Hi all,
Am enquiring about how PTAs and primary schools can claim gift aid on donations. I've recently got involved in our school's parents group (not a formal PTA yet) and we're doing a sponsored cycle ride which could raise a few thousand pounds. Gift aid would therefore be a significant boost to the total.
However, for various reasons there would be quite an administrative burden in the parents group actually claiming the gift aid (partly as the group is new/reformed), so my question is, can primary schools claim gift aid direct? Does it depend on whether they are a charity or not? (My understanding is not all are? Ours is a state-run, still LA controlled, one). The school don't think they have ever claimed it before.
Any experience gratefully received.
Thanks!
