(2)

The expenses are treated for the purposes of section 76 as expenses payable which fall to be brought into account at Step 1 in section 76(7).

(3)

But if, in connection with the making of the contribution, the contributor or a connected person—

(a)

receives a disqualifying benefit of any kind, or

(b)

is entitled to receive such a benefit,

the amount treated in accordance with subsection (2) is restricted to the amount of the expenses less the value of the benefit.

from anyone else.

(a)

an amount has been brought into account in accordance with subsection (2), and

to which the charge to corporation tax on income applies.
