OP 42: Consolidated ICA debit for loss of shareholder continuity
or “Tax credit group records a debit when ownership changes significantly”
You could also call this:

“Tax debit for consolidated company groups not sharing tax credits fairly”

When a group of companies share their tax credits, they’re called a consolidated imputation group. This group can get a tax debit if one of the companies in the group doesn’t follow the rules about sharing tax credits fairly.

The amount of this tax debit is the same as what the company would have owed if it wasn’t part of the group. This rule helps make sure companies don’t avoid owing tax by being part of a group.

You can find information about this tax debit in two places. One is in a table about tax debits for consolidated imputation groups. The other is in a table about tax debits for individual companies.

The date when this tax debit is recorded is the last day of the tax year. This means the group has until the end of the year to make sure they’re following the rules about sharing tax credits fairly.
