Create and File Gift Aid claims and Track eligible donations alongside your giving records — so claiming is simpler and reporting is clearer.
UK-only feature
Gift Aid allows eligible UK charities to claim additional income on qualifying donations from HMRC. To claim, you need a valid declaration and clear donation records.
infoodle helps you:
Gift Aid works best when it’s connected to your donation records — not tracked separately in spreadsheets.
With infoodle you can:
This keeps eligibility clear and reduces manual admin.
Gift Aid allows UK charities to reclaim 25p for every £1 donated by a UK taxpayer, at no extra cost to the donor. The donor must have paid enough UK Income Tax or Capital Gains Tax to cover the amount being claimed.
To claim Gift Aid, your charity needs:
infoodle stores declarations against donor records, links them to eligible donations, and tracks which donations have already been claimed. This prevents accidental duplicate claims.
GASDS allows charities to claim a Gift Aid-style top-up on small cash and contactless donations, even without a declaration. This is particularly useful for collections taken at events, services or door-to-door.
Key GASDS rules to be aware of:
infoodle supports GASDS recording and helps you track limits at both organisation and building level to stay within the scheme’s rules.
Once your claim is prepared, infoodle gives you two options for submitting to HMRC: file directly from within the system, or download a formatted file to upload manually via the HMRC Charities Online portal. Both routes use the same underlying claim data and the choice depends on your preference.
You can file as frequently as you like. infoodle tracks which donations have been included in previous claims, so each submission only includes new eligible donations.
Each claim lists donations by declaration status. Export data to support internal review or submission processes.
Generate and email receipts and statements to donors detailing transactions and Gift Aid claimed amounts.
Gift Aid rules depend on donor circumstances. infoodle supports recordkeeping, filing and reporting.
HMRC requires that Gift Aid declarations are retained for at least four years after the most recent donation claimed under that declaration. infoodle stores declarations against individual donor records, including signed copies where collected digitally.
In the event of an HMRC compliance check, your records are all accessible in one place: declarations, donation amounts and claim history. This reduces the administrative effort of responding significantly.
