OP 41C: Consolidated ICA debit for unused tax payment of departing part of group
or “Debit for unused tax payment when part of group leaves”
You could also call this:

“Tax credit group records a debit when ownership changes significantly”

When a group of companies that share their tax credits (called a consolidated imputation group) loses shareholder continuity, they have to record a debit in their tax credit account. This debit is for the amount of unused tax credits they had at the time they lost shareholder continuity.

You can find this debit listed in a table that shows all the debits for consolidated imputation groups. It’s in row 16 of that table, and it’s called “debit for loss of shareholder continuity”.

The group has to record this debit at the exact moment when they lose shareholder continuity. This means when the ownership of the group changes enough that they no longer meet the rules for keeping their tax credits.
