Ideas in this flowchart
- CRA’s treatment of the intercompany and U.S. loans under section 17(1)
- Canco wholly owns the Barbados subsidiary Barbco.
- Barbco has a non-interest-bearing Loan 1 owing to Canco.
- Barbco also earns interest on term deposits.
- Barbco holds Loan 2 owing by the arm’s length U.S. borrower USco.
- Loan 2 has the same principal amount as Loan 1 and has been outstanding for more than one year.
- The interest rate on Loan 2 is less than a reasonable rate under section 17(1.1)(c).
- CRA’s assumption is that Loan 2 was made and kept outstanding because Canco made Loan 1 to Barbco.
- Section 17(1) would impute interest on a Deemed Loan equal in amount to Loan 2.
- Interest would also be imputed on Loan 1.
