the following provisions have effect:


(c) the taxpayer shall be treated as if he or she had, in the car records, specified, in respect of the car, the reduced percentage instead of the excessive percentage;


(d) if the taxpayer, in the taxpayer's car records for a subsequent year of income, specifies, or purports to specify, in respect of the car, the excessive percentage in accordance with the condition set out in sub-subparagraph 82KUC(b)(i)(B) or subparagraph 82KUC(b)(ii) - the taxpayer shall be treated as if he or she had, in the car records for that subsequent year of income, specified, in respect of the car, the reduced percentage instead of the excessive percentage.
