79. Subsection 300(2) of the Regulations is replaced by the following:
(2) For the purposes of this section, if the continuance of the annuity payments under a contract depends in whole or in part on the survival of an individual,
(a) the total of the payments expected to be made under the contract is
(i) in the case of a contract that provides for equal payments and does not provide for a guaranteed period of payment, to be equal to the product obtained by multiplying the total of the annuity payments expected to be received throughout a year under the contract by the complete expectations of life determined
(A) using the table of mortality known as the 1971 Individual Annuity Mortality Table as published in Volume XXIII of the Transactions of the Society of Actuaries, if the annuity rates in respect of the contract were fixed and determined before 2017, and
(I) annuity payments under the contract commenced before 2017, or
(II) on December 31, 2016, the contract would be a prescribed annuity contract if paragraph 304(1)(c) were read without reference to its subparagraph (i) and the contract cannot be terminated other than on the death of an individual on whose life payments under the contract are contingent, and
(B) in any other case, using the table of mortality known as the Annuity 2000 Basic Table as published in the Transactions of Society of Actuaries, 1995–96 Reports, and

(b) the age of the individual on any particular date as of which a calculation is being made is
(i) if the life insured was determined by the insurer that issued the contract to be a substandard life at the time the contract was issued and the Annuity 2000 Basic Table as published in the Transactions of Society of Actuaries, 1995–96 Reports applies to determine the total of the payments expected to be made under the contract, the age that is equal to the total of the age used for the purpose of determining the annuity rate under the policy at the date of issue of the contract and the number determined by subtracting the calendar year in which the contract was issued from the calendar year in which the particular date occurs, and
(ii) in any other case, determined by subtracting the calendar year of the individual’s birth from the calendar year in which the particular date occurs; and
(c) if, in the event of the death of the individual before the annual payments total a stated sum, the contract provides that the unpaid balance of the stated sum is to be paid in a lump sum or instalments, then for the purpose of determining the expected term of the contract, the contract is deemed to provide for the continuance of the payments under the contract for a minimum term certain equal to the nearest whole number of years required to complete the payment of the stated sum.

(i) if the policy is issued before 2017, it is reasonable to expect that the condition in paragraph (a) will be met on each policy anniversary of the policy on which the policy could remain in force after that time and before the endowment date of the exemption test policies issued in respect of the policy, and
(ii) if the policy is issued after 2016, it is reasonable to expect — without reference to any automatic adjustments under the policy that may be made after that time to ensure that the policy is an exempt policy and, where applicable, making projections using the most recent values that are used to calculate the accumulating fund in respect of the policy or in respect of each exemption test policy issued in respect of a coverage under the policy, as the case may be — that the condition in paragraph (a) will be met on the policy’s next policy anniversary;
(2) Subsections 306(3) and (4) of the Regulations are replaced by the following:
(3) For the purposes of this section and section 307,

(i) unless the particular time when the policy is issued is determined under subsection 148(11) of the Act and the coverage was issued before the particular time, on the date of
(A) issue of the life insurance policy, if the coverage is issued before the first policy anniversary of the life insurance policy,
(B) issue of the coverage, if the coverage is issued on a policy anniversary of the life insurance policy, or
(C) the life insurance policy’s preceding policy anniversary, if the coverage is issued on any date that is after the policy’s first policy anniversary and that is not a policy anniversary,

(A) the amount of the benefit on death under the coverage on that policy anniversary
exceeds
(B) 108% of the amount of the benefit on death under the coverage, on the later of the coverage’s date of issue and the date of the life insurance policy’s preceding policy anniversary (or, if there is no preceding policy anniversary, the coverage’s date of issue), and

