Charity and Not-for-Profit VAT

Charity and Not-for-Profit VAT

How We Help Charities and Not-for-Profit (NFPs)

We minimise VAT payments for charities and NFPs by claiming VAT relief on:

  • Property transaction costs
  • Operations
  • Sales and commercial activities

We have many clients in the charity and not-for-profit (NFP) sector and in-depth experience. Some of our staff have experience in running charities. This means we understand the issues facing charities – and advise appropriately.

VAT Exemptions and Reliefs for NFPs

We make use of exemptions and reliefs, when available and we:

Examples

  • We restructured an NFP and saved £250k of corporation tax each year. This increased their benefit and enabled them to grow.
  • We structured a residential construction project involving disability works to obtain a VAT refund of over £20k.
