REASONS FOR JUDGMENT
Lamarre J.
[1]
The appellant is appealing
from the determination made by the Minister of National Revenue (Minister) dated
June 20, 2011, reducing the Child Tax Benefit (CTB) for the payment period of
July 2011 to June 2012 for the 2010 base year (as shown in the calculation
found in Schedule B of the Reply to the Notice of Appeal).
[2]
This appeal is directly
related to the appeal of her spouse, Abdeltif Farah, 2012-1649(IT)I, who
received an income replacement benefit from the Commission de la santé et de la
sécurité du travail (CSST) for $90,758.36 during the 2010 taxation year.
[3]
This amount increased
the appellant's adjusted income that is taken into consideration when
establishing CTB entitlement for the 2010 year.
[4]
Essentially, the
adjusted income as defined at section 122.6 of the Income Tax Act (ITA)
is calculated as the adjusted income defined at section 122.5 of the ITA that
is taken into consideration for the Goods and Services Tax (GST) credit her
spouse claimed for the 2010 base year.
[5]
The adjusted income is
defined as follows at section 122.6:
INCOME TAX ACT
Division E – Computation of tax
Subdivision
a.1 – Canada Child Tax Benefit
Section 122.6: Definitions.
In this subdivision,
"adjusted
income" — "adjusted income", of an
individual for a taxation year, means the total of all
amounts each of which would be the income for the year of the individual or of
the person who was the individual’s cohabiting spouse or common-law partner at
the end of the year if in computing that income no amount were
(a)
included
(i)
under paragraph 56(1)(q.1) or subsection 56(6),
(ii) in respect of any gain from
a disposition of property to which section 79 applies, or
(iii) in respect of a gain
described in subsection 40(3.21), or
(b)
deductible under paragraph 60(y) or (z);
[6]
I refer to the reasons
in the Abdeltif Farah case, 2012-1649(IT)I, that include the reasons that
justify disallowing the GST credit. These are the same reasons the appellant
cannot claim a CTB amount that is greater than the amount granted by the
Minister.
[7]
The appeal from the
determination is therefore dismissed.
Signed at Ottawa, Canada, this 17th day of January
2013.
