Question to the HM Treasury:

To ask the Chancellor of the Exchequer, whether his Department plans to take steps to modernise the process for charities claiming Gift Aid on donations.

The Government recognises the vitally important work the charity sector does in the UK, which is why we currently provide tax relief to charities and their donors worth over £5 billion per year, including over £1.3 billion in Gift Aid.

HMRC keeps under review all of the processes involved for claiming Gift Aid so that it remains accessible to the charitable sector, as well as their donors.
