Canadian federal government releases significant draft tax legislation
On August 12, 2024, the Canadian federal government announced a number of legislative packages (the August 12 Proposals) aimed at implementing various tax measures, updating previously announced legislation, and introducing certain technical changes. The August 12 Proposals include measures first announced in the 2024 federal budget (Budget 2024) as well as updates to legislation announced prior to the 2024 budget. The press release accompanying the August 12 Proposals asks Canadians to apply for most measures by September 11, 2024 (or September 3, 2024 for changes to the cash profits linkage and permanent capital gains exemption).
The August 12 Proposals cover a wide range of measures, nearly all of which are covered in this update provided. Tax structure related to green economy initiatives will be addressed in a separate update.
Consolidated Tax Rates for Cash Growth
The 2024 Budget proposes to increase the consolidated tax rate for corporate and trust resource growth from 50% to two-thirds (66 2/3%) and also to increase the tax rate for individuals' resource growth by two-thirds up to $250. 000 (excluding certain amounts) in that tax year.
On June 11, 2024, the House of Commons voted on a Notice of Change (NWMM) outlining the changes to the Income Tax Act (Canada) (ITA) to implement this proposed tax increase.
The August 12 proposal includes the structure of the changes in the NWMM version. It also published an explanatory document of all the changes that are significant to implement the connection tax rate increase for resource growth.
Deep Dividend Bill
The Cash Dividend Account (CDA) is a relative account that tracks the untaxed portion of cash gains realized by individuals and corporations minus the disallowed portion of cash losses. CDAs are considered a tax-beneficial attribute for personal corporations because the qualifying balance of a CDA is tax-free by treating distributions to Canadian resident shareholders as "capital dividends".
The proposed change in the cash gains indexation rate will affect the calculation of the CDA because the tax-free portion of cash gains and tax-free portion of cash losses realized by personal corporations will be one-third (from one-half).
As described in the latest information on June 19, 2024, the bill considers the special standards for the calculation of the connection rate of the taxation year (migration year), including June 24 and 25, 2024. 。 In general, the transitional year is the coordination rate between 50%of the old tax rate and 66 2/3%of the new tax rate, depending on the timing and number of no n-investment in the fiscal year. In other words, the "mixing" connection rate between 50%and 66. 2/3%will be applied in the fiscal year, and is this generally the division taken before June 25, 2024? The company intends to secure an appropriate continuous connection to taxpayers in the fiscal year, depending on whether it was performed later.
However, the "mixed tax rate" applied to the fiscal year is possible to apply the "mixed tax rate" only at the end of the fiscal year, but it is possible to settle the CDD balance at any time. Because it was "time analysis", it was difficult to calculate CDD. Such an environment sells cash gain before June 25, 2024, and then 50 % of capital dividends (that is, ta x-exempt part. This tax rate is not applied from this tax rate to the end of the fiscal year. In that case, if the mixed tax rate in the fiscal year exceeds 50 %, the ta x-exempt profit will be less than 50 %, and taxpayers will excessively distribute CDA (possibility of penalty). There is).
The service on August 12 features this problem. In fact, the manual states that "the corporation does not have the options to the transfer rate for the migration year until the end of the fiscal year." This point states, "In order to determine the dividend amount that can be distributed as a ta x-exempt capital dividend, each may be inconsistent with the calculation of the CDA balance that faces the year." 。
In order to solve this temporary problem, the new Article 89 (1. 4) (a) shall as follows in the calculation of CDA, the tax cash gain or tolerated cash loss due to the sale of real estate in the fiscal year. 。

- In other articles, in the calculation of CDDs in the transitioning year, each disposal is generally used in the fiscal year (excluding NPC calculation), controlling the mixed tax rate that is generally only for the end of the fiscal year. Depending on the disposal period, 50 %, the previous connection fee, or a new connection rate, is applied.
- Hybrid surplus
- In the service on August 12, the "hybrid surplus" was divided into two surplus pools, "Legacy Hybrid Rice" and "Successful Hybrid Retal". The dividends paid from these two surplus pools will be handled as much as possible at the Canadian recipient. The dividend of the hybrid surplus was initially treated as one paid by an affiliate legacy hybrid surplus (up to the size of legacy hybrid surplus), and reserves were paid from the relevant company's successor hybrid surplus.

