REGULATORY IMPACT ANALYSIS STATEMENT

(This statement is not part of the Regulations.)

Issues

Certain sections of the Excise Tax Act (the ETA) and the Selected Listed Financial Institutions Attribution Method (GST/HST) Regulations (the SLFI Regulations) set out special rules by which certain financial institutions are required to calculate the amount of the provincial component of the harmonized sales tax (HST) remittable by them, or refundable to them, for each of their reporting periods. These rules are collectively referred to as the “special attribution method” and the financial institutions to which these rules apply are referred to as “selected listed financial institutions” or “SLFIs.” The SLFI Regulations also prescribe which financial institutions are selected listed financial institutions.

Under the special attribution method, SLFIs make adjustments to their net tax otherwise determined under the general rules of the ETA. The adjustments take into account the provincial component of the HST in respect of the SLFI’s purchases of goods and services for use in activities carried out within both the HST participating provinces and the non-participating provinces. In the absence of the special attribution method, the SLFI would be required to track the actual extent to which goods and services purchased by it were for use in each of the HST participating provinces and in the non-participating provinces. The net tax adjustments provided for under the special attribution method rules serve as a proxy for the amount of the HST that should be borne by an SLFI on property and services consumed by it in its exempt activities undertaken in relation to the HST participating provinces, while avoiding the complexity of detailed tracking.

Amendments to the SLFI Regulations and to certain related regulations are required to implement changes to the HST treatment of SLFIs following the modernization of the SLFI HST framework and the adoption of the HST for Ontario at a rate of 13%, consisting of a 5% federal component and an 8% provincial component, effective July 1, 2010, the adoption of the HST for British Columbia at a rate of 12%, consisting of a 5% federal component and a 7% provincial component, effective the same day, and the increase in the rate of the provincial component of the HST for Nova Scotia from 8% to 10%, also effective the same day. These amendments were described in detail in the backgrounders accompanying the Department of Finance news releases dated May 19, 2010, June 30, 2010, and January 28, 2011. Furthermore, the bulk of these regulatory amendments were previously released in draft form with the June 30, 2010, news release and again with the January 28, 2011, news release.

In addition, as a result of British Columbia’s decision to exit the HST effective April 1, 2013, amendments to the SLFI Regulations are required in order to provide for transitional rules that set out how the special attribution method is to apply in respect of British Columbia for reporting periods of SLFIs that straddle that day. Details of these transitional rules were released by the Department of Finance on February 17, 2012.

Objectives

The Regulations Amending Various GST/HST Regulations, No. 4 (the Regulations) are required in order to formalize and give legal effect to these previous announcements.

Description

The Regulations contain rules relating to the special attribution method that is applicable to SLFIs. Specifically, the Regulations include amendments to the following regulations:

— Selected Listed Financial Institutions Attribution Method (GST/HST) Regulations;
— New Harmonized Value-added Tax System Regulations;
— New Harmonized Value-added Tax System Regulations, No. 2;
— Electronic Filing and Provision of Information (GST/HST) Regulations;
— Financial Services (GST/HST) Regulations; and
— Amalgamations and Windings-up Continuation (GST/HST) Regulations.

Selected Listed Financial Institutions Attribution Method (GST/HST) Regulations

The SLFI Regulations currently contain rules that relate to SLFIs and to the special attribution method that applies to SLFIs. In particular, the SLFI Regulations

(i) prescribe financial institutions as SLFIs, thus allowing them to use the special attribution method when calculating their net tax;
(ii) prescribe the rules to determine a percentage (referred to as the “attribution percentage”) for a participating province under the special attribution method;
(iii) prescribe amounts of tax that are excluded from the special attribution method;
(iv) prescribe amounts that must be included in the special attribution method;
(v) provide for different special attribution methods that may apply to an SLFI that is an “investment plan,” such as a mutual fund, a pension plan or an employee benefit plan;
(vi) provide for elections that allow managers of certain investment plans or of certain related groups of investment plans to account for the sales tax liability of the investment plan or group;
(vii) prescribe the circumstances in which an SLFI’s fiscal year ends earlier than it otherwise would and prescribe the day on which the next fiscal year of the SLFI begins;
(viii) prescribe meanings for certain defined terms for the purposes of certain sections of the ETA related to SLFIs; and
(ix) prescribe SLFIs, or groups of SLFIs, that are required to register for GST/HST purposes.

