312.5. A taxpayer shall also include any amount received under an order of a competent tribunal as a reimbursement of an amount deducted under any of paragraphs a to b of subsection 1 of section 336, as it read for that preceding year, in computing the taxpayer’s income for a preceding taxation year, or that could have been so deducted were it not for section 334.1, as it read for that preceding year, or deducted under section 336.0.3 in computing the taxpayer’s income for the year or a preceding taxation year.
Despite the first paragraph, a taxpayer is not required to include, if the taxpayer so elects, the portion of the amount referred to in the first paragraph received by the taxpayer that relates to one or more of the taxpayer’s eligible taxation years that precede the taxation year 2003 and follow the taxation year 1997.
For the purposes of the second paragraph, “eligible taxation year” of a taxpayer means a taxation year throughout which the taxpayer was resident in Canada, other than a taxation year that ends in a calendar year in which the taxpayer became a bankrupt or a taxation year included, in whole or in part, in an averaging period determined in respect of the taxpayer for the purposes of Division II of Chapter II of Title I of Book V, as it read before being repealed.
