Government urged to remove tax burdens for charities

Charity bodies, including the Charity Tax Group and the Charity Finance Group, have urged the government to improve its relationship with the charity sector and provide greater collaboration on issues which affect UK charities.

The bodies have called for a consultation on VAT relief on everyday charitable donations and a consultation on membership charities being able to claim Gift Aid while staying compliant with the provisions of the Digital Markets, Competition and Consumers Act.

Richard Bray, Chair of the Charity Tax Group, said: ‘Over recent years the minister responsible for charity taxation has changed many times.

‘We hope a new administration will lead to greater continuity helping us to work together with government to secure a brighter future for charities.’
