Gift Aid and digital giving consultation closes this month
Howard Lake | 10 September 2013 | News
Responses to the government's consultation on Gift Aid and digital giving are due by 20 September.
The 54-page consultation paper was published in July 2013. It looks at how the levels of Gift Aid take up can be increased when people give online, via mobile or via text. It also looks at other improvements to Gift Aid, including the wording of the Gift Aid declaration, and the idea of a database of universal Gift Aid declarations.
HM Treasury and HMRC staff have held a series of consultation meetings over the summer to explore these issues.

These proposed reforms are in addition to recent improvements such as Gift Aid Small Donations Scheme, Gift Aid Online, and the simplification of rules for charity shops who claim Gift Aid on donations from the sale of goods.
Responses should be sent by 20 September via email to HM Treasury or to
