Extract

In September, the Office of the Third Sector (OTS) and the Charity Commission launched a joint consultation on the detail of the new Charitable Incorporated Organisations (CIOs), a corporate structure envisaged under the Charities Act 2006. CIOs will be registered with and regulated by the Charity Commission and will offer charities an alternative to incorporation under company law, thereby avoiding dual regulation by the Commission and by Companies House.

1 SI/1996/180. ‘Excepted charities’ are excepted from the requirement to register with the Charity Commission but, in most other respects, are fully within its jurisdiction. Currently, no charity is required to be registered in respect of any registered place of worship.

2 That is, those charities exempt from the supervision of the Commission under Schedule 2 to the Charities Act 1993, as amended; they include the Church Commissioners, the Representative Body of the Church in Wales and property within the terms of the Church Funds Investment Measure 1958.
