Trusted Non-Profit Tax Filing Services for Organisations
Running a non-profit means managing limited resources while meeting strict compliance standards. Your mission comes first, but HMRC still expects accurate returns, Gift Aid documentation, and full reporting of trading or investment income. A small mistake can lead to penalties or even risk your charitable recognition.
At Pearl Lemon Tax, we provide reliable non-profit tax filing services, ensuring every filing, claim, and return is handled correctly and on time. Our consultants work closely with trustees and finance teams to meet HMRC requirements while protecting the funds that keep your projects running.
Book a call with us to ensure your non-profit stays compliant and financially secure.

Gift Aid Registration and Claim Management
Gift Aid remains one of the most valuable tax benefits available to non-profits, allowing you to increase every eligible donation by 25%. Yet many organisations miss claims due to record-keeping errors.
We handle Gift Aid registration, record reviews, and claims on your behalf.
Our Gift Aid services include:
- Setting up and maintaining Gift Aid registration with HMRC.
- Reviewing donor declarations for compliance.
- Preparing accurate claims through HMRC’s online system.
- Reconciling donations with banking and fundraising records.
With precise documentation, your organisation receives the maximum benefit from every eligible donation.
VAT Compliance and Relief Applications
VAT rules for non-profits can be complex. Many activities are exempt or partially exempt, while others may still attract VAT if not handled correctly.
Our VAT consultancy services ensure that VAT is managed accurately across your operations.
Our services include:
Assessing eligibility for VAT registration or exemption
Advising on the VAT treatment of fundraising events and property
Managing partial exemption and apportionment calculations
Preparing VAT returns and submissions to HMRC
By applying VAT correctly, you protect your cash flow and avoid unnecessary costs.
Trading Income and Corporation Tax Filing
If your non-profit earns income from trading activities, such as selling goods, renting property, or offering paid services, some of that income may be taxable.
We identify and manage these obligations to ensure your organisation remains compliant.
Our corporation tax filing services include:
Reviewing commercial activities to separate charitable and taxable income
Setting up and managing trading subsidiaries
Preparing corporation tax returns for relevant entities
Advising on profit transfers through Gift Aid to reduce tax exposure
With careful planning, your commercial activities can support your mission while remaining fully compliant with HMRC requirements.
Payroll and Employment Tax Compliance
Charities and community groups often employ staff, volunteers, or contractors, each with distinct payroll and tax responsibilities.
We provide Payroll Tax Services to ensure employment tax filings are handled accurately for your organisation.
Our services include:
PAYE and National Insurance management
Preparing and submitting P11D forms for benefits
Advising on volunteer and trustee reimbursement policies
Reviewing compliance with HMRC Real Time Information (RTI) standards
Accurate payroll reporting ensures your team is paid correctly and your organisation remains fully compliant.
Inheritance Tax and Legacy Administration
Donations through wills and estates form a major source of funding for many non-profits. Correctly handling these legacies requires detailed tax and legal coordination.
We provide Inheritance Tax Advisory Services to support your organisation in managing compliance for charitable legacies.
Our legacy administration services include:
Liaising with executors and solicitors on estate distributions
Confirming charitable exemption eligibility for legacies
Reviewing documentation for partial exemptions and conditions
Preparing supporting correspondence for HMRC as needed

We carry out governance reviews focused on tax compliance to ensure your filings and processes remain accurate and up to date.
Our reviews include:
- Analysing existing accounting systems and internal controls.
- Checking adherence to HMRC and Charity Commission standards.
