OP 24: Consolidated ICA reversal of tax advantage arrangement
or “Fixing unfair tax credits for company groups sharing tax”

You could also call this:

“Tax credits for groups with Australian companies paying non-resident withholding tax”

When your group includes an Australian company that deals with taxes, you might get some extra tax credits. This happens when the Australian company earns money from outside New Zealand, and some tax is taken out of that money before it reaches the company. The amount of tax taken out becomes a credit for your group.

You can find this credit listed in a special table. It’s in table O19, which shows tax credits for groups like yours. Look for row 20, which talks about NRWT paid.

The date of this credit is important. It’s the same day that the tax was taken out of the money.
