AS PASSED

NOTE

Reprint of Bill C-33 of the First Session of the Thirty-ninth Parliament, as adopted by the House of Commons at Third Reading on June 15, 2007.

RECOMMENDATION
Her Excellency the Governor General recommends to the House of Commons the appropriation of public revenue under the circumstances, in the manner and for the purposes set out in a measure entitled “An Act to amend the Income Tax Act, including amendments in relation to foreign investment entities and non-resident trusts, and to provide for the bijural expression of the provisions of that Act”.
SUMMARY
Part 1 of the enactment enacts, in accordance with proposals announced in the 1999 budget, amendments to the provisions of the Income Tax Act governing the taxation of non-resident trusts and their beneficiaries and of Canadian taxpayers who hold interests in foreign investment entities.
Part 2 enacts various technical amendments that were included in Part 1 of a discussion draft entitled Legislative Proposals and Draft Regulations Relating to Income Tax released for consultation by the Minister of Finance on February 27, 2004. Most of these amendments are relieving in nature, and others correct technical deficiencies in the Act. For example, Part 2 enacts amendments
–       to implement various technical amendments to qualified investments for deferred income plans,
–       to clarify that certain government payments received in lieu of employment insurance are treated the same as employment insurance for income tax purposes,
–       to extend the existing non-resident withholding tax exemption for aircraft to certain air navigation equipment and related computer software,
–       to allow public corporations to return paid-up-capital arising from transactions outside the ordinary course of business, without generating a deemed dividend,
–       to confirm an income tax exemption for corporations owned by a municipal or public body performing a function of government in Canada, and
–       to provide that input tax credits received under the Quebec Sales Tax system are treated for income tax purposes in the same way as input tax credits received under the GST.
Further, Part 2 enacts provisions to implement announcements made by the Minister of Finance
–       on September 18, 2001, limiting the tax shelter benefits to a taxpayer who acquires the future business income of another person,
–       on October 7, 2003, to ensure that payments received for agreeing not to compete are taxable,
–       on November 14, 2003, to simplify and better target the tax incentives for certified Canadian films,
–       on December 5, 2003, to limit the tax benefits of charitable donations made under certain tax shelter and other gifting arrangements, and
–       on November 17, 2005, relating to the cost of property acquired in certain option and similar transactions.
Part 3 deals with provisions of the Act that are not opened up in Parts 1 and 2 in which the following private law concepts are used: right and interest, real and personal property, life estate and remainder interest, tangible and intangible property and joint and several liability. It enacts amendments to ensure that those provisions are bijural, that is that they reflect both the common law and the civil law in both linguistic versions. Similar amendments are made in Parts 1 and 2 to ensure that any provision of the Act enacted by those Parts are also bijural.

“arm’s length transfer”
« transfert sans lien de dépendance »

(c) the only manner in which any part of the interest may cease to be the entity’s is by way of a transfer (determined as if subsection (2) were read only with reference to clauses (2)(m)(ii)(B) and (D)) of that part by the entity, which transfer is a disposition (determined without reference to paragraph (i) of the definition “disposition” in subsection 248(1) and paragraph 248(8)(c)) by the entity of that part; and

(iii) it is reasonable to conclude that the particular entity was the only entity that acquired, in respect of the transfer, an interest as a beneficiary under the trust,
(iv) the particular entity 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 entity’s status at the time of the transfer as a manager or promoter of the trust,
(v) 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 (g) of the definition “eligible trust”, and
(vi) the particular time is before the earliest of
(A) the first time at which the trust becomes an exempt foreign trust,

(ii) as a result of a transfer (which transfer is referred to in this paragraph as the “sale”) at the particular time by any entity (referred to in this paragraph as the “seller”) to another entity (referred to in this paragraph as the “buyer”) the trust
(A) no longer holds any property that is shares of the capital stock of, or debt issued by, the Canadian corporation, and
(B) 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,
(iii) the buyer deals at arm’s length immediately before the particular time with the Canadian corporation, the trust and the seller,
(iv) 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
(v) it is reasonable to conclude
(A) 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,
(B) 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
(C) 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; and

(ii) the Minister is satisfied that
(A) the individual (and any entity 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,
(B) 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
(I) the individual,
(II) a descendant of the individual, or
(III) any entity with whom the individual or descendant does not, at any time, deal at arm’s length, and
(C) 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
(I) 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
(II) $500.

Deemed cessation of residence
(5) 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 period that would, if this Act were read without reference to subsection 128.1(4), be a taxation year of the trust
(a) that immediately follows a taxation year of the trust throughout which it was resident in Canada;

