308.1. Despite any other provision of this Part, where a corporation resident in Canada (in this section and sections 308.2 to 308.2.0.2 referred to as the “dividend recipient”) receives a taxable dividend described in section 308.2 in respect of which it is entitled to a deduction under any of sections 738, 740 and 845, the amount of that dividend, other than the prescribed portion of it, is deemed(a) not to be a dividend received by the dividend recipient;
(b) where the dividend is received on a redemption, acquisition or cancellation of a share, by the corporation that issued the share, under section 508 to the extent that it refers to a dividend deemed paid under section 505 or 506, to be proceeds of disposition of that share to the extent that the amount is not otherwise included in computing those proceeds; and
(c) where paragraph b does not apply in respect of a dividend, to be a gain of the dividend recipient from the disposition of a capital property for the year in which the dividend was received.
