Gift Aid Registration of School Accounts

Following recent changes to HMRC regulations schools can no longer be registered for charitable status.
As a result, gift aid can not be claimed on donations paid in to the school fund account.

PTA and Friends can be registered for charitable status, allowing them to claim gift aid on qualifying donations.
If you require assistance with the gift aid registration process, please contact your Finance Support Officer for further information. Details of price available on request.
