Tax law 2017 FCA 239

Chiasson v. Canada

The Tax Court judge's factual finding that the investment occurred on January 4, 2002 was supported by contemporaneous documents; Landmark Canada's main business was holding shares of the Barbados company which did not carry on active business in Canada, so Landmark Canada was not an eligible or small business corporation and the investment was not a qualified investment under s.146(1); absent a palpable and overriding error this Court will not interfere, therefore the appeal is dismissed.

  • Rrsp
  • Qualified investment (s.146(1))
  • Small business corporation (s.248(1))
  • Eligible corporation (reg. 5100(1))
