She paid $13,200 in tax in respect of 2010 and $12,900 in tax in respect of 2009.

Answer:

  1. (i)            October 1, 2011, i.e., six month after the date of death, in this case
    1. June 15, 2012
  1. Ms. JSK should pay quarterly instalments in 2011 as follows:

 

March 15:

¼ × $12,900

$3,225

June 15

¼ × $12,900

3,225

September 15

½ × ($13,200 − (2 × $3,225))

3,375

December 15

½ × ($13,200 − (2 × $3,225))

3,373

  1. (i)            RFL Inc. should pay the following instalments in its 2011 taxation year: August 31 and September 30, 2010

1/12 × $18,000                                                                    $1,500

Last day of each of October 2010 to July 2011

1/10 × ($24,000 – (2 × $1,500))                                       $2,100

 

    1. Where a small business deduction is claimed and taxable income for the preceding year was less than $500,000, the balance of tax in respect of the 2011 taxation year is due on October 31, 2011, i.e., three months after the taxation year-end.

 

    1. January 31, 2012, i.e., six months after the 2011 year-end.

 

  1. The deadline for a Notice of Objection to be filed by an individual is the later of:
  1. April 30, 2012, i.e., one year after the filing-due day of the tax return for the year, and
  1. August 1, 2011, i.e., 90 days after mailing the Notice of Assessment.
