are you a regestered charity ? as i believe you collect money from people at various events, there are hundreds of people who give up time & money to look after neglected animals , i myself fund a small rescue , how does it improve the work you already do by becoming a regestered chairty ? the money needed to become one in my opinion is better spent on veterinary care and food. i take ferrets as when i can, i re home ferrets when i feel they are able to be moved on, but as for the inland revenue , that i dont understand, if i offer to look after a ladys two ferrets for a week while she enjoys a holliday should i be a business to do that & be vat regestered ? because last year i looked after 6 ferrets during the spring & summer, so do i have to declare it to the inland revenue ?
