Response to the Consultation on a Registration Threshold for Charities in Northern Ireland
Date published:
The Charities Act (Northern Ireland) 2022 (the 2022 Act) allowed for the implementation of a registration threshold below which charities in Northern Ireland would not be required to register with or report to the Charity Commission for Northern Ireland.
A 12-week public consultation was held between 20 May 2024 to 11 August 2024. The results of the consultation showed that over two thirds of respondents believed that the registration threshold should include both an income and assets element. All results from the consultation are included in the Departmental response document below.
Regulations for a £20k income and £100k asset threshold below which charities in Northern Ireland will not be required to register with or report to the Charity Commission for Northern Ireland will be introduced in Autumn 2025.
