A.D. 1947]
INLAND REVenue.
(2) The amount of the tax chargeable in respect of the income shall be reduced by the amount of the credit:
Provided that credit shall not be allowed against tax for any year of assessment unless the person entitled to the income is resident in the Colony for that year.
(3) The credit shall not exceed the amount which would be produced by computing the amount of the income in accordance with the provisions of this Ordinance and then charging it to tax at a rate ascertained by dividing the tax chargeable (before allowance of credit under any arrangements having effect under Section 50) on the total income of the person entitled to the income by the amount of his total income.
(4) Without prejudice to the provisions of the preceding subsection, the total credit to be allowed to a person for any year of assessment for foreign tax under all arrangements having effect under Section 50 shall not exceed the total tax payable by him for that year of assessment, less any tax payable by him under the provisions of Section 30.
(5) In computing the amount of the income-
(a) no deduction shall be allowed in respect of foreign tax (whether in respect of the same or any other income);
(b) where the tax chargeable depends on the amount received in the Colony, the said amount shall be increased by the appropriate amount of the foreign tax in respect of the income;
(c) where the income includes a dividend and under the arrangements foreign tax not chargeable directly or by deduc- tion in respect of dividend is to be taken into account in considering whether any, and if so what, credit is to be given against tax in respect of the dividend the amount of the income shall be increased by the amount of the foreign tax not so chargeable which falls to be taken into account in computing the amount of the credit;
but notwithstanding anything in the preceding provisions of this subsection a deduction shall be allowed of any amount by which the foreign tax in respect of the income exceeds the credit therefor.
