Description
This course explores the concept of Associated Corporations, as legislated in section 256 of the Income Tax Act (“ITA”). Knowing and understanding the income tax implications of whether corporations are associated with each other is an important aspect of correctly computing corporate taxes payable, determining tax strategies and different structuring alternatives; such issues commonly arise when dealing with groups of corporations in practice. This course covers the fundamental “basic” rules of association, as well as various common “special” rules.
