1029.6.0.1.8.4. For the purpose of determining the amount that is deemed to have been paid to the Minister for a taxation year under this chapter, in respect of the repayment, in a fiscal period of a given partnership (in this section referred to as the “fiscal period of repayment”), of an amount of government assistance or non-government assistance that relates to a cost, an expenditure or expenses that have been incurred by the given partnership in a preceding fiscal period of the given partnership, the following rules apply in respect of a taxpayer if one or more partnerships (each of which is in this section referred to as an “interposed partnership”) are interposed between the taxpayer and the given partnership, for the fiscal period of repayment:
(a)  the taxpayer is deemed to be a member of a particular partnership at the end of a particular fiscal period of the particular partnership and that particular fiscal period is deemed to end in the taxpayer’s taxation year in which ends the fiscal period of the interposed partnership of which the taxpayer is directly a member, if
i.  the particular fiscal period is that which ends in the fiscal period (in this section referred to as the “interposed fiscal period”) of the interposed partnership that is a member of the particular partnership at the end of that particular fiscal period, and
ii.  the taxpayer is a member, or deemed to be a member under this paragraph, of the interposed partnership described in subparagraph i at the end of the interposed partnership’s interposed fiscal period;
(b)  the agreed proportion in respect of the taxpayer for the given partnership’s fiscal period of repayment is deemed to be equal to the product obtained by multiplying the agreed proportion in respect of the taxpayer for the interposed fiscal period of the interposed partnership of which the taxpayer is directly a member, by
i.  if there is only one interposed partnership, the agreed proportion in respect of the interposed partnership for the given partnership’s fiscal period of repayment, or
ii.  if there is more than one interposed partnership, the result obtained by multiplying together all proportions each of which is the agreed proportion in respect of an interposed partnership for the particular fiscal period of the particular partnership referred to in paragraph a of which the interposed partnership is a member at the end of that particular fiscal period;
(c)  if, at a particular time in the fiscal period of repayment, an interposed partnership pays, or is deemed to pay under this paragraph, pursuant to a legal obligation, an amount that may reasonably be considered to be a repayment of government assistance or non-government assistance that has been received, in respect of the cost, the expenditure or the expenses incurred by the given partnership, each of the members of that interposed partnership at the end of the interposed partnership’s interposed fiscal period, is deemed to have paid, at the particular time, pursuant to a legal obligation and as repayment of an amount of assistance, the member’s share in that amount, which share is equal to the agreed proportion of that amount in respect of that member for that fiscal period of the interposed partnership; and
(d)  if, at a particular time in the fiscal period of repayment, an amount of government assistance or non-government assistance to be received, in respect of the cost, the expenditure or the expenses incurred by the given partnership, is, or is deemed to be under this paragraph, an amount that has not been received by an interposed partnership and that has ceased to be an amount that it could reasonably expect to receive, the share in that amount of assistance of each of the members of that interposed partnership at the end of the interposed partnership’s interposed fiscal period—which share is equal to the agreed proportion of that amount of assistance in respect of that member for that fiscal period of the interposed partnership—is deemed to be, at the particular time, an amount that has not been received by that member and that has ceased to be an amount that that member could reasonably expect to receive.
