Exceptions (4) Subsection (2) does not apply in respect of a disposition if, (a) the cost amount of the property to the transferee is greater than the taxpayer’s proceeds of disposition of the property, as otherwise determined, by reason only of the operation of paragraph 88 (1) (c) or 98 (3) (b) of the Income Tax Act (Canada) or a comparable provision of the laws of another province in which the transferee, or if the transferee is a partnership, one or more of its members, has a permanent establishment; (b) in the case where the taxpayer is a corporation, the percentage of the taxpayer’s taxable income, for the taxation year in which the taxpayer disposes of the property, that is not deemed, or would not be deemed if the taxpayer had had taxable income for that year, to be earned outside Ontario for the purposes of section 39, is less than or equal to, (i) if the transferee is a corporation, the percentage of the transferee’s taxable income for the taxation year in which the transferee disposed of the property, that is not deemed, or would not be deemed if the transferee had had taxable income for that year, to be earned outside Ontario for the purposes of section 39, or (ii) if the transferee is a partnership, the percentage of the transferee’s income, for the fiscal period in which the transferee disposed of the property, that would not be deemed to be earned outside Ontario for the purposes of section 39, if the partnership were a corporation, the fiscal period were its taxation year and it had had income for the fiscal period; or (c) in the case where the taxpayer is a partnership, the percentage of the taxpayer’s income, for the fiscal period in which the taxpayer disposed of the property, that would not be deemed to be earned outside Ontario for the purposes of section 39, if the partnership were a corporation, the fiscal period were its taxation year and it had had income for the fiscal period, is less than or equal to the percentage of the transferee’s taxable income, for the taxation year in which the transferee disposed of the property, that is not deemed, or would not be deemed if the transferee had had taxable income for that year, to be earned outside Ontario for the purposes of section 39. 1997, c. 43, Sched.

A, s. 4 (1); 2004, c. 16, s. 2 (2). Application of subs. (5) (6) Subsection (5) applies in respect of an acquisition of property if, (a) the transferor does not deal at arm’s length with the taxpayer at or immediately after the time of the acquisition; (b) the cost amount of the property to the taxpayer, as otherwise determined under this Act, is greater than the amount of the transferor’s deemed proceeds of disposition of the property as determined under the laws of a province other than Ontario in which the transferor or, if the transferor is a partnership, one or more of its members, has a permanent establishment; (c) the property, or other property the fair market value of which is derived primarily from the property or other property acquired by any person other than the taxpayer in substitution for the property, is subsequently disposed of to another person or partnership; and (d) it is reasonable to believe that a purpose of the disposition of the property to the taxpayer prior to the disposition of the property by the taxpayer to another person was to reduce the total amount of income tax payable to one or more provinces in respect of the two dispositions to an amount that would be less than the amount of provincial income tax that would have been payable if the taxpayer’s cost amount of the property for the purposes of this Act had equalled the greater of, (i) the transferor’s cost amount of the property under the Income Tax Act (Canada) immediately before the disposition to the taxpayer, and (ii) the transferor’s cost amount of the property under the laws of another province immediately before the disposition to the taxpayer. 1997, c. 43, Sched. A, s. 4 (1); 2004, c. 16, s. 2 (2). Exceptions (7) Subsection (5) does not apply in respect of an acquisition of a property if, (a) the cost amount of the property to the taxpayer is greater than the transferor’s proceeds of disposition of the property, as otherwise determined, by reason only of the operation of paragraph 88 (1) (c) or 98 (3) (b) of the Income Tax Act (Canada), as applicable for the purposes of this Act; (b) in the case where the taxpayer is a corporation, the percentage of the taxpayer’s taxable income, for the taxation year in which the taxpayer acquires the property, that is not deemed, or would not be deemed if the taxpayer had had taxable income for that year, to be earned outside Ontario for the purposes of section 39, is less than or equal to, (i) if the transferor is a corporation, the percentage of the transferor’s taxable income, for the taxation year in which the transferor disposed of the property, that is not deemed, or would not be deemed if the transferor had had income for that year, to be earned outside Ontario for the purposes of section 39, or (ii) if the transferor is a partnership, the percentage of the transferor’s income, for the fiscal period in which the transferor disposed of the property, that would not be deemed to be earned outside Ontario under the rules prescribed for the purposes of section 39, if the partnership were a corporation, the fiscal period were its taxation year and it had had income for the fiscal period; or (c) in the case where the taxpayer is a partnership, the percentage of the taxpayer’s income, for the fiscal period in which the taxpayer acquired the property, that would not be deemed to be earned outside Ontario under the rules prescribed for the purposes of section 39 if the partnership were a corporation, the fiscal period were its taxation year and it had had income for the fiscal period, is less than or equal to the percentage of the transferor’s taxable income, for the taxation year in which the transferor disposed of the property, that is not deemed, or would not be deemed if the transferor had had taxable income for that year, to be earned outside Ontario for the purposes of section 39 or, if the transferor is an individual, is deemed, or would be deemed if the transferor had had taxable income for that year, to be earned in Ontario under rules prescribed in the regulations made under the Income Tax Act (Canada). 