OB 48: ICA credit balance when Maori authority credit account starts
or “Transferring remaining balance when a company becomes a Māori authority”

You could also call this:

“Company records debit when paying replacement for borrowed shares”

When a company pays a replacement payment under a share-lending arrangement, it has to record a debit in its imputation credit account. This debit is for the same amount as the imputation credit that was attached to the replacement payment. The company records this debit on the day it makes the replacement payment.

If you want to find this debit in the company’s records, you can look at table O2, which lists imputation debits. You’ll find it in row 22, under the heading “replacement payment under share-lending arrangement”.

This rule is part of the section OB 64 of the law, which talks about imputation credits and share-lending arrangements.
