Dividend Gross Up And Tax
Credit
 Eligible Dividends
 45 Percent Gross
Up
 11/18 Of Gross Up
Tax Credit
 Non-Eligible
Dividends
 25 Percent Gross UP
 2/3 Of Gross Up Tax
Credit

If you haven’t covered this material recently
– Review the dividend gross up and tax
credit procedures in Chapter 9.

Integration Assumptions
 Combined
Federal/Provincial
Corporate Tax Rates
 Eligible Dividends = 31.03
%
 Non-Eligible Dividends =
20%
 Provincial Dividend Tax
Credit
 Eligible Dividends = 7/18
 Non-Eligible Dividends = 1/3
Actual Corporate Rates
 Public companies (pay eligible
dividend)
 Low: 32 percent in Quebec
 High 38.1 percent in PEI and Nova Scotia
 Too high for integration
 CCPCs (pay non-eligible dividends)

 Low: 16.1 percent in Alberta
 High: 21.1 percent in Quebec
 On average – integration works

Actual Dividend Tax
Credit
 Lowest:
21 percent of gross
up
 Highest:
39 percent of gross
up
 Effectiveness of
integration
depends on
province
Tax Basis Shareholders’
Equity
 Paid Up Capital
(PUC)
 Based On Legal
Stated Capital
 ITA 89(1)
 Similar To
Contributed Capital
in Accounting

Tax Basis Shareholders’
Equity
 Retained Earnings
 Pre-1972 Capital Surplus On
Hand
 Capital Gains Accrued Before
1972
 Realized After 1971
 Surplus Nothings
 Capital Dividend Account
 Post-1971 Undistributed
Surplus
 Treatment Of RDTOH (an
asset from a tax© 2007,

Paid Up Capital
 Importance
 An investment of after tax
funds
 Can be distributed tax free
 Note: PUC is not equal to ACB
 Defined
 Legal Capital (as per
corporate law)
 Limited number of
adjustments

Paid Up Capital
Example: J & J issues 1,000 shares of stock on January 1,

2007 for $10,000 ($10 Per Share) and an additional 3,000
shares on December 31, 2008 for $60,000 ($20 Per Share).
1/1/07: PUC = ACB = $10 Per Share
31/12/08: PUC = $70,000 ÷ 4,000 = $17.50 Per Share
-Individual buying on December 31, 2008
PUC = $17.50
ACB = $20.00

Capital Dividend Account
 General Idea
 Like RDTOH - A Tracking
Mechanism
 Private Companies Only
 With election, balance

can be distributed tax
free

Capital Dividend Account
 Components
 Untaxed Portion Of Net
Capital Gains
 Capital Dividends Received
 Untaxed Portion Of CEC
Gains
 Untaxed Life Insurance
Proceeds
 Reduced By Capital
Dividends Paid

Use Of Corporate Surplus
 Cash Dividends
 Reduces Post-1971
Undistributed Surplus
 Subject To Gross Up
And Tax Credit
Procedures
 Not Deductible To The
Corporation

Stock Dividends
Common Stock (100,000 Shares) $1,000,000
Retained Earnings 4,000,000
Total Shareholders’ Equity $5,000,000
A 10 percent stock dividend is declared (FMV = $70)
Transfer To PUC - [(100,000)(10%)($70)] = $700,000

Stock Dividends
Common Stock (110,000 Shares) $1,700,000
Retained Earnings 3,300,000
Total Shareholders’ Equity $5,000,000
Holder of 100 shares at $60 gets 10 new shares at $70

Taxable Dividend = $700
ACB = ($6,000 + $700)/110 = $60.90

Dividends In Kind
Example:
Distribute An Investment With A Cost Of $1
Million And A FMV Of $1.5 Million.
Recipient: Taxable Dividend Of $1.5 Million
Payor: Disposition At $1.5 Million, Capital

Gain Of $500,000

ITA 84(1) Deemed
Dividend
 General Idea
 PUC Increase In Excess Of
Net Asset Increase
 Creates Added Tax Free
Distribution
 ITA 53(1)(b) - Addition To
ACB Of Shares
 Exceptions
 Stock Dividends
 Shifts Between Classes
 Conversion Of Contributed
Surplus

