Anderson v Benson Trithardt Noren LLP, 2016 SKCA 120, aff'd 2017 SCC CanLii 8568-- summary under Rectification & Rescission Summary Under Tax Topics- General Concepts- Rectification & Rescission drop-down documents could not be declared retroactive to the previously-agreed effective date, as this would undercut the Tax Court The taxpayer’s accountants met with him on October 6, 2011, when it was agreed that he would transfer personally-owned land and equipment on s. 85 rollover basis to his corporation in order to facilitate paying off a loan owing by him to the corporation. ... In dismissing the appeal, Lane J. stated (at paras 29, 34): … The Chambers judge was correct to limit the application of the rectification remedy as he did. He saw the application for a declaration for what it was – an attempt to obtain equitable relief not available from the Tax Court, which is a superior court of record but not a court of inherent jurisdiction, and to thereby attempt to determine the outcome of an assessment appeal by essentially binding the hands of that Court. … The Chambers judge properly limited his decision to the issue between the appellants themselves. ...

Samson, 2023 QCCA 332-- summary under Rectification & Rescission Summary Under Tax Topics- General Concepts- Rectification & Rescission date of Quebec agreement did not reflect the parties’ existing intention to realize a loss The respondent (Samson) and a corporation (Bourgade) implemented a plan set out in a tax-planning memo of a tax advisor that contemplated that they would transfer their shares of a corporation (CRP) in December 2013 after having satisfied the conditions for realizing a business investment loss under s. 50(1)(b)(iii). This result was premised on their having had a November 30, 2013 taxation year – which had occurred for Bourgade, but not for Samson who, as an individual, had a calendar taxation year. ... This is not a case where the taxpayer is seeking a tax benefit that he did not anticipate at the time of his tax planning. … The answer might have been different if the rectification had given the taxpayer an additional tax benefit that he had not anticipated at the time of his tax planning. ...

Amos-Yeo, [2015] EWHC 2480 (Ch)-- summary under Rectification & Rescission Summary Under Tax Topics- General Concepts- Rectification & Rescission number of transferred shares rectified to access capital gains incentive In order that the life tenants of two trusts (the 1968 and 1987 settlements) could access a reduced rate of U.K. capital gains tax on a sale of shares of a company held by the two trusts, it was necessary that they have held 5% of the nominal capital and of the voting rights for one year prior to closing the sale. ... In granting an application to rectify the agreements for the sales to the life tenants to increase the number of shares sold, the Court stated (at paras. 29, 36, 38): As Barling J in Giles, [2014] EWHC 1373 points out, the distinction drawn in this criterion is between a mistake as to the effect of a document and a misapprehension of what the fiscal or other consequences are of a document which does not in fact misimplement the parties' or donor's intention. … [T]he parties' intention was that the defendants should receive…enough shares…to satisfy the ER requirements. ... …[T] herefore the claimants have shown a sufficient mistake to found the jurisdiction to rectify the agreements. … [T]he parties to the agreements had a sufficiently specific intention which was not reflected in the agreements as executed by them. ...
