Information and instructions
 
•  Unless otherwise stated, each legislative reference in this return is to the Income Tax Act.
•  Subsection 211.6(1) defines a qualifying environmental trust (QET) as a trust that is maintained for the sole purpose of funding the reclamation of a
qualifying site in Canada used primarily for one or more of the following: the operation of a mine, the extraction of clay, peat, sand, shale or
aggregates (including dimension stone and gravel), the deposit of waste, or if the trust was created after 2011, the operation of a pipeline, as long as
the other requirements defined in subsection 211.6(1) are met. Under the definition, the trust is, or may become, required to be maintained under
the terms of a qualifying contract or a qualifying law as these terms are defined in subsection 211.6(1). Certain conditions exist that may exclude a
trust from being a QET.
•  A QET is exempt from tax under Part I.
•  An Environmental Quality Act trust described by paragraph 149(1)(z.1) of the Act was created because of a requirement imposed by section 56 of
the Environment Quality Act. A Nuclear Fuel Waste Act trust described by paragraph 149(1)(z.2) of the Act was created because of a requirement
imposed by subsection 9(1) of the Nuclear Fuel Waste Act. These trusts are exempt from tax under Part XII.4.
•  With the exception of Quebec tax, use this return to calculate tax payable under the provincial income tax legislation that applies.
For a QET resident in Quebec, refer to the website of the Revenu Quebec.
•  Calculate the trust's income without considering subsections 104(4) to (31) and sections 105 to 107.
•  Any income or loss the trust earns or realizes in a taxation year is considered to also be earned or realized by the beneficiaries of the trust.
Beneficiaries are entitled to a refundable federal tax credit for their share of the Part XII.4 tax payable by the trust. If provincial tax is payable by the
trust to Alberta, British Columbia, Saskatchewan or Ontario, beneficiaries may also be entitled to a refundable provincial tax credit for their share of
the provincial tax payable by the trust.
•  In a letter or statement, report to the beneficiaries the income, losses, credits, or withdrawals. Specify, in each letter or statement, the refundable
provincial tax credit and the province to which it applies, the refundable federal tax credit, net capital losses, capital gains, non-capital losses, and
other income for each beneficiary.
•  The tax year of a QET is the calendar year.
