C1Pt. 2 modified (1.4.2012) by Localism Act 2011 (c. 20), s. 240(2), Sch. 16 para. 69(2); S.I. 2012/628, art. 6(i) (with arts. 9 11 14 15 17)
(1)Each entry in the register shall designate the body registered as either—
(a)a non-profit organisation, or
(b)a profit-making organisation.
(2)A body is a non-profit organisation if it is a registered or non-registrable charity.
(3)A body is also a non-profit organisation if it satisfies the following conditions.
(4)Condition 1 is that the body—
(a)does not trade for profit, or
(b)is prohibited by its constitution from issuing capital with interest or dividend at a rate exceeding that prescribed under section 1(1)(b) of the Housing Associations Act 1985 (c. 69).
(5)Condition 2 is that a purpose of the body is the provision or management of housing.
(6)Condition 3 is that any other purposes of the body are connected with or incidental to the provision of housing.
(7)The Secretary of State may make regulations providing that a specified purpose is to be, or not to be, treated as connected with or incidental to the provision of housing.
(8)A body which is not a non-profit organisation under subsection (2) or (3) is a profit-making organisation.
(9)If the regulator thinks that what was a profit-making organisation has become a non-profit organisation [F1or vice versa], the regulator must change the registered designation accordingly [F2and notify the body it has done so.]
[F3(10)Subsection (1) does not apply to the entry of a local authority in the register (and, accordingly, references to “profit-making” and “non-profit” in connection with a registered provider do not refer to a local authority).]
