Charitable donations

Donations to UK charities qualify for Gift Aid; higher-rate payers get extra relief.

Cash donations to UK-registered charities qualify for Gift Aid — the charity reclaims 25p per £1 from HMRC. If you're a higher-rate (40%) or additional-rate (45%) taxpayer, you can claim back the difference between basic rate and your top rate via Self Assessment.
