CFG unveils Charity Tax Plan

CFG has unveiled its plan for radical tax reform to reduce the amount of charitable resources lost through the tax system ahead of the Autumn Statement. 

The plan outlines a number of reasons why the government should support the charity sector, and then outlines five measures that can be introduced to improve the system for charities including:

  • Reducing irrecoverable VAT
  • Increasing business rates to 100%
  • Further simplifying the Gift Aid Small Donations Scheme
  • Giving higher rate taxpaying donors the option to give all their tax relief to charities
  • An exemption for charities from Insurance Premium Tax
