Per its FY2022 accounts as filed with the Charity Commission.
Related-party transaction: The document discloses payments to the vicar for expenses, but Rule 6b specifies that reimbursement of out-of-pocket expenses alone is NOT a trustee payment. It does not explicitly state the vicar is a related party in the context of a transaction with a connected business or remuneration beyond expense reimbursement. However, Note 10 states 'Expenses totalling 241 7 (2021: 2307) were paid to the vicar'. The vicar is a PCC member. But Rule 6b says 'present=false' for reimbursement. Rule 6 asks for 'disclosed related-party transactions'. Usually, expense reimbursement to a trustee is a related party transaction. Let's look at the definition. 'who, what, amount'. Who: Vicar. What: Expense reimbursement. Amount: £2417. Is this a 'related party transaction'? Yes. But Rule 6b is a specific flag for 'trustee_payments' defined as remuneration. Rule 6 is 'related_party_flags'. I will include it if it fits 'transaction'. The prompt says 'One entry per disclosed transaction'. Reimbursement is a transaction. However, often 'related party' implies more than just expense reimbursement. Let's look at the text. 'Expenses totalling 241 7 ... were paid to the vicar'. I will include it as a related party transaction because it is a payment to a PCC member (trustee).
Expenses totalling 241 7 (2021: 2307) were paid to the vicar during the year, to reimburse expenses incurred. — page 13
