5(1)The following applies for the interpretation of paragraphs 3 and 4.
(2)A company is to be treated as giving money for political purposes if, directly or indirectly—
(a)it gives a donation or subscription to a political party of the United Kingdom or any part of it; or
(b)it gives a donation or subscription to a person who, to the company’s knowledge, is carrying on, or proposing to carry on, any activities which can, at the time at which the donation or subscription was given, reasonably be regarded as likely to affect public support for such a political party as is mentioned above.
(3)Money given for charitable purposes to a person who, when it was given, was ordinarily resident outside the United Kingdom is to be left out of account.
(4)“Charitable purposes” means purposes which are exclusively charitable; and, as respects Scotland, “charitable” is to be construed as if it were contained in the Income Tax Acts.
