It must be borne in mind, Britain's chancellor of the exchequer told the House of Commons in his budget speech, that in every case exemption means a relief to A at the charge of B. This was, indeed, the heart of his case for taking away a tax break that benefited charities. William Gladstone failed in this attempt to end the exemption of charities from income tax in 1863. He would not have been surprised when his successor, George Osborne, last week backed down on a more modest attempt towards the same ends. But the British government is not the only one that charities have to worry about. In America historically generous tax incentives to donation are being questioned in a way not seen before. In hard times, it is not surprising that exchequers take an interest in such things.
