(d)no purchaser enters into the transaction for the purpose of the avoidance of tax under this Part (whether by that purchaser or another person).

P1 is the proportion of the subject-matter of the transaction that is acquired by all the qualifying charities that are purchasers under the transaction (in aggregate);

(5)C's portion of the relief mentioned in sub-paragraph (1)(a), or an appropriate proportion of C's portion of that relief, is withdrawn and tax is chargeable in accordance with this paragraph.
(6)The amount chargeable is equal to C's portion of the relief or, as the case may be, the appropriate proportion of C's portion of the relief.
(7)C's portion of the relief depends on whether P1 or P2 was lower in the calculation under paragraph 3A(5).
(8)If P1 was lower, C's portion of the relief is equal to—

(d)C intends to hold the greater part of its undivided share of the subject-matter of the transaction for qualifying charitable purposes.
(2)In such a case—
(a)paragraph 3A has effect as if C were a qualifying charity, but
(b)for the purposes of paragraph 3B (withdrawal of relief under paragraph 3A) “disqualifying event” includes any additional disqualifying transaction.
(3)The following are “additional disqualifying transactions” if they are not made in furtherance of the charitable purposes of C—
(a)any transfer by C of a major interest in the whole or any part of the chargeable interest acquired by C under the relevant transaction;
(b)any grant by C at a premium of a low-rental lease of the whole or any part of that chargeable interest.
(4)Paragraph 3(3) (meaning of “at a premium” and “low-rental”) applies for the purposes of sub-paragraph (3)(b) as it applies for the purposes of paragraph 3(2)(b)(ii).
