OB 67: Reduction of further income tax
or “How ICA companies can reduce extra income tax owed”
You could also call this:

“Using income tax to pay off extra company tax”

If you are an ICA company and you owe further income tax, you can choose to pay it using regular income tax. To do this, you need to meet some conditions. You must pay the income tax after the end of the tax year when you got the debit balance. Also, you need to pay it for an income year when your company is an ICA company. When you pay the income tax this way, it counts as paying your further income tax. The government sees your further income tax as paid on the day they get your income tax payment.
