OB 24: ICA credit on resident’s restricted amalgamation
or “Tax credit for companies combining in a special way”
You could also call this:

“Fixing an incorrect tax advantage in your imputation credit account”

If you’re an ICA company, this is about fixing a mistake in your imputation credit account. Sometimes, people might try to get a tax advantage they shouldn’t have. If this happens with your company’s imputation credits, and it’s found out, you need to correct it.

When this happens, you get an imputation credit in your account. This credit is the same amount as the debit that was put in your account under section OB 54. This is to balance things out and make sure everything is fair.

In the official records, this credit is listed in a special table called “table O1: imputation credits”. It’s in row 23, which is called “reversal of tax advantage arrangement”. The debit that it’s fixing is listed in another table called “table O2: imputation debits”. You can find that in row 27, which is called “tax advantage arrangement”.

The date of this new credit is the same as the date of the debit that was put in under section OB 54. This helps keep everything lined up properly in your accounts.
