- Affirmed
“Based on the work we have performed, we have not identified any material uncertainties relating to events or conditions that, individually or collectively, may cast significant doubt on the charity's ability to continue as a going concern for a period of at least twelve months from when the original financial statements were authorised for issue.”
Significant events
- “Following the Upper Tribunal's decision in Yorkshire Agricultural Society to allow their supplies of admission to the show as exempt from Value Added Tax (VAT), the VAT returns from March 2021 to January 2025 have been recalculated taking into consideration partial exemption resulting in an overpayment of £60,392.”
