For Instructors Using Previous Editions For those instructors who have used the previous 2011/12 edition of Canadian Tax Principles, we have described below the reorganization of the Chapter 8 topics for the 2012/13 edition. The main objective was to organize the Chapter 8 topics so that they increased in difficulty as students moved through the chapter. Two topics have been moved to Chapter 9. We felt that non-arm’s length transfers of property and deemed dispositions at death were a better fit with existing Chapter 9 topics such as income attribution. Economic Background - No change in position in Chapter 8. General Rules - No change in position in Chapter 8. Detailed Application Of The Rules - No change in position in Chapter 8. Non-Arm’s Length Transfers Of Property - Moved to CHAPTER 9 beginning Paragraph 9-145. • Inadequate Considerations - ITA 69 • Inter Vivos Transfers To A Spouse - ITA 73(1) And 73(1.01) • Non-Arm’s Length Transfers Of Depreciable Assets - ITA 13(7)(e) • Inter Vivos Farm Or Fishing Property To A Child - ITA 73(3) And 73(4) Deferral Provisions On Replacement Property - Moved to end of Chapter 8 beginning Paragraph 8-136. • Voluntary And Involuntary Dispositions • Timing Considerations • Application Of ITA 44(1) To Capital Gains • Application Of ITA 13(4) To Recapture Of CCA • Combined Application Of ITA 13(4) And 44(1) Deferral Provisions On Small Business Investments - Moved back in Chapter 8 beginning Paragraph 8-133. Deemed Dispositions Except On Death - Moved forward in Chapter 8 beginning Paragraph 8-109. • Change In Use • Departures From Canada Death Of A Taxpayer (Deemed Dispositions) - Moved to CHAPTER 9 beginning Paragraph 9-145. Provisions For Special Assets - Moved forward in Chapter 8 beginning Paragraph 8-70. • Principal Residence • Personal Use Property • Listed Personal Property • Gains And Losses On Foreign Currency • Options
