(1.7) If the amount prescribed under paragraph (1.3)(a) or (b), or any portion of the amount, can reasonably be considered to be in respect of a capital loss of another corporation for a taxation year of the other corporation, then the amount so prescribed, as reduced by subsection (1.4), if applicable, shall be reduced to the extent that it can reasonably be considered to be in respect of the portion of that capital loss that would not be deductible by the particular affiliate in computing its foreign accrual property income for the year if the capital loss had been incurred by the particular affiliate.

(c) any loss of the affiliate referred to in the description of D in the definition foreign accrual property income in subsection 95(1) of the Act so deducted,

(i) is not otherwise required to be included in computing the earnings amount of the affiliate for any taxation year by the income tax law that is relevant in computing that amount, and
(ii) subject to subsection (2.01), does not arise with respect to a disposition (other than a disposition to which subsection (9) applies), of property by the affiliate,

and there shall be deducted such portion of the following amounts as were included or were not deducted, as the case may be, in computing the earnings amount,
(g) any income or profits tax refunded by the government of a country to the affiliate so included;

(i) such loss, outlay or expense is not otherwise permitted to be deducted in computing the earnings amount of the affiliate for any taxation year by the income tax law that is relevant in computing that amount, or
(ii) such outlay or expense can reasonably be regarded as applicable to any revenue added to the earnings amount of the affiliate under paragraph (f),
where such loss, outlay or expense
(iii) subject to subsection (2.01), does not arise with respect to a disposition (other than a disposition to which subsection (9) applies), of property by the affiliate,
(A) to a person or partnership that was, at the time of the disposition, a designated person or partnership in respect of the taxpayer, and
(B) to which a loss deferral or similar loss postponement provision of the income tax laws that are relevant in computing the earnings amount of the affiliate applied, and
(iv) is not

(C) income or profits tax paid to the government of a country;
(k) any outlay made in the year in repayment of an amount referred to in paragraph (f.1); and
(l) if any property of the affiliate that was acquired from a person or partnership that was, at the time of the acquisition, a designated person or partnership in respect of the taxpayer has been disposed of, the amount in respect of that property that may reasonably be considered as having been included under paragraph (f) in computing the earnings amount of any foreign affiliate of the taxpayer or of a person or partnership that was, at the time of the disposition, a designated person or partnership in respect of the taxpayer.
