OP 11B: Consolidated ICA expenditure on research and development
or “This section about tax credits for group companies' research spending is no longer active”

You could also call this:

“Group tax credit for company's research and development”

When a company in a consolidated imputation group is entitled to a research and development tax credit, the group gets an imputation credit for that amount. This credit is listed in a special table that shows imputation credits for consolidated imputation groups. The credit is added on the day when the company in the group files its tax return for that income year.

You can think of this like a group of friends who all share their pocket money. If one friend earns extra money for doing a science project, the whole group gets to share that extra money. The group adds this money to their shared piggy bank on the day the friend tells the teacher about their project.
