| |
(2) Any money or other property which is transferred to a recognised third party for a consideration which is less than the value of the money or (as the case may be) the market value of the property shall be regarded as constituting a gift to the recognised third party.
|
| |
(3) Anything given or transferred to any officer, member or agent of a recognised third party in his capacity as such (and not for his own use and benefit) is to be regarded as given or transferred to the recognised third party (and references to donations received by a recognised third party accordingly include donations so given or transferred).

|
| |
(a) any reference to anything being given or transferred to a recognised third party includes a reference to its being given or transferred either directly or indirectly through any third person; |

| |
Payments etc not to be regarded as donations |

| |
(b) any interest accruing to a recognised third party in respect of any donation which is dealt with by the responsible person in accordance with section 49(2)(a) or (b) (as applied by paragraph 6). |

| |
Value of donations |
| | 4. - (1) The value of any donation falling within paragraph 2(1)(a) shall be taken to be the market value of the property in question.
|
| |
(2) Where, however, paragraph 2(1)(a) applies by virtue of paragraph 2(2), the value of the donation shall be taken to be the difference between-
|
| |
(a) the value of the money, or the market value of the property, in question, and |
| |
(b) the consideration provided by or on behalf of the recognised third party. |
| |
(3) The value of any donation falling within paragraph 2(1)(c) or (d) shall be taken to be the amount representing the difference between-
|
| |
(a) the actual cost (if any) to the recognised third party, and |
| |
(b) the cost that would have been incurred by the recognised third party had the loan been made, or the property, services or facilities been provided, on commercial terms. |
| |
(4) The value of any donation falling within paragraph 2(1)(e) shall be taken to be the value in monetary terms of the benefit conferred by the sponsorship in question on the donee; and any such value conferred on the sponsor shall be disregarded.
|
| |
(5) Where a donation such as is mentioned in sub-paragraph (3) or (4) confers an enduring benefit on the donee over a particular period, the value of the donation-
|
| |
(a) shall be determined at the time when it is made, but |
| |
(b) shall be so determined by reference to the total benefit accruing to the donee over that period. |
