The easiest way to claim Gift Aid on your donation in the UK, is to donate through Giving What We Can, where you can find Rethink Priorities as a donation option when selecting charities to support.

How Gift Aid works

• Eligibility: The donor must be a UK taxpayer and have paid enough Income Tax or Capital Gains Tax in that tax year to cover the amount of Gift Aid claimed on all their donations.
• Declaration: The donor makes a Gift Aid declaration to the charity, either verbally or in writing, confirming their eligibility and giving permission for the charity to claim Gift Aid.
• Donation: The donor makes a monetary gift to the charity, after which the charity claims the Gift Aid from HM Revenue & Customs (HMRC).
• Tax relief: HMRC pays the charity an additional 25% of the donation amount. For example, if a donor gives £100, the charity can claim an extra £25, making the total donation worth £125.
• Higher rate taxpayers: Donors who pay higher or additional rate tax can claim the difference between their tax rate and the basic rate on their donation. They do this through their Self-assessment tax return or by asking HMRC to amend their tax code.
• Restrictions: Gift Aid cannot be claimed on donations of money from companies, donations in exchange for goods or services, or donations made on someone else’s behalf.
