Charity Trading, Taxes and VAT

Many charities trade, sometimes unknowingly, either as part of their charitable activities or solely to raise funds. This introductory session explores the main legal, taxation and other financial aspects, dispels some common myths and provides guidance to avoid some of the many pitfalls.

In addition, we look at the wider aspects of the impact of taxes on charities and include a brief look at VAT, primary purpose trading, trading subsidiaries and charity shops.

Issues will be dealt with in non-technical language and you can will identify areas which you may need to address or consider more fully.
