security furnished by or on behalf of a taxpayer under subsection 220(4.3) shall be determined by the Minister and the Minister may require additional security to be furnished from time to time by or on behalf of the taxpayer where the Minister determines that the security that has been furnished is no longer adequate.
If an individual who is deemed by subsection 128.1(4) to have disposed of a property (other than a right to a benefit under, or an interest in a trust governed by, an employee benefit plan) at any particular time in a taxation year (in this section referred to as the individual’s “emigration year”) elects, in prescribed manner on or before the individual’s balance-due day for the emigration year, that this subsection and subsections (4.51) to (4.54) apply in respect of the emigration year,
the Minister shall, until the individual’s balance-due day for a particular taxation year that begins after the particular time, accept adequate security furnished by or on behalf of the individual on or before the individual’s balance-due day for the emigration year for the lesser of
the amount determined by the formula A - B - [((A - B)/A) × C] where A is the total amount of taxes under Parts I and I.1 that would be payable by the individual for the emigration year if the exclusion or deduction of each amount referred to in paragraph 161(7)(a) were not taken into account, B is the total amount of taxes under those Parts that would have been so payable if each property (other than a right to a benefit under, or an interest in a trust governed by, an employee benefit plan) deemed by subsection 128.1(4) to have been disposed of at the particular time, and that has not been subsequently disposed of before the beginning of the particular year, were not deemed by subsection 128.1(4) to have been disposed of by the individual at the particular time, and C is the total of all amounts deemed under this or any other Act to have been paid on account of the individual’s tax under this Part for the emigration year, and
if the particular year immediately follows the emigration year, the amount determined under subparagraph (i), and in any other case, the amount determined under this paragraph in respect of the individual for the taxation year that immediately precedes the particular year, and
except for the purposes of subsections 161(2), (4) and (4.01),
interest under this Act for any period that ends on the individual’s balance-due day for the particular year and throughout which security is accepted by the Minister, and
any penalty under this Act computed with reference to an individual’s tax payable for the year that was, without reference to this paragraph, unpaid
If an individual (other than a trust) elects under subsection (4.5) that that subsection apply in respect of a taxation year, for the purposes of this subsection and subsections (4.5) and (4.52) to (4.54), the Minister is deemed to have accepted at any time after the election is made adequate security for a total amount of taxes payable under Parts I and I.1 by the individual for the emigration year equal to the lesser of
the total amount of those taxes that would be payable for the year by an inter vivos trust resident in Canada (other than a trust described in subsection 122(2)) the taxable income of which for the year is $50,000, and
the greatest amount for which the Minister is required to accept security furnished by or on behalf of the individual under subsection (4.5) at that time in respect of the emigration year,
Notwithstanding subsections (4.5) and (4.51), the Minister is deemed at any time not to have accepted security under subsection (4.5) in respect of an individual’s emigration year for any amount greater than the amount, if any, by which
the total amount of taxes that would be payable by the individual under Parts I and I.1 for the year if the exclusion or deduction of each amount referred to in paragraph 161(7)(a), in respect of which the day determined under paragraph 161(7)(b) is after that time, were not taken into account
the total amount of taxes that would be determined under paragraph (a) if this Act were read without reference to subsection 128.1(4).
Subject to subsection (4.7), if it is determined at any particular time that security accepted by the Minister under subsection (4.5) is not adequate to secure the particular amount for which it was furnished by or on behalf of an individual,
subject to a subsequent application of this subsection, the security shall be considered after the particular time to secure only the amount for which it is adequate security at the particular time;
the Minister shall notify the individual in writing of the determination and shall accept adequate security, for all or any part of the particular amount, furnished by or on behalf of the individual within 90 days after the day of notification; and
any security accepted in accordance with paragraph (b) is deemed to have been accepted by the Minister under subsection (4.5) on account of the particular amount at the particular time.
If in the opinion of the Minister it would be just and equitable to do so, the Minister may at any time extend
the time for making an election under subsection (4.5);
the time for furnishing and accepting security under subsection (4.5); or
the 90-day period for the acceptance of security under paragraph (4.53)(b).
Where
solely because of the application of subsection 107(5), paragraphs 107(2)(a) to (c) do not apply to a distribution by a trust in a particular taxation year (in this section referred to as the trust’s “distribution year”) of taxable Canadian property, and
the trust elects, in prescribed manner on or before the trust’s balance-due day for the distribution year, that this subsection and subsections (4.61) to (4.63) apply in respect of the distribution year,
the Minister shall, until the trust’s balance-due day for a subsequent taxation year, accept adequate security furnished by or on behalf of the trust on or before the trust’s balance-due day for the distribution year for the lesser of
the amount determined by the formula A - B - [((A - B)/A) × C] where A is the total amount of taxes under Parts I and I.1 that would be payable by the trust for the distribution year if the exclusion or deduction of each amount referred to in paragraph 161(7)(a) were not taken into account, B is the total amount of taxes under those Parts that would have been so payable if the rules in subsection 107(2) (other than the election referred to in that subsection) had applied to each disposition by the trust in the distribution year of property (other than property subsequently disposed of before the beginning of the subsequent year) to which paragraph (a) applies, and C is the total of all amounts deemed under this or any other Act to have been paid on account of the trust’s tax under this Part for the distribution year, and
where the subsequent year immediately follows the distribution year, the amount determined under subparagraph (i), and in any other case, the amount determined under this paragraph in respect of the trust for the taxation year that immediately precedes the subsequent year, and
except for the purposes of subsections 161(2), (4) and (4.01),
interest under this Act for any period that ends on the trust’s balance-due day for the subsequent year and throughout which security is accepted by the Minister, and
any penalty under this Act computed with reference to the trust’s tax payable for the year that was, without reference to this paragraph, unpaid
Notwithstanding subsection (4.6), the Minister is deemed at any time not to have accepted security under that subsection in respect of a trust’s distribution year for any amount greater than the amount, if any, by which
the total amount of taxes that would be payable by the trust under Parts I and I.1 for the year if the exclusion or deduction of each amount referred to in paragraph 161(7)(a), in respect of which the day determined under paragraph 161(7)(b) is after that time, were not taken into account
the total amount of taxes that would be determined under paragraph (a) if paragraphs 107(2)(a) to (c) had applied to each distribution by the trust in the year of property to which paragraph (1)(a) applies.
Subject to subsection (4.7), where it is determined at any particular time that security accepted by the Minister under subsection (4.6) is not adequate to secure the particular amount for which it was furnished by or on behalf of a trust,
subject to a subsequent application of this subsection, the security shall be considered after the particular time to secure only the amount for which it is adequate security at the particular time;
the Minister shall notify the trust in writing of the determination and shall accept adequate security, for all or any part of the particular amount, furnished by or on behalf of the trust within 90 days after the notification; and
any security accepted in accordance with paragraph (b) is deemed to have been accepted by the Minister under subsection (4.6) on account of the particular amount at the particular time.
Where in the opinion of the Minister it would be just and equitable to do so, the Minister may at any time extend
the time for making an election under subsection (4.6);
the time for furnishing and accepting security under subsection (4.6); or
the 90-day period for the acceptance of the security under paragraph (4.62)(b).
If, in respect of any period of time, the Minister determines that an individual who has made an election under either subsection (4.5) or (4.6)
cannot, without undue hardship, pay or reasonably arrange to have paid on the individual’s behalf, an amount of taxes to which security under that subsection would relate, and
cannot, without undue hardship, provide or reasonably arrange to have provided on the individual’s behalf, adequate security under that subsection,
In making a determination under subsection (4.7), the Minister shall ignore any transaction that is a disposition, lease, encumbrance, mortgage, hypothec, or other voluntary restriction by a person or partnership of the person’s or partnership’s rights in respect of a property, if the transaction can reasonably be considered to have been entered into for the purpose of influencing the determination.
Any officer or servant employed in connection with the administration or enforcement of this Act, if designated by the Minister for the purpose, may, in the course of that employment, administer oaths and take and receive affidavits, declarations and affirmations for the purposes of or incidental to the administration or enforcement of this Act or regulations made thereunder, and every officer or servant so designated has for those purposes all the powers of a commissioner for administering oaths or taking affidavits.
Notwithstanding section 67 of the Financial Administration Act and any other provision of a law of Canada or a province, a corporation may assign any amount payable to it under this Act.
An assignment referred to in subsection 220(6) is not binding on Her Majesty in right of Canada and, without limiting the generality of the foregoing,
the Minister is not required to pay to the assignee the assigned amount;
the assignment does not create any liability of Her Majesty in right of Canada to the assignee; and
the rights of the assignee are subject to all equitable and statutory rights of set-off in favour of Her Majesty in right of Canada.
The Governor in Council may make regulations
prescribing anything that, by this Act, is to be prescribed or is to be determined or regulated by regulation;
prescribing the evidence required to establish facts relevant to assessments under this Act;

