What Is Gift Aid 

'Gift aid is tax relief on money donated to UK charities. We treat donations as if the donor had already deducted basic rate tax from them. The charity can then reclaim this tax to increase the value of a donation.'

Gift aid rules

  • Donors must pay enough UK income tax and/or capital gains tax themselves to cover the amount of tax the charity will reclaim
  • Give the charity a gift aid declaration, which should include - their name - their home address - their signature - the charity’s name - details of the donation – stating that it is a gift aid donation
  • Confirmation that they have paid UK tax – to cover the tax the charity will reclaim.
