Share Purchase and Rollover Agreement

This agreement involves both a share purchase and rollover. In order to defer the tax implications related to the transfer of property in exchange for shares, the parties may elect to have subsection 85(1) of the Canada Income Tax Act and section 518 of the Quebec Taxation Act apply to the transaction. This type of transaction is particularly useful when forming a holding company for a taxpayer.

This transaction allows one to transfer admissible property (in this case, shares) in consideration of at least one share in the corporation and to benefit from a deferral of all or part of the tax implications. This transfer may trigger a taxable capital gain when the proceeds from disposing of the shares is higher than the cost of acquiring them. The taxation of such a gain can be problematic if the consideration received for the sale of such shares does not cover payment of the related tax bill.

A rollover allows the vendor and purchaser to determine an agreed amount for the purchased shares. This amount represents the proceeds from the sale of the property for the vendor, who is therefore able to set the sale price and determine the revenue it will generate. If the fixed amount is equal to the cost of acquiring the share, the full amount of the gain will be rolled over.

Share Purchase and Rollover Agreement

We recommend using this share purchase and rollover template to transfer shares between a taxpayer and a corporation that the latter controls, and when the proceeds from the sale of such shares is greater than the book value. By using a rollover agreement, the parties hope that the vendor will avoid being penalized for reorganizing its internal structure. As such, subject to certain conditions, the law allows you to defer payment of any such tax that is payable.