[Repealed, 1998, c. 19, s. 222(2)]
providing for the retention by way of deduction or set-off of the amount of a taxpayer’s income tax or other indebtedness under this Act out of any amount or amounts that may be or become payable by Her Majesty to the taxpayer in respect of salary or wages;
defining the classes of persons who may be regarded as dependent for the purposes of this Act;
defining the classes of non-resident persons who may be regarded for the purposes of this Act
as a spouse or common-law partner supported by a taxpayer, or
as a person dependent or wholly dependent on a taxpayer for support,
generally to carry out the purposes and provisions of this Act.
A regulation made under this Act shall have effect from the date it is published in the Canada Gazette or at such time thereafter as may be specified in the regulation unless the regulation provides otherwise and it
has a relieving effect only;
corrects an ambiguous or deficient enactment that was not in accordance with the objects of this Act or the Income Tax Regulations;
is consequential on an amendment to this Act that is applicable before the date the regulation is published in the Canada Gazette; or
gives effect to a budgetary or other public announcement, in which case the regulation shall not, except where paragraph 221(2)(a), 221(2)(b) or 221(2)(c) applies, have effect
before the date on which the announcement was made, in the case of a deduction or withholding from an amount paid or credited, and
before the taxation year in which the announcement is made, in any other case.
Regulations made under paragraph 221(1)(d) or 221(1)(e) are binding on Her Majesty in right of Canada or a province.
A regulation made under this Act may incorporate by reference material as amended from time to time.
For greater certainty, where an amendment to this Act or an amendment or enactment that relates to this Act applies to or in respect of any transaction, event or time, or any taxation year, fiscal period or other period of time or part thereof (in this section referred to as the “application time”) occurring, or that is, before the day on which the amendment or enactment is assented to or promulgated, for the purposes of the provisions of this Act that provide for payment of, or liability to, any interest, the amendment or enactment shall, unless a contrary intention is evident, be deemed to have come into force at the beginning of the last taxation year beginning before the application time.
Where a particular amount was appropriated to an amount (in this section referred to as the “debt”) that is or may become payable by a person under any enactment referred to in paragraphs 223(1)(a) to 223(1)(d), the Minister may, on application by the person, appropriate the particular amount, or a part thereof, to another amount that is or may become payable under any such enactment and, for the purposes of any such enactment,
the later appropriation shall be deemed to have been made at the time of the earlier appropriation;
the earlier appropriation shall be deemed not to have been made to the extent of the later appropriation; and
the particular amount shall be deemed not to have been paid on account of the debt to the extent of the later appropriation.
Where a particular amount was appropriated to an amount (in this section referred to as the “debt”) that is or may become payable by a person under this Act, the Excise Tax Act, the Air Travellers Security Charge Act or the Excise Act, 2001, the Minister may, on application by the person, appropriate the particular amount, or a part of it, to another amount that is or may become payable under any of those Acts and, for the purposes of any of those Acts,
the later appropriation is deemed to have been made at the time of the earlier appropriation;
the earlier appropriation is deemed not to have been made to the extent of the later appropriation; and
the particular amount is deemed not to have been paid on account of the debt to the extent of the later appropriation.
The following definitions apply in this section.
action means an action to collect a tax debt of a taxpayer and includes a proceeding in a court and anything done by the Minister under subsection 129(2), 131(3), 132(2) or 164(2), section 203 or any provision of this Part. (action)
tax debt means any amount payable by a taxpayer under this Act. (dette fiscale)
A tax debt is a debt due to Her Majesty and is recoverable as such in the Federal Court or any other court of competent jurisdiction or in any other manner provided by this Act.
The Minister may not commence an action to collect a tax debt after the end of the limitation period for the collection of the tax debt.
The limitation period for the collection of a tax debt of a taxpayer
begins
if a notice of assessment, or a notice referred to in subsection 226(1), in respect of the tax debt is sent to or served on the taxpayer, after March 3, 2004, on the day that is 90 days after the day on which the last one of those notices is sent or served, and
if subparagraph (i) does not apply and the tax debt was payable on March 4, 2004, or would have been payable on that date but for a limitation period that otherwise applied to the collection of the tax debt, on March 4, 2004; and
ends, subject to subsection (8), on the day that is 10 years after the day on which it begins.
The limitation period described in subsection (4) for the collection of a tax debt of a taxpayer restarts (and ends, subject to subsection (8), on the day that is 10 years after the day on which it restarts) on any day, before it would otherwise end, on which
the taxpayer acknowledges the tax debt in accordance with subsection (6);
the Minister commences an action to collect the tax debt; or
the Minister, under subsection 159(3) or 160(2) or paragraph 227(10)(a), assesses any person in respect of the tax debt.
A taxpayer acknowledges a tax debt if the taxpayer
promises, in writing, to pay the tax debt;
makes a written acknowledgement of the tax debt, whether or not a promise to pay can be inferred from the acknowledgement and whether or not it contains a refusal to pay; or
makes a payment, including a purported payment by way of a negotiable instrument that is dishonoured, on account of the tax debt.
For the purposes of this section, an acknowledgement made by a taxpayer’s agent or legal representative has the same effect as if it were made by the taxpayer.
In computing the day on which a limitation period ends, there shall be added the number of days on which one or more of the following is the case:
the Minister may not, because of any of subsections 225.1(2) to (5), take any of the actions described in subsection 225.1(1) in respect of the tax debt;
the Minister has accepted and holds security in lieu of payment of the tax debt;
if the taxpayer was resident in Canada on the applicable date described in paragraph (4)(a) in respect of the tax debt, the taxpayer is non-resident; or
an action that the Minister may otherwise take in respect of the tax debt is restricted or not permitted under any provision of the Bankruptcy and Insolvency Act, of the Companies’ Creditors Arrangement Act or of the Farm Debt Mediation Act.
Notwithstanding any law of Canada or a province, Her Majesty is not liable for any claim that arises because the Minister collected a tax debt after the end of any limitation period that applied to the collection of the tax debt and before March 4, 2004.
Notwithstanding any order or judgment made after March 3, 2004 that declares a tax debt not to be payable by a taxpayer, or that orders the Minister to reimburse to a taxpayer a tax debt collected by the Minister, because a limitation period that applied to the collection of the tax debt ended before royal assent to any measure giving effect to this section, the tax debt is deemed to have become payable on March 4, 2004.
Where an amount is payable by a person to Her Majesty because of an order, judgment or award of a court in respect of the costs of litigation relating to a matter to which this Act applies, subsections 220(4) and 220(4.2) and sections 223, 224 to 225 and 226 apply to the amount as if the amount were a debt owing by the person to Her Majesty on account of tax payable by the person under this Act.
For the purposes of subsection 223(2), an amount payable by a person means any or all of
an amount payable under this Act by the person;
an amount payable under the Employment Insurance Act by the person;
an amount payable under the Unemployment Insurance Act by the person;
an amount payable under the Canada Pension Plan by the person; and
an amount payable by the person under an Act of a province with which the Minister of Finance has entered into an agreement for the collection of taxes payable to the province under that Act.
An amount payable by a person (in this section referred to as a “debtor”) that has not been paid or any part of an amount payable by the debtor that has not been paid may be certified by the Minister as an amount payable by the debtor.
On production to the Federal Court, a certificate made under subsection 223(2) in respect of a debtor shall be registered in the Court and when so registered has the same effect, and all proceedings may be taken thereon, as if the certificate were a judgment obtained in the Court against the debtor for a debt in the amount certified plus interest thereon to the day of payment as provided by the statute or statutes referred to in subsection 223(1) under which the amount is payable and, for the purpose of any such proceedings, the certificate shall be deemed to be a judgment of the Court against the debtor for a debt due to Her Majesty, enforceable in the amount certified plus interest thereon to the day of payment as provided by that statute or statutes.
All reasonable costs and charges incurred or paid in respect of the registration in the Court of a certificate made under subsection 223(2) or in respect of any proceedings taken to collect the amount certified are recoverable in like manner as if they had been included in the amount certified in the certificate when it was registered.
A document issued by the Federal Court evidencing a certificate in respect of a debtor registered under subsection (3), a writ of that Court issued pursuant to the certificate or any notification of the document or writ (such document, writ or notification in this section referred to as a “memorial”) may be filed, registered or otherwise recorded for the purpose of creating a charge, lien or priority on, or a binding interest in, property in a province, or any interest in, or for civil law any right in, such property, held by the debtor in the same manner as a document evidencing
a judgment of the superior court of the province against a person for a debt owing by the person, or
an amount payable or required to be remitted by a person in the province in respect of a debt owing to Her Majesty in right of the province
may be filed, registered or otherwise recorded in accordance with or pursuant to the law of the province to create a charge, lien or priority on, or a binding interest in, the property or interest.
If a memorial has been filed, registered or otherwise recorded under subsection (5),
a charge, lien or priority is created on, or a binding interest is created in, property in the province, or any interest in, or for civil law any right in, such property, held by the debtor, or
such property, or interest or right in the property, is otherwise bound,
in the same manner and to the same extent as if the memorial were a document evidencing a judgment referred to in paragraph (5)(a) or an amount referred to in paragraph (5)(b), and the charge, lien, priority or binding interest created shall be subordinate to any charge, lien, priority or binding interest in respect of which all steps necessary to make it effective against other creditors were taken before the time the memorial was filed, registered or otherwise recorded.
If a memorial is filed, registered or otherwise recorded in a province under subsection 223(5), proceedings may be taken in the province in respect of the memorial, including proceedings
to enforce payment of the amount evidenced by the memorial, interest on the amount and all costs and charges paid or incurred in respect of
the filing, registration or other recording of the memorial, and
proceedings taken to collect the amount,
to renew or otherwise prolong the effectiveness of the filing, registration or other recording of the memorial,
to cancel or withdraw the memorial wholly or in respect of any of the property, or interests or rights, affected by the memorial, or
to postpone the effectiveness of the filing, registration or other recording of the memorial in favour of any right, charge, lien or priority that has been or is intended to be filed, registered or otherwise recorded in respect of any property, or interest or right, affected by the memorial,
in the same manner and to the same extent as if the memorial were a document evidencing a judgment referred to in paragraph 223(5)(a) or an amount referred to in paragraph 223(5)(b), except that if in any such proceeding or as a condition precedent to any such proceeding any order, consent or ruling is required under the law of the province to be made or given by the superior court of the province or a judge or official of the court, a like order, consent or ruling may be made or given by the Federal Court or a judge or official of the Federal Court and, when so made or given, has the same effect for the purposes of the proceeding as if it were made or given by the superior court of the province or a judge or official of the court.
If
a memorial is presented for filing, registration or other recording under subsection (5) or a document relating to the memorial is presented for filing, registration or other recording for the purpose of any proceeding described in subsection (7) to any official in the land registry system, personal property or movable property registry system, or other registry system, of a province, it shall be accepted for filing, registration or other recording, or
access is sought to any person, place or thing in a province to make the filing, registration or other recording, the access shall be granted
in the same manner and to the same extent as if the memorial or document relating to the memorial were a document evidencing a judgment referred to in paragraph 223(5)(a) or an amount referred to in paragraph 223(5)(b) for the purpose of a like proceeding, as the case may be, except that, if the memorial or document is issued by the Federal Court or signed or certified by a judge or official of the Court, any affidavit, declaration or other evidence required under the law of the province to be provided with or to accompany the memorial or document in the proceedings is deemed to have been provided with or to have accompanied the memorial or document as so required.
Notwithstanding any law of Canada or of a province, a sheriff or other person shall not, without the written consent of the Minister, sell or otherwise dispose of any property, or publish any notice or otherwise advertise in respect of any sale or other disposition of any property pursuant to any process issued or charge, lien, priority or binding interest created in any proceeding to collect an amount certified in a certificate made under subsection 223(2), interest on the amount and costs, but if that consent is subsequently given, any property that would have been affected by such a process, charge, lien, priority or binding interest if the Minister’s consent had been given at the time the process was issued or the charge, lien, priority or binding interest was created, as the case may be, shall be bound, seized, attached, charged or otherwise affected as it would be if that consent had been given at the time the process was issued or the charge, lien, priority or binding interest was created, as the case may be.
If information required to be set out by any sheriff or other person in a minute, notice or document required to be completed for any purpose cannot, by reason of subsection 223(9), be so set out, the sheriff or other person shall complete the minute, notice or document to the extent possible without that information and, when the consent of the Minister is given under that subsection, a further minute, notice or document setting out all the information shall be completed for the same purpose, and the sheriff or other person having complied with this subsection is deemed to have complied with the Act, regulation or rule requiring the information to be set out in the minute, notice or document.
A sheriff or other person who is unable, by reason of subsection 223(9) or 223(10), to comply with any law or rule of court is bound by any order made by a judge of the Federal Court, on an ex parte application by the Minister, for the purpose of giving effect to the proceeding, charge, lien, priority or binding interest.
When a charge, lien, priority or binding interest created under subsection 223(6) by filing, registering or otherwise recording a memorial under subsection 223(5) is registered in accordance with subsection 87(1) of the Bankruptcy and Insolvency Act, it is deemed
to be a claim that is secured by a security and that, subject to subsection 87(2) of that Act, ranks as a secured claim under that Act; and
to also be a claim referred to in paragraph 86(2)(a) of that Act.
Notwithstanding any law of Canada or of a province, in any certificate made under subsection 223(2) in respect of a debtor, in any memorial evidencing the certificate or in any writ or document issued for the purpose of collecting an amount certified, it is sufficient for all purposes
to set out, as the amount payable by the debtor, the total of amounts payable by the debtor without setting out the separate making up that total; and
to refer to the rate of interest to be charged on the separate amounts making up the amount payable in general terms as interest at the rate prescribed under this Act applicable from time to time on amounts payable to the Receiver General without indicating the specific rates of interest to be charged on each of the separate amounts or to be charged for any particular period of time.
Subsections 223(1) to 223(8) and 223(12) are applicable with respect to certificates made under section 223 or section 223 of the Income Tax Act, chapter 148 of the Revised Statutes of Canada, 1952, after 1971 and documents evidencing such certificates that were issued by the Federal Court and that were filed, registered or otherwise recorded after 1977 under the laws of a province, except that, where any such certificate or document was the subject of an action pending in a court on February 10, 1988 or the subject of a court decision given on or before that date, section 223 shall be read, for the purposes of applying it with respect to that certificate or document, as section 223 of the Income Tax Act, chapter 148 of the Revised Statutes of Canada, 1952, read at the time the certificate was registered or the document was issued, as the case may be.
Subsections 223(9) to 223(11) are applicable with respect to certificates made under section 223, or section 223 of the Income Tax Act, chapter 148 of the Revised Statutes of Canada, 1952, after September 13, 1988.
Where the Minister has knowledge or suspects that a person is, or will be within one year, liable to make a payment to another person who is liable to make a payment under this Act (in this subsection and subsections 224(1.1) and 224(3) referred to as the “tax debtor”), the Minister may in writing require the person to pay forthwith, where the moneys are immediately payable, and in any other case as and when the moneys become payable, the moneys otherwise payable to the tax debtor in whole or in part to the Receiver General on account of the tax debtor’s liability under this Act.
Without limiting the generality of subsection 224(1), where the Minister has knowledge or suspects that within 90 days
a bank, credit union, trust company or other similar person (in this section referred to as the “institution”) will lend or advance moneys to, or make a payment on behalf of, or make a payment in respect of a negotiable instrument issued by, a tax debtor who is indebted to the institution and who has granted security in respect of the indebtedness, or
a person, other than an institution, will lend or advance moneys to, or make a payment on behalf of, a tax debtor who the Minister knows or suspects
is employed by, or is engaged in providing services or property to, that person or was or will be, within 90 days, so employed or engaged, or
where that person is a corporation, is not dealing at arm’s length with that person,
the Minister may in writing require the institution or person, as the case may be, to pay in whole or in part to the Receiver General on account of the tax debtor’s liability under this Act the moneys that would otherwise be so lent, advanced or paid and any moneys so paid to the Receiver General shall be deemed to have been lent, advanced or paid, as the case may be, to the tax debtor.
Notwithstanding any other provision of this Act, the Bankruptcy and Insolvency Act, any other enactment of Canada, any enactment of a province or any law, but subject to subsections 69(1) and 69.1(1) of the Bankruptcy and Insolvency Act and section 11.09 of the Companies’ Creditors Arrangement Act, if the Minister has knowledge or suspects that a particular person is, or will become within one year, liable to make a payment
to another person (in this subsection referred to as the “tax debtor”) who is liable to pay an amount assessed under subsection 227(10.1) or a similar provision, or
to a secured creditor who has a right to receive the payment that, but for a security interest in favour of the secured creditor, would be payable to the tax debtor,
the Minister may in writing require the particular person to pay forthwith, where the moneys are immediately payable, and in any other case as and when the moneys become payable, the moneys otherwise payable to the tax debtor or the secured creditor in whole or in part to the Receiver General on account of the tax debtor’s liability under subsection 227(10.1) or the similar provision, and on receipt of that requirement by the particular person, the amount of those moneys that is so required to be paid to the Receiver General shall, notwithstanding any security interest in those moneys, become the property of Her Majesty to the extent of that liability as assessed by the Minister and shall be paid to the Receiver General in priority to any such security interest.
In subsection 224(1.2),
secured creditor means a person who has a security interest in the property of another person or who acts for or on behalf of that person with respect to the security interest and includes a trustee appointed under a trust deed relating to a security interest, a receiver or receiver-manager appointed by a secured creditor or by a court on the application of a secured creditor, a sequestrator or any other person performing a similar function; (créancier garanti)
security interest means any interest in, or for civil law any right in, property that secures payment or performance of an obligation and includes an interest, or for civil law a right, created by or arising out of a debenture, mortgage, hypothec, lien, pledge, charge, deemed or actual trust, assignment or encumbrance of any kind whatever, however or whenever arising, created, deemed to arise or otherwise provided for; (garantie)
similar provision means a provision, similar to subsection 227(10.1), of any Act of a province that imposes a tax similar to the tax imposed under this Act, where the province has entered into an agreement with the Minister of Finance for the collection of the taxes payable to the province under that Act. (disposition semblable)
Provisions of this Act that provide that a person who has been required to do so by the Minister must pay to the Receiver General an amount that would otherwise be lent, advanced or paid to a taxpayer who is liable to make a payment under this Act, or to that taxpayer’s secured creditor, apply to Her Majesty in right of Canada or a province.
The receipt of the Minister for moneys paid as required under this section is a good and sufficient discharge of the original liability to the extent of the payment.
Where the Minister has, under this section, required a person to pay to the Receiver General on account of a liability under this Act of a tax debtor moneys otherwise payable by the person to the tax debtor as interest, rent, remuneration, a dividend, an annuity or other periodic payment, the requirement applies to all such payments to be made by the person to the tax debtor until the liability under this Act is satisfied and operates to require payments to the Receiver General out of each such payment of such amount as is stipulated by the Minister in the requirement.
Every person who fails to comply with a requirement under subsection 224(1), 224(1.2) or 224(3) is liable to pay to Her Majesty an amount equal to the amount that the person was required under subsection 224(1), 224(1.2) or 224(3), as the case may be, to pay to the Receiver General.
Every institution or person that fails to comply with a requirement under subsection 224(1.1) with respect to moneys to be lent, advanced or paid is liable to pay to Her Majesty an amount equal to the lesser of
the total of moneys so lent, advanced or paid, and
the amount that the institution or person was required under that subsection to pay to the Receiver General.
Where a person carries on business under a name or style other than the person’s own name, notification to the person of a requirement under subsection 224(1), 224(1.1) or 224(1.2) may be addressed to the name or style under which the person carries on business and, in the case of personal service, shall be deemed to be validly served if it is left with an adult person employed at the place of business of the addressee.
Where persons carry on business in partnership, notification to the persons of a requirement under subsection 224(1), 224(1.1) or 224(1.2) may be addressed to the partnership name and, in the case of personal service, shall be deemed to be validly served if it is served on one of the partners or left with an adult person employed at the place of business of the partnership.
Where a person is indebted to Her Majesty under this Act or under an Act of a province with which the Minister of Finance has entered into an agreement for the collection of the taxes payable to the province under that Act, the Minister may require the retention by way of deduction or set-off of such amount as the Minister may specify out of any amount that may be or become payable to the person by Her Majesty in right of Canada.
For the purpose of collecting debts owed by a person to Her Majesty under this Act or under an Act of a province with which the Minister of Finance has entered into an agreement for the collection of taxes payable to the province under that Act, the Minister may purchase or otherwise acquire any interest in, or for civil law any right in, the person’s property that the Minister is given a right to acquire in legal proceedings or under a court order or that is offered for sale or redemption and may dispose of any interest or right so acquired in such manner as the Minister considers reasonable.
Where the Minister has knowledge or suspects that a particular person is holding moneys that were seized by a police officer in the course of administering or enforcing the criminal law of Canada from another person (in this section referred to as the “tax debtor”) who is liable to make a payment under this Act or under an Act of a province with which the Minister of Finance has entered into an agreement for the collection of taxes payable to the province under that Act and that are restorable to the tax debtor, the Minister may in writing require the particular person to turn over the moneys otherwise restorable to the tax debtor in whole or in part to the Receiver General on account of the tax debtor’s liability under this Act or under the Act of the province, as the case may be.
The receipt of the Minister for moneys turned over as required by this section is a good and sufficient discharge of the requirement to restore the moneys to the tax debtor to the extent of the amount so turned over.
If a person has failed to pay an amount as required by this Act, the Minister may give 30 days notice to the person by registered mail addressed to the person’s latest known address of the Minister’s intention to direct that the person’s goods and chattels, or movable property, be seized and sold, and, if the person fails to make the payment before the expiration of the 30 days, the Minister may issue a certificate of the failure and direct that the person’s goods and chattels, or movable property, be seized.
Property seized under this section shall be kept for 10 days at the cost and charges of the owner and, if the owner does not pay the amount owing together with the costs and charges within the 10 days, the property seized shall be sold by public auction.
Except in the case of perishable goods, notice of the sale setting out the time and place thereof, together with a general description of the property to be sold shall, a reasonable time before the goods are sold, be published at least once in one or more newspapers of general local circulation.
Any surplus resulting from the sale after deduction of the amount owing and all costs and charges shall be paid or returned to the owner of the property seized.
Goods and chattels, or movable property, of any person in default that would be exempt from seizure under a writ of execution issued out of a superior court of the province in which the seizure is made are exempt from seizure under this section.
If a taxpayer is liable for the payment of an amount assessed under this Act, other than an amount assessed under subsection 152(4.2), 169(3) or 220(3.1), the Minister shall not, until after the collection-commencement day in respect of the amount, do any of the following for the purpose of collecting the amount:
commence legal proceedings in a court,
certify the amount under section 223,
require a person to make a payment under subsection 224(1),
require an institution or a person to make a payment under subsection 224(1.1),
[Repealed, 2006, c. 4, s. 166]
require a person to turn over moneys under subsection 224.3(1), or
give a notice, issue a certificate or make a direction under subsection 225(1).
The collection-commencement day in respect of an amount is
in the case of an amount assessed under subsection 188(1.1) in respect of a notice of intention to revoke given under subsection 168(1) or any of subsections 149.1(2) to (4.1), one year after the day on which the notice was mailed;
in the case of an amount assessed under section 188.1, one year after the day on which the notice of assessment was sent; and
in any other case, 90 days after the day on which the notice of assessment was sent.
If a taxpayer has served a notice of objection under this Act to an assessment of an amount payable under this Act, the Minister shall not, for the purpose of collecting the amount in controversy, take any of the actions described in paragraphs (1)(a) to (g) until after the day that is 90 days after the day on which notice is sent to the taxpayer that the Minister has confirmed or varied the assessment.
Where a taxpayer has appealed from an assessment of an amount payable under this Act to the Tax Court of Canada, the Minister shall not, for the purpose of collecting the amount in controversy, take any of the actions described in paragraphs (1)(a) to (g) before the day of mailing of a copy of the decision of the Court to the taxpayer or the day on which the taxpayer discontinues the appeal, whichever is the earlier.
Where a taxpayer has agreed under subsection 173(1) that a question should be determined by the Tax Court of Canada, or where a taxpayer is served with a copy of an application made under subsection 174(1) to that Court for the determination of a question, the Minister shall not take any of the actions described in paragraphs (1)(a) to (g) for the purpose of collecting that part of an amount assessed, the liability for payment of which will be affected by the determination of the question, before the day on which the question is determined by the Court.
Notwithstanding any other provision in this section, where a taxpayer has served a notice of objection under this Act to an assessment or has appealed to the Tax Court of Canada from an assessment and agrees in writing with the Minister to delay proceedings on the objection or appeal, as the case may be, until judgment has been given in another action before the Tax Court of Canada, the Federal Court of Appeal or the Supreme Court of Canada in which the issue is the same or substantially the same as that raised in the objection or appeal of the taxpayer, the Minister may take any of the actions described in paragraphs (1)(a) to (g) for the purpose of collecting the amount assessed, or a part thereof, determined in a manner consistent with the decision or judgment of the Court in the other action at any time after the Minister notifies the taxpayer in writing that
the decision of the Tax Court of Canada in that action has been mailed to the Minister,
judgment has been pronounced by the Federal Court of Appeal in that action, or
judgment has been delivered by the Supreme Court of Canada in that action,
Subsections (1) to (4) do not apply with respect to
an amount payable under Part VIII;
an amount required to be deducted or withheld, and required to be remitted or paid, under this Act or the Regulations;
an amount of tax required to be paid under section 116 or a regulation made under subsection 215(4) but not so paid;
the amount of any penalty payable for failure to remit or pay an amount referred to in paragraph (b) or (c) as and when required by this Act or a regulation made under this Act; and
any interest payable under a provision of this Act on an amount referred to in this paragraph or any of paragraphs (a) to (d).
If an amount has been assessed under this Act in respect of a corporation for a taxation year in which it was a large corporation, or in respect of a particular amount claimed under section 110.1 or 118.1 where the particular amount was claimed in respect of a tax shelter, then subsections (1) to (4) do not limit any action of the Minister to collect
at any time on or before the particular day that is 90 days after the day of the sending of the notice of assessment, 1/2 of the amount so assessed; and
at any time after the particular day, the amount, if any, by which the amount so assessed exceeds the total of
all amounts collected before that time with respect to the assessment, and
1/2 of the amount in controversy at that time.
For the purposes of this section and section 235, a corporation (other than a corporation described in subsection 181.1(3)) is a large corporation in a particular taxation year if the total of the taxable capital employed in Canada of the corporation, at the end of the particular taxation year, and the taxable capital employed in Canada of any other corporation, at the end of the other corporation’s last taxation year that ends at or before the end of the particular taxation year, if the other corporation is related (within the meaning assigned for the purposes of section 181.5) to the corporation at the end of the particular taxation year, exceeds $10 million, and, for the purpose of this subsection, a corporation formed as a result of the amalgamation or merger of 2 or more predecessor corporations is deemed to be the same corporation as, and a continuation of, each predecessor corporation.
In this section, judge means a judge or a local judge of a superior court of a province or a judge of the Federal Court.
Notwithstanding section 225.1, where, on ex parte application by the Minister, a judge is satisfied that there are reasonable grounds to believe that the collection of all or any part of an amount assessed in respect of a taxpayer would be jeopardized by a delay in the collection of that amount, the judge shall, on such terms as the judge considers reasonable in the circumstances, authorize the Minister to take forthwith any of the actions described in paragraphs 225.1(1)(a) to 225.1(1)(g) with respect to the amount.
An authorization under subsection 225.2(2) in respect of an amount assessed in respect of a taxpayer may be granted by a judge notwithstanding that a notice of assessment in respect of that amount has not been sent to the taxpayer at or before the time the application is made where the judge is satisfied that the receipt of the notice of assessment by the taxpayer would likely further jeopardize the collection of the amount, and for the purposes of sections 222, 223, 224, 224.1, 224.3 and 225, the amount in respect of which an authorization is so granted shall be deemed to be an amount payable under this Act.
Statements contained in an affidavit filed in the context of an application under this section may be based on belief with the grounds therefor.
An authorization granted under this section in respect of a taxpayer shall be served by the Minister on the taxpayer within 72 hours after it is granted, except where the judge orders the authorization to be served at some other time specified in the authorization, and, where a notice of assessment has not been sent to the taxpayer at or before the time of the application, the notice of assessment shall be served together with the authorization.
For the purposes of subsection 225.2(5), service on a taxpayer shall be effected by
personal service on the taxpayer; or
service in accordance with directions, if any, of a judge.
Where service on a taxpayer cannot reasonably otherwise be effected as and when required under this section, the Minister may, as soon as practicable, apply to a judge for further direction.
Where a judge of a court has granted an authorization under this section in respect of a taxpayer, the taxpayer may, on 6 clear days notice to the Deputy Attorney General of Canada, apply to a judge of the court to review the authorization.
An application under subsection 225.2(8) shall be made
within 30 days from the day on which the authorization was served on the taxpayer in accordance with this section; or
within such further time as a judge may allow, on being satisfied that the application was made as soon as practicable.
An application under subsection 225.2(8) may, on the application of the taxpayer, be heard in camera, if the taxpayer establishes to the satisfaction of the judge that the circumstances of the case justify in camera proceedings.
On an application under subsection 225.2(8), the judge shall determine the question summarily and may confirm, set aside or vary the authorization and make such other order as the judge considers appropriate.
Where any question arises as to the course to be followed in connection with anything done or being done under this section and there is no direction in this section with respect thereto, a judge may give such direction with regard thereto as, in the opinion of the judge, is appropriate.
No appeal lies from an order of a judge made pursuant to subsection 225.2(11).
Where the Minister suspects that a taxpayer has left or is about to leave Canada, the Minister may, before the day otherwise fixed for payment, by notice served personally or by registered letter addressed to the taxpayer’s latest known address, demand payment of the amount of all taxes, interest and penalties for which the taxpayer is liable or would be liable if the time for payment had arrived, and that amount shall be paid forthwith by the taxpayer notwithstanding any other provision of this Act.
If a taxpayer fails to pay, as required, any tax, interest or penalties demanded under this section, the Minister may direct that the goods and chattels, or movable property, of the taxpayer be seized and subsections 225(2) to (5) apply, with respect to the seizure, with any modifications that the circumstances require.
No action lies against any person for deducting or withholding any sum of money in compliance or intended compliance with this Act.
Where a person (in this subsection referred to as the “payer”) is required by regulations made under subsection 153(1) to deduct or withhold from a payment to another person an amount on account of that other person’s tax for the year, that other person shall, from time to time as prescribed, file a return with the payer in prescribed form.
Every person who fails to file a return as required by subsection (2) is liable to have the deduction or withholding under section 153 on account of the person’s tax made as though the person were a person who is neither married nor in a common-law partnership and is without dependants.
Every person who deducts or withholds an amount under this Act is deemed, notwithstanding any security interest (as defined in subsection 224(1.3)) in the amount so deducted or withheld, to hold the amount separate and apart from the property of the person and from property held by any secured creditor (as defined in subsection 224(1.3)) of that person that but for the security interest would be property of the person, in trust for Her Majesty and for payment to Her Majesty in the manner and at the time provided under this Act.
Notwithstanding any other provision of this Act, the Bankruptcy and Insolvency Act (except sections 81.1 and 81.2 of that Act), any other enactment of Canada, any enactment of a province or any other law, where at any time an amount deemed by subsection 227(4) to be held by a person in trust for Her Majesty is not paid to Her Majesty in the manner and at the time provided under this Act, property of the person and property held by any secured creditor (as defined in subsection 224(1.3)) of that person that but for a security interest (as defined in subsection 224(1.3)) would be property of the person, equal in value to the amount so deemed to be held in trust is deemed
to be held, from the time the amount was deducted or withheld by the person, separate and apart from the property of the person, in trust for Her Majesty whether or not the property is subject to such a security interest, and
to form no part of the estate or property of the person from the time the amount was so deducted or withheld, whether or not the property has in fact been kept separate and apart from the estate or property of the person and whether or not the property is subject to such a security interest
For the purposes of subsections 227(4) and 227(4.1), a security interest does not include a prescribed security interest.
For greater certainty, subsections (4) to (4.2) apply to Her Majesty in right of Canada or a province where Her Majesty in right of Canada or a province is a secured creditor (within the meaning assigned by subsection 224(1.3)) or holds a security interest (within the meaning assigned by that subsection).
Where a specified person in relation to a particular person (in this subsection referred to as the “payer”) has any direct or indirect influence over the disbursements, property, business or estate of the payer and the specified person, alone or together with another person, authorizes or otherwise causes a payment referred to in subsection 135(3), 135.1(7) or 153(1), or on or in respect of which tax is payable under Part XII.5 or XIII, to be made by or on behalf of the payer, the specified person
is, for the purposes of subsections 135(3) and 153(1), section 215 and this section, deemed to be a person who made the payment;
is, for the purposes of subsections 135.1(7) and 211.8(2), deemed to be a person who redeemed, acquired or cancelled a share and made the payment as a consequence of the redemption, acquisition or cancellation;
is jointly and severally, or solidarily, liable with the payer to pay to the Receiver General
all amounts payable by the payer because of any of subsections 135(3), 135.1(7), 153(1) and 211.8(2) and section 215 in respect of the payment, and
all amounts payable under this Act by the payer because of any failure to comply with any of those provisions in respect of the payment; and
is entitled to deduct or withhold from any amount paid or credited by the specified person to the payer or otherwise recover from the payer any amount paid under this subsection by the specified person in respect of the payment.
In subsection 227(5), a specified person in relation to a particular person means a person who is, in relation to the particular person or the disbursements, property, business or estate of the particular person,
a trustee;
a liquidator;
a receiver;
an interim receiver;
a receiver-manager;
a trustee in bankruptcy or other person appointed under the Bankruptcy and Insolvency Act;
an assignee;
a secured creditor (as defined in subsection 224(1.3));

