FM 32: Restriction on membership of consolidated groups
or “Companies can only be part of one consolidated tax group at a time”
You could also call this:

“What happens when a consolidated group loses members”

If you’re part of a consolidated group, it’s important to know what happens when the number of companies in the group changes. The group can still exist even if there’s only one company left in it. However, if at any point there are no companies in the group at all, then the consolidated group stops existing. This means that as long as there’s at least one company, your consolidated group will continue to be recognised.