ITA 84(2) Deemed
Dividends
 With winding-up under ITA 88(2):
 ITA 84(2) Deemed Dividend Equals The Excess
Of The Amount Distributed Over PUC

Components Of 84(2)
Dividend
 ITA 88(2)(b)
 Indicates That ITA 84(2)
Deemed Dividend Is Made
Up Of:
 Capital Dividend (If
Elected)
 Distribution Of Pre-1972
CSOH [Deemed Not To
Be A Dividend By
88(2)(b)(ii)]
 Residual Is A Taxable
Dividend
ITA 83(2) Capital
Dividend
 All Dividends Are Taxed If No
Election
 Election (Form T2054) Allows
Any Dividend To Be Treated
As A Capital Dividend (If
Balance Available In Capital
Dividend Account)
 Penalty For Excess Election
 Does Not Reduce ACB Of Shares
 Does Not Reduce PUC Of Shares

ITA 84(3) Deemed
Dividend
 On Redemption, Acquisition
By Corporation, Or
Cancellation Of Shares
 General Idea: If Payment To
Shareholder Exceeds PUC, The
Excess Is A Deemed Dividend
 If Payment Exceeds ACB, The
Excess Is A Capital Gain
 Remove ITA 84(3) Deemed
Dividend From POD under ITA
54

ITA 84(3) Example
Mr. Jones owns all 5,000 shares of L&L Ltd. The shares have a PUC
of $75,000 and his ACB is $40,000. One-half of the shares are
redeemed for $55,000.
Redemption Price $55,000
PUC [(1/2)($75,000)] ( 37,500)
ITA 84(3) Deemed Dividend $17,500

ITA 84(3) Example (Cont)
Redemption Price $55,000

84(3) Dividend ( 17,500)
POD $37,500
ACB ( 20,000)
Capital Gain $17,500

ITA 84(4) Deemed
Dividends
 A Liquidating Dividend
Involving a PUC
Reduction
 If Amount Distributed
Exceeds PUC, The Excess
Is A Deemed Dividend

ITA 84(4) Example
Company distributes $80 per share. The shares have a PUC Of

$60 Per Share.
• ITA 84(4) Deemed Dividend Of $20 Per Share
• PUC Down By $60 To Nil
• ACB Down By $60

ITA 84(4.1) Example
• If Public Company
• Entire distribution is treated as deemed dividend
• Exception if there is a redemption, acquisition, or
cancellation of shares

ITA 129(4) - Aggregate
Investment Income Defined
 Includes:
 Net Taxable Capital Gains For The Year,
Reduced By Any Net Capital Loss Carry
Overs Deducted
 Interest
 Rents
 Royalties
 Excludes:
 Dividends Deductible In Computing
Taxable Income

Additional Refundable Tax
On Investment Income
(ART)
 Amount Payable Is 6-2/3% Of
Lesser Of:
 The Corporation’s Aggregate
Investment Income
 The Amount, If Any, By Which
The Corporation’s Taxable
Income Exceeds The Amount
Eligible For The Small Business
Deduction

Refundable Part I Tax
The Problem
 Excessive Tax Rates On Flow

Through Of A CCPC’s Investment
Income
 With ART, Taxed At Federal Rate Of Just
Under 36% [(38% - 10%)(104%) + 6-
2/3%].
 Add Provincial Rates Of 11.5% To 17%
 Total Tax Rate Varies Between 47% And

53%
The Problem
$100,000 Of Individual
Investment
Shareholder
Income

The Solution
 When Corporation
Distributes Its After
Tax Income As
Dividends, Part Of
Tax Is Refunded
 Refund Equal To $1
For Each $3 Of
Dividends Paid

Example – Part I Refund
Corporate Income $100,000
Taxes At 46-2/3% 46,667
Balance Before $53,333
Refund
Refund 26,667
Maximum Dividend $ 80,000
$26,667 = [(1/3)($80,000)]

Refundable Part IV Tax
The Problem
$100,000
Investment
Income

Refundable Part IV Tax:
Liability For
 Private Corporations
 Subject Corporations
 A Corporation (Other Than A
Private Corporation) Resident In
Canada And Controlled By, Or
For The Benefit Of, An Individual
Or Related Group
 For The Purposes Of Part IV Tax,
Treated As A Private Corporation

