I'm doing that anyway.

A number of years ago, when IPL.UN became IPL, we had the option to roll over taxes using section 85. I can't seem to find an online example of the use of section 85 for publicly traded unit trusts. Since the ACB we were assigned at the time was massively higer, the paper gain was quite huge. Now that the shares are well below that, how do I treat the ACB? Am I on the hook for the paper gain at the time? Same as with exercised options that later crash? Or do I use my original ACB to calculate gain or loss? Or the ACB assigned at the time of roll over?
