Tax

We understand how to manage tax risks for not-for-profits – and know how to find the opportunities.

The tax landscape for charities and social enterprises can be particularly complex and can often be expensive. Get it wrong, and your organisation could be exposed to unforeseen costs, as wells as regulatory and public scrutiny.

Our unique approach combines tax and legal advice to provide a holistic and proactive service, steeped in sector expertise. We work to fully understand client needs and design solutions which fit within the wider objectives of your organisation.

From untangling complex queries; to identifying cost-saving opportunities; to mitigating risks; our advice is always informed by our specialised understanding of charities and not-for-profits.
