Under charity law, Give as you Live is classed as a commercial participant. Because it benefits from listing and promoting charities, part of the funds raised must be treated as a trading payment rather than a donation.
As a result, payments may be split into:
- a trading payment, and
- a donation payment
Together, these will always equal 100% of the funds raised.
If your charity or trading company is VAT-registered, VAT will be added to the trading payment in line with VAT regulations. Donation payments are not subject to VAT.
