Technical Interpretation Request: Taxable Income Earned in a Province
We are writing in reply to your email of February 8, 2005 requesting our views on your understanding of our letter dated October 8, 2002 (document E 2002-0139335).
We agree with your understanding. In determining its "income earned in the year in a province" under Part IV of the Income Tax Regulations, a corporation involved in a joint venture would include in the calculation set out in subparagraph 402(3)(a)(ii) of the Income Tax Regulations its share of the salaries and wages of the joint venture employees that are directly paid by the corporation to the employees of the permanent establishment in the province. Normally, that would occur where the corporation is legally responsible for paying the employee. We agree with your view that amounts reimbursed between corporate joint venture participants would not affect the calculation in subparagraph 402(3)(a)(ii) as these amounts would not be "salaries and wages paid in the year by the corporation to employees...".
We trust the above comments are of assistance.
