Charities and tax
Get recognition for tax relief
To get tax relief your charity must be:
- based in the UK
- established for charitable purposes only
- registered with the Charity Commission or another regulator, if this applies to you
- run by ‘fit and proper persons’
- recognised by HM Revenue and Customs (HMRC)
Charities based in the EU, Iceland, Liechtenstein or Norway can no longer apply to get tax relief. If you got tax relief on or before 14 March 2023, you will continue to get it until April 2024.
