I can only assume it depends on the particulars of how these brands are owned, and that if it was easy to spin off a new brand to get credits, it would be commonplace.
This underlines the main failure of the credit, that it should have been a single pot of money available for the first x number of vehicles sold regardless of brand.
Of course, there should never have been a tax credit because this is an expensive and foolish way to reduce fossil fuel consumption.
