What is Gift Aid?
Gift Aid is a tax relief allowing UK charities to reclaim an extra 25% in tax on every eligible donation made by a UK taxpayer.
The charity can claim an extra 25p for every £1 you donate. That's as long as you've paid the basic rate of tax and make the donation from your own funds. That means Gift Aid can increase the value of your donations by 25%, so you can give even more to the causes you care about.
Are my donations eligible for Gift Aid?
A charity can claim Gift Aid when you make a monetary donation from your own funds and have paid UK Income and/or Capital Gains Tax during that year. The amount of tax you pay needs to be at least equal to the value of Gift Aid the charity will claim on your donation(s).
If your circumstances change and you no longer pay enough tax, it's important to tell all the charities you support. If you don't tell them and they continue claiming Gift Aid, you'll need to pay any difference back to HMRC.
