Legislation - ETAProposed change to definition of “basic tax content”:
Dept Finance Transition Rules:http://www.fin.gc.ca/n12/data/12-017_1-eng.asp
“The basic tax content of a person’s property is generally the amount of tax under Part IX of the ETA that the person was required to pay on the property and improvements thereto, after deducting any amounts (other than ITCs) that the person was entitled to recover by rebate, remission or otherwise and after taking into account any depreciation in the value of the property. As of Announcement Date, the BC component of HST would not be included in calculating the basic tax content of real property situated in BC or tangible personal property ordinarily situated in BC.” 20
