Good Night Out Request (Portfolio)

Organisation Description

As a small UK based CIC we deliver training workshops (usually in the form of CPD-accredited education in workplace training) for nightlife venues and arts organisations, plus other local authorities, private and public sector organisations.

What are they looking for?

We do this via an accreditation scheme where we offer help with policies and procedures. After a review by our accountants, it was confirmed that the majority of this work we undertake as an organisation (generally what we refer to in our finances as Accreditation & Training) would be considered VAT exempt under the following conditions. We are led to believe the remainder of our income (apart from Donations) could be categorised as Consultancy work and possibly VATable. The total income from this work has always been significantly under the VAT threshold over any given 12 month period.

We are currently seeking guidance on how to categorise different parts of our income, any pro bono support would be fantastic.
