“Community trusts don't have to pay income tax on their earnings”

If you are a trustee of a community trust, you don’t have to pay income tax on any money the trust earns. The government says this money is exempt, which means it’s free from tax. This rule helps community trusts keep more of their money to use for good things in their area.
