  • When can’t we claim Gift Aid?

    When you are making a donation on behalf of someone or a group of people. For example, if a friend gives you £10 which you donate 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.


    When you are making a donation on behalf of a company. You can only make Gift Aid declaration 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.


    When you are making a donation to a family member who is taking part in an event and their charity is contributing to the cost. For example, if you are donating to a close family member who is doing an overseas trek and the charity is paying for the cost of their trip.
