United Kingdom
In the United Kingdom the key mark of charitable status is to be a "Registered Charity"; other organizations should not describe themselves as charities, unless they are below the size limit. The registers are maintained by the Charity Commission for England and Wales and (for the moment) Northern Ireland, but for Scotland by the Office of the Scottish Charity Regulator. Organizations applying must meet the specific legal requirements summarized below, and have filing requirements with their regulator, and are subject to inspection or other forms of review.