- The current rules stipulate whether or not the income tax rules must be paid by the income tax rules from excess, excess tax exemption, tax exceeding, excess taxation, or before purchase. Alternatively, you can deduct a specific part of the dividend obtained from your foreign affiliated company, depending on whether a specific tax has been paid for these dividends. Hybrid surplus (and hybrid deficiency) generally reflects cash and losses realized by foreig n-affiliated companies, especially with the sale of other foreig n-affiliated companies and the sale of partnership functions, It is also reflected when the dividends obtained from the hybrid surplus of these other affiliated companies are paid.

On the other hand, the calculation of the "successor's hybrid supe r-excess amount" provides only the profit and loss of funding from the disposal on June 24, 2024 and the dividend paid to foreign connectors from hybrid avian dance. Huh. Taxpayers need to track separately for taxes applied to the excess inheritance hybrid of foreig n-affiliated companies and the successor's hybrid excess.

The dividend paid from the acquired hybrid excess (due to an increase in funds that must be taxed at a 50 % connection tax rate) will actually receive the dividend paid from the hybrid excess, that is, the government. On the other hand, only 1/3 of these dividends will be deducted for dividends paid from the successor's hybrid excess (due to an increase in funds that need to be taxed at 66 2/3 % of tax rates). Deductions in the hybrid basic tax also apply to these dividends.

Unfortunately, these proposals (along with the new Fabi mode below) are exempted from participation, which is simply applied to the receipt of the receipt from foreign branches, rather than the approaches adopted in many European and other countries. It is even more complicated to the system of foreign branches that are already too complicated just by providing widely. With the introduction of the Minimum Global Tax Act in Canada and other new measures, the reforms needed to simplify the international taxation rules that Canada has been introduced over the past few decades I hope to pass at a certain point. As a result, administrative costs and tax compliance costs are reduced, promoting investment beyond borders by Canadians.
The minimum international tax law
The supplement on August 12 includes the amendment of the Minimum International Tax Law (GMTA) and the Tax Type Treaty Act.
GMTA was passed on June 20, 2024, and is a Canadian version of the second components, part of the two components of the two components for OECD's international tax reform. In accordance with the adopted law, GMTA includes two tax measures. In other words, 15 % of taxation for income raising according to the withdrawal withdrawal rules (IIR), and 15 % of the eligible tax increase (QDMTT) in Japan. The adopted GMTA has accurately repeated OECD's bas e-controlled model rules (GLOBE) and three administrative guidance issued until 2024, but the third ta x-exempt income provided by the Globe model rules. Rules (UTPR) are not included. IIR and QDMTT will be applied from the tax year starting after December 31, 2023.
The proposal on August 12 is a USPR, USPR migration safe, and GMTA to implement several elements of OECR administrative guidance (4th set) announced on June 17, 2024. Includes the following major changes to:
{Space}
UTPR: Fresh Part 2. 1 The GMTA establishes the UTPR standard, which is designed to serve as a preliminary standard for the other two measures (i. e., IDK and CDMTT). The UTPR standard sets out the formula for determining the joint USPR replenishment amount, the Canadian replenishment amount, and the founder's USPR replenishment amount in Canada. In the international frontline, the exclusion of replenishment amounts from IPRs is operationalized from the payment of replenishment amounts. The UTPR standard (including the USP non-modest port election, described below) is proposed to be used for multinational enterprise groups trained for money that commence on or after December 31, 2024. These conditions are in accordance with the federal government's previous statements regarding the implementation of the USP in Canada.
{space}
VTPR "safe harbor" election: The transitional measures provided by the actual tax on the profits of blue chip enterprises in the jurisdiction (the CMP jurisdiction) that contains the MNE group's ultimate parent company (KMP) are zero, provided that they are actually used in all appropriate circumstances.
{space}
If you choose a UPE jurisdiction
{space}
The jurisdiction's corporate tax rate increases by more than 20% UPE
{space}
The fiscal year runs from January 1, 2026 to December 31, 2026.
The transitional non-GAS harbor UTPR is necessary to provide time for countries that have not yet received a qualifying Pillar 2 standard (mainly the United States) to gain traction before the implementation of the USP. In particular, the USPR (along with similar rules in other countries) could allow Canada and other states to tax some of the low profits of U. S. companies and their overseas subsidiaries. In fact, it is not surprising that such an opportunity has led to all sorts of possible response measures being proposed that would require the United States to tax Canada and other states on these profits.
- Securities organizations: The fourth AG acknowledged that VDICT excludes the "securitization organization" without losing the status of VDITT's safe harbor. Canada introduces a new definition of a "securitized company" (reflecting the definition of the same term in the 4th AG), revising the other provisions of GMTA, and (1) the structure that is subject to securitization. This exception is implemented by not paying QDMTT to the entity (or does not pay QDMTT for securitized companies), and (2) the target of securitization is not generated or responsible for QDMTT. I decided to do it. Since QDMTT is excluded in Canada, the exclusion provisions of OECD are applied, and the income of a Canadian securitization company may be subject to income tax based on IIR or, in some cases, UTPR. This revised proposal is generally applied to the fiscal year of the qualified multinational company group, which will start after December 31, 2023.
- The definition of pass-through company reverse hybrid company has been abolished, and the only GMTA regulations that have been using the abolished terms, paragraph 17 (6) (income financial accounting-Pass-through company) reflecting the deletion. However, it will be revised to reflect the 4th AG approach to the "pas s-through" company for GLOBE. This amendment will be applied to the fiscal year of the qualified MNE group, which will start after December 31, 2023.

