Charities Act 2006 implementation
An implementation plan for the Charities Act 2006 was first published in December 2006, setting out when the various provisions of the Act will be commenced. The implementation plan was updated in November 2007 to reflect the latest position.
Latest position (01 April 2008): The Charity Tribunal was brought into force on 18 March 2008. The fourth commencement order has been made to bring in the statutory definition of charity on 1 April 2008 along with group accounts and whistle-blowing provisions. The consultation on the secondary legislation needed to support the implementation of the Charitable Incorporated Organisation (CIO) is not now expected to be published until Summer 2008.
