3 (1) For the purposes of section 48(4) of the Finance Act 1965 (which excludes from franked investment income distributions which fall within any exemption from income tax having effect at the passing of that Act) the exemptions conferred by sections 439, 440, 447(1)(b) and 449 of the [1952 c. 10.] Income Tax Act 1952 (savings banks, friendly societies, trade unions, charities and certain scientific research associations), and the exemption conferred by section 6(2) of the [1954 c. 32.] Atomic Energy Authority Act 1954, shall be deemed to be exemptions which at the passing of the Finance Act 1965 extended to dividends on shares of companies resident in the United Kingdom.

(2) The said section 447(1)(b) of the Income Tax Act 1952 (which includes an exemption for charities which are not companies) shall apply to income tax accounted for under Schedule 12 to the Finance Act 1965 in respect of distributions charged under Schedule F as it applies to tax chargeable under Schedule D in respect of any yearly interest or other payment, and section 451 of the Income Tax Act 1952 (which extends that exemption to certain museums) shall have effect accordingly.
