Frequently asked questions
What should a charity look for when choosing an accountant?
A charity should seek an accountant with experience in charity accounting, knowledge of gift aid, VAT relief and trustee reporting. Professional credentials such as ACCA, ICAEW or AAT indicate a regulated adviser. It is also important to confirm the firm understands HMRC requirements for charities, including tax returns and compliance deadlines, and can provide clear guidance on reserves, restricted funds and governance.
How can an accountant help a charity with HMRC compliance?
An accountant can assist with gift aid claims, VAT relief, tax returns and correspondence with HMRC. They help ensure that charitable income is treated correctly and that any taxable activities are reported accurately. Professionals also advise on Corporation Tax where applicable and support trustees with Self Assessment obligations if required. This reduces the risk of penalties and helps maintain the charity's compliant status.
Are ACCA or ICAEW accountants better for charities?
Both ACCA and ICAEW accountants are highly qualified and regulated. The best choice depends on the charity's specific needs and the adviser's experience in the sector. Some firms specialise in not-for-profit accounting and can offer tailored support. It is advisable to compare providers, review their credentials and confirm they have relevant charity expertise before appointing them.
What records should a charity maintain for accounting purposes?
A charity should keep accurate records of all income and expenditure, including donations, grants, fundraising events and gift aid claims. Records of restricted and unrestricted funds must be maintained separately. Supporting documents such as invoices, receipts and bank statements should be retained. Good record-keeping helps accountants prepare annual accounts, complete tax returns and demonstrate transparency to trustees, funders and regulators.
Can an accountant help with charity VAT and Corporation Tax?
Yes, an accountant can advise on VAT relief available to charities and help determine whether certain activities are taxable. They can also assist with Corporation Tax if the charity has trading income that is not exempt. Professionals ensure that VAT and Corporation Tax obligations are met correctly, whilst maximising available reliefs and avoiding unnecessary liabilities.
