Hi BellaBoo, Thank you very much, all perfectly clear and simple. Not the result I was hoping for but oh well, at least its clear now. Thanks!

Hello HMRC Admin 21, Thanks for sharing the link, however, I still remain confused about my query. Would really appreciate if you could help me with it. See below my query: The HMRC link you shared states: "Donations by individuals to charity or to community amateur sports clubs (CASCs) are tax free." If donations to registered charities are tax free, then, if I am a 40% tax payer and have paid sufficient tax (via PAYE), I should be able to claim all 40% tax on my donations back via my self-assessment? i.e. there shouldn't be a need for me to gift aid 25% first and then claim back the difference only?

Thanks BellaBoo, would you be any chance be able to direct me to where I can find information on this on the HMRC website? Would be great if the Admin could also provide their response on this

Hello, If a higher rate tax payer donates to registered charities in the UK, but DOES NOT allow the charity to claim Gift Aid on that donation. In that case, can that tax payer claim the FULL tax relief on that donation? e.g. if £100 has been donated, can a 40% tax payer, reclaim £40 in their self-assessment?
