Non-party campaigners: UK Parliamentary general elections

As a registered non-party campaigner, you must also report donations to us after each election as part of your spending return.

After the election you must report details of:

• all donations from impermissible or unidentifiable donors2
• all accepted donations with a value of more than £7,5003
• all accepted donations from the same donor that add up to more than £7,500 (aggregated donations)4

received for the purpose of meeting spending on regulated campaign activity.5

You must also report the total value of all other donations accepted between £500 and £7,500 received for the purpose of meeting spending on regulated campaign activity.6  You do not need to provide any more information about these donations.

There is no specific reporting period for donations in your spending and donations return. Under the law you must include any donations you received towards your spending on regulated campaign activity in your return. This includes any donations already reported in your pre-poll reports.

What details must you report?

For donations you have accepted that are (or add up to) over £7,500, you must report:

• the required details for the type of donor7  (please see Who can you accept donations from? for guidance on the details you must record for each donor type)
• the amount of the donation, if monetary, or the nature and value of the donation if non-monetary8
• the date you received the donation
• the date you accepted the donation9

For donations from impermissible or unidentifiable donors you must report:

• the name of the donor, if known, or the manner in which the donation was made10
• the amount of the donation, if monetary, or the nature and value of the donation if non-monetary11
• the date you received the donation12
• the date you returned the donation13
• the action you took to return the donation (for example, the person or institution you returned it to)14

You can submit your return on PEF Online. If you are submitting your spending and donations on PEF Online, please note that the spending return and donations report are separate.
