SCF is finalising a gift aid declaration for fundraising purposes In it we were thinking of including a data protection paragraph Eg "Save the Children will only use the information you have prvided on this Gift Aid Declaration for the purposes of claining the tax back on your donation through the Inland Revenue" This would be added to the attached form. The form, whilst an Inland Revenue requirement - is actually an SCF form and not an Inland Revenue Form. I have spoken to IR about it and they are not sure!! 1. Do we need such a para? <<Gift aid declaration.doc>> 2. Is the wording above sufficient? I have spoken to DP office and they have said that because people are providing information to us for the purpose of a gift aid scheme and that the purpose is clear on the form and that there is a statutory obligation to disclose information for the purposes of reclaiming the tax that it is not necessary to inform people that we may give there inforamtion to the tax office to reclaim tax. Has anyone else got an opinion on this, and could anyone tell me what section the exemption is permitted under?
