Frequently asked questions
What should a charity look for when choosing an accountant?
A charity should seek an accountant who is a member of a recognised professional body such as ACCA, ICAEW, or AAT. The accountant should have specific experience with charity accounts, including knowledge of the Charity Commission’s Statement of Recommended Practice (SORP). They should also be familiar with HMRC regulations regarding gift aid, VAT, and Corporation Tax, ensuring full compliance.
How can an accountant help with Gift Aid claims?
An accountant can assist your charity in preparing and submitting Gift Aid claims to HMRC. They will ensure that all donations are correctly recorded and that declarations from donors are valid. They can also help you calculate the amount of tax you can reclaim, which can significantly boost your charity’s income, and advise on record-keeping requirements.
Are there specific tax rules for charities regarding VAT?
Yes, charities have special VAT rules. Some services and goods are zero-rated or reduced-rated, while others are exempt. An accountant with charity expertise can help you determine the correct VAT treatment for your activities, manage partial exemption calculations, and ensure that your VAT returns are accurate and submitted on time to HMRC.
What is the role of an ICAEW or ACCA qualified accountant for a charity?
An ICAEW or ACCA qualified accountant brings rigorous training and ethical standards to charity work. They can prepare statutory accounts, conduct independent examinations or audits, and provide strategic financial advice. Their qualification ensures they stay up to date with changing regulations, offering your charity reliable guidance on complex issues such as restricted funds and governance.
Can an accountant help with a charity’s Corporation Tax return?
Many charities are exempt from Corporation Tax on income used for charitable purposes, but some trading activities may be taxable. An accountant can review your income streams, identify any taxable activities, and prepare the necessary Corporation Tax return for HMRC. They will ensure you claim all available exemptions and reliefs, minimising your tax liability.
How often should a charity review its accounting arrangements?
It is advisable for a charity to review its accounting arrangements at least annually, or whenever there is a significant change income, expenditure, or structure. Regular reviews with a qualified accountant can help identify efficiencies, ensure compliance with HMRC and the Charity Commission, and provide assurance that financial controls are robust and fit for purpose.
