RM 22: Limits on refunds for Maori authorities
or “Rules for tax refunds to Māori authorities”
You could also call this:

“Refund limits for organisations no longer classified as Maori authorities”

When a Maori authority stops being a Maori authority, there are limits on the refunds it can get. If you were a Maori authority and you’re entitled to a refund under section RM 2, RM 4, or RM 5 for a tax year when you had a Maori authority credit account, you need to know about these limits.

The amount of money you can get back is restricted. You can’t get more money refunded than the final balance of your Maori authority credit account. This final balance is calculated as a debit under section OK 18 just before you stopped being a Maori authority.
