sector bodies demand clear timetable on Gift Aid reform

Acevo and the Institute of Fundraising are urging the Treasury to set clear proposals and a straightforward timetable for Gift Aid reform ahead of a forthcoming forum with third sector organisations.

The two bodies have called upon the Treasury to limit the number of options for reform to the three discussed in their research report rather than adopting an 'open-to-all-options' policy. The research results examined the options of transferring tax relief from high-earning donors to charities or introducing a composite rate of Gift Aid at either 30% or 37% to cover donations from all UK taxpayers.
