- E
- is
(i) in the case of a taxation year that includes February 28, 2000 or October 17, 2000, the amount determined by the formula
2 × (F + G)/H
where
- F
- is the amount deemed by subsection 14(1.1) to be a taxable capital gain of the taxpayer for the taxation year,

Marginal note:Deduction not permitted
(7) Notwithstanding subsections (2) to (2.3), no amount may be deducted under this section in computing an individual’s taxable income for a taxation year in respect of a capital gain of the individual for the taxation year if the capital gain is from a disposition of property which disposition is part of a series of transactions or events

Marginal note:Deduction not permitted
(8) Notwithstanding subsections (2) to (2.3), where an individual has a capital gain for a taxation year from the disposition of a property and it can reasonably be concluded, having regard to all the circumstances, that a significant part of the capital gain is attributable to the fact that dividends were not paid on a share (other than a prescribed share) or that dividends paid on such a share in the taxation year or in any preceding taxation year were less than 90% of the average annual rate of return on that share for that year, no amount in respect of that capital gain shall be deducted under this section in computing the individual’s taxable income for the year.
Marginal note:Average annual rate of return

(a) there was no delay or postponement of the payment of dividends and no failure to pay dividends in respect of the share;
(b) there was no variation from year to year in the amount of dividends payable in respect of the share (other than where the amount of dividends payable is expressed as an invariant percentage of or by reference to an invariant difference between the dividend expressed as a rate of interest and a generally quoted market interest rate); and
(c) the proceeds to be received by the investor on the disposition of the share are the same amount the corporation received as consideration on the issue of the share.
Marginal note:Where deduction not permitted
(11) Where it is reasonable to consider that one of the main reasons for an individual acquiring, holding or having an interest in a partnership or trust (other than an interest in a personal trust) or a share of an investment corporation, mortgage investment corporation or mutual fund corporation, or for the existence of any terms, conditions, rights or other attributes of the interest or share, is to enable the individual to receive or have allocated to the individual a percentage of any capital gain or taxable capital gain of the partnership, trust or corporation that is larger than the individual’s percentage of the income of the partnership, trust or corporation, as the case may be, notwithstanding any other provision of this Act,
(a) no amount may be deducted under this section by the individual in respect of any such gain allocated or distributed to the individual after November 21, 1985; and

(a) the amount, if any, by which the eligible taxable capital gains (within the meaning assigned by subsection 108(1)) of the trust for that year exceeds the amount, if any, by which
(i) the total of all amounts each of which is the amount, if any, determined under paragraph (b) or (d) of the definition cumulative gains limit in subsection 110.6(1) in respect of the taxpayer’s spouse or common-law partner at the end of the taxation year in which the spouse or common-law partner died
exceeds
(ii) the amount if any, determined under paragraph (a) of the definition cumulative gains limit in subsection 110.6(1) in respect of the taxpayer’s spouse or common-law partner at the end of the taxation year in which the spouse or common-law partner died,
(b) the amount, if any, that would be determined in respect of the trust for that year under paragraph 3(b) in respect of capital gains and capital losses if the only properties referred to in that paragraph were qualified farm properties disposed of by it after 1984, qualified small business corporation shares disposed of by it after June 17, 1987 and qualified fishing properties disposed of by it on or after May 2, 2006, and
(c) the amount, if any, by which the amount determined by the formula in paragraph (2)(a) in respect of the taxpayer’s spouse or common-law partner for the taxation year in which that spouse or common-law partner died exceeds the amount deducted under this section for that taxation year by that spouse or common-law partner.

(i) its application to all of the properties in respect of which elections were made under that subsection by the elector or a spouse or common-law partner of the elector and to all the businesses in respect of which elections were made under that subsection by the elector
(A) would result in an increase in the amount deductible under subsection 110.6(3) in computing the taxable income of the elector or a spouse or common-law partner of the elector, and
(B) in respect of each of the 1994 and 1995 taxation years,

(b) where the elector is a personal trust, its application to all of the properties in respect of which an election was made under that subsection by the elector would result in
(i) an increase in the amount deemed by subsection 104(21.2) to be a taxable capital gain of an individual (other than a trust) who was a beneficiary under the trust at the end of February 22, 1994 and resident in Canada at any time in the individual’s taxation year in which the trust’s taxation year that includes that day ends, or
