Frequently asked questions
What should a charity look for in an accountant?
A charity should look for an accountant with specific experience in charity accounting, including knowledge of the Charities SORP, fund accounting, and Gift Aid. Qualifications such as ACCA, ICAEW, or AAT demonstrate technical competence. It is also important that the accountant is regulated and can provide references from other charitable clients. Understanding of HMRC rules for charities, including VAT and tax returns, is essential for compliance.
Do charities need to submit a tax return to HMRC?
Most charities are exempt from paying Corporation Tax on their charitable income, but they may still need to submit a tax return to HMRC in certain circumstances, such as when they have trading income above the threshold or receive rental income. A qualified accountant can advise whether a return is required and help prepare it accurately to avoid penalties and ensure compliance with HMRC rules.
How can an ACCA or ICAEW accountant help a charity?
An ACCA or ICAEW accountant can help a charity by preparing annual accounts in line with the Charities SORP, advising on fund accounting, and ensuring compliance with Charity Commission requirements. They can also assist with Gift Aid claims, VAT reliefs, and Corporation Tax matters. Their expertise ensures that trustees meet their legal duties and that the charity's finances are managed transparently and efficiently.
What is the difference between restricted and unrestricted funds?
Restricted funds are donations given for a specific purpose, such as a particular project, and must be used only for that purpose. Unrestricted funds can be used for any of the charity's aims. Accountants help charities track these funds correctly, ensuring that restricted income is spent as intended and that reports to donors and regulators are accurate. This distinction is crucial for good financial governance.
Can an accountant help with Self Assessment for charity trustees?
Yes, an accountant can help charity trustees with Self Assessment if they receive taxable income, such as salaries, dividends, or rental income. While trustee roles are usually voluntary, some trustees may have personal tax obligations. A qualified accountant can prepare and file Self Assessment tax returns, advise on allowable expenses, and ensure that all HMRC deadlines are met, reducing stress and avoiding penalties.
