(13) For the purposes of subparagraph (ii) of paragraph 128.1(1)(d) of the Act, the prescribed amount is the amount determined by the formula

- Z
- is the amount determined by the formula
[(G – H) × (J – 1)] + K
where
- G
- is the amount determined by the formula
L + M
where
- L
- is the underlying foreign tax of the affiliate in respect of the other taxpayer at the end of the year, and
- M

(ii) the portion of subsection 5907(14) of the Regulations before paragraph (a), as enacted by subsection (44), is to be read as follows:
(14) For the purposes of the description of C in the description of X in subsection (13), the amount by which the underlying foreign tax of the affiliate in respect of the taxpayer at the end of the year would have increased, if a disposition (referred to in this subsection as the “notional actual disposition”) deemed under paragraph 128.1(1)(b) of the Act of any property by the affiliate had been an actual disposition of the property by the affiliate, is the total of all amounts each of which is the amount, if any, by which
