Question 15 - Related Person Test in Paragraph 55(3)(a)
Can Revenue Canada clarify the point in time when the related person test in paragraph 55(3)(a) should be determined:
a) when property is disposed of,
b) throughout the series of transactions in question, or
c) at the end of the series of transactions in question?
Department's Response
It is our view that the test should be applied at the time of the relevant disposition of property or increase in interest that is referred to in paragraph 55(3)(a).
