Trade unions are usually non profit orgainsation where the contributors and participators are common. Therefore the income or surplus if any will not be brought to tax. However, they need to maintain accounts and get them audited.

Donations collected with with specific condition that the donation should form part of the Corppus of the Union is exempt.