Certain of the amendments to the current SLFI Regulations apply in respect of all SLFIs. These amendments generally provide that

— a financial institution (other than an investment plan) is an SLFI if it has a permanent establishment or a customer in an HST participating province and a permanent establishment or a customer in any other province; and
— the methods for determining an SLFI’s provincial attribution percentages, which the SLFI uses to determine its liability for the provincial component of the HST for each of the HST participating provinces, reflect the consumption of the SLFI’s financial services by residents of the province.

As well, certain amendments to the current SLFI Regulations apply specifically to investment plans. They generally provide that

— an investment plan is an SLFI if it distributes or sells its units in an HST participating province and in any other province or, in the case of an investment plan that does not distribute or sell its units to the public (e.g. a pension plan), if it has members in an HST participating province and in any other province;
— an investment plan’s provincial attribution percentages are generally determined using data that is available to the investment plan before the beginning of the fund’s fiscal year so that the investment plan may determine its liability for the provincial component of the HST on an ongoing basis during the year, although certain publicly traded investment plans may elect to use more current data in order to determine this liability;
— a group of funds included under a single declaration of trust may elect to file a single group return; and
— an investment plan and its manager may make an election that would transfer to the manager any tax liabilities or tax refunds of the investment plan, which are determined under the special attribution method.

Other amendments to the SLFI Regulations provide transitional rules for the adoption of the HST in Ontario and British Columbia effective July 1, 2010, for the increase in the Nova Scotia component of the HST from 8% to 10% effective July 1, 2010, and for the subsequent decision of B.C. to exit the HST effective April 1, 2013. Generally, these transitional rules provide that if a reporting period of an SLFI straddles one of these dates, the SLFI’s liability for the provincial component of the HST for the province in question would be determined on an apportionment basis, based on the number of days in the reporting period before and after that date. Proposed amendments to the SLFI Regulations announced on November 8, 2012, by the Government of Prince Edward Island are anticipated to be submitted in the near future.

A refinement to the proposed amendments to the SLFI Regulations that were previously announced relates to the determination of which investment plans are prescribed as SLFIs. Generally, an investment plan is prescribed to be an SLFI if it has unit holders or members both in a participating province and in any other province. However, investment plans that do not distribute or sell units to the public and that have an “unrecoverable tax amount” of less than $10,000 for a fiscal year are not generally prescribed as SLFIs for the following fiscal year. For the purposes of this calculation, the “unrecoverable tax amount” of an investment plan for a fiscal year is generally equal to the amount of goods and services tax (GST) and the federal component of the HST that becomes payable, or that is paid without having become payable, by the investment plan during the fiscal year less any input tax credits relating to that tax. In the case of a pension entity of a pension plan, the unrecoverable tax amount also includes any amount that is deemed to be tax under the ETA in respect of supplies made to the pension entity by a participating employer in the pension plan. For completeness, the refinement requires a pension entity of a pension plan in determining its unrecoverable tax amount to also include certain adjustments made under the ETA to the net tax of the pension entity in respect of those amounts of deemed tax.

Another refinement to the proposed amendments to the SLFI Regulations that were previously announced relates to data that is used by banks in order to calculate their provincial attribution percentages for a year. Under the previously announced proposed amendments, banks were required to calculate their provincial attribution percentages based on data that was collected monthly throughout the fiscal year. The refinement provides that this calculation would instead be based on quarterly data. For reporting periods that begin before the Regulations are published in the Canada Gazette, Part II, however, a bank may elect to use either quarterly or monthly data for determining its provincial attribution percentages.

