PART IIIAnnuities and Life Insurance Policies

Capital Element of Annuity Payments

  •  (1) For the purposes of paragraphs 32.1(3)(b) and 60(a) of the Act, where an annuity is paid under a contract (other than an income-averaging annuity contract or an annuity contract purchased pursuant to a deferred profit sharing plan or pursuant to a plan referred to in subsection 147(15) of the Act as a “revoked plan”) at a particular time, that part of the annuity payment determined in prescribed manner to be a return of capital is that proportion of a taxpayer’s interest in the annuity payment that the adjusted purchase price of the taxpayer’s interest in the contract at that particular time is of his interest, immediately before the commencement under the contract of payments to which paragraph 56(1)(d) of the Act applies, in the total of the payments

    • (a) to be made under the contract, in the case of a contract for a term of years certain; or

    • (b) expected to be made under the contract, in the case of a contract under which the continuation of the payments depends in whole or in part on the survival of an individual.

  • (1.1) For the purposes of subsections (1) and (2), “annuity payment” does not include any portion of a payment under a contract the amount of which cannot be reasonably determined immediately before the commencement of payments under the contract except where the payment of such portion cannot be so determined because the continuation of the annuity payments under the contract depends in whole or in part on the survival of an individual.

  • (2) For the purposes of this section, if the continuance of the annuity payments under a contract depends in whole or in part on the survival of an individual,

    • (a) the total of the payments expected to be made under the contract is

      • (i) in the case of a contract that provides for equal payments and does not provide for a guaranteed period of payment, to be equal to the product obtained by multiplying the total of the annuity payments expected to be received throughout a year under the contract by the complete expectations of life determined

        • (A) using the table of mortality known as the 1971 Individual Annuity Mortality Table as published in Volume XXIII of the Transactions of the Society of Actuaries, if the annuity rates in respect of the contract were fixed and determined before 2017, and

          • (I) annuity payments under the contract commenced before 2017, or

          • (II) on December 31, 2016, the contract would be a prescribed annuity contract if paragraph 304(1)(c) were read without reference to its subparagraph (i) and the contract cannot be terminated other than on the death of an individual on whose life payments under the contract are contingent, and

        • (B) in any other case, using the table of mortality known as the Annuity 2000 Basic Table as published in the Transactions of Society of Actuaries, 1995–96 Reports, and

      • (ii) in any other case, to be calculated in accordance with subparagraph (i) with such modifications as the circumstances may require;

    • (b) the age of the individual on any particular date as of which a calculation is being made is

      • (i) if the life insured was determined by the insurer that issued the contract to be a substandard life at the time the contract was issued and the Annuity 2000 Basic Table as published in the Transactions of Society of Actuaries, 1995–96 Reports applies to determine the total of the payments expected to be made under the contract, the age that is equal to the total of the age used for the purpose of determining the annuity rate under the policy at the date of issue of the contract and the number determined by subtracting the calendar year in which the contract was issued from the calendar year in which the particular date occurs, and

      • (ii) in any other case, determined by subtracting the calendar year of the individual’s birth from the calendar year in which the particular date occurs; and

    • (c) if, in the event of the death of the individual before the annual payments total a stated sum, the contract provides that the unpaid balance of the stated sum is to be paid in a lump sum or instalments, then for the purpose of determining the expected term of the contract, the contract is deemed to provide for the continuance of the payments under the contract for a minimum term certain equal to the nearest whole number of years required to complete the payment of the stated sum.

  • (3) Where

    • (a) an annuity contract is a life annuity contract entered into before November 17, 1978 under which the annuity payments commence on the death of an individual,

    • (a.1) [Repealed, SOR/83-865, s. 1]

    • (b) an annuity contract (other than an annuity contract described in paragraph (a)) is

      • (i) a life annuity contract entered into before October 23, 1968, or

      • (ii) any other annuity contract entered into before January 4, 1968,

      under which the annuity payments commence

      • (iii) on the expiration of a term of years, and

      • (iv) before the later of January 1, 1970 and the tax anniversary date of the annuity contract,

    the adjusted purchase price of a taxpayer’s interest in the annuity contract shall be

    • (c) the lump sum, if any, that the person entitled to the annuity payments might have accepted in lieu thereof, at the date the annuity payments commence;

    • (d) if no lump sum described in paragraph (c) is provided for in the contract, the sum ascertainable from the contract as the present value of the annuity at the date the annuity payments commence; and

    • (e) if no lump sum described in paragraph (c) is provided for in the contract and no sum is ascertainable under paragraph (d),

      • (i) in the case of a contract issued under the Government Annuities Act, the premiums paid, accumulated with interest at the rate of four per cent per annum to the date the annuity payments commence, and

      • (ii) in the case of any other contract, the present value of the annuity payments at the date on which payments under the contract commence, computed by applying

        • (A) a rate of interest of four per cent per annum where the payments commence before 1972 and 5 1/2 per cent per annum where the payments commence after 1971, and

        • (B) the provisions of subsection (2) where the payments depend on the survival of a person.

  • (4) Where an annuity contract would be described in paragraph (3)(b) if the reference in subparagraph (iv) thereof to “before the later of” were read as a reference to “on or after the later of”, the adjusted purchase price of a taxpayer’s interest in the annuity contract at a particular time shall be the greater of

    • (a) the aggregate of

      • (i) the amount that would be determined in respect of that interest under paragraph (3)(c), (d) or (e), as the case may be, if the date referred to therein was the tax anniversary date of the contract and not the date the annuity payments commence, and

      • (ii) the adjusted purchase price that would be determined in respect of that interest if the expression “before that time” in the descriptions of A, B, C, D and H in the definition adjusted cost basis in subsection 148(9) of the Act were read as “before that time and after the tax anniversary date”; and

    • (b) the amount determined under paragraph (2)(b) in respect of that interest.

Exempt Policies

  •  (1) For the purposes of this Part and subsection 12.2(11) of the Act, exempt policy at any time means a life insurance policy (other than an annuity contract, LIA policy or a deposit administration fund policy) in respect of which the following conditions are met at that time:

    • (a) if that time is a policy anniversary of the policy, the accumulating fund of the policy at that time (determined without regard to any policy loan) does not exceed the total of the accumulating funds at that time of the exemption test policies issued at or before that time in respect of the policy;

    • (b) assuming that the terms and conditions of the policy do not change from those in effect on the last policy anniversary of the policy at or before that time and, where necessary, making reasonable assumptions about all other factors (including, in the case of a participating life insurance policy within the meaning assigned by subsection 138(12) of the Act, the assumption that the amounts of dividends paid will be as shown in the dividend scale),

      • (i) if the policy is issued before 2017, it is reasonable to expect that the condition in paragraph (a) will be met on each policy anniversary of the policy on which the policy could remain in force after that time and before the endowment date of the exemption test policies issued in respect of the policy, and

      • (ii) if the policy is issued after 2016, it is reasonable to expect — without reference to any automatic adjustments under the policy that may be made after that time to ensure that the policy is an exempt policy and, where applicable, making projections using the most recent values that are used to calculate the accumulating fund in respect of the policy or in respect of each exemption test policy issued in respect of a coverage under the policy, as the case may be — that the condition in paragraph (a) will be met on the policy’s next policy anniversary;

    • (c) the condition in paragraph (a) was met on all policy anniversaries of the policy before that time; and

    • (d) the condition in paragraph (b) was met at all times on and after the first policy anniversary of the policy and before that time.

