Fundraising tax evidence tool

Charity Gift Aid declaration checker

Use this before adding Gift Aid to donation pages, sponsorship forms, collection envelopes, CRM imports, or donation-platform exports. The checker estimates possible Gift Aid uplift and highlights evidence gaps, but it is not tax advice, legal advice, accounting advice, or an HMRC submission check.

Gift Aid contexts6Online donations, platforms, events, cash envelopes, CRM cleanup, and benefit-sensitive giving.
Evidence checks10Weighted around declarations, donor data, eligibility, records, claim route, reconciliation, and privacy.
Official sourceGOV.UK/HMRCLinks point to current public guidance and model declaration form pages.

What this checker should prevent

  • Adding a Gift Aid checkbox to a donation page without declaration wording, donor address fields, eligibility review, or record-retention ownership.
  • Submitting platform or CRM exports where declarations, donor tax wording, refunds, cancellations, ineligible payments, and claim records cannot be reconciled.
  • Counting possible uplift as income before finance has reviewed the claim route, donation eligibility, HMRC guidance, and accounting treatment.
  • Sending donor personal data through uncontrolled spreadsheets, email attachments, or personal drives during Gift Aid cleanup.
