Income tax 2004 TCC 437

Barrette v. The Queen

On the facts the court found Diese's principal purpose was speculative resale of real estate (an adventure in the nature of trade/active business) rather than a specified investment business deriving income from property; the Minister failed to discharge the burden to prove the principal purpose was earning income from property, therefore the appellants' losses qualify as business investment losses and assessments are to be reconsidered accordingly.

  • Specified investment business
  • Small business corporation
  • Business investment loss
  • Active business vs specified investment business
  • Burden of proof
