Expert Charity Tax Consulting Services to Simplify Compliance
Running a charity or non-profit is noble, but tax compliance can be overwhelming. Keeping your organisation on the right side of tax laws while maximising every opportunity to save funds is essential. With Pearl Lemon Tax’s Charity Tax Consulting Services, we’re here to take the headache out of tax regulations, letting you focus on your mission. From understanding gift aid claims to managing VAT exemptions and tax reliefs, we have the expertise to support your charity’s tax obligations at every turn.
Our Charity Tax Consulting Services
Whether you’re a small charity or a larger non-profit organization, our tax advisory services are designed to address the unique challenges charities face. Here’s a breakdown of the services we offer to help you manage your finances effectively while staying compliant.
1. Gift Aid Consultancy
Gift aid allows charities to claim back 25p on every £1 donated by UK taxpayers, but the process can be complex. We streamline your gift aid claims, ensuring all eligible donations are claimed efficiently, maximising your income without adding administrative strain.
2. VAT Exemptions and Reductions
Charities benefit from several VAT exemptions, but navigating VAT rules can be complicated. We help identify areas where your charity is eligible for VAT relief or exemption, from fundraising events to building renovations, helping you save on expenses.
3. Corporation Tax Relief Guidance
While most charitable tax deduction activities are exempt from corporation tax, some income may still be taxable. We provide guidance on structuring your income streams to avoid unnecessary taxes and ensure that your charity maintains its tax-exempt status.
4. Trading Income and Subsidiary Management
If your charity engages in trading activities, such as selling merchandise, it’s essential to manage this income carefully. We help structure your trading income efficiently, advising on when to establish a trading subsidiary to protect your charitable tax exemption.
5. Tax Reliefs for Donations and Legacies
Donations and legacies provide essential funding for many charities. Our consultants guide you through the tax implications, helping donors maximise their contributions with tax-efficient giving options and ensuring legacies are handled correctly.
6. Compliance for International Charities and Donations
If your charity operates internationally, tax compliance becomes even more complex. We offer support for UK-based charities that receive donations or provide aid abroad, ensuring that both donations and operations are compliant with UK tax laws.
7. Fundraising Event Tax Compliance
Fundraising events are a vital revenue source but can also introduce VAT and other tax complexities. We provide advice on how to structure these events, so your organisation can fully benefit without falling afoul of tax regulations.
8. Payroll and Employment Tax Consulting
From employees to volunteers, charity payroll management is unique. Our team assists with PAYE, National Insurance contributions, and other employment tax issues, ensuring compliance while managing costs effectively.
9. Financial Reporting and Tax Documentation
Accurate financial reporting is crucial for charity transparency and compliance. We support you in preparing tax documents and financial statements, ensuring every detail is correct and meets HMRC standards.
