Taxable Income XXX

1.Taxable Dividend: ITA 112A dividend included in the Division B income is deductible in computing its taxable income. To be deductible under Division C, the dividend must be from:

1. taxable Canadian corporation, 2. Taxable subsidiary corporation resident in Canada,3. Non-resident corporation carrying on a business in Canada, and 4. Dividend from foreign affiliate.

The purpose of the deduction is to prevent double taxation of corporate income, since the dividend is paid from retained earning, after tax amount.

2.Charitable Donation: ITA 110.1- Corporations are permitted to deduct donations under Division C in

computing taxable income. Generally, donations are deducted equal to 75% of the corporation’s net income under Division B.

- If the gift was capital property, the donation would be deductible 100% of the - taxable capital gain.

- If the gift was depreciable property, the donation would be deductible 100% CCA recapture.

- The unused donation for a given year can be carried forward five years to be deducted in a carried forward year. The carried forward amount and the current year donation must meet the 75% limitation in the year.

Page 3: Chapter 11 - Computation of Taxable Income and Tax

3.Loss carryovers: ITA 111(1)There are various kinds of losses.1. Net capital loss2. Non- capital loss3. Restricted Farm loss4. Farm loss5. Limited Partnership loss

Net Capital loss (Net CL):Net CL for a corporation is the excess of Allowable Capital Loss (ACL)excluding losses on LPP and ABIL over Taxable Capital Gain(TCG) including taxable net gain from LPP.Net CL = ACL – LPP – ABIL - TCG LPP - subject to $1,000 floor rule

-ACL on LPP can only be deducted against the TCG on LPP- The excess ACL on LPP can be carried back to 3 year and forward 7 years

The following table provides loss carry over period for net and non capital losses:Back Forward

Net Capital loss 3 IndefinitelyNon capital loss: Before March 23, 2004 3 7March 23, 2004 – December 31, 2005 3 10After December 31, 2005 3 20

Allowable Business Investment Loss (ABIL)- It is a capital loss arising from an arm’s length disposition of shares

or/and debt, establishing to be bad , or on bankruptcy action- one –half of the business investment loss is known as allowable business

investment loss- ABIL, in the year of loss, can be deductible against any source of income- The unabsorbed ABIL will be treated as non-capital loss and carried over

accordingly (3 years back and 20 years forward)- Further, if there is any unabsorbed ABIL, it will be treated as Net CL and

carried forward indefinitely.

Example 1:

Corp A sold 2 pieces of lands in 2008. The required information is as follows:Land 1 Land 2

ACB $60,000 $100,000P of D $80,000 $ 50,000

a)What is the tax consequences on the sales of both lands?b)If the P of D of land 2 is $90,000, What would be the tax consequences?

Application of Net CL:- Net CL must be applied against to the of TCG in the year.- If the inclusion rate of the Net CL was different than the inclusion rate of

the current year, the Net CL must be converted to the Net CL based on inclusion rate for the current year.

- The historical inclusion rate:Prior to 1988 50%1988 - 1989 66.67%1990 - Feb 27 2000 75%Feb`28 - Oct 17, 2000 66.67%After Oct 17, 2000 50%

Income from business operation $ 66,625Income from foreign property 7, 175Dividend from Canadian Corp 12,300

Par. 3(b) Net taxable capital gain 30,750Income under Division B 116,850

During the year the corporation made charitable donation of $80,000. Its carry forward position from previous years was as follows:

Charitable donation 10,250Non-capital loss 61,500net capital loss – 1999 41,000

Required:

Page 5: Chapter 11 - Computation of Taxable Income and Tax

Compute the taxable income for 2008.

Non-Capital loss:- Non capital loss can be applied against any source of income but is time-

restricted. - Non capital loss can be increased by the amount of any Net CL deducted

in the year.Ordering loses: 111(3) ITA

- A taxpayer must deduct a loss of a particular type in a chronological order as follows:1. Non capital loss2. Net capital loss3. Restricted farm loss4. Farm loss

Page 15: Chapter 11 - Computation of Taxable Income and Tax

Required:

(A) Calculate Canadian manufacturing and processing profits for the company in 2010.

(B)Calculate the manufacturing and processing profit deduction for 2010 assuming that the company is not eligible for small business deduction.

6.General Rate reduction: ITA 123.4(2)A corporate taxpayer can deduct an amount from corporation’s tax otherwise payable. The amount is calculated as product obtained by multiplying the corporate general rate percentage by the corporation’s full-rate taxable income for the taxation year.

GRR = Full rate taxable Income x General rate reduction percentage

The General rate percentage for 2010 is 10%

The full rate taxable income is computed as follows:For CCPC:Taxable IncomeLess: M&P Profit

7.Foreign Tax Credits:Where a Canadian corporation earns income either from business or investment from foreign country, it must pay taxes according to the tax laws of the country. The taxpayer who pays taxes to taxing authority in a country will be eligible for tax credit in Canada to eliminate double taxation.

