Where a corporation donates ecologically sensitive lands so as to be eligible for the s. 110.1(1)(d) deduction, what amount will be added to its capital dividend account? CRA responded (TaxInterpretations translation):
[S]ubparagraph 38(a.2)(i) provides that the taxable capital gain resulting from the disposition of such property to a qualified donee described in subsection 149.1(1) (other than a private foundation) is equal to zero. Consequently, by virtue of the definition of capital dividend account provided in subsection 89(1), the capital gain resulting from such a disposition would be included by virtue of clause (a)(i)(A) of the definition as there would be no amount of taxable capital gain as described by clause (a)(i)(B) taking subparagraph 38(a.2)(i) into account. Accordingly, the full amount of the capital gain resulting from the disposition would be included in the capital dividend account of the corporation.
