2. Supply a return for a charitable street collection

Before giving your return please read our information about charitable street collections.

How to supply a return

Once you've carried out the street collection you'll need to give us a return giving an account of the monies raised. 

You'll need to do this within one month of the collection. 

You can give your return online. We'll need to know:

  • the name of the charity or fund which is to benefit
  • the place of collection
  • the proceeds of collection
  • expenses and application of proceeds

An accountant will need to give a certificate to confirm that the return is a true account of the collection.

Payments

There is no cost for giving the return.

When you have submitted the charitable collection return there is nothing else you need to do.