This amendment will be applied to the fiscal year of the qualified MNE group, which will start after December 31, 2023.
Note
Deferred tax assets: The vesting criteria in section 48(5)(b) of the GMTA have been amended to reflect the fourth administration of deferred tax assets relating to transfers of assets prior to the GloBE transition year (typically the first year in which an MNE group company is subject to a qualified QDMTT, IIR or UTPR in the member firm's jurisdiction). The amendment provides that deferred tax assets are available for GMTA purposes even if they would not have arisen or would have arisen in a different amount in accordance with applicable accounting practices, and includes deferred tax assets of the transferor (or an entity paying tax to the transferor under a lump sum tax regime) that have been reversed or confirmed not to have arisen solely because the gain arising from the transfer has been consolidated into the transferor's domestic taxable profits. To implement the fourth AG rules, a new section 48(5. 1) has been added, according to which the creation of a deferred tax asset pursuant to section 48(5)(b)(ii) cannot reduce the adjusted recognised tax of any element of the organisation. The proposed adjustments would be effective for fiscal years beginning in the following periods:
Although the August 12 service proposed to introduce some components of the Fourth AG, almost all of the key simplification measures, key ideas and layout of the Fourth AG, including the election of unbilled amounts over a five-year accrual period, were not reflected in the August 12 service. The recently adopted GMTA may be followed by other amendments.
In addition to the changes to the GMTA, the August 12 proposal amended the Income Tax Treaty Interpretation Act to provide that Canada's use of the GMTA is not affected by Canada's tax treaties and that Canada may not provide relief for taxes levied pursuant to the GMTA. These solutions would be effective from January 1, 2024. It is important to note that these changes allow Canada's UTPR to defer Canada's previous commitments under bilateral tax treaties. Nearly all commentators believe that the absence of such a termination could limit the use of the UTPR.
Synthetic Equity Agreements
Inter-business dividends paid by taxable Canadian corporations (Canadian residents) are generally not taxed in concert with the ITA. This important principle has practical applications in which collective income is not taxed more than once. Exceptions to this principle are expressed in the name of narrow-scope rules to prevent tax evasion, and are specific to certain transactions that allow for a long period of time to pass. The structure of the "synthetic joint-participation agreement" rules proposed in the August 12 Service represents a gradual expansion of these rules to fight tax evasion that is not shown in the 2024 Budget.
The 2024 Budget proposed to eliminate the following two exceptions to the (c) "synthetic joint-participation agreement" test for dividend tax avoidance: In principle, when a taxpayer, by agreement or understanding, gives the other party all or literally all of the risk of loss, the ability to obtain profits or income in respect of the DRA promotion. The ITA excludes from this standard contracts traded on recognized derivatives exchanges and "synthetic agreements for shared participation" if the taxpayer clarifies in real time that the counterparty is not a rule, tax-exempt, or Canadian resident. )
