OK 8: MACA resident withholding tax withheld
or “Credit for tax withheld from passive income received by Māori authorities”
You could also call this:

“Correction of wrongly credited tax for Māori authorities”

This section talks about what happens when someone finds out that a Maori authority wrongly got a credit in their account because of a plan to avoid paying taxes. If this happens, the Maori authority gets a credit that’s the same as the amount they had to pay back when the mistake was found out. This credit is listed in a special table called O17, and the amount they had to pay back is listed in another table called O18. The date of the credit is the same as the date when they had to pay the money back. You can find more information about paying the money back in section OK 17.
