(2) In this article, a “not-for-profit body” means a body which, by virtue of its constitution or any enactment—
(a)is required (after payment of outgoings) to apply the whole of its income and any capital it expends for charitable or public purposes, and
(b)is prohibited from directly or indirectly distributing amongst its members any part of its assets (otherwise than for charitable or public purposes).
(3) For the purposes of this article, it is the effect of the group licence that matters, not how the activities for which a licence is given are described.
