Welcome to HMRC Charities

The HMRC Charities web pages offer charities and Community Amateur Sports Clubs (CASCs) a single reference point for information about tax and VAT.

We also provide information on tax reliefs if you donate to charity - whether as an individual, a sole trader, a limited company or partnership.

There’s also information for employers about setting up and running a Payroll Giving scheme.

We've updated our guidance on Gift Aid. Go direct to our new-look area Gift Aid scheme for charities.

This will help your charity understand:

• how Gift Aid works
• Gift Aid rules in specific situations - for example if you’re holding a charity auction
• the rules around providing benefits to donors
• how to reclaim tax on Gift Aid and other income

There’s also updated guidance if you’re giving to charity through Gift Aid as an individual.

We’ve updated News and updates where you can now sign up to receive news as an RSS feed. By subscribing you’ll automatically be notified with the latest updates.

Look out for more changes to the look and feel of our content later in the year.
