EFILE Information (Jump Code: EFILE INFO)

In the NetFile Québec or Clic Revenu section, a history table has been added to review information on the electronic transmissions of the original or amended Corporation Income Tax Return (Jump Code: QJ).

Schedule 3 – Dividends Received, Taxable Dividends Paid, and Part IV Tax Calculation (Jump Code: 3)

In Part 1, the line used to enter deductible dividends under paragaph 113(1)c has been split into two to make the difference between dividends received from a foreign affiliate considered a connected corporation and those of a foreign affiliate not considered a connected corporation. Therefore, the custom line Dividends deductible from taxable income under paragraph 113(1)(c) ITA (this amount is included on line 320 of the T2 return) has been renamed Other dividends deductible from taxable income under paragraph 113(1)(c) ITA which are not included on the above line and the line Dividends deductible from taxable income under paragraph 113(1)(c) ITA received from a foreign affiliate which is considered a connected corporation under subsection 186(4) ITA has been added under column 275 in Part 1.

This makes it possible to include the dividend received from a foreign affiliated corporation on line 730, in Part 2 of Schedule 7 (Jump Code: 7) when this corporation would be a connected corporation under subsection 186(4) ITA, if this subsection applied. The amount shown on this new line will also be included on line 320 of Schedule 200 (Jump Code: J), on the line Taxable dividends deductible under sections 112 and 113 in Part 6 of Schedule 21 (Jump Code: 21), on the line Taxable dividends deducted per Schedule 3 in the Foreign column of the Net taxable dividends section of Schedule 7, on the line Dividends deductible from taxable income under subsection 746(c) TA (this amount is included on line 256 of the CO-17 return) in Part 1 of Form CO-17S.3 (Jump Code: Q3) and on custom line Dividends deductible from taxable income under paragraph 113(1)(c) ITA in Part 2 of Schedule 510 (Jump Code: 510).

Note that the amounts entered on those two custom lines do not have to be reported to the CRA, because paragraph 113(1) (c) ITA does not apply to Schedule 3. However, they allow the program to correctly perform the calculation of certain items relating to the return. In addition, completing these lines does not make Schedule 3 applicable.

Verify if all or part of the amount on line Other dividends deductible from taxable income under paragraph 113(1)(c) ITA which are not included on the above line comes from a foreign affiliated corporation that would be a corporation connected under subsection 186(4) ITA, if this subsection applied. If this is the case, enter this amount on the new custom line Dividends deductible from taxable income under paragraph 113(1)(c) ITA received from a foreign affiliate which is considered a connected corporation under subsection 186(4) ITA and adjust the amount on the line Other dividends deductible from taxable income under paragraph 113(1)(c) ITA which are not included on the above line accordingly.

Tax Scenarios Worksheet (Jump Code: SCENARIOS)

To enhance the monitoring of the scenarios you create for your clients, two lines were added in the “Federal information (T2)” section, i.e. the lines Dividends paid – Regular and Dividends paid – Eligible.

Transmission of amended CO-17 returns

The amended tax return can now be transmitted electronically. The program will transmit a complete amended CO-17 return with the desired changes, and not Form CO-17.R (Jump Code: QJR).

The process to prepare an amended CO-17 return is similar to the process already in place for the automatic preparation of an adjustment request. We recommend that you use a copy of the original tax return when you prepare an amended tax return. Answer Yes to the question Is this an amended Québec tax return? in Form Identification (Jump Code : ID) and make the amendments in the Québec return.

When you answer Yes to the question Is this an amended Québec tax return? in Form Identification, a copy of Form CO-17.R will be created and the EFILE CO-17 status will no longer be Accepted, so that you will then be able to amend the return to make the desired changes.

Once the transmission is accepted by Revenu Québec, the confirmation number and the date the transmission is accepted will be saved in Forms CO-17.R and EFILE INFO (Jump Code: EFILE INFO).