(A) the amount by which the fund value benefit under the life insurance policy on that policy anniversary exceeds the fund value benefit under the life insurance policy on the life insurance policy’s preceding policy anniversary (or, if there is no preceding policy anniversary, the date of issue of the policy)
exceeds
(B) the amount by which
(I) 8% of the amount of the benefit on death under the life insurance policy on the life insurance policy’s preceding policy anniversary (or, if there is no preceding policy anniversary, the date of issue of the policy)
exceeds
(II) the total of all amounts each of which is, in respect of a coverage under the policy, the lesser of
1. the amount by which the amount of the benefit on death under the coverage on that policy anniversary exceeds the amount of the benefit on death under the coverage on the later of the coverage’s date of issue and the date of the life insurance policy’s preceding policy anniversary (or, if there is no preceding policy anniversary, the coverage’s date of issue), and
2. 8% of the amount of the benefit on death under the coverage on the later of the coverage’s date of issue and the date of the life insurance policy’s preceding policy anniversary (or, if there is no preceding policy anniversary, the coverage’s date of issue).
(4) Subject to subsection (10), for the purpose of determining whether the condition in paragraph (1)(a) is met on a policy anniversary of a life insurance policy, each exemption test policy issued in respect of the life insurance policy, or in respect of a coverage under the life insurance policy, is deemed
(a) to have a benefit on death that is uniform throughout the term of the exemption test policy and that, subject to subsection (5), is equal to
(i) if the date on which the exemption test policy is issued is determined by subparagraph (3)(a)(i), the amount by which the amount on that policy anniversary of the benefit on death under the life insurance policy exceeds the total of all amounts each of which is the amount, if any, on that policy anniversary of the benefit on death under another exemption test policy issued on or before that policy anniversary in respect of the life insurance policy,
(ii) if the date on which the exemption test policy is issued is determined by subparagraph (3)(a)(ii), the amount of the excess referred to in that subparagraph on that date in respect of the life insurance policy,
(iii) if the date on which the exemption test policy is issued is determined by subparagraph (3)(b)(i), the amount determined by the formula
A + B – C
where
A      is the amount on that policy anniversary of the benefit on death under the coverage,
B      is
(A) if the benefit on death under the life insurance policy includes a fund value benefit on that policy anniversary, the portion of the fund value benefit on that policy anniversary that is equal to the lesser of
(I) the maximum amount of the fund value benefit that could be payable on that policy anniversary if no other coverage were offered under the life insurance policy and the life insurance policy were an exempt policy, and
(II) the amount by which the fund value benefit on that policy anniversary exceeds the total of all amounts each of which is the portion of the fund value benefit allocated to other coverages under the life insurance policy, and

