Written Question
Monday 12th September 2016
Asked by:
Baroness Anderson of Stoke-on-Trent (Labour - Life peer)
Question
to the HM Treasury:
To ask Mr Chancellor of the Exchequer, how many community amateur sports clubs have changed their status to a charity in the last two years.
Answered by Jane Ellison
Rather than prosecute Community Amateur Sports Clubs (CASCs) for operating incorrectly, any club that does not meet the new regulations, introduced in April 2015, will be de-registered by HM Revenue and Customs (HMRC) and assessed for potential Capital Gains Tax charges on the deemed disposal and acquisition of assets.
Statistics are not kept on former CASCs that set up a charity that they subsequently register with HMRC. These new charities are required to simply register the charity with HMRC in the normal way.
