HMRC have made available a new online service from 22 April 2013 for Charities and Community Amateur Sports Clubs (CASCs) to make Gift Aid tax repayment claims electronically.

The new service has built-in checks to prevent mistakes and should be faster to process the repayment. When you submit a claim successfully online you will get an on-screen confirmation reference number and you will also receive separate confirmation when the payment is made into your bank account.

Changes have also been made to the rules for sponsored events and aggregating donations. More information can be obtained from HMRC where you will also find the link to register for Charities Online and a demonstrator.
