Total franking account balance at 30 per cent 18 (17)
The above amount represents the balance of the franking account as at 30 June, after taking into account adjustments for:
Franking credits that will arise from the payment of income tax payable for the current year
Franking credits that will arise from the receipt of dividends recognised as receivables at the year end
Franking credits that may be prevented from being distributed in subsequent years
The ability to utilise the franking credits is dependent upon there being suf cient available pro ts to declare dividends.