A further refinement relates to the election that is available to certain related groups of publicly traded investment plans that share a common manager. Under this election, the manager of such a related group files a single joint GST/HST return on behalf of the group. A new rule for this election would apply when one of the investment plans that made the election is no longer an investment plan or an SLFI, no longer exists, or no longer has the same manager or the same reporting periods as the other investment plans in the related group. In this case, the new rule states that the investment plan is deemed to have withdrawn from the joint election and the election continues for the other members of the group. Under the previously announced rules, in such circumstances, the election would have ceased to have effect for the entire group. As well, a new rule provides that in the case where such an investment plan ceases to exist, the manager is required to include the investment plan’s information for its final reporting period in the next joint interim return that the manager files on behalf of the group and is required to include the investment plan’s information in the joint final returns that the manager files on behalf of the group for the reporting periods that are included in the investment plan’s final fiscal year.

Further, proposed rules relating to the determination of an investment plan’s provincial attribution percentages in circumstances where the investment plan participates in a merger or amalgamation were released for consultation on January 28, 2011. Under these rules, when two or more investment plans participate in a merger or amalgamation and one of those investment plans continues to exist after the merger or amalgamation, the provincial attribution percentage for a province of the continuing investment plan is generally a weighted average of the provincial attribution percentages for the province of all of the investment plans that participated in the merger or amalgamation. In addition to these rules, the amendments to the SLFI Regulations prescribe that an investment plan participating in a merger and continuing to exist after the merger are prescribed circumstances in which, for the purposes of the ETA, the fiscal year of the investment plan ends, and the day of the merger is the prescribed day on which the next fiscal year of the investment plan begins. This has the effect of ending the fiscal year of the continuing investment plan on the day before the day of the merger and of having the following fiscal year of that investment plan begin on the day of the merger.

In addition, a refinement relates to the definition of “permanent establishment.” For the purposes of the SLFI Regulations, a person generally has a permanent establishment in a province if it has a permanent establishment in the province for the purposes of the Income Tax Regulations or if it conducts business in the province. The refinement provides that in the case of an investment plan the permanent establishment of a trustee of the investment plan is not considered to be a permanent establishment of the investment plan itself. This ensures that an investment plan will not be an SLFI solely because it has a trustee resident in a participating province. Instead the residency test for investment plans is based solely on the province of residency of its investors or members. However, for determining the SLFI status of investment plans for reporting periods of an investment plan in a fiscal year that ends in a taxation year of the investment plan that begin before the Regulations are published in the Canada Gazette, Part II, an investment plan would continue to treat a permanent establishment of its trustee as a permanent establishment of the investment plan.

Finally, a refinement relates to the transitional rules for the exit by British Columbia from the HST, which were released for consultation on February 17, 2012. Under these rules, an SLFI would generally determine its liability for the British Columbia component of the HST for the reporting period of the SLFI that straddles April 1, 2013 (i.e. the date on which British Columbia exits from the HST), by first determining its liability for the British Columbia component of the HST for that entire reporting period and then prorating that amount by the ratio of the number of days in the reporting period before April 1, 2013, to the total number of days in the reporting period. The refinement provides that for investment plans that distribute or sell their units to the public (e.g. mutual funds, exchange-traded funds, mortgage investment corporations or segregated funds of insurers), the prorating factor is instead the ratio of the amount of GST and the federal component of the HST that becomes payable, or that is paid without having become payable, during the reporting period before April 1, 2013, to the total amount of that tax that becomes payable, or that is paid without having become payable, during the reporting period.

New Harmonized Value-added Tax System Regulations

These Regulations contain various rules that relate to the harmonized value-added tax system under the ETA, including some of the transitional rules related to the implementation of the HST in Ontario and British Columbia. Amendments to these Regulations provide for a special calculation of the amount of the quarterly instalment payments for the fiscal year straddling the July 1, 2010, implementation date that are required to be made by SLFIs that have an annual reporting period. This ensures that the instalment payments for that fiscal year reflect the increased amount of the provincial component of the HST in respect of those provinces that is to be remitted.

