Gift Aid FAQ's
Are my donations eligible?
Your donations will qualify for Gift Aid as long as they are not more than 4 times what you have paid in tax during that tax year (6 April to 5 April). The tax could have been paid in the UK on your income or capital gains.
Your donations must also be made from a personal bank or building society account. We cannot claim Gift Aid on donations from company accounts or the proceeds of a collection.
I am an intermediate, higher or additional-rate taxpayer, can I opt in to Gift Aid?
Yes, and you can claim back the difference between the tax you have paid on your donation and what we claimed in Gift Aid. To do this, please include all your Gift Aid donations on your Self-Assessment tax return or contact HMRC.
My home address, name, and/or tax circumstances have changed. What should I do?
