(a)specifying every gift of more than [F2£11,180] received by the association in the period—

(i)beginning at the start of the calendar year preceding the year in which the contribution date falls, and

or

(b)(if it is the case) stating that the association received no such gifts in the period mentioned in paragraph (a).

(i)beginning with the day after the contribution date, and

(ii)ending with the end of the quarter,

or

(b)(if it is the case) stating that the association received no such gifts in the period mentioned in paragraph (a).

(4)In relation to each subsequent quarter ending in the calendar year in which the contribution date falls or in the following calendar year, the unincorporated association must within the period of 30 days following the end of the quarter make a report to the Commission—

(5)Where—

(a)an unincorporated association receives two or more gifts of more than £500 from the same person in the same calendar year, and

(b)those gifts amount to more than [F5£11,180] in total,

the association is treated for the purposes of this paragraph as receiving a gift of more than [F5£11,180] on the day on which it receives the gift that takes the total amount of gifts from that person in that year above [F5£11,180].

(6)Where—

(a)an unincorporated association receives (or is treated by sub-paragraph (5) as receiving) a gift of more than [F6£11,180] from a particular person, and

(b)later in the same calendar year the association receives a gift of more than [F7£2,230] from the same person,

that subsequent gift is treated for the purposes of this paragraph in the same way as a gift of more than [F6£11,180].

(7)A reference in this paragraph to a gift of more than a certain amount is to be read, in the case of a gift in a form other than money, as a reference to a gift with a value of more than that amount.

(8)Nothing in this paragraph requires an unincorporated association to report to the Commission—

(a)any gift that it has already reported to them under this paragraph, or

(b)in the case of an association that at the relevant time was a members association within the meaning of Schedule 7, any gift that it is required to report to them under Part 3 of that Schedule.]
