This query is : Open

Quick Summary

This discussion clarifies the calculation of total income for charitable trusts requiring an audit. The audit threshold is based on total income exceeding £2.5 lakhs before considering specific exemptions under sections 11 and 12. It's confirmed that all receipts, including donations (unless corpus donations with specific written direction), are generally included in income. Deductions are limited to expenses applied for the trust's charitable objects, which can encompass administrative and operational costs.