  • (2) For the purposes of subsection (1), a life insurance policy that is an exempt policy on its first policy anniversary shall be deemed to have been an exempt policy from the time of its issue until that anniversary.

  • (3) For the purposes of this section and section 307,

    • (a) in the case of a life insurance policy issued before 2017, a separate exemption test policy is deemed, subject to subsection (7), to be issued in respect of the life insurance policy

      • (i) on the date of issue of the life insurance policy, and

      • (ii) on each policy anniversary of the life insurance policy on which

      • (ii) subsection (7) did not apply on any of the policy’s six preceding policy anniversaries.

  • (7) If this subsection applies at any time in respect of a life insurance policy, each exemption test policy issued before that time in respect of the life insurance policy is at and after that time deemed to be issued (except for purposes of this subsection, paragraph (4)(a) and subsection (5))

    • (a) on the later of

      • (i) the date of the third preceding policy anniversary described in paragraph (6)(b) in respect of the policy, and

    • (b) not at any other time.

  • (8) A life insurance policy that would, in the absence of this subsection, cease (other than by reason of its conversion into an annuity contract) on a policy anniversary of the policy to be an exempt policy is deemed to be an exempt policy on that policy anniversary if

    • (a) had that policy anniversary occurred on the particular day that is 60 days after that policy anniversary, the policy would have been an exempt policy on the particular day; or

    • (b) the person whose life is insured under the policy dies on that policy anniversary or within 60 days after that policy anniversary.

  • (9) A life insurance policy (other than an annuity contract or deposit administration fund policy) issued before December 2, 1982 is deemed to be an exempt policy at all times from the date of its issue until the first time after December 1, 1982 at which

    • (a) a prescribed premium is paid by a taxpayer in respect of an interest, last acquired before December 2, 1982, in the policy; or

  • (10) Notwithstanding subsections (3) and (4), if a life insurance policy is issued for any purpose at a particular time determined under subsection 148(11) of the Act, then for the purposes of applying this section (other than this subsection and subsection (9)) and section 307 in respect of the life insurance policy at and after the particular time,

    • (a) in respect of each coverage issued before the particular time under the life insurance policy, a separate exemption test policy is deemed to be issued in respect of a coverage under the life insurance policy

      • (i) on the date of issue of the life insurance policy, and

    • (d) in respect of each exemption test policy the date of issuance of which is determined under subparagraph (a)(ii), subparagraph (4)(a)(iv) is to be read as follows:

      • (iv) if the date on which the exemption test policy is issued is determined by subparagraph (10)(a)(ii) at a time before a particular time, the portion of the amount – that amount being the amount that would be determined, at the time immediately before the particular time, under subparagraph (a)(ii), if the exemption test policy were issued in respect of the policy on the same date as the date determined for it under subparagraph (10)(a)(ii) – that can be reasonably allocated to the coverage in the circumstances (and for these purposes, an allocation is considered not to be reasonable if the total of the amounts determined for A and B in subparagraph (a)(iii) is less than the amount determined for C in that subparagraph in respect of the exemption test policy the date of issuance of which is determined under subparagraph (10)(a)(i) in respect of the coverage), and

    • (a) in respect of a taxpayer’s interest in an annuity contract (other than a contract issued by a life insurer), the amount that is the greater of

      • (i) the amount, if any, by which the cash surrender value of the taxpayer’s interest at that time exceeds the amount payable, if any, in respect of a loan outstanding at that time made under the contract in respect of the interest, and

      • (ii) the amount, if any, by which

        • (A) the present value at that time of future payments to be made out of the contract in respect of the taxpayer’s interest

    • (b) in respect of a taxpayer’s interest in a life insurance policy (other than an exemption test policy or an annuity contract to which paragraph (1)(a) applies), the product obtained when,

      • (i) where the policy is not a deposit administration fund policy and the particular time is immediately after the death of any person on whose life the life insurance policy is issued or effected, the aggregate of the maximum amounts that could be determined by the life insurer immediately before the death in respect of the policy under paragraph 1401(1)(c) and subparagraph 1401(1)(d)(i) if the mortality rates used were adjusted to reflect the assumption that the death would occur at the time and in the manner that it did occur, and

      • (ii) in any other case, the maximum amount that could be determined at that particular time by the life insurer under paragraph 1401(1)(a), computed as though there were only one deposit administration fund policy, or under paragraph 1401(1)(c), as the case may be, in respect of the policy

      is multiplied by

      • (iii) the taxpayer’s proportionate interest in the policy; and

    • (c) in respect of an exemption test policy,

      • (i) if the particular time is during the exemption test policy’s pay period, the amount determined by the formula

        A × B/C

        where

        A
        is the amount that would be determined under subparagraph (ii) in respect of the exemption test policy
        • (A) if the exemption test policy’s pay period is determined by subparagraph (b)(i) or (ii) of the definition pay period in section 310, on the first policy anniversary that is on or after the day on which the individual whose life is insured would, if the individual survived, attain the age of 105 years, as defined under the terms of the policy, and

        • (B) in any other case, on the exemption test policy’s policy anniversary represented by the adjectival form of the number of years in its pay period,

        C
        is the number of years in the exemption test policy’s pay period,

  • (2) For the purposes of subsection (1), when computing the accumulating fund in respect of

    • (a) an interest described in paragraph (1)(a), the amounts determined under clauses (1)(a)(ii)(A) and (B) are to be computed using,

      • (i) where an interest rate for a period used by the issuer when the contract was issued in determining the terms of the contract was less than any rate so used for a subsequent period, the single rate that would, if it applied for each period, have produced the same terms, and

      • (ii) in any other case, the rates used by the issuer when the contract was issued in determining the terms of the contract;

    • (b) an interest described in paragraph (1)(b) in respect of a life insurance policy issued before 2017 or an annuity contract, if an interest rate used for a period by a life insurer in computing the relevant amounts in paragraph 1403(1)(a) or (b) is determined under paragraph 1403(1)(c), (d) or (e), as the case may be, and that rate is less than an interest rate so determined for a subsequent period, the single rate that could, if it applied for each period, have been used in determining the premiums for the policy is to be used;