Determination of contribution amount — special case
(9) If a contribution is made at any time by an entity to a trust as a consequence of a transaction that is, or as a consequence of a series of transactions or events that includes, the transfer at that time to the trust of a specified property, the amount of the contribution at that time is deemed, for the purposes of clause (2)(u)(ii)(C), subparagraph (7)(a)(ii) and subsection (8), to be the greater of
(a) the amount, determined without reference to this subsection, of the contribution at that time, and
(b) the amount that is the greatest fair market value of the specified property, or property substituted for it, in the period that
(i) begins immediately after that time, and
(ii) ends at the end of the third calendar year that ends after that time.
Where contributor becomes resident in Canada within 60 months after contributing
(10) In applying this section at each specified time, in respect of a taxation year of a trust, 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
(a) 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
(b) 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.
Application of subsections (12) and (13)
(11) Subsections (12) and (13) apply to a trust or an entity in respect of a trust if
(a) 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”);
(b) the original trust
(i) is deemed to be resident in Canada immediately before that time because of paragraph (3)(a),
(ii) 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,
(iii) 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 began before 2007 (or, where this subsection applies to a taxation year of the trust that begins before 2007, as it read in its application to taxation years of the trust that began before the first such taxation year), or
(iv) 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 began before 2007 (or, where this subsection applies to a taxation year of the trust that begins before 2007, as it read in its application to taxation years of the trust that began before the first such taxation year) if that subsection were read in that application without reference to subclause (b)(i)(A)(III) of that subsection; and
(c) 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 subsection (3) (or the application of this section as it read in its application to taxation years that began before 2007 or, where this subsection applies in respect of a taxation year of the trust that begins before 2007, as it read in its application to taxation years of the trust that began before the first such taxation year).
Deemed resident contributor
(12) 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.
Deemed contributor
(13) An entity (including any entity 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) a contributor to the transferee trust; and
(b) a connected contributor to the transferee trust, if at that time the entity is a connected contributor to the original trust.
Restricted property — exception
(14) A particular property that is, or will be, at any time held, loaned or transferred, as the case may be, by an entity is not restricted property held, loaned or transferred, as the case may be, at that time by the entity if
(a) the particular property is a share of a specified class (as defined by subsection 256(1.1)) of the shares of the capital stock of a corporation and
(i) the particular property was acquired, as part of a transaction or series of transactions or events, from the corporation in exchange for, or as consideration for, property that is money only, and
(ii) no other property (other than property that is identical to the particular property) was acquired by any entity as part of that transaction or series of transactions or events;
(b) the particular property is identified in prescribed form, containing prescribed information, filed, by or on behalf of the entity, with the Minister on or before the entity’s filing-due date (or another date that is acceptable to the Minister) for the entity’s taxation year that includes that time, and
(i) the particular property (and property, if any, for which the particular property is, or is to be, substituted property) was not, and will not be, at any time acquired, held, loaned or transferred by the entity (or any entity with whom the entity 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, and
(ii) 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); or
(c) the property is at that time excluded property.
Determining arm’s length dealing and related entities
(15) In determining whether an entity and another entity are related to each other or deal at arm’s length with each other, a person referred to in section 251 includes an entity.
Anti-avoidance — 150 entities
(16) In applying this section,
(a) if it can reasonably be considered that one of the main reasons that an entity 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;
(b) if it can reasonably be considered that one of the main reasons that an entity holds at any time an interest in a trust is to cause the condition in subclause (h)(ii)(A)(I) 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
(c) if it can reasonably be considered that one of the main reasons that a person holds at any time a property is to cause the condition in paragraph (b) of the definition “excluded property” in subsection (1) 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.

