The importance of using Gift Aid for tax-free charitable donations

Ross Palmer, senior tax manager at Sayer Vincent, explains the tax benefits of charitable donations to mark Gift Aid Awareness Day on 6 October, organised by Charity Finance Group (CFG)

This year’s #TickTheBox campaign will focus on the value of Gift Aid and charities will be invited to share across their social media, website and newsletters the impact that Gift Aid has on the people and communities they serve.

Gift Aid is an incredibly important source of additional income and something charities need to always remind their donors how it can boost their donations.

The Charities Aid Foundation (CAF) published research earlier this year that warned that charities are missing out on hundreds of millions of pounds because 23% of eligible donors do not use Gift Aid.
