Problem 2
[ITA: 111(4), (5), (5.1); 249(4)]

On November 1, 2005, Chris purchased all the issued shares of Transtek Inc. from an acquaintance, Tom.
Transtek carries on a transmission repair business and has done so since its incorporation on January 1, 2004. In
addition to the transmission repair business, Transtek rents out a small building it owns. Neither the transmission
repair business nor the rental endeavour has been successful.
When Chris purchased Transtek, his financial projections indicated that Transtek would have significant
income within two years. Chris credited Transteks failure to Toms brash personality and laziness. Chris, on the
other hand, has a strong work ethic and has many contacts in the automotive industry to refer work to him.
The values of the capital assets owned by Transtek at the time of purchase by Chris are as follows:

REQUIRED
(A) Discuss the tax implications of the acquisition of Transtek Inc. on November 1, 2005, ignoring all
possible elections/options.
(B) Determine the tax consequences of the acquisition of Transtek Inc. under the assumption that:
(i) the maximum amount of all elections/options is utilized; and
(ii) the partial amount of all elections/options is utilized so that only enough income is generated to offset
most or all of the losses which would otherwise expire on the acquisition of control.
233
Solution 2
The data given in the problem statement can be summarized as follows:
Note that if no election is made, there is no income to offset the current business loss of $60,000 or the noncapital loss carryforward of $40,000. Therefore the non-capital loss available to carry forward from October 31,
2005 is $100,000 (i.e., $60,000 + $40,000). Note that the $2,000 of non-capital loss carryforward from a property
loss expires.
If the maximum election is made, the $3,000 of recapture offsets the business loss, leaving $57,000 (i.e.,
$60,000 $3,000) of net business loss. The $70,000 of taxable capital gain offsets the $22,000 of expiring losses,
leaving $48,000 (i.e., $70,000 $22,000) to offset the remaining $57,000 of business loss. There is no remaining
taxable capital gain to offset some of the $40,000 non-capital loss carryforward. As a result, the non-capital loss
available for carry forward from October 31, 2005 is $40,000.
If only a partial election is made, it should be enough to offset only $20,000 of the $22,000 of expiring
losses. The other $2,000 of expiring loss is the property loss carryforward which can only be utilized if enough
Division B income is elected, resulting in the elimination of the current business loss, as was the case with the
maximum election. If a partial election of only $20,000 of taxable capital gain is made, the current business loss
of $60,000 is not offset and, hence, is available to carry forward, along with the $40,000 of business non-capital
losses, from October 31, 2005 for a total of $100,000.
Part A (Ignoring all possible elections)
An acquisition of control occurred when Chris acquired more than 50% of the voting shares of Transtek Inc.
from an unrelated person, Tom.
The taxation year of Transtek is deemed to end immediately before the acquisition of control, October 31,
2005 [ssec. 249(4)].
Tax returns are required to be filed for this short year (i.e., 10 months) and amounts, such as C.C.A. (if
claimed), will have to be prorated.
It is assumed that any accrued losses in inventory and accounts receivable have been recognized in
calculating the business loss of $60,000.
234
There are no accrued losses on the depreciable property. Therefore, there is no adjustment required [ssec.
111(5.1)].
There is a $20,000 accrued loss on the rental property land that must be recognized. The A.C.B. of the land
is reduced from $90,000 to $70,000 [par. 111(4)(c)]. The $20,000 reduction is deemed to be a capital loss
[par. 111(4)(d)].
The income (loss) for the taxation year ended October 31, 2005 is computed below.

The net capital losses (($10,000 1/2) + $10,000 = $15,000) expire immediately following the October 31,
2005 year-end [par. 111(4)(a)].
The non-capital loss balance at November 1, 2005 is computed as follows:
Balance, Jan. 1, 2005................................................................................................................... $ 42,000
Loss for taxation year ended Oct. 31, 2005:

