SBD limit assignment headaches

A CCPC might want to assign a portion of is small business deduction limit to another corporation because of the specified corporate income rules. The assignment will be problematic, however, if the assignor’s year-end occurs before that of the assignee. The assignor will not know the amount of the income earned by it from the assignee, and so the assignor will not know how much limit to assign. An excessive assignment might invalidate it. (Will an assignment be invalidated if a reassessment of the assignee reduces the income earned from the assignor?) Will amending returns help? Perhaps, but it will be a compliance nuisance.
