Frequently asked questions
What should a charity look for when choosing an accountant?
When selecting an accountant for your charity, look for someone with experience in the charitable sector, ideally a member of a professional body such as ACCA, ICAEW, or AAT. They should understand the Charity Commission’s reporting requirements, the Charities SORP, and specific tax rules like Gift Aid. It is also beneficial to find an accountant who offers proactive advice on VAT and Corporation Tax, ensuring your charity remains compliant and financially efficient.
How often should a charity file its accounts with the Charity Commission?
The frequency of filing accounts with the Charity Commission depends on your charity’s gross annual income. Charities with an income above the audit threshold must have their accounts audited and file them annually. Smaller charities may be able to submit simpler accounts, but they still must file within ten months of the financial year end. Your accountant can confirm the exact deadlines and ensure all paperwork is submitted on time to avoid penalties.
What is the difference between an audit and an independent examination?
An audit is a more thorough review of a charity’s financial statements, required for larger charities with an income over a set limit. It must be carried out by a registered auditor. An independent examination is a lighter-touch review suitable for smaller charities, checking that accounts are consistent and that no obvious errors exist. The examiner must be independent and have the relevant skills. Your accountant can advise which is required for your charity.
Can an accountant help with Gift Aid claims?
Yes, an accountant can be invaluable when claiming Gift Aid. They will ensure that your charity has the correct declarations from donors, calculate the amount of Gift Aid you are entitled to, and submit the claim to HMRC. They can also help you reclaim tax on donations made through payroll giving and ensure that all records meet HMRC’s requirements. This can significantly increase your charity’s income without extra fundraising effort.
Are there specific VAT rules that apply to charities?
Yes, charities are subject to special VAT rules, including reduced rates on certain goods and services, and the ability to claim back VAT on some purchases. However, partial exemption rules can be complex, especially if your charity makes both taxable and non-taxable supplies. An accountant with charity expertise can help you navigate these rules, ensure you are not overpaying VAT, and keep accurate records to support your claims.
