For the purposes of section 12 of the Act, a company is deemed not to be dealing at arm’s length with a qualified legal person where that company, another company, a legal person related to either of them, and a shareholder or such legal persons or any other person related to such shareholder owns, directly or indirectly, 50% or more of the voting shares of the share capital of that qualified legal person.
