Gift Aid

How do I know if I’m a UK taxpayer?

For a charity to receive Gift Aid, you need to have paid at least the same amount of capital or income tax as the amount your charity would want to claim in Gift Aid. For example, if you wanted to boost a £10 donation through Gift Aid, you must have paid at least £2.50 in tax that year.

When shouldn’t I tick the Gift Aid box?

Gift Aid cannot be claimed on donations that are funds that have been raised by (for example) a bake sale. The money must be your own.

You also can’t make a donation on behalf of someone else. If you are given the donation by someone, and you use your own details (bank details etc) to submit it, it cannot be accepted, even if they are a UK taxpayer.

Is it worth it?

100% yes! We can’t tick the box for you, but when you do we’ll process everything and won’t charge the charity or fundraiser to receive the Gift Aid.
