Additional Practice Problem - Solutions Solution to Self Study Problem Twenty - 3 When an individual leaves Canada, there is a deemed disposition of all property owned at the time of departure at fair market value with certain exceptions. For each of the listed assets, the tax consequences that result from Mr. Rankin’s departure are as follows: City Home* Real property situated in Canada is exempted from the deemed disposition rule. There would be no deemed disposition and no tax consequences at the time of Jonathan's departure. However, the city home would be classified as Taxable Canadian Property and, as a result, any gain on the disposition of the property would be subject to Canadian taxation even though Mr. Rankin is no longer a Canadian resident. Cottage* As was the case with the city home, for the cottage there would be no deemed disposition and no tax consequences at the time of Jonathan's departure. However, the cottage would also be classified as Taxable Canadian Property and, as a result, any gain on the disposition of the property would be subject to Canadian taxation even though Mr. Rankin is no longer a Canadian resident. *While this is not a required part of the solution, we would note that either the city home and/or the cottage could qualify for the principal residence exemption. However, this would require an election for a deemed disposition of the relevant property. Automobile While gains or personal use property are taxable, losses are not deductible. Given this, there would be no tax consequences associated with the deemed disposition of the automobile. Cash There are never any tax consequences associated with dispositions of cash. RRSP As an “excluded right! RRSP assets are exempted from the deemed disposition rule. There would be no deemed disposition of the RRSP assets and no tax consequences when Jonathan departs from Canada. Payments from the RRSP will be taxed under Part XlII when they are withdrawn and remitted to Mr. Rankin as a non-resident. Shares In A CCPC There is no exemption from the deemed disposition rules for any type of shares. There would be a deemed disposition of these shares on Mr. Rankin’s departure resulting in a taxable capital gain of $7500 [(1/2)($80,000 - $65,000)]. Shares In Public Companies There would be a deemed disposition of these shares, resulting in a taxable capital gain of $39,000 [(1/2)($120,000 - $42,000)].
Solution to Self Study Problem Twenty - 4 1. Foreign investment reporting is not required. Since the cottage is personal use property, the fact that its total cost is greater than $100,000 is not relevant. No foreign investment reporting is required when assets are used in an active business. Foreign investment reporting is required for the shares held outside of the RRSP. The cost of one-half of the shares is greater than $100,000 [(1/2)($286,000) = $143,000]. The fact that the current fair market price is below $100,000 is not relevant. Specified foreign property held in an RRSP is excluded from form T1135 reporting requirements. 4. Foreign investment reporting is not required. The total of the amount owing on the mortgage for the current year ($68,000) and the highest balance in the U.S. bank account for the year ($12,000) total less than $100,000. 5. Foreign investment reporting is not required since the yacht is not real property. In addition, itis personal use property. 6. Foreign investment reporting is not required for personal use property. If this property was used primarily for personal use (50 percent or more), it would not have to be reported. How- ever, as the information in the problem states that it is used primarily as a rental property, it would be subject to the foreign investment reporting rules.
Solution to Self Study Problem Twenty - 6 The Hispanic Ltd. tax withholding equals 25 percent ($5,750 + $23,000) of the dividend paid. The Deutsch Inc. tax withholding equals 10 percent ($1,400 + $14,000) of the dividend paid. As the foreign non-business tax credit is limited to 15 percent, the additional 10 percent ($2,300) withheld by Foreign Country 1 will have to be deducted in the determination of Mona’s Net Income For Tax Purposes. Net Employment Income $ 87,000 Hispanic Ltd. Gross Dividends (No Gross Up) 23,000 Deutsch Inc. Gross Dividends (No Gross Up) 14,000 Excess Withholding [(25% - 15%)($23,000)] ( 2,300) Net Income For Tax Purposes And Taxable Income $121,700 Using this result, her federal Tax Payable would be calculated as follows: Using this result, her federal Tax Payable would be calculated as follows: Tax On First $97,069 $17230 Tax On Next $24,631 ($121,700 - $97069) At 26% 6,404 Tax Payable Before Credits $23,634 Basic Personal Credit ($13,229) El ( 856) CPP (2732 Canada Employment (1,245 Total Credit Amount ($18,062) Applicable Rate 15% ( 2,709) Tax Otherwise Payable $20,925 Foreign Tax Credits (See Note) Hispanic Ltd.
