The charity taxation review consultation document includes a number of issues and
questions for consideration by the voluntary sector. 
The charity taxation review
consultation document includes a number of issues and questions for consideration
by the voluntary sector. It is encouraging that the impact of the Internet as a 
fundraising medium is included. For example, the document asks whether certification
via the Internet or the telephone might make Gift Aid more user-friendly and a more
popular method of giving.

You can read the consultation document at the Inland Revenue. Responses to the document
are invited before 31 August 1999. Prposals listed include:

 * reducing the Gift Aid threshold from £250 to £100 and allowing this to be paid
   in instalments, with effect from 1 January 2001
 * more flexible Payroll Giving scheme, allowing employers to distribute employees’
   donations directly to the charity, and the removal of the £1200 maximum limit
   for donations
 * a publicly-funded supplement adding 10% to payroll giving donations made over
   a set period
