Haines Watts VAT team currently advises a number of national charities on indirect tax issues.

Our extensive experience of advising charities and not-for-profit organisations ensures that in many cases we can obtain VAT advantages simply by exploiting existing reliefs to the full. We also provide a more focused VAT planning service in connection with property and VAT liability matters.

We recently obtained a sizeable VAT refund for a not-for-profit members club based on their membership fees and the treatment of VAT on those fees. We have also advised another charitable organisation with regard to a number of grants they receive from public bodies, confirming the VAT liabilities to increase their partial exemption calculation and therefore their overall VAT recovery.
