THD Inc. v. The Queen

The court held that s.182 of the ETA applied to the damage payment from McKesson — the payment was made as a consequence of a contract modification and was otherwise than as consideration for supply, therefore McKesson was deemed to have paid and the appellant to have collected the tax, which the appellant was required to remit; separately, the appellant lacked the prescribed valid supplier registration numbers on the Service Stakkers invoices at the time the ITCs were claimed, so the ITCs were properly disallowed under s.169(4)(a) and the Regulations; the reassessments and associated penalti…

ONEnergy Inc. v. The Queen

The litigation costs were not incurred in the course of a commercial activity under s.141.1(3)(a) because the requisite connection to the Spectrum sale was absent; a mere 'but for' relationship (sale produced funds that were later misappropriated) is insufficient—the connection must relate to entering into, implementation of or enforcement of the commercial activity (or to activities integral to winding up the business), which was not the case here where the business had been terminated and the suit sought recovery of monies taken from the corporation after the sale.

  • Input tax credit
  • Commercial activity
  • Subparagraph 141.1(3)(a)
  • Litigation costs
  • Winding up vs wind down

Tax (gst) 2015 TCC 225

Great-West Life Assurance Company v. The Queen

The Court found the substance of Emergis's supply was the payment of drug benefits to plan members (captured by s.123(1)(f.1)) but concluded the group of services were administrative services in relation to payment and thus are "prescribed services" under regulation 4(2)(b); Emergis was not a person at risk under reg 4(3), so paragraph (t) excludes the supply from the definition of "financial service" and the appellant's rebate claim failed.

  • Definition of financial service
  • Prescribed services under regulation 4(2)
  • Compound supply characterization
  • Rebate under s.261 eta
  • Administrative services versus financial services

Tax (gst) 2013 TCC 26

Ferraro-Passarelli v. The Queen

The municipal appraiser's valuation of the property at $269,500 on April 21, 2005 was accepted as the best objective evidence, establishing the half interest value of $134,750; the appellant failed to prove she provided consideration or an antecedent contractual debt entitling her to subrogation under Art.1656; the timing and circumstances (after a third-party notice) reinforced that s.325 applied; accordingly the assessment under s.325 ETA was upheld and the appeal dismissed.

  • S.325 excise tax act (non-arm's length transfers)
  • Valuation of transfer (fair market value)
  • Subrogation (art.1656 civil code of quebec)
