OB 65: Further income tax for ICA closing debit balance
or “Extra tax payable for negative balance in company's imputation credit account”
You could also call this:

“Extra tax for companies ending their ICA status”

If you’re an ICA company, you need to pay extra income tax when you stop being one. This happens if your imputation credit account has a debit balance when you stop being an ICA company.

You have to pay this extra tax to the Commissioner by the day you stop being an ICA company. But if you stop being an ICA company because you become a portfolio investment entity, you have until the end of the tax year to pay.

If you stop being an ICA company on the last day of the tax year, you have to pay the extra tax under this rule, not under section OB 65.
