EK 10: Certain refunds not income

You could also call this:

“Refunds from environmental restoration accounts are not taxable income”

When you receive a refund from your environmental restoration account, as described in [section EK 9], you don’t need to count it as income. This is because [section CX 52] specifically states that this type of refund is excluded income. This means you don’t have to pay tax on it or include it in your tax calculations.
