Business Rates Charitable Relief

Wondering if you have overpaid on business rates? You are not alone.

Thousands of charities, just like yours, are failing to claim the correct business rates charitable relief.

What’s more, this can often go undetected for years, resulting in significant overpayments being made, and a negative financial impact on your organisation.

Enlisting Caritas to health check your accounts will ensure you are fully able to benefit from all the charitable reliefs available to you. By conducting a thorough analysis of your current and historical business rates liabilities, we can identify any lone or repeat occurrences of overpayment.

We will review your entire property portfolio, including current, sold and vacant properties to formulate and implement a strategy for processing applications and recovering historical overpayments on your behalf.

We ensure all relevant reliefs are also applied to current and future liabilities, to save you money going forward, without any extra work by you.

What could a refund mean to you and your charity? You could be owed thousands…

Council Tax Charitable Exemption

Do you own or manage multiple residential properties?

Are you a housing association or provider of social housing with charitable status?

We all know how frustrating it can be to keep track of the council tax charitable exemption process.

There are over 350 councils in England alone and, following the Localism Act 2011, each council sets out its own rules and requirements for charitable exemption. This can mean dealing with applications across multiple regions with differing terms – a complex task that can all too often feel daunting and unapproachable. Because of this, many organisations haven’t received the correct exemptions, or have been put off even applying in the first instance.

Caritas are experts in this complicated area of the law and understand each council’s requirements. We conduct a detailed review of your current and historical council tax liabilities, to identify where you may have overpaid. We then make the correct applications on your behalf, taking away the stress of endless form-filling and dealing with non-responsive councils.

Why not take a proactive approach to a common problem affecting social housing providers throughout the UK? Contact us to see how we can help streamline your current process.