any person acting in a capacity similar to that of a person referred to in any of paragraphs 227(5.1)(a) to 227(5.1)(i);
a person appointed (otherwise than as an employee of the creditor) at the request of, or on the advice of, a secured creditor in relation to the particular person to monitor, or provide advice in respect of, the disbursements, property, business or estate of the particular person under circumstances such that it is reasonable to conclude that the person is appointed to protect or advance the interests of the creditor; or
an agent of a specified person referred to in any of paragraphs 227(5.1)(a) to 227(5.1)(k).
For the purposes of this section, references in subsections 227(5) and 227(5.1) to persons include partnerships.
Where a person on whose behalf an amount has been paid under Part XII.5 or XIII to the Receiver General was not liable to pay tax under that Part or where the amount so paid is in excess of the amount that the person was liable to pay, the Minister shall, on written application made no later than 2 years after the end of the calendar year in which the amount was paid, pay to the person the amount so paid or such part of it as the person was not liable to pay, unless the person is or is about to become liable to make a payment to Her Majesty in right of Canada, in which case the Minister may apply the amount otherwise payable under this subsection to that liability and notify the person of that action.
Where, in respect of a loan from or indebtedness to a corporation or partnership, a person on whose behalf an amount was paid to the Receiver General under Part XIII because of subsection 15(2) and paragraph 214(3)(a) repays the loan or indebtedness or a portion of it and it is established by subsequent events or otherwise that the repayment was not made as part of a series of loans or other transactions and repayments, the Minister shall, on written application made no later than 2 years after the end of the calendar year in which the repayment is made, pay to the person an amount equal to the lesser of
the amount so paid to the Receiver General in respect of the loan or indebtedness or portion of it, as the case may be, and
the amount that would be payable to the Receiver General under Part XIII if a dividend described in paragraph 212(2)(a) equal in amount to the amount of the loan or indebtedness repaid were paid by the corporation or partnership to the person at the time of the repayment,
Where, on application under subsection 227(6) by or on behalf of a person to the Minister in respect of an amount paid under Part XII.5 or XIII to the Receiver General, the Minister is not satisfied
that the person was not liable to pay any tax under that Part, or
that the amount paid was in excess of the tax that the person was liable to pay,
Where, on application under subsection 227(6.1) by or on behalf of a person to the Minister in respect of an amount paid under Part XIII to the Receiver General, the Minister is not satisfied that the person is entitled to the amount claimed, the Minister shall, at the person’s request, determine, with all due dispatch, the amount, if any, payable under subsection 227(6.1) to the person and shall send a notice of determination to the person, and sections 150 to 163, subsections 164(1) and 164(1.4) to 164(7), sections 164.1 to 167 and Division J of Part I apply with such modifications as the circumstances require.
Subject to subsection (9.5), every person who in a calendar year has failed to deduct or withhold any amount as required by subsection 153(1) or section 215 is liable to a penalty of
10% of the amount that should have been deducted or withheld; or
where at the time of the failure a penalty under this subsection was payable by the person in respect of an amount that should have been deducted or withheld during the year and the failure was made knowingly or under circumstances amounting to gross negligence, 20% of that amount.
If a particular person has failed to deduct or withhold an amount as required under subsection 153(1) or section 215 in respect of an amount that has been paid to a non-resident person, the non-resident person is jointly and severally, or solidarily, liable with the particular person to pay any interest payable by the particular person pursuant to subsection (8.3) in respect thereof.
Where a person has failed to deduct or withhold any amount as required under subsection 153(1) in respect of a contribution under a retirement compensation arrangement, that person is liable to pay to Her Majesty an amount equal to the amount of the contribution, and each payment on account of that amount is deemed to be, in the year in which the payment is made,
for the purposes of paragraph 20(1)(r), a contribution by the person to the arrangement; and
an amount on account of tax payable by the custodian under Part XI.3.
A person who fails to deduct or withhold any amount as required by subsection 135(3), 135.1(7), 153(1) or 211.8(2) or section 215 shall pay to the Receiver General interest on the amount at the prescribed rate, computed

where that other person is not resident in Canada, the day of payment of the amount to the Receiver General, and
where that other person is resident in Canada, the earlier of the day of payment of the amount to the Receiver General and April 30 of the year immediately following the year in which the amount was required to be deducted or withheld;
in the case of an amount required by subsection 135(3) or 135.1(7) or section 215 to be deducted or withheld, from the day on which the amount was required to be deducted or withheld to the day of payment of the amount to the Receiver General; and

Subject to subsection 227(9.5), every person who in a calendar year has failed to remit or pay as and when required by this Act or a regulation an amount deducted or withheld as required by this Act or a regulation or an amount of tax that the person is, by section 116 or by a regulation made under subsection 215(4), required to pay is liable to a penalty of

Where a person has failed to remit as and when required by this Act or a regulation an amount deducted or withheld as required by this Act or a regulation, the person shall pay to the Receiver General interest on the amount at the prescribed rate computed from the day on which the person was so required to remit the amount to the day of remittance of the amount to the Receiver General.

[Repealed, 1994, c. 7, Sch. VIII, s. 153]
Provisions of this Act requiring a person to deduct or withhold an amount in respect of taxes from amounts payable to a taxpayer are applicable to Her Majesty in right of Canada or a province.
Where this Act requires an amount to be deducted or withheld, an agreement by the person on whom that obligation is imposed not to deduct or withhold is void.
The receipt of the Minister for an amount deducted or withheld by any person as required by or under this Act is a good and sufficient discharge of the liability of any debtor to the debtor’s creditor with respect thereto to the extent of the amount referred to in the receipt.
Parts IV, IV.1, VI and VI.1 do not apply to any corporation for any period throughout which it is exempt from tax because of section 149.
In this section, a reference to a “person” with respect to any amount deducted or withheld or required to be deducted or withheld is deemed to include a partnership.
A corporation that at any time in a taxation year would be a corporation described in any of paragraphs 149(1)(d) to (d.6) but for a provision of an appropriation Act is deemed not to be a private corporation for the purposes of Part IV with respect to that year.
Where a corporation has failed to deduct or withhold an amount as required by subsection 135(3) or 135.1(7) or section 153 or 215, has failed to remit such an amount or has failed to pay an amount of tax for a taxation year as required under Part VII or VIII, the directors of the corporation at the time the corporation was required to deduct, withhold, remit or pay the amount are jointly and severally, or solidarily, liable, together with the corporation, to pay that amount and any interest or penalties relating to it.
A director is not liable under subsection 227.1(1), unless
a certificate for the amount of the corporation’s liability referred to in that subsection has been registered in the Federal Court under section 223 and execution for that amount has been returned unsatisfied in whole or in part;
the corporation has commenced liquidation or dissolution proceedings or has been dissolved and a claim for the amount of the corporation’s liability referred to in that subsection has been proved within six months after the earlier of the date of commencement of the proceedings and the date of dissolution; or
the corporation has made an assignment or a bankruptcy order has been made against it under the Bankruptcy and Insolvency Act and a claim for the amount of the corporation’s liability referred to in that subsection has been proved within six months after the date of the assignment or bankruptcy order.
A director is not liable for a failure under subsection 227.1(1) where the director exercised the degree of care, diligence and skill to prevent the failure that a reasonably prudent person would have exercised in comparable circumstances.
No action or proceedings to recover any amount payable by a director of a corporation under subsection 227.1(1) shall be commenced more than two years after the director last ceased to be a director of that corporation.
Where execution referred to in paragraph 227.1(2)(a) has issued, the amount recoverable from a director is the amount remaining unsatisfied after execution.
Where a director pays an amount in respect of a corporation’s liability referred to in subsection 227.1(1) that is proved in liquidation, dissolution or bankruptcy proceedings, the director is entitled to any preference that Her Majesty in right of Canada would have been entitled to had that amount not been so paid and, where a certificate that relates to that amount has been registered, the director is entitled to an assignment of the certificate to the extent of the director’s payment, which assignment the Minister is hereby empowered to make.
A director who has satisfied a claim under this section is entitled to contribution from the other directors who were liable for the claim.
Where a payment is made to the Minister on account of tax under this Act, an Act of a province that imposes a tax similar to the tax imposed under this Act, or any two or more such Acts, such part of that payment as is applied by the Minister in accordance with the provisions of a collection agreement entered into under Part III of the Federal-Provincial Fiscal Arrangements and Federal Post-Secondary Education and Health Contributions Act against the tax payable by a taxpayer for a taxation year under this Act discharges the liability of the taxpayer for that tax only to the extent of the part of the payment so applied, notwithstanding that the taxpayer directed that the payment be applied in a manner other than that provided in the collection agreement or made no direction as to its application.
Section 229 is repealed.
Subsection 229.1(1) shall come into force on a day to be fixed by proclamation.
Every person carrying on business and every person who is required, by or pursuant to this Act, to pay or collect taxes or other amounts shall keep records and books of account (including an annual inventory kept in prescribed manner) at the person’s place of business or residence in Canada or at such other place as may be designated by the Minister, in such form and containing such information as will enable the taxes payable under this Act or the taxes or other amounts that should have been deducted, withheld or collected to be determined.
Every qualified donee referred to in paragraphs (a) to (c) of the definition qualified donee in subsection 149.1(1) shall keep records and books of account — in the case of a qualified donee referred to in any of subparagraphs (a)(i) and (iii) and paragraphs (b) and (c) of that definition, at an address in Canada recorded with the Minister or designated by the Minister — containing
information in such form as will enable the Minister to determine whether there are any grounds for the revocation of its registration under this Act;

Where, in respect of any taxation year, a person referred to in subsection 230(1) has not filed a return with the Minister as and when required by section 150, that person shall retain every record and book of account that is required by this section to be kept and that relates to that taxation year, together with every account and voucher necessary to verify the information contained therein, until the expiration of six years from the day the return for that taxation year is filed.
Where a person required by this section to keep records and books of account serves a notice of objection or where that person is a party to an appeal to the Tax Court of Canada under this Act, that person shall retain every record, book of account, account and voucher necessary for dealing with the objection or appeal until, in the case of the serving of a notice of objection, the time provided by section 169 to appeal has elapsed or, in the case of an appeal, until the appeal is disposed of and any further appeal in respect thereof is disposed of or the time for filing any such further appeal has expired.
Where the Minister is of the opinion that it is necessary for the administration of this Act, the Minister may, by registered letter or by a demand served personally, require any person required by this section to keep records and books of account to retain those records and books of account, together with every account and voucher necessary to verify the information contained therein, for such period as is specified in the letter or demand.
A person required by this section to keep records and books of account may dispose of the records and books of account referred to in this section, together with every account and voucher necessary to verify the information contained therein, before the expiration of the period in respect of which those records and books of account are required to be kept if written permission for their disposal is given by the Minister.
Every agent authorized under the Canada Elections Act to accept monetary contributions referred to in that Act shall keep records, sufficient to enable each monetary contribution within the meaning assigned by subsection 127(4.1) that they receive and the expenditures that they make to be verified, (including a duplicate of the receipt referred to in subsection 127(3) for each of those monetary contributions) at
in the case of an agent other than an official agent of a candidate, the address recorded in the registry of parties or of electoral district associations referred to in the Canada Elections Act; and
in the case of an official agent of a candidate, the agent’s address set out in the nomination papers filed under that Act with the returning officer when the candidate was a prospective candidate or any other address that the Minister designates.
Each agent to whom subsection (1) applies shall file with the Minister an information return in prescribed form and containing prescribed information. The return is to be filed within the period for the filing of a financial transactions return or an electoral campaign return, as the case may be, under the Canada Elections Act.
Subsections 230(3) to (8) apply, with any modifications that the circumstances require, in respect of the keeping of records by agents as required by subsection (1).

The Minister may, for any purpose related to the administration or enforcement of this Act, authorize any person, whether or not the person is an officer of the Canada Revenue Agency, to make such inquiry as the person may deem necessary with reference to anything relating to the administration or enforcement of this Act.
Where the Minister, pursuant to subsection 231.4(1), authorizes a person to make an inquiry, the Minister shall forthwith apply to the Tax Court of Canada for an order appointing a hearing officer before whom the inquiry will be held.

No person shall, physically or otherwise, interfere with, hinder or molest an official (in this subsection having the meaning assigned by subsection 241(10)) doing anything that the official is authorized to do under this Act or attempt to interfere with, hinder or molest any official doing or prevent or attempt to prevent an official from doing, anything that the official is authorized to do under this Act, and every person shall, unless the person is unable to do so, do everything that the person is required to do by or under subsection (1) or sections 231.1 to 231.4.

a reasonable period of time of not less than 90 days for the production of the information or document;
a description of the information or document being sought; and
the consequences under subsection 231.6(8) to the person of the failure to provide the information or documents being sought within the period of time set out in the notice.
The person on whom a notice of a requirement is served under subsection 231.6(2) may, within 90 days after the service of the notice, apply to a judge for a review of the requirement.
On hearing an application under subsection 231.6(4) in respect of a requirement, a judge may
confirm the requirement;
vary the requirement as the judge considers appropriate in the circumstances; or
set aside the requirement if the judge is satisfied that the requirement is unreasonable.
For the purposes of paragraph 231.6(5)(c), the requirement to provide the information or document shall not be considered to be unreasonable because the information or document is under the control of or available to a non-resident person that is not controlled by the person served with the notice of the requirement under subsection 231.6(2) if that person is related to the non-resident person.
The period of time between the day on which an application for review of a requirement is made pursuant to subsection 231.6(4) and the day on which the review is decided shall not be counted in the computation of
the period of time set out in the notice of the requirement; and
the period of time within which an assessment may be made pursuant to subsection 152(4).

On summary application by the Minister, a judge may, notwithstanding subsection 238(2), order a person to provide any access, assistance, information or document sought by the Minister under section 231.1 or 231.2 if the judge is satisfied that
the person was required under section 231.1 or 231.2 to provide the access, assistance, information or document and did not do so; and
in the case of information or a document, the information or document is not protected from disclosure by solicitor-client privilege (within the meaning of subsection 232(1)).
An application under subsection (1) must not be heard before the end of five clear days from the day the notice of application is served on the person against whom the order is sought.
A judge making an order under subsection (1) may impose any conditions in respect of the order that the judge considers appropriate.
If a person fails or refuses to comply with an order, a judge may find the person in contempt of court and the person is subject to the processes and the punishments of the court to which the judge is appointed.
An order by a judge under subsection (1) may be appealed to a court having appellate jurisdiction over decisions of the court to which the judge is appointed. An appeal does not suspend the execution of the order unless it is so ordered by a judge of the court to which the appeal is made.

(privilège des communications entre client et avocat)
Where a lawyer is prosecuted for failure to comply with a requirement under section 231.2 with respect to information or a document, the lawyer shall be acquitted if the lawyer establishes to the satisfaction of the court
that the lawyer, on reasonable grounds, believed that a client of the lawyer had a solicitor-client privilege in respect of the information or document; and
that the lawyer communicated to the Minister, or some person duly authorized to act for the Minister, the lawyer’s refusal to comply with the requirement together with a claim that a named client of the lawyer had a solicitor-client privilege in respect of the information or document.
Where, pursuant to section 231.3, an officer is about to seize a document in the possession of a lawyer and the lawyer claims that a named client of the lawyer has a solicitor-client privilege in respect of that document, the officer shall, without inspecting, examining or making copies of the document,
seize the document and place it, together with any other document in respect of which the lawyer at the same time makes the same claim on behalf of the same client, in a package and suitably seal and identify the package; and
place the package in the custody of the sheriff of the district or county in which the seizure was made or, if the officer and the lawyer agree in writing on a person to act as custodian, in the custody of that person.

retain it and ensure that it is preserved until it is produced to a judge as required under this section and an order is issued under this section in respect of the document.
Where a document has been seized and placed in custody under subsection 232(3) or is being retained under subsection 232(3.1), the client, or the lawyer on behalf of the client, may
within 14 days after the day the document was so placed in custody or commenced to be so retained apply, on three clear days notice of motion to the Deputy Attorney General of Canada, to a judge for an order

if the judge is of the opinion that the client does not have a solicitor-client privilege in respect of the document, shall order
that the custodian deliver the document to the officer or some other person designated by the Commissioner of Revenue, in the case of a document that was seized and placed in custody under subsection 232(3), or

Where a document has been seized and placed in custody under subsection 232(3) or where a document is being retained under subsection 232(3.1) and a judge, on the application of the Attorney General of Canada, is satisfied that neither the client nor the lawyer has made an application under paragraph 232(4)(a) or, having made that application, neither the client nor the lawyer has made an application under paragraph 232(4)(c), the judge shall order
that the custodian deliver the document to the officer or some other person designated by the Commissioner of Revenue, in the case of a document that was seized and placed in custody under subsection 232(3); or

Where a lawyer has, for the purpose of subsection 232(2), 232(3) or 232(3.1), made a claim that a named client of the lawyer has a solicitor-client privilege in respect of information or a document, the lawyer shall at the same time communicate to the Minister or some person duly authorized to act for the Minister the address of the client last known to the lawyer so that the Minister may endeavour to advise the client of the claim of privilege that has been made on the client’s behalf and may thereby afford the client an opportunity, if it is practicable within the time limited by this section, of waiving the claim of privilege before the matter is to be decided by a judge or other tribunal.

the penalty or interest has not been paid; or
the penalty and interest have been paid, but an amount on account of the penalty or interest has been repaid under subsection 164(1.1) or applied under subsection 164(2).
Notwithstanding subsections 152(4) to 152(5), such assessments, determinations and redeterminations may be made as are necessary to give effect to subsection 237.1(6.1).
Every promoter in respect of a tax shelter who accepts consideration in respect of the tax shelter or who acts as a principal or agent in respect of the tax shelter in a calendar year shall, in prescribed form and manner, file an information return for the year containing

the day referred to in subsection 237.1(7.1); and
the day that is 30 days after the day of the discontinuance.
Every person required to file a return under subsection 237.1(7) shall, on or before the day on or before which the return is required to be filed with the Minister, forward to each person to whom the return relates 2 copies of the portion of the return relating to that person.

$500, and
25% of the greater of
the total of all amounts each of which is the consideration received or receivable from a person in respect of the tax shelter before the correct information is filed with the Minister or the identification number is issued, as the case may be, and
the total of all amounts each of which is an amount stated or represented to be the value of property that a particular person who acquires or otherwise invests in the tax shelter could donate to a qualified donee, if the tax shelter is a gifting arrangement and consideration has been received or is receivable from the particular person in respect of the tax shelter before the correct information is filed with the Minister or the identification number is issued, as the case may be.

if the tax shelter is a gifting arrangement, the total of all amounts each of which is an amount stated or represented to be the value of property that the particular person could donate to a qualified donee.
Without restricting the generality of sections 231 to 231.3, where an application under subsection 237.1(2) with respect to a tax shelter has been made, notwithstanding that a return of income has not been filed by any taxpayer under section 150 for the taxation year of the taxpayer in which an amount is claimed as a deduction in respect of the tax shelter, sections 231 to 231.3 apply, with such modifications as the circumstances require, for the purpose of permitting the Minister to verify or ascertain any information in respect of the tax shelter.
Section 237.1 is applicable with respect to interests acquired after August 31, 1989.

