CAF COMPANY ACCOUNT FEES

The fee structure on a CAF Company Account is split in two:

CAF CONTRIBUTION

We deduct a contribution from each donation into a CAF Company Account to support our work and grant making activities. The contribution is taken when funds are deposited in line with the bands outlined below.

Please note that this contribution includes your account administration costs which are inclusive of VAT.

If during the CAF financial year (1 May to 30 April), no payments have been made into the CAF Company Account (or if cumulative payments have not met the minimum threshold necessary to generate the minimum CAF contribution of £300) the £300 minimum CAF contribution (or the outstanding amount if some contributions have been paid) will be deducted from the CAF Company Account at the end of the CAF financial year.

NCVO CONTRIBUTIONS

We are obliged to take a contribution from each donation into a CAF Company Account to support the work of our founder, the National Council for Voluntary Organisations.

EXCEPTIONS

CAF and NCVO contributions will not be taken from CAF Company Accounts that are:

  • solely used to hold funds relating to fees and/or matching payments for CAF services
  • solely funded by transfers from another CAF Company Account held by your organisation

CAF and NCVO contributions are based on the value of payments into the CAF Company Account during the CAF financial year.

Please note: The bands for the CAF Company Account fee contributions are indexed annually on 1 May according to the Retail Prices Index.

PAYMENTS TO NON-UK CHARITIES
