2022/23 edition

The 2022/23 edition of Taxation of Charities and Nonprofit Organisations is available online and in paper form. The 2023/24 edition of Taxation of Charities Online is based on the last paper edition (2022/23) updated for some post-publication developments. In April 2023 HMRC published a consultation paper Charities tax compliance. Although this does not seem particularly controversial, progress seems to have stalled. The consultation period finished July 2023, but HMRC have not yet published a consultation response. Perhaps further reforms are in prospect; but that is a matter of speculation. No doubt the proposals will be eventually enacted, in one form or another, and a new edition of this work will then follow. The authors of the next edition will be James Kessler KC, Etienne Wong (who is responsible for the VAT chapters) and Shanzé Shah.
