Frequently asked questions
What should a charity look for in an accountant?
A charity should seek an accountant who understands the specific regulations governing the voluntary sector, including the Charities Act and SORP. Look for qualifications from ACCA, ICAEW, or AAT, and experience with Gift Aid, VAT, and restricted funds. The accountant should be able to prepare annual accounts, conduct independent examinations, and offer strategic advice on financial governance and tax planning.
How does an accountant help with HMRC compliance for charities?
An accountant assists with HMRC compliance by ensuring your charity registers for the correct taxes, such as VAT or Corporation Tax when applicable. They manage Gift Aid claims, submit accurate tax returns, and advise on payroll and PAYE for employees. Their expertise helps you avoid penalties, meet deadlines, and maintain your charitable tax status.
What is the role of an independent examination for a charity?
An independent examination is a lighter-touch review of a charity's accounts, required for charities with an income below a certain threshold. The examiner checks that the accounts are consistent with the charity's records and that the charity has complied with the law. This role can be performed by a qualified accountant, such as an ACCA or ICAEW member.
Why is Gift Aid important for charities and how does an accountant help?
Gift Aid allows charities to reclaim basic-rate tax on donations from UK taxpayers, increasing the value of gifts by 25 percent. An accountant ensures that Gift Aid declarations are correctly obtained and processed, maintains proper records, and submits claims to HMRC on time. This maximises your charity's income while ensuring full compliance with the rules.
Can an accountant help with VAT for a charity?
Yes, an accountant can help your charity manage VAT obligations, which can be complex for the sector. They advise on whether your charity needs to register for VAT, identify exempt and zero-rated supplies, and ensure that you reclaim VAT on eligible purchases. Their guidance helps you avoid overpaying or underpaying VAT and ensures accurate VAT returns.
What are the benefits of using an ACCA or ICAEW qualified accountant?
ACCA and ICAEW qualified accountants have undergone rigorous training and adhere to strict ethical and professional standards. They bring deep expertise in charity finance, tax, and auditing, and are required to keep their knowledge up to date. Using such a professional provides assurance of quality, integrity, and competence in managing your charity's financial affairs.
