Giving to charity: Tax reliefs you can use

Giving to charity

Giving to charity is often driven by values rather than tax planning, but the tax treatment still matters. Used properly, the available reliefs can make a donation go further, lower your tax bill, or both. HMRC’s latest charity tax relief statistics show that tax reliefs for charities and donors were worth about £6.7 billion in the year to April 2025, including £1.7 billion of Gift Aid paid to charities.
