Comment

Employers' associations, trade unions and other trade associations established to represent the financial interests of the members' profession are required to ensure that contributions to political parties or for party-political purposes in general collected together with membership fees are voluntary contributions from the individual member.

Members wishing to be exempt from paying contributions to political parties or from making payments for party-political purposes in general together with their membership fees must make a written declaration to this effect.
