Frequently asked questions
Why do charities need specialist accountants rather than general practitioners?
Charities face unique rules on restricted funds, Gift Aid, and Charity Commission reporting that general accountants may not fully understand. Specialist charity accountants ensure compliance with the Charities SORP, maximise tax reliefs, and prepare accurate annual accounts. They also advise on trustee duties and fundraising regulations, reducing risk and protecting charitable assets.
What qualifications should a charity accountant hold?
Look for professionals regulated by ACCA, ICAEW, or AAT. These bodies ensure members meet strict ethical and technical standards. ACCA and ICAEW accountants often specialise in not-for-profit accounting, whilst AAT-qualified professionals handle bookkeeping and VAT. Always verify credentials and experience with charity accounts before appointing an accountant.
How does HMRC treat charities differently for tax purposes?
HMRC recognises charities as exempt from Corporation Tax on most income if profits are used for charitable purposes. Charities can also claim Gift Aid on donations and receive relief on VAT for certain activities. However, tax returns and Gift Aid claims must be accurate. A qualified accountant ensures HMRC compliance and avoids penalties.
Can a charity accountant help with Self Assessment for trustees?
Yes. Trustees may need to file Self Assessment if they receive payment for services, have expenses treated as income, or hold certain roles. An accountant clarifies whether Self Assessment applies and ensures accurate reporting to HMRC. This protects trustees from unexpected tax liabilities and keeps personal affairs separate from charity finances.
What should a charity expect from an accountant regarding VAT?
Charities face complex VAT rules. Some activities are exempt, others standard-rated, and certain fundraising events have special treatment. A qualified accountant identifies reliefs, ensures correct VAT returns, and advises on irrecoverable VAT. This prevents overpayment and keeps the charity compliant with HMRC requirements whilst maximising available funds.
