Capital gains and excluded shares

The CRA believes that taxable capital gains are “income” for the purposes of paragraph (c) of the “excluded shares” definition in the TOSI rules. The CRA also states that the gains in question should be computed on a gross basis, without deducting allowable capital losses.
