Proposals for a temporary increase in the level of Gift Aid that can be claimed on donations are being put forward to Government by a coalition of charities and sector bodies. In their Gift Aid Emergency Relief briefing paper, the organisations are calling for the change to help charities facing income losses as a result of the pandemic. The proposed changes include an increase in the Gift Aid claimed on eligible donations, up to a third from the current one quarter. A £100 donation from a UK taxpayer would then be worth £133.33 to the charity once Gift Aid had been claimed.
