FN 9: Joining existing imputation group
or “How to join an existing group for tax credits”
You could also call this:

“How a company can stop being part of an imputation group”

You can stop being part of an imputation group in a few ways. First, you can choose to leave the group and tell the Commissioner about it. You can learn more about this in section FN 11.

Another way is if you no longer meet the rules for being in the group. These rules are explained in section FN 4. If this happens, you can find out what to do in section FN 12.

If you’re not the main company in the group (called the nominated company), you might have to leave if you’re not allowed to be in the same group as the nominated company anymore. You can also check section FN 12 for more information about this.

Lastly, if your imputation group doesn’t have a nominated company anymore, you’ll stop being part of the group. You can learn more about what happens in this case in section FN 13.
