Arts & charity
The Aspex Shop: Aspex Visual Arts Trust Limited is the charitable operator identified in the reviewed disclosures. [1][2][3]
01 / Behind the name
Charity · governed by trustees [1][2][3]
This is the Portsmouth gallery shop supporting Aspex’s charitable work, rather than the similarly named eyewear business. Trustees govern the charity; it does not have a conventional shareholder parent. Charity status alone is not used to infer a zero cash-tax payment. [1][2][3]
02 / On the map
Headquarters, incorporation and tax residence describe different things. A headquarters address does not tell you where all of a company’s tax is paid.

Collective or public ownership
The existing sourced profile describes charity · governed by trustees. A conventional external shareholder list has not been established. A stake in a parent or operating company is shown against that entity. Dates refer to each disclosure and can differ from the profile review date. Evidence links are included with each record.
03 / The figures, with context
The filed charity accounts contain a statement of financial activities, balance sheet and notes, but no separately disclosed cash corporation-tax payment. Charitable status and the absence of a payment line are not treated as proof of zero tax for every shop activity.
