7 reasons to claim every penny of Gift Aid
Every £1 donated by a UK taxpayer with a Gift Aid declaration is worth 25p more to your charity, but only if the declaration is valid, the donation is claimed on time and HMRC actually pays. This tracker keeps donors, declarations, claims and your charity's accounts in one workbook, so you always know what to claim next.
- Excel & Google Sheets, no macros
- Example + blank file
- Start-here guide