$ 100,000
Only the portion of the non-capital loss that may reasonably be regarded as a loss from carrying on a
business ($40,000 + $60,000 = $100,000) is deductible after October 31, 2005. Thus, the rental losses ($2,000 +
$5,000 = $7,000) expire immediately following the October 31, 2005 year-end [par. 111(5)(a)].
The $100,000 non-capital loss will be deductible only if the following condition is met the transmission
repair business is carried on for profit or with a reasonable expectation of profit throughout the taxation year in
which the losses are to be claimed [spar. 111(5)(a)(i)]. The condition appears to be met for the June 30, 2006 and
the June 30, 2007 taxation years. The transmission repair business was carried on throughout each of the years. It
was carried on for profit for the taxation year ended June 30, 2007. Due to Chriss work ethic and contacts in the
industry, it is reasonable to assume that it was carried on with a reasonable expectation of profit for the taxation
year ended June 30, 2006, despite the loss that was actually realized.
The $100,000 non-capital loss is deductible only to the extent of income from the transmission repair
business and income from a business selling similar products or providing similar services [spar. 111(5)(a)(ii)].
Thus, $54,000 of the non-capital loss incurred prior to November 1, 2005 is deductible for the June 30, 2007
taxation year. None of it is deductible for the June 30, 2006 taxation year due to the loss in that year. The
remainder ($100,000 $54,000 = $46,000) can be carried forward to 2008 subject to these same restrictions.
235
These restrictions do not apply to the non-capital loss ($25,000 $6,000 = $19,000) incurred in the taxation
year ended June 30, 2006. Thus $11,000 of the 2006 non-capital loss is deductible in 2007, in addition to the
$54,000 mentioned above.
Part B (i) (Maximum election)
Paragraph 111(4)(e) allows Transtek to elect to be deemed to have disposed of the repair shop land for
proceeds of $140,000 (maximum) and the repair shop building for proceeds of $230,000 (maximum). If Transtek
makes this election, the A.C.B. of the land on November 1, 2005 will be $140,000 and the A.C.B. of the building
will be $230,000. The new undepreciated capital cost for the building will be limited by paragraph 13(7)(1) to
$150,000 + 1/2 ($230,000 150,000) = $190,000.
The income for the taxation year ended October 31, 2005 will be as follows:

The $47,000 remaining may reasonably be regarded as a loss from carrying on business and thus is
deductible in a taxation year after October 31, 2005, subject to the restrictions discussed in Part A.
By making the maximum elections possible, the non-capital loss balance of Transtek at November 1, 2005
has been significantly reduced.
Part B (ii) (Minimum election to utilize expiring losses)
The following losses will expire October 31, 2005, if not utilized:
The 2004 net capital loss..............................................................................................
The Oct. 31, 2005 allowable capital loss......................................................................
The rental loss portion of the 2004 non-capital loss.....................................................
The Oct. 31, 2005 rental loss........................................................................................
5,000
10,000
2,000
5,000
$ 22,000
It is impossible to utilize the rental loss portion of the 2004 non-capital loss of $2,000 without triggering
sufficient income under paragraph 3(c) to utilize the entire October 31, 2005 business loss. This would not be
beneficial. Therefore, only $20,000 of the expiring losses will be used.
236
To utilize these losses in the taxation year ending October 31, 2005, a capital gain of 2 $20,000 = $40,000
is needed. To avoid recapture, the election should be made on the land, not the building.* Thus, Transtek will
elect under paragraph 111(4)(e) to be deemed to have disposed of the repair shop land for proceeds of $120,000,
i.e., (2 $20,000) + 80,000. The A.C.B. of the land at November 1, 2005 will be $120,000.

discussed in Part A.

Alternative B (ii) is better if the non-capital loss can be offset by income generated in the next seven years.
The resultant lower A.C.B. of the land and building under this option is only relevant on a disposition. The lower
U.C.C. on the building only represents an opportunity loss of C.C.A. at a 4% declining balance rate.
Consider the alternative of electing deemed proceeds of disposition of $190,000 (i.e., (2 $20,000) +
$150,000) on the repair shop building. Income under paragraph 3(b) would be the same as for Part B (ii).
However, the business loss under paragraph 3(d) would be only $57,000 (i.e., $60,000 $3,000 recapture), since
recapture would be triggered. This would reduce the non-capital loss balance at November 1, 2005 by $3,000 to
$97,000. However, the UCC of the repair shop building could be increased from $147,000 to $170,000 (i.e., +
$3,000 of recapture + $20,000 of taxable capital gain). The increased CCA base would begin to shelter income
from tax, in this case, in the year ended June 30, 2006, when the corporation earns a profit. If, for example, the
corporation uses a discount rate of 10% and faces a tax rate of 20%, the present value of the tax shield on the
incremental UCC base of $23,000 (i.e., $170,000 $147,000) is:
$23,000 .04 .20
= $1,314
.04 + .10
The value of the extra $3,000 in the non-capital loss balance in the same year and at the same assumed tax
rate of 20% is $600 (i.e., 20% of $3,000).

