Donations prior to charitable status and Gift Aid

Donations prior to charitable status and Gift Aid

Didn't find your answer?

Mid last year an association was set up by a village to erect a war memorial. Money was donated and the association has just this month been granted charitable status.

Can Gift Aid be claimed on the donations given pre registration as a charity?

Thanks

Effective Date

HMRC will give you an "effective date" from when you are recognised as a charity, and from that date on claims can be made.

See www.hmrc.gov.uk/charities/tax/recognition.htm
