It includes both costs that cai) be allocated directly to such activities and those costs of an indirect nature necessary to support them. Taxatio The charity is CL)nsidered to pass the tests set out in Paragraph I Schedule 6 of the Finance Act 2010 and therefore it meets the defiiiition of a charitable company for UK corporation tax purposes. Accordingly, the chariry is potentially exempt from taxation in respect of income L)r capital gains received within categories covered by Chapter i Part I l of the Corporation Tax Act 201 O or Section 256 of the Taxation of Chargeable Gains Act 1992, to the extent that such income or gains are applied exclusively to chariiable purposes.