Non-business foreign Tax Deduction(NBFT): ITA 126(1)Where a taxpayer has non-business income such as interest income from another country and has paid foreign income or profit taxes to the government of the country, the taxpayer may take a deduction from Canadian tax as follows:

Lesser of:

Adj.Div B income x Taxes otherwise Payable

Adjusted Div B income:The amounts to be subtracted from division B income of a corporation are:

1. The claims for Net Capital Loss carried over because they directly offset taxable capital gain (ITA 111(1)(b)

2. The amount of taxable dividend received and deductible and3. The amount of dividend received from a foreign affiliate and deductible

Tax otherwise Payable: ITA 126(7)Tax otherwise payable for NBFT is computed as follows:

Basic corporation tax - 38%Plus: ARTLess: Federal AbatementLess: General rate reduction

Example 8:Pub Corp. determined that the income for tax purposes was of $472,000 for the year ended December 31, 2008. The additional information:Interest received from US corp. net ($3,000 withheld) 17,000Interest received from UK corp. net ($1,500 withheld) 8,500Business income net (withholding tax 9,800) France 18,200Donation 20,000Dividend from taxable Canadian corporation 52,000Taxable income earned in a province 375,000

Page 17: Chapter 11 - Computation of Taxable Income and Tax

Where a corporation resident in Canada carries on a business on unincorporated basis, the taxes paid on income or profit to the government other than Canada is eligible for deduction. The business foreign tax deduction is computed as follows:The least of:

(d)The total of business income tax paid Plus Unused foreign tax credit(e) Foreign business income x Taxes otherwise payable

Adjusted Div B Income(f) Taxes otherwise payable less Non-business income tax deduction ITA

126(1)

Tax otherwise Payable: ITA 126(7)Tax otherwise payable for BFT is computed as follows:

Basic corporation tax - 38%Less: General rate reduction

Summary for Taxes otherwise payable NBFT BFT Base Amount of Part I tax 38% yes yesMinus: Federal Abatement yes noPlus: ART yes noMinus: General Rate deduction yes yes

Circular Calculation with ART:There is a circular calculation in computing SBD, FTC, and ART. To eliminate the difficulties, the following steps must be taken:

1. Compute NBFTC excluding ART from the taxes otherwise payable.2. Compute BFTC ( ART is not included in taxes otherwise payable).3. Compute SBD using the above numbers4. Recalculate the NBFTC using ART in the taxes otherwise payable.5. Recalculate the BFTC using NBFTC.

Example 9 :Corp A is a Canadian public corporation. For the year ending December 31, 2008, it has net income for tax purposes of $ 146,000, including foreign business income of $20,000. The foreign government withheld $3,000 in taxes on this income, resulting in a net remittance of $17,000. Non of the companies income involved in

Page 18: Chapter 11 - Computation of Taxable Income and Tax

manufacturing and processing and, 88% of the company’s income was allocated to a province . In calculating taxable income the company deducts $30,000 in dividend received from taxable Canadian corporation , a non-capital loss carry forward of $75,000, and a net capital loss carry forward of $25,000.

Required:Determine the corporate Part I tax payable for the year 2008.

Acquisition of Control and its effect on loss:

When control of a corporation is acquired by another person or group of person, the losses will be affected as follows:

1.The unutilized 1. net capital losses2. Losses from property3. allowable business investment loss

will expire.2. The carry forward of:

1. non capital loss2. farm loss are restricted.

The effect of acquisition of control:1. Deemed year end

- the current year is ended immediately before acquisition of control.- the new year starts- The taxpayer may have a choice for the new year end. It may choose the

previous normal year end or the new year end.

2. Accrued or unrealized loss on inventory- each item of inventory must be valued at LCM- Any unrealized loss on inventory would be realized on acquisition of

control

3. Unrealized loss on Account receivable- revision of reserve for doubtful account for actual bad debt- a fixed percentage of reserve as doubtful debt is not allowed on

acquisition of control.

Page 19: Chapter 11 - Computation of Taxable Income and Tax

- Accrued loss on Account Receivable become part of the non-capital loss or farm loss which are deductible.

4. Unrealized loss on depreciable property- The unrealized loss is computed as follows:

UCC – (FMV + CCA and terminal loss of the class in the deemed year endThe excess amount

5. Option or Election:A corporation is permitted to elect to have a deemed disposition for any depreciable or non-depreciable capital property on which capital gain or recapture have accrued.

Example 10:In 2007, a chain of bakeries, called Buscat Ltd., commenced operation. The industry is highly competitive and

because of Mr. Buscat’s lack of marketing skills, the corporation incurred losses in the first three taxation years of operations as follows:

Taxation year-end

Dec. 31, 2007................................... $60,000 $12,000Dec. 31, 2008................................... 45,000 8,000Dec. 31, 2009................................... 25,000 4,000

On July 1, 2010, Mr. Buscat decided to sell 75% of his common shares to Mr. Bran, owner of Buns Plus Ltd. Mr. Bran has been in the business of supplying bread dough, pastry dough and bun bags for ten years and has been very successful. Buns Plus Ltd. has two divisions: a bakery and a coffee shop, which it intends to transfer to Buscat Ltd.

The following income tax data relates to Buscat Limited’s operations from January 1, 2010 to June 30, 2010:

(a) Business loss (before inventory valuation)............................................

$10,000

(b) Allowable capital loss................... 2,000(c) Property loss.................................. 5,500(d) Assets at June 30, 2009:

Page 20: Chapter 11 - Computation of Taxable Income and Tax

Bakery equipment...... 100,000 86,000 70,000

During the later part of the 2010 calendar year, the bakery/coffee shop of Buns Plus Ltd. was transferred to Buscat Ltd. For the six-month period ending on December 31, 2010, Buscat Limited had net income of $90,000 from all its businesses.

The net income earned was as follows:

Buscat bakery...................................... $(55,000)

Buns Plus bakery................................ 130,000Coffee shop......................................... 15,000

$ 90,000

In the 2011 taxation year, Buscat Ltd. expects to earn $250,000, of which $65,000 will be from the original Buscat bakery business and $20,000 from the coffee shop business.

—REQUIRED

Prepare an analysis of the income tax implications of the acquisition of shares. In your analysis, consider the two election options from which an election choice is most likely to be made.