    • (c) an exemption test policy issued in respect of a life insurance policy issued before 2017,

      • (i) the rates of interest and mortality used and the age of the person whose life is insured shall be the same as those used in computing the amounts described in paragraph 1403(1)(a) or (b) in respect of the life insurance policy in respect of which the exemption test policy was issued except that

        • (A) where the life insurance policy is one to which paragraph 1403(1)(e) applies and the amount determined under subparagraph 1401(1)(c)(i) in respect of that policy is greater than the amount determined under subparagraph 1401(1)(c)(ii) in respect thereof, the rates of interest and mortality used may be those used in computing the cash surrender values of that policy, and

        • (B) where an interest rate for a period otherwise determined under this subparagraph in respect of that interest is less than an interest rate so determined for a subsequent period, the single rate that could, if it applied for each period, have been used in determining the premiums for the life insurance policy shall be used, and

      • (ii) notwithstanding subparagraph (i),

        • (A) where the rates referred to in subparagraph (i) do not exist, the minimum guaranteed rates of interest used under the life insurance policy to determine cash surrender values and the rates of mortality under the Commissioners 1958 Standard Ordinary Mortality Table, as published in Volume X of the Transactions of the Society of Actuaries, relevant to the person whose life is insured under the life insurance policy shall be used, or

        • (B) where, in respect of the life insurance policy, the particular period over which the amount determined under clause (B) of the description of A in subparagraph 1401(1)(c)(ii) does not extend to the exemption test policy’s endowment date, the weighted arithmetic mean of the interest rates used to determine the amount is to be used for the period that is after the particular period and before that date,

      • (iii) notwithstanding subparagraphs (i) and (ii), no rate of interest used for the purpose of determining the accumulating fund in respect of an exemption test policy issued in respect of the life insurance policy is to be less than

        • (A) if the life insurance policy is issued after April 1985, 4% per annum, and

        • (B) if the life insurance policy is issued before May 1985, 3% per annum, and

      • (iv) each amount of a benefit on death is to be determined net of any portion in respect of the benefit on death of the exemption test policy related to a segregated fund; and

    • (d) an exemption test policy issued in respect of a coverage under a life insurance policy issued after 2016,

      • (i) the rates of interest and mortality used and the age of the individual whose life is insured under the coverage are to be the same as those used in computing amounts under paragraph 1401(1)(c) in respect of the policy, and

Net Cost of Pure Insurance and Mortality Gains and Losses

  •  (1) For the purposes of subparagraph 20(1)(e.2)(ii) and paragraph (a) of the description of L in the definition adjusted cost basis in subsection 148(9) of the Act, the net cost of pure insurance for a year in respect of a taxpayer’s interest in a life insurance policy is

    • (a) if, determined at the end of the year, the policy was issued before 2017, the amount determined by the formula

      A × (B – C)

      where

      A
      is the probability, computed on the basis of the rates of mortality under the 1969–75 mortality tables of the Canadian Institute of Actuaries published in Volume XVI of the Proceedings of the Canadian Institute of Actuaries, or on the basis described in subsection (1.1), that an individual who has the same relevant characteristics as the individual whose life is insured will die in the year,
      B
      is the benefit on death in respect of the interest at the end of the year, and
      C
      is the accumulating fund (determined without regard to any amount payable in respect of the policy loan) in respect of the interest at the end of the year or the interest’s cash surrender value at the end of the year, depending on the method regularly followed by the life insurer in computing amounts under this subsection; and
    • (b) if, determined at the end of the year, the policy was issued after 2016, the total of all amounts each of which is an amount determined in respect of a coverage in respect of the interest by the formula

      A × (B – C)

      where

      A
      is the probability, computed on the basis of the rates of mortality determined in accordance with paragraph 1401(4)(b), or on the basis described in subsection (1.2), that an individual whose life is insured under the coverage will die in the year,
      B
      is the benefit on death under the coverage in respect of the interest at the end of the year, and
      C
      is the amount determined by the formula

      D + E

      where

      D
      is the portion, in respect of the coverage in respect of the interest, of the amount that would be the present value, determined for the purposes of section 307, on the last policy anniversary that is on or before the last day of the year, of the fund value of the coverage if the fund value of the coverage were equal to the fund value of the coverage at the end of the year, and
      E
      is the portion, in respect of the coverage in respect of the interest, of the amount that would be determined, on that policy anniversary, for paragraph (a) of the description of C in the definition net premium reserve in subsection 1401(3) in respect of the coverage, if the benefit on death under the coverage, and the fund value of the coverage, on that policy anniversary were equal to the benefit on death under the coverage and the fund value of the coverage, respectively, at the end of the year.
  • (1.1) If premiums for a life insurance policy do not depend directly on smoking or sex classification, the probability referred to in paragraph (1)(a) may be determined using rates of mortality otherwise determined, provided that for each age for the policy, the expected value of the aggregate net cost of pure insurance, calculated using those rates of mortality, is equal to the expected value of the aggregate net cost of pure insurance, calculated using the rates of mortality under the 1969–75 mortality tables of the Canadian Institute of Actuaries published in Volume XVI of the Proceedings of the Canadian Institute of Actuaries.

  • (1.2) If premiums or costs of insurance charges for a coverage under a life insurance policy do not depend directly on smoking or sex classification, the probability referred to in paragraph (1)(b) may be determined using rates of mortality otherwise determined, provided that for each age for the coverage, the expected value of the aggregate net cost of pure insurance, calculated using those rates of mortality, is equal to the expected value of the aggregate net cost of pure insurance, calculated using the rates of mortality that would be calculated under paragraph (1)(b) in respect of the coverage using the mortality tables described in paragraph 1401(4)(b).

  • (2) Subject to subsection (4), for the purposes of this section and of the description of G in the definition adjusted cost basis in subsection 148(9) of the Act, a mortality gain immediately before the end of any calendar year after 1982 in respect of a taxpayer’s interest in a life annuity contract means such reasonable amount in respect of the taxpayer’s interest in the life annuity contract at that time that the life insurer determines to be the increase to the accumulating fund in respect of the interest that occurred during that year as a consequence of the survival to the end of the year of one or more of the annuitants under the life annuity contract.