Rules of application
(2) For the purposes of applying this section and sections 94.2 to 94.4 in respect of a particular participating interest, in a particular non-resident entity, held by a taxpayer in a particular taxation year of the taxpayer (and in respect of any other participating interests, in the particular non-resident entity, that are identical to the particular participating interest and that are held by the taxpayer in the particular taxation year),
(a) in determining whether the particular non-resident entity is a foreign investment entity, if the financial statements of an entity (referred to in this paragraph as the “first entity”) for a taxation year (referred to in this paragraph as the “specified year”) of the first entity reflect property, indebtedness, income or losses of another entity,
(i) the business and non-business activities for the specified year carried on by the other entity, the net accounting income for the specified year determined for the other entity from those activities and the property and indebtedness for the specified year owned by or owed by, as the case may be, the other entity are deemed for the specified year to be carried on by, determined for, owned by or owed by, as the case may be, the first entity, and
(ii) an exempt business of the other entity at any time in the specified year is, if it is a business the activities of which are deemed by subparagraph (i) to be carried on by the first entity, deemed to be an exempt business of the first entity at that time in the specified year;
(b) for greater certainty, generally accepted accounting principles as developed and established by either the Financial Accounting Standards Board of the United States of America or the International Accounting Standards Board, for use for a particular year, are substantially similar to those developed and established, or adopted, by the Accounting Standards Board of Canada for use in Canada for the particular year;
(c) in determining the designated cost to the taxpayer of the participating interest at any time in the particular taxation year, where the particular participating interest is an interest in a trust that is not an exempt foreign trust (as defined in subsection 94(1)), the designated cost to the taxpayer of the particular participating interest is deemed to be the greater of
(i) the designated cost, determined without reference to this paragraph, at that time to the taxpayer of the particular participating interest, and
(ii) the total of all amounts each of which is
(A) the fair market value, at that time, of a restricted property (within the meaning assigned by section 94) held by the trust to the extent that it is reasonable to consider that the restricted property is held, at that time, by the trust for the purpose of satisfying the rights (whether immediate or in the future, whether absolute or contingent or whether conditional on or subject to the discretion by any entity) of the taxpayer in respect of the participating interest, or
(B) the amount that would be the cost amount (as determined under paragraph (b) of the definition “cost amount” in subsection 108(1)) at that time to the taxpayer of the participating interest if
(I) a reference to property in the description of A in the formula in that definition were read without reference to property that is restricted property to which clause (A) applies,
(II) the value of B in the formula in that definition were nil,
(III) the value of C in the formula in that definition were 1, and
(IV) the value of D in the formula in that definition were the number of persons resident in Canada that hold a participating interest in the trust and that are identified in prescribed form filed by the taxpayer with the taxpayer’s return of income for the particular taxation year;
(d) the reference in subsections (4) and 94.3(4) to “as income from property from a property that is the participating interest” is to be read as a reference to “as income from property from a property that is a source outside Canada that is the participating interest”, if the taxpayer is a trust and the portion of the net accounting income of the particular non-resident entity, from sources outside Canada, for its last taxation year that ends in the particular taxation year exceeds 90% of the total net accounting income of the particular non-resident entity for that last taxation year;
(e) in determining whether the principal undertaking of an entity is, in a taxation year of the entity, the carrying on of a business that is not an investment business,
(i) subject to subparagraphs (ii) and (iii), that determination is to be by reference to all the facts and circumstances that relate to the undertakings of the entity and that are within the knowledge of the taxpayer or knowledge of which would, upon diligent inquiry by the taxpayer, be obtainable by the taxpayer,
(ii) subject to subparagraph (iii), where the taxpayer has, by notifying the Minister in writing in the taxpayer’s return of income for the particular taxation year, elected to have either clause (A) or (B) apply in respect of the entity,
(A) the principal undertaking of the entity for the taxation year of the entity is deemed to be the carrying on of a business that is
(I) an investment business if the total net accounting income of the entity, for the entity’s taxation year, derived from investment property (other than investment property used or held in the course of carrying on an investment business) and from investment businesses is equal to or greater than the total net accounting income of the entity for the entity’s taxation year derived from businesses (other than investment businesses), and
(II) not an investment business if the total net accounting income of the entity for the entity’s taxation year derived from investment property (other than investment property used or held in the course of carrying on an investment business) and from investment businesses is less than the total net accounting income of the entity for the entity’s taxation year derived from businesses (other than investment businesses) carried on by the entity in the entity’s taxation year, or
(B) the principal undertaking of the entity for the taxation year of the entity is deemed to be the carrying on of a business that is
(I) an investment business if the total gross revenue of the entity, for the entity’s taxation year, derived from investment property (other than investment property used or held in the course of carrying on an investment business) and from investment businesses is equal to or greater than the total gross revenue of the entity for the entity’s taxation year derived from businesses (other than investment businesses), and
(II) not an investment business if the total gross revenue of the entity for the entity’s taxation year derived from investment property (other than investment property used or held in the course of carrying on an investment business) and from investment businesses is less than the total gross revenue of the entity for the entity’s taxation year derived from businesses (other than investment businesses) carried on by the entity in the entity’s taxation year, and
(iii) if the Minister sends a written demand to the taxpayer requesting additional information for the purpose of enabling the Minister to determine whether the principal undertaking of the entity is in the entity’s taxation year the carrying on of an investment business, 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 demand, the principal undertaking of the entity is deemed to be the carrying on of an investment business;
(f) in determining whether an entity or natural person and another entity or natural person are related to each other or deal at arm’s length with each other, a person referred to in section 251 includes an entity;
(g) in applying subparagraph (e)(i) of the definition “exempt interest” in subsection (1), if the particular non-resident entity is not a corporation, a partnership or a trust, it is deemed not to be resident in a particular country, unless
(i) the particular country is a country other than a prescribed country,
(ii) the particular non-resident entity is governed, and any of exists, was (unless the entity was continued in any jurisdiction) formed or organized, or was last continued, under the laws of the particular country or of a political subdivision of the particular country, and
(iii) the particular non-resident entity is liable, under the laws of the particular country, to pay an income or profits tax imposed by the government of the par- ticular country on all of the particular non-resident entity’s income, profits or gains;
(h) subject to paragraph (i), a non-resident entity is deemed to be a controlled foreign affiliate of the taxpayer throughout the period that begins at the earliest time at which the non-resident entity is a foreign affiliate of the taxpayer, in the taxpayer’s taxation year in the return of income for which the taxpayer elects in prescribed form to treat the non-resident entity as a controlled foreign affiliate of the taxpayer (referred to in this paragraph as the “taxpayer’s election year”), and that ends at the earliest subsequent time at which it is not a foreign affiliate of the taxpayer, if
(i) at any time in the taxpayer’s election year,
(A) the taxpayer holds a participating interest in the non-resident entity and a taxation year of the non-resident entity ends (or the first taxation year of the non-resident entity begins), or
(B) a controlled foreign affiliate of the taxpayer holds a participating interest in the non-resident entity, a taxation year of the controlled foreign affiliate ends and a taxation year of the non-resident entity ends (or the first taxation year of the non-resident entity begins) in that taxation year of the controlled foreign affiliate,
(ii) the non-resident entity is, at the end of its taxation years referred to in clause (i)(A) or (B), 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)), and
(iii) the taxpayer has not made any other election under this paragraph in respect of the non-resident entity;
(i) an election made by the taxpayer (or where the taxpayer is a partnership, by an entity that was at any time a member of the taxpayer) under paragraph (h) is, other than for the purposes of applying this paragraph and subparagraph (h)(iii), deemed never to have been made, if

(ii) information that may reasonably be considered to be satisfactory 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 demand;
(j) if the taxpayer has, by notifying the Minister in writing in the taxpayer’s return of income for the particular taxation year, elected to have this paragraph apply in respect of the particular participating interest, the taxpayer files with that return of income prescribed information in prescribed form, an entity (referred to in this paragraph as the “specified entity”) has a significant interest in another entity that is a corporation, partnership or trust, the particular non-resident entity is the specified entity or has, directly or indirectly, an interest in the specified entity, and the financial statements of the specified entity do not reflect property or indebtedness of the other entity, in determining only whether the particular non-resident entity is a foreign investment entity, and where the taxpayer so stipulates in that election, whether the particular non-resident entity is a qualifying entity

(A) the carrying value of each
(I) participating interest held, at the time (referred to in this paragraph as the “specified time”) that is the end of the particular non-resident entity’s last taxation year that ends in the partic- ular taxation year, by the specified entity in the other entity, and

A × B/C
where
A      is the carrying value at the specified time to the other entity of the property,
B      is the total of all amounts each of which is
(A) the fair market value at the specified time of a participating interest in the other entity held at the specified time by the specified entity, and