(A) the amount by which the amount determined under clause (3)(b)(iii)(A) exceeds the amount determined under clause (3)(b)(iii)(B) on that date in respect of the coverage, and
(B) the amount determined in respect of the coverage under subclause (A)(I) of the description of B in subparagraph (iii) on that date; and
(b) to pay the amount of its benefit on death on the earlier of
(i) if the life insurance policy
(A) is issued before 2017, the date of death of the individual whose life is insured under the life insurance policy, or
(B) is issued after 2016,
(I) if two or more lives are jointly insured under the coverage, the date at which the benefit would be payable as a result of the death of any of the lives, and
(II) in any other case, the date of death of the individual whose life is insured under the coverage, and
(ii) the exemption test policy’s endowment date.
(5) Subject to subsection (10), for the purpose of determining the amount of a benefit on death under an exemption test policy,
(a) if the exemption test policy is issued in respect of a life insurance policy issued before 2017 and at any time the amount of a benefit on death under the life insurance policy is reduced, a particular amount that is equal to the reduction is to be applied at that time to reduce the amount of the benefit on death under each exemption test policy issued before that time in respect of the life insurance policy (other than the exemption test policy the date of issue of which is determined under subparagraph (3)(a)(i)) in the order in which the dates of their issuance are proximate to that time, by an amount equal to the lesser of
(i) the portion, if any, of the particular amount not applied to reduce the benefit on death under one or more other such exemption test policies, and
(ii) the amount, immediately before that time, of the benefit on death under the relevant exemption test policy; and
(b) if the exemption test policy is issued in respect of a coverage under a life insurance policy issued after 2016 and at any time there is a particular reduction in the amount of a benefit on death under the coverage, or the portion, if any, of the fund value benefit referred to in clause (A) of the description of B in subparagraph (4)(a)(iii) in respect of the coverage, the amount of the benefit on death under each exemption test policy issued before that time in respect of the coverage (other than the exemption test policy the date of issue of which is determined under subparagraph (3)(b)(i)) is reduced at that time by an amount equal to the least of
(i) the particular reduction,
(ii) the amount, immediately before that time, of the benefit on death under the relevant exemption test policy, and
(iii) the portion, if any, of the particular reduction not applied to reduce the benefit on death under one or more other such exemption test policies issued on or after the date of issue of the relevant exemption test policy.
(6) Subsection (7) applies at any time in respect of a life insurance policy if
(a) that time is on its tenth or a later policy anniversary;
(b) the accumulating fund (computed without regard to any amount payable in respect of a policy loan) in respect of the policy at that time exceeds 250% of the accumulating fund (computed without regard to any amount payable in respect of a policy loan) in respect of the policy on its third preceding policy anniversary; and
(c) where that time is after 2016,
(i) the accumulating fund (computed without regard to any amount payable in respect of a policy loan) in respect of the policy at that time exceeds the total of all amounts each of which is
(A) if the policy is issued before 2017, 3/20 of the accumulating fund, at that time, in respect of an exemption test policy issued in respect of the policy, and
(B) if the policy is issued after 2016, 3/8 of the accumulating fund, at that time, in respect of an exemption test policy issued in respect of a coverage under the policy, and
(ii) subsection (7) did not apply on any of the policy’s six preceding policy anniversaries.
(7) If this subsection applies at any time in respect of a life insurance policy, each exemption test policy issued before that time in respect of the life insurance policy is at and after that time deemed to be issued (except for purposes of this subsection, paragraph (4)(a) and subsection (5))
(a) on the later of
(i) the date of the third preceding policy anniversary described in paragraph (6)(b) in respect of the policy, and
(ii) the date on which it was deemed by subsection (3) to be issued (determined immediately before that time); and
(b) not at any other time.
(8) A life insurance policy that would, in the absence of this subsection, cease (other than by reason of its conversion into an annuity contract) on a policy anniversary of the policy to be an exempt policy is deemed to be an exempt policy on that policy anniversary if
(a) had that policy anniversary occurred on the particular day that is 60 days after that policy anniversary, the policy would have been an exempt policy on the particular day; or
(b) the person whose life is insured under the policy dies on that policy anniversary or within 60 days after that policy anniversary.
(9) A life insurance policy (other than an annuity contract or deposit administration fund policy) issued before December 2, 1982 is deemed to be an exempt policy at all times from the date of its issue until the first time after December 1, 1982 at which
(a) a prescribed premium is paid by a taxpayer in respect of an interest, last acquired before December 2, 1982, in the policy; or
(b) an interest in the policy is acquired by a taxpayer from the person who held the interest continuously since December 1, 1982.
(10) If a particular time when a life insurance policy is issued has been determined under subsection 148(11) of the Act, in applying subsections (4) and (5) at or after the particular time to an exemption test policy issued before the particular time in respect of the policy,
(a) subparagraphs (4)(a)(iii) and (iv), and not subparagraph (4)(a)(i) or (ii), apply to the exemption test policy; and
(b) for greater certainty, paragraph (5)(b), and not paragraph (5)(a), applies to the exemption test policy.

