    (15) In computing the GloBE income or loss of a constituent entity for a fiscal year, a qualified refundable tax credit is treated as income as follows:

    • (a) if the tax credit is related to the acquisition or construction of assets and the originator has an accounting policy of reducing the carrying value of its assets in respect of such tax credits or recognizing the tax credit as deferred income, the originator must follow the accounting policy; and

    • (b) in any other case, the face value of the tax credit is treated as income in the fiscal year in which the entitlement under the tax credit accrues.

  • Marginal note:Marketable transferable tax credits

    (16) In computing the GloBE income or loss of a constituent entity for a fiscal year,

    • (a) if the constituent entity is an originator of a marketable transferable tax credit, the face value of the tax credit is treated as income in the origination year, subject to the following rules:

      • (i) if the tax credit is transferred within 15 months of the end of the origination year, the purchase price (and not the face value) of the tax credit is treated as income in the origination year,

      • (ii) if the tax credit is related to the acquisition or construction of assets and the originator has an accounting policy of reducing the carrying value of its assets in respect of such tax credits, or recognizing the tax credit as deferred income, the originator must follow this same accounting policy,

      • (iii) if the tax credit is transferred more than 15 months after the end of the origination year,

        • (A) if the tax credit is described in subparagraph (ii), the amount by which the face value of the tax credit that was included in GloBE income or loss under that subparagraph exceeds the purchase price of the tax credit is treated as a loss on a pro rata basis over the remaining productive life of the asset, and

        • (B) in any other case, the amount by which the face value of the tax credit that was included in GloBE income or loss in the origination year exceeds the purchase price of the tax credit is treated as a loss in the fiscal year of the transfer, and

      • (iv) if all or a portion of the tax credit expires without use, the face value attributable to the expired portion of the tax credit is treated as a loss or increase to the carrying value of the asset, as the case may be, in the fiscal year of the expiration; and

    • (b) if the constituent entity is an unrelated purchaser of a marketable transferable tax credit, the following rules apply:

      • (i) if all or a portion of the tax credit is used by the unrelated purchaser to satisfy its liability for a covered tax, the amount by which the face value of the tax credit exceeds the purchase price is treated as income in the fiscal year in which, and in the proportion to which, the amount of the tax credit is used by the unrelated purchaser to satisfy its liability for a covered tax,

      • (ii) if the tax credit is transferred by the unrelated purchaser to another unrelated purchaser, the total of the sale price and any amount of the credit that has been used, minus the total of the purchase price and any gain recognized from use of the tax credit under subparagraph (i), is treated as income or loss, as the case may be, of the unrelated purchaser in the fiscal year of the transfer, and

      • (iii) if the tax credit expires without use, the amount by which the total of the purchase price and any gain recognized from use of the tax credit under subparagraph (i) exceeds the amount of the tax credit used is treated as a loss in the fiscal year of the expiration.

  • Marginal note:Other tax credits

    (17) In computing the GloBE income or loss of a constituent entity for a fiscal year, the face value of a tax credit (other than a qualified refundable tax credit or a marketable transferable tax credit) is not treated as income.

  • Marginal note:Anti-avoidance — intragroup financing arrangements

    (18) GloBE income or loss of a constituent entity that is a low-tax entity for a fiscal year excludes any expense that is attributable to an intragroup financing arrangement that can reasonably be expected, over the duration of the arrangement,

    • (a) to increase the amount of expenses taken into account in computing the GloBE income or loss of the low-tax entity; and

    • (b) not to result in a corresponding increase in the income for tax purposes of a high-tax counterparty for the fiscal year, including because an amount received or receivable in respect of the arrangement by the high-tax counterparty can reasonably be considered to be eligible for an exclusion, exemption, deduction, credit or other tax benefit under local law where the amount of that benefit is calculated by reference to the amount of payment received.

  • Marginal note:Insurance companies

    (19) If a constituent entity is an insurance company, the constituent entity’s GloBE income or loss for a fiscal year

  • Marginal note:Qualifying tier one capital

    (20) In computing the GloBE income or loss of a constituent entity for a fiscal year,

    • (a) if an amount is recognized as a decrease to the equity of the constituent entity attributable to a distribution paid or payable in respect of qualifying tier one capital issued by the constituent entity, the amount is treated as an expense; and

    • (b) if an amount is recognized as an increase to the equity of the constituent entity attributable to distributions received or receivable in respect of qualifying tier one capital held by the constituent entity, the amount is treated as income.

  • Marginal note:Stock-based compensation expense — election

    (21) If a filing constituent entity elects under this subsection, in respect of the costs or expenses of the group entities that are located in a jurisdiction that were paid with stock-based compensation (each referred to in this subsection as a “stock-based compensation expense”), the following rules apply:

    • (a) the election is a five-year election;

    • (b) in computing the GloBE income or loss of each group entity that is located in that jurisdiction for a fiscal year to which the election applies, the amount allowed as a deduction in respect of any stock-based compensation expense in computing that entity’s income for tax purposes under the law of that jurisdiction for a local taxation year ending in the fiscal year is to be substituted for the amount of that stock-based compensation expense reflected as an expense in that entity’s financial accounting income for that fiscal year;

    • (c) in computing the GloBE income or loss of each group entity that is located in that jurisdiction for any fiscal year to which the election applies, the group entity is to include as income an amount equal to the total of all amounts, each of which is a stock-based compensation expense that

      • (i) arose in respect of an option that expires without exercise in the fiscal year, and

      • (ii) was allowed as an expense in computing the GloBE income or loss of the group entity in accordance with the election for a prior fiscal year;

