CHAPTER 16:
Section 22: Purchaser must include in income the difference between the face amount and the amounts paid
(FMV < Cost; vendor includes bus. loss & FMV > Cost; purchaser includes bus. income)
(FMV < Amt Paid; purchaser includes bus. loss & FMV > Amt Paid; purchaser includes bus. income)
- Purchaser can deduct a reasonable reserve & any bad debts for doubtful debts on A/R purchased
- Vendor (regardless of S.22) must add reserve to income; S.22 causes it to be a business loss instead of capital loss
- Joint Election, to be eligible must dispose (substantially) all assets to purchaser who carries on the business
NO Section 22: A/R considered capital property & any loss on sale is a capital loss; denied if sold to affiliated corp.
(FMV < Cost; vendor includes capital loss & FMV > Cost; purchaser includes capital gain)
(FMV < Amt Paid; purchaser includes capital loss & FMV > Amt Paid; purchaser includes capital gain)
- Purchaser NOT eligible to claim a reserve or AFDA on acquired A/R since previously not included
Without Section 85: Transfer of property to corp. will give rise to a disposition with proceed = FMV resulting in Inc. & CG
NO Benefit to Transferring under S.85: Property with terminal loss and capital loss because no income to defer
Recommended: Sell the property at FMV and take back debt as consideration for the sale
NOTE: Transferring property with terminal loss & capital loss to affiliated corp. is denied
If transferor corp., trust or partnership: Terminal loss kept in UCC class of transferor until transferee sells to third party
Capital loss retained by transferor & recognized when sold to third party
If transferor individual: Terminal loss kept in UCC class of transferor until transferee sells to third party (same as corp.)
Capital loss added to the ACB of the property held by the transferee
Affiliated: Corporation affiliated with individual transferor if the corp. controlled by individual or individuals spouse
Corp. Affiliated with three types of persons: 1) person by whom the corp. is controlled
2) each member of affiliated group by which corp. is controlled
3) spouse of a person in either of the first two categories
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------Section 85 Rollover: -Tax-free rollover of property to a corporation but MUST accept shares as part of the consideration
- Taxpayer (person, corp., trust and a partnership) can elect to rollover eligible property to taxable CND corp.
-Transferor will be S/E of the corp. after the transfer & same economic position as before transfer
- ACB of the shares should be equal to the ACB of the property transferred
- Cost of property transferred would be equal to the Elected Amount, NO half year rule & remains in same class
If non-arms length; restricts step-up of original capital cost of depreciable property to the taxable capital gain
- Joint Election between transferor and transferee that must be filed with earlier tax return of either transferor/transferee
QSBC: CCPC in which all or substantially all (90%) of the FMV of assets (incl. un recorded goodwill) were

Situation # 4i: Property transferred in is less
- result in benefit/income inclusion to the transferor
than the consideration received by the transferor
- Common reason: BOOT > FMV
(FMV in < FMV out)
Elected transfer price must equal to the FMV of asset
The cost of property transferred. in cannot exceed FMV of asset

Elected amt increased by benefit to trigger income on transfer (only taxable) redo part (d) with same boot
Deemed dividend = elected amt + benefit LESS PUC
Cap gain/loss = elected amt + benefit LESS deemed dividend = POD LESS ACB
f) Max debt* that can be received without realizing any income under s86 is amt of PUC of old share
Reduced PUC = LSC increase for new shares LESS (PUC of old shares less Boot*) = PUC reduction
ACB of new shares: ACB of old shares LESS FMV of Boot
Deemed dividends = FMV of Boot LESS Reduced PUC = Proceeds on redemption LESS PUC of old shares
Cap Gain/Loss = Boot + ACB of new/all shares LESS deemed dividends = POD LESS ACB of old shares
Section 84.1 (Dividend Stripping): 4 main criteria to apply
PUC Reduction:
* Shares being transferred here instead of property
Increase in LSC of purchaser corp.
1. Disposition must be made by a taxpayer resident in
Less:
Canada other than a corporation
Greater of PUC & ACB of transferred shares 2. The subject shares (i.e. shares being transferred) must
Less: FMV of BOOT
be shares of a corp. resident in CND and must be capital
Excess, if any:
property to the taxpayer
Total PUC reduction of all shares
3. Disposition of shares are to a corp. which the taxpayer
Deemed Dividend Calculation:
does not deal at arms length (i.e. non-arms length) AND Sum of:
4. The subject corp.(i.e. transferor) must be connected (H)
- Increase in LSC of purchaser corp.
with the purchaser after the disposition
- FMV of BOOT
Connected Corporation (H): REFER TO CHP. 15 NOTES
x
Less sum of 1+2
* If all 4 criteria are met then this section would reclassify a
1) Greater of PUC & ACB of transferred shares capital gain into a deemed dividend which is taxed differently
2) PUC Reduction
Equals Deemed Dividend
NOTE: If all 4 criteria are met BUT the FMV of BOOT is not
greater than the greater of PUC & ACB of transferred shares NOTE: ACB of new shares = Elected Amt - BOOT
then Section 84.1 will NOT apply in triggering a deemed
dividend BUT it would still be in effect S 84.1 PUC
NOTE: S.85 PUC reduction formula will NOT apply at
the same time as the S.84.1 PUC reduction formula
reduction formula would apply and NOT S.85 formula
Section 55(2) (Capital Gains Stripping which is opposite of Dividend Stripping by Section 84.1:
Prevent a S/E from converting a capital gain on the disposition of shares into a intercompany tax-free
dividend
Will apply to ANY dividend received by a corp. as part of a series of transaction that resulted in a disposition
of ANY property to an unrelated person
Also applies where unrelated person gained significant increase in ownership interest in the corp. receiving
div.
Key Signals: dividend has occurred / dividend part of series of transaction / main purpose was to effect a significant
reduction in the potential capital gain / dividend is followed by the disposition of shares to arms length party
Chapter 17:
Section 85.1: Exchange shares of one corp. for shares of another; tax deferred (no election required)
Used in a business combination or take-over; S/E of one corp. exchanges his/her share of purchasing corp.
Conditions: - transferred shares of the vendor to the purchaser must be capital property (NOT inventory)
- purchaser MUST be Canadian corp. and dealing with vendor at arms length immediately prior to exchange
- ONLY consideration given by the purchaser for exchanged shares; MUST be previously unissued shares
- after exchange; vendor along with non-arms length persons, MUST not control or own > 50% of FMV of purchaser
- no S.85 filed & vendor cannot have realized any portion of potential CG of exchanged shares through other provision
Result: Vendor disposed of shares at ACB and reacquired the purchaser shares for the same amount
PUC of shares acquired is limited to the PUC of the shares given up
NOTE: S.85 (1) election can be made as an alternative and collect boot up to elected amt. (i.e. PUC) but this
alternative may not be feasible when exchange involves widely disposed share holding held by many diverse S/E
Section 86 (Internal Reorganization): Involves issuance
1) Issuance of new shares:
of new shares and redemption or cancellation of old shares
I) PUC (new shares) = PUC* (old shares) - BOOT
Conditions: May involve non-share consideration (BOOT)
II) ACB (new shares) = ACB* (old shares) BOOT
- Redemption of shares with requirement of new shares
*Treat PUC & ACB as elected amounts under S.85
- shares are capital property to the S/E
2) Redemption of old shares:
- ALL shares of particular class owned by S/E are exchanged I) 84 (3) Deemed Div.:
- property received by S/E on exchange includes shares
Proceed = BOOT + PUC (new shares)
Result: Deferral of any accrued gains on shares held
Proceed PUC (old shares) = Deemed Dividend
