Qualifying Subsidiary

Administrative Policy

12 February 2018 interpretation 167422R

qualifying subsidiary definition can be applied iteratively

In a wholly-owned group, there are two stacks of four corporations beneath a common Holdco. CRA concluded that the “qualifying subsidiary” definition could be applied iteratively, so that the two bottom (Canadian) corporations will be able to elect with each other under s. 156 as being closely related to each other and members of a qualifying group under s. 156(1).