    • (a) that is, either immediately or in the future, owed to any other person by the purchaser or a person with whom the purchaser does not deal at arm’s length, to the extent that

      • (iv) payment of that amount is to be made in a foreign currency or is to be determined by reference to its value in a foreign currency and it may reasonably be considered, having regard to the history of the exchange rate between the foreign currency and Canadian currency, that the total of all such payments, when converted to Canadian currency at the exchange rate expected to prevail at the date on which each such payment would be required to be made, will be substantially less than that total would be if each such payment was converted to Canadian currency at the time that each such payment became owing;

    • (b) that the purchaser or a person with whom the purchaser does not deal at arm’s length is entitled at any time to, directly or indirectly, receive or have available

      • (i) as a form of assistance from a government, municipality or other public authority, whether as a grant, a subsidy, a forgivable loan, a deduction from tax (other than an amount described in clause (b)(i)(B) of the definition tax shelter in subsection 237.1(1) of the Act) or an investment allowance, or as any other form of assistance, or

      • (ii) by reason of a revenue guarantee or other agreement in respect of which revenue may be earned by the purchaser or a person with whom the purchaser does not deal at arm’s length, to the extent that the revenue guarantee or other agreement may reasonably be considered to ensure that the purchaser or person will receive a return of all or a portion of the purchaser’s outlays in respect of the interest;

    • (c) that is the proceeds of disposition to which the purchaser may be entitled by way of an agreement or other arrangement under which the purchaser has a right, either absolutely or contingently, to dispose of the interest (otherwise than as a consequence of the purchaser’s death), including the fair market value of any property that the agreement or arrangement provides for the acquisition of in exchange for all or any part of the interest; and

    • (d) that is owed to a promoter, or a person with whom the promoter does not deal at arm’s length, by the purchaser or a person with whom the purchaser does not deal at arm’s length in respect of the interest.

  • (2) Notwithstanding subsection (1), for the purpose of paragraph b) of the definition tax shelter in subsection 237.1(1) of the Act, prescribed benefit, in respect of an interest in a property, does not, except as otherwise provided in subparagraph (1)(b)(ii), include profits earned in respect of the interest.

  • (3) For the purpose of paragraph (b) of the definition tax shelter in subsection 237.1(1) of the Act, prescribed benefit, in respect of an interest in a property, includes an amount that is a limited-recourse amount because of subsection 143.2(1), (7) or (13) of the Act, but does not include an amount of indebtedness that is a limited-recourse amount

        • (A) the partnership is a member of another partnership,

        • (B) there is a limited partner (within the meaning assigned by subsection 96(2.4) of the Act) of the partnership,

        • (D) it is reasonable to conclude that one of the main reasons for the existence of one of two or more partnerships, one of which is the partnership, or the acquisition of one or more properties by the partnership, is to avoid the application of this section to the member’s indebtedness,

    • (b) of a partnership

      • (i) where

      • (i) the rate of interest stipulated to be payable in respect of each period throughout which the obligation is outstanding is fixed at the date of issue of the obligation, and

    the subsequent interest in any debt obligation acquired by the taxpayer by exercising the conversion privilege or option shall be considered to be a continuation of the first interest.

  • (5) For the purposes of making the computations referred to in paragraphs (2)(a), (b), (c) and (c.1), the compounding period shall not exceed one year and any interest rate used shall be constant from the time of acquisition or issue, as the case may be, until the time of maturity, surrender or retraction.

    • (a) on March 27, 1988 lifetime retirement benefits under a defined benefit provision of a pension plan were determined as the greater of benefits computed on a career average basis and benefits computed on a final or best average earnings basis,

    • (b) the method for determining lifetime retirement benefits under the provision was not amended after March 27, 1988 and before the end of a particular calendar year, and

    • (c) it was reasonable to expect, on January 1, 1990, that the lifetime retirement benefits to be paid under the provision to at least 75 per cent of the members of the plan on that date (other than members to whom benefits do not accrue under the provision after that date) will be determined on a final or best average earnings basis,

    at the option of the plan administrator, benefit accruals under the provision in respect of the particular year may, where the particular year is before 1992, be determined without regard to the career average formula.

Transition Rule — Benefit Rate Greater Than 2 Per Cent
  • (9) Subject to subsection (6), where

    • (a) the amount of lifetime retirement benefits provided under a defined benefit provision of a registered pension plan to a member of the plan is determined, in part, by multiplying the member’s remuneration (or a function of the member’s remuneration) by one or more benefit accrual rates, and

    • (b) the largest benefit accrual rate that may be applicable is greater than 2 per cent,

    the member’s benefit accrual under the provision in respect of 1990 or 1991 is the lesser of

    • (c) the member’s benefit accrual otherwise determined, and

    • (d) 2 per cent of the aggregate of all amounts each of which is the amount that would, if the definition compensation in subsection 147.1(1) of the Act were read without reference to subparagraphs (a)(iii) and (iv) and paragraphs (b) and (c) thereof, be the member’s compensation for the year from an employer who participated in the plan in the year for the benefit of the member.

Period of Reduced Remuneration
  • (10) For the purposes of paragraph (9)(d), where a member of a registered pension plan is provided with benefits under a defined benefit provision of the plan in respect of a period in 1990 or 1991

    • (a) throughout which, by reason of disability, leave of absence, lay-off or other circumstance, the member rendered no services, or rendered a reduced level of services, to employers who participate in the plan, and

    • (b) throughout which the member received no remuneration, or a reduced rate of remuneration,

    the member’s compensation shall be determined on the assumption that the member received remuneration for the period equal to the amount of remuneration that it is reasonable to consider the member would have received if the member had rendered services throughout the period on a regular basis (having regard to the services rendered by the member before the period) and the member’s rate of remuneration had been commensurate with the member’s rate of remuneration when the member did render services on a regular basis.

Anti-avoidance
  • (11) Where the terms of a defined benefit provision of a registered pension plan can reasonably be considered to have been established or modified so that a pension credit of an individual for a calendar year under the provision would, but for this subsection, be reduced as a consequence of the application of paragraph (3)(g), that paragraph shall not apply in determining the individual’s normalized pension under the provision in respect of the year.

        • (A) an employer who participated under the particular provision for the benefit of the member, or

        • (B) an employer who does not deal at arm’s length with an employer referred to in clause (A)

    Increased Benefits for Disabled Member
    • (d) where the amount of lifetime retirement benefits provided under the provision to a member depends on whether the member is physically or mentally impaired at the time (in this paragraph referred to as the “time of commencement”) at which retirement benefits under the provision commence to be paid to the member,

        • (A) is not totally and permanently disabled at the time of commencement, or

        • (B) is totally and permanently disabled at the time of commencement and was, at any time after 1990, connected with an employer who has participated in the plan

        satisfies the limit that would be determined by the formula set out in paragraph (c) if the member were not impaired at the time of commencement, and

      • (ii) the amount of lifetime retirement benefits payable for a particular month to the member if subparagraph (i) is not applicable does not exceed the amount that is determined for the particular month by the formula

        ((A + B) / 12) × C

        where

        A
        is the amount (expressed on an annualized basis) of lifetime retirement benefits that have accrued under the provision to the member to the time of commencement, determined as if the member were not impaired at the time of commencement and without any reduction computed by reference to the member’s age, duration of service, or both, and without any other similar reduction,
        B
        is, in the case of a member who attains 65 years of age before the time of commencement, nil, and, otherwise, the amount, if any, by which the lesser of
        • (A) the amount (expressed on an annualized basis) of lifetime retirement benefits that could reasonably be expected to have accrued to the member to the day on which the member would have attained 65 years of age if the member had survived to that day and continued in employment and if the member’s rate of remuneration had not increased after the time of commencement, and

