Taxable amounts (13) There shall be included in computing the income of a taxpayer for a taxation year (a) if the taxpayer is a member of a PRPP, the total of all amounts each of which is a distribution made in the year from the member’s account under the PRPP, other than an amount that is (i) included in computing the income of another taxpayer for the year under paragraph (b), (ii) described in subsection (22), or (iii) distributed after the death of the member; (b) if the taxpayer is a participating employer in relation to a PRPP, the total of all amounts each of which is a return of contributions that is described in clause (3)(d)(ii)(A) and that is made to the taxpayer in the year. Treatment on death — no successor member (14) If a member of a PRPP dies and there is no successor member in respect of the deceased member’s account under the PRPP, an amount, equal to the amount by which the fair market value of all property held in connection with the account immediately before the death exceeds the total of all amounts distributed from the account that are described in subsection (16), is deemed to have been distributed from the account immediately before the death.
