Under Canadian Tax Law, there is an election for companies to defer recaptures and capital gains of property that was involuntarily or voluntarily disposed of. In this research paper, we attempt to prove that the election is a useful taxation strategy for businesses so that they are not subject to pay taxes on capital gains or recaptures until such a time where they may acquire an eligible replacement property that will help them earn business income. We will provide facts, definitions, and examples to illustrate the use of this election throughout the paper by explaining the capital cost allowance system, the offset available to business for capital gains and recaptures, the election process, the rules regarding replacing former business …show more content…

Some of the colonists didn't want to be taxed with out thier consent, but it was such a small tax, why should it matter? The Patriots felt that they should be represented and shouldn't be taxed without being properly represented in Parliament. The Loyalists however, felt that they should be "loyal" to the King. It is only fair if the colonists pay for the war, fought to protect them.
In 1989 Prime Minister Brian Mulroney proposed the idea of a national sales tax of 9%. During that time almost every province in Canada already had its own provincial sales tax, that was apart from Alberta. The purpose of this sales tax was to replace the 13.5% Manufacturers' Sales Tax (MST) that the Canadian government put on manufactured goods. Manufacturers were worried that the tax did no good to their sales internationally. The GST was also planned t0 replace the Federal Telecommunications Tax which was 11%. Although the GST tax was the cost most Canadians paid towards the MST tax, most Canadians disapproved of the tax. The other parties in Parliament also disapproved of the idea, as well as three PC Members of Parliament, David Kilgour,

The statement of reserves should be reviewed, since the acquisition of the tavern, through the purchase of the seller’s interest, results in the buyer, Ms. Growne accepting both known and unknown liabilities of the business prior to her ownership. In addition, by reviewing the financial statements to look at the net operating gain or loss, Ms. Growne can determine if there is a loss she can offset against her other sources of income. For some individuals, the idea of being able to offset other income with these losses incurred prior to ownership is appealing, due to the tax benefit that may result. However, if the buyer does not have significate income to be offset or is not in a higher tax brackets, this benefit of the acquisition through interest becomes less attractive. In addition, if the sellers basis in the assets are significantly less than the assets fair market value, the buyer is likely to incur greater gains on the assets in the future, resulting in a higher taxable income and leading to negative tax implication. In contrast, if the assets of the business were purchased, the buyer would not be susceptible to prior liabilities and the seller must examine their basis for each asset, compare it with the assets current market value, and incur any applicable gains or losses, intern shifting the tax consequences of an increase in
Feudalism is a historical social construct where the King awarded parcels of land to the nobleman who contributed to the military (Ex, train knights, fight). As a result, each nobleman controlled their land accordingly to the animals and peasants/vassals (farmers) they were in charge of. However due to the absence of an organized law system, each nobleman held different judgments so inconsistency in penalties and sentences were prevalent. It was later brought to the King’s attention to the unfair and sometimes cruel treatments citizens endured from their nobleman and also realized that since the King didn’t deal with every law case anymore, they no longer agreed to the monarch system. This is modernly known as the Magna Carta. Feudalism was vital in shaping Canadian laws as no one is above the law today and citizens legally must be treated equally. Noticeably, military has always been relevant in history and eliminating

P. L. ARYA Abstract: Income trust as a business structure became increasingly popular in Canada since 2003. Income trust structure gave companies advantage of shifting their tax burden on to the investor. The investor, on the other hand, received steady and higher than the market rate of return on invested capital and also received capital gains in the form of ‘return of capital’. When large Canadian corporations were in the process or changing their structure from public corporations to income trusts, the government of Canada in a sudden shift of policy announced that it would remove the tax advantage of income trusts and put them on equal footing with
