Comment: | The Charity Tax Group campaigns on behalf of charities to seek changes in tax legislation and administration. It has over three hundred and fifty member charities of all sizes and types. Its purpose is to represent to Government the views of its members on issues relating to the taxation of charities. Since 1982 CTG has attempted to make a serious contribution to the debate on the tax concessions for charities as well as on incentives to encourage giving to charities.
It carries out its objectives through a number of activities including:
+ representations to Members of Parliament and Ministers;
+ regular meetings with officials at the Inland Revenue, Customs and Excise and the Charity Commission;
+ written submissions to Government departments;
+ regular meetings of the membership;
+ Members' Newsletters.
CTG's main concern is irrecoverable VAT, but it has also campaigned on a wide variety of both direct and indirect tax issues. |
