Example

The donator is a basic rate taxpayer and pays HMRC over earnings of £125, £25 in tax (20%). The donor is left with £100, which they donate to charity. When the donor makes a Gift Aid gift aid declaration, the charity can claim the tax paid to HRMC, i.e. £25. This means that the total donation received after claiming Gift Aid gift aid is £125.
