Exempt Charities
Some bodies with charitable objects but which are not charities are not subject to registration with the Charity Commission and are known as exempt charities; these organisations are specified in Schedule 2 to the Charities Act 1993. The same Act also prevents such a body from being described as a "charity" but allows them similar financial and taxation benefits.
