EH 66: Interest on deposits in thinning operations income equalisation account
or “Interest earned on a special forestry savings account”
You could also call this:

“How you can reduce your tax by depositing money into the thinning operations income equalisation scheme”

When you’re allowed a deduction under section DQ 3 for the thinning operations income equalisation scheme, you can take off some money from your taxes. The amount you can take off is the smaller of two things: either all the money you put into the scheme for the year, or the most you’re allowed to put in for the year. You get to use this deduction in the same year you put the money in.
