FN-FORUM: Accepting donations on a website - legal/tax question

date posted 22nd August 2007 16:56

Hi,

One of my clients has just asked me what they should be doing for
accepting donations for access to a website, the donations are there to
keep the site running, and any excess will be used to part pay for
nights out/events. They want to know what they need to do from a
legal/taxman point of view. They are not a company just a group of
friends (a rugby team to be precise) so there's no accounting or
anything available to run this through.

The donations will be via a paypal button on the website.

Anyone set-up or advised on this sort of thing before?

Thanks

Martin
