consideration provided by or on behalf of the
political party.
(3) The value of any donation or services made by way of any

any value in monetary terms of any benefit conferred on the person
providing the sponsorship in question shall be disregarded.
(4) The value of any donation consisting of the provision,
otherwise than on commercial terms, of any property, services,
loans or facilities for the use or benefit of the political party, shall
be taken to be the amount representing the difference between:
