RM 26: Treatment of further income tax paid
or “How extra tax paid by Māori authorities is treated for refunds”

You could also call this:

“How Maori authorities handle tax payments without credits”

If you’re part of a Maori authority, there are special rules about tax credits. Sections RM 22 to RM 26 talk about these credits. But sometimes, you might pay tax and not get a credit for it. This can happen when section OK 2 doesn’t give you a credit. Section OK 2 is about MACA payment of tax or transfer to account. When this happens, the rules in sections RM 22 to RM 26 don’t apply to that tax payment. This means you can’t use those sections to get a refund or do anything else with that tax payment.
