Question:

Droid Inc. has a December 31 year-end. It is a Canadian-controlled private corporation. The following information relates to its 2021 taxation year:

1. At the beginning of 2021, both the company’s Eligible RDTOH and the company’s GRIP had balances of nil. Also on this date, the balance in its Non-Eligible RDTOH was $10,000.

2. A few years ago Droid Inc. purchased 60 percent of the outstanding shares of Argos Ltd. On November 1, 2021, Argos Ltd. paid a non-eligible dividend of $47,000. Droid Inc. collected $28,200 (60 percent) of this dividend. As a result of paying the $47,000 dividend, Argos Ltd. collected a dividend refund of $7,000.

3. Other income that was reported by Droid Inc. consisted of the following amounts:
Interest $1,000
Capital Gain (Sale Of Land) 25,000
Eligible Dividends From Canadian Public Companies 5,000

The interest is on deposits of temporary cash balances set aside for the purchase of
inventories.

4. The company’s Taxable Income for the year ending December 31, 2021, was $85,000. No
foreign income was included in this total. Assume the Part I Tax Payable for the year ending
December 31, 2021, was correctly calculated as $20,000.
Because of its association with Argos Ltd., Droid’s share of the annual business limit on income eligible for the small business deduction is $30,000. Droid’s active business income is greater than its share of the annual business limit.

5. Droid Inc. paid taxable dividends of $15,000 during the year. It is the policy of the corporation to designate dividends as eligible only to the extent that a dividend refund will be available on their payment.
