TaxPayers' Alliance media coverage

Curiously, there’s one TPA story which is missing from today’s compendium…

TaxPayers' Alliance receive Gift Aid…the one about being under investigation by the Charity Commission, of course!

  • The TPA set up a charity under a different name to claim Gift Aid subsidy from, erm, the taxpayer.
  • Business donors were asked to channel money through the ‘Politics and Economics Research Trust’ rather than give directly.
  • Tax accountants have warned that the arrangements could breach charity law.

And this all comes after October’s revelations that their directors doesn’t pay UK tax.
