Work out the tax on a disposition of qualified farm or fishing property, on a sale or on death, including the capital gains deduction and any AMT, then turn it into a client-ready letter, not just a number on screen.
The calculation is only half the work. CodaraFlow finishes the explanation, the tables, and the client-ready letter.
A farm or fishing disposition carries more components and more reliefs than any other: land, buildings, quota, inventory, the farmhouse, rollovers that differ per asset, the deduction and minimum tax. The hours go into getting each treatment right and into the review that checks it.
Rollover, farmhouse residence, inventory as ordinary income and recapture are applied to each component as it is entered, so what makes the file hard is the client’s circumstances rather than the mechanics.
The gain divides before any relief, so each owner’s deduction and minimum tax are worked on their own share without a parallel calculation to build and reconcile.
Each claim is capped at the taxable portion of that owner’s qualifying gain, so the reviewer is not the control that has to catch it.
Where proceeds arrive over time the schedule runs the full term, with each year’s minimum tax alongside it.
The disposition is written into an advisory letter assembled from the firm’s reviewed sections.
This is one of the built-in calculations in CodaraFlow. Enter the farm or fishing property, on a sale or on death, and it computes the gain component by component, applies the rollovers and the capital gains deduction where the statutory conditions are met, divides the result between the owners, and estimates the tax.
The number is not the deliverable. In CodaraFlow the result drops straight into a letter section: the firm’s approved wording, the computation tables, and the statutory notes that actually apply to this client, written in for you. Exported as an editable Word document on your letterhead.
The same reviewed explanation, not whatever the preparer types today.
The rollover, residence, recapture and AMT notes appear only when the file triggers them.
The disposition computation is laid out and footed automatically.
Finish it in Word, on your firm’s letterhead. No proprietary format.
Each part of the calculation ties to the section a reviewer would expect. The wording is firm-editable; the sections are fixed by the Act.
On death the property is deemed disposed at fair market value, except to the extent a rollover applies.
Property to a spouse or spousal trust rolls over at cost, deferring the gain until the spouse later disposes of it.
Qualified farm or fishing property to a child or grandchild may transfer at an elected amount where the statutory conditions are met, deferring the gain.
Gains on qualified farm or fishing property are eligible for the lifetime capital gains deduction. You enter the deduction claimed on Form T657, and the calculator holds it to what the qualifying gain supports.
The farmhouse gain may be sheltered by the principal residence exemption, or reduced under the special farm-residence method.
Capital cost allowance on depreciable property is recaptured as income, taxed in full and not sheltered by the deduction.
Claiming the deduction may trigger AMT: the whole gain counts toward the minimum tax base while only part of the deduction survives it. Potentially recoverable against future regular tax over the following seven years, subject to the statutory recovery rules.
The estimated tax includes alternative minimum tax for an individual and reflects the other income and deductions entered for each owner. Where the firm’s rates are set as graduated brackets it applies the basic personal amount and any provincial surtax; where they are set as a top marginal rate it applies that rate throughout. It remains an estimate: it carries no personal credits beyond the basic personal amount, and excludes the OAS clawback. Inventory such as crops, market livestock and supplies is not capital property and is taxed as ordinary farming income.
