VAT – Reducing the cost to charitable organisations

“Charities, they don’t pay VAT, do they?” Unfortunately, that is simply not the case. VAT is ordinarily the most significant tax cost for a charity.

SOC VAT Consultants are specialists in advising charities and other not-for-profit organisations. We have considerable experience in the sector and aim to provide you with clear, understandable, yet innovative solutions.

SOC VAT Consultants are members of the Charity Finance Directors Group and the Charity Tax Reform Group and hence are well placed to be aware of the issues facing the sector.

We can provide guidance and assistance on all VAT matters affecting charities, such as:

• VAT liability of income
• VAT recovery methods
• Charitable zero-rate reliefs
• Property construction and transactions

We have considerable experience in advising on such areas for charities and in dealing with HM Revenue & Customs.

We can also assist charities by providing VAT support services, e.g.:

• Bespoke training courses
• VAT manuals
• Healthchecks and VAT inspection preparations
