Although its mismatch with interest deductibility has been a long-standing problem, the "exempt surplus" rule in itself is a key competitive advantage of the Canadian tax system. The rule allows a Canadian company to earn business income through a foreign affiliate in any tax-treaty country, and bring that income back to Canada, with no Canadian tax. 1, record 1, English, - exempt%20surplus%20rule

Bien que la discordance concernant la déductibilité des intérêts constitue un problème de longue date, la règle du «surplus exonéré» représente en fait un avantage concurrentiel clé du régime fiscal canadien. Elle permet à une société canadienne de gagner un revenu d’entreprise par l'intermédiaire d’une société étrangère affiliée située dans un pays avec lequel le Canada a signé une convention fiscale, et de rapatrier ce revenu au Canada sans payer l'impôt canadien. 1, record 1, French, - r%C3%A8gle%20du%20surplus%20exon%C3%A9r%C3%A9

The Canadian Book Exchange Centre (CBEC) helps Canadian libraries help each other. A resource-sharing service provided by Library and Archives Canada, CBEC is a redistribution centre, a clearing house that arranges for the exchange of publications deemed surplus by one library but needed by another. The Centre ensures that the nation's collective surplus holdings are accessible to all, keeps material in circulation and provides an efficient, practical method of using libraries' excess materials to help fill each other's collection requirements. Currently, the publications made available by the Centre are free of charge, but participating libraries must pay shipping charges whether they send or receive materials. 1, record 2, English, - Canadian%20Book%20Exchange%20Centre
