7.19. Except as otherwise provided, no provision of this Act shall be read or construed(a) to require the inclusion or permit the deduction, either directly or indirectly, in computing a taxpayer’s income, taxable income or taxable income earned in Canada, for a taxation year or in computing a taxpayer’s income or loss for a taxation year from a source in Canada or from sources in another place, of any amount to the extent that the amount has already been directly or indirectly included or deducted, as the case may be, in computing such income, taxable income, taxable income earned in Canada or loss, for the year or any preceding taxation year;
(b) to permit the deduction, either directly or indirectly, in computing a taxpayer’s taxes payable under this Act for a taxation year of any amount to the extent that the amount has already been directly or indirectly deducted in computing such taxes payable for the year or any preceding taxation year; or
(c) to consider an amount to have been paid on account of a taxpayer’s taxes payable under this Act for a taxation year to the extent that the amount has already been considered to have been paid on account of such taxes payable for the year or any preceding taxation year.
Subparagraph a of the first paragraph does not apply to prevent a taxpayer from deducting, in computing the taxpayer’s income for a taxation year, an amount the taxpayer pays in the year as a reimbursement of an amount the taxpayer deducted in computing the taxpayer’s taxable income for a preceding taxation year.
