FINANCIAL REVIEW
Financial position and future plans
The Trustees report an overall deficit for the year amounting to £34,887 (2023: Profit of £33,402).
The principalsourceof fundingis subscriptionincome,whichincreasedby 2.7%(2023:increasedby 4.0%). We
are constantlyendeavouringto maintainand ideallyimproveour collectionrate, however,as expectedthis has
become more difficult during recent years.
Once again, a numberof memberswere unable to pay their subscriptionsin full during the year due to adverse
personalcircumstances.TheSynagogue'spolicyforcollectingsubscriptionswherewearemadeaware of
circumstances of financial difficulty, is that we are as helpful as we can be.
MostmemberspaytheirsubscriptionsthroughGiftAid.Weareawarethatmemberswhoarehigher rate
taxpayerscouldrecovermoretaxthanstandardratetaxpayers.Thisgivesrisetoananomalythat members,
whomightbepresumedtobebetteroff,enduppayingless.Wecontinuetoaddressthisanomalyby asking
higherratetaxpayerstopayasubscriptiondonationthat,aftertherecoveryoftax,meansthatthey and
standard rate taxpayers pay the same net amount.
At the 2024 AGM, it was resolved that Nagler Simmons be reappointed auditors on a fee-paying basis.
