Frequently asked questions
What should a charity look for when choosing an accountant?
Charities should look for accountants with experience in the Charities SORP, fund accounting, and Gift Aid. Check for ACCA, ICAEW, or AAT qualifications and whether the firm is regulated. It is also helpful to confirm they have handled independent examinations or audits for similar-sized charities and can advise on HMRC compliance and VAT reliefs.
Do charity accountants help with HMRC and tax returns?
Yes, many accountants assist charities with HMRC matters, including Gift Aid claims, Corporation Tax where applicable, and PAYE for staff. They can also support trustees with Self Assessment if required. Their knowledge of charity tax reliefs helps ensure compliance and avoids unnecessary liabilities, whilst keeping accurate records for tax returns and HMRC correspondence.
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 below the audit threshold, conducted by a qualified person. An audit is a more detailed statutory requirement for larger charities. Accountants with ACCA, ICAEW, or AAT qualifications can advise which applies and carry out the appropriate work to satisfy the Charity Commission.
Can accountants help with VAT for charities?
Yes, charity accountants can advise on VAT exemptions, reliefs, and partial exemption rules. They help with VAT registration, returns, and recovery where applicable. Given the complex VAT treatment of fundraising and trading activities, professional guidance ensures charities do not overpay or fall foul of HMRC rules, whilst maintaining accurate VAT records.
How do I find a qualified charity accountant in York?

What records should a charity keep for tax and accounting purposes?
Charities should keep records of all income and expenditure, Gift Aid declarations, bank statements, invoices, and payroll records. For tax returns and HMRC purposes, retain records for at least six years. Accountants can advise on specific retention periods and help set up systems to ensure compliance with Charity Commission and HMRC requirements.
