RM 13: Limits on refunds for ICA companies
or “Rules for tax refunds and transfers for imputation credit account companies”
You could also call this:

“Rules for refunds and transfers when a company is no longer an ICA company”

When a company stops being an ICA company, there are limits on how much money they can get back or move around. If you were an ICA company during a tax year and you’re allowed to get a refund or transfer money under [section RM 13(1)], there’s a rule you need to follow. The total amount you can get back or transfer can’t be more than the final balance of your imputation credit account. This final balance is shown as a debit in [section OB 56], which is recorded just before you stop being an ICA company.
