It is not possible to determine how many sports clubs could be eligible for participation in the Community Amateur Sports Clubs (CASC) scheme. Neither do Her Majesty's Revenue and Customs (HMRC), who administer the scheme, separately identify CASCs by local authority area. A list of registered clubs, and their addresses, is published on the HMRC website at:
www.hmrc.gov.uk/casc/
and is updated on a monthly basis.
To the 5 October 2009, 5456 clubs had registered as CASCs. The yearly breakdown since the scheme was introduced is in the following table.
