What is Gift Aid and how does the Donation Station help collect it? 🔸Gift Aid is a UK tax scheme that allows charities to claim an extra 25% on donations made by UK taxpayers. This means that for every £10 donated, the charity can claim an additional £2.50 from HMRC.  🔸To claim Gift Aid you need to submit the Name and Address of the Donor in a set format directed by HMRC. You may decide to submit this on a yearly, or more frequent basis. 🔸When Gift Aid is activated on the Donation Station, it will gather all required information from your Donors. 🔸Currently, the Donation Station does not submit Gift Aid claims directly, meaning you will need to download Gift Aid reports on a regular basis from the GWD Customer Portal to use within your HMRC submission. #### 🔶 2. What if we are using GASDS? 🔸If you are using the GASDS scheme, you do not need to switch on the Gift Aid request on your Donation Station Pro. 🔸You can just download Donation Reports from the GWD Customer Portal in order to reconcile which donations you can claim GASDS on. i.e. All those under £30, up to a maximum of £2,000 per year.

How does the Donation Station collect Gift Aid? 🔸After the Donor has donated the Donation Station will ask if they would like to give Gift Aid with their donation. 🔸If the Donor agrees, the Donation Station will ask the Donor to declare they are a UK taxpayer. Once confirmed the Donor can enter their details.  ![donation-station-pro-09-Gift aid declaration](https://help.gwd.team/hs-fs/hubfs/DON%20Help%20Centre/Donor%20Journey%20Images/donation-station-pro-09-Gift%20aid%20declaration.jpg?width=670&height=421&name=donation-station-pro-09-Gift%20aid%20declaration.jpg) #### 🔶 4. Will the Donation Station collect gift aid for all future donations? 🔸Yes! The Donation Station has a "Remember My Card" feature 🔸As standard, the Donation Station will ask the Donor if they would like to Gift Aid all their future donations ![donation-station-pro-15-Tokenisation](https://help.gwd.team/hs-fs/hubfs/DON%20Help%20Centre/Donor%20Journey%20Images/donation-station-pro-15-Tokenisation.jpg?width=670&height=421&name=donation-station-pro-15-Tokenisation.jpg) 🔸This means if they use the same card to donate in the future, the Donation Station will automatically remember their Gift Aid details for your HMRC submission. 🔸If you are unsure if this feature is active on your Donation Station [Contact Support](https://help.gwd.team/how-do-i-contact-support?hsLang=en) Remember My Card is only available when the Donation Station is being used in online mode #### 🔶 5.