(iii) the specified entity is deemed
(A) to have carried on the proportion obtained for the formula B/C in subparagraph (ii) (in respect of the specified entity and the other entity) of the activities carried on at the specified time by the other entity in which it used the property referred to in subparagraph (ii), and
(B) to have that proportion of the net accounting income of the other entity for the period in the taxation year of the other entity ending at the specified time that was derived from the activities referred to in clause (A), and
(iv) an exempt business of the other entity at any time in the particular non-resident entity’s last taxation year that ends in the particular taxation year is, to the extent that its activities are deemed by subparagraph (iii) to be carried on by the specified entity, deemed to be an exempt business of the specified entity at that time in that last year;
(k) subject to paragraphs (m) and (n), the taxpayer has a tax avoidance motive in respect of the particular participating interest (and any participating interests of the taxpayer in the particular non-resident entity that are identical to the particular participating interest), only if it is reasonable to conclude that the main reasons for the taxpayer acquiring, holding or having the particular participating interest include
(i) the derivation of a benefit the value of which can reasonably be attributed principally, directly or indirectly, to income derived from investment property, to profits or gains from the disposition of investment property or to an increase in value of investment property, and
(ii) the deferral or reduction of the amount of tax payable on that income or those profits or gains;
(l) in applying paragraph (k) in respect of the particular participating interest, the factors to be considered in determining the existence of a tax avoidance motive include
(i) the nature, organization and operation of
(A) the particular non-resident entity,

(v) the amount of tax that would have been payable by the taxpayer under this Part had the taxpayer earned the income or realized the profits or gains in respect of the investment property referred to in subparagraph (k)(i) at the time that the income was earned, or the profits or gains were realized, by the entities that owned or held the investment property;
(m) the taxpayer does not have a tax avoidance motive in respect of the particular participating interest held by the taxpayer at any time in the particular taxation year if an amount that is all or substantially all of the payable net accounting income
(i) of the particular non-resident entity for each of its taxation years that ends in the particular taxation year becomes payable by it to its interest holders in, or within 120 days after, that taxation year of the particular non-resident entity, and the taxpayer’s share of that amount is included in computing the taxpayer’s income for the taxpayer’s taxation year that includes the time at which the amount became payable, and
(ii) of each other foreign investment entity, in which the particular non-resident entity has a direct or indirect interest, for each of the other entity’s taxation years that ends in the particular taxation year becomes payable by the other entity to its interest holders in, or within 120 days after, that taxation year of the other entity, and the particular non-resident entity’s share of that amount is included in computing its payable net accounting income for its taxation year that includes the time at which the amount became payable;
(n) the taxpayer does not have a tax avoidance motive in respect of the particular participating interest, if throughout the period, in the particular taxation year, during which the taxpayer held the participating interest the particular non-resident entity was a “Regulated Investment Company” for the purposes of sections 851(b) and 852(a) of the United States Internal Revenue Code of 1986 or a “Real Estate Investment Trust” for the purposes of sections 856(c) and 857(b) of that Code and the taxpayer includes, in computing the taxpayer’s income for the particular taxation year, the amount of payable net accounting income that became payable by the particular non-resident entity to the taxpayer in the particular taxation year;
(o) in applying paragraph (d) of the definition “exempt interest” in subsection (1), paragraphs (m) and (n), the definition “mark-to-market formula” in subsection 94.2(1), and subsection 94.4(2), an amount is deemed not to have become payable at any time to an entity or individual, as the case may be, unless it was paid on or before that time to the entity or individual, as the case may be, or the entity or individual, as the case may be, was entitled on or before that time to enforce payment of it;
(p) the definition “exempt property” in subsection (1) does not apply in respect of a property of the particular non-resident entity if the Minister sends a written demand to the taxpayer requesting additional information for the purpose of enabling the Minister to determine whether property is an exempt property, 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 demand;
(q) paragraphs (a) to (c) of the definition “foreign investment entity” in subsection (1) do not apply in respect of the particular non-resident entity if the Minister sends a written demand to the taxpayer requesting additional information for the purpose of enabling the Minister to determine whether the particular non-resident entity is a foreign investment entity, 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 demand;
(r) the definition “qualifying entity” in subsection (1) does not apply if the Minister sends a written demand to the taxpayer requesting additional information for the purpose of enabling the Minister to determine whether an entity is a qualifying entity, 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 demand;
(s) if at any time a taxpayer has a participating interest in a particular foreign investment entity and the taxpayer has at that time a participating interest (referred to in this paragraph as the “indirect participating interest”) in another non-resident entity solely because the particular foreign investment entity has at that time a participating interest in that other non-resident entity, then the indirect participating interest is deemed (other than in applying this paragraph) not to be a participating interest of the taxpayer at that time;
(t) if the taxpayer is an authorized foreign bank, the taxpayer is deemed for the purposes of subsection (4) and of subsections 94.2(5) to (8) and (12), 94.3(4) and 94.4(2) to be resident in Canada throughout the particular taxation year;
(u) the dispositions, if any, in the particular taxation year of the particular participating interest and any participating interests of the taxpayer in the particular non-resident entity that are identical to the particular participating interest are deemed to occur in the order in which those participating interests were acquired (determined without reference to any other provision of this Act) by the taxpayer;
(v) if it can reasonably be considered that one of the main reasons that an entity or individual holds at any time a participating interest in a non-resident entity is to cause the condition in paragraph (a) of the definition “arm’s length interest” in subsection (1) to be met at that time in respect of the participating interest or an identical participating interest held by any entity or individual, the condition is deemed not to have been satisfied at that time in respect of the participating interest or identical participating interest; and
(w) where the particular non-resident entity is a partnership, subparagraph (a)(iii) of the definition “exempt interest” in subsection (1) does not apply in respect of the taxpayer and the particular participating interest if
(i) the Minister sends a written demand to the taxpayer requesting additional information for the purpose of enabling the Minister to determine the application of this section and sections 94.2 to 94.4 to the partnership in respect of a participating interest of the partnership, 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 demand, or
(ii) the taxpayer has elected — by notifying the Minister in writing in the taxpayer’s return of income for the particular taxation year or for a preceding taxation year of the taxpayer — that subparagraph (a)(iii) of the definition “exempt interest” in subsection (1) not apply in respect of the particular participating interest or an identical participating interest held by the taxpayer at any time when the taxpayer held an identical participating interest to which the election applies.
Conditions for application of tax regime for foreign investment entities
(3) This subsection applies to a taxpayer for a particular taxation year of the taxpayer in respect of a participating interest in a non-resident entity if