        • (B) the amount, if any, by which the Year’s Maximum Pensionable Earnings for the calendar year that includes the time of commencement exceeds such amount as is required by the Minister to be determined in respect of benefits provided to the member under other benefit provisions of the plan and under benefit provisions of other registered pension plans

        exceeds the amount determined for A, and

        C
        is the greatest of all amounts each of which is the ratio of the Consumer Price Index for a month not before the month that includes the time of commencement and not after the particular month to the Consumer Price Index for the month that includes the time of commencement;
    Pre-1991 Benefits
    • (e) all benefits provided under the provision in respect of periods before 1991 are acceptable to the Minister and, for the purposes of this condition, any benefits in respect of periods before 1991 that become provided after 1988 with respect to a member who is connected with an employer who participates in the plan or was so connected at any time before the benefits become provided shall, unless the Minister is notified in writing that the benefits are provided with respect to the member, be deemed to be unacceptable to the Minister;

    Determination of Retirement Benefits
    • (f) the amount of retirement benefits provided under the provision to a member is determined in such a manner that the member’s pension credit (as determined under Part LXXXIII) under the provision for a calendar year with respect to an employer is determinable at the end of the year;

    Benefit Accrual Rate
    • (g) if the amount of lifetime retirement benefits provided under the provision to a member is determined, in part, by multiplying the member’s remuneration (or a function of the member’s remuneration) by an annual benefit accrual rate, or in a manner that is equivalent to that calculation, the annual benefit accrual rate or the quivalent annual benefit accrual rate does not exceed

      • (i) in the case of a member whose benefits are provided in respect of employment in a public safety occupation and for whom the formula for determining the amount of the lifetime retirement benefits can reasonably be considered to take into account public pension benefits, 2.33 per cent, and

      • (ii) in any other case, 2 per cent;

    Increase in Accrued Benefits
    • (h) where the amount of lifetime retirement benefits provided to a member in respect of a calendar year depends on

      • (i) the member’s remuneration in subsequent years, or

      • (ii) the average wage (or other general measure of wages and salaries) for subsequent years,

      and this condition has not been waived by the Minister, the formula for determining the amount of lifetime retirement benefits is such that

      • (iii) the percentage increase from year to year in the amount of lifetime retirement benefits that accrued to the member in respect of the year can reasonably be expected to approximate or be less than the percentage increase from year to year in the member’s remuneration or in the average wage (or other general measure of wages and salaries), as the case may be, or

      • (iv) the condition in subparagraph (iii) is not satisfied only by reason that the formula can reasonably be considered to have been designed taking into account the public pension benefits payable to members,

      and, for the purposes of this condition, where in determining the amount of lifetime retirement benefits provided under the provision to a member there is deducted an amount described in subparagraph (j)(i), it shall be assumed that the amount so deducted is nil;

    • (i) where the amount of lifetime retirement benefits provided to a member in respect of a calendar year depends on the member’s remuneration in other years, the formula for determining the amount of the lifetime retirement benefits is such that any increase in the amount of lifetime retirement benefits that accrued to the member in respect of the year that is attributable to increased remuneration is primarily attributable to an increase in the rate of the member’s remuneration;

    Offset Benefits
    • (j) where

      • (i) in determining the amount of lifetime retirement benefits provided under the provision to a member there is deducted

        • (A) the amount of lifetime retirement benefits provided to the member under a benefit provision of a registered pension plan, or

        • (B) the amount of a lifetime annuity that is provided to the member under a deferred profit sharing plan, and

      • (ii) a single amount is paid in full or partial satisfaction of the member’s entitlement to benefits under the benefit provision referred to in clause (i)(A) or the deferred profit sharing plan referred to in clause (i)(B),

      the amount that is so deducted in determining the amount of the member’s lifetime retirement benefits under the defined benefit provision includes the amount of lifetime retirement benefits or lifetime annuity that may reasonably be considered to have been foregone as a consequence of the payment of the single amount;

    Bridging Benefits — Cross-plan Restriction
    • (k) bridging benefits are not paid under the provision to a member who receives bridging benefits under another defined benefit provision of the plan (in this paragraph referred to as the “particular plan”) or under a defined benefit provision of another registered pension plan, except that this condition is not applicable where it is waived by the Minister or where

      • (i) bridging benefits are paid to the member under only one defined benefit provision of the particular plan,

      • (ii) the decision to provide bridging benefits under the particular plan to the member was not made by the member, by persons with whom the member does not deal at arm’s length or by the member and such persons, and

      • (iii) each employer who has participated in any registered pension plan (other than the particular plan) under a defined benefit provision of which the member receives bridging benefits

        • (A) has not participated in the particular plan, and

        • (B) has always dealt at arm’s length with each employer who has participated in the particular plan,

      and, for the purposes of this paragraph, bridging benefits provided under a defined benefit provision of a registered pension plan to the member do not include benefits that are provided on a basis no more favourable than an actuarially equivalent basis in lieu of all or a proportion of the benefits that would otherwise be payable under the provision with respect to the member; and

    Division of Benefits on Breakdown of the Marriage or Common-law Partnership
    • (l) if, by reason of a provision of a law described in subparagraph 8501(5)(b)(ii), an individual who is a spouse or common-law partner or former spouse or common-law partner of a member becomes entitled to receive all or a portion of the benefits that would otherwise be payable under the defined benefit provision to the member, and paragraph 8501(5)(d) applies with respect to the benefits,

      • (i) the present value of benefits provided under the provision with respect to the member (including, for greater certainty, benefits provided with respect to the individual) is not increased as a consequence of the individual becoming so entitled to benefits, and

      • (ii) the benefits provided under the provision to the member are not, at any time, adjusted to replace, in whole or in part, the portion of the member’s benefits to which the individual has become entitled.