An information return in prescribed form and containing prescribed information in respect of a reportable transaction must be filed with the Minister by
every person for whom a tax benefit results, or would result but for section 245, from the reportable transaction, from any other reportable transaction that is part of a series of transactions that includes the reportable transaction or from the series of transactions;
every person who has entered into, for the benefit of a person described in paragraph (a), an avoidance transaction that is a reportable transaction;
every advisor or promoter in respect of the reportable transaction, or in respect of any other transaction that is part of a series of transactions that includes the reportable transaction, who is or was entitled, either immediately or in the future and either absolutely or contingently, to a fee in respect of any of those transactions that is
described in paragraph (a) of the definition reportable transaction in subsection (1), or
in respect of contractual protection provided in circumstances described in paragraph (c) of the definition reportable transaction in subsection (1); and
every person who is not dealing at arm’s length with an advisor or promoter in respect of the reportable transaction and who is or was entitled, either immediately or in the future and either absolutely or contingently, to a fee that is referred to in paragraph (c).
For greater certainty, and subject to subsection (11), if subsection (2) applies to a person in respect of each reportable transaction that is part of a series of transactions that includes an avoidance transaction, the filing of a prescribed form by the person that reports each transaction in the series is deemed to satisfy the obligation of the person under subsection (2) in respect of each transaction so reported.
For the purpose of subsection (2), if any person is required to file an information return in respect of a reportable transaction under that subsection, the filing by any such person of an information return with full and accurate disclosure in prescribed form in respect of the transaction is deemed to have been made by each person to whom subsection (2) applies in respect of the transaction.
An information return required by subsection (2) to be filed by a person for a reportable transaction is to be filed with the Minister on or before June 30 of the calendar year following the calendar year in which the transaction first became a reportable transaction in respect of the person.
Notwithstanding subsection 245(4), subsection 245(2) is deemed to apply at any time to any reportable transaction in respect of a person described in paragraph (2)(a) in relation to the reportable transaction if, at that time,
the obligation under subsection (2) of the person in respect of the reportable transaction, or any other reportable transaction that is part of a series of transactions that includes the reportable transaction, has not been satisfied;
a person is liable to a penalty under subsection (8) in respect of the reportable transaction or any other reportable transaction that is part of a series of transactions that includes the reportable transaction; and
the penalty under subsection (8) or interest on the penalty has not been paid, or has been paid but an amount on account of the penalty or interest has been repaid under subsection 164(1.1) or applied under subsection 164(2).
Notwithstanding subsections 152(4) to (5), the Minister may make any assessments, determinations and redeterminations that are necessary to give effect to subsection (8).
Every person who fails to file an information return in respect of a reportable transaction as required under subsection (2) on or before the day required under subsection (5) is liable to a penalty equal to the total of each amount that is a fee to which an advisor or a promoter (or any person who does not deal at arm’s length with the advisor or the promoter) in respect of the reportable transaction is or was entitled, either immediately or in the future and either absolutely or contingently, to receive in respect of the reportable transaction, any transaction that is part of the series of transactions that includes the reportable transaction or the series of transactions that includes the reportable transaction, if the fee is
described in paragraph (a) of the definition reportable transaction in subsection (1); or
in respect of contractual protection provided in circumstances described in paragraph (c) of the definition reportable transaction in subsection (1).
If more than one person is liable to a penalty under subsection (8) in respect of a reportable transaction, each of those persons are jointly and severally, or solidarily, liable to pay the penalty.
Notwithstanding subsections (8) and (9), the liability of an advisor or a promoter, or a person with whom the advisor or promoter does not deal at arm’s length, to a penalty under those subsections in respect of a reportable transaction shall not exceed the total of each amount that is a fee referred to in subsection (8) to which that advisor or promoter, or a person with whom the advisor or promoter does not deal at arm’s length, is or was entitled, either immediately or in the future and either absolutely or contingently, to receive in respect of the reportable transaction.
A person required to file an information return in respect of a reportable transaction is not liable for a penalty under subsection (8) if the person has exercised the degree of care, diligence and skill to prevent the failure to file that a reasonably prudent person would have exercised in comparable circumstances.
The filing of an information return under this section by a person in respect of a reportable transaction is not an admission by the person that
section 245 applies in respect of any transaction; or
any transaction is part of a series of transactions.
Without restricting the generality of sections 231 to 231.3, even if a return of income has not been filed by a taxpayer under section 150 for the taxation year of the taxpayer in which a tax benefit results, or would result but for section 245, from a reportable transaction, sections 231 to 231.3 apply, with such modifications as the circumstances require, for the purpose of permitting the Minister to verify or ascertain any information in respect of that transaction.
For the purpose of this section, a reportable transaction does not include a transaction that is, or is part of a series of transactions that includes,
the acquisition of a tax shelter for which an information return has been filed with the Minister under subsection 237.1(7); or
the issuance of a flow-through share for which an information return has been filed with the Minister under subsection 66(12.68).
Notwithstanding subsection (8), the amount of the penalty, if any, that applies on a person under that subsection in respect of a reportable transaction shall not exceed the amount determined by the formula A – B where A is the amount of the penalty imposed on the person under subsection (8), determined without reference to this subsection; and B is if the reportable transaction is the acquisition of a tax shelter, the amount of the penalty, if any, that applies on the person under subsection 237.1(7.4) in respect of the tax shelter, if the reportable transaction is the issuance of a flow-through share, the amount of the penalty, if any, that applies on the person under subsection 66(12.74) in respect of the issuance of the flow-through share, and in any other case, nil.
Subsection (14) does not apply to a reportable transaction if it is reasonable, having regard to all of the circumstances, to conclude that one of the main reasons for the acquisition of a tax shelter, or the issuance of a flow-through share, is to avoid the application of this section.
For greater certainty, for the purpose of this section, a lawyer who is an advisor in respect of a reportable transaction is not required to disclose in an information return in respect of the transaction any information in respect of which the lawyer, on reasonable grounds, believes that a client of the lawyer has solicitor-client privilege.
Every person who has failed to file or make a return as and when required by or under this Act or a regulation or who has failed to comply with subsection 116(3), 127(3.1) or 127(3.2), 147.1(7) or 153(1), any of sections 230 to 232 or a regulation made under subsection 147.1(18) or with an order made under subsection 238(2) is guilty of an offence and, in addition to any penalty otherwise provided, is liable on summary conviction to
a fine of not less than $1,000 and not more than $25,000; or
both the fine described in paragraph 238(1)(a) and imprisonment for a term not exceeding 12 months.
Where a person has been convicted by a court of an offence under subsection 238(1) for a failure to comply with a provision of this Act or a regulation, the court may make such order as it deems proper in order to enforce compliance with the provision.
Where a person has been convicted under this section of failing to comply with a provision of this Act or a regulation, the person is not liable to pay a penalty imposed under section 162 or 227 for the same failure unless the person was assessed for that penalty or that penalty was demanded from the person before the information or complaint giving rise to the conviction was laid or made.

made, or participated in, assented to or acquiesced in the making of, false or deceptive statements in a return, certificate, statement or answer filed or made as required by or under this Act or a regulation,

both the fine described in paragraph 239(1)(f) and imprisonment for a term not exceeding 2 years.
Every person who obtains or claims a refund or credit under this Act to which the person or any other person is not entitled or obtains or claims a refund or credit under this Act in an amount that is greater than the amount to which the person or other person is entitled
by making, or participating in, assenting to or acquiescing in the making of, a false or deceptive statement in a return, certificate, statement or answer filed or made under this Act or a regulation,
by destroying, altering, mutilating, hiding or otherwise disposing of a record or book of account of the person or other person,

wilfully in any manner, or
by conspiring with any person to commit any offence under this subsection,
a fine of not less than 50% and not more than 200% of the amount by which the amount of the refund or credit obtained or claimed exceeds the amount, if any, of the refund or credit to which the person or other person, as the case may be, is entitled, or
both the fine described in paragraph 239(1.1)(g) and imprisonment for a term not exceeding 2 years.
Every person who is charged with an offence described in subsection 239(1) or 239(1.1) may, at the election of the Attorney General of Canada, be prosecuted on indictment and, if convicted, is, in addition to any penalty otherwise provided, liable to
a fine of not less than 100% and not more than 200% of
where the offence is described in subsection 239(1), the amount of the tax that was sought to be evaded, and
where the offence is described in subsection 239(1.1), the amount by which the amount of the refund or credit obtained or claimed exceeds the amount, if any, of the refund or credit to which the person or other person, as the case may be, is entitled; and
imprisonment for a term not exceeding 5 years.
Every person who wilfully provides another person with an incorrect identification number for a tax shelter is guilty of an offence and, in addition to any penalty otherwise provided, is liable on summary conviction to

imprisonment for a term not exceeding 2 years; or
both the fine described in paragraph 239(2.1)(a) and the imprisonment described in paragraph 239(2.1)(b).
Every person who
contravenes subsection 241(1), or
knowingly contravenes an order made under subsection 241(4.1)
Every person
to whom taxpayer information has been provided for a particular purpose under paragraph 241(4)(b), (c), (e), (h), (k), (n), (o) or (p).

In subsection 239(2.21), official and taxpayer information have the meanings assigned by subsection 241(10).
Every person to whom the Social Insurance Number of an individual or to whom the business number of a taxpayer or partnership has been provided under this Act or a regulation, and every officer, employee and agent of such a person, who without written consent of the individual, taxpayer or partnership, as the case may be, knowingly uses, communicates or allows to be communicated the number (otherwise than as required or authorized by law, in the course of duties in connection with the administration or enforcement of this Act or for a purpose for which it was provided by the individual, taxpayer or partnership, as the case may be) is guilty of an offence and liable on summary conviction to a fine not exceeding $5,000 or to imprisonment for a term not exceeding 12 months, or to both.
If a person is convicted under this section, the person is not liable to pay a penalty imposed under any of sections 162, 163, 163.2 and 163.3 for the same contravention unless the penalty is assessed before the information or complaint giving rise to the conviction was laid or made.
Where, in any appeal under this Act, substantially the same facts are at issue as those that are at issue in a prosecution under this section, the Minister may file a stay of proceedings with the Tax Court of Canada and thereupon the proceedings before that Court are stayed pending final determination of the outcome of the prosecution.
In determining whether an offence under this Act, for which a person may on summary conviction or indictment be liable for a fine or imprisonment, has been committed, and in determining the punishment for such an offence, this Act is to be read without reference to subsection 120(2.2).
The definitions in subsection 163.3(1) apply in this section.

Notwithstanding any other Act of Parliament or other law, no official or other representative of a government entity shall be required, in connection with any legal proceedings, to give or produce evidence relating to any taxpayer information.
Subsections 241(1) and 241(2) do not apply in respect of

