19. Paragraph 148(2)(a) applies when a policyholder is entitled to receive a policy dividend. It deems the policyholder to have disposed of an interest in the policy for proceeds equal to the amount of such a dividend. However, when the policy dividend is received or receivable in taxation years commencing after December 20, 1991, any part of the dividend that is automatically used to pay a premium under the policy or to repay a policy loan under the policy, as provided for under the terms and conditions of the policy, is not included in the proceeds of the disposition. If the total of policy dividends that a policyholder is entitled to receive in a year exceeds the ACB of the policy, the policyholder has to include that excess amount in income for that year.
