Frequently Asked Questions
Here are answers to common questions club treasurers, committee members and sports club officers ask about specialist accounting.
What tax reliefs do CASCs receive?
CASCs are exempt from corporation tax on trading under £50,000, property under £30,000, interest, Gift Aid and capital gains. All income must be applied for qualifying sporting purposes.
How does mutual trading affect clubs?
Income from members is not trading income under mutual trading rules. Subscriptions, bar sales and facility fees from members are exempt. Only non-member income is taxable. Separate records are essential.
Can sports clubs claim Gift Aid?
Yes. Registered CASCs can claim 25% rebate on qualifying donations. Membership subscriptions do not qualify. The Small Donations Scheme covers cash gifts of £20 or less without formal declarations.
What is the CASC asset lock?
CASC registration permanently locks club assets for community sporting purposes. On winding up, remaining assets pass to another CASC or charity. Members lose any right to share in assets.
When is a trading subsidiary needed?
If non-member trading exceeds £50,000, all trading profit becomes taxable. A subsidiary earns the income separately and donates profits to the parent CASC via Gift Aid, eliminating the charge.
Can ABM support sports clubs nationwide?
Yes. ABM Chartered Accountants serves sports clubs across England using secure cloud-based platforms, delivering specialist accounting to CASCs, members clubs and multi-sport organisations.