The August 12 proposal appears to include plans for legislative measures aimed at implementing the service of "synthetic shared participation" in the 2024 budget. Among these measures, the place of (d) of the standard for evidence destruction by dividends is also postponed. The place of (d) is used when the place of (c) of "synthetic shared participation" is not used. Pursuant to (d), a person must enter into one or a certain number of contracts or agreements that have the effect of obtaining all or literally all of the risks of losses and the possibility of obtaining profits with respect to the DRA-tolika, and as part of a series of transactions, the transactor who is not interested in taxation is obliged to obtain all or literally all of the risks of losses and the possibility of obtaining profits with respect to the DRA. It must be reasonable to conclude that one of the purposes of the series of transactions was to obtain such a result.
Budget 2024 states that the purpose of the proposed rule changes for synthetic equity arrangements are “arrangements that provide all or substantially all of the risks of loss and opportunities for gain or profit (‘economic exposure’) with respect to the equity to another person.” However, there is nothing in the August 12 proposal to allow such economic exposure to anyone.
In particular, the requirement that a taxpayer must “transfer” the risks of loss and opportunities for gain or profit with respect to its DRA interests under the current synthetic equity agreement rules would, in part, introduce the concept of paragraph (d) that the effect of the agreement or arrangement is to “eliminate” the taxpayer’s risks of loss and opportunities for gain or profit with respect to its DRA interests. However, the August 12 proposal applies when a taxpayer eliminates risks of loss or opportunities with respect to its DRA interests, whether it provides such risks or opportunities to the counterparty or (as in the previous paragraph (d) rules) the counterparty receives such risks or opportunities. This significant change was not announced as part of the 2024 Budget and concerns facts not included in the Budget.
- Trust reporting
- In addition to proposing to amend the trust reporting rules, the August 12 proposal also proposes to repeal the current rules for years ending after December 30, 2024. Combined with the suspension of CRA administrative actions for the 2023 tax year, the old rules will no longer apply in most cases. The new rules apply to years ending after December 30, 2025. Because most trusts have a December 31 fiscal year end, this means that under the new rules, the 2025 tax year will be the first year that reporting is required for affected trusts.
The Ministry of Money changes the criteria for reporting "pure" trust, "to reduce the number of Canadians with trust and simplify the management burden," which "needs to submit a report". "
What about partnerships with real estate through a general partner who has already submitted a specific partnership statement that has a huge share of a huge share?
Public companies in the petroleum and gas categories usually have a specific negotiator of the "Canadian resource" that refers to oil and gas resources, which is usually excluding the sediment of sinning and rocks. There are all opportunities to apply, and the benefits are still provided. Canadian resource properties do not link to what they have actually advocated by the industry because they do not link to tangible assets, and the expansion does not apply to no n-listed companies that are exactly the same. 。
- The current report criteria for "naked trust" introduced in the impact of 2022 are based on (i) "explicit trains", (ii) for the purpose of civil law-law or judicial conclusions. In any case, a trust that has not been developed (here is called the "Civil Code") imposes a debt on reporting that the trust that has been intentionally excluded from the report is not counted. In the proposal on August 12, the existing schedule is more intentionally laid out, new exceptions are added, and directly prohibited trusts and civil law are excluded from the direct responsibilities of submitting reports. We have expanded some of the exceptions.
- Auxiliary report on reporting
Furthermore, the proposal on August 12 has expanded the list of trusts that abolish the trust report. It contains new exceptions applied to the indicated trust or civil trust.

