Frequently asked questions
What should a charity look for in an accountant?
A charity should look for an accountant with experience in charity finance, ideally holding ACCA, ICAEW, or AAT qualifications. They should understand fund accounting, Gift Aid, and Charities SORP requirements. It is also important to check they are regulated and have a track record of preparing accounts for HMRC and the Charity Commission. Comparing providers on AccountingFirms can help trustees find a suitable professional.
Do charities need to submit a tax return to HMRC?
Most charities do not pay Corporation Tax on their charitable income, but they may still need to submit a tax return to HMRC if they have trading income, rental income, or other non-charitable activities. Even where exemptions apply, HMRC may require a return. A qualified accountant can advise on obligations and ensure any Self Assessment or Corporation Tax filings are completed accurately and on time.
How can an accountant help with Gift Aid claims?
An accountant can help charities maximise Gift Aid claims by ensuring donor declarations are correctly completed and that claims are accurate. They can also advise on eligible donations and maintain records for HMRC inspection. This reduces the risk of errors or penalties and helps the charity receive the tax relief it is entitled to. Firms listed on AccountingFirms often provide this specialist support.
What is the difference between an independent examination and an audit for charities?
An independent examination is a lighter-touch review required for smaller charities, whilst an audit is a more detailed statutory requirement for larger charities above certaincome thresholds. Both must be carried out by a qualified professional. An accountant with ACCA, ICAEW, or AAT qualifications can advise which applies and carry out the necessary work in line with Charity Commission guidance.
Can an accountant help with VAT for a charity?
Yes, an accountant can advise on VAT registration, partial exemption, and reliefs available to charities. Many charitable activities are exempt or outside the scope of VAT, but trading activities may create liabilities. A professional can help structure operations to minimise VAT costs and ensure compliance with HMRC rules. This is particularly useful for charities with shops, events, or fundraising activities.
How do I choose the right accountant for my charity in Wantage?
Start by comparing firms on AccountingFirms, checking their qualifications, experience with charities, and client reviews. Look for ACCA, ICAEW, or AAT members who understand HMRC and Charity Commission requirements. Request quotes and discuss your charity's specific needs, such as independent examination, Gift Aid, or VAT. A local professional in Wantage can offer convenient support and knowledge of the area.
