OK 9: MACA reversal of tax advantage arrangement
or “Correction of wrongly credited tax for Māori authorities”

You could also call this:

“Māori authority distributions create equal debits for attached credits”

When a Maori authority gives out a distribution, they get a Maori authority debit. This debit is equal to the amount of Maori authority credit that’s attached to the distribution. You can find this debit listed in [table O18: Maori authority debits, row 2 (distribution)]. The date of the debit is the same day that the distribution is made.
