Income size is based on annual receipts. Figures are computed based on the annual returns submitted for financial years ending in 2013. It is a regulatory requirement for charities to submit their annual returns within 6 months of the close of their financial year. The financial periods of charities may vary, depending on the operational needs of the organisations.
