OP 38: Consolidated ICA transfer for net foreign attributed income
or “Removed rule about consolidated imputation group transfers for overseas income”

You could also call this:

“Company in a tax credit-sharing group loses credits for replacement payments made in share-lending deals”

When you’re part of a group of companies that share tax credits, you need to know about something called a replacement payment. This happens when your company borrows shares from someone else and pays them money instead of dividends. If your company adds a tax credit to this payment, your group will lose that same amount of tax credit.

The amount you lose is based on how much tax credit was added to the replacement payment. This rule is listed in a special table that shows all the ways your group can lose tax credits.

The day you make the replacement payment is when your group loses the tax credit. This is important to remember for your group’s tax records.

Remember, this only applies if your company is part of the group when it makes the replacement payment. If you want to know more about how replacement payments work, you can look at section OB 64.
