Examples of primary-purpose trading are:
It is conceivable that HMRC will seek to charge tax on a trading activity which, while it might be considered to be a charitable activity, is actually undertaken by a charity that does not have the power to conduct such activities.
Ancillary primary-purpose activities are those which are so closely aligned to the main trade that it is accepted that they are themselves of a primary purpose: for example, the sale of food and drink in a restaurant or bar by a theatre charity to members of the audience.
For more information, see HMRC’s guidance on charities and trading.
