OP 28: Consolidated ICA payment of dividend

You could also call this:

“Consolidated group gets an imputation debit when paying dividends with attached credits”

When a company in a consolidated imputation group pays a dividend, the group gets an imputation debit. This debit is equal to the imputation credit attached to the dividend. You can find this debit listed in table O20, row 2, which shows imputation debits of consolidated imputation groups. The debit happens on the same day the dividend is paid.

Sometimes, section GB 38 might apply. This section can make an amount count as a debit under this rule. This happens when sections GB 35 to GB 37 apply to consolidated groups.
