Accessing the GASDS Area
A dedicated menu item appears under:
Finance > Claims > Small Donation Scheme (GASDS)
This menu is visible only to non‑clustered users, ensuring that only authorised users can manage GASDS claims and the transactions associated with it.
What the GASDS Screen Shows
The main GASDS screen displays:
- A list of financial years (current + previous two)
- The claiming method selected for each year
- The total value of transactions claimed in that year
- A list of individual claims within each year
- The status of each claim (Draft, Filed, etc.)
If CASC status has not been set, the user must set it before continuing.
Managing Financial Years
Users with finance configuration permissions can:
- Add a financial year (within the allowable two‑year window)
- Select the claiming method for that year
- Delete a financial year (only if no claims have been filed)
Once a claim has been filed, the claiming method for that year cannot be changed.
Recommended Guidance
It is advised to complete Gift Aid (Repayment) claims before filing GASDS to ensure sufficient allowance. GASDS is limited to £8,000 or 10 × the Gift Aid claimed amount per year.
