OB 57: ICA refund of NRWT
or “Australian ICA company must record NRWT refunds as imputation debits”

You could also call this:

“Refund of tax on scheduled payment to Australian company requires recording as imputation debit”

If you’re an Australian ICA company, you might get a refund for a schedular payment that you previously got an imputation credit for. When this happens, you need to record it as an imputation debit.

This debit is listed in a special table called “imputation debits” under row 31. The credit you got earlier is listed in another table called “imputation credits” under row 26.

You should record this debit on the same day you get the refund.

If you want to know more about the imputation credit you got earlier, you can check section OB 28.
