Written question asked by Baroness Quin (Labour), in the House of Lords. It was answered by Lord Sassoon (Conservative) on Monday, 11 June 2012.


Taxation: Charitable Donations

Question

To ask Her Majesty’s Government how much tax relief was claimed by public schools on charitable donations received in each of the last five financial years.[HL465]

Answer

HM Revenue & Customs (HMRC) does not keep records of Gift Aid claims by reference to the types of organisations that make the claims.

Amounts donated by individuals and companies and tax repayments to charities are published in Table 10.3 on the HMRC website at: http://www.hmrc.gov.uk/stats/charities/table10-3.pdf.

Statistics on donations show cases only when it is possible to make an accurate assessment of the amount from repayments of tax. This excludes capital gains tax and, since system changes at Budget 2000, corporate donations.
