Tax relief for charities
A charity must be registered with the Charity Commissioner to be able to claim the following charitable tax reliefs:
- income tax exemption
- refunds of GST incurred on goods and services
- repayment of tax deducted by donors under a Deed of Covenant
- repayment of tax deducted by donors under the Jersey Gift Support scheme
- stamp duty exemption
- land transaction tax exemption
A charity which is registered with the Charity Commissioner will be entitled to charitable tax reliefs from the date the charity is registered.
You can apply to register your charity or contact the Charity Commissioner on the Jersey Charity Commissioner website.
Registering a charity with Revenue Jersey
Once a charity has been Registered by the Jersey Charity Commissioner it should email Revenue Jersey with it's name, address and Registered Charity Number to obtain a Tax Identification Number (TIN).
This will then enable the charity to apply for and obtain GST and income tax refunds from the date it has been registered by the Commissioner.
