OB 8: ICA resident withholding tax withheld

You could also call this:

“Company receives credit for dividends with attached imputation credits”

When you own a company that uses an imputation credit account (ICA), you get an imputation credit when someone pays you a dividend that has an imputation credit attached to it. The amount of the credit is the same as the imputation credit that comes with the dividend. This credit is listed in a special table called ‘O1: imputation credits’ under row 7, which is called ‘dividend derived with imputation credit’. You receive this credit on the same day that you get paid the dividend.
