Not for Profit organisation in the UK.

[Teachy]

What is the name of your state? -- London, United Kingdom.

Good afternoon, I hope you can help.
We are a not-for-profit organisation within the United Kingdom, and wondered whether a not for profit organisation needed to be "registered" in any way?
The organisation would take no monies for it's services, but we do welcome Donations via Paypal.
The reason I ask, is that on searching for "not for profit organisation" I came across quite a few sites that said things like: "an IRS 501(c)(3) tax-exempt corporation." with a link to: http://www.guidestar.org/search/report/gs_report.jsp?ein=74-3033697 (This seems to be a United States thing, though).

Also, when receiving Donations via Paypal into the UK, would tax need to be payed on such donations? I contacted PayPal, but they were unable to comment and suggested asking on a Forum such as this.

Any help you can provide would be greatly appreciated.

Regards,

And don't they have better looking font styles in the UK?

Hi there,

I did see that, but thought someone might know. No problem if not.
As for the font, it's personal preference, I'm sure you can override it.

And how do you like THIS font:

Hello? Did anyone bother reading what I said in the last post...

I have to say this is the most unfriendly, and unhelpful forum I've yet to visit. I was well aware, and said in the last post "I did see that, but thought someone might know. No problem if not. ", take a chill pill.

No one CAN help you - YOU LIVE IN THE U.K.!!! That's not unhelpful, it's your fault you didn't read the rules of the forum properly!

Jeez. Unhelpful??? What are you basing this on - this website is very helpful.
