Corporations and their close associates cannot give gifts to political entities in government if they are applying for tenders, grants, or licences.

Corporations that break this rule face a civil penalty; this is the higher of 200 penalty units or three times the gift value.

Any government contract, licence, or permit granted to a corporation that made a prohibited gift is revoked; the government can recover any money already paid.

Corporations that make a prohibited gift are banned from applying for tenders, grants, or licences for 12 months.

The Electoral Commissioner can order a person to stop a scheme designed to avoid these rules by splitting gifts to stay below disclosure thresholds.

People who ignore the Electoral Commissioner's notice face a penalty of 200 penalty units or a civil penalty of three times the gift value.
