Frequently asked questions
What should a charity look for when choosing an accountant?
A charity should seek an accountant with specific experience in the charitable sector, ideally holding ACCA, ICAEW or AAT qualifications. Knowledge of Charity Commission reporting, fund accounting and Gift Aid is essential. It also helps if the professional understands HMRC rules for charities and can advise on VAT exemptions and tax returns. Checking that the firm is regulated and has a proven track record with not-for-profit organisations is equally important.
How can an accountant help a charity with HMRC compliance?
An accountant can ensure that a charity meets all HMRC obligations, including Gift Aid claims, VAT returns and any Corporation Tax requirements for trading arms. They can advise on tax reliefs and exemptions available to charities, helping to maximise income. They also assist with Self Assessment for trustees where necessary and ensure that all filings are accurate and submitted on time, avoiding penalties and maintaining the charity's good standing.
Do charities need to submit tax returns?
Most charities are exempt from paying Corporation Tax on their charitable income, but they may still need to submit a tax return in certain circumstances, such as when they have trading income above the threshold or rental income. An accountant can clarify whether a return is required and prepare it accurately. They can also handle Gift Aid claims and ensure that any taxable activities are correctly reported to HMRC.
What is the difference between restricted and unrestricted funds?
Restricted funds are donations given for a specific purpose, and they must be spent only on that purpose. Unrestricted funds can be used for any of the charity's objectives. Accountants help trustees track these funds separately, ensuring that restricted money is not misused. Proper fund accounting is essential for transparency and compliance with charity regulations, and an experienced professional can set up systems to manage this correctly.
Can an accountant help with charity VAT issues?
Yes, charity VAT is complex because many activities are exempt or outside the scope of VAT. An accountant can review a charity's activities to identify VAT liabilities and reliefs, such as zero-rating on certain purchases. They can also advise on VAT registration thresholds and help with partial exemption calculations. This ensures that the charity does not overpay VAT or fall foul of HMRC rules, potentially saving significant sums.