at the beginning of the first taxation year or fiscal period of the taxpayer commencing after the end of the taxation year or fiscal period, as the case may be, in which the goods and services tax in respect of such property was considered for the purposes of determining the input tax credit to be payable, if the tax was considered for the purposes of determining the input tax credit to have become payable in the reporting period, or
If the input tax refund of a taxpayer under An Act respecting the Québec sales tax, R.S.Q., c. T-0.1, in respect of a passenger vehicle or aircraft is determined with reference to section 252 of that Act, subparagraphs (16.1)(a)(i) to (iii) are to be read as they apply in respect of the passenger vehicle or aircraft, as the case may be, as follows:
if no such tax was considered for the purposes of determining the input tax refund to have become payable in the reporting period, at the end of the reporting period; or”.
An amount in respect of an input tax credit that is deemed by subsection 296(5) of the Excise Tax Act to have been claimed in a return or application filed under Part IX of that Act is deemed to have been so claimed for the reporting period under that Act that includes the time when the Minister makes the assessment referred to in that subsection.
An amount in respect of an input tax refund that is deemed by section 30.5 of the Tax Administration Act, R.S.Q., c. A-6.002, to have been claimed is deemed to have been so claimed for the reporting period under An Act respecting the Québec sales tax, R.S.Q., c. T-0.1, that includes the day on which an assessment is issued to the taxpayer indicating that the refund has been allocated under that section 30.5.
For the purposes of this Act, where an amount is added at a particular time in determining the net tax of a taxpayer under Part IX of the Excise Tax Act in respect of an input tax credit relating to property or a service that had been previously deducted in determining the net tax of the taxpayer, that amount shall be deemed to be assistance repaid at the particular time in respect of the property or service pursuant to a legal obligation to repay all or part of that assistance.
For the purposes of this Act, if an amount is added at a particular time in determining the net tax of a taxpayer under An Act respecting the Québec sales tax, R.S.Q., c. T-0.1, in respect of an input tax refund relating to property or service that had been previously deducted in determining the net tax of the taxpayer, that amount is deemed to be assistance repaid at the particular time in respect of the property or service under a legal obligation to repay all or part of that assistance.
Except as otherwise provided, property shall be considered to have become available for use for the purposes of this Act at the time at which it has, or would have if it were depreciable property, become available for use for the purpose of subsection 13(26).
Subject to subsections (21) to (23), for the purposes of this Act, if at any time a property owned by two or more persons is the subject of a partition, the following rules apply, notwithstanding any retroactive or declaratory effect of the partition:
each such person who had, immediately before that time, an interest in, or for civil law a right in, the property (which interest or right in the property is referred to in this subsection and subsection (21) as an “interest” or a “right”, as the case may be) is deemed not to have disposed at that time of that proportion, not exceeding 100%, of the interest or right that the fair market value of that person’s interest or right in the property immediately after that time is of the fair market value of that person’s interest or right in the property immediately before that time,
each such person who has an interest or a right in the property immediately after that time is deemed not to have acquired at that time that proportion of the interest or right that the fair market value of that person’s interest or right in the property immediately before that time is of the fair market value of that person’s interest or right in the property immediately after that time,
each such person who had an interest or a right in the property immediately before that time is deemed to have had until that time, and to have disposed at that time of, that proportion of the person’s interest or right to which paragraph (a) does not apply,
each such person who has an interest or a right in the property immediately after that time is deemed not to have had before that time, and to have acquired at that time, that proportion of the person’s interest or right to which paragraph (b) does not apply, and
paragraphs (a) to (d) do not apply if the interest or right of the person is an interest or a right in fungible tangible property, or for civil law fungible corporeal property described in that person’s inventory,
If a property that was owned by two or more persons is the subject of a partition among those persons and, as a consequence of it, each such person has, in the property, a new interest or right the fair market value of which immediately after the partition, expressed as a percentage of the fair market value of all the new interests or rights in the property immediately after the partition, is equal to the fair market value of that person’s undivided interest or right immediately before the partition, expressed as a percentage of the fair market value of all the undivided interests or rights in the property immediately before the partition,
subsection (20) does not apply to the property, and
the new interest or right of each such person is deemed to be a continuation of that person’s undivided interest or right in the property immediately before the partition,
subdivisions of a building or of a parcel of land that are established in the course of, or in contemplation of, a partition and that are co-owned by the same persons who co-owned the building or the parcel of land, or by their assignee, shall be regarded as one property, and
if an interest or a right in the property is or includes an undivided interest or right, the fair market value of the interest or right shall be determined without regard to any discount or premium that applies to a minority or majority interest or right in the property.
Where at any time property could, as a consequence of the dissolution of a matrimonial regime between 2 spouses or common-law partners, be the subject of a partition, for the purposes of this Act
where that property was owned by one of the spouses or common-law partners immediately before it became subject to that regime and had not subsequently been disposed of before that time, it shall be deemed to be owned at that time by that spouse or common-law partner and not by the other spouse or common-law partner; and
in any other case, the property shall be deemed to be owned by the spouse or common-law partner who has the administration of that property at that time and not by the other spouse or common-law partner.
Where, immediately after the dissolution of a matrimonial regime (other than a dissolution occurring as a consequence of death), the owner of a property that was subject to that regime is not the person, or the estate of the person, who is deemed by subsection 248(22) to have been the owner of the property immediately before the dissolution, the person shall be deemed for the purposes of this Act to have transferred the property to the person’s spouse or common-law partner immediately before the dissolution.
If, as a consequence of the laws of a province relating to spouses’ or common-law partners’ interests or rights in respect of property as a result of marriage or common-law partnership, property is, after the death of a taxpayer,
transferred or distributed to a person who was the taxpayer’s spouse or common-law partner at the time of the death, or acquired by that person, the property shall be deemed to have been so transferred, distributed or acquired, as the case may be, as a consequence of the death; or
transferred or distributed to the taxpayer’s estate, or acquired by the taxpayer’s estate, the property shall be deemed to have been so transferred, distributed or acquired, as the case may be, immediately before the time that is immediately before the death.
For greater certainty, it is hereby declared that, unless specifically required, neither the equity nor the consolidation method of accounting shall be used to determine any amount for the purposes of this Act.
For the purposes of this Act,
a person or partnership beneficially interested in a particular trust includes any person or partnership that has any right (whether immediate or future, whether absolute or contingent or whether conditional on or subject to the exercise of any discretion by any person or partnership) as a beneficiary under a trust to receive any of the income or capital of the particular trust either directly from the particular trust or indirectly through one or more trusts or partnerships;
except for the purpose of this paragraph, a particular person or partnership is deemed to be beneficially interested in a particular trust at a particular time where
the particular person or partnership is not beneficially interested in the particular trust at the particular time,
because of the terms or conditions of the particular trust or any arrangement in respect of the particular trust at the particular time, the particular person or partnership might, because of the exercise of any discretion by any person or partnership, become beneficially interested in the particular trust at the particular time or at a later time, and
at or before the particular time, either
the particular trust has acquired property, directly or indirectly in any manner whatever, from
the particular person or partnership,
another person with whom the particular person or partnership, or a member of the particular partnership, does not deal at arm’s length,
a person or partnership with whom the other person referred to in subclause 248(25)(b)(iii)(A)(II) does not deal at arm’s length,
a controlled foreign affiliate of the particular person or of another person with whom the particular person or partnership, or a member of the particular partnership, does not deal at arm’s length, or
a non-resident corporation that would, if the particular partnership were a corporation resident in Canada, be a controlled foreign affiliate of the particular partnership, or
a person or partnership described in any of subclauses 248(25)(b)(iii)(A)(I) to 248(25)(b)(iii)(A)(V) has given a guarantee on behalf of the particular trust or provided any other financial assistance whatever to the particular trust; and
a member of a partnership that is beneficially interested in a trust is deemed to be beneficially interested in the trust.
If, at any time, a particular trust transfers property to another trust (other than a trust governed by a registered retirement savings plan or by a registered retirement income fund) in circumstances to which paragraph (f) of the definition disposition in subsection (1) applies, without affecting the personal liabilities under this Act of the trustees of either trust or the application of subsection 104(5.8) and paragraph 122(2)(f),
the other trust is deemed to be after that time the same trust as, and a continuation of, the particular trust; and
for greater certainty, if, as a result of a transaction or event, the property was deemed to be taxable Canadian property of the particular trust by any of paragraphs 51(1)(f), 85(1)(i) and 85.1(1)(a), subsection 85.1(5), paragraph 85.1(8)(b), subsections 87(4) and (5) and paragraphs 97(2)(c) and 107(3.1)(d), the property is also deemed to be, at any time that is within 60 months after the transaction or event, taxable Canadian property of the other trust.
Except for the purpose of this subsection, where at any time property is transferred to a trust in circumstances to which paragraph (k) of the definition disposition in subsection (1) applies, the trust is deemed to deal with the property as agent for the transferor throughout the period that begins at the time of the transfer and ends at the time of the first change after that time in the beneficial ownership of the property.
The cost to a taxpayer of a particular unit of a trust is deemed to be equal to the amount described in paragraph (a) where
the trust issues the particular unit to the taxpayer directly in satisfaction of a right to enforce payment of an amount by the trust in respect of the taxpayer’s capital interest in the trust;
at the time that the particular unit is issued, the trust is neither a personal trust nor a trust prescribed for the purpose of subsection 107(2); and
either
the particular unit is capital property and the amount is not proceeds of disposition of a capital interest in the trust, or
the particular unit is not capital property and subparagraph 53(2)(h)(i.1) does not apply in respect of the amount described in paragraph (a) but would so apply if that subparagraph were read without reference to clauses 53(2)(h)(i.1)(A) and (B).
If at a particular time a taxpayer’s capital interest in a trust includes a right to enforce payment of an amount by the trust, the amount shall be added at the particular time to the cost otherwise determined to the taxpayer of the capital interest where
immediately after the particular time there is a disposition by the taxpayer of the capital interest;
as a consequence of the disposition, the right to enforce payment of the amount is acquired by another person or partnership; and
if the right to enforce payment of the amount had been satisfied by a payment to the taxpayer by the trust, there would have been no disposition of that right for the purposes of this Act because of the application of paragraph (i) of the definition disposition in subsection (1).
For greater certainty, where at any time a person or partnership (in this subsection referred to as the “debtor”) becomes liable to repay money borrowed by the debtor or becomes liable to pay an amount (other than interest)
as consideration for any property acquired by the debtor or services rendered to the debtor, or
that is deductible in computing the debtor’s income,
For greater certainty,
unless the context requires otherwise, an obligation issued by a debtor includes any part of a larger obligation that was issued by the debtor;
the principal amount of that part shall be considered to be the portion of the principal amount of that larger obligation that relates to that part; and
the amount for which that part was issued shall be considered to be the portion of the amount for which that larger obligation was issued that relates to that part.
Unless a contrary intention is evident, no provision of this Act shall be read or construed
to require the inclusion or permit the deduction, either directly or indirectly, in computing a taxpayer’s income, taxable income or taxable income earned in Canada, for a taxation year or in computing a taxpayer’s income or loss for a taxation year from a particular source or from sources in a particular place, of any amount to the extent that the amount has already been directly or indirectly included or deducted, as the case may be, in computing such income, taxable income, taxable income earned in Canada or loss, for the year or any preceding taxation year;
to permit the deduction, either directly or indirectly, in computing a taxpayer’s tax payable under any Part of this Act for a taxation year of any amount to the extent that the amount has already been directly or indirectly deducted in computing such tax payable for the year or any preceding taxation year; or
to consider an amount to have been paid on account of a taxpayer’s tax payable under any Part of this Act for a taxation year to the extent that the amount has already been considered to have been paid on account of such tax payable for the year or any preceding taxation year.
[Repealed, 2007, c. 35, s. 65]
The existence of an amount of an advantage in respect of a transfer of property does not in and by itself disqualify the transfer from being a gift to a qualified donee if
the amount of the advantage does not exceed 80% of the fair market value of the transferred property; or
the transferor of the property establishes to the satisfaction of the Minister that the transfer was made with the intention to make a gift.
The eligible amount of a gift or monetary contribution is the amount by which the fair market value of the property that is the subject of the gift or monetary contribution exceeds the amount of the advantage, if any, in respect of the gift or monetary contribution.
The amount of the advantage in respect of a gift or monetary contribution by a taxpayer is the total of
the total of all amounts, other than an amount referred to in paragraph (b), each of which is the value, at the time the gift or monetary contribution is made, of any property, service, compensation, use or other benefit that the taxpayer, or a person or partnership who does not deal at arm’s length with the taxpayer, has received, obtained or enjoyed, or is entitled, either immediately or in the future and either absolutely or contingently, to receive, obtain, or enjoy
that is consideration for the gift or monetary contribution,
that is in gratitude for the gift or monetary contribution, or
that is in any other way related to the gift or monetary contribution, and
the limited-recourse debt, determined under subsection 143.2(6.1), in respect of the gift or monetary contribution at the time the gift or monetary contribution is made.
The cost to a taxpayer of a property, acquired by the taxpayer in circumstances where subsection (32) applies to include the value of the property in computing the amount of the advantage in respect of a gift or monetary contribution, is equal to the fair market value of the property at the time the gift or monetary contribution is made.
If at any time in a taxation year a taxpayer has paid an amount (in this subsection referred to as the “repaid amount”) on account of the principal amount of an indebtedness which was, before that time, an unpaid principal amount that was a limited-recourse debt referred to in subsection 143.2(6.1) (in this subsection referred to as the “former limited-recourse debt”) in respect of a gift or monetary contribution (in this subsection referred to as the “original gift” or “original monetary contribution”, respectively, as the case may be) of the taxpayer (otherwise than by way of an assignment or transfer of a guarantee, security or similar indemnity or covenant, or by way of a payment in respect of which any taxpayer referred to in subsection 143.2(6.1) has incurred an indebtedness that would be a limited-recourse debt referred to in that subsection if that indebtedness were in respect of a gift or monetary contribution made at the time that that indebtedness was incurred), the following rules apply:
if the former limited-recourse debt is in respect of the original gift, for the purposes of sections 110.1 and 118.1, the taxpayer is deemed to have made in the taxation year a gift to a qualified donee, the eligible amount of which deemed gift is the amount, if any, by which
the amount that would have been the eligible amount of the original gift, if the total of all such repaid amounts paid at or before that time were paid immediately before the original gift was made,
the total of
the eligible amount of the original gift, and
the eligible amount of all other gifts deemed by this paragraph to have been made before that time in respect of the original gift; and
if the former limited-recourse debt is in respect of the original monetary contribution, for the purposes of subsection 127(3), the taxpayer is deemed to have made in the taxation year a monetary contribution referred to in that subsection, the eligible amount of which is the amount, if any, by which
the amount that would have been the eligible amount of the original monetary contribution, if the total of all such repaid amounts paid at or before that time were paid immediately before the original monetary contribution was made,
the total of
the eligible amount of the original monetary contribution, and
the eligible amount of all other monetary contributions deemed by this paragraph to have been made before that time in respect of the original monetary contribution.
For the purposes of subsection (31), paragraph 69(1)(b) and subsections 110.1(2.1) and (3) and 118.1(5.4), (6) and (13.2), the fair market value of a property that is the subject of a gift made by a taxpayer to a qualified donee is deemed to be the lesser of the fair market value of the property otherwise determined and the cost or, in the case of capital property, the adjusted cost base or, in the case of a life insurance policy in respect of which the taxpayer is a policyholder, the adjusted cost basis (as defined in subsection 148(9)), of the property to the taxpayer immediately before the gift is made if
the taxpayer acquired the property under a gifting arrangement that is a tax shelter as defined in subsection 237.1(1); or
except where the gift is made as a consequence of the taxpayer’s death,
the taxpayer acquired the property less than three years before the day that the gift is made, or
the taxpayer acquired the property less than 10 years before the day that the gift is made and it is reasonable to conclude that, at the time the taxpayer acquired the property, one of the main reasons for the acquisition was to make a gift of the property to a qualified donee.
If a taxpayer acquired a property, otherwise than by reason of the death of an individual, that is the subject of a gift to which subsection (35) applies because of subparagraph (35)(b)(i) or (ii) and the property was, at any time within the 3-year or 10-year period, respectively, that ends when the gift was made, acquired by a person or partnership with whom the taxpayer does not deal at arm’s length, for the purpose of applying subsection (35) to the taxpayer, the cost, or in the case of capital property, the adjusted cost base, of the property to the taxpayer immediately before the gift is made is deemed to be equal to the lowest amount that is the cost, or in the case of capital property, the adjusted cost base, to the taxpayer or any of those persons or partnerships immediately before the property was disposed of by that person or partnership.
Subsection (35) does not apply to a gift
of inventory;
of real property or an immovable situated in Canada;
of an object referred to in subparagraph 39(1)(a)(i.1);
of property to which paragraph 38(a.1) or (a.2) applies;
of a share of the capital stock of a corporation if
the share was issued by the corporation to the donor,
immediately before the gift, the corporation was controlled by the donor, a person related to the donor or a group of persons each of whom is related to the donor, and
subsection (35) would not have applied in respect of the consideration for which the share was issued had that consideration been donated by the donor to the qualified donee when the share was so donated;
by a corporation of property if
the property was acquired by the corporation in circumstances to which subsection 85(1) or (2) applied,
immediately before the gift, the shareholder from whom the corporation acquired the property controlled the corporation or was related to a person or each member of a group of persons that controlled the corporation, and
subsection (35) would not have applied in respect of the property had the property not been transferred to the corporation and had the shareholder made the gift to the qualified donee when the corporation so made the gift; or
of a property that was acquired in circumstances where subsection 70(6) or (9) or 73(1), (3) or (4) applied, unless subsection (36) would have applied if this subsection were read without reference to this paragraph.
The eligible amount of a particular gift of property by a taxpayer is nil if it can reasonably be concluded that the particular gift relates to a transaction or series of transactions
one of the purposes of which is to avoid the application of subsection (35) to a gift of any property; or
that would, if this Act were read without reference to this paragraph, result in a tax benefit to which subsection 245(2) applies.
If a taxpayer disposes of a property (in this subsection referred to as the “substantive gift”) that is a capital property or an eligible capital property of the taxpayer, to a recipient that is a registered party, a registered association or a candidate, as those terms are defined in the Canada Elections Act, or that is a qualified donee, subsection (35) would have applied in respect of the substantive gift if it had been the subject of a gift by the taxpayer to a qualified donee, and all or a part of the proceeds of disposition of the substantive gift are (or are substituted, directly or indirectly in any manner whatever, for) property that is the subject of a gift or monetary contribution by the taxpayer to the recipient or any person dealing not at arm’s length with the recipient, the following rules apply:
for the purpose of subsection (31), the fair market value of the property that is the subject of the gift or monetary contribution made by the taxpayer is deemed to be that proportion of the lesser of the fair market value of the substantive gift and the cost, or if the substantive gift is capital property of the taxpayer, the adjusted cost base, of the substantive gift to the taxpayer immediately before the disposition to the recipient, that the fair market value otherwise determined of the property that is the subject of the gift or monetary contribution is of the proceeds of disposition of the substantive gift;
if the substantive gift is capital property of the taxpayer, for the purpose of the definitions proceeds of disposition of property in subsection 13(21) and section 54, the sale price of the substantive gift is to be reduced by the amount by which the fair market value of the property that is the subject of the gift (determined without reference to this section) exceeds the fair market value determined under paragraph (a); and
if the substantive gift is eligible capital property of the taxpayer, the amount determined under paragraph (a) in the description of E in the definition cumulative eligible capital in subsection 14(5) in respect of the substantive gift is to be reduced by the amount by which the fair market value of the property that is the subject of the gift (determined without reference to this section) exceeds the fair market value determined under paragraph (a).
Subsection (30) does not apply in respect of a gift received by a qualified donee from a registered charity.
Notwithstanding subsection (31), the eligible amount of a gift or monetary contribution made by a taxpayer is nil if the taxpayer does not — before a receipt referred to in subsection 110.1(2), 118.1(2) or 127(3), as the case may be, is issued in respect of the gift or monetary contribution — inform the qualified donee or the recipient, as the case may be, of any circumstances in respect of which subsection (31), (35), (36), (38) or (39) requires that the eligible amount of the gift or monetary contribution be less than the fair market value, determined without reference to subsections (35), 110.1(3) and 118.1(6), of the property that is the subject of the gift or monetary contribution.
In this Act, except as expressly otherwise provided, a taxation year is
in the case of a corporation or Canadian resident partnership, a fiscal period;
in the case of an individual (other than a testamentary trust), a calendar year; and
in the case of a testamentary trust, the period for which the accounts of the trust are made up for purposes of assessment under this Act.
When a taxation year is referred to by reference to a calendar year, the reference is to the taxation year or taxation years that coincide with, or that end in, that calendar year.
For the purposes of this Act,
a reference to a taxation year ending in another year includes a reference to a taxation year ending coincidentally with that other year; and
a reference to a fiscal period ending in a taxation year includes a reference to a fiscal period ending coincidentally with that year.
If a fiscal period of a corporation exceeds 365 days and for that reason the corporation does not have a taxation year that ends in a particular calendar year, for the purposes of this Act,
the corporation’s first taxation year that would otherwise end in the immediately following calendar year is deemed to end on the last day of the particular calendar year and its next taxation year is deemed to commence on the first day of the immediately following calendar year; and
the corporation’s first fiscal period that would otherwise end in the immediately following calendar year is deemed to end on the last day of the particular calendar year and its next fiscal period is deemed to commence on the first day of the immediately following calendar year.
If at any time a corporation becomes or ceases to be a Canadian-controlled private corporation, otherwise than because of an acquisition of control to which subsection (4) would, if this Act were read without reference to this subsection, apply,
subject to paragraph (c), the corporation’s taxation year that would, if this Act were read without reference to this subsection, include that time is deemed to end immediately before that time;
a new taxation year of the corporation is deemed to begin at that time;
notwithstanding subsections (1) and (3), the corporation’s taxation year that would, if this Act were read without reference to this subsection, have been its last taxation year that ended before that time is deemed instead to end immediately before that time if
were this Act read without reference to this paragraph, that taxation year would, otherwise than because of paragraph 128(1)(d), section 128.1 and paragraphs 142.6(1)(a) or 149(10)(a), have ended within the 7-day period that ended immediately before that time,
within that 7-day period no person or group of persons acquired control of the corporation, and the corporation did not become or cease to be a Canadian-controlled private corporation, and
the corporation elects, in its return of income under Part I for that taxation year to have this paragraph apply; and
for the purpose of determining the corporation’s fiscal period after that time, the corporation is deemed not to have established a fiscal period before that time.
If at any time a taxpayer is subject to a loss restriction event (other than a foreign affiliate, of a taxpayer resident in Canada, that did not carry on a business in Canada at any time in its last taxation year that began before that time), then for the purposes of this Act,
subject to paragraph (b), the taxpayer’s taxation year that would, but for this paragraph, have included that time is deemed to end immediately before that time, a new taxation year of the taxpayer is deemed to begin at that time and, for the purpose of determining the taxpayer’s fiscal period after that time, the taxpayer is deemed not to have established a fiscal period before that time; and
subject to paragraph 128(1)(d), section 128.1 and paragraphs 142.6(1)(a) and 149(10)(a), and notwithstanding subsections (1) and (3), if the taxpayer’s taxation year that would, but for this subsection, have been its last taxation year that ended before that time, would, but for this paragraph, have ended within the seven-day period that ended immediately before that time, that taxation year is, except if the taxpayer is subject to a loss restriction event within that period, deemed to end immediately before that time, provided that the taxpayer so elects in its return of income under Part I for that taxation year.
The period for which the accounts of a testamentary trust are made up for the purposes of an assessment under this Act may not exceed 12 months, and no change in the time when such a period ends may be made for the purposes of this Act without the concurrence of the Minister.
If at a particular time after December 20, 2002 a transaction or event, described in any of paragraphs (b) to (d) of the definition testamentary trust in subsection 108(1), occurs and as a result of that occurrence a trust or estate is not a testamentary trust, the following rules apply:
in determining the fiscal period for a business or property of the trust or estate after the particular time, the trust or estate is deemed not to have established a fiscal period before that time.
a new taxation year of the trust or estate is deemed to have started at the particular time; and
the taxation year of the trust or estate that would, if this Act were read without reference to this subsection and those paragraphs, have included the particular time is deemed to have ended immediately before the particular time;
the fiscal period for a business or property of the trust or estate that would, if this Act were read without reference to this subsection and those paragraphs, have included the particular time is deemed to have ended immediately before the particular time;
For the purposes of this Act, a fiscal period of a business or a property of a person or partnership means the period for which the person’s or partnership’s accounts in respect of the business or property are made up for purposes of assessment under this Act, but no fiscal period may end
in the case of a corporation, more than 53 weeks after the period began,
in the case of
an individual (other than an individual to whom section 149 or 149.1 applies or a testamentary trust),
a fiscal period of an inter vivos trust (other than a fiscal period to which paragraph 132.11(1)(c) applies),
a partnership of which would, if the fiscal period ended at the end of the calendar year in which the period began, be a member of the partnership in the period, or
an individual (other than a testamentary trust or an individual to whom section 149 or 149.1 applies),
a professional corporation, or
a partnership to which this subparagraph applies,
a professional corporation that would, if the fiscal period ended at the end of the calendar year in which the period began, be in the period a member of a partnership to which subparagraph 249.1(1)(b)(ii) applies,
in the case of a partnership (other than a partnership to which subparagraph (b)(ii) or subsection (9) applies) that is a member of a partnership or has a member that is a partnership, after the end of the calendar year in which it began, if at the end of the calendar year
a corporation has a significant interest, as defined in section 34.2, in the partnership,
the partnership is a member of another partnership in which a corporation has a significant interest as defined in section 34.2,
a membership interest in the partnership is held directly, or indirectly through one or more partnerships, by a partnership described in subparagraph (i) or (ii), or
the partnership holds directly, or indirectly through one or more partnerships, a membership interest in a partnership described in any of subparagraphs (i) to (iii), or
in any other case, more than 12 months after the period began,
For the purpose of subparagraph 249.1(1)(b)(ii) and subsection 249.1(4), a person or partnership that would not have a share of any income or loss of a partnership for a fiscal period of the partnership, if the period ended at the end of the calendar year in which the period began, is deemed not to be a member of the partnership in that fiscal period.
Where a fiscal period of a business or a property of a person or partnership ends at any time, the subsequent fiscal period, if any, of the business or property of the person or partnership is deemed to begin immediately after that time.
Paragraph 249.1(1)(b) does not apply to a fiscal period of a business carried on, throughout the period of time that began at the beginning of the fiscal period and ended at the end of the calendar year in which the fiscal period began,
by an individual (otherwise than as a member of a partnership), or
by an individual as a member of a partnership, where throughout that period
each member of the partnership is an individual, and
the partnership is not a member of another partnership,
in the case of an individual
who is referred to in paragraph 249.1(4)(a), or
who is a member of a partnership no member of which is a testamentary trust,
in the case of an individual who is a member of a partnership a member of which is a testamentary trust, an election in prescribed form to have paragraph 249.1(1)(b) not apply is filed with the Minister by the individual on or before the earliest of the filing-due dates of the members of the partnership for a taxation year that includes the first day of the first fiscal period of the business that begins after 1994.
Subsection 249.1(4) does not apply to a particular fiscal period of a business where, in a preceding fiscal period or throughout the period of time that began at the beginning of the particular period and ended at the end of the calendar year in which the particular period began, the expenditures made in the course of carrying on the business were primarily the cost or capital cost of tax shelter investments (as defined in subsection 143.2(1)).
Subsection 249.1(4) does not apply to fiscal periods of a business carried on by an individual that begin after the beginning of a particular taxation year of the individual where
an election in prescribed form to revoke an election filed under subsection 249.1(4) in respect of the business is filed with the Minister; and
the election to revoke is filed
in the case of an individual
who is not a member of a partnership, or
who is a member of a partnership no member of which is a testamentary trust,
in case of an individual who is a member of a partnership a member of which is a testamentary trust, by the individual on or before the earliest of the filing-due dates of the members of the partnership for a taxation year that includes the first day of the first fiscal period of the business that begins after the beginning of the particular year.
No change in the time when a fiscal period ends may be made for the purposes of this Act without the concurrence of the Minister.
The members of a partnership that has a fiscal period that begins before March 22, 2011 and that would, if this Act were read without reference to this subsection and subsection (10), end on a day after March 22, 2011, may elect to end that fiscal period on a particular day that is before the day on which the fiscal period would otherwise end (in this subsection and subsection (10) referred to as a “single-tier alignment election”) if
each member of the partnership is, on the particular day, a corporation that is not a professional corporation;
the partnership is not, on the particular day, a member of another partnership;
at least one member of the partnership is, on the particular day, a corporation that has a significant interest, as defined in section 34.2, in the partnership;
at least one member of the partnership referred to in paragraph (c) has a taxation year that ends on a day that differs from the day on which the fiscal period of the partnership would end if this Act were read without reference to this subsection and subsection (10);
the particular day is after March 22, 2011 and no later than the latest day that is the last day of the first taxation year that ends after March 22, 2011 of any corporation that has been a member of the partnership continuously since March 21, 2011; and
subsection (10) applies to the single-tier alignment election.
The members of a partnership to which paragraph (1)(c) would apply if it were read without reference to this subsection may elect (in this subsection and subsections (10) and (11) referred to as a “multi-tier alignment election”) to end a fiscal period of the partnership on a particular day if
as a consequence of the multi-tier alignment election, the fiscal period of the partnership, and of each other partnership described in relation to the partnership by any of subparagraphs (1)(c)(ii) to (iv), ends on the particular day;
the particular day is before March 22, 2012; and
subsection (10) applies to the multi-tier alignment election.
This subsection applies to a single-tier alignment election or a multi-tier alignment election, as the case may be, for a partnership if
the election is filed in writing and in prescribed form with the Minister
in the case of a single-tier alignment election, by a corporation that is a member of the partnership on or before the day that is the earliest filing-due date of any corporation that is a member of the partnership for its first taxation year ending after March 22, 2011, and
in the case of a multi-tier alignment election,
by a corporation that is a member of the partnership, or of a partnership described in relation to the partnership by any of subparagraphs (1)(c)(ii) to (iv), and
on or before the day that is the earliest filing-due date of any corporation that is a member of a partnership referred to in clause (A) for the first taxation year of the corporation ending after March 22, 2011;
as a consequence of the election, the fiscal period of each partnership to which the election applies is 12 months or less;
the election was made by a corporation that has the authority to act for the members of the partnership and each member of any other partnership described in relation to the partnership in subparagraph (1)(c)(ii) to (iv); and
no other election is filed with the Minister to end the fiscal period of the partnership, or of any other partnership described in relation to the partnership in subparagraph (1)(c)(ii) to (iv), on a day other than the particular day referred to in subsection (8) or (9), as the case may be.
For the purposes of this Act, if paragraph (1)(c) applies to end the fiscal period of a partnership on December 31, 2011, a multi-tier alignment election under subsection (9) is deemed to have been made to end the fiscal period of the partnership on December 31, 2011.
For the purposes of this Act, a person shall, subject to subsection 250(2), be deemed to have been resident in Canada throughout a taxation year if the person

was, at any time in the year, a member of the Canadian Forces;
was, at any time in the year,
an ambassador, minister, high commissioner, officer or servant of Canada, or

