Hello Nice People,

My name is Iwona,  I'm new to this group and I thought maybe someone could give me some tips about my questions. I used to work as an accountant for trading companies in EU

 I never had anything in common with charities. I know the general rules and the charities don't pay any tax - in our particular case anyway;   about gift aid etc. 

But I have a couple of questions - are there any specific rules about invoices? 

Do we need to obtain an invoice as a must for a bigger amount? What would be a "bigger" amount of money? 

I know that quite often when we spend a few pounds on stamps, and stationery - the receipt from a till is enough and our claim form is need to be filled. 

My concerns have been raised recently when we had a Xmas lunch for our members. The person who organised that collected all money from the members and all of it went to our bank account. But the full amount of money she paid without an invoice to the pub - from her private bank account. She claimed the refund and received it already.

She looked at me very puzzled when I asked her about an invoice - it was almost eight hundred pounds.  

It would be very much appreciated if someone would help me with that.

Thank you in advance

Iwona
