VANCOUVER DISTRICT OFFICE B.C. TAX STUDY GROUPS ROUND TABLE
Q. 26: Paid-up capital of shares owned by non-resident
Section 84.1 permits a transferor to receive, without triggering a deemed dividend, non-share consideration having a value equal to the greater of the adjusted cost base and the paid-up capital of the shares being transferred. However, the maximum value of the non-share consideration that a non-resident transferor can receive, without triggering a deemed dividend under section 212.1, is equal to the paid-up capital of the transferred shares.
What is the reason for this difference between section 84.1 and section 212.1?
Department's Position
This question raises a tax policy concern that should be directed by the questioner to officials from the Department of Finance.
