Consultation on future regulation of charities

Focus on how the system can be improved

The regulatory regime under which Isle of Man charities operate is the subject of a consultation launched by the Attorney General's Chambers.

Practical views from charities, trustees, professionals and members of the public are being sought on how the current system can be improved.

The consultation is part of Government's response to the recommendations of the Post-Legislative Scrutiny Committee, which reviewed how the Charities Registration and regulation Act 2019 is working in practice.

The focus will be on how the system can be improved to ensure it remains effective, proportionate and easy to operate, whilst managing the risk of charitable organisations that operate on the Island.

It asks for feedback on a number of key issues including what exemptions should apply to religious or ecclesiastical charities, and whether smaller charities should be subject to different regulatory requirements.

The consultation closes on Sunday 21 June.
