EXPLANATORY NOTE

(This note is not part of the Regulations)

Sections 506A to 506C of the Income and Corporation Taxes Act 1988 (for corporation tax) and sections 549 to 557 of the Income Tax Act 2007 (for income tax) introduced legislation taxing specified transactions between charities and substantial donors to those charities. A -�substantial donor-� is a person who has made tax-relievable gifts to the charity of at least £25,000 in a period of 12 months or £100,000 in a period of 6 years. These Regulations increase that 6 year threshold to £150,000.

Regulation 1 provides for citation and commencement (and for the increase to take effect from the day after Budget Day 2009) and regulation 2 for the increase in the threshold.

A Regulatory Impact Assessment has not been prepared for this instrument as it is considered to have a negligible impact on business, charities or voluntary bodies.
