whether the taxpayer had only one interest, or had 2 or more interests, in the FIF during the relevant period; and
(b)
if the taxpayer had 2 or more such interests
-
whether any of the interests form a group or groups within the meaning of subsection (4) or (5).

Subject to subsection (6), if the taxpayer had only one interest in a FIF during the relevant period, the procedure applies in respect of the interest and so applies as if the interest were a group.
544(3)
If the taxpayer had 2 or more interests in a FIF during the relevant period, the procedure:
(a)
applies separately in respect of each interest (if any) that is not included in a group and so applies as if each such interest were a separate group; and
(b)
if any of the interests form a group or groups
-
applies separately in respect of the group or each of the groups.
544(4)
Interests in a FIF which are of the same class and which the taxpayer had throughout the relevant period form a group.

Subject to subsection (6), interests in a FIF which are of the same class and which the taxpayer had throughout the same part of the relevant period form a group.

Any interest in a FIF that the taxpayer ceased to have before the end of the relevant period is to be disregarded.