(4) If subsection (3) or 94.2(9) applies to a taxpayer resident in Canada for a taxation year of the taxpayer in respect of a participating interest and subsections 94.2(3) and 94.3(3) do not apply to the taxpayer for the taxation year in respect of the participating interest, then this subsection applies to the taxpayer for the taxation year in respect of the participating interest and there shall be included (as income from property from a property that is the participating interest) in computing the taxpayer’s income for that taxation year the total of all amounts each of which is the amount, in respect of each month in that taxation year, at the end of which month the taxpayer holds the participating interest, determined by the formula
A × B
where
A      is the designated cost, to the taxpayer of the participating interest, at the end of the month; and
B      is the quotient obtained when the rate of interest prescribed, in respect of amounts required by this Act to be paid by the Minister, for the quarterly period that includes that month is divided by 12.
Loss on disposition of interest — reconciliation
(5) Notwithstanding any other provision of this Act, if, at a particular time in a particular taxation year, a taxpayer disposes of a participating interest of the taxpayer and subsection (4) applied to the taxpayer in respect of the participating interest to include an amount in computing the taxpayer’s income for any taxation year of the taxpayer that began on or before the particular time
(a) there may be deducted in computing the taxpayer’s income for the particular taxation year the lesser of

(B) where the participating interest is an interest in a trust that is not an exempt foreign trust (as defined in subsection 94(1)), the amount that would be determined, at the time of the disposition, to be the capital loss of the taxpayer for the particular taxation year from the disposition of the participating interest if, at the time of the disposition,
(I) the cost to the taxpayer of the participating interest were equal to the amount determined by the formula
A/B × C
where
A      is the amount, if any, by which
(a) the total of all amounts each of which is the cost amount, immediately before the disposition by the taxpayer of the participating interest in the trust, to the trust of a property (referred to in this subclause as a “distributed property”) that was distributed by the trust to the taxpayer as consideration for the disposition by the taxpayer of the participating interest in the trust,

(b) the taxpayer’s capital loss for the taxation year from the disposition of the participating interest is the amount, if any, by which
(i) the amount that would, if this Act were read without reference to this paragraph and subparagraph 40(2)(g)(i), be the taxpayer’s capital loss for the particular taxation year from the disposition of the participating interest
exceeds
(ii) the amount in respect of the participating interest deducted by the taxpayer under paragraph (a) in computing the taxpayer’s income for the particular taxation year.

(c) paragraph (3)(b) does not apply to a taxpayer for a particular taxation year in respect of a participating interest, in a non-resident entity, held in the particular taxation year by the taxpayer if
(i) subsection (3) applied, because of an election under paragraph (3)(b), for a taxation year (referred to in this paragraph as the “preceding taxation year”) that ended before the particular taxation year of the taxpayer in respect of the participating interest (or in respect of any other participating interests, in the non-resident entity, that are identical to the participating interest), and
(ii) subsection (3) did not apply for a taxation year of the taxpayer that was after the preceding taxation year and before the particular taxation year in respect of the participating interest (or in respect of any of the other participating interests);
(d) paragraph (3)(b) does not apply to a taxpayer for a particular taxation year in respect of a participating interest, in a non-resident entity, held in the particular taxation year by the taxpayer if the Minister sends a written demand to the taxpayer requesting additional information for the purpose of enabling the Minister to determine whether the participating interest has a readily obtainable fair market value and information that may reasonably be considered to be satisfactory 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 demand;

(B) the taxpayer has elected that this subsection apply in respect of the participating interest by notifying the Minister in writing in the taxpayer’s return of income filed on or before the taxpayer’s filing due-date for the first taxation year of the taxpayer for which
(I) subsection (9) or 94.1(3), as the case may be, applies to the taxpayer in respect of the participating interest, or
(II) subsection 94.1(3) applies to the taxpayer in respect of the participating interest and that immediately follows a taxation year of the taxpayer for which subsection (9) applied to the taxpayer in respect of the participating interest, and

(b) for the purpose of the definition “deferral amount” in subsection (1), as it applies in respect of dispositions that occur after the particular time and before the first subsequent time to which this subsection applies in respect of the partnership, subsection (4) is deemed not to have applied to the partnership for any preceding fiscal period; and
(c) where a negative deferral amount would, if this Act were read without reference to this paragraph, be determined in respect of a participating interest held by the partnership immediately before the particular time, the deferral amount in respect of the interest is deemed to be nil.
Foreign partnership — member ceasing to be resident
(7) If, at a particular time in a fiscal period of a partnership, a person resident in Canada ceases to be a member of the partnership, or a person who is a member of the partnership ceases to be resident in Canada and immediately after the particular time no member of the partnership is resident in Canada, all amounts determined under this section shall be determined as if that fiscal period ended at the last time in that fiscal period (determined without reference to this subsection) at which a member of the partnership was resident in Canada.
Application of subsections (6) and (7)
(8) In subsections (6) and (7) and this subsection,

