Charity Tax Group has hailed a new report published by the European Commission on the different VAT treatments in different EU member states, as a major milestone in its campaign to secure a fairer VAT regime for UK charities.
The spectre of an “administrative nightmare” for the sector that has already been seen off once by Charity Tax Group has resurfaced in a new report from the Office of Tax Simplification (OTS).
The rise in the VAT rate to 20 per cent in January 2011 will hit charities disproportionately hard, says Helen Donoghue.
The Charity Tax Group is advocating that the best way to make progress on gift aid would be to move from the current paper-based system to a standard electronic database provided by HMRC to each charity.
The Charity Tax Group has called upon charities to work closely together to understand the impact on the sector of a number of taxation reviews and "put forward coherent plans for how the sector should be taxed".
The Charity Tax Group has said it will step up its campaign on the sector's £500m irrecoverable VAT bill despite the government's negative response to an online petition on the issue.
