What can gift aid be claimed on?
Gift Aid can be claimed on donations of money made by UK income taxpayers. It is an easy way to help us maximise the value of donations at no extra cost to you.
It can however only be claimed on donations rather than payment for tickets, goods and services.
You cannot claim Gift Aid on:
- payments for goods and services
- donations of money from a company
- gifts made on behalf of other people
- gifts that come with a condition that the charity buys goods or services from the donor
- payments received in return for goods or services for example admission to a concert
- a ‘minimum donation’ where there is no choice about payment
- gifts made using ‘charity vouchers’ or ‘charity cheques.’
