OB 76: Statutory producer boards attaching FDP credits
or “Statutory producer boards can no longer attach FDP credits to dividends”
You could also call this:

“How and when a statutory producer board can choose to treat distributions”

You can make a choice about how to treat a distribution if you are part of a statutory producer board. You can make this choice using the rules in sections OB 73, OB 74, or OB 76. You have to make your choice after the income year when the distribution happened, but no later than 6 months after that income year ends.

When you make your choice, you need to tell the Commissioner about it. You must do this by the time you have to file your tax return for the year the distribution was made.
