OB 23B: ICA transfer from consolidated imputation group to departing member for unused tax payment
or “Transfer of unused tax credits when leaving a group”
You could also call this:

“Tax credit for companies combining in a special way”

When companies join together in a special way called a resident’s restricted amalgamation, an ICA company can get an imputation credit. This credit appears in the imputation credit account of the new, combined company.

The credit can come from two places:

  1. From the imputation credit account of one of the companies that joined together. This is explained in section OA 10.

  2. From the imputation credit account of a group of companies that was working together before they joined up. This group stops existing when the companies join together. This is explained in section OA 14.

These credits are listed in a special table called ‘table O1: imputation credits’. You can find them in row 22, which is called ‘credit on resident’s restricted amalgamation’.
