OB 35B: ICA debit for transfer from tax pooling account for policyholder base liability

You could also call this:

“Life insurer gets imputation debit for tax pooling transfer to pay policyholder income tax”

If you are an ICA company and also a life insurer, you might need to transfer money from a tax pooling account to your tax account with the Commissioner. This transfer can happen when you need to pay tax on income from your policyholder base or from a life fund PIE that is a multi-rate PIE. When you make this transfer, you get an imputation debit for the amount you moved.

This debit is listed in a special table called ‘table O2: imputation debits’. You can find it in row 7B, which is called ‘debit for transfer from tax pooling account for policyholder base liability’.

The date of this debit is always recorded as the last day of the tax year, no matter when you actually made the transfer.
