|
82. (1) The Act is amended by adding the
following after section 107.3:
|
|
Qualifying
disposition
|
107.4 (1) For the purpose of this section, a
``qualifying disposition'' of a property means
a disposition of the property by a person or
partnership (in this subsection referred to as
the ``contributor'') as a result of a transfer of
the property to a particular trust where
|
|
|
(a) the disposition does not result in a
change in the beneficial ownership of the
property;
|
|
|
(b) the proceeds of disposition would, if this
Act were read without reference to this
section and sections 69 and 73, not be
determined under any provision of this Act;
|
|
|
(c) if the particular trust is non-resident, the
disposition is not
|
|
|
(i) by a person resident in Canada or by
a partnership (other than a partnership
each member of which is non-resident),
or
|
|
|
(ii) a transfer of taxable Canadian
property from a non-resident person who
was resident in Canada in any of the ten
calendar years preceding the transfer;
|
|
|
(d) the contributor is not a partnership, if the
disposition is part of a series of transactions
or events that begin after December 17,
1999 that includes the cessation of the
partnership's existence and a subsequent
distribution from a personal trust to a
former member of the partnership in
circumstances to which subsection 107(2)
applies;
|
|
|
(e) unless the contributor is a trust, there is
immediately after the disposition no
absolute or contingent right of a person or
partnership (other than the contributor or,
where the property was co-owned, each of
the joint contributors) as a beneficiary
(determined with reference to subsection
104(1.1)) under the particular trust;
|
|
|
(f) the contributor is not an individual (other
than a trust described in any of paragraphs
(a) to (e.1) of the definition ``trust'' in
subsection 108(1)), if the particular trust is
described in any of paragraphs (a) to (e.1)
of the definition ``trust'' in subsection
108(1);
|
|
|
(g) the disposition is not part of a series of
transactions or events
|
|
|
(i) that begins after December 17, 1999
and that includes the subsequent
acquisition, for consideration given to a
personal trust, of a capital interest or an
income interest in the trust,
|
|
|
(ii) that begins after December 17, 1999
and that includes the disposition of all or
part of a capital interest or an income
interest in a personal trust, other than a
disposition solely as a consequence of a
distribution from a trust to a person or
partnership in satisfaction of all or part of
that interest, or
|
|
|
(iii) that begins after June 5, 2000 and
that includes the transfer to the particular
trust of particular property as
consideration for the acquisition of a
capital interest in the particular trust, if
the particular property can reasonably be
considered to have been received by the
particular trust in order to fund a
distribution (other than a distribution that
is proceeds of disposition of a capital
interest in the particular trust);
|
|
|
(h) the disposition is not, and is not part of,
a transaction
|
|
|
(i) that occurs after December 17, 1999,
and
|
|
|
(ii) that includes the giving to the
contributor, for the disposition, of any
consideration (other than consideration
that is an interest of the contributor as a
beneficiary under the particular trust or
that is the assumption by the particular
trust of debt for which the property can,
at the time of the disposition, reasonably
be considered to be security);
|
|
|
(i) subsection 73(1) does not apply to the
disposition and would not apply to the
disposition if
|
|
|
(i) no election had been made under that
subsection, and
|
|
|
(ii) section 73 were read without
reference to subsection 73(1.02); and
|
|
|
(j) if the contributor is an amateur athlete
trust, a cemetery care trust, an employee
trust, an inter vivos trust deemed by
subsection 143(1) to exist in respect of a
congregation that is a constituent part of a
religious organization, a related segregated
fund trust (as defined by section 138.1), a
trust described in paragraph 149(1)(o.4) or
a trust governed by an eligible funeral
arrangement, an employees profit sharing
plan, a registered education savings plan or
a registered supplementary unemployment
benefit plan, the particular trust is the same
type of trust.
|
|
Application of
paragraph
(1)(a)
|
(2) For the purpose of paragraph (1)(a),
|
|
|
(a) except where paragraph (b) applies,
where a trust (in this paragraph and
subsection (2.1) referred to as the
``transferor trust''), in a period that does not
exceed one day, disposes of one or more
properties in the period to one or more other
trusts, there is deemed to be no resulting
change in the beneficial ownership of those
properties if
|
|
|
(i) the transferor trust receives no
consideration for the disposition, and
|
|
|
(ii) as a consequence of the disposition,
the value of each beneficiary's beneficial
ownership at the beginning of the period
under the transferor trust in each
particular property of the transferor trust
(or group of two or more properties of the
transferor trust that are identical to each
other) is the same as the value of the
beneficiary's beneficial ownership at the
end of the period under the transferor
trust and the other trust or trusts in each
particular property (or in property that
was immediately before the disposition
included in the group of identical
properties referred to above); and
|
|
|
(b) where a trust (in this paragraph referred
to as the ``transferor'') governed by a
registered retirement savings plan or by a
registered retirement income fund transfers
a property to a trust (in this paragraph
referred to as the ``transferee'') governed by
a registered retirement savings plan or by a
registered retirement income fund, the
transfer is deemed not to result in a change
in the beneficial ownership of the property
if the annuitant of the plan or fund that
governs the transferor is also the annuitant
of the plan or fund that governs the
transferee.
|
|
Fractional
interests
|
(2.1) For the purpose of applying paragraph
(2)(a) in respect of a transfer by a transferor
trust of property that includes a share and
money, the other trust or trusts referred to in
that paragraph may receive, in lieu of a
transfer of a fractional interest in a share that
would otherwise be required, a
disproportionate amount of money or interest
in the share (the value of which does not
exceed the lesser of $200 and the fair market
value of the fractional interest).
|
|
Tax
consequences
of qualifying
dispositions
|
(3) Where at a particular time there is a
qualifying disposition of a property by a
person or partnership (in this subsection
referred to as the ``transferor'') to a trust (in
this subsection referred to as the ``transferee
trust''),

