This is in reply to your letter of June 22 concerning the tax credit referred to in paragraph 3(b) of Article X of the Canada-U.K. Tax Convention.
In our opinion, a Canadian resident entitled to such a tax credit would be required to recognize it in income in the same year the dividend to which it relates is received. For purposes of section 126 of the Income Tax Act we would consider the United Kingdom tax in respect to the dividend to have been paid in the year the dividend is to be recognized as income. Our response would not differ if a taxpayer chose not to collect the tax credit due to him.
Your sincerely,
for Director Non-Corporate Rulings Division
