OD 20: CTR credits attached to dividends
or “Rules about tax credits on dividends from overseas companies have been removed”

You could also call this:

“Rules about certain dividends no longer apply since 2011”

This section of the law, called ‘CTRA benchmark dividend rules’, used to be part of the Income Tax Act 2007. However, it no longer applies. The government removed this rule on 7 May 2012. The change started to affect people’s taxes from 1 July 2011. This means that if you’re looking at your taxes for any year starting on or after 1 July 2011, you don’t need to worry about this rule anymore. It’s not part of the law that you need to follow now.
