Irrecoverable VAT

CTG is calling on the Government to compensate them for all the irrecoverable VAT they pay. Irrecoverable VAT costs charities between £400 and £500 million a year. This money could better be spent on providing charitable services, particularly as it widely accepted charities spend their money more cost-effectively than government.

Lifetime Legacies

CTG is a member of the Lifetime Legacies coalition, a group of charities and other organisations and individuals seeking the introduction of Charitable Remainder Trusts (CRTs). CRTs allow a donor to make an irrevocable gift to a charity during their lifetime, of shares, property or cash, while retaining the benefit of the income or use of the gift for the term of their life. The donor can make deductions against capital gains tax at the time of the gift and its value is not counted as part of their estate for the purposes of inheritance tax.
