HMRC have launched a new CD Toolkit to help charities and Community Amateur Sports Clubs (CASCs) boost their income through Gift Aid.

The Toolkit contains clear, basic guidance, templates, an interactive claim form and other materials to help charities and CASCs get started with Gift Aid and use Gift Aid in different fundraising situations.

Charities are also encouraged to sign up to receive automatic updates on issues relevant to them from HMRC's website. See http://www.hmrc.gov.uk/rss/rss.htm.

Announcing the launch of the new facillity, David Richardson Director of Charities, Assets and Residence at HMRC said: "I hope that the Toolkit will encourage more charities - especially the smaller ones - to take up Gift Aid and boost their income. We have worked with charities to develop the Toolkit which should reduce administrative burdens. Our aim is to make Gift Aid easy for all charities and Community Amateur Sports Clubs by providing the tools and guidance to help them at every step."

The new Toolkit can be obtained by calling HMRC Charities on 08453 020 203 or e-mailing charities@hmrc.gov.uk.