1997, c. 43, Sched. A, s. 4 (1); 2004, c. 16, s. 2 (2). Section not applicable (8) This section does not apply to a disposition or an acquisition of property if, (a) the property is, (i) depreciable property that was included in Class 3 of Schedule II to the regulations made under the Income Tax Act (Canada) and was acquired after November 12, 1981 and before October 25, 1985 by the transferor, (ii) depreciable property referred to in subclause (i) that was acquired from a related corporation, and the difference between the cost amount of the property for the purposes of this Act and the cost amount of the property for the purposes of the Income Tax Act (Canada) can be primarily attributed to the fact that subsection 1100 (2) of the regulations made under that Act that applied for the purposes of that Act after November 12, 1981 did not apply for the purposes of this Act before October 25, 1985, or (iii) a foreign resource property; (b) the rules or conditions prescribed by the regulations have been satisfied; or (c) an election is made under subsection 29.1 (4) or 31.1 (4) in respect of the disposition, or could have been made if those subsections had been enacted and in force. 1997, c. 43, Sched. A, s. 4 (1); 2004, c. 16, s. 2 (2). Section Amendments with date in force (d/m/y) 1997, c. 43, Sched. A, s. 4 (1, 2) - 20/12/1996 2004, c. 16, s. 2 (2) - 01/01/2004 Anti-avoidance of provincial tax 5.2 (1) Except as otherwise provided in this section, if a corporation deducts or claims an amount under a provision of this Act, or of the Income Tax Act (Canada) as it applies for the purposes of this Act, that is less than the maximum amount the corporation may deduct or claim in determining its income or taxable income for the taxation year, or fails to deduct or claim any amount under the provision for the taxation year, the corporation shall be deemed to deduct or claim an amount under the provision in determining its income or taxable income, as the case may be, for the taxation year, in addition to the amount, if any, that it has deducted or claimed under the provision, equal to the amount, if any, by which the lesser of “A” and “B” exceeds “C”, where, “A” is the greatest amount that may be deducted or claimed by the corporation under the provision in determining its income or taxable income under this Act for the taxation year, “B” is the greatest of the amounts deducted or claimed by the corporation under the corresponding provisions of the laws of other provinces in computing its income or taxable income for the taxation year under the laws of the other provinces, and “C” is the amount, if any, that the corporation deducted or claimed under the provision for the taxation year before the application of this subsection. 1998, c. 34, s. 27 (1); 1999, c. 9, s. 73 (1); 2004, c. 16, s. 2 (2).

Same (2) Subsection (1) does not apply to a corporation for a taxation year unless the following conditions are satisfied: 1. The corporation’s Ontario allocation factor for a subsequent taxation year, within the meaning of subsection 12 (1), is at least 20 per cent greater than the corporation’s Ontario allocation factor for the taxation year. 2. The amount that would be the corporation’s income or taxable income for the taxation year, determined under this Act before the deduction of any amount deemed by subsection (1) to be deducted or claimed under the provision referred to in that subsection, is greater than the corporation’s income or taxable income, as the case may be, for the taxation year determined under the law of a province other than Ontario because the corporation deducted or claimed a greater amount in determining its income or taxable income under the corresponding provision of the law of the other province. 3. The total amount of all income tax that would be payable by the corporation to one or more provinces for all taxation years commencing with the taxation year and ending with the subsequent taxation year, determined before the deduction of any amount deemed to be claimed or deducted under subsection (1) for the taxation year, is less than the total amount of provincial income tax that would be payable by the corporation for those taxation years, determined after the deduction of the amount deemed to be claimed or deducted under subsection (1) and after all consequential adjustments are made to the corporation’s income and taxable income for those taxation years that would be required by reason of the increase required by subsection (1) in the total amount deducted or claimed under the provision for the taxation year. 1998, c. 34, s. 27 (1); 2004, c. 16, s. 2 (2). Limitation (3) The maximum amount that a corporation is deemed to deduct or claim for a taxation year by virtue of subsection (1) under the provisions of this Act, or of the Income Tax Act (Canada) as they apply for the purposes of this Act, shall not exceed the amount that would be the corporation’s taxable income for the taxation year under this Act before any amount is deemed to be deducted or claimed under this section for the taxation year. 1998, c. 34, s. 27 (1); 2004, c. 16, s. 2 (2). Partnerships (4) If a corporation is a member of a partnership during a taxation year, subsections (1), (2) and (3) apply with necessary modifications in determining the corporation’s share of the income or loss of the partnership for a fiscal period ending in the taxation year. 1998, c. 34, s. 27 (1); 2004, c. 16, s. 2 (2). Amalgamation and winding-up (5) For the purposes of this section, (a) a corporation that is formed as a result of an amalgamation or merger of two or more corporations shall be deemed to be the same corporation as, and a continuation of, each of the corporations that amalgamated or merged; and (b) a corporation that is a parent for the purposes of subsection 88 (1) of the Income Tax Act (Canada), or would be a parent if it were a taxable Canadian corporation, shall be deemed to be the same corporation as, and a continuation of, each corporation that, if it were a taxable Canadian corporation, would be described as a subsidiary in that subsection, after the winding-up of the subsidiary. 