EK 12: Refund if application or excess balance
or “Getting money back from your environmental restoration account”
You could also call this:

“Refunds from environmental restoration accounts are counted as income”

If you get a refund from your environmental restoration account, you need to count it as income. This happens in the same year that you receive the refund. The amount you count as income is determined by section CB 28. You get this refund when you apply for it under section EK 12. This rule is part of how the government keeps track of money for environmental restoration work.
