At CTG, we are driven by a simple belief: charities exist to deliver public good, and the tax system should enable that, not stand in the way.
A fair, modern tax framework allows charities to keep more of their resources and direct them to the communities they serve. Because tax has a powerful multiplier effect, even small improvements can unlock significant impact, helping charities reach further, do more and build stronger, more resilient communities.
Our mission is grounded in the conviction that clarity, fairness and proportionate treatment are essential to a thriving charity sector. These principles shape how we work, how we advocate and how we collaborate with others. In a time of rising need and increasing financial pressure, our values guide our voice and our actions, ensuring everything we do supports charities to maximise their impact for public benefit.
Our values below reflect how these principles guide our work, our advocacy and our voice.
Empowering Charities Through Understanding
We believe that every charity, whatever its size or resources, should be able to navigate the tax landscape with confidence. Clarity, accessibility and honesty underpin our approach. When charities understand their tax position, they avoid unnecessary costs, make better decisions, and direct more of their income to what matters.
Championing Fairness in the Tax System
Charities deliver public benefit, yet the tax system too often fails to recognise their role. We believe the fiscal framework should support, not obstruct, charitable endeavour. Every pound lost to outdated rules or unintended consequences is a pound not spent on public good, and we challenge these inequities because fairness enables impact.
Working Together
Collaboration is a value CTG holds deeply. Change is best delivered when the voices and insights of many charities are brought together. We approach our work with humility: we do not claim to have all the answers, but we know the sector does. Partnership is essential to securing meaningful, lasting change for charities across the UK.
Being brave and innovative
The charity landscape evolves quickly, and tax policy must keep pace. We believe in challenging assumptions and seeking practical solutions. Innovation matters because even small improvements in tax policy can unlock transformative impact for thousands of charities.