Problem 3
[ITA: 111(4), (5), (5.1); 249(4)]
In 2002, a chain of bakeries, called Buscat Ltd., commenced operation. The industry is highly competitive
and because of Mr. Buscats lack of marketing skills, the corporation incurred losses in the first three taxation
years of operations as follows:

On July 1, 2005, 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 Limiteds operations from January 1, 2005 to June 30,
2005:
(a) Business loss (before inventory valuation).. $ 10,000
(b) Allowable capital loss.................................

During the later part of the 2005 calendar year, the bakery/coffee shop of Buns Plus Ltd. was transferred to
Buscat Ltd. For the six-month period ending on December 31, 2005, 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................................................
130,000
Coffee shop........................................................
15,000
$ 90,000
In the 2006 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.
239
Solution 3
The data given in the problem statement can be summarized as follows:
The two election options to consider are the maximum election and the partial election.
If the maximum election is made, the $20,000 of recapture offsets the business loss, leaving $26,000 (i.e.,
$46,000 $20,000) of net business loss. The $25,000 of taxable capital gain offsets the $19,500 of expiring
losses, leaving $5,500 (i.e., $25,000 $19,500) to offset the remaining $26,000 of business loss, leaving $20,500
of that business loss. As a result, the non-capital loss available for carry forward from June 30, 2005 is $150,500
(i.e., $20,500 + $130,000).
If only a partial election is made to offset the $19,500 of expiring losses, the current business loss of
$46,000 is not offset and, hence, is available to carry forward, along with the $130,000 of non-capital losses,
from June 30, 2005 for a total of $176,000. If the election is made on the land, the ACB of the land can be
increased without a tax cost.
Note that if no election is made there is no income to offset the current business loss of $46,000 or the noncapital loss carryforward of $130,000. Therefore, the non-capital loss available to carry forward from June 30,
2005 is $176,000 (i.e., $46,000 + $130,000), which is the same as in the partial election, but there is no increase
in any cost value..
Deemed Year-end
Buscat Ltd. is deemed to have a taxation year ending June 30, 2005, immediately before the acquisition of
control by Buns Plus Ltd. on July 1, 2005 [ssec. 249(4)]. Tax returns will have to be filed for this short taxation
year (i.e., 6 months) and amounts such as C.C.A. will have to be prorated. In addition, the short taxation year will
cause the counting of a carryforward year for the non-capital losses from 2002, 2003 and 2004.

Loss from Non-capital Sources

Losses from non-capital sources for the deemed taxation year ended June 30, 2005, before any elections and

The non-capital losses will expire as follows, assuming that Buscat Ltd.s fiscal year-end after the

In order for these non-capital losses to be deductible in subsequent fiscal periods, two conditions in
subparagraph 111(5)(a)(i) must be met:
(a) the bakery business which generated the loss must be carried on throughout the taxation year in which
the non-capital loss is deducted; and
(b) the bakery business must be carried on for profit or with a reasonable expectation of profit.
It would appear that both conditions will be met, since the Buscat business is being carried on and Buns Plus
expects that the Buscat bakery business will earn a profit of $65,000 in 2006.
If the conditions of subparagraph 111(5)(a)(i) are met, then the non-capital losses may be deducted from
income of the bakery business that generated the loss plus the income from the sale of similar products or
services. If it can be assumed that the bakery business, transferred to Buscat Ltd., sells similar products and/or
services as the Buscat bakery business, then the maximum $90,000 of non-capital losses can be deducted on
December 31, 2005 as follows:
Lesser of:
(a) Net income for year...................................................................................................... $ 90,000
(b) Income from: the loss business...............................................................
Nil
the sale of similar products.............................................. $ 130,000
$ 130,000
The remaining $60,500 ($150,500 $90,000) of non-capital losses can be carried forward to 2006 subject to
the deductibility tests discussed above.
Partial election
The minimum amount to be elected upon under paragraph 111(4)(e) (i.e., proceeds of disposition) should be
an amount equal to 2 times the sum of:
(a) the allowable capital loss of $2,000 which is about to expire,
(b) the net capital losses of $12,000 which would otherwise expire, and
(c) the property loss of $5,500 which otherwise expires plus the adjusted cost base of the property to be
elected upon.
If the land was chosen as the asset to trigger all of the taxable capital gain, then the deemed proceeds would
be determined as:
[2 ($2,000 + $5,500 + $12,000) + $155,000] or $194,000
The resulting taxable income computation would be:

