Arts: Charitable Donations

Mr. Vaizey
To ask the Secretary of State for Culture, Media and Sport what steps have been taken to make arts institutions aware of the tax incentives available to private donors.

Mr. Lammy
Arts and Business, funded by my Department through Arts Council England, has promoted the tax incentives available to private donors through training for arts institutions and through their 2006 ‘Individual Giving Manual’ publication. My Department is also working with Arts and Business on a tax guide for arts institutions, which will include updated information following the changes announced in the last budget.
