This course provides a clear understanding of Gift Aid and the small donations scheme (GASDS), covering legal requirements, donor definitions, and essential record-keeping.
This course is designed for church treasurers, trustees, finance managers, and anyone involved in gift aid management and submissions.
Take this course to enhance your understanding of the complexities of Gift Aid and the small donations scheme (GASDS). Be guided through the jargon, the whys and wherefores, and when not to ‘push’ the limits of the scheme. Find answers to those questions you always wanted to ask about Gift Aid.
By the end of this course, you'll have a clear grasp of legal requirements, required paperwork, definitions of donors, understanding of ‘gift or no gift’ in relation to the keeping of records and submission of a claim for Gift Aid. This knowledge will enable your church to maximise potential income from donations received while complying with HMRC regulations and guidance.
The course comprises practical insights and expert guidance on gathering information for a Gift Aid claim. Whilst it does not take you through making a claim, it does provide you with the knowledge needed to gather relevant and essential information. It's delivered by knowledgeable professionals who can answer your questions and concerns. Don't miss this opportunity to be more confident in submitting your claims to the benefit of your church.
The course is typically delivered through a live Zoom webinar. You'll have the opportunity to interact with the speakers and get answers to your specific questions.
No prior knowledge is required, although a basic understanding of church finance can be beneficial. This course is designed to accommodate individuals with little, lots or no knowledge of Gift Aid.
Please note: The training will be delivered via zoom.
