FM 28: Refund when consolidated group has loss
or “Refunds for losses in consolidated groups (no longer applicable)”

You could also call this:

“How a group of companies used to handle foreign dividend payments (no longer applies)”

This part of the law used to talk about how to handle money in a special account for a group of companies. The account was called an FDP account, which stands for foreign dividend payment. However, this rule doesn’t apply anymore. The government removed it on 1 April 2017. If you want to know more about why this changed, you can look at another part of the law that explains it.
