DfC To Review Financial Threshold For NI Charities
The Department for Communities (DfC) has announced a review of the requirements under which charities are required to register with the Charity Commission for Northern Ireland.
A public consultation has been launched on the financial threshold below which charities would not be required to register with the Charity Commission, or to provide an annual report and accounts.
The consultation will also seek views on the regulatory framework for those charities falling below the threshold and choosing not to register.
The consultation follows provision made within the Charities Act (Northern Ireland) 2022 that allows the DfC to introduce a registration threshold to remove the requirement for low-income charities to register with the Charity Commission for Northern Ireland. This has the potential to reduce the administrative burden for small charities and remove barriers to volunteering.
The primary aim of the consultation is to build on information already gathered in collaboration with sectoral representatives and the Commission on how a threshold could operate in Northern Ireland, including the shape of the regulatory framework for those charities falling below the threshold and choosing not to register.
The consultation is open to everyone to respond and will last for twelve weeks, closing on 11 August 2024.
