OB 56: ICA final balance
or “Recording the final credit balance when a company stops being an ICA company”
You could also call this:

“Australian ICA company must record NRWT refunds as imputation debits”

You need to know about a rule for Australian ICA companies. When an Australian ICA company gets a refund of NRWT (Non-Resident Withholding Tax), they must record it as an imputation debit. This is because the original NRWT payment was recorded as an imputation credit under section OB 27.

This imputation debit is listed in a special table called ‘table O2: imputation debits’ under row 30, which is about refunds of NRWT. The related imputation credit is listed in another table called ‘table O1: imputation credits’ under row 25, which is about NRWT that was withheld.

The company must record this debit on the same day they receive the refund.
