Example 13
A taxpayer provides core banking system software valued at $100 million to an international related party located in the United States. For the purposes of this example, assume the core banking system software forms part of the taxpayer's capital assets. The taxpayer does not charge the international related party for the software. This would meet the criteria of an international related party dealing involving no payment that was capital in nature.
End of example
Example 14
A taxpayer purchases a derivative portfolio for $20 million from an international related party located in the United Kingdom. For the purposes of this example, assume the portfolio forms part of the taxpayer's ordinary revenue assets. If, rather than paying for the portfolio with a monetary payment (for example, $20 million funds transfer to the related party), the decision was made to satisfy the amount payable under the purchase by any of the following:
- forgiving royalties that would otherwise be payable by the international related party
- transferring title in a fixed asset
- agreeing to a discount on specified future transactions.
Therefore, this would meet the criteria of an international related party dealing involving a non-monetary payment that was revenue in nature.
