Marginal note:Supply by small supplier division
129.1 (1) If a public service body makes a taxable supply through a branch or division of the body and the consideration or a part of the consideration for the supply becomes due to the body at a time when the branch or division is a small supplier division or is paid to the body at such a time without having become due, the consideration or the part of the consideration, as the case may be, shall not be included in calculating the tax payable in respect of the supply or in determining a threshold amount of the body under section 249 and that supply is, for the purposes of this Part, deemed not to have been made by a registrant, except if the supply is
(a) a supply by way of sale of real property;
(b) a supply by way of sale of personal property by a municipality that is capital property of the municipality; or
(c) a supply by way of sale of designated municipal property of a person designated to be a municipality for the purposes of section 259 that is capital property of the person.
Marginal note:Restriction on input tax credits for purchases
(2) In determining an input tax credit of a public service body, there shall not be included an amount in respect of tax that, at any time after March 27, 1991, became payable, or was paid without having become payable, by the body, to the extent that the tax
(a) is in respect of property (other than capital property or improvements thereto) acquired, imported or brought into a participating province by the body for the purpose of consumption, use or supply in the course of activities engaged in by the body through a small supplier division of the body; or
(b) is calculated on consideration, or a part thereof, that is reasonably attributable to services that were, before that time, consumed, used or supplied by the body in the course of activities engaged in by the body through a small supplier division of the body or that are, at that time, intended to be so consumed, used or supplied.

(d) the amount, if any, by which
(i) the total of all amounts each of which is tax that, before that time, was paid or became payable by the body in respect of the last acquisition or importation of the property by the body or that was deemed under subsection 129(6) to have been collected by the body in respect of the property
exceeds
