175.1.3. Where at any time in a taxation year of a borrower a debt obligation of the borrower is settled or extinguished or the holder of the obligation acquires or reacquires property of the borrower in circumstances in which sections 484 to 484.6 apply in respect of the debt obligation and, at that time, the aggregate determined in the second paragraph exceeds the aggregate determined in the third paragraph, which excess is in this section referred to as the excess amount, the following rules apply:
(a)  for the purpose of applying sections 484 to 484.6 in respect of the borrower, the principal amount at that time of the debt obligation is deemed to be equal to the amount by which the principal amount at that time of the debt obligation exceeds the excess amount; and
(b)  the excess amount shall be deducted at that time in computing the forgiven amount in respect of the obligation, within the meaning assigned by section 485.
The aggregate first referred to in the first paragraph, at any particular time, is equal to the total of the following amounts:
(a)  the aggregate of all amounts each of which is an amount paid at or before that time in satisfaction, in whole or in part, of the obligation to pay interest on the debt obligation in respect of a period or part of a period that is after the particular time; and
(b)  the aggregate of all amounts each of which is the amount of interest payable on the debt obligation, determined without reference to section 175.1.2, by the borrower in respect of a taxation year ending after 31 December 1991 and before the particular time, or in respect of a period or part thereof that is in the year and before the particular time, to the extent that such interest does not exceed a reasonable amount.
The second aggregate referred to in the first paragraph, at any particular time, is equal to the total of the following amounts:
(a)  the aggregate of all amounts each of which is an amount of interest deemed by section 175.1.2 to have been payable on the debt obligation by the borrower in respect of a taxation year ending before the particular time; and
(b)  the amount of interest that would be deemed by section 175.1.2 to have been payable on the debt obligation by the borrower in respect of the year if the year had ended immediately before the particular time.
