Donations from non UK taxpayers can't be included in regular Gift Aid repayment claims, but can be eligible for the Gift Aid Small Donations Scheme (GASDS). See below for more information on this.
Other good reasons for keeping records from non-taxpayers include completeness, issuing thank-you letters, analysis and so on.
Fund Filer has special functionality for adding non tax paid donations to GASDS while preserving giving details of specific individuals.
The system keeps a continued lookout for donation records which look as though they may be eligible for GASDS. These are records from donors who are not marked up for Gift Aid, have been made via cash, envelopes or contactless and are of £30 value or less.
Adding these donations to your GASDS total is optional and will depend on how much has already been claimed or other special circumstances that Fund Filer might not be aware of. With envelope donations, for example, only cash can be included in GASDS, not cheques.
If you do not wish to add any records, simply ignore the invitation when offered. However, if you do wish to add these to your GASDS total, there are two ways of doing so:
- From the GASDS page
- If any potential GASDS-eligible donations are seen, Fund Filer notifies you of these via an alert box: ‘Add further donations to GASDS’ at the foot of the page. (scroll down if necessary).
- When creating a repayment claim
- As above, if any potential GASDS-eligible donations are seen, Fund Filer notifies you, but this time the alert box is at the top of the ‘Repayment Claim Preview’ page.
In both cases, select ‘view them here’. A new page appears listing any eligible donations as a summary total by donor. To view the underlying donations making up the total, select the link at the far right of the row.
A table showing GASDS totals to date for qualifying years also appears.
Select any donors you wish to add via the tick box to the far left of each row and select ‘add to GASDS’ to complete the task. These totals will be included in the next repayment claim.
