HMRC Notices – Sponsorship and Donations

23 May 2019      Amanda Darley, Head of Operations and Engagement

As reported in the last TaxHE newsletter, Notice 701/1 How VAT affects charities has been updated, including a useful new section 5.9.6 regarding mixed sponsorship and donation payments. This is also reflected in an updated version of Notice 701/41 Sponsorship in section 2.3. These updates provide clarity on the fact that, provided a donation is not conditional on the sponsorship benefits being provided, it can be treated as a separate donation amount which is outside the scope of VAT, and only the sponsorship element is subject to VAT.

If you do not currently receive the TaxHE newsletter (which goes out fortnightly on a Thursday), head to your preferences and change your primary or secondary interests to either Tax or Payroll and Expenses (and click 'Save').
