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.<\/p>\n
Gift Aid<\/strong> should not be claimed when:<\/p>\n Making a donation in return for tickets (raffles, events and auctions) or goods and services (including \u2018experience\u2019 days). This is because they are not \u2018freewill\u2019 gifts \u2013 you are getting something in return for your donation. If we decide a donation has been incorrectly marked as eligible for Gift Aid, we can\u2019t submit it. If you pay tax at the higher rate, you can reclaim tax relief on your gross donation at 20% (i.e. the difference between the higher rate of tax at 40% and the basic rate at 20%). Your MAD_-AID account keeps an accurate record of your donations to help you claim tax relief if you need to. Simply print out a copy of your donation history and attach it to your tax return.<\/p>\n The Gift Aid scheme is unique to the UK. If you are not a UK taxpayer, you can still make a donation through MAD_-AID, but your donation will not be eligible for Gift Aid.<\/p>\n A person living overseas can still claim Gift Aid provided that they are a UK taxpayer and can satisfy the Gift Aid declaration in the donation process.<\/p>\n If your donation isn\u2019t eligible for Gift Aid we\u2019ll still send it to your chosen charity, after deducting our 5% Gift Aid processing fee. But since over 85% of donations through MAD_-AID are eligible for Gift Aid, the charities we work with still raise more money with us.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" A guide to Gift Aid (UK only) What is Gift Aid?

\nMaking a donation on behalf of someone else or a group of people. For example, if a friend gives you \u00a310 which you donate to your Fundraising Page using your own card and details. Even if your friend is a UK taxpayer, the donation is not eligible because HMRC needs to know the details of the person actually contributing the funds.
\nMaking a donation on behalf of a company. You can only make Gift Aid declarations on your own taxpayer status when spending your own money. However, a company can claim tax relief on the donation when donating directly to the charity.
\nMaking a donation to a family member who\u2019s taking part in an event and their charity is contributing to the cost. For example, if you\u2019re donating to a close family member who is doing an overseas trek and the charity is paying for the cost of their trip.
