GASDS vs Repayment: Understanding the Differences

Prev Next

Filing Frequency and Timing

GASDS claims are often filed at the same time as Gift Aid (Repayment) claims. However, many organisations choose to file GASDS only once per year because the scheme has more complex rules and requires careful tracking of annual limits.

With infoodle - you are able to file multiple GASDS with the same date ranges.

Key Differences Between the Schemes

Feature GASDS Repayment
Claim window Up to 2 years Up to 4 years
Annual limit £8,000 (or per building) No limit
Based on UK tax year Donation date only
Requires declarations No Yes

Why infoodle Separates the Claims

If GASDS and Repayment claims were combined:

  • Repayment claims could span across tax years
  • GASDS limits would need to be split across years
  • Users could unintentionally exceed GASDS limits

To avoid this complexity, infoodle processes GASDS and Repayment as separate claim types, ensuring accuracy and reducing user confusion.
