OP 7: Consolidated ICA payment of tax
or “Groups sharing tax credits: when paying tax results in a credit”
You could also call this:

“Consolidated groups can get tax credits for deposits into shared tax savings accounts”

When you’re part of a consolidated imputation group, you can get an imputation credit for money that you give to someone else (called an intermediary) to put into a tax pooling account. This is like putting money into a special savings account for your taxes.

The amount of the credit is the same as the amount of money you put into the account. You can find this credit listed in a special table called “imputation credits of consolidated imputation groups”. It’s in row 3 of that table, under the heading “deposit in tax pooling account”.

The day you get the credit is the same day that the money goes into the tax pooling account. So, if you put the money in on Monday, you get the credit on Monday too.
