What is the Canada Learning Bonds program? Briefly describe the program.

Correct Answer

verifed

verified

In the Canada Learning Bonds program, the government will make contributions to an RESP for a child whose family qualifies for the National Child Benefit supplement. The contributions will be made in each year that the child's family qualifies for the supplement, beginning with the year that the child is born and ending in the year that the child reaches age 15. The first payment will be for $500, plus an additional $25 to help defray the costs of establishing an RESP for the child. Subsequent payments will be for $100 in each year that the family qualifies. Unlike Canada Education Savings Grants, there is no requirement for contributions to be made in order for the RESP to receive the Canada Learning Bonds contributions.

Earnings on amounts contributed to an RESP accumulate on a tax free basis.

Martin Ho owns a farm property. Relevant information is as follows: Land - The land has an adjusted cost base of $435,000 and a fair market value of $584,000. Building - The barn has a UCC of $140,000, a capital cost of $165,000, and a fair market value of $175,000. The property is transferred to his son. The son pays $470,000 for the land. No payment is made for the barn. Describe the tax consequences of this transfer for both Martin and his son.

Correct Answer

verifed

verified

The $470,000 that was paid for the land is between the $435,000 adjusted cost base floor and the $584,000 fair market value ceiling. This means that the proceeds of disposition would be $470,000, resulting in a taxable capital gain for Martin of $17,500 [(1/2)($470,000 - $435,000)]. The adjusted cost base for the son would also be $470,000. As no consideration was provided for the barn, the transfer would take place at the UCC floor of $140,000. For Martin, there would be no tax consequences. With respect to the son, he would assume the UCC value of $140,000 and the $165,000 capital cost would be retained, with the $25,000 difference being treated as deemed CCA.
