CTG responds to tax relief consultation
The Charity Tax Group has submitted a response to HM Treasury’s consultation on proposals for tax relief for museums and galleries putting on temporary and touring exhibitions. CTG’s response highlights the importance of making sure that the relief benefits all cultural organisations, creating a level playing field, and calls for clarification regarding what might or might not preclude an exhibition from being eligible for relief.
Apprenticeship Levy and Making Tax Digital webinars
CTG recently participated in two Government webinars: one on the Apprenticeship Levy, the other on Making Tax Digital proposals.

Brexit and Triggering Art. 50
A Divisional Court of Queen’s Bench has rejected the Government’s contention that it has the power under Crown Prerogative to trigger the process under Art. 50 of the Lisbon Treaty for the UK to withdraw from the European Union without the prior approval of Parliament. The Government has been given permission to appeal to the Supreme Court and a spokesman has stated the Government’s intention to do so.
