What is Gift Aid?

The Gift Aid scheme allows charities to reclaim the tax on donations you make, without it costing you a penny more. Gift Aid adds 25p for every £1 you donate. You must be a UK tax-payer and have paid sufficient income tax or capital gains tax on the donations to charities you’ve made so it covers the tax that will be reclaimed on your donations for each tax year (6 April to 5 April). You can read more about the Gift Aid scheme here.
