| Gift Aid Transitional Relief |
Charities are entitled to claim a tax repayment in respect of
gift aid donations made by individuals. The tax repayment was 22%
until 5 April 2008 being the basic rate of tax on payments made
through gift aid. As you are no doubt aware the basic rate of tax
was reduced to 20% from the beginning of this tax year. In order
to compensate charities for this drop in income the government
has introduced Gift Aid Transitional Relief which tops up the tax
repayment due to the charity until 5 April 2011.
