If you’re running a small nonprofit or charity, the latest government consultation on Taxation and the Not-for-Profit Sector might feel overwhelming. The tax system is under review, and potential changes could impact how your organisation operates—especially if you earn income from a business, receive large donations, or provide perks to staff.
At The NGO Coach, I know that small nonprofits don’t have time to sift through lengthy policy papers or struggle with legal jargon. That’s why I’ve put together two easy-to-use resources:
1️⃣ A plain English summary of the consultation – breaking down what’s being proposed and why it matters to small charities.
2️⃣ A simple submission template – so you can share your views with the Government without spending hours drafting a formal response.
Why Does This Matter?
- If your charity runs a business, you may need to start paying tax on that income.
- If your charity receives large donations from a single donor, there might be new rules around how that money is used.
- If you’re a small NFP, tax reporting rules might change—either making things simpler or adding new obligations.
- If you offer perks to employees, there could be changes to how these are taxed.
- If your organisation relies on donations, improvements to tax credits could encourage more giving.
How to Have Your Say (Without the Stress!)
Submissions are open until 31 March 2025. Using my free template, you can quickly put together a response that reflects the needs of your organisation—whether that’s calling for tax relief for small NFPs, supporting fairer donation rules, or asking for simpler reporting.
