Is my charity a Trust or a Company?

SUMMARY

Find out why your company status is important, what dates are vital to know, and why having Trustees doesn't necessarily make you a Trust in the eyes of the tax man.

This is important because it affects:
• how HMRC calculates any interest on your repayment;
• the time limits for claiming and keeping your records.
Whether your charity is a trust or a company depends on how it was set up.
