RM 18: Limits on refunds related to foreign dividends
or “Rules about overseas dividend refunds for companies no longer apply”
You could also call this:

“Rules about financial arrangements in foreign dividends were removed in 2017”

This section of the law, called ‘Treatment of financial arrangements’, used to be part of the rules about companies receiving foreign dividends in the Income Tax Act 2007. However, you don’t need to worry about it anymore because it was removed from the law on 1 April 2017. The government decided it wasn’t needed and took it out of the Income Tax Act.
