HM Revenue & Customs (HMRC) last month began a consultation inviting comments on
the Gift Aid Small Donation Scheme. The scheme, announced in the 2011 Budget, will
from 2013 enable qualifying charities and Community Amateur Sports Clubs (CASCs)
to claim a top-up payment equivalent to Gift Aid on small cash donations.

The consultation is open to all charities and CASCs that make claims under Gift 
Aid and receive small donations of cash, particularly smaller charities. HMRC also
invites comments from these organisations’ agents, advisers, nominees and representative
bodies.

Responses to the consultation must be received by 25 May 2012.

to let charities and CASC staff and representatives discuss issues or raise questions
about the scheme with the HMRC Policy team.