1999, c. 9, s. 73 (3); 2004, c. 16, s. 2 (2). Same (6) Subsection (5) applies in respect of amalgamations, mergers and windings-up of corporations during a taxation year that begins on or after the day that subsection comes into force. 1999, c. 9, s. 73 (3); 2004, c. 16, s. 2 (2). Section Amendments with date in force (d/m/y) 1998, c. 34, s. 27 (1, 2) - 18/12/1998; 1999, c. 9, s. 73 (1, 2) - 18/12/1998; 1999, c. 9, s. 73 (3) - 14/12/1999 2004, c. 16, s. 2 (2) - 01/01/2004 Tax avoidance, special reserves Definition 5.3 (1) In this section, “specified reserve” means, in relation to a corporation, an amount claimed as a deduction in determining income under Part II under any of the following provisions of the Income Tax Act (Canada) as they apply for the purposes of Part II, or under the comparable provisions of the laws of a province that impose a tax calculated by reference to the corporation’s income: 1. Paragraphs 20 (1) (l), (l.1), (m), (m.1), (n) and (o). 2. Subsection 26 (2). 3. Subsection 32 (1). 4. Clauses 40 (1) (a) (iii) (C) and (D). 5. Subparagraphs 138 (3) (a) (i), (ii) and (iv). 6. Such other provisions as may be prescribed by regulation. 1999, c. 9, s. 74; 2004, c. 16, s. 2 (2). Anti-avoidance, provincial tax (2) The amount of a specified reserve claimed by a corporation in determining its income under Part II for a taxation year shall be deemed to be the amount determined under subsection (4) if the conditions set out in subsection (3) are satisfied. 1999, c. 9, s. 74; 2004, c. 16, s. 2 (2). When applicable (3) Subsection (2) applies to a corporation for a taxation year if the following conditions are satisfied: 1. The amount of the specified reserve claimed by the corporation is greater than the amount of the specified reserve that it claims for the purposes of determining its income under the laws of another province that impose a similar tax calculated by reference to the corporation’s income or for the purposes of determining the amount of its income under the Income Tax Act (Canada), or the corporation does not claim any amount in respect of the specified reserve in determining its income for the purposes of the income tax laws of another province or under the Income Tax Act (Canada). 2. The corporation’s Ontario allocation factor, as defined in subsection 12 (1), for a subsequent taxation year is at least 20 per cent less than its Ontario allocation factor for the taxation year, or would be at least 20 per cent less if the corporation had tax payable under Part II for the taxation year and subsequent taxation years. 3. It is reasonable to consider that the primary reason that the corporation is claiming different amounts of the specified reserve is to reduce the amount of income taxes payable to one or more provinces over the course of one or more taxation years. 4. The total amount of income tax payable by the corporation under this Act and under the income tax laws of other provinces for the period that includes the taxation year and subsequent taxation years would be less if subsection (2) did not apply. 1999, c. 9, s. 74; 2004, c. 16, s. 2 (2). Amount deemed to be claimed (4) If subsection (2) applies to a corporation for a taxation year in respect of a specified reserve claimed by the corporation, the amount the corporation is deemed to have claimed for the taxation year is the lesser of, (a) the least of the amounts claimed by the corporation as the specified reserve for the same taxation year in determining the amount of its income for the purposes of the income tax laws of another province or under the Income Tax Act (Canada); or (b) nil, if no specified reserve is claimed by the corporation for the taxation year in determining the amount of its income for the purposes of the income tax laws of another province or under the Income Tax Act (Canada). 1999, c. 9, s. 74; 2004, c. 16, s. 2 (2). Partnerships (5) If a corporation is a member of a partnership during a taxation year, subsections (1), (2), (3) and (4) apply with necessary modifications in determining the corporation’s share of the income or loss of the partnership for a fiscal period ending in the taxation year. 1999, c. 9, s. 74; 2004, c. 16, s. 2 (2). Amalgamation and winding-up (6) For the purposes of this section, (a) a corporation that is formed as a result of an amalgamation or merger of two or more corporations shall be deemed to be the same corporation as, and a continuation of, each of the corporations that amalgamated or merged; and (b) a corporation that is a parent for the purposes of subsection 88 (1) of the Income Tax Act (Canada), or would be a parent if it were a taxable Canadian corporation, shall be deemed to be the same corporation as, and a continuation of, each corporation that, if it were a taxable Canadian corporation, would be described as a subsidiary in that subsection, after the winding-up of the subsidiary. 1999, c. 9, s. 74; 2004, c. 16, s. 2 (2). Application (7) This section applies with respect to a corporation’s taxation years that end on or after the day this section comes into force. 1999, c. 9, s. 74; 2004, c. 16, s. 2 (2).
