OP 33: Consolidated ICA transfer within tax pooling account
or “Groups can transfer tax pool credits and must record it”

You could also call this:

“Tax pooling transfer for insurance-related taxes creates a group tax debit”

If you’re part of a consolidated imputation group, you need to know about a special kind of debit called an imputation debit. This happens when you move money from a tax pooling account to your tax account with the Commissioner. But it only counts as a debit for the amount that pays for your schedular income tax on schedular policyholder base income or your income tax for a life fund PIE that is a multi-rate PIE.

This debit is listed in a special table called “table O20: imputation debits of consolidated imputation groups”. You can find it in row 7B, which is called “debit for transfer from tax pooling account for policyholder base liability”.

It’s important to remember that this debit is recorded on the last day of the tax year. This means that even if you move the money earlier, the debit won’t show up until the end of the year.
