ceases to be used by a taxpayer for the
purpose of earning income from a capital
property (other than real property or
depreciable property), and
|
|
|
(b) the amount of the borrowed money that
was so used by the taxpayer immediately
before that time exceeds the total of
|
|
|
(i) where the taxpayer disposed of the
property at that time for an amount of
consideration that is not less than the fair
market value of the property at that time,
the amount of the borrowed money used
to acquire the consideration,
|
|
|
(ii) where the taxpayer disposed of the
property at that time and subparagraph (i)
does not apply, the amount of the
borrowed money that, if the taxpayer had
received as consideration an amount of
money equal to the amount by which the
fair market value of the property at that
time exceeds the amount included in the
total by reason of subparagraph (iii),
would be considered to be used to acquire
the consideration,
|
|
|
(iii) where the taxpayer disposed of the
property at that time for consideration
that includes a reduction in the amount of
the borrowed money, the amount of the
reduction, and
|
|
|
(iv) where the taxpayer did not dispose of
the property at that time, the amount of
the borrowed money that, if the taxpayer
had disposed of the property at that time
and received as consideration an amount
of money equal to the fair market value
of the property at that time, would be
considered to be used to acquire the
consideration,
|
|
|
an amount of the borrowed money equal to the
excess shall, to the extent that the amount is
outstanding after that time, be deemed to be
used by the taxpayer for the purpose of earning
income from the property.

|
Borrowed
money used to
earn income
from business
|
(2) Where at any particular time after 1993
a taxpayer ceases to carry on a business and,
as a consequence, borrowed money ceases to
be used by the taxpayer for the purpose of
earning income from the business, the
following rules apply:
|
|
|
(a) where, at any time (in this paragraph
referred to as the ``time of disposition'') at
or after the particular time, the taxpayer
disposes of property that was last used by
the taxpayer in the business, an amount of
the borrowed money equal to the lesser of
|
|
|
(i) the fair market value of the property at
the time of disposition, and
|
|
|
(ii) the amount of the borrowed money
outstanding at the time of disposition that
is not deemed by this paragraph to have
been used before the time of disposition
to acquire any other property
|
|
|
shall be deemed to have been used by the
taxpayer immediately before the time of
disposition to acquire the property;
|
|
|
(b) subject to paragraph (a), the borrowed
money shall, after the particular time, be
deemed not to have been used to acquire
property that was used by the taxpayer in
the business;
|
|
|
(c) the portion of the borrowed money
outstanding at any time after the particular
time that is not deemed by paragraph (a) to
have been used before that subsequent time
to acquire property shall be deemed to be
used by the taxpayer at that subsequent time
for the purpose of earning income from the
business; and
|
|
|
(d) the business shall be deemed to have
fiscal periods after the particular time that
coincide with the taxation years of the
taxpayer, except that the first such fiscal
period shall be deemed to begin at the end
of the business's last fiscal period that
began before the particular time.
|
|
Deemed
dispositions
|
(3) For the purpose of paragraph (2)(a),
|
|
|
(a) where a property was used by a taxpayer
in a business that the taxpayer has ceased to
carry on, the taxpayer shall be deemed to
dispose of the property at the time at which
the taxpayer begins to use the property in
another business or for any other purpose;
|
|
|
(b) where a taxpayer, who has at any time
ceased to carry on a business, regularly used
a property in part in the business and in part
for some other purpose,
|
|
|
(i) the taxpayer shall be deemed to have
disposed of the property at that time, and
|
|
|
(ii) the fair market value of the property
at that time shall be deemed to equal the
proportion of the fair market value of the
property at that time that the use
regularly made of the property in the
business was of the whole use regularly
made of the property; and
|
|
|
(c) where the taxpayer is a trust,
subsections 104(4) to (5.2) do not apply.
|
|
Amount
payable for
property
|
(4) Where an amount is payable by a
taxpayer for property, the amount shall be
deemed, for the purposes of this section and,
where subsection (2) applies with respect to
the amount, for the purposes of this Act, to be
payable in respect of borrowed money used by
the taxpayer to acquire the property.
|
|
Interest in
partnership
|
(5) For the purposes of this section, where
borrowed money that has been used to acquire
an interest in a partnership is, as a
consequence, considered to be used at any
time for the purpose of earning income from
a business or property of the partnership, the
borrowed money shall be deemed to be used
at that time for the purpose of earning income
from property that is the interest in the
partnership and not to be used for the purpose
of earning income from the business or
property of the partnership.
|
|
Refinancings
|
(6) Where at any time a taxpayer uses
borrowed money to repay money previously
borrowed that was deemed by
paragraph (2)(c) immediately before that
time to be used for the purpose of earning
income from a business,

|
(a) paragraphs (2)(a) to (c) apply with
respect to the borrowed money; and
