Please note that for most donations accepted by charities, there has to be clear evidence of a visitor/supporter agreeing to the gift aid scheme. However, if you have their contact details from any previous contact with them and if they have made non-gift aided donations in the past but have later made a gift aid declaration, the gift aid claim can cover previous donations. I have just checked gov.uk and there are rules about retrospective gift aid (2 or four years limit) and exemptions for some non-gift aid donations (in that gift aid can be claimed). Always visit this website for advice about all the different types of donations that are covered or not covered.

As a visitor I should not have to pay extra towards Gift Aid. It is my understanding that Gift Aid is claimed your entry price without you adding an additional fee. If I raise money for a charity I don’t ask my sponsors to pay extra for Gift Aid – the charity claims it from the amount they choose to donate. So even if a visitor chooses to pay the non-Gift Aid amount, you can still claim Gift Aid if they are eligible. This is just a way of charging more and claiming more money back. I have to say that I would always choose to pay the non-Gift Aid amount – the Gift Aid amount, by definition of being higher is actually at cost to the visitor, despite what you are telling them.

In the past, our advertised ticket prices didn't include Gift Aid, which made it much easier for visitors not to pay it. When the decision was made to re-structure our pricing to include the Gift Aid, we saw a significant improvement in the number of visitors agreeing to contribute. We do still find that there are a few who, even though they're eligible, insist on paying the non-Gift-Aid rate but that's entirely up to them. Our Ticket Officers' "spiel" when a visitor arrives is along these lines: "Our pricing includes a 10% voluntary Gift Aid donation. If you're a UK tax payer and are happy to pay this, then we can reclaim an extra 25% from the government on top of the amount you've paid, at no cost to yourself. This makes a great deal of difference to our charity." Happy to answer any more questions.
