754.This section gives the meaning of qualifying charitable donations. It is based on sections 338A(1) to (3) and 339(1) of ICTA.
755.Subsection (2) rewrites both section 338A(3) and section 339(1)(b) of ICTA. These two subsections cover the same ground.
756.A similar rule is found in section 337A(1)(b) of ICTA which provides that a company’s income from any source is to be computed without any deduction in respect of charges on income.
