Love that knows no boundaries?
Article Abstract:
UK charities are increasingly active in mainland Europe where the regulatory system differs from country to country. Cultural differences affect the regulation of charities which may be geared to the kinds of bodies seen as suitable for charitable status or to a system of governance based on common law. Harry Kidd has set out a guide to these regulations. Taxation policies vary from one country to another and there are notable differences in how value added tax is dealt with.

New charity to channel unwanted goods
Article Abstract:
Goods in Kind UK is a new charity to be launched in the UK that aims to channel surplus products to charities. Charities can receive updated lists of what is available by registering. Voluntary organizations that are not registered as charities can also benefit if they meet not-for-profit criteria. Existing commercial systems will be used to transport goods at low rates or free. The charity is modeled on similar operations in the US that have been successful.

The ACT man cometh
Article Abstract:
United Kingdom charities will be affected by tax changes which will reduce their dividend income. The abolition of tax credits on dividends will not affect charities immediately, as is the case with pension funds, but after April 1999. There will also be tapering compensation over five years, so there will be a total of nearly seven years for charities to adjust. Charity taxation is also to be reviewed to ease the administrative burden that charities carry.
