Gift Aid was introduced by the Government in 1990 and revised in April 2000; it allows charities to reclaim tax on your donations. This is a valuable way of raising income especially as most people pay tax. For example, it allows a donation of £10.00 from you to the CWUHA, to be worth £12.80* approx. The charity does all the work and the only requirement is that you are paying tax at the basic rate. We claim the money back from the Inland Revenue. It doesn’t mean you have to pay extra tax or fill in any additional tax forms. So you will see that this is a simple way of your donation being worth more
