Only up to
£5000 pounds, and as far as I am aware, we would be handling much
larger amounts than that. So as a temporary measure to get membership
fee's etc tax reimbursed would be fine, but it wouldn't work during the
annual fundraiser.
For that, the charity registration would be necessary.
Yes, precisely, but we can wait until after we've got the £5000 to
worry about that (which eliminates the need for the foundation to give
us a starting donation). You only have to register in the tax year in
which your income goes over £5000, you don't have to have registered
before then.
What may be worthwhile is putting in the paperwork for HMRC now, geting that sorted, then
after the AGM dealing with the full charity status.
