HMRC are in the process of gathering views from various organisations to understand the potential impact of the proposed changes outlined in the recently announced Charities Tax Compliance Consultation. The purpose of this consultation is to explore reasonable and proportionate changes, with the charity sector, on how to reform some tax relief rules that do not work as intended. It will examine some of the charity taxation rules to help tackle non-compliance and protect the integrity of the charity sector without changing the overall purpose of the tax reliefs. It will ensure the rules continue to be fit for purpose. The consultation seeks views on several areas including:

• tainted charity donations
• approved charitable investments
• non-charitable expenditure
• charity filing obligations

This consultation will be of particular interest to Charities and Community Amateur Sports Clubs (CASCs), as well as their donors.
