    Tax scandal threatens charity donations

    Regulator stands accused of cowardice and bringing the whole sector into disrepute

    The Charity Commission's handling of a high-profile tax-avoidance scandal that saw shockingly

    little donated money reach good causes has put charities at risk of losing the public's confidence -

    and consequently their money, one of the leading figures in the sector has warned.

    Sir Stuart Etherington, chief executive of the National Council for Voluntary Organisations

    (NCVO), the UK's largest charity association, said the regulator had brought charities into "disrepute"

    by failing to act over the controversy.

    The Cup Trust was exposed in January as giving only £55,000 to good causes despite raising £176m

    over two years as part of a scheme in which donors were suspected of claiming millions in tax relief

    through an abuse of the Gift Aid scheme. But after a 24-month investigation, the Charity Commission,

    chaired by William Shawcross, allowed the Cup Trust to remain on the charity register.
