ABIL Interpretation

1. As the sole shareholder of the business, is a dissolution of my CCPC be treated as share disposed at Arm's-length

 

S4-F8-C1. Article 1.12, 

"For a loss described in ¶1.11 to qualify as a business investment loss, the disposition must be:

  • to an arm's-length person; or
  • deemed to have occurred under subsection 50(1)."

2. Could ABIL be deducted with an optional amount? For example, I had other source of income of $70,000 in 2019 and ABIL of $100,000. Could I choose to deduct $50,000 in 2019 and carry forward the other $50,000?

 

Thanks!

1. Subsection 50(1)(b) should negate the requirement for arms length.  It only requires that shares be owned in an insolvent corporation.  2.  I don't see why not, but the amount not claimed would be carried forward as a non-capital loss.  To me, a more interesting question is the valuation used to determine the ABIL in the first place.
