(1)Sections 54 to 57 apply with the modifications in subsections (2) to (4) in relation to the disclosure of information to or by the principal regulator of an exempt charity.
(2)References in those sections to the Commission or to any of its functions are to be read as references to the principal regulator of an exempt charity or to any of the functions of that body or person as principal regulator in relation to the charity.
(3)Section 55 has effect as if for subsections (1) and (2) there were substituted—
“(1)Revenue and Customs information may be disclosed under section 54(1) only if it relates to—
(a)the exempt charity in relation to which the principal regulator has functions as such, or
(b)a subsidiary undertaking of the exempt charity.
(2)In subsection (1)(b) “subsidiary undertaking of the exempt charity” means an undertaking (as defined by section 1161(1) of the Companies Act 2006) in relation to which—
