Detail of outcome

This document summarises the responses received to the consultation on Simplifying the Gift Aid donor benefits rules, and sets out the government’s response and how it intends to proceed.

The underlying policy intention of these reforms remains simplification. The government hopes that the proposed reforms will make it easier to claim Gift Aid on eligible donations and so increase the overall number and value of eligible claims.
