Introduction Overview Overview Section 504: Non-charitable expenditure in substantial donor transactions
1543.This section specifies that certain amounts relating to substantial donor transactions are to be treated as non-charitable expenditure. It is based on sections 506A(3) to (5) and 506C(2) and (6) of ICTA. The corresponding rule for income tax is in section 551 of ITA.
1544.The source legislation specifies that certain matters are to be determined by the Commissioners for HMRC. References to “the Commissioners for Her Majesty’s Revenue and Customs” are replaced with references to “an officer of Revenue and Customs”. See Change 5 in Annex 1, which also affects sections 507 and 510. The source legislation specifies that, on an appeal against an assessment, the tribunal may review a decision of the Commissioners, so section 510 specifies that the tribunal may affirm or replace a decision of an officer.
