OP 11C: Consolidated ICA credit for research and development tax credit
or “Group tax credit for company's research and development”
You could also call this:

“Using imputation credits from dividends in a consolidated group”

When a company that’s part of a consolidated imputation group gets a dividend, and that dividend comes with an imputation credit, the group gets to use that credit. This applies to all companies in the group, except for local authorities.

The credit the group gets is the same as the imputation credit that came with the dividend. You can find this listed in a special table called O19, which shows all the imputation credits for consolidated imputation groups. It’s in row 7 of that table.

The day the group gets to count this credit is the same day the dividend is paid out.