At the top of the CO-17.R form, the custom question Do you want to electronically retransmit the amended CO-17 return instead of mailing a CO-17.R form? has been added. The answer to this question will be Yes when you answer Yes to both questions Is this an amended Québec tax return? in Form Identification and Do you want to electronically file this tax return with Revenu Québec? in Form RSI-EFILE-Bar codes (Jump Code: RSI-EFILE-BAR CODES) in the Québec (Internet Filing) section.

Note that a CO-17.SP return (Jump Code: QJSP) cannot be transmitted electronically and EFILE exclusions that apply to the transmission of original CO-17 returns also apply to the transmission of amended returns.

If you would still like the amendments made to the return to display in Form CO-17.R.

If you want to prepare a summary of amendments made in the return, select the check box Select this check box to prepare an automatic CO-17.R form in Form CO-17.R before amending the return. The lines on which data was modified since this box was selected will then display in Form CO-17.R, as well as the expected change to the balance due or refund. You can print Form CO-17.R for reference purposes or to provide it to the client. However, the authorized representative is not required to sign the form.

For more information, consult the Question used to specify whether it consists of an adjustment request concerning a Québec tax return section of the Corporate Identification and Other Information topic.

Filing of a copy of Schedule 200 and Schedule 7 with the Québec return

As per Revenu Québec requirements, a copy of Schedule 200 (Jump Code: J) must be filed with the Québec return when a corporation assigns a portion of the business limit to another CCPC under subsection 125(3.2) ITA. Previously, diagnostic F106 was prompting you to file a copy of Schedule 200 in this situation. Now, when the corporation has a permanent establishment in Québec and an amount is indicated on line K in the “Small business deduction” section of Schedule 200:

  • A copy of this schedule is automatically attached to the Québec return when this return is electronically filed;
  • A copy of this schedule is printed for the Québec return with the “Client,” “GOVT RSI, Bar Codes,” and “Office” print formats.

In addition, a copy of Schedule 7 (Jump Code: 7) must be filed with the Québec return in the following situations:

  • Another CCPC assigns a portion of the business limit to the corporation under subsection 125(3.2) ITA;
  • The corporation assigns a portion of the specified partnership business limit to a designated member of a partnership under subsection 125(8) ITA;
  • A member of a partnership assigns a portion of the specified partnership business limit to the corporation under subsection 125(8) ITA.

Before, diagnostics F127, F128 and F129 were prompting you to file a copy of Schedule 7 in each of these situations. Now, when the corporation has a permanent establishment in Québec and an amount is indicated on line 335, 336 or CC of Schedule 7:

  • A copy of this schedule is automatically attached to the Québec return when this return is electronically filed;
  • A copy of this schedule is printed for the Québec return with the “Client,” “GOVT RSI, Bar Codes,” and “Office” print formats.

Note: The jump codes used for the print templates are T2 (QC) and 7 (QC).

New Forms

Québec 

CO-400 – Deduction Related to Resources (Jump Code: Q12)

This Québec government form replaces the custom Form Resources, Amount Respecting Resources for Québec (Jump Code: Q12) and is used to calculate the deduction for resources to determine the net income for income tax purposes in Québec. The different parts used to calculate the available deductions have been reordered and do not follow the numbering of the corresponding parts in Schedule 12 (Jump Code: 12) anymore. The custom questions Is the corporation a development corporation carrying on an oil business? and Is the corporation a development corporation carrying on a mining business? in Part 4 are used to determine which one of the three columns in part 4.1 and which basic rate of the deduction on line 127 are applicable to the situation of the corporation.

CO-771.1.3.AJ – Adjusted Business Limit (Jump Code: 77113AJ)

Multiple copies can be created for Part 2, which is used to calculate the adjusted aggregate investment income (AAII) of the filing corporation and its associated corporation for taxation years ended in the previous calendar year. For the filing corporation, the first copy of Section 2.2 is automatically completed with the amounts entered in the Québec CO-771.1.3.AJ – Adjusted business limit section in Schedule 9 WORKCHART (Jump Code: 9 WORKCHART) of the filing corporation. For associated corporations, a copy of Part 2 is automatically created and data on lines 06 to 09 in Section 2.1, as well as amounts on lines 11, 12, 14 to 18, 21 and 23 in Section 2.2 are calculated from the relevant data entered in the Québec CO-17 – Corporation income tax return and Québec CO-771.1.3.AJ – Adjusted business limit sections of Schedule 9 WORKCHART.

