Frequently Asked Questions

When is the deadline?

+

April 5th. Donations made by this date count for the current tax year. You can also carry back Gift Aid to the previous year if your Self Assessment is not yet filed.

Can I carry back my donation?

+

Yes — you can elect to treat a donation as if made in the previous tax year. Useful if you paid more tax last year.