    • (d) if the election applies with respect to stock-based compensation expenses arising from a transaction, and any amount in respect of the stock-based compensation expenses arising from that transaction was reflected in the financial accounting income of a group entity for a fiscal year preceding the first fiscal year to which the election applies, in computing GloBE income or loss of that group entity for that first fiscal year, the amount determined by the following formula is to be included as income:

      A − B

      where

      A
      is the total of all amounts, each of which is an amount in respect of stock-based compensation expenses arising from that transaction that was allowed as an expense in computing the group entity’s GloBE income or loss for a fiscal year preceding the first fiscal year, and
      B
      is the total of all amounts, each of which is the amount in respect of those stock-based compensation expenses that would have been allowed as an expense in computing the GloBE income or loss of the group entity for a fiscal year preceding the first fiscal year, if the election had applied to that preceding fiscal year; and
    • (e) if the election is revoked, and any options in respect of any stock-based compensation to which the election applied have not been exercised — and the exercise period has not yet ended — before the revocation year, in computing GloBE income or loss of a group entity that is located in the jurisdiction for the revocation year, the amount determined by the following formula is to be included as income:

      A − B

      where

      A
      is the total of all amounts, each of which is an amount in respect of that stock-based compensation expense allowed as an expense in computing the GloBE income or loss of the group entity in accordance with the election for a fiscal year preceding the revocation year, and
      B
      is the total of all amounts, each of which is the amount in respect of that stock-based compensation that accrued as an expense in the group entity’s financial accounts, and would have been allowed as an expense in computing the group entity’s GloBE income or loss if the election had not applied, for a fiscal year preceding the revocation year.
  • Marginal note:Fair value and impairment accounting — election

    • (b) the election applies to

      • (i) all entities that are

      • (ii) for the purpose of determining a gain or loss in respect of an asset or liability that is subject to the election, the carrying value of the asset or liability is its carrying value at the later of

        • (A) the beginning of the first fiscal year to which the election applies, and

        • (B) the date on which the asset was acquired or the liability was incurred; and

    • (d) if the election is revoked and a constituent entity to which the election applied holds an asset or liability to which the election applied at the beginning of the revocation year, the constituent entity’s GloBE income or loss for the revocation year includes the positive or negative amount determined by the formula

      A − B

      where

      A
      is the fair value of the asset or liability at the beginning of the revocation year, and
      B
      is the carrying value of the asset or liability as determined under subparagraph (c)(ii).

      • (ii) an amount allocated to a local entity under paragraph (e) for a fiscal year is included as income for that year;

    • (d) amounts in respect of the aggregate asset gain are carried back to loss years within the look-back period, in order from the earliest loss year to the latest loss year, and allocated to the local entities for those loss years, with the amount allocated to any particular local entity for any particular loss year being determined by the formula

      A × B ÷ C

      where

      A
      is the lesser of
      • (i) the aggregate asset loss of local entities for the particular loss year, less the total of the amounts, if any, already allocated to those entities for that particular year under this paragraph because of a previous election under this subsection, and

      • (ii) the aggregate asset gain, less the total of the amounts, if any, allocated in respect of that gain under this paragraph to local entities for a preceding loss year,

      B
      is the particular local entity’s net asset loss for the particular loss year, and
      C
      is the total of all amounts, each of which is the net asset loss of a local entity for the particular loss year; and
    • (e) if any amount of the aggregate asset gain remains after reducing it by the total of the amounts in respect of the aggregate asset gain allocated to local entities under paragraph (d), that remainder is allocated evenly to each fiscal year in the look-back period (each referred to in this paragraph as a “look-back year”), with the amount that is allocated to a particular local entity for a particular look-back year being determined by the formula

      A ÷ 5 × B ÷ C

      where

      A
      is the aggregate asset gain, less the total of the amounts in respect of that aggregate asset gain allocated to local entities under paragraph (d),
      B
      is
      • (i) if no local entity has a net asset gain for the particular look-back year, 1, and

      • (ii) in any other case, the particular local entity’s net asset gain for the particular look-back year, and

      C
      is
      • (i) if subparagraph (i) of the description of B applies, the total number of local entities for the particular look-back year, and

      • (ii) if subparagraph (ii) of the description of B applies, the total of all amounts, each of which is the net asset gain of a local entity for the particular look-back year.

  • Marginal note:Tax consolidated group — election

    (24) If a filing constituent entity elects under this subsection in respect of the standard constituent entities of an MNE group that are located in a particular jurisdiction and included in a tax consolidated group (each referred to in this subsection as a “relevant local entity”), the following rules apply:

    • (a) the financial accounting income of the relevant local entities is adjusted for a fiscal year for which the election has effect by applying the consolidated accounting treatment of the ultimate parent entity to eliminate income, expenses, gains and losses arising from transactions between relevant local entities;

    • (b) the election is a five-year election;

    • (c) the financial accounting income of the relevant local entities is to be adjusted for the first fiscal year for which the election has effect to ensure that there are no duplications or omissions of items of income, expenses, gains or losses arising as a result of electing under this subsection;

    • (d) if an election under this subsection is revoked, the financial accounting income of relevant local entities is to be adjusted for the revocation year to ensure that there are no duplications or omissions of items of income, expenses, gains or losses arising as a result of the revocation; and

    • (e) for the purposes of this subsection, relevant local entities that are located in a jurisdiction are considered to be included in a tax consolidated group if, under the law of that jurisdiction, the income, expenses, gains or losses of those group entities may be shared for tax purposes by virtue of a connection between the entities based on ownership or common control.

  • Marginal note:Qualified debt release — election

    (25) If a filing constituent entity elects under this subsection for a fiscal year in respect of a constituent entity, the constituent entity’s GloBE income or loss excludes any qualified debt release amounts of the entity for the year.
