OB 47B: Tax paid by recipients of R&D loss tax credits
or “Tax repayment for companies receiving R&D loss tax credits”

You could also call this:

“Transferring remaining balance when a company becomes a Māori authority”

When a company that has an imputation credit account (ICA) becomes a Maori authority, something special happens. If there’s any money left in the company’s imputation credit account, it gets taken out. This is called an imputation debit.

The day this happens is the day before the company officially becomes a Maori authority. It’s like the company is clearing out its old account before starting fresh as a Maori authority.

You can find this rule listed in a special table. It’s called “table O2: imputation debits” and it’s in row 21. The table calls it a “credit balance when Maori authority credit account starts”.
