(c) for each resolution to which paragraph (b) applies, the dividends to which the resolution relates are to be paid on only some of the shares of the applicable class. 160AQG(2) [Resolution under which dividends paid]
Dividends that constitute a combined class of dividends shall be taken for the purposes of section 160AQF or 160AQFA to have been paid under the resolution under which the first of those dividends was paid and not under any other resolution.
This section does not apply in relation to a dividend paid by a company if the payment of the dividend gives rise to a franking debit of the company under section
