2006-03-01

529.1. Except for the purposes of this section, where property is disposed of to a corporation before 26 March 1997 by a taxpayer or a partnership, in subparagraph b referred to as the “transferor”, Divisions I to III, or I to IV, as the case may be, as they read in respect of property disposed of on 26 March 1997 and not as they read in respect of the disposition, apply in respect of the disposition where

(a)  the disposition is made after 18 December 1996, or is part of a series of transactions or events that began before 19 December 1996 and ended after 18 December 1996; and

(b)  it may not reasonably be considered that all or substantially all of an excess amount is attributable to the difference between the cost amount of the property to the transferor, immediately before the disposition, for the purposes of this Part and the cost amount of the property to the transferor, at that time, for the purposes of Part I of the Income Tax Act (Revised Statutes of Canada, 1985, chapter 1, 5th Supplement), where that excess amount is

i.  the amount by which the transferor’s income for the taxation year in which the disposition is made is reduced by reason of the application of Divisions I to III, or I to IV, as the case may be, in respect of the disposition, exceeds the amount, if any, by which the transferor’s income for that year, established for the purposes of Part I of the Income Tax Act, is reduced by reason of the application of section 85 of that Act in respect of the disposition, or

ii.  the amount by which the cost amount of the property to the corporation, immediately after the disposition, for the purposes of this Part, exceeds the cost amount of the property to the corporation established at that time for the purposes of Part I of the Income Tax Act.

However, the first paragraph does not apply where the disposition is of property in respect of which section 522, as it reads in respect of property disposed of on 26 March 1997, would apply if

(a)  the disposition had been made on 26 March 1997;

(b)  where the election referred to in section 518 or in the first paragraph of section 529, as the case may be, as that section 518 or that paragraph reads in respect of property disposed of on 26 March 1997, was not made in respect of the disposition, the election had been made for an amount agreed on equal to the fair market value of the property at the time of the disposition; and

(c)  an amount had been agreed on in respect of the property in the prescribed form for the purposes of that section 522, and was equal to the amount agreed on in its respect in the election made under section 518 or the first paragraph of section 529, as the case may be, as that section 518 or that paragraph reads in respect of the disposition, or to the fair market value of the property at the time of the disposition if no election were made.