Automatically created copies relate only to the last taxation year ending in the previous calendar year of the corporation. When a corporation (filing or associated) has more than one taxation year ending in the previous calendar year, a copy must be manually created using the Add button, selecting the name of the corporation from the drop-down menu on line 08 and completing the relevant lines manually. For more information, consult the note relating to Schedule 9 WORKCHART.

Parts 3 and 4 are used to calculate the business limit reduction for taxation years starting after 2018. When an amount is calculated on line 28 and the amount of paid-up capital on line 56 of Form CO-771 (Jump Code: 771) is less than $15 million, the amount on line 38 is updated to line 94a of Form CO-771.

CO-1029.8.33.TE – Tax Credit to Foster the Retention of Experienced Workers – SMB (Jump Code: 1029833TE)

This multiple copy form is for any corporation that has an establishment in Québec where it carries on a business, has a specified paid-up capital for the previous taxation year, including that of the members of an associated group, of less than $15 million and whose number of remunerated hours of its employees, calculated for the taxation year, is greater than 5,000 (provided it is not a corporation in the primary or manufacturing sector).

The refundable tax credit is calculated on the employer’s contributions paid by the corporation with respect to an employee. The rate of the refundable tax credit will vary based, firstly, on the individual's age and, secondly, the corporation's total payroll. Thus, in respect of an employee aged at least 60 but no older than 64, the tax credit that can be claimed by a qualified corporation with a total payroll of $1 million or less, on the employer contributions paid in respect of such an employee, will be calculated at a rate of 50% and can total as much as $1,250 annually. In respect of an employee aged at least 65, the tax credit such a corporation can claim on employer contributions paid in respect of such an employee will be calculated at a rate of 75% and can total as much as $1,875 annually.

If the corporation claims the tax credit as both a qualified corporation and a qualified member of a partnership, complete a copy of the form for each of these claims.

The “Identification” custom part has been added on screen only. The answers to the questions Is the paid-up capital determined for the preceding taxation year, including that of members of an associated group, less than $15 million? and Does the number of remunerated hours of its employees, calculated for the taxation year, exceed 5,000 or is the corporation in the primary or manufacturing sector? will be defined when the qualified or specified expenditure is incurred by the corporation.

The answer to the question Is the paid-up capital determined for the preceding taxation year, including that of members of an associated group, less than $15 million? will be “Yes” when the amount on the line Paid-up capital of the previous taxation year used for the calculations of Form CO-1029.8.33.TE of the filing corporation plus the total of the amounts on the lines Paid-up capital of the previous taxation year (adjusted) of the associated corporations entered in Schedule 9 WORKCHART (Jump Code: 9 WORKCHART) is less than $15 million.

The answer to the question Does the number of remunerated hours of its employees, calculated for the taxation year, exceed 5,000 or is the corporation in the primary or manufacturing sector? will be “Yes” when the number of hours on line 07a or 07b of Form CO-771 (Jump Code: 771) is greater than 5,000 or if the proportion of activities in the primary sector or the manufacturing sector indicated on line 187c of Form CO-771 is greater than 25%.

For each eligible employee, complete Part 4 on a separate copy. Custom check box Select this box if you want to roll forward information about the employee has been added above Section 4.1 of the form, on screen only, to allow you to roll forward or not data in Part 4. This box is selected by default. When rolling forward a client file, if this box is selected, the data entered in fields 30 to 32 in the subsection concerning the employee as well as the answer to the question Is the qualified corporation or qualified partnership associated with at least one other qualified corporation in the calendar year in question and have they paid salary and wages or other remuneration to this employee? will be retained.

