Donation Receipt FAQ

What must a donation receipt include for Gift Aid?

A Gift Aid donation receipt must include your charity name and registration number, the donor's full name and address, the donation amount, date received, and a statement that it is a Gift Aid donation. The donor must have paid enough UK tax to cover the Gift Aid claim.

Do charities need to issue receipts for every donation?

While not legally required for all donations, it is best practice and essential for Gift Aid claims. Receipts help donors with their own tax records and demonstrate your charity's transparency and accountability.

How long must charities keep donation records?

Charities must keep records of Gift Aid donations for at least 6 years from the end of the accounting period. General donation records should be kept for at least 6 years to satisfy Charity Commission requirements.

Can I issue a receipt for in-kind donations?

Yes, you should issue receipts for in-kind donations describing the items received and their estimated fair market value. Do not include a monetary value unless the items have been professionally valued.