      • (i) the aggregate amount of current service contributions to be made by a member in respect of a calendar year after 1990, no part of which is a period of disability or an eligible period of reduced pay or temporary absence of the member, does not exceed the lesser of

        • (A) 9 per cent of the aggregate of all amounts each of which is the member’s compensation for the year from an employer who participates in the plan in the year for the benefit of the member, and

        • (B) the aggregate of $1,000 and 70 per cent of the aggregate of all amounts each of which is the amount that would be the member’s pension credit (as determined under Part LXXXIII) for the year under the provision with respect to an employer if section 8302 were read without reference to paragraphs (2)(b) and (3)(g) thereof,

      • (ii) the method for determining current service contributions to be made by a member in respect of a calendar year that includes a period of disability or an eligible period of reduced pay or temporary absence of the member (referred to in this subparagraph as a “period of reduced services”) is consistent with that used for determining contributions in respect of years described in subparagraph (i), except that the member may be permitted or required to make, in respect of a period of reduced services, current service contributions not exceeding the amount reasonably necessary to fund the member’s benefits in respect of the period of reduced services, and

      • (iii) the aggregate amount of contributions to be made by a member in connection with benefits that, as a consequence of a transaction, event or circumstance occurring at a particular time, become provided under the provision in respect of periods before that time does not exceed the amount reasonably necessary to fund such benefits;

    Pre-payment of Member Contributions
    • (b) the contributions that are made under the provision by a member in respect of a calendar year are not paid before the year;

    Reduction in Benefits and Return of Contributions
    • (c) where the plan is not established by an enactment of Canada or a province, it includes a stipulation that permits, for the purpose of avoiding revocation of the registration of the plan,

      • (i) the plan to be amended at any time to reduce the benefits provided under the provision with respect to a member, and

      • (ii) a contribution that is made under the provision by a member or an employer to be returned to the person who made the contribution,

      which stipulation may provide that an amendment to the plan, or a return of contributions, is subject to the approval of the authority administering the Pension Benefits Standards Act, 1985 or a similar law of a province;

    Undue Deferral of Payment
    • (d) each single amount that is payable after the death of a member is paid as soon as is practicable after the member’s death (or, in the case of a single amount permitted by reason of paragraph (2)(j), after all other benefits have been paid);

    Evidence of Disability
    • (e) where additional lifetime retirement benefits are provided under the provision to a member because the member is totally and permanently disabled, the additional benefits are not paid before the plan administrator has received from a medical doctor or a nurse practitioner who is licensed to practise under the laws of a province or of the place where the member resides a written report providing the information on the medical condition of the member taken into account by the administrator in determining that the member is totally and permanently disabled; and

    • (f) where lifetime retirement benefits are provided under the provision to a member in respect of a period of disability of the member, the benefits, to the extent that they would not be in accordance with paragraph (3)(a) if that paragraph were read without reference to subparagraph (iv) thereof, are not paid before the plan administrator has received from a medical doctor or a nurse practitioner who is licensed to practise under the laws of a province or of the place where the member resides a written report providing the information on the medical condition of the member taken into account by the administrator in determining that the period is a period of disability.

Waiver of Member Contribution Condition
  • (5) The Minister may waive the conditions in paragraph (4)(a) where member contributions under a defined benefit provision of a pension plan are determined in a manner acceptable to the Minister and it is reasonable to expect that, on a long-term basis, the aggregate of the regular current service contributions made under the provision by all members will not exceed 1/2 of the amount that is required to fund the aggregate benefits in respect of which those contributions are made.

Pre-retirement Death Benefits
  • (6) A pension plan may provide, in the case of a member who dies before retirement benefits under a defined benefit provision of the plan commence to be paid to the member but after becoming eligible to have retirement benefits commence to be paid, benefits under the provision to the beneficiaries of the member where the benefits would be in accordance with subsection (2) if retirement benefits under the provision had commenced to be paid to the member immediately before the member’s death.

Commutation of Lifetime Retirement Benefits
  • (7) Where a pension plan permits a member to receive a single amount in full or partial satisfaction of the member’s entitlement to lifetime retirement benefits under a defined benefit provision of the plan, the following rules apply:

    • (a) the condition in subparagraph (2)(b)(i) that the payment of bridging benefits under the provision not commence before lifetime retirement benefits commence to be paid under the provision to the member is not applicable where, before the member’s lifetime retirement benefits commence to be paid, a single amount is paid in full satisfaction of the member’s entitlement to the lifetime retirement benefits; and

    • (b) such part of the member’s lifetime retirement benefits as remains payable after a single amount is paid in full satisfaction of the member’s entitlement to lifetime retirement benefits that would otherwise be payable after the member attains a particular age shall be deemed, for the purposes of the conditions in this section, to be lifetime retirement benefits and not to be bridging benefits.

Bridging Benefits and Election
  • (7.1) Where a pension plan permits a member, or a spouse or common-law partner or former spouse or common-law partner of the member, to elect to receive benefits described in any of paragraphs (2)(b), (l) or (l.1) under a defined benefit provision of the plan on a basis no more favourable than an actuarially equivalent basis in lieu of all or a proportion of the benefits that would otherwise be payable under the provision with respect to the member, the following rules apply:

    • (a) the condition in subparagraph (2)(b)(i) that the payment of bridging benefits under the provision not commence before lifetime retirement benefits commence to be paid under the provision to the member does not apply if, as a consequence of the election, no lifetime retirement benefits remain payable under the provision to the member; and

    • (b) for the purpose of determining whether retirement benefits provided under the provision to beneficiaries of the member are in accordance with paragraphs (2)(c), (d) and (k), the election may be disregarded.

Suspension or Cessation of Pension
  • (8) A pension plan may provide for

    • (a) the suspension of payment of a member’s retirement benefits under a defined benefit provision of the plan where

      • (i) the retirement benefits payable to the member after the suspension are not altered by reason of the suspension, or

      • (ii) subsection (9) is applicable in respect of the member’s retirement benefits; and

    • (b) the cessation of payment of any additional benefits that are payable to a member under a defined benefit provision of the plan because of a physical or mental impairment of the member or the termination of the member’s employment under a downsizing program (within the meaning assigned by subsection 8505(1)).

Re-employed Members
  • (9) Subject to subsection (10), where a pension plan provides, in the case of a member who becomes an employee of a participating employer after the member’s retirement benefits under a defined benefit provision of the plan have commenced to be paid, that

    • (a) payment of the member’s retirement benefits under the provision is suspended while the member is employed by a participating employer, and

    • (b) the amount of retirement benefits payable to the member after the suspension is redetermined

      • (i) to include benefits in respect of all or a part of the period throughout which payment of the member’s benefits was suspended,

      • (i.1) where the retirement benefits payable under the provision to the member after the suspension are not adjusted by any cost-of-living or similar adjustments in respect of the period throughout which payment of the member’s benefits was suspended, to take into account the member’s remuneration from the employer for the period throughout which payment of the benefits was suspended,

      • (ii) where the member was totally and permanently disabled at the time the member’s retirement benefits commenced to be paid, to include benefits in respect of all or a part of the period of disability of the member,

      • (iii) where the amount of the member’s retirement benefits was previously determined with a reduction computed by reference to the member’s age, duration of service, or both, or with any other similar reduction, by redetermining the amount of the reduction, or

      • (iv) where payment of the member’s retirement benefits resumes after the member attains 65 years of age, by applying an adjustment for the purpose of compensating, in whole or in part, for the payments foregone by the member after attaining 65 years of age,

