Meaning of foreign income tax deduction

  (1)   An amount of a loss or outgoing is a foreign income tax deduction in a foreign country in a * foreign tax period to which an entity is entitled, if the entity is entitled to deduct the amount in working out its tax base for the foreign tax period under a law of the foreign country dealing with * foreign income tax (except a tax covered by subsection   832 - 130(7)).

  (a)   any provisions of * foreign hybrid mismatch rules of a foreign country;

  (b)   any provisions of another law of a foreign country relating to * foreign income tax (except a tax covered by subsection   832 - 130(7)) that has substantially the same effect as foreign hybrid mismatch rules.