(i) are shares of the capital stock of a particular foreign affiliate of the taxpayer that would, if those shares were held by the taxpayer throughout the period (referred to in this subparagraph as the “tracked property period”) that those shares are tracked properties in respect of the par- ticular participating interest, be
(A) throughout the tracked property period, a qualifying interest (within the meaning assigned by paragraph 95(2)(m)) of the taxpayer in the par- ticular foreign affiliate, and
(B) throughout the tracked property period, a participating interest of the taxpayer in a qualifying entity, and

(a) the taxpayer’s cost of the participating interest at any time after the end of the particular taxation year is deemed to be the amount determined by the formula
A + B - C
where
A      is the amount that would, if this Act were read without reference to this section, be determined to be the taxpayer’s cost of the participating interest at the end of the particular taxation year,
B      is the amount, if any, by which the amount determined under subparagraph 94.4(2)(a)(ii) in respect of the taxpayer in respect of the participating interest for the particular taxation year exceeds the amount determined under paragraph 94.4(2)(a) in respect of the taxpayer in respect of the participating interest for the particular taxation year, and

(i) the total of
(A) the amount determined under paragraph 94.4(2)(a) in respect of the taxpayer in respect of the participating interest for the particular taxation year, and
(B) the amount determined under clause 94.4(2)(a)(ii)(B) in respect of the taxpayer in respect of the participating interest for the particular taxation year,
exceeds
(ii) the amount determined under clause 94.4(2)(a)(ii)(A) in respect of the taxpayer in respect of the participating interest for the particular taxation year; and
(b) in computing, at any time after the end of the particular taxation year, the adjusted cost base to the taxpayer of the participating interest, paragraph 94.4(2)(b) shall not apply to the taxpayer in respect of the participating interest.

(13) If a taxpayer’s participating interest in a non-resident entity is disposed of by the taxpayer at a particular time in a taxation year (other than a disposition deemed to arise because of subsection 128.1(4) or 149(10)) and subsection (4) applies for the purpose of computing the taxpayer’s income for the taxation year in respect of the participating interest, the taxpayer’s cost of the participating interest immediately before the particular time is deemed to be (except for the purpose of this section) its fair market value at the particular time.
Deferral amount where same interest reacquired
(14) Subject to subsections (15) to (18), if a taxpayer disposes of a participating interest in an entity at any time in a taxation year of the taxpayer and subsection (4) applies for the purpose of computing the taxpayer’s income for the year in respect of the participating interest, in applying subsection (4) to a disposition after that time by the taxpayer of the participating interest, the deferral amount of the taxpayer in respect of the participating interest is nil.
Deferral amount — fresh start re change of status of entity
(15) If subsection (12) has applied to determine the cost at any particular time after the end of a particular taxation year to a taxpayer of a participating interest, in applying subsection (4) for the purpose of computing the taxpayer’s income in respect of the participating interest for a taxation year that is after the particular taxation year, the deferral amount of the taxpayer in respect of the participating interest shall be determined
(a) for the purpose of subparagraph (a)(iii) of the description of B in the definition “deferral amount” in subsection (1), as if subsection (4) had not applied to the taxpayer in respect of the participating interest for taxation years that began before the particular time; and
(b) without reference to the application of subsection (14) with regard to dispositions that occurred before the particular time.
Deferral amount — fresh start after emigration of taxpayer
(16) If a taxpayer ceases at a particular time to be resident in Canada, in applying subsection (4) to a disposition after the particular time by the taxpayer of a participating interest and to an election made after the particular time by the taxpayer under subparagraph (a)(iii) of the description of D in the definition “mark-to-market formula” in subsection (1) for a taxation year in respect of the participating interest, the deferral amount of the taxpayer in respect of the participating interest shall be determined
(a) for the purpose of subparagraph (a)(iii) of the description of B in the definition “deferral amount” in subsection (1), as if subsection (4) had not applied to the taxpayer in respect of the participating interest for taxation years that began before the particular time; and
(b) without reference to the application of subsection (14) with regard to dispositions that occurred before the particular time.
Deferral amount — fresh start on becoming an exempt taxpayer
(17) If a taxpayer is an exempt taxpayer for a particular taxation year of the taxpayer because of the application of paragraph (a) or (b) of the definition “exempt taxpayer” in subsection 94.1(1), and the taxpayer was not an exempt taxpayer for the taxation year of the taxpayer that preceded the particular taxation year, in applying subsection (4) to a disposition after the particular taxation year by the taxpayer of a participating interest and to an election made after the particular taxation year by the taxpayer under subparagraph (a)(iii) of the description of D in the definition “mark-to-market formula” in subsection (1) for a taxation year in respect of the participating interest, the deferral amount of the taxpayer in respect of the participating interest shall be determined