lower U.C.C. on the building only represents a loss of C.C.A. at a 4% declining balance rate. On the other hand,
if an additional $25,500 of income cannot be generated in the next seven years (i.e., business losses continue),
Alternative (a) is better.

Problem 5
[ITA: 124; ITR: 400]
The taxpayer, whose head office was in Manitoba, manufactured and sold various fans. Local sales agencies
were maintained in Ontario and in Quebec. At the Ontario agency, two qualified representatives handled business
under the company name. They were authorized to sign quotations. Contracts could be made, terms of payment
arranged and credit given without reference to the head office in Winnipeg. The company name was displayed
for public visibility, was used on calling cards, and was listed in the telephone directory. The Ontario agency,
occupying one-half of a building with warehouse facilities, maintained an inventory worth about $6,000. Orders
for standard-sized fans were filled from stock-in-trade. Orders for large fans were filled from the head office in
Winnipeg. The Quebec agency was substantially similar to that in Ontario.
REQUIRED
Determine whether or not the company has a permanent establishment in the provinces of Ontario and
Quebec. In reaching a conclusion, compare this situation with the case of M.N.R. v. Sunbeam discussed in this
chapter.
247
Solution 5
[Reference: Chicago Blower (Canada) Ltd. v. M.N.R., (T.A.B.) 66 DTC 471]
(A) Facts fall within Regulation 400(2)(b)
(i) the company carried on business in each province through an agent,
the agent was established in a particular place, clearly identified to the public,
occupied building with various warehouse facilities,
the agent had general authority to contract,
the agent had a stock of merchandise from which he filled orders,
the exception to this was on orders for larger fans,
thus, the condition was met at least in part,
(ii) therefore, the company does have a permanent establishment in the provinces indicated.
(B) This conclusion differs from that in the Sunbeam case which can be distinguished on its facts,
(i) in the Sunbeam case, the taxpayers representatives in Quebec did not have authority to make contracts
on the companys behalf,
(ii) there was no telephone listing in the companys name and that name did not appear on any business
signs.

NOTES TO SOLUTION
(1) Subsection 181(3) requires that the equity method not be used in determining amounts to be included in
capital and the investment allowance. Therefore, $10,000,000 has been subtracted from both the carrying value
of the investment and retained earnings in order to remove the effect of the equity method of accounting.
(2) The demand loan receivable does not qualify for the investment allowance since it is neither owing
from a corporation [par. 181.2(4)(b)] nor a bond, debenture, note, mortgage, hypothec, or similar obligation of
another corporation [par. 181.2(4)(c)].
(3) This amount can be offset by Canadian surtax payable in the following three years. No further unused
surtax credits exist from the preceding seven years.

In computing income from manufacturing, the corporation claimed a deduction of $150,000 under
subsection 37(1) of the Act for scientific research and experimental development (SR&ED). $100,000 of the
deduction related to expenditures of a current nature and $50,000 was the cost of equipment purchased during the
year for use by it in scientific research and experimental development carried on in Canada.
During the year, the corporation made charitable donations totalling $50,000 and claimed non-capital losses
of $60,000 and the net capital losses carried forward from 1999 of $9,000.
REQUIRED
Compute the federal Part I tax payable and provincial tax at 12% for Ontario and 11.5% for Alberta,
assuming that taxable income allocated to those provinces is the appropriate provincial tax base. Show all
calculations, whether or not necessary to your final answer. (For the calculation of the manufacturing and