Refundable Part IV Tax
Assessment And Refund
 Assessed At A Rate
Of 33-1/3%
 Refunded At A Rate
Of $1 For Each $3
Of Dividends Paid

Part IV Refundable Tax
Where Applied
 Dividend Is Received From An
Unconnected Company
(Portfolio Dividend)
 Dividend Is Received From A
Connected Company, And
The Company Paying The
Dividend Received A Refund
As The Result Of The
Payment

 Connected Corporations
 Control (> 50%), or
 Greater Than:
 10% Of Voting, And
 10% FMV Of All

 Reduce Part IV With Non-
Capital Losses
 However, Uses A Potential
Permanent Reduction In Taxes
To Reduce Tax Payable That
Would Ultimately Be Refunded

Keeping Score:
Refundable Dividend Tax
On Hand
 Components
 Opening Balance
 Refundable Part I Tax
 Part IV Tax
 Dividend Refund
 Closing Balance

Refundable Portion Of
Part I Tax
 RDTOH Definition Limits To The
Least Of:
 ITA 129(3)(a)(i) – Investment
Income Limit
 ITA 129(3)(a)(ii) – Taxable Income
Limit
 ITA 129(3)(a)(iii) – Tax Payable Limit

ITA 129 (3)(a)(i)
 Determined By Formula A-B,
Where
 A Is 26-2/3% Of Aggregate
Investment Income
 B Is The Amount, If Any, By

Which The Non-Business FTC
Exceeds 9-1/3% Of Foreign
Income

ITA 129(3)(a)(ii)
 26-2/3% Of The Amount, If
Any, By Which Taxable
Income Exceeds The Total
Of:
 Amount Eligible For The Small
Business Deduction
 25/9 Of Non-Business FTC
 3 Times Business FTC

ITA 129(3)(a)(iii)
 Tax Payable Under
Part I Determined
Without Corporate
Surtax

Dividend Refund
 Equal To The Lesser Of:
 Balance In RDTOH Account At
The Year End
 1/3 Of All Dividends Subject

To Tax Paid During The Year

Eligible Dividends
 Any dividend that is
designated as such.
 Qualifies for enhanced 45
percent gross up.
 Receives dividend tax
credit of 11/18 of the gross
up.
 Reduces maximum federal
rate on dividends to about
15 percent.
Tax On Excessive
Election
 For CCPC – A designation that
exceeds General Rate Income Pool
(GRIP).
 For Public Company – A designation
that leaves a positive Low Rate
Income Pool (LRIP).
 Excess taxed at 20 percent.
 If artificial manipulation – Tax at 30
percent on the entire dividend (not
just excess) © 2007, Clarence Byrd Inc. 62
Basic Approach
 CCPCs  Public Companies
 Income eligible for  Most income taxed
SBD at general rates
 Investment income  Assume most
eligible for refund dividends are
 Assume most eligible
dividends are non-  Exceptions in LRIP
eligible
 Exceptions in GRIP

CCPCs and their GRIP
GRIP = C + [(68%)(D – E – F)] + G + H - I
C = GRIP at end of preceding year
D = Taxable Income for the year
E = Amount eligible for SBD for the year
F = Aggregate investment income for the
year
G = Eligible dividends received during the
year
H = Adjustments for amalgamations and
wind ups © 2007, Clarence Byrd Inc. 64
Designation By CCPC
 To the extent of the
GRIP balance:
 Dividends can be
designated as eligible.

Non-CCPCs and their
LRIP
LRIP = (A + B + C + D + F) – (G + H)
A = LRIP at end of preceding year

B = Non-eligible dividends received for the year
C = Additions for corporate reorganizations
D = Adjustment if CCPC in some preceding year
E = Adjustment if credit union in some preceding
year
F = Adjustment if investment company in some
preceding year
G = Non-eligible dividends paid during the year
H = Excess election during year
Non-Eligible Dividends:
Non-CCPC
 Dividend paid when
there is a positive LRIP
balance:
 Should be non-eligible.
 If designated – will be
subject to tax on excess
designation.
