OE 10: BETA credit for loss of shareholder continuity

You could also call this:

“Discontinued tax credit for companies that lost shareholder continuity”

This part of the law used to be about a credit called BETA (Branch Equivalent Tax Account) that companies could get if they lost shareholder continuity. However, this rule no longer exists. The government removed it on 1 July 2012. This means that from that date, companies can’t use this credit anymore. If you want to know more about why this change happened or what it means for companies now, you might need to look at other parts of the tax laws.
