On the seventh day of Christmas….

- If you’re looking for ways to keep the children amused while you finish off those last minute Christmas preparations – take a look at what activities local independent organisations are running as generally they will be VAT-free.

- Get your accounting right to avoid any fines from the tax man. HMRC will as ever penalise mistakes such as a wrongful declaration of output tax so don’t expect leniency.

- When it comes to advertising your charity, take advantage of zero-rated advertising such as “pay per click” internet click through facilities.
