Associated corporation's taxation year ending after the taxation year of the reporting corporation for a same calendar year

When the associated corporation’s taxation year is ending after the taxation year of the reporting corporation for a same calendar year, the amount that must be taken into account for the associated corporation is the amount with respect to its latest taxation year ending during the taxation year of the reporting corporation. If the taxation year of the reporting corporation that must be taken into account is the previous taxation year, the taxation year to take into account for the associated corporation will be the second prior taxation year.

Based on the taxation year end of the associated corporation, the calculation will take into account the amounts posted for the current taxation year, the previous taxation year or, if applicable, the second preceding taxation year.

Example: In the situation below, the associated corporation's taxation year is ending after the taxation year of the reporting corporation for a same calendar year. For the associated corporation, the amount to take into account for the previous taxation year is that of the second previous taxation year.



This applies to the following lines of Schedule 9 WORKCHART, listed based on their respective sections:

  • “General information – Related and associated corporations”

Taxable capital employed in Canada

  • “Schedule 511 – Corporate minimum tax – Total assets and revenue for associated corporations”

  • “Québec CO-17 – Corporation income tax return”

Paid-up capital of prior taxation year

  • "Québec CO-1029.8.36.II – Tax credit for investment and innovation"

Gross revenue of the corporation for the preceding taxation year

When rolling forward the return, the amount entered for the current taxation year will be carried over to the line in respect of the previous taxation year and, if applicable, the amount entered for the prior taxation year will be carried forward to the line relating to the second prior year.

“General information” section

The “General information” section contains essential information on the related or associated corporation, such as the name, the account number, the relationship code and, for the associated corporation, the association code as well as the taxation year covered.

In order for certain calculations to be performed correctly, you must select the appropriate check box.

  • The corporation is a cooperative or a credit union eligible for the small business deduction (SBD).

    This box is used to indicate whether the associated corporation is a cooperative or a credit union that must be considered to be a CPCC for the allocation of the business limit for purposes of the SDB. For more information, refer to subsection 136(1) and 137(7) ITA.

    In addition, for taxation years that start after 2018, when this box is selected, the cooperative’s or credit union’s passive investment income is not taken into account in the business limit reduction calculation for the group of associated corporations.
  • Is the corporation an insurance corporation deemed not to be a private corporation under section 141.1 ITA?

    For taxation years that start after 2018, this question is used to indicate whether the associated corporation is an insurance corporation, other than a life insurance corporation, that is a private corporation covered by subsection 141.1 ITA. When the answer to this question is “Yes,” the insurance corporation’s passive investment income is not taken into account in the business limit reduction calculation for the group of associated corporations.
  • Is the corporation covered by sections 21.20.7 to 21.20.9 QTA (it is not associated with the filing corporation for purposes of the Québec tax return)?

    When you answer “Yes” to this question, the corporation is not considered to be associated with the filing corporation for purposes of the Québec tax return. As a result, it is not taken into account in the calculations involving all the corporations associated with the filing corporation, and the information relating to this corporation is not displayed in the tables of the Québec forms showing the associated corporations. However, the corporation is still considered to be associated with the filing corporation for the federal and for all other provincial calculations.
  • If you answered “Yes” to the previous question, is the corporation related to the filing corporation?

    When you answer “Yes” to this question, the information relating to this corporation is displayed in Form CO-17S.9 (Jump Code: Q9), and the code indicated in the Relationship code column of this form is “4” to reflect the fact that this corporation is related but not associated with the reporting corporation for purposes of the Québec tax return.

The option shown below allows you to display only the sections that apply to the filing corporation according to the provincial or territorial jurisdiction selected in the Identification form.
