Take the stress out of Gift Aid claims<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

F.A.Q<\/h1>\n\n\n\n

What the Gift Aid Submission Tool does<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Gift Aid boosts eligible donations by up to 25%, but the process of preparing and submitting claims can be time-consuming and error-prone. This tool automates the heavy lifting: it checks your data for issues, highlights missing or ineligible records, and generates an HMRC-ready file you can use straight away.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\n\n\n\n

How it works<\/h3>\n\n\n\n
\n
\n

1. Upload your donation data (from CRM export, CSV, Excel, or supported systems)<\/h4>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n
\n

2. The tool validates records, flags errors, and shows what needs attention<\/h4>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n
\n

3. Generate a properly formatted HMRC Gift Aid submission file<\/h4>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n
\n

4. Submit via HMRC Charities Online or your usual submission workflow<\/h4>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n

No fiddly formatting, no manual error checks \u2014 just cleaner data and a file that meets HMRC requirements.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\n\n\n\n

What you get<\/h3>\n\n\n\n
