OB 19B: ICA transfer to loss-using group company
or “Transfer of imputation credits to a company using another company's tax losses”

You could also call this:

“Imputation credit for distributions with Māori authority credits”

When you get a distribution from a Maori authority, it might come with a Maori authority credit. If you’re an ICA company and you receive this kind of distribution, you get an imputation credit. The amount of this imputation credit is the same as the Maori authority credit that came with the distribution.

This imputation credit is listed in a special table called “table O1: imputation credits”. You can find it in row 18 of that table, which is called “distribution with Maori authority credit”.

The day you actually get paid the distribution is important. That’s the date when the credit is added to your account.
