The PTA are running a comedy night at £15 a head. When I bought my ticket I was surprised to be asked to gift-aid the payment. I looked a bit more carefully and saw that there was some small print saying the £15 was actually a suggested voluntary donation and it could be edited.
I've no problem with the PTA finding innovative ways to raise money, but surely this is a bit dodgy given that they have a lot of expenses to cover for the event? They're using professional comedians from an agency so wouldn't break even if people decided on mass to pay less.
In other Gift Aid situations I've had to tick a box to declare that I'm not receiving goods or services in return for my donation, but that wording isn't being used by the PTA. Is it statutory?

To think our PTA's interpretation of Gift Aid rules is a bit dodgy?
