About Gift Aid

How does Gift Aid work?

When you donate to a UK registered charity and complete a Gift Aid declaration, the charity can reclaim 25p for every £1 you donate from HMRC. This means a £100 donation becomes £125 for the charity. You must be a UK taxpayer and have paid at least as much income tax as the charity will reclaim.

How do higher rate taxpayers claim extra Gift Aid relief?

Basic rate tax has already been accounted for in the Gift Aid top-up. Higher rate taxpayers (40%) can claim an additional 20% relief and additional rate taxpayers (45%) can claim 25% through their Self Assessment tax return. This is claimed on the total grossed-up donation amount.

What is the grossed-up donation value?

The grossed-up value is your donation multiplied by 100/80 = 1.25. On a £100 donation, the grossed-up value is £125. The charity claims 20% of £125 = £25 from HMRC. Higher rate taxpayers can claim the difference between their rate and basic rate on £125.
