PRODUCING A COMBINED FORM FOR A VERTICAL AND HORIZONTAL SYNDICATE
In certain cases, the horizontal syndicate is taking care of some eligible expenses (ex : snow removal for the parking area managed by the horizontal). In such cases, even though the contribution to the horizontal is included in the calculation of the vertical's total charges, some minor adjustments are required to include the horizontal's expenses to the calculation of the tax credit.
In order to include the horizontal's expenses to the form produced in the vertical syndicate, the data must be extracted from the horizontal syndicate, divided between the phases according to their shares in the vertical, and then add the total of the horizontal's eligible expenses to the vertical's calculation sheet.
1) Download the Excel document in the horizontal's portal.
2) In Section 3 of the Excel document, calculate the total of the eligible charges in the horizontal, and then divide divide that total between the different phases according to their shares in the horizontal.
3) In the vertical's calculation sheet, add the total to be attributed to that syndicate in one of the lines. The sum of the eligible expenses from both vertical and horizontal syndicates will then be included in one form.