The table in Part 5 will be completed from the information entered in Part 4.

When opening a client file prepared with a prior version of Corporate Taxprep, if an amount was entered on line 107 of Form QC L440P-Y (Jump Code: L440P), it will be retained as an overridden amount. Complete the sections of Form CO-1029.8.33.TE relating to this credit and cancel the override on line 107 of Form QC L440P-Y for the credit calculated in Form CO-1029.8.33.TE to be updated in Form QC L440P-Y.

CO-1029.8.33.TF – Agreement Respecting the Tax Credit to Foster the Retention of Experienced Workers – SMB (Jump Code: 1029833TF)

This multiple copy form allows you to allocate the qualified or specified expenditure when the corporation is associated with at least one other qualified corporation and they paid salary and wages or other remuneration to an employee. The “Identification” custom part has been added at the top of the form to identify which type of entity incurred qualified or specified expenditures. To complete Part 3, you must have answered “Yes” to custom question Is the qualified corporation or qualified partnership associated with at least one other qualified corporation in the calendar year in question and have they paid salary and wages or other remuneration to this employee? in Part 4 of Form CO-1029.8.33.TE (Jump Code: 1029833TE). A copy of Form CO-1029.8.33.TF PART 3 is then automatically created under the entity that incurred the expenditure. If you want to delete a copy, access Form CO-1029.8.33.TE and answer “No” to the question.

Column A in Part 4 is completed based on the identification numbers or the names entered in the Part 4 completed for all employees.

Schedule 8 WORKCHART – Capital Cost Allowance (CCA) Workchart (Jump Code: 8 WORKCHART)

As a result of the tabling of Bill 42, on November 7, 2019, by the Government of Québec, the following modifications have been made to the calculation of the amount on line E in subsection Qualified property that was acquired after November 20, 2018, and before December 4, 2018 of Section Additional capital cost allowance (CCA) for Québec to be compliant with section 156.7.5 TA, as proposed in section 37 of Bill 42:

  • the following four lines have been removed:
  • Capital cost of qualified property that became available for use in the current taxation year before December 4, 2018 that is not accelerated investment incentive property;
  • Capital cost of qualified property that became available for use in the current taxation year before December 4, 2018 that is accelerated investment incentive property;
  • Capital cost of qualified property acquired after December 3, 2018 but before July 1, 2019 that became available for use in the current taxation year and that is not accelerated investment incentive property; and

  • the line Capital cost of qualified property that became available for use in the current taxation year before July 1, 2019 has been added to replace the removed lines;
  • the field Amount added to UCC attributable to all qualified properties in the class has been renamed Half of the capital cost of qualified property that became available for use in the current taxation year and is equal to half of the amount entered on the new line Capital cost of qualified property that became available for use in the current taxation year before July 1, 2019.

When opening a client file prepared with a prior version of Corporate Taxprep, the total of the amounts entered on the four removed lines will be entered on the line Capital cost of qualified property that became available for use in the current taxation year before July 1, 2019.

When rolling forward a client file saved in a prior version of Corporate Taxprep, the amount rolled forward to the two lines Amount of line E from the first year will take into account the adjustments made to the calculation performed on line E.

EFILING the return of a corporation that acquired classes 43.1 and 43.2 property in the taxation year

As a result of a CRA request, corporation income tax returns (T2) can no longer be EFILED when one of diagnostics R0080200 or R0080300 concerning missing information relating to classes 43.1 and 43.2 displays in the RSI-Bar codes tab of the diagnostics pane.