For example, if a Limited Partnership General Partner is regarded as a legitimate owner of partnership property, it is clear that there is no duty to report.

Ant i-del the rules for important CCPC by CCPC and CFA
In the 2022 Federal Budget (BUDGET 2022), the Ministry of Finance proposed two measures for the ta x-led strategies used by private companies (CCPC) and their shareholders who receive investment revenue and carry out capital growth. Both measures were issued in August 2022. The first measure introduces the concept of "essential CCPC", which is included in the C-59 bill, which was approved by the royal family on June 20, 2024. The second measure, as expected, is intended for CCPC and those who have earned "highly mobility" investment profits through managed overseas related companies (CFA). Read the 2022 Federal Budget and August 2022's update for how Osler has dealt with both measures in the 2022 budget proposal.
The second CFA measures in the 2022 budget were widely criticized for being overly wide, and the Ministry of Finance reported that it would review the proposed approach. The offer on August 12 announced a revised version of the CFA-offer, and a limited number of companies that operate the service and real estate industries were limited to the selection system.
2022 offer about budget
According to the current ITA rules, a Canadian corporation taxpayer has a CFA that pays foreign taxes at a 25 % or more tax rate for income, which is "property income generated in foreign countries" (FAPI), a Canadian corporate taxpayer. If it is included in the Canadian income, the Canadian corporate taxpayer will receive the foreign tax deduction that completely offsets the corresponding FAPI of the taxpayer. In contrast, individuals who are taxpayers must pay 52 %, 63 % or higher tax rates in order to fully offset individual FAPIs.
Because of the existence of a perfect minus for corporate taxpayers paying foreign tax at a rate of 25% or more, CCPCs and their individual shareholders can write off the tax on inert investment income obtained through FFAs. The specific amount related to the FAPI remains connected to the profit pool at the joint rate (GRIP) CCPC. The GRIP connection gives the CCPC the right to distribute the FAPI as a dividend, which is taxed at the shareholder level at a lower rate.
- In order to conclude the difficulties of FAPI consolidation, relevant adjustments were proposed, and then methods of dividing repatriation, CCPCs between individual shareholders and significant CCPCs were proposed.
- (i) Exclusion of some disadvantages of CPC influenza developed by the repatriation of hybrid excess and taxable excess from overseas related parties, and (ii) payment of withholding tax on intercompany dividends paid from taxable excess.
- Dividends on CPC capital during repatriation include (i) the negative amount of intercompany dividends declared on dividends paid from hybrid surplus, (ii) the negative amount of intercompany dividends declared on dividends paid from taxable surplus, (iii) the negative amount of corporate tax, (ii) the negative amount of intercompany dividends declared on dividends paid from taxable surplus less tax paid on dividends, and (iii) the amount of tax paid declared on repatriation of taxable surplus less withholding tax paid.

- This exception is used only when selected in cooperation with the detailed proposal of 93. 4 (2).
- The supplement on August 12 introduces a Fabi deduction for calculating negative under Article 113 (1) (b) and (C) for the tax dividends related to Fabi, and the right opinion " We have introduced reports on surplus taxes, surplus, and surplus favi.
- While any exception is a positive change, the FABI exception is relatively limited and will not provide relief to many CCPCs (and de facto CCPCs). CFAs engage in activities that generate FAPI income, have significant commercial ties with foreign jurisdictions or have commercial or regulatory reasons for doing so, conduct business through foreign companies, and are already subject to high foreign tax rates.
