Question to the HM Treasury:

To ask the Chancellor of the Exchequer, what fiscal steps her Department is taking to help encourage charitable donations.

To encourage charitable donations, the Government allows charities and their donors to claim tax reliefs across several different tax heads and exemptions, including VAT, Inheritance Tax, Stamp Duty, and Business Rates. Charities can also claim Gift Aid of 25p for every £1 of eligible donations made by UK taxpayers.
