What is Retail Gift Aid?
If you’re a UK taxpayer, signing up to add Gift Aid to items you donate to our charity shops makes a huge difference. With Gift Aid added, we can claim an extra 25p for every £1 raised through sales of your donated items. This costs you nothing extra and comes from the government’s Gift Aid scheme for charities.
UK taxpayers pay income or capital gains tax so, when you donate goods to our shops and complete a Gift Aid ‘declaration’, we can claim that back on your items. This means we can do even more with your generous donation – all without you having to do any extra work!
To take part, the donor is required to be a UK taxpayer and must have paid a sufficient amount of tax to cover any Gift Aid claimed on their donations in each tax year (6th April one year to 5th April the following year).
when you sign up, you’ll be given a unique Donor ID number that we’ll use to label any items you donate to enable us to record their sales value.
you’ll be notified by email or letter of the total sales value of your items before any Gift Aid is claimed each year, giving you the opportunity to cancel your registration if your circumstances have changed – for example, if you are no longer a taxpayer or have paid insufficient tax to cover your Gift Aid claims.
Please visit our Gift Aid FAQs for more information.