Schedule 8 WORKCHART ADD – Additions and Dispositions Workchart (Jump Code: 8 WORKCHART ADD)

Changes have been made to the “Information relating to zero-emission vehicles” section, which displays for a CCA class 54 property. The calculation of the cost and the calculation of the capital cost of a zero-emission passenger vehicle have been modified to ensure conformity with subparagraph 13(7)(i)(i) and subsection 13(7.1) ITA. Any government assistance is now deducted in the calculation of the field “Original capital cost” after the application of the $55,000 capital cost limit, while the amount in the field “Eligible cost of addition” only consists of the purchase cost and the applicable sales tax. To reflect these changes, the layout of the fields in this section has been modified and the field “Deemed capital cost under subparagraph 13(7)(i)(i) (the lesser of the cost of addition and the capital cost limit)” has been added to the “Addition of a zero-emission passenger vehicle” subsection.

In addition, the fields “Cost of the vehicle” and “Government assistance received or repaid” have been added to the “Disposition of a zero-emission passenger vehicle” subsection. These fields are used to calculate the amount in the field “Proceeds of disposition” of the “Disposition” section for a zero-emission passenger vehicle when the corporation deals at arm’s-length with the purchaser. The field “Government assistance received or repaid” is used to enter any government assistance received or repaid regarding the vehicle, according to the changes announced in section 52 of the Legislative Proposals Relating to Income Tax and Other Legislation published on July 30, 2019.

When opening a client file prepared with a prior version of Corporate Taxprep and when rolling forward a client file, the amounts that will be indicated in the “Information relating to zero-emission vehicles,” “Addition” and “Disposition” sections will take into account all the modifications to the calculations described above.

Schedule 9 WORKCHART – Related and Associated Corporations Workchart (Jump Code: 9 WORKCHART)

Part Québec CO-771.1.3.AJ – Adjusted business limit has been added to record data from the last taxation year ending in the previous calendar year. This data is used to calculate the adjusted aggregate investment income to compute the Québec income tax. When an amount is entered on at least one of the lines under the title Data related to the last taxation year that ended in the preceding calendar year and the resulting amount of adjusted aggregate investment income (AAII) is greater than “0,” a copy of Part 2 in Form CO-771.1.3.AJ (Jump Code: 77113AJ) is automatically created and the amounts are updated to the corresponding lines for the filing corporation and its associated corporations (other than corporations for which association code “5” is selected). For more information, consult the note relating to Form CO-771.1.3.AJ.

In a taxation year beginning in 2019, these lines will be calculated from amounts 2A to 2L and line 741 in Part 2 of Schedule 7 (Jump Code: 7), when line 744 has a positive amount.

Otherwise, when rolling forward a client file with a taxation year starting in the previous calendar year, the amounts on lines 705 to 741 in Part 2 of Schedule 7, will be updated to the corresponding lines in this section of the filing corporation’s copy.

The line Total adjusted aggregate investment income for prior taxation years that endedin the preceding calendar year has been moved from Part “Québec CO-771.1.3 - Associated corporation’s agreement respecting the allocation of the business limit” to Part “Québec CO-771.1.3.AJ – Adjusted business limit.” The amount on this line represents the total of the amounts on line 24 in the copies of Part 2 of Form CO-771.1.3.AJ in which the name of the corporation corresponds to the name of the corporation entered at the top of Schedule 9 WORKCHART.

As a result of the removal of Form CO-1029.8.36.HF (Jump Code: 1029836HF), the “Québec CO-1029.8.36.HF – Agreement respecting the annual tax credit limit for the modernization of a tourist accommodation establishment” section has been removed because this credit can only be claimed for a taxation year that ended before 2017.

The Section “Québec CO-1029.8.33.TE - Tax credit to foster the retention of experienced workers – SMB” has been added to calculate the paid-up capital of the previous taxation year of the filing corporation and enter the paid-up capital used to determine the applicability of Form CO-1029.8.33.TE (Jump Code: 1029833TE).

Schedule 12 – Resource-Related Deductions (Jump Code: 12)*

New custom lines have been added to Parts 5 and 6 in order to calculate, respectively, the accelerated Canadian development expenses and the accelerated Canadian oil and gas property expenses that are eligible for the additional deduction. These lines replace custom lines Accelerated Canadian development expense, less reductions to this expense in Part 5 and Accelerated Canadian oil and gas property expense, less reductions to this expense in Part 6 that were used to calculate this deduction.