was, at any time in the year, a member of the overseas Canadian Forces school staff who filed his or her return for the year on the basis that the person was resident in Canada throughout the period during which the person was such a member;
[Repealed, 1999, c. 22, s. 82(1)]
was at any time in the year a child of, and dependent for support on, an individual to whom paragraph (b), (c), (d) or (d.1) applies and the person’s income for the year did not exceed the amount used under paragraph (c) of the description of B in subsection 118(1) for the year;
was at any time in the year, under an agreement or a convention with one or more other countries that has the force of law in Canada, entitled to an exemption from an income tax otherwise payable in any of those countries in respect of income from any source (unless all or substantially all of the person’s income from all sources was not so exempt), because at that time the person was related to or a member of the family of an individual (other than a trust) who was resident in Canada.
Where at any time in a taxation year a person described in paragraph (1)b), (c) or (d) ceases to be a person so described, or a person described in paragraph (1)(d.1) ceases to be a member of the overseas Canadian Forces school staff, that person shall be deemed to have been resident in Canada throughout the part of the year preceding that time and the spouse or common-law partner and child of that person who by reason of paragraph (1)(e) or (f) would, but for this subsection, be deemed to have been resident in Canada throughout the year shall be deemed to have been resident in Canada throughout that part of the year.
In this Act, a reference to a person resident in Canada includes a person who was at the relevant time ordinarily resident in Canada.
For the purposes of this Act, a corporation shall be deemed to have been resident in Canada throughout a taxation year if
in the case of a corporation incorporated after April 26, 1965, it was incorporated in Canada;
in the case of a corporation that
was incorporated before April 9, 1959,
was, on June 18, 1971, a foreign business corporation (within the meaning of section 71 of the Income Tax Act, chapter 148 of the Revised Statutes of Canada, 1952, as it read in its application to the 1971 taxation year) that was controlled by a corporation resident in Canada,
throughout the 10 year period ending on June 18, 1971, carried on business in any one particular country other than Canada, and
during the period referred to in subparagraph 250(4)(b)(iii), paid dividends to its shareholders resident in Canada on which its shareholders paid tax to the government of the country referred to in that subparagraph,
in the case of a corporation incorporated before April 27, 1965 (other than a corporation to which subparagraphs 250(4)(b)(i) to 250(4)(b)(iv) apply), it was incorporated in Canada and, at any time in the taxation year or at any time in any preceding taxation year of the corporation ending after April 26, 1965, it was resident in Canada or carried on business in Canada.
Notwithstanding any other provision of this Act (other than paragraph 126(1.1)(a)), a person is deemed not to be resident in Canada at a time if, at that time, the person would, but for this subsection and any tax treaty, be resident in Canada for the purposes of this Act but is, under a tax treaty with another country, resident in the other country and not resident in Canada.
Where a corporation is at any time (in this subsection referred to as the “time of continuation”) granted articles of continuance (or similar constitutional documents) in a particular jurisdiction, the corporation shall
for the purposes of applying this Act (other than subsection 250(4)) in respect of all times from the time of continuation until the time, if any, of continuation in a different jurisdiction, be deemed to have been incorporated in the particular jurisdiction and not to have been incorporated in any other jurisdiction; and
for the purpose of applying subsection 250(4) in respect of all times from the time of continuation until the time, if any, of continuation in a different jurisdiction, be deemed to have been incorporated in the particular jurisdiction at the time of continuation and not to have been incorporated in any other jurisdiction.
For the purposes of this Act, a corporation that was incorporated or otherwise formed under the laws of a country other than Canada or of a state, province or other political subdivision of such a country shall be deemed to be resident in that country throughout a taxation year and not to be resident in Canada at any time in the year, where
the corporation
has as its principal business in the year the operation of ships that are used primarily in transporting passengers or goods in international traffic (determined on the assumption that the corporation is non-resident and that, except where paragraph (c) of the definition international traffic in subsection 248(1) applies, any port or other place on the Great Lakes or St. Lawrence River is in Canada), or
holds throughout the year shares of one or more other corporations, each of which and at no time in the year is the total of the cost amounts to the corporation of all those shares less than 50% of the total of the cost amounts to it of all its property;
is deemed by this subsection to be resident in a country other than Canada throughout the year,
is a subsidiary wholly-owned corporation of the corporation as defined by subsection 87(1.4), and
all or substantially all of the corporation’s gross revenue for the year consists of
gross revenue from the operation of ships in transporting passengers or goods in that international traffic,
dividends from one or more other corporations each of which
is deemed by this subsection to be resident in a country other than Canada throughout each of its taxation years that began after February 1991 and before the last time at which it paid any of those dividends, or
is a subsidiary wholly-owned corporation of the corporation, as defined by subsection 87(1.4), and
a combination of amounts described in subparagraph 250(6)(b)(i) or 250(6)(b)(ii); and
the corporation was not granted articles of continuance in Canada before the end of the year.
For the purposes of provisions of this Act that apply to a trust for a taxation year only where the trust has been resident in Canada throughout the year, where a particular trust ceases at any time to exist and the particular trust was resident in Canada immediately before that time, the particular trust is deemed to be resident in Canada throughout the period that begins at that time and ends at the end of the year.
[Repealed, 2011, c. 24, s. 74]
For greater certainty, unless the context requires otherwise
a taxation year of a non-resident person shall be determined, except as otherwise permitted by the Minister, in the same manner as the taxation year of a person resident in Canada; and
a person for whom income for a taxation year is determined in accordance with this Act includes a non-resident person.
For the purposes of this Act,
related persons shall be deemed not to deal with each other at arm’s length;
a taxpayer and a personal trust (other than a trust described in any of paragraphs (a) to (e.1) of the definition trust in subsection 108(1)) are deemed not to deal with each other at arm’s length if the taxpayer, or any person not dealing at arm’s length with the taxpayer, would be beneficially interested in the trust if subsection 248(25) were read without reference to subclauses 248(25)(b)(iii)(A)(II) to (IV); and
in any other case, it is a question of fact whether persons not related to each other are, at a particular time, dealing with each other at arm’s length.
For the purpose of this Act, related persons, or persons related to each other, are
individuals connected by blood relationship, marriage or common-law partnership or adoption;
a corporation and
a person who controls the corporation, if it is controlled by one person,

if one of the corporations is controlled by one person and that person is related to each member of an unrelated group that controls the other corporation,
if any member of a related group that controls one of the corporations is related to each member of an unrelated group that controls the other corporation, or
if each member of an unrelated group that controls one of the corporations is related to at least one member of an unrelated group that controls the other corporation.
Where two corporations are related to the same corporation within the meaning of subsection 251(2), they shall, for the purposes of subsections 251(1) and 251(2), be deemed to be related to each other.
Where there has been an amalgamation or merger of two or more corporations and the new corporation formed as a result of the amalgamation or merger and any predecessor corporation would have been related immediately before the amalgamation or merger if the new corporation were in existence at that time, and if the persons who were the shareholders of the new corporation immediately after the amalgamation or merger were the shareholders of the new corporation at that time, the new corporation and any such predecessor corporation shall be deemed to have been related persons.
Where there has been an amalgamation or merger of 2 or more corporations each of which was related (otherwise than because of a right referred to in paragraph 251(5)(b)) to each other immediately before the amalgamation or merger, the new corporation formed as a result of the amalgamation or merger and each of the predecessor corporations is deemed to have been related to each other.
In this Act,
For the purposes of subsection 251(2) and the definition Canadian-controlled private corporation in subsection 125(7),
where a related group is in a position to control a corporation, it shall be deemed to be a related group that controls the corporation whether or not it is part of a larger group by which the corporation is in fact controlled;
where at any time a person has a right under a contract, in equity or otherwise, either immediately or in the future and either absolutely or contingently,
to, or to acquire, shares of the capital stock of a corporation or to control the voting rights of such shares, the person shall, except where the right is not exercisable at that time because the exercise thereof is contingent on the death, bankruptcy or permanent disability of an individual, be deemed to have the same position in relation to the control of the corporation as if the person owned the shares at that time,
to cause a corporation to redeem, acquire or cancel any shares of its capital stock owned by other shareholders of the corporation, the person shall, except where the right is not exercisable at that time because the exercise thereof is contingent on the death, bankruptcy or permanent disability of an individual, be deemed to have the same position in relation to the control of the corporation as if the shares were so redeemed, acquired or cancelled by the corporation at that time;
to, or to acquire or control, voting rights in respect of shares of the capital stock of a corporation, the person is, except where the right is not exercisable at that time because its exercise is contingent on the death, bankruptcy or permanent disability of an individual, deemed to have the same position in relation to the control of the corporation as if the person could exercise the voting rights at that time, or
to cause the reduction of voting rights in respect of shares, owned by other shareholders, of the capital stock of a corporation, the person is, except where the right is not exercisable at that time because its exercise is contingent on the death, bankruptcy or permanent disability of an individual, deemed to have the same position in relation to the control of the corporation as if the voting rights were so reduced at that time; and
where a person owns shares in two or more corporations, the person shall as shareholder of one of the corporations be deemed to be related to himself, herself or itself as shareholder of each of the other corporations.

each corporation is controlled by a group of persons, and each member of each group is affiliated with at least one member of the other group;

Where at any time 2 or more corporations (in this subsection referred to as the “predecessors”) amalgamate or merge to form a new corporation, the new corporation and any predecessor are deemed to have been affiliated with each other where they would have been affiliated with each other immediately before that time if
the new corporation had existed immediately before that time; and
the persons who were the shareholders of the new corporation immediately after that time had been the shareholders of the new corporation immediately before that time.
The definitions in this subsection apply in this section.
affiliated group of persons means a group of persons each member of which is affiliated with every other member. (groupe de personnes affiliées)
beneficiary, under a trust, includes a person beneficially interested in the trust. (bénéficiaire)
contributor, to a trust, means a person who has at any time made a loan or transfer of property, either directly or indirectly, in any manner whatever, to or for the benefit of the trust other than, if the person deals at arm’s length with the trust at that time and is not immediately after that time a majority-interest beneficiary of the trust,
a loan made at a reasonable rate of interest; or
a transfer made for fair market value consideration. (cotisant)
controlled means controlled, directly or indirectly in any manner whatever. (contrôlé)
majority-interest beneficiary, of a trust at any time, means a person whose interest as a beneficiary, if any, at that time

in the capital of the trust has, together with the interests as a beneficiary in the capital of the trust of all persons with whom the person is affiliated, a fair market value that is greater than 50% of the fair market value of all the interests as a beneficiary in the capital of the trust. (bénéficiaire détenant une participation majoritaire)
majority-interest group of beneficiaries, of a trust at any time, means a group of persons each of whom is a beneficiary under the trust at that time such that
if one person held the interests as a beneficiary of all of the members of the group, that person would be a majority-interest beneficiary of the trust; and

For the purposes of this section,
persons are affiliated with themselves;

notwithstanding subsection 104(1), a reference to a trust does not include a reference to the trustee or other persons who own or control the trust property; and
in determining whether a person is affiliated with a trust,
if the amount of income or capital of the trust that a person may receive as a beneficiary under the trust depends on the exercise by any person of, or the failure by any person to exercise, a discretionary power, that person is deemed to have fully exercised, or to have failed to exercise, the power, as the case may be,
the interest of a person in a trust as a beneficiary is disregarded in determining whether the person deals at arm’s length with the trust if the person would, in the absence of the interest as a beneficiary, be considered to deal at arm’s length with the trust,
a trust is not a majority interest beneficiary of another trust unless the trust has an interest as a beneficiary in the income or capital, as the case may be, of the other trust, and
in determining whether a contributor to one trust is affiliated with a contributor to another trust, individuals connected by blood relationship, marriage, common-law partnership or adoption are deemed to be affiliated with one another.

subsidiary, of a particular person at any time, means a corporation, partnership or trust (in this definition referred to as the “subject entity”) where
the particular person holds at that time property
that is equity of the subject entity, or

the total of the following amounts is at that time equal to more than 50% of the equity value of the subject entity:
each amount that is the fair market value at that time of equity of the subject entity that is held at that time by the particular person or a person with whom the particular person is affiliated, and
each amount (other than an amount described in subparagraph (i)) that is the portion of the fair market value at that time — derived directly or indirectly from equity of the subject entity — of a property that is held at that time by the particular person or a person with whom the particular person is affiliated.
For the purposes of this Act, a taxpayer is at any time subject to a loss restriction event if
the taxpayer is a corporation and at that time control of the corporation is acquired by a person or group of persons; or
the taxpayer is a trust and
that time is after March 20, 2013 and after the time at which the trust is created, and
at that time a person becomes a majority-interest beneficiary, or a group of persons becomes a majority-interest group of beneficiaries, of the trust.
For the purposes of paragraph (2)(b), a person is deemed not to become a majority-interest beneficiary, and a group of persons is deemed not to become a majority-interest group of beneficiaries, as the case may be, of a particular trust solely because of
the acquisition of equity of the particular trust by
a particular person from another person with whom the particular person was affiliated immediately before the acquisition,
a particular person who was affiliated with the particular trust immediately before the acquisition,
an estate from an individual, if the estate arose on and as a consequence of the death of the individual and the estate acquired the equity from the individual as a consequence of the death, or
a particular person from an estate that arose on and as a consequence of the death of an individual, if the estate acquired the equity from the individual as a consequence of the death and the individual was affiliated with the particular person immediately before the death;

that time, or
in the case of the redemption or surrender of equity of the particular trust that was held, immediately before that time, by an estate and that was acquired by the estate from an individual as described in subparagraph (a)(iii), the individual’s death;
the transfer at any time of all the equity of the particular trust to a corporation, partnership or another trust (in this paragraph referred to as the “acquirer”), if
the only consideration for the transfer is equity (determined without reference to paragraph (d) of the definition equity in subsection 122.1(1)) of the acquirer,
at all times before that time the acquirer held no property or held only property having a nominal value, and
immediately after that time the acquirer is neither
a subsidiary of any person, nor
a corporation controlled, directly or indirectly in any manner whatever, by a person or group of persons;
the transfer at any time of equity of the particular trust to a corporation, partnership or another trust (in this paragraph referred to as the “acquirer”), if
immediately before that time a person was a majority-interest beneficiary, or a group of persons was a majority-interest group of beneficiaries, of the particular trust,
immediately after that time the person, or group of persons, as the case may be, described in subparagraph (i) in respect of the particular trust, and no other person or group of persons, is
if the acquirer is a corporation, a person by whom, or a group of persons by which, the corporation is controlled directly or indirectly in any manner whatever,
if the acquirer is a partnership, a majority-interest partner, or a majority-interest group of partners, of the partnership, and
if the acquirer is a trust, a majority-interest beneficiary, or a majority-interest group of beneficiaries, of the trust, and
at no time during a series of transactions or events that includes the transfer does the person or group of persons, as the case may be, described in subparagraph (i) in respect of the particular trust, cease to be a person or group of persons described in any of clauses (ii)(A) to (C) in respect of the acquirer; or
a transaction (other than a transaction one or more of the parties to which may be excused from completing as a result of changes to this Act) the parties to which are obligated to complete under the terms of an agreement in writing between the parties entered into before March 21, 2013.
For the purposes of paragraph (2)(b) and subject to subsection (3), a person is deemed to become at a particular time a majority-interest beneficiary of a particular trust if
a particular person is at and immediately before the particular time a majority-interest beneficiary, or a member of a majority-interest group of beneficiaries, of the particular trust, and the particular person is at the particular time, but is not immediately before the particular time, a subsidiary of another person (in this paragraph referred to as the “acquirer”), unless
the acquirer is immediately before the particular time affiliated with the particular trust, or
this paragraph previously applied to deem a person to become a majority-interest beneficiary of the particular trust because the particular person became, as part of a series of transactions or events that includes the particular person becoming at the particular time a subsidiary of the acquirer, a subsidiary of another person that is at the particular time a subsidiary of the acquirer; or
at the particular time, as part of a series of transactions or events, two or more persons acquire equity of the particular trust in exchange for or upon a redemption or surrender of equity of, or as a consequence of a distribution from, a corporation, partnership or another trust, unless
a person affiliated with the corporation, partnership or other trust was immediately before the particular time a majority-interest beneficiary of the particular trust,
if all the equity of the particular trust that was acquired at or before the particular time as part of the series were acquired by one person, the person would not at the particular time be a majority-interest beneficiary of the particular trust, or
this paragraph previously applied to deem a person to become a majority-interest beneficiary of the particular trust because of an acquisition of equity of the particular trust that was part of the series.
For the purposes of this section,
in determining whether persons are affiliated with each other
except for the purposes of paragraph (b) of the definition subsidiary in subsection (1), section 251.1 is to be read without reference to the definition controlled in subsection 251.1(3),
in determining whether an individual (other than a trust) is affiliated with another individual (other than a trust), individuals connected by blood relationship, marriage or common-law partnership or adoption are deemed to be affiliated with one another, and
if, at any time as part of a series of transactions or events a person acquires equity of a corporation, partnership or trust, and it can reasonably be concluded that one of the reasons for the acquisition, or for making any agreement or undertaking in respect of the acquisition, is to cause a condition in paragraph (3)(a) or (b) or subparagraph (4)(a)(i) or (b)(i) regarding affiliation to be satisfied at a particular time, the condition is deemed not to be satisfied at the particular time; and
in determining whether a particular person becomes at any time a majority-interest beneficiary, or a particular group of persons becomes at any time a majority-interest group of beneficiaries, of a trust, the fair market value of each person’s equity of the trust is to be determined at and immediately before that time
without reference to the portion of that fair market value that is attributable to property acquired if it can reasonably be concluded that one of the reasons for the acquisition is to cause paragraph (2)(b), or any provision that applies by reference to a trust being subject to a loss restriction event at any time, not to apply,
without reference to the portion of that fair market value that is attributable to a change in the fair market value of all or part of any equity of the trust if it can reasonably be concluded that one of the reasons for the change is to cause paragraph (2)(b), or any provision that applies by reference to a trust being subject to a loss restriction event at any time, not to apply, and
as if each specified right held immediately before that time by the particular person, or by a member of the particular group, in respect of the trust is at that time exercised if it can reasonably be concluded that one of the reasons for the acquisition of the right is to cause paragraph (2)(b), or any provision that applies by reference to a trust being subject to a loss restriction event at any time, not to apply.
For the purposes of this Act, if a trust is subject to a loss restriction event at a particular time during a day, the trust is deemed to be subject to the loss restriction event at the beginning of that day and not at the particular time unless the trust elects in its return of income under Part I filed for its taxation year that ends immediately before the loss restriction event to have this subsection not apply.

Where two corporations
would, but for this subsection, not be associated with each other at any time, and
are associated, or are deemed by this subsection to be associated, with the same corporation (in this subsection referred to as the “third corporation”) at that time,
For the purposes of this Act, where, in the case of two or more corporations, it may reasonably be considered that one of the main reasons for the separate existence of those corporations in a taxation year is to reduce the amount of taxes that would otherwise be payable under this Act or to increase the amount of refundable investment tax credit under section 127.1, the two or more corporations shall be deemed to be associated with each other in the year.
Where one corporation (in this subsection referred to as the “controlled corporation”) would, but for this subsection, be associated with another corporation in a taxation year by reason of being controlled, directly or indirectly in any manner whatever, by the other corporation or by reason of both of the corporations being controlled, directly or indirectly in any manner whatever, by the same person at a particular time in the year (which corporation or person so controlling the controlled corporation is in this subsection referred to as the “controller”) and it is established to the satisfaction of the Minister that
there was in effect at the particular time an agreement or arrangement enforceable according to the terms thereof, under which, on the satisfaction of a condition or the happening of an event that it is reasonable to expect will be satisfied or happen, the controlled corporation will
cease to be controlled, directly or indirectly in any manner whatever, by the controller, and
be or become controlled, directly or indirectly in any manner whatever, by a person or group of persons, with whom or with each of the members of which, as the case may be, the controller was at the particular time dealing at arm’s length, and

any indebtedness owing to the controller the whole or any part of the principal amount of which was outstanding at the particular time, or
any shares of the capital stock of the controlled corporation that were owned by the controller at the particular time and that were, under the agreement or arrangement, to be redeemed by the controlled corporation or purchased by the person or group of persons referred to in subparagraph 256(3)(a)(ii),

that the estate or trust under which the executor, liquidator or trustee acquired control of each of the corporations arose only on the death of the individual creating the estate or trust,
Where one corporation would, but for this subsection, be associated with another corporation in a taxation year, by reason only that the other corporation is a trustee under a trust pursuant to which the corporation is controlled, the two corporations shall be deemed, for the purposes of this Act, not to be associated with each other in the year unless, at any time in the year, a settlor of the trust controlled or is a member of a related group that controlled the other corporation that is the trustee under the trust.

