(2) Subsection 88(3) of the Act is replaced by the following:

Distributions of property of a foreign affiliate

(3) If, at any time, a taxpayer resident in Canada receives a property from a foreign affiliate of the taxpayer (the property received and the foreign affiliate from which the property was received being referred to in this subsection as the "distributed property" and the "disposing foreign affiliate", respectively), on a dissolution and a liquidation of the disposing foreign affiliate, on a redemption of shares of the capital stock of the disposing foreign affiliate, as a payment of a dividend by the disposing foreign affiliate, or as a distribution of property by the disposing foreign affiliate,

(a) where the distributed property was, immediately before that time, a share of the capital stock of another foreign affiliate of the taxpayer and an excluded property of the disposing foreign affiliate, the distributed property

(i) is deemed to have been disposed of, at that time, by the disposing foreign affiliate to the taxpayer for proceeds of disposition that are equal to

(A) unless a valid election is made under clause (B), the adjusted cost base to the disposing foreign affiliate of the distributed property, immediately before that time, and

(B) the amount that the taxpayer elects in the prescribed manner and in the prescribed time in respect of the distributed property, which amount may not be less than the adjusted cost base to the disposing foreign affiliate of the distributed property immediately before that time and may not exceed the fair market value, at that time, of the distributed property, and

(ii) is deemed to have been acquired, at that time, by the taxpayer at a cost equal to the amount, determined under subparagraph (i), to be the disposing foreign affiliate's proceeds of disposition of the distributed property;

(b) where the distributed property is property to which paragraph (a) does not apply, the distributed property is deemed

(i) to have been disposed of, at that time, by the disposing foreign affiliate to the taxpayer for proceeds of disposition that are equal to the fair market value, at that time, of the distributed property, and

(ii) to have been acquired, at that time, by the taxpayer at a cost equal to the amount, determined under subparagraph (i), to be the disposing foreign affiliate's proceeds of disposition of the distributed property;

(c) where the taxpayer disposed of shares of the capital stock of the disposing foreign affiliate on the dissolution and liquidation of the disposing foreign affiliate or on the redemption, acquisition or cancellation of shares of the disposing foreign affiliate, as the case may be, the taxpayer's proceeds of disposition of the shares are deemed to be the amount determined by the formula

A - B

where

A is the total of all amounts each of which is the cost to the taxpayer of a distributed property received by the taxpayer as consideration for the disposition of the shares, and

B is the total of all amounts each of which is the amount of a debt owing by the disposing foreign affiliate, or of an obligation of the disposing foreign affiliate to pay an amount, (other than a dividend payable to the taxpayer or to persons with whom the taxpayer does not deal at arm's length) that was assumed or cancelled by the taxpayer because of the dissolution and liquidation or because of the redemption, acquisition or cancellation;

(d) where the taxpayer received distributed property as a dividend or a distribution of property, the amount of the dividend paid by the disposing foreign affiliate or the amount of the distribution of property made by the disposing foreign affiliate to the taxpayer, as case may be, is deemed to be the amount determined by the formula

D - E

where

D is the total of all amounts each of which is the cost to the taxpayer of a distributed property received by the taxpayer from the disposing foreign affiliate as the payment of a dividend or as the distribution of property, as the case may be, and

E is the total of all amounts each of which is the amount of a debt owing by the disposing foreign affiliate or of an obligation of the disposing foreign affiliate to pay an amount (other than a dividend payable to the taxpayer or to persons with whom the taxpayer does not deal at arm's length) that was assumed or cancelled by the taxpayer because of the payment of the dividend or because of the distribution;

(e) the amount of a distribution of property made, at that time, by the disposing foreign affiliate to the taxpayer, is to be deducted in computing the taxpayer's adjusted cost base of a particular share of the capital stock of disposing foreign affiliate held by the taxpayer, at that time, to the extent that it is reasonable to consider the distribution to be a payment made by the disposing foreign affiliate to the taxpayer as

(i) a return of an amount that was received by the disposing foreign affiliate as consideration for the issuance of the particular share, or

(ii) a return of an amount of contributed surplus that was received by the disposing foreign affiliate before that time, as a contribution of capital to the disposing foreign affiliate by the shareholder that held the particular share at the time of the contribution; and

(f) the amount of a distribution of property made, at that time, by the disposing foreign affiliate to the taxpayer is to be included in computing the taxpayer's income as income from property that is the shares of the capital stock of the disposing foreign affiliate held at that time by the taxpayer, to the extent that it is not deducted, under paragraph (e), in computing the adjusted cost base of a particular share of the capital stock of the disposing foreign affiliate held by the taxpayer.

(3) Subsection (1) applies to amalgamations that occur, and to windings-up that begin, after ANNOUNCEMENT DATE and if the taxpayer so elects in writing and files the election with the Minister of National Revenue on or before the taxpayer's filing-due date for the taxpayer's taxation year that includes the day on which this Act is assented to, that subsection applies in respect of the taxpayer to all amalgamations that occur, and to all windings-up that begin, after December 20, 2002 and, notwithstanding subsections 152(4) to (5) of the Act, any assessment of the taxpayer's tax, interest and penalties payable under the Act for any taxation year that begins on or before ANNOUNCEMENT DATE shall be made that is necessary to take the election into account.
