There are specific rules about how to use an amount surrendered by a group member (CREC07200).ÌýÌý
If a company surrenders an amount to a group member and that group member is not able to use the full amount to discharge its own liabilities under the surrender rules, the amount not used is treated as if it had never been surrendered.Ìý
