Now that Customs and Excise and the Inland Revenue have merged into HM Revenue and
Customs (HMRC), there is a new business unit designed to deal exclusively with charities.

The new Charities Unit will deal both with charitable organisations and with charitable
donations.

An advisory group is planned so that representatives of the charity sector can contribute
to the development of the unit.
