OD 25: Refunds on transfers to CTR account
or “This rule about refunds for CTR account transfers no longer applies”
You could also call this:

“Rules for non-company New Zealand residents with branch equivalent tax accounts”

If you live in New Zealand and you’re not a company, you can choose to be a BETA person. This means you can have a branch equivalent tax account.

When you’re a BETA person, the rules about memorandum accounts in Sections OA 2 and OA 3 apply to you and your branch equivalent tax account. However, when these rules talk about a tax year, for you it means an income year instead.