When opening a client file prepared with a prior version of Corporate Taxprep, if an amount is entered on the lines Accelerated Canadian development expense, less reductions to this expense in Part 5 and Accelerated Canadian oil and gas property expense, less reductions to this expense in Part 6, it will be retained as an overridden value, on the new lines Adjusted ACDE (amount S6) and Adjusted ACOGPE (amount X6) respectively. In addition, data entered in the fields representing the rate and the amount of the deduction in the custom subparts “Deduction in respect of the accelerated Canadian development expense” in Part 5 and “Deduction in respect of the accelerated Canadian oil and gas property expense” in Part 6 will not be retained. When these files contain overridden data, the amount calculated on lines 345 and 445 will be retained as an overridden value.

Moreover, custom lines Government assistance repaid in the tax year have been added to the calculation detail of lines “other additions” (lines 220, 310 and 415) in Parts 4, 5 and 6 respectively.

Finally, custom lines have been added to explicit the calculation for the current-year claim of a successor corporation on lines 295, 395 and 495. Note that new lines Current-year claim under paragraph 66.7(3)(b), Current-year claim under paragraph 66.7(4)(b) and Current-year claim under paragraph 66.7(5)(b) have to be manually completed.

Schedule 17 – Credit Union Deductions (Jump Code: 17)*

The following lines have been removed from the form:

  • line 2J, Amount 2I by the number of days in the taxation year after 2016;
  • line DD, Income eligible for the Manitoba lower tax rate for the period before January 1, 2019;
  • line EE, Income eligible for the Manitoba lower tax rate for the period after December 31, 2018; and
  • line FF, Subtotal.

In addition, in Part 4, lines have been added with respect to the phase out of the additional deduction for credit unions. When opening a client file prepared with a prior version of Corporate Taxprep, certain overridden amounts on the above-mentioned lines might not be retained. Please verify if adjustments are required.

Schedule 23 – Agreement Among Associated Canadian-Controlled Private Corporations to Allocate the Business Limit (Jump Code: 23)*

RD-1029.8.9.03 – Tax Credit for Fees and Dues Paid to a Research Consortium (Jump Code: 10298903)*

As a result of the update of the form, the following modifications were made:

  • Former Section 2.1 becomes Part 2.
  • Part 3 has been added to keep track of the balance of cumulative fees or dues paid to the research consortium. Note that the expenditures incurred by the consortium, whether or not they are related to R&D activities covered on lines 116b, 116c, 116g and 116h, must reduce the fees or dues paid to the consortium according to the first in, first out method.
  • In the past, if the eligible dues or fees originated from more than one taxation year and the percentage on line 135 was not the same for all those years, you had to perform the calculations covered on lines 139 to 141 for each year and override the total of these amounts on line 141 in former Section 2.5. From here on, use the table that was added to Section 4.1 to keep track of eligible fees or dues relating to prior taxation years (line 116c) according to the taxpayer’s percentage interest for those prior taxation years.
  • The information indicated in Section 4.2 includes information entered in former Section 2.5 relating to the taxpayer who became a member of the research consortium in the fiscal year of the latter and whose fiscal year in question ended in the taxation year covered.
  • Former Section 2.4 becomes Section 4.2.1.
  • Section 4.2.2 includes the same calculation of the eligible fees or dues relating to the taxation year covered. Therefore, lines 136 to 138 were kept as in the previous version. The description of line 136 was modified, because it now refers to line 116h in Part 3.
  • Section 4.3 performs the addition of eligible fees or dues from prior years (line 138b) and the year covered (line 138a). In addition, lines 142 to 151 were kept as in the previous version.
  • Former Parts 3 to 7 become Parts 5 to 9.
  • Former Sections 2.2, 2.3 and 2.6 as well as lines 139 to 141 in former Section 2.5 were removed from the form.

