You must disclose a specified transaction that you carried out (or that a partnership of which you are a member carried out, if you are a specified taxpayer or if the partnership is a specified partnership in respect of the transaction).

A transaction includes an arrangement, an event and a series of transactions.

A specified transaction is a transaction where the form and substance of the facts concerning the taxpayer or partnership are very similar to those of the facts of a transaction determined by the Minister and published in the Gazette officielle du Québec.

A specified taxpayer or specified partnership is a taxpayer or partnership determined by the Minister in respect of a determined transaction and published in the Gazette officielle du Québec.