    • (c) the condition in paragraph (3)(b) is not applicable in respect of benefits provided under the provision to the member in respect of a period throughout which payment of the member’s benefits is suspended,

    • (d) where the member was totally and permanently disabled at the time the member’s retirement benefits commenced to be paid, the condition in paragraph (3)(b) is not applicable in respect of benefits provided under the provision to the member in respect of a period of disability of the member,

    • (e) the conditions in paragraphs (2)(b) and (3)(c) and (d) and section 8504 are applicable in respect of benefits payable under the provision to the member after a suspension of the member’s retirement benefits as if the member’s retirement benefits had not previously commenced to be paid,

    • (f) for the purpose of paragraph 8502(c) as it applies in respect of benefits provided under the provision on the death of the member during or after a period throughout which payment of the member’s benefits is suspended, subsections (2) and (6) are applicable as if the member’s retirement benefits had not commenced to be paid before the period, and

    • (g) the provisions in paragraph (2)(m), Part LXXXIII and subsection 8517(4) that depend on whether the member’s retirement benefits have commenced to be paid apply to past service events, commutations and transfers occurring in the period in which the member’s benefits are suspended as if the member’s benefits had not previously commenced to be paid.

Re-employed Member — Special Rules Not Applicable
  • (10) Subsection (9) does not apply in respect of benefits provided under a defined benefit provision of a pension plan to a member unless the terms of the plan that provide for the redetermination of the amount of the member’s retirement benefits do not apply where retirement benefits have, at any time, been paid under the provision to the member while the member was an employee of a participating employer.

Re-employed Member — Anti-avoidance
  • (11) Where a member of a registered pension plan has become an employee of a participating employer after the member’s retirement benefits under a defined benefit provision of the plan have commenced to be paid and it is reasonable to consider that one of the main reasons for the employment of the member is to enable the member to benefit from terms of the plan that provide for a redetermination of the amount of the member’s retirement benefits provided in respect of a period before the benefits commenced to be paid, the plan becomes a revocable plan at the time the payment of the member’s benefits resumes.

Special Rules for Member Aged 70 or 71 in 2007
  • (11.1) Where

    • (a) a member of a registered pension plan attained 69 years of age in 2005 or 2006,

    • (c) the member’s retirement benefits are suspended as of any particular time in 2007, and

    • (d) the member was employed with a participating employer from the time the member’s retirement benefits commenced to be paid to the particular time,

    the following rules apply:

    • (e) subsections (9) and (11) shall apply with respect to the member as though the member became an employee of the participating employer at the particular time, and

    • (f) for the purpose of subsection (10), retirement benefits paid under the provision to the member before the particular time shall be disregarded.

Limits Dependent on Consumer Price Index
  • (12) Benefits provided under a defined benefit provision of a pension plan that are benefits to which a condition in any of subparagraphs (2)(b)(ii) and (e)(v) and (vi) and (3)(d)(ii) is applicable shall be deemed to comply with the condition where they would so comply if the Consumer Price Index ratio computed as part of the formula that applies for the purpose of the condition were replaced by a substantially similar measure of the change in the Consumer Price Index.

Statutory Plans — Special Rules
Artificially Reduced Pension Adjustments
  • (14) Where

    • (a) the amount of lifetime retirement benefits provided under a defined benefit provision of a registered pension plan to a member depends on the member’s remuneration,

    • (b) remuneration (in this subsection referred to as “excluded remuneration”) of certain types is disregarded for the purpose of determining the amount of the member’s lifetime retirement benefits, and

    • (c) it can reasonably be considered that one of the main reasons that remuneration in the form of excluded remuneration was paid to the member by an employer at any time was to artificially reduce a pension credit of the member under the provision with respect to the employer,

    the following rules apply for the purposes of the conditions in subsection 8504(1):

    • (d) the member shall be deemed to have been connected with the employer while the member was employed by the employer, and

    • (e) the member shall be deemed not to have received such remuneration as is excluded remuneration.

Past Service Employer Contributions
  • (15) Where

    • (a) a contribution that is made by an employer to a registered pension plan is made, in whole or in part, in respect of benefits (in this subsection referred to as “past service benefits”) provided under the plan to a member in respect of a period before 1990 and before the calendar year in which the contribution is made,

    • (b) the contribution is made

      • (i) after December 10, 1989, or

      • (ii) before December 11, 1989 where the contribution has not, before that date, been approved by the Minister under paragraph 20(1)(s) of the Act, and

    • (c) it is reasonable to consider that all or substantially all of such portion of the contribution as is in respect of past service benefits was paid by the employer, with the consent of the member, in lieu of a payment or other benefit to which the member would otherwise be entitled,

    the plan becomes, for the purposes of paragraph 147.1(11)(c) of the Act, a revocable plan on the later of December 11, 1989 and the day immediately before the day on which the contribution is made.

    • (a) if the qualifying period ends as a consequence of the member’s death, subsections (2) and (6) apply in respect of benefits provided under the provision on the death of the member as if the member’s retirement benefits had not commenced to be paid before the member’s death; and

    • (b) the provisions in paragraph (2)(m), Part LXXXIII and subsection 8517(4) that depend on whether the member’s retirement benefits have commenced to be paid apply to past service events, commutations and transfers occurring in the qualifying period as if the member’s retirement benefits had not commenced to be paid.

      • (i) there is an employer who participates in both plans, or

      • (ii) an employer who participates in one of the plans does not deal at arm’s length with an employer who participates in the other plan.

    • (b) determine, for the purpose of computing the amount J in subsection (2), the portion of the member’s compensation from an employer for a calendar year that may reasonably be considered to relate to a month in the year by apportioning the compensation uniformly over the period in the year in respect of which it was paid.

Part-time Employees

      (A × B) + (0.25 × C × (D / 35))

      where

      A
      is the defined benefit limit for the calendar year in which the benefits commence to be paid,

      • (ii) the average Consumer Price Index for the calendar year in which the lifetime retirement benefits commence to be paid.

Limit Not Applicable

    • (c) at the beginning of the particular year, a period in a preceding year was pensionable service of the individual under a defined benefit provision of a registered pension plan, and the individual did not, by reason of disability or leave of absence, render services in the particular year to an employer who participated in the plan with respect to the individual;

    • (d) contributions were made before June 8, 1990 by or on behalf of the individual under a money purchase provision of a registered pension plan in respect of the year; or

    • (e) contributions were made in the year by or on behalf of the individual to a deferred profit sharing plan.

Cross-plan Restrictions
  • (8) Where an individual is provided with benefits under more than one defined benefit provision, the determination of whether the benefits provided to the individual under a particular defined benefit provision comply with the conditions in subsections (5) and (6) shall be made on the assumption that benefits provided to the individual under each other defined benefit provision (other than a provision that is not included in a registered pension plan) associated with the particular provision were provided under the particular provision.

