Description
Consultation on “Draft supplementary guidance on public benefit and fee-charging”: IET comments to the Charity Commission Direct.
Abstract
Further clarity is needed in respect of charges made for Learned Society publications, for example research journals. These appear to be outside the scope of this guidance based on the same rationale as membership fees of a professional body. When assessing the public benefit of fee-charging charities a more holistic view of their activities and any fees charged needs to be recognised in order to balance cash-generating and cash-absorbing portfolios of activity.
