Cleaford Services Ltd updated their Gift Aid Tax Service (GATS) to version 3.7 to
accommodate the new R68 Claim Schedule being introduced by HMRC. The GATS R68 Schedule
has been approved by HMRC: the old style of R68 forms will not be accepted by HMRC
after December 2007, so Cleaford is urging client charities to upgrade by November.

GATS has been used by over 400 churches and charities since the current system was
introduced in 2000.

As well as help files explaining the new accounting period procedure which must 
be followed for Gift Aid claims, Cleaford Services are also offering a service whereby
their technicians can log on to a customer’s PC (with permission!) to install the
software and give a short, live, on screen introduction to its use.

Cleaford can also connect in order to install the upgrade for existing users, and
explain the changes, or to give more generalised help on the software.