    • (b) additional lifetime retirement benefits payable to a member whose retirement benefits commence to be paid after the member attains 65 years of age, where the additional benefits result from an adjustment that is made to offset, in whole or in part, the decrease in the value of lifetime retirement benefits that would otherwise result by reason of the deferral of such benefits after the member attains 65 years of age and the adjustment is not more favourable than such an adjustment made on an actuarially equivalent basis.

  • (11) For the purpose of determining whether retirement benefits provided under a defined benefit provision of a pension plan comply with the conditions in subsection (5), the following benefits shall be disregarded:

    • (a) additional lifetime retirement benefits that are described in paragraph (10)(a); and

  • (14) The retirement benefits provided to a member under a defined benefit provision of a pension plan shall be deemed to comply with the condition in paragraph (5)(b) where they would so comply if the ratio that is determined under subparagraph (5)(b)(ii) were replaced by a substantially similar measure of the change in the Consumer Price Index.

  • (15) The lifetime retirement benefits provided to a member under a defined benefit provision of a pension plan shall be deemed to comply with the condition in subsection (6) where they would so comply if the amount C in the formula set out in paragraph (6)(b) were replaced by a substantially similar measure of the change in the Consumer Price Index.

    • (b) the elections available to the individual include an election

      • (i) to receive additional lifetime retirement benefits, not exceeding additional benefits determined on an actuarially equivalent basis, in lieu of all or a portion of a guarantee that retirement benefits will be paid for a minimum period of 10 years or less, or

      • (ii) to receive additional lifetime retirement benefits in lieu of retirement benefits that would otherwise be payable to a person who is a spouse or common-law partner or former spouse or common-law partner of the individual for a period beginning after the death of the individual and ending with the death of the person, where

General Accrual Rules

Marginal note:Fixed payment obligation not in default

  •  (1) For the purpose of paragraph 9101(1)(a), a taxpayer’s accrued return for a taxation year from a fixed payment obligation, under which each payment required to be made before the end of the year was made by the debtor when it was required to be made, shall be determined in accordance with the following rules:

    • (a) determine, in the primary currency of the obligation, the portion of the taxpayer’s total return from the obligation that is allocated to each day in the year using

      • (i) the level-yield method described in subsection (2), or

      • (ii) any other reasonable method that is substantially similar to the level-yield method;

    • (b) if the primary currency of the obligation is not Canadian currency, translate to Canadian currency the amount allocated to each day in the year, using a reasonable method of translation; and

    • (c) determine the total of all amounts each of which is the Canadian currency amount allocated to a day, in the year, at the beginning of which the taxpayer holds the obligation.

  • Marginal note:Level-yield method

    (2) For the purpose of subsection (1), the level-yield method for allocating a taxpayer’s total return from a fixed payment obligation is the method that allocates, to each particular day in the period that begins on the day following the day on which the taxpayer acquired the obligation and that ends on the day on which the obligation matures, the amount determined by the formula

    (A + B - C) × D

    where

    A
    is the cost of the obligation to the taxpayer (expressed in the primary currency of the obligation);
    B
    is the total of all amounts each of which is the portion of the taxpayer’s total return from the obligation that is allocated to a day before the particular day;
    C
    is the total of all payments required to be made under the obligation after it was acquired by the taxpayer and before the particular day; and
    D
    is the rate of interest per day that, if used in computing the present value (as of the end of the day on which the taxpayer acquired the obligation and based on daily compounding) of all payments to be made under the obligation after it was acquired by the taxpayer, produces a present value equal to the cost to the taxpayer of the obligation (expressed in the primary currency of the obligation).
  • Marginal note:Other specified debt obligations

    (3) For the purpose of paragraph 9101(1)(a), a taxpayer’s accrued return for a taxation year from a specified debt obligation, other than an obligation to which subsection (1) applies, shall be determined

    • (a) using a reasonable method that,

      • (i) taking into account the extent to which the obligation differs from fixed payment obligations, is consistent with the principles implicit in the methods that can be used under subsection (1) for fixed payment obligations, and

      • (ii) is in accordance with generally accepted accounting practice for the measurement of profit from debt obligations; and

    • (b) on the basis of reasonable assumptions with respect to the timing and amount of any payments to be made by the debtor under the obligation that are not fixed in their timing or amount (expressed in the primary currency of the obligation).

  • Marginal note:Accrual adjustment nil

    (4) For the purposes of paragraphs 9101(1)(b) and (2)(a), if subsection 142.3(1) of the Act applies to a taxpayer for a particular taxation year in respect of a specified debt obligation and either the subsection did not apply in respect of the obligation for the taxpayer’s immediately preceding taxation year or the taxpayer did not own the obligation at the end of that immediately preceding taxation year, the taxpayer’s accrual adjustment in respect of the obligation for the particular taxation year is nil.

  • Marginal note:Accrual adjustment

    (5) For the purposes of paragraphs 9101(1)(b) and (2)(a), if subsection (4) does not apply to determine a taxpayer’s accrual adjustment in respect of a specified debt obligation for a particular taxation year, the taxpayer’s accrual adjustment is the positive or negative amount determined by the formula

    A - B

    where

    A
    is the total of all amounts each of which is the amount that would be the taxpayer’s accrued return from the obligation for a taxation year, before the particular taxation year, for which subsection 142.3(1) of the Act applied to the taxpayer in respect of the obligation if the accrued return were redetermined on the basis of
    • (a) the information available at the end of the particular taxation year, and

    • (b) the assumptions, if any, with respect to the timing and amount of payments to be made under the obligation after the particular taxation year that were used for the purpose of determining the taxpayer’s accrued return from the obligation for the particular taxation year; and

    • (a) the amount included under paragraph 9101(1)(a) as the taxpayer’s accrued return from the obligation for the taxation year immediately preceding the particular taxation year, and

    • (b) if the taxpayer’s accrual adjustment in respect of the obligation for that immediately preceding taxation year was determined under this subsection, the value of A for the purpose of determining that accrual adjustment.

  • Marginal note:Obligations acquired before financial institution rules apply

    (4) If a taxpayer held a specified debt obligation at the beginning of the taxpayer’s first taxation year (in this subsection referred to as the “initial year”) for which subsection 142.3(1) of the Act applied to the taxpayer in respect of the obligation, the following rules apply:

    • (a) the taxpayer’s accrued return from the obligation for the initial year or a subsequent taxation year shall not include an amount to the extent that the amount was included in computing the taxpayer’s income for a taxation year preceding the initial year; and

      • (i) the portion of the interest that would not otherwise be included in computing the taxpayer’s income for any taxation year

      exceeds

      • (ii) the portion of the cost of the obligation to the taxpayer that is reasonably attributable to that portion of the interest.

  • Marginal note:Prepaid interest — transition rule