|
|
(a) the transferor's proceeds of disposition
of the property are deemed to be
|

writing and files the election with the
Minister on or before the transferor's
filing-due date for its taxation year that
includes the particular time, or at any
later time that is acceptable to the
Minister, the amount specified in the
election that is not less than the cost
amount to the transferor of the property
immediately before the particular time
and not more than the fair market value
of the property at the particular time, and
|
|
|
(ii) in any other case, the cost amount to
the transferor of the property
immediately before the particular time;
|
|
|
(b) except as otherwise provided under

|
(i) the proceeds determined under
paragraph (a) in respect of the qualifying
disposition
|
|
|
|
|
|
(ii) the amount by which the transferor's
loss otherwise determined from the
qualifying disposition would be reduced
because of subsection 100(4), paragraph
107(1)(c) or (d) or any of subsections
112(3) to (4.2), if the proceeds
determined under paragraph (a) were
equal to the fair market value of the
property at the particular time;
|
|
|
(c) notwithstanding subsection 206(4), for
the purposes of Part XI and regulations
made for the purposes of that Part, the
transferee trust's cost of the property is
deemed to be
|
|
|
(i) the cost amount to the transferor

at the particular time where
|
|
|
(A) subparagraph (iii) does not apply,

and
|
|
|
(C) it can reasonably be considered
that the election was not made for the
purpose of avoiding tax under Part XI,
|
|
|
(iii) the fair market value of the property
at the particular time where
|
|
|
(A) subparagraph (i) does not apply to
the qualifying disposition,

of paragraph 20(1)(a),
|
|
|
(i) the capital cost of the property to the

sections 14, 20 and 24,
|
|
|
(A) the eligible capital expenditure of
the transferee trust in respect of the
property is deemed to be the amount

|
|
|
(I) before the particular time, and
|
|
|
(II) after the adjustment time of the