(a) for the purpose of subparagraph (a)(iii) of the description of B in the definition “deferral amount” in subsection (1), as if subsection (4) had not applied to the taxpayer in respect of the participating interest for taxation years that ended before the particular taxation year; and
(b) without reference to the application of subsection (14) with regard to dispositions that occurred before the particular taxation year.
Superficial dispositions
(18) If a taxpayer disposes of a participating interest, the deferral amount in respect of the participating interest would otherwise be a negative amount, and the disposition would, if the participating interest were a capital property and a loss arose on the disposition, give rise to a superficial loss (within the meaning that would be assigned by section 54 if the definition “superficial loss” in that section were read without the reference to subsection 40(3.4) in paragraph (h) of that definition),
(a) except for the purpose of applying paragraph (b) in respect of the disposition, the deferral amount of the taxpayer in respect of the participating interest is deemed to be nil; and
(b) the deferral amount of the taxpayer in respect of the property that would be the substituted property referred to in that definition if the assumptions described in this subsection applied is deemed to be equal to the deferral amount of the taxpayer in respect of the participating interest.
Determination of capital dividend account
(19) If an amount has been included or deducted under paragraph (4)(a) in computing the income of a corporation resident in Canada for a taxation year in respect of a participating interest, in computing the capital dividend account of the corporation
(a) the corporation is deemed to have
(i) a capital gain from a disposition at the end of the taxation year of property equal to twice the amount of the taxable capital gain determined under subparagraph (ii), and
(ii) a taxable capital gain from the disposition at the end of the taxation year of property equal to the lesser of
(A) the positive amount, if any, that is the amount determined for D in applying the definition “mark-to-market formula” in subsection (1) for the taxation year in respect of the participating interest (where the gross-up factor for the deferral amount in respect of the participating interest is 2), and
(B) the amount included in computing the income of the corporation for the taxation year under subsection (4); and
(b) the corporation is deemed to have
(i) a capital loss from a disposition at the end of the taxation year of property equal to twice the amount of the allowable capital loss determined under subparagraph (ii), and
(ii) an allowable capital loss from the disposition at the end of the taxation year of property equal to the lesser of
(A) the absolute value of the negative amount, if any, that is the amount determined for D in applying the definition “mark-to-market formula” in subsection (1) for the taxation year in respect of the participating interest (where the gross-up factor for the deferral amount in respect of the participating interest is 2), and
(B) the amount deducted in computing the income of the corporation for the taxation year under subsection (4).
Application of paragraph (4)(b)
(20) This subsection applies for a taxation year of a taxpayer in respect of a participating interest, in a particular non-resident entity, held in the taxation year by the taxpayer, if
(a) the participating interest would, if paragraph 39(1)(a) and the definition “inventory” in subsection 248(1) were read without reference to this section, be a capital property of the taxpayer at the last time in the taxation year at which the taxpayer held the participating interest; and
(b) all or substantially all of the amount determined under the “mark-to-market formula” for the taxation year in respect of the participating interest can be attributed to
(i) capital gains or capital losses from the disposition of capital property (other than a participating interest in a foreign investment entity) by the particular non-resident entity or by any foreign investment entity in which the particular non-resident entity has a direct or indirect interest, and
(ii) increases or decreases in the fair market value of capital property (other than a participating interest in a foreign investment entity) of the particular non-resident entity or of any foreign investment entity in which the particular non-resident entity has a direct or indirect interest.
Disposition of interest — reconciliation
(21) If a taxpayer’s participating interest in a non-resident entity is disposed of by the taxpayer at a particular time in a particular taxation year, and subsection (4) applies for the purpose of computing the taxpayer’s income for the particular taxation year in respect of the participating interest, in computing that income
(a) where subsection (20) does not apply for the particular taxation year, and has never applied for a preceding taxation year, in respect of the participating interest,
(i) there may be deducted, as a loss from property from a property that is the participating interest, the positive reconciliation amount, if any, at that time in respect of the participating interest, and
(ii) there shall be included, as income from property from a property that is the participating interest, the absolute value of the negative reconciliation amount, if any, at that time in respect of the participating interest; and
(b) in any other case,
(i) the taxpayer is deemed to have a capital loss for the particular taxation year from the disposition of capital property that is the participating interest in the particular taxation year equal to the positive recon- ciliation amount, if any, at that time in respect of the participating interest, and
(ii) the taxpayer is deemed to have a capital gain for the particular taxation year from the disposition of capital property that is the participating interest in the particular taxation year equal to the absolute value of the negative reconciliation amount, if any, at that time in respect of the participating interest.