When opening a client file prepared with a prior version of Corporate Taxprep, if amounts were entered on lines 139 and 140, they will be retained in the first occurrence of columns B and C, respectively, of line 120 in Section 4.1. In addition, if an amount had been overridden on line 141, it will be retained as an overridden amount in the first occurrence of column D on line 120 in Section 4.1. If this is your situation, it means that the percentage on line 135 was not the same for all prior taxation years. Therefore, enter the information concerning the taxation years in the table of Section 4.1 for each prior taxation year. If an amount was entered on line 153d, it will be kept as an overridden amount on line 116k. A diagnostic will prompt you to complete Part 3 and to remove the override.

When rolling forward a client file, information on line 112f in Part 2 as well as on line 135 in Section 4.2.1 will be updated to columns A and C of a new occurrence of line 120 in Section 4.1. In addition, the information relating to the other prior taxation years in Section 4.1 will also be retained if the amount on line 116e was greater than 0.

When opening a client file prepared with a prior version of Corporate Taxprep, if a permit number longer than 12 characters (excluding hyphens and spaces) was entered in one of the fields above-mentioned, the number will not be retained.

In addition, for section 3.2 to be completed in accordance with the requirements of the Revenu Québec form, you must now complete a separate copy of Form TP-1029.9 PART 3.2 for each permit issued to more than one taxpayer if these taxpayers have chosen to designate the corporation as the sole holder to claim the tax credit. You can access Form TP-1029.9. PART 3.2 from Part 3, Subsection 3.2 “Designation of the holder of a taxi owner's permit” of Form TP-1029.9.

Please check if any adjustments are necessary.

The base amount on line 53 will indicate the amount for the 2019 taxation year, i.e. $584, when the taxation year ends after December 30, 2019. The base amount for the 2020 taxation year, i.e. $594 applies to a taxation year that ends after December 30, 2020.

Schedule 383 – Manitoba Corporation Tax Calculation (Jump Code: 383)*

The field on line 1A, Taxable income for Manitoba, is now used for the period prior to January 1, 2019, and for the period after December 31, 2018. As a result, the field on former line A2, Taxable income for Manitoba, has been removed from Part 1 for the period after December 31, 2018.

In addition, in Part 1 for the period prior to January 1, 2019, the section relating to credit unions has been retained because it is required to calculate the additional deduction for credit unions when the tax year ends before 2019. Therefore, if the tax year ends before 2019, the amount on line 1F is calculated using the amount on line 4. Otherwise, it is calculated using the amount on line 1E.

Also, in Part 1 for the period after December 31, 2018, the section relating to the deduction for credit unions has been removed as it is now included in Part 4 of Schedule 17 (Jump Code: 17).

When opening a client file prepared with a prior version of Corporate Taxprep, the amount that was entered in the removed field will not be retained.

Schedule 389 – Manitoba Book Publishing Tax Credit (Jump Code: 389)*

The duration of the eligibility criteria for the credit has been extended for five years. The modifications are the following:

  • the publication date for the book must be prior to 2025;

In addition, former Part 2, which related to the calculation of income from active business when there is partnership income, has also been removed because the Nova Scotia business limit is the same as the federal government business limit for taxation years starting after 2016.

Prince Edward Island

Schedule 322 – Prince Edward Island Corporation Tax Calculation (Jump Code: 322)*

Lines E1 and E2 have been removed from Part 1. In addition, the lower tax rate will be decreased from 3.5% to 3% on January 1, 2020. As a result, line 2C has been added to Part 2.

Technical Information

Technical Changes

We are proud to present the many technical changes to the enhanced version of Corporate Taxprep. We are convinced that you will be pleased with these changes.