business, and
|
|
|
(ii) for the purpose of determining after
the particular time the amount required
by paragraph 14(1)(b) to be included in
computing the transferee trust's income
in respect of any subsequent disposition
of the property of the business, there shall
be added to the value otherwise
determined for Q in the definition
``cumulative eligible capital'' in
subsection 14(5) the amount determined
by the formula
|
|
|
A x (B/C)
|
|
|
|
|
|
A is the amount, if any, determined for
Q in that definition in respect of the
business of the transferor
immediately before the particular
time,
|
|
|
B is the fair market value of the
property immediately before the
particular time, and
|
|
|
C is the fair market value immediately
before the particular time of all
eligible capital property of the
transferor in respect of the business;
|
|
|
(f) if the property was deemed to be taxable
Canadian property of the transferor by this
paragraph or paragraph 51(1)(f), 85(1)(i) or
85.1(1)(a), subsection 87(4) or (5) or
paragraph 97(2)(c) or 107(2)(d.1), the
property is deemed to be taxable Canadian
property of the transferee trust;
|
|
|
(g) where the transferor is a related
segregated fund trust (in this paragraph
having the meaning assigned by section
138.1),
|
|
|
(i) paragraph 138.1(1)(i) does not apply
in respect of a disposition of an interest in
the transferor that occurs in connection
with the qualifying disposition, and
|
|
|
(ii) in computing the amount determined
under paragraph 138.1(1)(i) in respect of
a subsequent disposition of an interest in
the transferee trust where the interest is
deemed to exist in connection with a
particular life insurance policy, the
acquisition fee (as defined by subsection
138.1(6)) in respect of the particular
policy shall be determined as if each
amount determined under any of
paragraphs 138.1(6)(a) to (d) in respect
of the policyholder's interest in the
transferor had been determined in respect
of the policyholder's interest in the
transferee trust;
|
|
|
(h) if the transferor is a trust to which
property had been transferred by an
individual (other than a trust),
|
|
|
(i) where subsection 73(1) applied in
respect of the property so transferred and
it is reasonable to consider that the
property was so transferred in
anticipation of the individual ceasing to
be resident in Canada, for the purposes of
paragraph 104(4)(a.3) and the
application of this paragraph to a
disposition by the transferee trust after
the particular time, the transferee trust is
deemed after the particular time to be a
trust to which the individual had
transferred property in anticipation of the
individual ceasing to reside in Canada
and in circumstances to which subsection
73(1) applied, and
|
|
|
(ii) for the purposes of paragraph (j) of
the definition ``excluded right or
interest'' in subsection 128.1(10) and the
application of this paragraph to a
disposition by the transferee trust after
the particular time, where the property so
transferred was transferred in
circumstances to which this subsection
would apply if subsection (1) were read
without reference to paragraphs (1)(h)
and (i), the transferee trust is deemed
after the particular time to be a trust an
interest in which was acquired by the
individual as a consequence of a
qualifying disposition;
|
|
|
(i) if the transferor is a trust (other than a
personal trust or a trust prescribed for the
purposes of subsection 107(2)), the
transferee trust is deemed to be neither a
personal trust nor a trust prescribed for the
purposes of subsection 107(2);
|
|
|
(j) if the transferor is a trust and a taxpayer
disposes of all or part of a capital interest in
the transferor because of the qualifying
disposition and, as a consequence, acquires
a capital interest or part of it in the
transferee trust
|
|
|
(i) the taxpayer is deemed to dispose of
the capital interest or part of it in the
transferor for proceeds equal to the cost
amount to the taxpayer of that interest or
part of it immediately before the
particular time, and
|
|
|
(ii) the taxpayer is deemed to acquire the
capital interest or part of it in the
transferee trust at a cost equal to the
amount, if any, by which
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
(B) the amount by which the
taxpayer's loss otherwise determined
from the disposition referred to in
subparagraph (i) would be reduced
because of paragraph 107(1)(c) or (d)
if the proceeds under that
subparagraph were equal to the fair
market value of the capital interest or
part of it in the transferor immediately
before the particular time;
