FM 26: Using tax losses to pay FDP
or “Tax losses can no longer be used to pay foreign dividend taxes”
You could also call this:

“This section about refunds of foreign dividend payments no longer applies”

You don’t need to know about this section of the law anymore. It was about refunds of FDP (Foreign Dividend Payment), which was part of how foreign dividends were treated in New Zealand’s tax system. However, this section was removed from the law on 1 April 2017. This means it no longer applies and you don’t need to follow any rules about FDP refunds.
