Andrew Gwynne – 2016 Parliamentary Question to the HM Treasury

The below Parliamentary question was asked by Andrew Gwynne on 2016-10-17.

To ask Mr Chancellor of the Exchequer, if he will extend the matching requirement for the Gift Aid Small Donations Scheme.

Jane Ellison

The Small Charitable Donations and Childcare Payments Bill relaxes the eligibility criteria for the Gift Aid Small Donation Scheme. These changes will ensure that the Scheme operates effectively and flexibly for a greater number of charities and a greater number of donations.

The Government has no plans to extend the Gift Aid matching requirement.
