If the fund is a non-complying superannuation fund or a non-complying ADF, the fund is entitled to a non-refundable tax offset of franking credits that relate to franked dividends received (including franked non-share dividends and assessable franked dividends from a New Zealand franking company) against the income tax liability of the fund. Show the amount of the franking credits at C2 Rebates and tax offsets.

Do not show at E1 any credits that the fund is entitled to have applied against its 2014–15 tax liability. These credits are shown elsewhere, for example, at K PAYG instalments raised.
A dividend from a New Zealand franking company may also carry New Zealand imputation credits. An Australian resident cannot claim New Zealand imputation credits.
