The Small Charitable Donations Bill will introduce the Gift Aid Small Donations Scheme (GASDS) – a new scheme that will enable charities and community amateur sports clubs (CASCs) to claim Gift Aid style payments on the small donations they receive where it is difficult to get a Gift Aid declaration.
Charities and CASCs will be able to claim a top up payment on small donations of up to £20, up to a total of £5,000 of small donations per year, so qualifying charities and CASCs will be able to claim up to £1,250 in payments each year. It is estimated that this scheme, announced at Budget 2011, will lead to an extra £100 million a year in Government funding for charities by 2015-16. The scheme will commence in April 2013.
Simon Jackson, Trustee of two charities: Some general feedback on the website. I am afraid it is not very easy to use. Every time I enter a comment on a section and hit "Post Comment" I am returned to the start of the legislation and have to scroll down to where I was. This gets rather tedious when you comment more than a couple of times.
