Memorandum accounts - Maori authority credit accounts (MACA)

OK 18: MACA final balance

You could also call this:

“What happens to the remaining balance when a Māori authority closes its credit account”

When you’re a Maori authority and you have money in your Maori authority credit account, you need to know what happens if you stop being a Maori authority. If you have any money left in this account when you stop being a Maori authority, it’s called a ‘final balance’. This final balance becomes a debit in your account.

You can find information about this debit in a special table called ‘O18: Maori authority debits’. It’s listed in row 10 of that table under the name ‘final balance’.

The date of this debit is important. It’s the same day that you stop being a Maori authority. This is when the money in your credit account becomes a debit.
