The Society of London Theatre & UK Theatre welcome the Government’s intention to exclude certain charitable memberships from the Digital Markets, Competition and Consumers Act (DMCCA), and its clarification that compliance with consumer law does not in itself prevent Gift Aid claims.
Hannah Essex, Co-CEO of SOLT & UK Theatre, said:
“The Government has listened to our concerns regarding the DMCCA with respect to charitable memberships and Gift Aid, and we welcome this decision to protect the activities of our charitable members.
“As today’s consultation outcome document recognises, cultural and heritage charities, including theatres, provide vital services that enrich communities across the country. We will continue to work closely with Government to ensure that the intention set out today is reflected in future legislation and guidance”.
