TEXT
This policy statement discusses the application of subsection 149(3) where a person acquires a non-financial business as a going concern from a financial institution.
Pursuant to subsection 149(3), where a person purchases, in a taxation year a non-financial business as a going concern from a financial institution, and this activity was continued as the person's principal business after the purchase, the person is considered to be a financial institution for the remainder of that taxation year.
However, in the circumstances described above, it is the Department's position "not" to consider a person who purchases a non- financial business from a financial institution to be a financial institution unless it wants to be considered a financial institution.
