DRAFT
International Fiscal Association 1995 Conference
QUESTION 10
Investment Business Definition
How does Revenue Canada intend to review the business operations of foreign affiliates for the purposes of this definition in determining whether more than one separate business exists.
Department's Position
Whether the carrying on of two or more simultaneous business operations by a foreign affiliate is the same business or represents two separate businesses is dependent upon the degree of interconnection, interlacing or interdependence and the extent of the unity embracing the business operations. In order to make such assessment it is necessary to obtain all of the facts surrounding the particular situation. Interpretation Bulletin IT-206R sets out certain general guidelines which are used by Revenue Canada in making this determination.
