Well 20% of that £45 immediately goes to HMRC in VAT so that's £9 accounted for, add on the cost of the shirt which will be about £25 so that's £34 so £11 to share between the club and the chairty, given that the club will give the £5 for every shirt sold no matter whether they break even or not. Or were you just wanting to point a sticky finger and complain that you don't think its enough of a donation?

The £45 is already VAT included so the HMRC share would be £7.50. Cost of the shirt would be £15-£17 (and they wonder why we get crap from ISC!). Assuming £17 then there is £20 "profit" in that shirt. £5 to the charity = £15 for the club. BUT, as you pointed out, the charity is getting £5 it wouldnt get without the sale (and I assume that the club could gift-aid their "donation" giving the charity a little bit extra).

I don't know where you've plucked these figures from but VAT is at 20%, so its £9 to the tax man. The cost of the shirt isn't £15-17 at all, its £20-25 depending on size, style and make, and gift aid is for UK taxpayers not businesses.

If the applicable VAT rate is 20% the ex-VAT cost will be £37.50 with VAT at £7.50 surely?

7.5/37.5 = 0.2

It's not enough of a donation. I think it's a bit of a disgrace really. When you say the shirt costs £25, I take it you mean this is the cost from ISC. I don't known if this is true or not but the actual price to manufacture should be a lot lower than this especially for the training top, which would mean ISC are making a good profit out of it. Are any of the sponsors that have their names plastered in the shirt making any kind of donation?

At the very least, when organisations are raising money for charity then they should also show a break down of where all of the costs go and if someones profiting from it they should be brought to task..

How many shirts are they expecting to sell? It can't be more than a few hundred judging by what I've seen at matches and in and around town. At a fiver a go, we can't be raising that much from shirt sales.
