Amounts converted to functional currency

Carryforward

If you are carrying forward an amount from a Canadian currency year to a functional currency year, convert to functional currency using the exchange rate on the last day of the last Canadian currency year.

Note
The exchange rate to be used in converting the amounts is defined under subsection 261(1) of the Income Tax Act. Use the Bank of Canada noon rate, to 4 decimal places, of the particular day. If no such rate is quoted, use the rate from the closest preceding day for which a rate is quoted.

Carryback

If you are carrying back an amount from a reversionary year (Canadian currency) to a functional currency year, convert to functional currency using the exchange rate on the last day of the last functional currency year.
