<DIV>Hi Gary (and others)</DIV>
<DIV>From memory, I believe there is a statutory reduction of 75% and a discretionary relief (dependent of course on your own local authority) of the final 25% this is for <U>registered charities </U>not sure if it applies to organisations for example with 'charitable aims' etc.</DIV>
<DIV>Maybe someone else from the list can clarify this further, I hope this is of some use meanwhile.</DIV>
