The note addresses application of the anti-avoidance rule for dividend-stripping, holding that the statutory phrase "dividend or income received or receivable" covers the entire dividend and is not confined to exempt portions; this suffices to prevent tax arbitrage by permitting loss set-off against partly taxed dividends.
