If a charitable company receives a gift from an individual and the gift is a donation for the purposes of Part 12 of ITEPA 2003 (payroll giving), the gift is treated as an amount in respect of which the charitable company is chargeable to corporation tax, under the charge to corporation tax on income.

But the gift is not taken into account in calculating total profits so far as it is applied to charitable purposes only.

The exemption under subsection (2) requires a claim.
