OP 47: Consolidated ICA final balance
or “Final balance owed when a consolidated tax credit group ends”

You could also call this:

“Repayment of non-resident withholding tax refund by consolidated group with Australian company”

When your group includes an Australian ICA company, you might have to pay back some money. This happens if you got a refund of NRWT (non-resident withholding tax) that you had previously counted as a credit. The amount you need to pay back is called an imputation debit.

You can find more information about this credit in section OP 25. The debit is listed in a special table called ‘imputation debits of consolidated imputation groups’ under row 22. The credit is in another table called ‘imputation credits of consolidated imputation groups’ under row 20.

The day you have to record this debit is the same day you get the refund.
