About this statute

This Act sets out who must pay income tax and how taxable income is computed, including special rules for residents, non-residents, and employment income. The provision deems certain employee stock option benefits to be received as employment income and limits deductions from employment income except where specifically allowed. This provision limits or denies several tax deductions unless specific conditions are met, including an employer certificate, home work-space rules, and temporary relocation requirements. This provision requires taxpayers and certain entities to include specified interest, deemed amounts, and insurance-related amounts in income, and it also defines several terms and exceptions. This provision sets several tax deeming rules for depreciable property, including capital cost adjustments, elections, assistance repayments, and a cap on passenger vehicle capital cost.
