The Trust sought permission from the commission to amend its governing document to enable its Chief Executives to join the trustee body and receive remuneration. The commission had approved the appointment of the incumbent Chief Executive to the Trustee body but rejected the application on the basis that the commission would review the situation with every future appointment as and when it occurred.
The Trust requested a review of the commission’s decision on the grounds that they felt their tax exposure would be prohibitive.
Following the review, the commission granted permission to the Trust (under Section 198 of the Charities Act 2011) to amend its governing document to include the provision that the Chief Executive be part of the trustee body and receive remuneration.
