OB 4: ICA payment of tax or transfer to account
or “Imputation credits for tax payments or transfers to a company's account”

You could also call this:

“ICA companies get credits for depositing money into tax pooling accounts”

When you’re an ICA company, you get an imputation credit when you give money to an intermediary who then puts it into a tax pooling account for you. This credit is listed in a table called “imputation credits” under the third row, which is about deposits in tax pooling accounts. The day the money goes into the account is when you get the credit.
