CSPL · Political Party Finance: ending the big donor culture
R13-14
November 2011
Recommendation
On making a donation above the permissibility threshold donors should be asked to certify: • If an individual, that they are on a permitted electoral register and that the donation is their own money and does not breach the donation cap. • If a company, that they are carrying out business in the UK and have generated enough income from UK trading to cover the donation. If part of a group of companies, they should also certify that the donation would not breach the cap when added to donations from any other company within their group.
