Description

The Gift Aid add-on adds a declaration box to the GiveWP donation form, recording the donor’s UK taxpayer status and marking each eligible contribution to claim the additional 25% from HMRC. Intended for NGOs, religious institutions, and registered charities in the United Kingdom, the add-on keeps dedicated reporting for Gift Aid donations, exportable for tax filing and accounting audit.

Gift Aid Benefits

    Allows the institution to recover tax paid by the UK donor on each eligible amount.
  • HMRC compliance
    Ensures collection of required fields for correct submission of the tax claim.
  • Transparency for the donor

Who Is It For?

  • NGOs and charities registered in the United Kingdom that collect donations through GiveWP.
  • Religious institutions, missions, and UK-based foundations that receive recurring contributions.
  • Fundraising teams that need to maximize collections by claiming tax credit with HMRC.

In the UK nonprofit organization fundraising flow, Gift Aid positions itself as GiveWP’s accounting component, linking the act of donating to the tax recovery process. By consolidating declaration, donor data, and tax reporting in one place, it eliminates parallel spreadsheets and reduces the risk of errors in reporting to the UK tax authority.