New Harmonized Value-added Tax System Regulations, No. 2

These Regulations contain various rules that relate to the harmonized value-added tax system under the ETA. Amendments to these regulations implement rules relating to certain publicly held investment plans that can only have unit holders that are resident in one province. These amendments ensure that these investment plans pay any HST at the rate for the province in which their unit holders are resident by providing for special rules for the calculation of the amount of the provincial component of the HST based on the residency of the unit holders and by providing for a rebate of the provincial component of the HST in the case where such an investment plan pays HST at a rate that is higher than the rate applicable in the province in which the unit holders are resident.

Electronic Filing and Provision of Information (GST/HST)Regulations

These Regulations contain various rules relating to the electronic filing of returns by GST/HST registrants. Amendments to these Regulations require SLFIs to report the amount of input tax credit recapture of the provincial component of the HST for a reporting period in a separate line in their returns, as is currently required of other large businesses that are subject to input tax credit recapture of the provincial component of the HST. Further amendments also ensure that an SLFI that fails to report these amounts in its return for a reporting period will be subject to the same penalties as those other large businesses.

Financial Services (GST/HST) Regulations

These Regulations generally prescribe certain services that are included in or excluded from the definition of “financial service” in Part IX of the ETA and prescribe which financial institutions are subject to, or relieved from complying with, certain GST/HST rules governing financial institutions. The title of these Regulations is changed to the Financial Services and Financial Institutions (GST/HST) Regulations. Under the ETA, most large financial institutions are subject to special rules to determine the amount of GST/HST payable in respect of certain importations of services and intangible personal property. Amendments to these Regulations provide that a non-resident trust with beneficiaries that are resident in Canada and that have a beneficial interest in assets of the trust that are worth more than $10,000,000 is also subject to these special rules. Amendments to these Regulations also exempt investment plans that are SLFIs from the requirement to file the annual detailed information return for GST/HST purposes that is required of most other large financial institutions.

Amalgamations and Windings-up Continuation (GST/HST)Regulations

The ETA generally states that after an amalgamation or winding-up of a corporation, the continuing corporation is considered to be the same entity as the corporate entities that existed prior to the amalgamation or winding-up for the purposes of certain provisions of the ETA. These Regulations prescribe additional provisions of the ETA for the purposes of which the continuing corporation is considered to be the same entity as the corporate entities that existed prior to the amalgamation or winding-up. Amendments to these Regulations add a reference to the provision of the ETA that implements the special attribution method for SLFIs.

“One-for-One” Rule

The Regulations address tax or tax administration and are carved out from the “One-for-One” Rule.

Small business lens

The small business lens does not apply to the Regulations as no disproportionate impact on small businesses is expected.

Consultation

The Regulations were developed in consultation with the governments of Ontario, Nova Scotia, New Brunswick, British Columbia and Newfoundland and Labrador.

Details of the amendments were released by the Department of Finance on May 19, 2010, June 30, 2010, January 28, 2011, and February 17, 2012. Draft regulations containing the bulk of these amendments were also released for consultation by the Department of Finance on June 30, 2010, and again on January 28, 2011. Finally, the transitional rules for the exit from the HST of British Columbia that are applicable to SLFIs were released by the Department of Finance on February 17, 2012. In some cases, the Regulations have been amended to take into account comments received during consultations. Differences between the Regulations and these announcements are noted above.

Rationale

The Regulations are required as a result of the adoption of the HST for Ontario and British Columbia, effective July 1, 2010, the increase in the rate of the provincial component of the HST for Nova Scotia from 8% to 10%, effective the same day, and the subsequent decision by British Columbia to exit the HST, effective April 1, 2013. The Regulations formalize and give legal effect to previously announced amendments that are already being complied with by affected stakeholders.
