The charities team has extensive experience in advising charities on charity law and tax issues arising from trading activities. 

We can advise on:

• The possible need for a charity to establish a subsidiary trading company in any particular circumstances;
• Formation of the subsidiary;
• Arrangements between the charity and the subsidiary including funding issues;
• Avoiding potential tax pitfalls.

Recent matters include advising on an application to the Charity Commission for consent to a proposed sale of a property by a charity to its trading subsidiary.
