FN 2: Imputation rules
or “Rules for how companies share tax credits with shareholders”
You could also call this:

“Companies in a tax credit sharing group are jointly responsible for group tax debts”

If you’re part of a group of companies that share tax credits, you need to know something important. You and all the other companies in your group are responsible for paying extra taxes, fines, and interest if there are problems with the group’s tax credit account. This means if the group owes money because of how the tax credits were used, you might have to help pay it back. The rules for this are in Part 7 of the Tax Administration Act 1994.