(i) the amount, if any, by which the cash surrender value of the taxpayer’s interest at that time exceeds the amount payable, if any, in respect of a loan outstanding at that time made under the contract in respect of the interest, and
(ii) the amount, if any, by which
(A) the present value at that time of future payments to be made out of the contract in respect of the taxpayer’s interest
exceeds
(B) the total of

(c) an exemption test policy issued in respect of a life insurance policy issued before 2017,
(7) The portion of subsection 307(2) of the Regulations after clause (c)(ii)(A) is replaced by the following:

(iii) notwithstanding subparagraphs (i) and (ii), no rate of interest used for the purpose of determining the accumulating fund in respect of an exemption test policy issued in respect of the life insurance policy is to be less than
(A) if the life insurance policy is issued after April 1985, 4% per annum, and

(iv) each amount of a benefit on death is to be determined net of any portion in respect of the benefit on death of the exemption test policy related to a segregated fund; and
(d) an exemption test policy issued in respect of a coverage under a life insurance policy issued after 2016,
(i) the rates of interest and mortality used and the age of the individual whose life is insured under the coverage are to be the same as those used in computing amounts under paragraph 1401(1)(c) in respect of the policy, and
(ii) each amount of a benefit on death is to be determined net of any portion in respect of the benefit on death of the exemption test policy related to a segregated fund.
(8) Subsections 307(3) and (4) of the Regulations are repealed.

(a) if, determined at the end of the year, the policy was issued before 2017, the amount determined by the formula
A × (B – C)
where
A is the probability, computed on the basis of the rates of mortality under the 1969–75 mortality tables of the Canadian Institute of Actuaries published in Volume XVI of the Proceedings of the Canadian Institute of Actuaries, or on the basis described in subsection (1.1), that an individual who has the same relevant characteristics as the individual whose life is insured will die in the year,
B is the benefit on death in respect of the interest at the end of the year, and
C is the accumulating fund (determined without regard to any amount payable in respect of the policy loan) in respect of the interest at the end of the year or the interest’s cash surrender value at the end of the year, depending on the method regularly followed by the life insurer in computing amounts under this subsection; and
(b) if, determined at the end of the year, the policy was issued after 2016, the total of all amounts each of which is an amount determined in respect of a coverage in respect of the interest by the formula
A × (B – C)

E      is the portion, in respect of the coverage in respect of the interest, of the amount that would be determined, on that policy anniversary, for paragraph (a) of the description of C in the definition “net premium reserve” in subsection 1401(3) in respect of the coverage, if the benefit on death under the coverage, and the fund value of the coverage, on that policy anniversary were equal to the benefit on death under the coverage and the fund value of the coverage, respectively, at the end of the year.
(1.1) If premiums for a life insurance policy do not depend directly on smoking or sex classification, the probability referred to in paragraph (1)(a) may be determined using rates of mortality otherwise determined, provided that for each age for the policy, the expected value of the aggregate net cost of pure insurance, calculated using those rates of mortality, is equal to the expected value of the aggregate net cost of pure insurance, calculated using the rates of mortality under the 1969–75 mortality tables of the Canadian Institute of Actuaries published in Volume XVI of the Proceedings of the Canadian Institute of Actuaries.
(1.2) If premiums or costs of insurance charges for a coverage under a life insurance policy do not depend directly on smoking or sex classification, the probability referred to in paragraph (1)(b) may be determined using rates of mortality otherwise determined, provided that for each age for the coverage, the expected value of the aggregate net cost of pure insurance, calculated using those rates of mortality, is equal to the expected value of the aggregate net cost of pure insurance, calculated using the rates of mortality that would be calculated under paragraph (1)(b) in respect of the coverage using the mortality tables described in paragraph 1401(4)(b).
84. (1) The definition “benefit on death” in section 310 of the Regulations is replaced by the following:
“benefit on death”
« prestation de décès »
“benefit on death” has the same meaning as in subsection 1401(3).
(2) Section 310 of the Regulations is amended by adding the following in alphabetical order:
“adjusted purchase price”
« prix d’achat rajusté »
“adjusted purchase price”, of a taxpayer’s interest in an annuity contract at any time, means, subject to subsections 300(3) and (4), the amount that would be determined at that time in respect of the interest under the definition “adjusted cost basis” in subsection 148(9) of the Act if the formula in that definition were read without reference to K.

