Frequently asked questions
For charities in England and Wales with financial years ending on or after 30 September 2026, gross income over £40,000 normally triggers an independent examination or audit. A charity audit is generally required if gross income exceeds £1.5 million, or if gross income exceeds £500,000 and gross assets exceed £5 million. Earlier financial years use different thresholds. Governing documents, funding terms and other legal requirements can also affect the decision. Charity Commission guidance on the threshold changes.
Gift Aid is available to eligible charities and community amateur sports clubs on qualifying donations. CIC status by itself does not make an organisation eligible. For eligible organisations we can help check donations against declarations and prepare claims. HMRC guidance on claiming Gift Aid.
The report covers how the CIC’s activities benefited the community and how it involved stakeholders. Directors also report relevant items such as director remuneration and certain transfers of assets. It goes to Companies House with the annual accounts. CIC Regulator’s CIC34 form and examples.
If you’re registered in England or Wales, you must report to the Charity Commission each year. What you submit depends on your income and legal structure. Charities registered elsewhere should check the requirements of their own regulator. Charity Commission annual return guidance.
Bookkeeping and payroll start at £249 a month. Compliance costs £1,800/year and reporting costs £1,200/month. Both are optional additions to bookkeeping and payroll.
