Introduction [1]              The Appellant, Aeronautic Development Corporation (“ADC”), claimed refundable scientific research and experimental development tax credits at the rate of 35% (“Refundable ITCs”) in respect of expenditures that it incurred in its 2009, 2010, and 2011 taxation years in connection with the prototyping and certification of an amphibious aircraft known as the Seawind. [2]              The Minister of National Revenue (the “Minister”) disallowed the Refundable ITCs on the basis that the Appellant was not a “Canadian controlled private corporation” (“CCPC”) as defined in the Income Tax Act, (Canada) (the “Act”) throughout its 2009, 2010, and 2011 taxation years.
