Press Release
Small Donation Bill 'too complicated' say Charities Aid Foundation
21 June 2012
The Charities Aid Foundation (CAF) has called on the government to introduce a complete overhaul of the Gift Aid scheme. Responding to today's publication of the Small Donations Bill, CAF said the government's proposals fell short of the action needed to bring Gift Aid into the 21st century.
CAF head of policy Hannah Terrey said:
"It is good that the government recognises that Gift Aid is too complicated, but the proposals it has published today are far too complex and unlikely to have a major impact on charity fundraising, particularly for small charities.
"The current Gift Aid scheme is outdated and needs to be simplified for donors and charities. We need a complete overhaul of Gift Aid to ensure it is fit for fundraising in the age of the internet and the Smartphone. We think a single Gift Aid registration scheme, based online, would cut form-filling and increase charities' incomes by hundreds of millions a year."
Under proposals contained in the Small Donations Bill, charities already making Gift Aid claims would be able to benefit from top-up payments through the Gift Aid Small Donations Scheme. Charities will be able to claim an extra 25% on donations of £20 or less (up to a total of £5,000 in donations).
