Appendix D

Draft Income Tax Regulations and Explanatory Notes

Amendments related to Prescribed Properties and Permanent Establishments

1. (1) The Income Tax Regulations are amended by adding the following after Section 8201:

8202.

(1) For the purposes of the definition "investment business" in subsection 95(1), and of subparagraph 95(2)(l)(iii) and paragraphs 95(2.3)(b) and (2.4)(a), of the Act, a "permanent establishment" of a person or partnership (which person or partnership is referred to in this subsection and subsection (3) as the "person") means

(a) a fixed place of business of the person, including an office, a branch, a mine, an oil well, a farm, a timberland, a factory, a workshop or a warehouse; or

(b) if the person does not have any fixed place of business, the principal place at which the person's business is conducted.

(2) Notwithstanding subsection (1), for the purposes of the definition "investment business" in subsection 95(1), and of subparagraph 95(2)(l)(iii) and paragraphs 95(2.3)(b) and (2.4)(a), of the Act, a "permanent establishment" of a person or partnership (which person or partnership is referred to in this subsection as the "person") has the meaning given to the expression "permanent establishment" in an agreement or a convention for the avoidance of double taxation that the Government of Canada has concluded with a country and that has the force of law in Canada if the person is a resident of that country for the purpose of the agreement or convention.

(3) For the purpose of subsection (1),

(a) if a person carries on business through an employee or agent, established in a particular place, who has general authority to contract for the person or who has a stock of merchandise owned by the person from which the employee or agent regularly fills orders, the person is deemed to have a fixed place of business at that place,

(b) if a person is an insurance corporation, the person is deemed to have a fixed place of business in each country in which the person is registered or licensed to do business,

(c) if a person uses substantial machinery or equipment at a particular place at any time in a taxation year, the person is deemed to have a fixed place of business at that place,

(d) the fact that a person has business dealings through a commission agent, broker or other independent agent or maintains an office solely for the purchase of merchandise at a particular place does not of itself mean that the person has a fixed place of business at that place, and

(e) the fact that a corporation has a subsidiary controlled corporation at a place or a subsidiary controlled corporation engaged in trade or business at a place does not of itself mean that the corporation is operating a fixed place of business at that place.

(2) Subsection (1) applies to the 1999 and subsequent taxation years. However, if the taxpayer has made a valid election under subsection 133(68) of the Legislative Proposals and Draft Regulations relating to Income Tax released on ANNOUNCEMENT DATE, subsection (1) applies to the 1994 and subsequent taxation years.
