    committee personally liable

    • Marc works through Marc Tamlyn Ltd, wholly owned
    private company

    • Ken & Diana have varying relationships with different
    organisations

    View Slide

  14. Options
    • Employed individual staff in dozens of places

    • Supply and service agreement with MTLtd

    • Incorporated organisation employing staff

    View Slide

  15. Company Limited by
    Guarantee
    • Companies are usually limited by shares

    • Limited by Guarantee is owner by the membership

    • Usually max liability £1 per member

    • Registered with Companies House, has directors and
    accounts

    • Are a genuine business so can employ staff, sign
    contracts, own property

    View Slide

  16. Company Limited by
    Guarantee
    • GNAS is a company limited by guarantee

    • Several other archery clubs, such as DPA, Guildford,
    Ballands

    • Often done in non-trading mode so there is a legal entity
    to own land and equipment

    View Slide

  17. Community Amateur
    Sports Club (CASC)
    • Special kind of Company Limited by Guarantee

    • Imposes restrictions on various aspects of the
    organisation of the club

    • Gives certain benefits

    • Unusual in archery, but quite common in other sports
    such as cricket and rowing

    View Slide

  18. CASC requirements
    • Be open to the whole community - max limit on
    membership fees (£31/week)

    • Be amateur - max £10,000/year payments to players

    • Main purpose promoting an eligible sport

    • Income limit of £100,000 (can have trading subsidiary)

    • Managed by fit and proper persons (like a charity)

    • Participation

    View Slide

  19. CASC benefits
    • Exempt from corporation tax on trading profits if turnover under
    £50,000

    • Last year our total turnover was around £15,000.

    • No VAT until trading turnover exceeds £85,000

    • Only "trading income" is taxable

    • Gift aid on donations (not membership)

    • Trading subsidiary can be a full business owned by the club which
    gift aids its profits to the club. Would probably do this when nearing
    the VAT limit, but would then need two lots of accounts/directors

    View Slide

  20. Trading income
    • Income from membership is considered separately to
    income from non-members

    • Trading income would cover schools, have a gos,
    beginners courses, tournaments, guest fees etc

    • Membership fees, club stash for members, members
    cash handled for external competition entry etc are not
    included

    • Only trading income is taxable, but all income must be
    accounted for

    View Slide

  21. Financial implications
    • Cost to set up a company - £10-15

    • Formal accounts will need to be prepared annually and submitted
    to Companies House, ~£600/year

    • Additional insurance may be needed for some groups, probably
    £200-300/year

    • Expenses for marketing activities & admin

    • Costs of operating payroll

    • No changes to bank account fees, but we will have to get a new
