Part 1 of Schedule 6 introduces a new definition of “charity” for the purposes of the taxes listed in paragraph 7 of that Schedule (it also introduces new definitions of “charitable trust” and “charitable company” for the purposes of those taxes). A body of persons or trust that is established in the UK, another EU member State or a territory specified in regulations made by the Commissioners for Her Majesty’s Revenue and Customs falls within the new definitions if it is established for charitable purposes within the meaning of section 2 of the Charities Act 2011 (c. 25) and the other conditions described in paragraph 1 of Schedule 6 are fulfilled. Article 5 and 6 of this Order apply the new definition of “charity” for the purposes of the enactments relating to value added tax and capital gains tax to which the definition in the Charities Act 2011 applied before the coming into force of this Order. The new definition of “charity” has already been applied for the purposes of Chapter 2 of Part 8 of the Income Tax Act 2007 (gift aid) (see paragraph 34 of Schedule 6). See also the Finance Act 2010, Schedule 6, Part 2 (Commencement) Order 2012 No.736 (c.18) which applies the new definitions for the purposes of the other taxes listed in paragraph 7 of Schedule 6. It also applies the new definitions of “charitable trust” and “charitable company” for the purposes of the Taxation of Capital Gains Act 1992 (c.12). Article 7 amends the entry for “charity” in Schedule 4 to the Corporation Tax Act 2009 (c. 4) (index of defined expressions) to refer to paragraph 1 of Schedule 6 with effect from the times specified in article 4.
