I don't know if you are able to shed any light on this?
I help run a website for a group of artists who collaborate on various projects. We are not a charity, infact we have no legal status as yet.
In order to help maintain website costs, flyer printing etc we would like to put up a donations button on the site to enable viewers to help ease the costs.
The site is strictly not for profit, the donations would simply be helping to fund the maintainance for the site. Any income would certainly be re-invested/spent and I can't imagine it topping a few hundred pounds per year. No-one is taking a wage from it.
We have a membership scheme and could limit people making donations to members only if that helps matters?
Is this legal?
Would we have to become a charity or Co-op or something?
How does it work with the tax office?
Any help would be really appreciated.
Cheers,
