There is no fixed term
during which contributions must be made
Tax may be recovered
retrospectively to 6 April 2000
All that is required is that the
donor must:
pay UK income tax or
capital gains tax, at any rate, at least equal to the amount of tax
being reclaimed
give offering through
offering envelopes or by banker's order or cheque to establish the
necessary audit trail
sign a Gift Aid
Declaration. This is a simple form which gives the name of the
congregation and the donor's name and address (including postcode).
The donor signs and dates the form under these words: "I want the
congregation to treat all donations I have made since 6th April
2000, and all donations I make from the date of this declaration
until I notify you otherwise, as Gift Aid donations."