(ii) in any other case, the later of
(A) the earlier of
(I) 15 years after the date of issue of the exemption test policy, and

(ii) mortality rates are to be used;
(b) in determining the mortality rates that apply to a life insured under a coverage under the policy,
(i) if a single life is insured under the coverage,
(A) the age that is to be used is the age of the life insured at the time at which the coverage was issued, or that which is attained on the birthday of the life insured nearest to the time at which the coverage was issued, depending on the method used by the insurer that issued the policy in determining the premium or cost of insurance rates in respect of the life insured,
(B) if the life insured was determined by the insurer that issued the policy to be a standard life at the time the coverage was issued, the Proposed CIA Mortality Tables, 1986–1992 included in the May 17, 1995 Canadian Institute of Actuaries Memorandum, extended to include select mortality rates from age 81 to age 90 developed using the methodology used by the Canadian Institute of Actuaries to derive select mortality rates from age 71 to age 80, applicable for an individual who has the same relevant characteristics as the life insured, are to be used, and
(C) if the life insured was determined by the insurer that issued the policy to be a substandard life at the time the coverage was issued, the mortality rates that apply are to be equal to, depending on the method used by the insurer for the purpose of determining the premium or cost of insurance rates in respect of the coverage,
(I) the lesser of one and the product of the rating attributed to the life by the insurer and the mortality rates that would be determined under clause (B) if the life were not a substandard life, or
(II) the mortality rates that would have been determined under clause (B) had the life insured been a standard life and the age of the life insured been the age used by the life insurer for the purpose of determining the premium or cost of insurance rates in respect of the coverage, and
(ii) if two or more lives are jointly insured under the coverage, the mortality rates to be used are those determined by applying the methodology used by the insurer that issued the policy to estimate the mortality rates of the lives jointly insured for the purpose of determining the premium or cost of insurance rates in respect of the coverage to the Proposed CIA Mortality Tables, 1986–1992 included in the May 17, 1995 Canadian Institute of Actuaries Memorandum, extended to include select mortality rates from age 81 to age 90 developed using the methodology used by the Canadian Institute of Actuaries to derive select mortality rates from age 71 to age 80; and
(c) in determining the net premium reserve in respect of the policy, the present value of future net premiums or cost of insurance charges is to be calculated as if a premium or cost of insurance charge payable or incurred on a policy anniversary were payable or incurred, as the case may be, one day after the policy anniversary.
(5) In applying paragraph (1)(c) for the purposes of subsection 211.1(3) of the Act in respect of a life insurance policy (other than an annuity contract)

(ii) subparagraph (1)(c)(i) is to be read without reference to “determined without reference to surrender charges”, and
(iii) in determining the net premium reserve in respect of the policy, the present value of future net premiums or cost of insurance charges is to be calculated as if a premium or cost of insurance charge payable or incurred on a policy anniversary were payable or incurred, as the case may be, one day after the policy anniversary; and
(b) if the policy is issued before 2017 and at a particular time after 2016 life insur-ance — in respect of a life, or two or more lives jointly insured, and in respect of which a particular schedule of premium or cost of insurance rates applies — is converted (other than only because of a change in premium or cost of insurance rates) into another type of life insurance under the policy or is added to the policy, then that insurance is deemed to be a separate life insurance policy issued at the particular time unless
(i) the insurance is part of a rider deemed by subsection 211(2) of the Act to be a separate life insurance policy issued at the particular time, or
(ii) in the case of insurance added to the policy,
(A) the insurance is medically underwritten
(I) to obtain a reduction in the premium or cost of insurance rates under the policy, or
(II) before 2017, or
