Section 521: Gifts entitling donor to gift aid relief: income tax liability and exemption

1559.This section sets out the charge to tax that can arise on gift aid payments received by a charitable trust. It is based on section 505(1) of ICTA and section 25(10) and (12) of FA 1990.

1560.This section imposes a freestanding charge to income tax on gift aid payments, unlike the source legislation which operates by treating the gifts as annual payments. It also sets out the exemption which will normally apply if the charitable trust uses the gifts for charitable purposes.
