OK 2: MACA payment of tax or transfer to account
or “How Māori authorities can get tax credits for paying or transferring tax”
You could also call this:

“Transferring excess tax between Māori authorities”

You can get a Maori authority credit when another Maori authority transfers excess tax to you. This can happen under section 173M of the Tax Administration Act 1994 or section RC 32(5)(b).

This credit is listed in a table called O17: Maori authority credits. It’s mentioned in rows 3, 3B, and 3C of that table.

The date you get this credit depends on when the transfer was requested. If the request was made in the same tax year as the transfer, or in the following year under certain conditions, the credit date is the day of the request. If these conditions aren’t met, the credit date is the day of the actual transfer.
