Trans-Tasman imputation

The arrangement under which some New Zealand companies attach Australian franking credits to their dividends. Those Australian credits are recognised for Australian shareholders; New Zealand imputation credits, by contrast, are not claimable in Australia and are informational only in an Australian return.