(ii) the amount determined under subparagraph (b)(ii) in respect of the taxpayer and the participating interest for the preceding taxation year; and
(b) there may be deducted, as a loss from a property that is the participating interest, the lesser of

Application of subsection (5) — disposition of property

To extent section 68 applies — capital gain election

(a) to the extent that the consideration that can reasonably be regarded as being in part the consideration for the restrictive covenant granted by the taxpayer is received or receivable by one or more non arm’s length individuals and taxpayers in which one or more non arm’s length individuals hold, directly or indirectly, an interest (in this subsection referred to as the “allocable portion”), section 68 applies only to that allocable portion;
(b) a joint election may be filed in prescribed form by the taxpayer and each non arm’s length individual and other taxpayer referred to in paragraph (a) to deem the portion of the allocable portion that would otherwise be considered by section 68 to be received or receivable in a taxation year by the taxpayer for granting the restrictive covenant to be received or receivable in the taxation year by the taxpayer as a goodwill amount, if paragraph (7)(g) has not been satisfied, or as proceeds of disposition from the disposition of capital property, if paragraph (8)(e) has not been satisfied;

(c.1) if paragraph (b) applies to deem consideration to be received or receivable in a taxation year by the taxpayer and the consideration is actually received or receivable by another taxpayer — referred to in that paragraph — that is a corporation, partnership or trust, that consideration is deemed to have been received by the corporation, partnership or trust, as the case may be, as an agent of the taxpayer if it is transferred to taxpayer within 180 days from the date of receipt; and
(d) for greater certainty, the outlay to the purchaser for the goodwill amount referred to in subsection (7), or the cost of the shares of the target corporation referred to in subsection (8), as the case may be, does not differ from the amount that those amounts would have been if subsection (7) or (8) had applied to all of the consideration paid or payable by the purchaser to the non arm’s length individuals and other taxpayers referred to in paragraph (b) for the goodwill amount or capital stock of the target corporation, as the case may be.
Anti-avoidance rule — non-application of paragraph (3)(c)
(10) Paragraph (3)(c) does not apply to an amount that would, if this Act were read without reference to subsections (2) to (15), be included in computing a taxpayer’s income from a source that is an office or employment or a business or property under paragraph 3(a).
Anti-avoidance — non-application of subsections (7), (8) and (9)
(11) Subsections (7), (8) and (9) do not apply in respect of a taxpayer’s grant of a restrictive covenant if one of the results of not applying section 68 to the consideration received or receivable in respect of the taxpayer’s grant of the restrictive covenant would be that paragraph 3(a) would not apply to consideration that would, if this Act were read without reference to subsections (2) to (15), be included in computing a taxpayer’s income from a source that is an office or employment or a business or property.
Clarification if subsection (2) applies — where another person receives the amount

Clarification if subsection (5) applies
(13) For greater certainty, if subsection (5) applies in respect of a restrictive covenant granted by a taxpayer
(a) the amount referred to in paragraph (6)(f) is to be added in computing the amount received or receivable by the vendors as consideration for the disposition of the interest referred to in paragraph (6)(b);
(b) the amount that could reasonably be regarded as consideration referred to in subparagraph (7)(d)(i) or (ii), as the case may be, is to be added in computing
(i) the amount that is required by the description of E in the definition “cumulative eligible capital” in subsection 14(5) to be included in computing the cumulative eligible capital of a business carried on by the vendor through a permanent establishment located in Canada, or
(ii) the amount that is required by the description of E in the definition “cumulative eligible capital” in subsection 14(5) to be included in computing the cumulative eligible capital of a business carried on by the eligible corporation through a permanent establishment located in Canada; and
(c) the amount that can reasonably be regarded as being in part consideration for a restrictive covenant received or receivable to which subsection (5) applies because of subsection (8) is to be added in computing the consideration
(i) if subparagraph (8)(c)(i) applies, that is received or receivable by the vendor from the disposition of the property, and
(ii) if subparagraph (8)(c)(ii) applies, that is received or receivable by each taxpayer who disposes of shares of the target corporation to the extent that consideration is received or receivable by each such other taxpayer.
Filing of prescribed form
(14) For the purpose of paragraphs (3)(b) and (c), (7)(h) and (9)(b) an election in prescribed form filed under any of those provisions is to include a copy of the restrictive covenant and be filed

(b) the transferor of the property establishes to the satisfaction of the Minister that the transfer was made with the intention to make a gift.
Eligible amount of gift or monetary contribution
(31) 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.
Amount of advantage
(32) The amount of the advantage in respect of a gift or monetary contribution by a taxpayer is the total of
(a) 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

Repayment of limited-recourse debt
(34) 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:
(a) 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
(i) 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,
exceeds
(ii) the total of
(A) the eligible amount of the original gift, and
(B) 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
(b) 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
(i) 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,
exceeds
(ii) the total of
(A) the eligible amount of the original monetary contribution, and
(B) 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.
Deemed fair market value
(35) For the purposes of subsection (31), paragraph 69(1)(b) and subsections 110.1(2.1) and (3) and 118.1(5.4) and (6), 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, of the property to the taxpayer immediately before the gift is made if
(a) the taxpayer acquired the property under a gifting arrangement that is a tax shelter as defined in subsection 237.1(1); or
(b) except where the gift is made as a consequence of the taxpayer’s death,
(i) the taxpayer acquired the property less than 3 years before the day that the gift is made, or
(ii) 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.
Non-arm’s length transaction
(36) If a taxpayer acquired a property 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.
Non-application of subsection (35)
(37) Subsection (35) does not apply to a gift

(i) the share was issued by the corporation to the donor,
(ii) 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
(iii) 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;
(f) by a corporation of property if
(i) the property was acquired by the corporation in circumstances to which subsection 85(1) or (2) applied,
(ii) 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

Artificial transactions
(38) 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
(a) one of the purposes of which is to avoid the application of subsection (35) to a gift of any property; or
(b) that would, if this Act were read without reference to this paragraph, result in a tax benefit to which subsection 245(2) applies.
Substantive gift
(39) 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 provincial division of 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:
(a) 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;
(b) 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
(c) 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).

(a) 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) shall be 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,
(b) each such person who has an interest or right in the property immediately after that time shall be 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,
(c) each such person who had an interest or a right in the property immediately before that time shall be 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,
(d) each such person who has an interest or a right in the property immediately after that time shall be 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
(e) paragraphs (a) to (d) do not apply where 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,
and, for the purposes of this subsection, where an interest or a right in the property is an undivided interest or right, the fair market value of the interest or right at any time shall be deemed to be equal to that proportion of the fair market value of the property at that time that the interest or right is of all the undivided interests or rights in the property.
Subdivision of property
(21) Where a property that was owned by two or more persons is the subject of a partition among those persons and, as a consequence thereof, 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,
(a) subsection (20) does not apply to the property, and
(b) the new interest or right of each such person shall be deemed to be a continuation of that person’s undivided interest or right in the property immediately before the partition,
and, for the purposes of this subsection,
(c) 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
(d) where 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.
(15) The portion of subsection 248(23.1) of the Act before paragraph (a) is replaced by the following:
Transfers after death
(23.1) Where, 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:
279. Subparagraphs 253(c)(ii) and (iii) of the Act are replaced by the following:
(ii) property (other than depreciable property) that is a timber resource property, an option in respect of a timber resource property or an interest in, or for civil law a right in, a timber resource property, or
(iii) property (other than capital property) that is real or immovable property situated in Canada, including an option in respect of such property or an interest in, or for civil law a real right in, such property, whether or not the property is in existence,
