OC 27: FDP credits attached to dividends
or “Old rules about foreign dividend payment credits on dividends no longer apply”
You could also call this:

“Rules for certain dividend payments no longer apply”

This part of the law used to have rules about something called ‘FDPA benchmark dividend rules’. These rules were part of the ‘Memorandum accounts’ section in the Income Tax Act 2007. However, as of 1 April 2017, these rules no longer exist. They were removed from the law by another act called the Taxation (Annual Rates for 2016–17, Closely Held Companies, and Remedial Matters) Act 2017.
