1 STATUTORY INTERPRETATION: Lessons Learned from «Loading» David Douglas Robertson Couzin Taylor LLP
2 What is Insurance Insurance Act, R.S.O. 1990, c. I-8 Insurance means the undertaking by one person to indemnify another person against loss or liability in respect of a certain risk or peril to which the object of the insurance may be exposed, or to pay a sum of money or other thing of value upon the happening of a certain event, and includes life insurance. Page 2
3 Modern Principles of Tax Statutory Interpretation 1. The words of the Act are to be read in their entire context and in their grammatical and ordinary sense harmoniously with the scheme of the Act, its object, and the intent of Parliament. 2. Where the words of a tax statute are precise and unequivocal, the words play a dominant role. 3. However, the courts must always undertake a unified textual, contextual, and purposive analysis. 4. If a provision has more than one reasonable meaning, greater emphasis is placed on context, scheme and purposes. 5. Residual presumption in favour of the taxpayer. Page 3
4 Textual / Contextual / Purposive Textual Focus on the words of the particular provision Apply statutory definitions, legal definitions, ordinary dictionary definitions, specialized dictionarys Consider text in both official languages Consider definitions from other relevant statutes Contextual Focus on (a) subject matter of the relevant provision and (b) Related provisions and scheme of the Act Purposive What was the purpose and intent of the provision Department of Finance publications, particularly Technical Notes Page 4

32 STATUTORY INTERPRETATION PURPOSIVE INTERPRETATION Page 32
33 Purposive Interpretation Loading Department of Finance Backgrounder - November 17, 2005 While this interpretation is an issue for both supplies made in Canada and imported supplies, additional concerns arise in the case of imported supplies. Exempt financial services supplied in Canada are not entirely free of GST/HST, as suppliers in Canada incur unrecoverable GST/HST on the inputs into their supplies. However, exempt financial services imported into Canada could effectively be free of all GST/HST as there is no unrecoverable tax on inputs. Under the current rules, recipients of imported exempt financial services are not required to self-assess any GST/HST and suppliers outside Canada either do not pay any tax on their inputs or do not incur any unrecoverable value-added tax (VAT) since most VAT jurisdictions, including Canada, remove embedded taxes from exports of financial services. The differential treatment of exempt financial services imported into Canada vis-à-vis those supplied in Canada is inequitable. Page 33
34 Purposive Interpretation Loading Department of Finance Backgrounder - November 17, The other exclusions include items such as certain interest payments, dividends, consideration for a supply of a financial service supplied as part of a transaction or series of transactions in which all participants deal at arm s length with the FI and, in the case where the participant does not deal at arm s length with the FI, the portion of the consideration that represents the inherent financial element of the transaction or series (e.g., the pure risk premium). Page 34
35 Purposive Interpretation Loading Department of Finance Detailed Proposals - November 17, 2005 [After describing what loading includes]... By way of example, if the amount of an outlay or expenses included in A is the premium for an insurance policy supplied to a qualifying taxpayer by a related party, then the portion of the insurance premium covering the related party s expenses of doing business and margins will represent loading. However, the portion of that insurance premium covering an estimate of the quantum for expected future claims under that insurance policy would generally not represent loading and, therefore, would be allowed as a deduction under B. Page 35
36 Purpose Interpretation Loading Draft Legislation January 2007 Any part of the value of the consideration for a specified non-arm s length supply that is attributable to administrative expense, an error or profit margin, business handling costs, commissions (other than commissions for a specified financial service), communication expenses, claims handling costs, employee compensation or benefits, execution or clearing costs, management fees, marketing or advertising costs, occupancy or equipment expenses, operating expenses, acquisition costs, premium collection costs, processing costs and any other costs or expenses of a person that makes the specified non-arm s length supply, other than the part of the value of the consideration that is (a) In the case of a specified non-arm s length supply in respect of which the financial service includes the issuance, renewal, variation or transfer of ownership of an insurance policy but not any other financial instrument, the estimate of the quantum that an insured is expected to claim under the insurance policy; (b) In the case of a specific non-arm s length supply in respect of which the financial service includes the issuance, renewal, variation or transfer of ownership of a financial instrument (other than an insurance policy), the estimate of the default risk premium that is directly associated with the qualifying instrument;...

Page 37
38 Purpose Interpretation Loading Technical Notes April 2010 However, there are certain risk estimates that may form part of the value of the consideration for a supply of a financial service. If these estimates are part of the value for the consideration for the supply, they are specifically excluded from the definition loading. For example, if the financial service supplied includes... an insurance policy... the estimate of the net premium of that insurance policy does not represent loading. A net premium generally corresponds to the average cost of a claim, multiplied by the probability that the event being covered will occur. Page 38
39 Purpose Interpretation Loading Technical Notes April 2010 Inputs for a supply of a financial service, which are largely administrative in nature, fall within the definition loading and, therefore, form part of the tax base that is subject to the self-assessment provisions in section and subsection 218.1(1.2). However, the part of the consideration for a supply of a financial service that is clearly and fundamentally financial in nature, like the specific estimates described above, generally do not form part of the tax base that is subject to the selfassessment provisions in section and subsection 218.1(1.2).

49 STATUTORY INTERPRETATION RESIDUAL PRESUMPTION Page 49
50 Placer Dome Canada v Ontario Residual Presumption Although there is a residual presumption in favour of the taxpayer, it is residual only and applies in the exceptional case where application of the ordinary principles of interpretation do not resolve the issue.... Any doubt about the meaning of a taxation statute must be reasonable, and no recourse to the presumption lies unless the usual rules of interpretation have been applied, to no avail, in an attempt to discern the meaning of the provision at issue.
