Frequently asked questions
What should a charity look for in an accountant?
A charity should seek an accountant with experience in the not-for-profit sector, ideally holding ACCA, ICAEW, or AAT qualifications. They should understand Charity Commission rules, gift aid, and tax exemptions. It is also important that they can prepare annual returns and advise on VAT and Corporation Tax. Checking reviews and professional body membership helps ensure reliability.
How do accountants help charities with HMRC compliance?
Accountants ensure that charities meet all HMRC obligations, including submitting accurate tax returns and claiming eligible gift aid. They advise on VAT reliefs and Corporation Tax exemptions for trading activities. They also help with Self Assessment for any staff or trustees who require it. By keeping up to date with changing legislation, they prevent penalties and ensure full compliance.
Are ACCA or ICAEW accountants better for charities?
Both ACCA and ICAEW accountants are highly qualified and regulated. ACCA tends to have a broad business focus, whilst ICAEW often specialises in audit and assurance. For charities, the best choice depends on specific needs such as independent examination or complex fund accounting. Many firms employ both, so it is wise to check individual experience in the charity sector.
What tax reliefs are available for charities?
Charities can benefit from exemptions on Corporation Tax for most income, as well as relief from VAT on certain purchases. Gift aid allows charities to reclaim tax on donations from individuals. Business rates relief may also apply. An accountant can help identify which reliefs apply and ensure claims are correctly submitted to HMRC.
How often should a charity review its accountant?
It is good practice to review your accountant annually or when significant changes occur, such as a large increase income or new trading activities. Regular reviews ensure the accountant still meets your needs and remains cost-effective. Comparing providers every few years can also reveal better suited specialists.
Can accountants help with charity independent examination?
Yes, many qualified accountants provide independent examination services for charities with income below the audit threshold. They review financial records and report to the Charity Commission. This ensures compliance with regulations and gives trustees confidence. Some firms also offer audit services for larger charities, so it is important to check qualifications and experience.
