  • Marginal note:Deemed overpayment

    (5) For the purposes of this section,

    • (a) the amount of any deemed overpayment by an eligible entity under subsection (2) in respect of a qualifying period cannot exceed the amount claimed by the qualifying entity — in the application referred to in paragraph (a) of the definition qualifying entity in subsection (1) — in respect of that qualifying period; and

    • (b) if an eligible employee is employed in a week by two or more qualifying entities that do not deal with each other at arm’s length, the total amount of the deemed overpayment under subsection (2) in respect of the eligible employee for that week shall not exceed the amount that would arise if the eligible employee’s eligible remuneration for that week were paid by one qualifying entity.

  • Marginal note:Anti-avoidance — qualifying revenues

    (6) The qualifying revenue of an eligible entity for a current reference period for a qualifying period is deemed to be equal to the qualifying revenue of the eligible entity for the relevant prior reference period, if

    • (a) the eligible entity, or a person or partnership not dealing at arm’s length with the eligible entity, enters into a transaction or participates in an event (or a series of transactions or events) or takes an action (or fails to take an action) — other than, for greater certainty, a decision under subparagraph (a)(ii) or (b)(ii) of the definition qualifying revenue in subsection (1) or the decision to use one of the methods of computing qualifying revenues under subsection (4) — that has the effect of reducing the qualifying revenues (determined without reference to this subsection) of the eligible entity for the current reference period; and

    • (b) it is reasonable to conclude that one of the main purposes of the transaction, event, series or action in paragraph (a) is to

      • (i) cause an eligible entity to qualify for the deemed overpayment under subsection (2) in respect of that qualifying period, or

      • (ii) in respect of qualifying periods described in any of paragraphs (c.2) to (d) of the definition qualifying period in subsection (1), increase the amount of a deemed overpayment under subsection (2).

  • Marginal note:Partnerships

    (7) A partnership is deemed

    • (a) for the purposes of subsection (2) and subsections 152(3.4) and 160.1(1), to be a taxpayer; and

    • (b) for the purposes of subsection (2), to have a liability under this Part for a taxation year in which a qualifying period ends.

  • Marginal note:Prescribed amounts

    (8) For the purposes of the definition base percentage in subsection (1), the following may be prescribed:

    • (a) the percentages in subparagraphs (a)(i), (b)(i), (c)(i), (d)(i) and (e)(i); and

    • (b) the factors in subparagraphs (a)(ii), (b)(ii), (c)(ii), (d)(ii) and (e)(ii).

  • Marginal note:Deeming rules — revenue decline tests

    (9) If, absent the application of this subsection,

    • (a) an eligible entity meets the conditions in paragraph (c) of the definition qualifying entity in subsection (1) in respect of a particular qualifying period described in any of paragraphs (a) to (c) of the definition qualifying period in subsection (1), then the eligible entity is deemed to meet the conditions of that paragraph in respect of the immediately following qualifying period; or

    • (b) a lower revenue reduction percentage is determined in respect of an eligible entity for a particular qualifying period described in any of paragraphs (c.2) to (d) of the definition qualifying period in subsection (1) than for the immediately preceding qualifying period, then the revenue reduction percentage in respect of the eligible entity for the particular qualifying period is deemed to be equal to its revenue reduction percentage for the immediately preceding qualifying period.
