Frequently asked questions
What should a charity look for when choosing an accountant?
A charity should look for a regulated professional with experience in the not-for-profit sector, ideally accredited by ACCA, ICAEW, or AAT. Relevant expertise includes fund accounting, Gift Aid, independent examinations, and HMRC compliance. It also helps to check whether the firm has worked with charities of a similar size and complexity, and whether they can support trustees with reporting duties.
How can an accountant help a charity with HMRC obligations?
An accountant can help a charity meet HMRC obligations by preparing and submitting the required tax returns, advising on Gift Aid claims, and clarifying VAT treatment for different activities. They can also assist with Corporation Tax where applicable and ensure that any taxable income is reported correctly. This reduces the risk of errors, penalties, and unnecessary delays in dealing with HMRC.
Do charities need an audit or an independent examination?
Whether a charity needs an audit or an independent examination depends on its income, assets, and governing document. Smaller charities often require an independent examination, whilst larger ones may need a full audit. An accountant with charity experience can assess the thresholds, explain the options, and carry out the appropriate review to meet regulatory expectations.
What is Gift Aid and how does an accountant support it?
Gift Aid allows eligible charities to reclaim basic rate tax on donations from taxpayers. An accountant can help set up and maintain the necessary records, ensure declarations are valid, and prepare claims accurately. They can also advise on Gift Aid on membership fees, event income, and other complex areas, helping the charity maximise income whilst remaining compliant with HMRC rules.
Can an accountant help with VAT for a charity?
Yes, an accountant can advise on VAT registration, partial exemption, and the treatment of different income streams. Charities sometimes have unique VAT positions, and mistakes can be costly. A qualified professional can review activities, identify reliefs, and ensure returns are completed correctly. This supports smoother compliance and can reduce unnecessary VAT costs.
