Understanding the GASDS Annual Allowance

Prev Next

GASDS allowance is determined by:

  • The total amount claimed under the Repayment method in the same tax year
  • HMRC’s rule that organisations may claim up to £8,000 OR 10 × the Gift Aid claimed, whichever is lower

infoodle calculates this automatically but allows manual adjustments if the organisation has incomplete Gift Aid history in the system.

Examples

Scenario Counts for this year's GASDS?
£100 donation received today (with declaration) Yes — increases allowance
£100 donation received today but filed in 2 years Yes — still counts for this year
Filing today for a £100 donation from 2022 No — counts toward 2022’s allowance