For the purposes of this Act, where a corporation (in this subsection referred to as the “controlled corporation”) would, but for this subsection, be regarded as having been controlled or controlled, directly or indirectly in any manner whatever, by a person or partnership (in this subsection referred to as the “controller”) at a particular time and it is established that
there was in effect at the particular time an agreement or arrangement enforceable according to the terms thereof, under which, on the satisfaction of a condition or the happening of an event that it is reasonable to expect will be satisfied or happen, the controlled corporation will
cease to be controlled, or controlled, directly or indirectly in any manner whatever, as the case may be, by the controller, and
be or become controlled, or controlled, directly or indirectly in any manner whatever, as the case may be, by a person or group of persons, with whom or with each of the members of which, as the case may be, the controller was at the particular time dealing at arm’s length, and

any indebtedness owing to the controller the whole or any part of the principal amount of which was outstanding at the particular time, or
any shares of the capital stock of the controlled corporation that were owned by the controller at the particular time and that were, under the agreement or arrangement, to be redeemed by the controlled corporation or purchased by the person or group of persons referred to in subparagraph 256(6)(a)(ii),

the parent, and
any person or group of persons by whom the parent is controlled; and
where a corporation (in this paragraph referred to as the “subject corporation”) would be controlled by a group of persons (in this paragraph referred to as the “first-tier group”) if no corporation that is a member of the first-tier group were controlled by any person or group of persons, the subject corporation is controlled by
the first-tier group, and
any group of one or more persons comprised of, in respect of every member of the first-tier group, either the member, or a person or group of persons by whom the member is controlled.
In its application to subsection (5.1), subsection (6.1) shall be read as if the references in subsection (6.1) to “controlled” were references to “controlled, directly or indirectly in any manner whatever,”.

immediately before the particular time, or
immediately before the death of a person, where the shares were held immediately before the particular time by an estate that acquired the shares because of the person’s death, or
the acquisition at any time of shares of the particular corporation if
the acquisition of those shares would otherwise result in the acquisition of control of the particular corporation at that time by a related group of persons, and

where at any time 2 or more corporations (each of which is referred to in this paragraph as a “predecessor corporation”) have amalgamated to form one corporate entity (in this paragraph referred to as the “new corporation”),
control of a corporation is deemed not to have been acquired by any person or group of persons solely because of the amalgamation unless it is deemed by subparagraph 256(7)(b)(ii) or 256(7)(b)(iii) to have been so acquired,
a person or group of persons that controls the new corporation immediately after the amalgamation and did not control a predecessor corporation immediately before the amalgamation is deemed to have acquired immediately before the amalgamation control of the predecessor corporation and of each corporation it controlled immediately before the amalgamation (unless the person or group of persons would not have acquired control of the predecessor corporation if the person or group of persons had acquired all the shares of the predecessor corporation immediately before the amalgamation), and

unless this subparagraph would, but for this clause, deem control of each predecessor corporation to have been acquired on the amalgamation where the amalgamation is an amalgamation of
two corporations, or
two corporations (in this subclause referred to as the “parents”) and one or more other corporations (each of which is in this subclause referred to as a “subsidiary”) that would, if all the shares of each subsidiary’s capital stock that were held immediately before the amalgamation by the parents had been held by one person, have been controlled by that person;
subject to paragraph 256(7)(a), where 2 or more persons (in this paragraph referred to as the “transferors”) dispose of shares of the capital stock of a particular corporation in exchange for shares of the capital stock of another corporation (in this paragraph referred to as the “acquiring corporation”), control of the acquiring corporation and of each corporation controlled by it immediately before the exchange is deemed to have been acquired at the time of the exchange by a person or group of persons unless
the particular corporation and the acquiring corporation were related (otherwise than because of a right referred to in paragraph 251(5)(b)) to each other immediately before the exchange, or
if all the shares of the acquiring corporation’s capital stock that were acquired by the transferors on the exchange were acquired at the time of the exchange by one person, the person would not control the acquiring corporation;
subject to paragraph (a), if, at any particular time, as part of a series of transactions or events, two or more persons acquire shares of a corporation (in this paragraph referred to as the “acquiring corporation”) in exchange for or upon a redemption or surrender of interests in, or as a consequence of a distribution from, a SIFT trust (determined without reference to subsection 122.1(2)), SIFT partnership (determined without reference to subsection 197(8)) or real estate investment trust (as defined in subsection 122.1(1)), control of the acquiring corporation and of each corporation controlled by it immediately before the particular time is deemed to have been acquired by a person or group of persons at the particular time unless

begins on the latest of July 14, 2008, the date the particular corporation came into existence and the time of the last acquisition of control, if any, of the particular corporation by a relevant person, and
ends immediately before the particular time,

not at the particular time control the acquiring corporation, and
have at the particular time acquired securities of the acquiring corporation having a fair market value of not more than 50% of the fair market value of all the issued and outstanding shares of the acquiring corporation, or

controlled the particular corporation immediately before that time, and
did not, as part of the series of transactions or events that includes the disposition, cease to control the acquiring corporation,
control of a particular corporation and of each corporation controlled by it immediately before a particular time is deemed not to have been acquired at the particular time by a corporation (in this paragraph referred to as the “acquiring corporation”) if at the particular time, the acquiring corporation acquires shares of the particular corporation’s capital stock for consideration that consists solely of shares of the acquiring corporation’s capital stock, and if
immediately after the particular time

the acquiring corporation is not controlled by any person or group of persons, and
the fair market value of the shares of the particular corporation’s capital stock that are owned by the acquiring corporation is not less than 95% of the fair market value of all of the assets of the acquiring corporation, or
any of clauses (i)(A) to (C) do not apply and the acquisition occurs as part of a plan of arrangement that, on completion, results in
the acquiring corporation (or a new corporation that is formed on an amalgamation of the acquiring corporation and a subsidiary wholly-owned corporation of the acquiring corporation) owning all the shares of each class of the particular corporation’s capital stock (determined without reference to shares of a specified class, within the meaning assigned by paragraph 88(1)(c.8)),
the acquiring corporation (or the new corporation) not being controlled by any person or group of persons, and
the fair market value of the shares of the particular corporation’s capital stock that are owned by the acquiring corporation (or the new corporation) being not less than 95% of the fair market value of all of the assets of the acquiring corporation (or the new corporation);
if a particular trust is the only beneficiary of another trust, the particular trust is described in paragraph (c) of the definition SIFT trust wind-up event, the particular trust would, in the absence of this paragraph, acquire control of a corporation solely because of a SIFT trust wind-up event that is a distribution of shares of the capital stock of the corporation by the other trust, and the other trust controlled the corporation immediately before the distribution, the particular trust is deemed not to acquire control of the corporation because of the distribution;
a corporation (in this paragraph referred to as the “acquiring corporation”) that acquires shares of another corporation on a distribution that is a SIFT trust wind-up event of a SIFT wind-up entity is deemed not to acquire control of the other corporation because of that acquisition if the following conditions are met:
the SIFT wind-up entity is a trust whose only beneficiary immediately before the distribution is the acquiring corporation,
the SIFT wind-up entity controlled the other corporation immediately before the distribution,
as part of a series of transactions or events under which the acquiring corporation became the only beneficiary under the trust, two or more persons acquired shares in the acquiring corporation in exchange for their interests as beneficiaries under the trust, and
if all the shares described in subparagraph (iii) had been acquired by one person, the person would
control the acquiring corporation, and
have acquired shares of the acquiring corporation having a fair market value of more than 50% of the fair market value of all the issued and outstanding shares of the acquiring corporation;
if at any time after September 12, 2013 a trust is subject to a loss restriction event and immediately before that time the trust, or a group of persons a member of which is the trust, controls a corporation, control of the corporation and of each corporation controlled by it immediately before that time is deemed to have been acquired at that time by a person or group of persons; and
if at any time after September 12, 2013 a trust controls a corporation, control of the corporation is deemed not to be acquired solely because of a change in the trustee or legal representative having ownership or control of the trust’s property if
the change is not part of a series of transactions or events that includes a change in the beneficial ownership of the trust’s property, and
no amount of income or capital of the trust to be distributed, at any time at or after the change, in respect of any interest in the trust depends upon the exercise by any person or partnership, or the failure of any person or partnership, to exercise any discretionary power.
Where at any time a taxpayer acquires a right referred to in paragraph 251(5)(b) in respect of a share and it can reasonably be concluded that one of the main purposes of the acquisition is
to avoid any limitation on the deductibility of any non-capital loss, net capital loss, farm loss or any expense or other amount referred to in subsection 66(11), 66.5(3) or 66.7(10) or 66.7(11),
to avoid the application of subsection 10(10) or 13(24), paragraph 37(1)(h) or subsection 55(2) or 66(11.4) or (11.5), paragraph 88(1)(c.3) or subsection 111(4), (5.1), (5.2) or (5.3), 181.1(7), 190.1(6) or 251.2(2),
to avoid the application of paragraph (j) or (k) of the definition investment tax credit in subsection 127(9),
to avoid the application of section 251.1, or
to affect the application of section 80,
For the purposes of subsections 256(7) and 256(8),
a corporation incorporated without share capital is deemed to have a capital stock of a single class;
each member, policyholder and other participant in the corporation is deemed to be a shareholder of the corporation; and
the membership, policy or other interest in the corporation of each of those participants is deemed to be the number of shares of the corporation’s capital stock that the Minister considers reasonable in the circumstances, having regard to the total number of participants in the corporation and the nature of their participation.
For the purposes of this Act, other than for the purposes of determining if a corporation is, at any time, a small business corporation or a Canadian-controlled private corporation, where control of a corporation is acquired by a person or group of persons at a particular time on a day, control of the corporation shall be deemed to have been acquired by the person or group of persons, as the case may be, at the beginning of that day and not at the particular time unless the corporation elects in its return of income under Part I filed for its taxation year that ends immediately before the acquisition of control not to have this subsection apply.
The following definitions apply in this section.
attribute trading restriction means a restriction on the use of a tax attribute arising on the application, either alone or in combination with other provisions, of any of this section, subsections 10(10) and 13(24), section 37, subsections 66(11.4) and (11.5), 66.7(10) and (11), 69(11) and 88(1.1) and (1.2), sections 111 and 127 and subsections 181.1(7), 190.1(6), 249(4) and 256(7).

specified provision means any of subsections 10(10) and 13(24), paragraph 37(1)(h), subsections 66(11.4) and (11.5), 66.7(10) and (11), 69(11) and 111(4), (5), (5.1), (5.2) and (5.3), paragraphs (j) and (k) of the definition investment tax credit in subsection 127(9), subsections 181.1(7) and 190.1(6) and any provision of similar effect.
Subsection (3) applies at a particular time in respect of a corporation if
shares of the capital stock of the corporation held by a person, or the total of all shares of the capital stock of the corporation held by members of a group of persons, as the case may be, have at the particular time a fair market value that exceeds 75% of the fair market value of all the shares of the capital stock of the corporation;
shares, if any, of the capital stock of the corporation held by the person, or the total of all shares, if any, of the capital stock of the corporation held by members of the group, have immediately before the particular time a fair market value that does not exceed 75% of the fair market value of all the shares of the capital stock of the corporation;
the person or group does not control the corporation at the particular time; and
it is reasonable to conclude that one of the main reasons that the person or group does not control the corporation is to avoid the application of one or more specified provisions.
If this subsection applies at a particular time in respect of a corporation, then for the purposes of the attribute trading restrictions,
the person or group referred to in subsection (2)
is deemed to acquire control of the corporation, and each corporation controlled by the corporation, at the particular time, and
is not deemed to have control of the corporation, and each corporation controlled by the corporation, at any time after the particular time solely because this paragraph applied at the particular time; and
during the period that the condition in paragraph (2)(a) is satisfied, each corporation referred to in paragraph (a) — and any corporation incorporated or otherwise formed subsequent to that time and controlled by that corporation — is deemed not to be related to, or affiliated with, any person to which it was related to, or affiliated with, immediately before paragraph (a) applies.
For the purpose of applying paragraph (2)(a) in respect of a person or group of persons,
if it is reasonable to conclude that one of the reasons that one or more transactions or events occur is to cause a person or group of persons not to hold shares having a fair market value that exceeds 75% of the fair market value of all the shares of the capital stock of a corporation, the paragraph is to be applied without reference to those transactions or events; and
the person, or each member of the group, is deemed to have exercised each right that is held by the person or a member of the group and that is referred to in paragraph 251(5)(b) in respect of a share of the corporation referred to in paragraph (2)(a).
For the purposes of subsections (2) to (4), if the fair market value of the shares of the capital stock of a corporation is nil at any time, then for the purpose of determining the fair market value of those shares, the corporation is deemed, at that time, to have assets net of liabilities equal to $100,000 and to have $100,000 of income for the taxation year that includes that time.
If, at any time as part of a transaction or event or series of transactions or events, control of a particular corporation is acquired by a person or group of persons and it can reasonably be concluded that one of the main reasons for the acquisition of control is so that a specified provision does not apply to one or more corporations, the attribute trading restrictions are deemed to apply to each of those corporations as if control of each of those corporations were acquired at that time.
Except as specifically otherwise provided, where an amount or a number is required under this Act to be determined or calculated by or in accordance with an algebraic formula, if the amount or number when so determined or calculated would, but for this section, be a negative amount or number, it shall be deemed to be nil.

shall, for the purposes of subsections 112(2.1) and 138(6), be deemed to be a dividend received on a term preferred share.

a term preferred share by a specified financial institution resident in Canada from a corporation not resident in Canada, or
any other share that
is a grandfathered share, or
was issued before 8:00 p.m. Eastern Daylight Saving Time, June 18, 1987 and is not deemed by subsection 112(2.22) to have been issued after that time
by a corporation from a corporation not resident in Canada, if the dividend would have been a dividend in respect of which no deduction could have been made under subsection 112(1) or 112(2) or 138(6) because of subsection 112(2.2) of the Income Tax Act, chapter 148 of the Revised Statutes of Canada, 1952, as it read on June 17, 1987, if the corporation that paid the dividend were a taxable Canadian corporation
shall be deemed to be interest received in the year and not a dividend received on a share of the capital stock of a corporation.
Subsection (3) does not apply to a dividend described in paragraph (3)(a)
if the share on which the dividend was paid was not acquired in the ordinary course of the business carried on by the corporation; or
to the extent that the dividend would be described by subparagraph 53(2)(b)(ii) if the corporation not resident in Canada were not a foreign affiliate of the corporation.

Subsection (5) does not apply to a dividend described in that subsection to the extent that the dividend would be described by subparagraph 53(2)(b)(ii) if the corporation not resident in Canada were not a foreign affiliate of the recipient.

the borrower is obligated to pay to the lender amounts equal to and as compensation for all amounts, if any, paid on the security that would have been received by the borrower if the borrower had held the security throughout the period that begins after the particular time and that ends at the time an identical security is transferred or returned to the lender,
the lender’s risk of loss or opportunity for gain or profit with respect to the security is not changed in any material respect, and
if the lender and the borrower do not deal with each other at arm’s length, it is intended that neither the arrangement nor any series of securities lending arrangements, loans or other transactions of which the arrangement is a part be in effect for more than 270 days,

received as compensation for a taxable dividend (other than an eligible dividend) paid by a corporation to a non-resident shareholder in circumstances where it is reasonable to consider that the corporation would, if that shareholder were resident in Canada, have designated the dividend to be an eligible dividend under subsection 89(14).
Subject to subsections 260(3) and 260(4), for the purposes of this Act, any transfer or loan by a lender of a security under a securities lending arrangement shall be deemed not to be a disposition of the security and the security shall be deemed to continue to be property of the lender and, for the purposes of this subsection, a security shall be deemed to include an identical security that has been transferred or returned to the lender under the arrangement.

as an SLA compensation payment,
from a person resident in Canada, or
from a non-resident person who paid the particular amount in the course of carrying on business in Canada through a permanent establishment as defined by regulation; or
as a dealer compensation payment.
If this subsection applies in respect of a particular amount received by a taxpayer in a taxation year as an SLA compensation payment or as a dealer compensation payment, the particular amount is deemed, to the extent of the underlying payment to which the amount relates, to have been received by the taxpayer in the taxation year as,
where the underlying payment is a taxable dividend paid on a share of the capital stock of a public corporation (other than an underlying payment to which paragraph (b) applies), a taxable dividend on the share and, if subsection (1.1) applies to the particular amount, an eligible dividend on the share;
where the underlying payment is paid by a trust on a qualified trust unit issued by the trust,

In computing the income of a taxpayer under Part I from a business or property for a taxation year, there may be deducted a particular amount, paid by the taxpayer in the year as an SLA compensation payment or as a dealer compensation payment, that is equal to
if the taxpayer is a registered securities dealer and the particular amount is deemed by subsection (5.1) to have been received as a taxable dividend, no more than 2/3 of the particular amount; or
if the particular amount is in respect of an amount other than an amount that is, or is deemed by subsection (5.1) to have been, received as a taxable dividend,
where the taxpayer disposes of the borrowed security and includes the gain or loss, if any, from the disposition in computing its income from a business, the particular amount, or
in any other case, the lesser of
the particular amount, and
the amount, if any, in respect of the security distribution to which the SLA compensation payment or dealer compensation payment relates that is included in computing the income, and not deducted in computing the taxable income, for any taxation year of the taxpayer or of any person to whom the taxpayer is related.
Notwithstanding subsection 260(6), there may be deducted in computing a corporation’s income under Part I from a business or property for a taxation year an amount equal to the lesser of
the total of all amounts each of which is an amount that the corporation becomes obligated in the taxation year to pay to another person under an arrangement described in paragraph (b) of the definition dividend rental arrangement in subsection 248(1) that, if paid, would be deemed by subsection (5.1) to have been received by another person as a taxable dividend, and
the amount of the dividends received by the corporation under the arrangement that were identified in its return of income under Part I for the year as an amount in respect of which no amount was deductible because of subsection 112(2.3) in computing the taxpayer’s taxable income or taxable income earned in Canada.
For the purpose of section 129, if a corporation pays an amount for which no deduction in computing the corporation’s income may be claimed under subsection (6.1) and subsection (5.1) deems the amount to have been received by another person as a taxable dividend,
the corporation is deemed to have paid the amount as a taxable dividend, where the corporation is not a registered securities dealer; and
the corporation is deemed to have paid 1/3 of the amount as a taxable dividend, where the corporation is a registered securities dealer.
For the purpose of Part XIII, any amount paid or credited under a securities lending arrangement by or on behalf of the borrower to the lender
as an SLA compensation payment is, subject to paragraph (b) or (c), deemed to be a payment of interest made by the borrower to the lender;
as an SLA compensation payment in respect of a security that is a qualified trust unit, is deemed, to the extent of the amount of the underlying payment to which the SLA compensation payment relates, to be an amount paid by the trust and having the same character and composition as the underlying payment;
as an SLA compensation payment, if the security is not a qualified trust unit and throughout the term of the securities lending arrangement, the borrower has provided the lender under the arrangement with money in an amount of, or securities described in paragraph (c) of the definition qualified security in subsection (1) that have a fair market value of, not less than 95% of the fair market value of the security and the borrower is entitled to enjoy, directly or indirectly, the benefits of all or substantially all income derived from, and opportunity for gain with respect of, the money or securities,
is, to the extent of the amount of the interest or dividend paid in respect of the security, deemed to be a payment made by the borrower to the lender of interest or a dividend, as the case may be, payable on the security, and
is, to the extent of the amount of the interest, if any, paid in respect of the security, deemed to have been payable on a security described in paragraph (a) of the definition fully exempt interest in subsection 212(3) if the security is described in paragraph (c) of the definition qualified security in subsection (1); and
as, on account of, in lieu of payment of or in satisfaction of, a fee for the use of the security is deemed to be a payment of interest made by the borrower to the lender.
For the purpose of paragraph (8)(d), if under a securities lending arrangement the borrower has at any time provided the lender with money, either as collateral or consideration for the security, and the borrower does not, under the arrangement, pay or credit a reasonable amount to the lender as, on account of, in lieu of payment of or in satisfaction of, a fee for the use of the security, the borrower is deemed to have, at the time that an identical security is or can reasonably be expected to be transferred or returned to the lender, paid to the lender under the arrangement an amount as a fee for the use of the security equal to the amount, if any, by which
the interest on the money computed at the prescribed rates in effect during the term of the arrangement
the amount, if any, by which any amount that the lender pays or credits to the borrower under the arrangement exceeds the amount of the money.
In applying subsection (8), any amount, paid or credited under a securities lending arrangement by or on behalf of the borrower to the lender, that is deemed by paragraph (8)(a), (b) or (d) to be a payment of interest, is deemed for the purposes of any tax treaty not to be payable on or in respect of the security.
For the purposes of subsection 187.3(1), where at any time a dividend is received by a restricted financial institution on a share that was last acquired before that time pursuant to an obligation of a borrower to return or transfer a share under a securities lending arrangement, an acquisition of the share under the arrangement shall be deemed at and after that time not to be an acquisition of the share.
For the purpose of Part XIII, where the lender under a securities lending arrangement is not dealing at arm’s length with either the borrower under the arrangement or the issuer of the security that is transferred or lent under the arrangement, or both, and subsection (8) deems an amount to be a payment of interest by a person to the lender in respect of that security, the lender is deemed, in respect of that payment, not to be dealing at arm’s length with that person.