Enhancements to the user interface

The following enhancements have been made to the interface to refine the display of the many Corporate Taxprep views:

  • A single toolbar: The Standard and Advanced toolbars have been merged into a single toolbar that is always displayed which content adjusts according to the view selected. This new toolbar also provides new buttons with a more intuitive design.
  • Access to the views: The shortcut bar that was available on the left side of the main screen of Corporate Taxprep was replaced by the button. When you click this button, a menu displays to allows you to select the desired view.
  • Zoom: The tool allowing you to resize the form is now available in the right corner of the status bar.

    To know how to use this tool, consult the page Customize Form Display.
    The selected zoom factor will apply only to the forms. The Xpress tool and the diagnostics pane possess options allowing you to apply a zoom factor different from the one set for the display of forms.
  • AutoText: To facilitate the entry of data, which is sometimes repetitive, a list of AutoText suggestions in alphabetical order now displays from an alphanumeric field for which such list exists. Start entering an alphanumerical value and, if a list displays, click the value that you want to insert in the cell.
  • TaxprepConnect status bar: The TaxprepConnect a status bar has been modified. The Download button allows you to download a corporation's data, while the icon allows you to display Form CONNECT, TaxprepConnect Download (Jump Code: CONNECT), to review the downloaded data. In addition, you can place the cursor of your mouse on the icon to display the date of the last download performed for the active client file. For more information on TaxprepConnect, consult the page How to Download Tax Data with TaxprepConnect .

Standardized presentation of information in the views

In addition to the Client Manager, Form Manager, EFILE Log view and EFILE Archives view, the following views are also presented in tables:

  • Print Formats view 
  • Preparer Profiles view 
  • Filters and Diagnostics view 
  • Letters and Labels view 
  • Rate Tables view 
  • Advanced Network view (available with the Advance Network version)

Therefore, the functionalities available in these views to display, order and filter the information are identical. The following enhancements have been made to certain of the functionalities:

  • the search is performed from the search box or by using the Ctrl+F shortcut. For more information on this topic, consult the page Search Through Views.
  • the grouping area located at the top of the view is no longer displayed at all times. To group the content of a view according to a column, click the Group button, and drag the column header to the grouping area displayed. To ungroup , click the Ungroup button.
  • the filters available on the column headers now provide more criteria to allow you to quickly find the information you are searching for. As a result, in the Values tab, you can enter the text you are searching for in the list to find the one that you want to use as a search criterion. A second tab is also available to allow you to use advanced filter functions. For more information, consult the page Filter Based on the Content of One Column.

As mentioned above, the Print Formats, Letters and Labels and Filters and Diagnostics views are now presented in tables. In addition to taking advantage of the functionalities listed above, this new way of presenting information provides you with a way to order templates per template types, i.e. predefined or customized. As a result, the customized templates are displayed first in the view as they are the most frequently used templates.

Information on client files in the Open dialog box

The information on the client file displayed in the Open dialog box have been modified. Only the name of the corporation and the business number are now displayed in the dialog box, and this information is located above the name of the file.

To quickly review the information on the client files such as the return status the taxation year end and the various EFILE statuses, use the Client Manager. The Client Data filter allows you to obtain this information at a glance.

Letter Editor: more editing tools available

The following have been enhanced in the Letter Editor used to define the content of letter templates. It also allows you to format and layout the letter.

  • Tables: You can now add one or more tables in a letter template to display data on lines and in columns. For more information on tables, consult the page Add or delete a table.

Options to resize the text, the zoom in and the zoom out  have been added to the Xpress tool and the diagnostics pane. For more information on these options, consult the pages Customize the Xpress List Display and Customize Diagnostics Display.

In addition, as it is now possible to float the Xpress tool panel, the Browse toolbar has been removed from the Display/Toolbar menu.

Changes relating to diagnostics

To group content in the diagnostics pane according to a column (for example, the Type), click the Group  button, then drag the column header to the displayed grouping area.

Diagnostics are ordered by group and each group is presented in a separate table. The name of the group as well as the number of diagnostics are indicated on tabs:

  • The Reviewed tab displays the diagnostics that were reviewed during a first or second revision.
  • The Ignored tab displays the diagnostics that were ignored during a first or second revision.
