Chart 7 – Net corporate income tax rate
If the trusts' fiscal period is not based on a calendar year, calculate the net corporate income tax rate as follows:
(number of days in period 1) ÷ (number of days in tax year)
(number of days in period 2) ÷ (number of days in tax year)
Chart 8 – Provincial or territorial SIFT tax rate
Part A – Determine the SIFT trust's general corporate income tax rate for a province or territory
If based on the SIFT trust's tax year, more than one general corporate income tax rate applies for a province or territory, complete Part A for each province or territory.
(number of days in which the first rate applies) ÷ (number of days in tax year)
(number of days in which the second rate applies) ÷ (number of days in tax year)
=
See the chart on the provincial/territorial SIFT tax part page for the general corporate income tax rates for each province or territory.
Where the SIFT trust has a permanent establishment(s) in only one province or territory, and does not have a permanent establishment outside Canada, line 3 is the SIFT trust's provincial/territorial SIFT tax rate for the year.
Where the SIFT trust had at least one other permanent establishment outside of the province or the territory (whether inside or outside of Canada), complete Part B.
Part B – SIFT trust with multiple jurisdictions in the tax year
If the trust has permanent establishments in multiple jurisdictions in the tax year, use the following formula to determine the prorated general corporate income tax rate for each province or territory. Repeat the calculation for all provinces or territories in which the trust has a permanent establishment, then enter the total of all amounts on line 5.
(taxable SIFT distributions
attributed to a province or territory) ÷ (total taxable SIFT distributions)
If the trust has no permanent establishments outside Canada, line 5 is the provincial or territorial SIFT tax rate for the year. Otherwise, continue below.
(taxable SIFT distributions attributed to provinces or territories) ÷ (total taxable SIFT distributions)
