Helen Elliott from Sayer Vincent will present a session on “Making the most of VAT
and gift aid on fundraising events” at next month’s CHASE exhibition.
Helen will
go over the tax and VAT rules affecting fundraising events, and then look at some
examples on how charities might manage the inter-connection between Gift Aid and
VAT to maximise both.

Her premise will be that, while fundraising events are generally exempt from tax
and VAT, without careful planning they “can

actually cost your charity more than they need to.”