the definition exchange rate in subsection 111(8) is, in respect of the taxpayer and the particular taxation year, and with such modifications as the context requires, to be read as follows:
except in applying paragraph 95(2)(f.15) in respect of a taxation year, of a foreign affiliate of the taxpayer, that is a functional currency year of the foreign affiliate within the meaning of subsection (6.1), each reference in subsection 39(2) to “Canadian currency” is to be read, in respect of the taxpayer and the particular taxation year, and with such modifications as the context requires, as a reference to “the taxpayer’s elected functional currency”;
each reference in
section 76.1, subsection 79(7), paragraph 80(2)(k), subsections 80.01(11), 80.1(8), 93(2.01) to (2.31), 142.4(1) and 142.7(8) and the definition amortized cost in subsection 248(1), and subparagraph 231(6)(a)(iv) of the Income Tax Regulations, to “Canadian currency” is, in respect of the taxpayer and the particular taxation year, and with such modifications as the context requires, to be read as “the taxpayer’s elected functional currency”, and
subparagraph 94.1(1)(b)(vii), the definition foreign currency debt in subsection 111(8), subsection 142.4(1), and the definition amortized cost in subsection 248(1) to “currency of a country other than Canada” is, in respect of the taxpayer and the particular taxation year, and with such modifications as the context requires, to be read as a reference to “currency other than the taxpayer’s elected functional currency”;
the definition foreign currency in subsection 248(1) is, in respect of the taxpayer and the taxation year, and with such modifications as the context requires, to be read as follows:
where a taxation year, of a foreign affiliate of the taxpayer, is a functional currency year of the foreign affiliate within the meaning of subsection (6.1),
the references in section 95 (other than paragraph 95(2)(f.15)) and the references in regulations made for the purposes of section 95 or 113 to
“Canadian currency” are to be read, in respect of the foreign affiliate and the taxation year, and with such modifications as the context requires, as references to “the taxpayer’s elected functional currency”, and
“currency of a country other than Canada” are to be read, in respect of the foreign affiliate and the taxation year, and with such modifications as the context requires, as references to “currency other than the taxpayer’s elected functional currency”, and
the reference in paragraph 95(2)(f.13) to “the rate of exchange quoted by the Bank of Canada at noon on” is to be read, in respect of the foreign affiliate and the taxation year, and with such modifications as the context requires, as a reference to “the relevant spot rate for”.
For the purposes of computing the Canadian tax results of a particular taxpayer for each taxation year that is a functional currency year or a reversionary year of the particular taxpayer, this section is to be applied as if each partnership of which the particular taxpayer is a member at any time in the taxation year were a taxpayer that
had as its first functional currency year its first fiscal period, if any, that
is a fiscal period at any time during which the particular taxpayer is a member of the partnership,
begins after December 13, 2007, and
ends at least six months after the day that is six months before the end of the particular taxpayer’s first functional currency year;
had as its last Canadian currency year its last fiscal period, if any, that ends before its first functional currency year;
had as its first reversionary year its first fiscal period, if any, that begins after the particular taxpayer’s last functional currency year;
is subject to subsection (5) for each of its fiscal periods that is, or begins after, its first functional currency year and that ends before its first reversionary year;
had as its elected functional currency in respect of each fiscal period described in paragraph (d) the elected functional currency of the particular taxpayer; and
had as its last functional currency year its last fiscal period, if any, that ends before its first reversionary year.
For the purposes of computing the foreign accrual property income of a foreign affiliate of a particular taxpayer, in respect of the particular taxpayer, for each taxation year that is a functional currency year or a reversionary year of the particular taxpayer, this section is to be applied as if
the foreign affiliate were a taxpayer that
had, as its first functional currency year, its first taxation year that
is a taxation year at any time during which the foreign affiliate is a foreign affiliate of the particular taxpayer,
begins after December 13, 2007, and
ends at least six months after the day that is six months before the end of the particular taxpayer’s first functional currency year,
had as its last Canadian currency year its last taxation year, if any, that ends before its first functional currency year,
had as its first reversionary year its first taxation year, if any, that begins after the particular taxpayer’s last functional currency year,
is subject to subsection (5) for each of its taxation years that is, or begins after, its first functional currency year and that ends before its first reversionary year,
had as its elected functional currency in respect of each taxation year described in subparagraph (iv) the elected functional currency of the particular taxpayer, and
had as its last functional currency year its last taxation year, if any, that ends before its first reversionary year; and
the Canadian tax results of the foreign affiliate for each taxation year that is a functional currency year or a reversionary year of the foreign affiliate, within the meaning of paragraph (a), were its foreign accrual property income, in respect of the particular taxpayer, for that taxation year and any amount that is relevant in determining such foreign accrual property income.
In applying this Act to a taxpayer for a particular functional currency year of the taxpayer, the following amounts are to be converted from Canadian currency to the taxpayer’s elected functional currency using the relevant spot rate for the last day of the taxpayer’s last Canadian currency year:
each particular amount that
is, or is relevant to the determination of, an amount that may be deducted under subsection 37(1) or 66(4), variable F or F.1 in the definition foreign accrual property income in subsection 95(1), section 110.1 or 111 or subsection 126(2), 127(5), 129(1), 181.1(4) or 190.1(3), in the particular functional currency year, and
was determined for a Canadian currency year of the taxpayer;
the cost to the taxpayer of a property that was acquired by the taxpayer in a Canadian currency year of the taxpayer;
an amount that was required by section 53 to be added or deducted in computing, at any time in a Canadian currency year of the taxpayer, the adjusted cost base to the taxpayer of a capital property that was acquired by the taxpayer in such a year;
an amount that
is in respect of the taxpayer’s undepreciated capital cost of depreciable property of a prescribed class, cumulative eligible capital in respect of a business, cumulative Canadian exploration expense (within the meaning assigned by subsection 66.1(6)), cumulative Canadian development expense (within the meaning assigned by subsection 66.2(5)), cumulative foreign resource expense in respect of a country other than Canada (within the meaning assigned by subsection 66.21(1)) or cumulative Canadian oil and gas property expense (within the meaning assigned by subsection 66.4(5)) (each of which is referred to in this paragraph as a “pool amount”), and
was added to or deducted from a pool amount of the taxpayer in respect of a Canadian currency year of the taxpayer;
an amount that has been deducted or claimed as a reserve in computing the income of the taxpayer for its last Canadian currency year;
an outlay or expense referred to in subsection 18(9) that was made or incurred by the taxpayer in respect of a Canadian currency year of the taxpayer, and any amount that was deducted in respect of the outlay or expense in computing the income of the taxpayer for such a year;
an amount that was added or deducted in computing the taxpayer’s paid-up capital in respect of a class of shares of its capital stock in a Canadian currency year of the taxpayer; and
any amount (other than an amount referred to in any of paragraphs (a) to (g) or any of subsections (6), (6.1) and (8)) determined under the provisions of this Act in or in respect of a Canadian currency year of the taxpayer that is relevant in determining the Canadian tax results of the taxpayer for the particular functional currency year.
In determining, at any time in a particular functional currency year of a taxpayer, the amount for which a pre-transition debt of the taxpayer (other than a pre-transition debt denominated in the taxpayer’s elected functional currency) was issued and its principal amount at the beginning of the taxpayer’s first functional currency year,
where the pre-transition debt is denominated in Canadian currency, those amounts are to be converted to the taxpayer’s elected functional currency using the relevant spot rate for the last day of the taxpayer’s last Canadian currency year; and
where the pre-transition debt is denominated in a currency (referred to in this paragraph as the “debt currency”) that is neither Canadian currency nor the taxpayer’s elected functional currency, those amounts are to be converted from the debt currency to the taxpayer’s elected functional currency using the relevant spot rate for the last day of the taxpayer’s last Canadian currency year.
A pre-transition debt of a taxpayer that is denominated in a currency other than the taxpayer’s elected functional currency is deemed to have been issued immediately before the taxpayer’s first functional currency year for the purposes of
determining the amount of the taxpayer’s income, gain or loss, for a functional currency year of the taxpayer (other than an amount that subsection (10) deems to arise), that is attributable to a fluctuation in the value of a currency; and
applying paragraph 80(2)(k) in respect of a functional currency year of the taxpayer.
If a taxpayer has, at any time in a taxation year that is a functional currency year or a reversionary year of the taxpayer, made a particular payment on account of the principal amount of a pre-transition debt of the taxpayer:
where the taxpayer would have made a gain — or, if the pre-transition debt was not on account of capital, would have had income — (referred to in this paragraph as the “hypothetical gain or income”) attributable to a fluctuation in the value of a currency if the pre-transition debt had been settled by the taxpayer’s having paid, immediately before the end of its last Canadian currency year, an amount equal to the principal amount (expressed in the currency in which the pre-transition debt is denominated, which currency is referred to in this subsection as the “debt currency”) at that time, the taxpayer is deemed to make a gain or to have income, as the case may be, for the taxation year equal to the amount determined by the formula A × B/C where A is if the taxation year is a functional currency year of the taxpayer, the amount of the hypothetical gain or income converted to the taxpayer’s elected functional currency using the relevant spot rate for the last day of the taxpayer’s last Canadian currency year, and if the taxation year is a reversionary year of the taxpayer, the amount determined under subparagraph (i) converted to Canadian currency using the relevant spot rate for the last day of the taxpayer’s last functional currency year, B is the amount of the particular payment (expressed in the debt currency), and C is the principal amount of the pre-transition debt at the beginning of the taxpayer’s first functional currency year (expressed in the debt currency); and
where the taxpayer would have sustained a loss — or, if the pre-transition debt was not on account of capital, would have had a loss — (referred to in this paragraph as the “hypothetical loss”) attributable to a fluctuation in the value of a currency if the pre-transition debt had been settled by the taxpayer’s having paid, immediately before the end of its last Canadian currency year, an amount equal to the principal amount (expressed in the debt currency) at that time, the taxpayer is deemed to sustain or to have a loss in respect of the particular payment for the taxation year equal to the amount that would be determined by the formula in paragraph (a) if the reference in the description of A in that paragraph to “hypothetical gain or income” were read as a reference to “hypothetical loss”.
Notwithstanding subsections (5) and (7), for the purposes of applying this Act in respect of a functional currency year (referred to in this subsection as the “particular taxation year”) of a taxpayer,
for the purposes of determining the taxpayer’s payment obligations under paragraph 157(1)(a) or (1.1)(a),
the estimated amounts, each of which is described in subparagraph 157(1)(a)(i) or (1.1)(a)(i), that are payable by the taxpayer for the particular taxation year are to be determined by converting those amounts, as determined in the taxpayer’s elected functional currency, to Canadian currency using the relevant spot rate for the day on which those amounts are due,
the taxpayer’s first instalment base (within the meaning assigned by subsection 157(4)) for the particular taxation year is to be determined
if the particular taxation year is the taxpayer’s first functional currency year, without reference to this section, and
in any other case, as if the taxes payable by the taxpayer for the taxpayer’s functional currency year (referred to in this paragraph as the “first base year”) immediately preceding the particular taxation year were the total of
the total of the taxpayer’s payment obligations under paragraph 157(1)(a) or (1.1)(a), as determined with reference to this subparagraph or subparagraph (i) or (iii), as the case may be, in respect of the first base year, and
the amount, if any, of the remainder of the taxes payable by the taxpayer under paragraph 157(1)(b) or (1.1)(b), as determined under paragraph (b), in respect of the first base year, and
the taxpayer’s second instalment base (within the meaning assigned by subsection 157(4)) for the particular taxation year is to be determined
if the particular taxation year is the taxpayer’s first functional currency year or its taxation year that immediately follows its first functional currency year, without reference to this section, and
in any other case, as if the taxes payable by the taxpayer for the taxpayer’s functional currency year (referred to in this subparagraph as the “second base year”) immediately preceding the first base year were the total of
the total of the taxpayer’s payment obligations under paragraph 157(1)(a) or (1.1)(a), as determined with reference to this subparagraph or subparagraph (i) or (ii), as the case may be, in respect of the second base year, and
the amount, if any, of the remainder of the taxes payable by the taxpayer under paragraph 157(1)(b) or (1.1)(b), as determined under paragraph (b), in respect of the second base year;
the remainder of the taxes payable by the taxpayer under paragraph 157(1)(b) or (1.1)(b) for the particular taxation year is the amount, if any, determined by
computing the amount, if any, by which exceeds
the total of the taxes payable by the taxpayer under this Part and Parts VI, VI.1 and XIII.1 for the particular taxation year, as determined in the taxpayer’s elected functional currency
the total of all amounts each of which is the amount determined by converting the amount of a payment obligation — determined by paragraph 157(1)(a) or (1.1)(a), as the case may be, with reference to subparagraph (a)(i), (ii) or (iii), as the case may be — of the taxpayer in respect of the particular taxation year to the taxpayer’s elected functional currency using the relevant spot rate for the day on which the payment obligation was due, and
converting the amount, if any, determined by subparagraph (i) to Canadian currency using the relevant spot rate for the taxpayer’s balance-due day for the partic-ular taxation year;
for the purposes of determining any amount (other than tax) that is payable by the taxpayer under this Part or Part VI, VI.1 or XIII.1 for the particular taxation year, the taxpayer’s tax payable under the Part for the particular taxation year is deemed to be equal to the total of
the total of the taxpayer’s payment obligations under paragraph 157(1)(a) or (1.1)(a), in respect of the Part, as determined with reference to subparagraph (a)(i), (ii) or (iii), as the case may be, in respect of the particular taxation year, and
the amount, if any, of the remainder of the taxes payable by the taxpayer under paragraph 157(1)(b) or (1.1)(b), in respect of the Part, as determined under paragraph (b), in respect of the particular taxation year;
amounts of tax that are payable under this Act (except under this Part and Parts VI, VI.1 and XIII.1) by the taxpayer for the particular taxation year are to be determined by converting those amounts, as determined in the taxpayer’s elected functional currency, to Canadian currency using the relevant spot rate for the day on which those amounts are due;
if a particular amount that is determined in the taxpayer’s elected functional currency is deemed to be paid at any time on account of an amount payable by the taxpayer under this Act for the particular taxation year, the particular amount is to be converted to Canadian currency using the relevant spot rate for the day that includes that time;
the following amounts are to be determined in the taxpayer’s elected functional currency and converted to Canadian currency using the relevant spot rate for the taxpayer’s balance-due day for the particular taxation year:
amounts described in paragraph 163(1)(a) in respect of the particular taxation year, and
the amount of the taxpayer’s taxable capital employed in Canada, for the purpose of applying section 235; and
for greater certainty, all amounts payable by the taxpayer under this Act in respect of the particular taxation year are to be paid in Canadian currency.
In applying this Act to a reversionary year of a taxpayer, subsections (7) and (8) are to be read as if the references in those subsections to
“Canadian currency” were references to “the taxpayer’s elected functional currency”;
“Canadian currency year” were references to “functional currency year”;
“functional currency year” were references to “reversionary year”;
“first functional currency year” were references to “first reversionary year”;
“last Canadian currency year” were references to “last functional currency year”;
“pre-transition debt” were references to “pre-reversion debt”; and
“the taxpayer’s elected functional currency” were references to “Canadian currency”.
A pre-reversion debt of a taxpayer that is denominated in a currency other than Canadian currency is deemed to have been issued immediately before the taxpayer’s first reversionary year for the purposes of
determining the amount of the taxpayer’s income, gain or loss, for a reversionary year of the taxpayer (other than an amount that subsection (14) deems to arise), that is attributable to a fluctuation in the value of a currency; and
applying paragraph 80(2)(k) in respect of a reversionary year of the taxpayer.
If a taxpayer has, at any time in a reversionary year of the taxpayer, made a particular payment on account of the principal amount of a pre-reversion debt of the taxpayer:
where the taxpayer would have made a gain — or, if the pre-reversion debt was not on account of capital, would have had income — (referred to in this paragraph as the “hypothetical gain or income”) attributable to a fluctuation in the value of a currency if the pre-reversion debt had been settled by the taxpayer’s having paid, immediately before the end of its last functional currency year, an amount equal to the principal amount (expressed in the currency in which the pre-reversion debt is denominated, which currency is referred to in this subsection as the “debt currency”) at that time, the taxpayer is deemed to make a gain or to have income, as the case may be, for the reversionary year equal to the amount determined by the formula A × B/C where A is the amount of the hypothetical gain or income converted to Canadian currency using the relevant spot rate for the last day of the taxpayer’s last functional currency year, B is the amount of the particular payment (expressed in the debt currency), and C is the principal amount of the pre-reversion debt at the beginning of the taxpayer’s first reversionary year (expressed in the debt currency); and
where the taxpayer would have sustained a loss — or, if the pre-reversion debt was not on account of capital, would have had a loss — (referred to in this paragraph as the “hypothetical loss”) attributable to a fluctuation in the value of a currency if the pre-reversion debt had been settled by the taxpayer’s having paid, immediately before the end of its last functional currency year, an amount equal to the principal amount (expressed in the debt currency) at that time, the taxpayer is deemed to sustain or to have a loss in respect of the particular payment for the reversionary year equal to the amount that would be determined by the formula in paragraph (a) if the reference in the description of A in that paragraph to “hypothetical gain or income” were read as a reference to “hypothetical loss”.
For the purposes of determining the amount that may be deducted, in respect of a particular amount that arises in a taxation year (referred to in this subsection as the “later year”) of a taxpayer, under section 111 or subsection 126(2), 127(5), 181.1(4) or 190.1(3) in computing the taxpayer’s Canadian tax results for a taxation year (referred to in this subsection as the “current year”) that ended before the later year, and for the purposes of determining the amount by which the amount included under subsection 91(1) for the current year is reduced because of a reduction referred to in paragraph 152(6.1)(b) in respect of the later year,
if the later year is a functional currency year of the taxpayer and the current year is a Canadian currency year of the taxpayer, the following amounts (expressed in the taxpayer’s elected functional currency) are to be converted to Canadian currency using the relevant spot rate for the last day of the taxpayer’s last Canadian currency year:
the particular amount, and
any amount so deducted in computing the taxpayer’s Canadian tax results for another functional currency year of the taxpayer;
if the later year is a reversionary year of the taxpayer and the current year is a functional currency year of the taxpayer,
the following amounts (expressed in Canadian currency) are to be converted to the taxpayer’s elected functional currency using the relevant spot rate for the last day of the taxpayer’s last functional currency year:
the particular amount, and
any amount so deducted in computing the taxpayer’s Canadian tax results for another reversionary year of the taxpayer, and
any amount (expressed in Canadian currency) so deducted in computing the taxpayer’s Canadian tax results for a Canadian currency year of the taxpayer is to be converted to the taxpayer’s elected functional currency using the relevant spot rate for the last day of the taxpayer’s last Canadian currency year;
if the later year is a reversionary year of the taxpayer and the current year is a Canadian currency year of the taxpayer, the following amounts (expressed in the taxpayer’s elected functional currency) are to be converted to Canadian currency using the relevant spot rate for the last day of the taxpayer’s last Canadian currency year:
the amount that would be determined under clause (b)(i)(A) in respect of the particular amount if the current year were a functional currency year of the taxpayer, and
any amount so deducted in computing the taxpayer’s Canadian tax results for a functional currency year of the taxpayer; and
in any other case, this subsection does not apply.
If a winding-up described in subsection 88(1) commences at any time (referred to in this subsection as the “commencement time”) and the parent and the subsidiary referred to in that subsection would, in the absence of this subsection, have different tax reporting currencies at the commencement time, the following rules apply for the purposes of determining the subsidiary’s Canadian tax results for its taxation years that end after the commencement time:
where the subsidiary’s tax reporting currency is Canadian currency,
notwithstanding subsection (3), subsection (5) is deemed to apply to the subsidiary in respect of its taxation year that includes the commencement time and each of its subsequent taxation years, if any,
the subsidiary is deemed to have as its elected functional currency the parent’s tax reporting currency, and
if the subsidiary’s taxation year that includes the commencement time would, in the absence of this subsection, be a reversionary year of the subsidiary, this section is to be read with any modifications that the circumstances require; and
where the subsidiary’s tax reporting currency is not Canadian currency,
the subsidiary is deemed to have filed, at the time that is six months and one day before the beginning of its taxation year that includes the commencement time, in prescribed form and manner, a notice of revocation described in subsection (4), and
if the parent’s tax reporting currency is not Canadian currency,
the subsidiary’s first reversionary year is deemed to have ended at the particular time that is immediately after the time at which it began,
a new taxation year of the subsidiary is deemed to have begun immediately after the particular time,
notwithstanding subsection (3), subsection (5) is deemed to apply to the subsidiary in respect of its taxation year that includes the commencement time and each of its subsequent taxation years, if any, and
the subsidiary is deemed to have as its elected functional currency the parent’s tax reporting currency.
If a predecessor corporation and the new corporation, in respect of an amalgamation within the meaning of subsection 87(1), have different tax reporting currencies for their last and first taxation years, respectively, paragraphs (16)(a) and (b) apply, for the purposes of determining the predecessor corporation’s Canadian tax results for its last taxation year, as if the tax reporting currencies referred to in those paragraphs were the tax reporting currencies referred to in this subsection and as if the references in those paragraphs to
“subsidiary” were references to “predecessor corporation”;
“parent” were references to “new corporation”; and
“taxation year that includes the commencement time” were references to “last taxation year”.
The Canadian tax results of a corporation for any one or more taxation years shall be determined using a particular currency if
at any time (referred to in this subsection as the “transfer time”) one or more properties are directly or indirectly transferred
by the corporation to another corporation (referred to in this subsection as the “transferor” and the “transferee”, respectively), or
by another corporation to the corporation (referred to in this subsection as the “transferor” and the “transferee”, respectively);
the transferor and the transferee are related at the transfer time or become related in the course of a series of transactions or events that includes the transfer;
the transfer time
is, or would in the absence of subsections (16) and (17) be, in a functional currency year of the transferor and the transferor and the transferee have, or would in the absence of those subsections have, different tax reporting currencies at the transfer time, or
is, or would in the absence of those subsections be, in a reversionary year of the transferor and is not in a reversionary year of the transferee;
it can reasonably be considered that one of the main purposes of the transfer or of any portion of a series of transactions or events that includes the transfer is to change, or to enable the changing of, the currency in which the Canadian tax results in respect of the property, or property substituted for it, for a taxation year would otherwise be determined; and
the Minister directs that those Canadian tax results be determined in the particular currency.
For the purposes of subsection (18), if one corporate entity (referred to in this subsection as the “new corporation”) is formed at a particular time by the amalgamation or other merger of two or more corporations (each of which is referred to in this subsection as a “predecessor corporation”),
the predecessor corporation is deemed to have transferred to the new corporation at the time (referred to in this subsection as the “merger transfer time”) that is immediately before the particular time each property that was held at the merger transfer time by the predecessor corporation and at the particular time by the new corporation;
the new corporation is deemed to exist, and to be related to the predecessor corporation, at the merger transfer time; and
the new corporation is deemed to have as its tax reporting currency at the merger transfer time its tax reporting currency at the particular time.
Subsection (21) applies in determining a taxpayer’s income, gain or loss for a taxation year in respect of a transaction (referred to in this subsection and subsection (21) as a “specified transaction”) if
the specified transaction was entered into, directly or indirectly, at any time by the taxpayer and a corporation (referred to in this subsection as the “related corporation”) to which the taxpayer is at that time related;
the taxpayer and the related corporation had different tax reporting currencies at any time during the period (referred to in this subsection as the “accrual period”) in which the income, gain or loss accrued; and
it would, in the absence of this subsection and subsection (21), be reasonable to consider that a fluctuation at any time in the accrual period in the value of the taxpayer’s tax reporting currency relative to the value of the related corporation’s tax reporting currency
increased the taxpayer’s loss in respect of the specified transaction,
