Madison Pacific Properties Inc. announces Federal Court of Appeal judgement on tax reassessments appeal
January 27 2025 - 8:03PM
Madison Pacific Properties Inc. (the Parent Company) (TSX: MPC and
MPC.C), a Vancouver-based real estate company announces judgement
issued by the Federal Court of Appeal (“FCA”) on its tax
reassessments appeal.
As previously reported in the Parent Company’s
Consolidated Financial Statements and MD&A, the Parent Company
and certain subsidiaries had received from the Canada Revenue
Agency (“CRA”) and Alberta Tax and Revenue Administration (“ATRA”)
tax notices of reassessment for various taxation years. The
reassessments denied the application and usage of certain
non-capital losses, capital losses, deductions and investment tax
credits arising from prior years. The Parent Company and its
subsidiaries had filed notices of objection and notices of appeal
to the reassessments with the CRA and ATRA.
The appeal with the Tax Court of Canada (“TCC”)
for the Parent Company was heard in 2020, 2022 and in 2023 (the
“Appeal”). The TCC released its judgement on the Appeal in December
2023 in favour of the CRA’s position, confirming the CRA’s
reassessments. The decision denied the Parent Company’s ability to
use certain carryforward losses for certain taxation years within
its 2009 to 2017 taxation years. Additional taxes payable for the
reassessed years plus estimated interest and awarded legal costs
totals approximately $6.6 million and as at August 31, 2024, the
Parent Company had paid $6.1 million to the CRA for the taxes and
estimated interest on the reassessments.
In January 2024, the Parent Company filed a
notice of appeal to the FCA to appeal the decision issued by the
TCC on the Appeal (the “TCC Appeal”). On January 22, 2025, the TCC
Appeal was heard by the FCA and on January 23, 2025 the FCA
released its judgement dismissing the TCC Appeal. The Parent
Company and its counsel are currently assessing whether to appeal
the decision issued by the FCA. The Parent Company has also filed
interest relief applications with the CRA to apply to waive arrears
interest paid on the reassessments.
For a review of the risks and uncertainties to
which the Parent Company is subject, see its most recently filed
annual and interim MD&A.
