HMRC Gift Aid Inspections - a summary guide

We know that HMRC can and does inspect charities compliance with the rules around the Gift Aid Scheme, but it’s one of those things that happens to other charities,….. until it isn’t. There is no fixed schedule for inspections, so there’s no way to know for sure when you might get a knock at the door. We all aim to do the right thing, but can we be sure that we are, and what happens if our charity isn’t as compliant as we think it is?

As much as we all enjoy reading lengthy compliance documents, this resource aims to summarise HMRC’s guidance on Gift Aid audits. However, if you're someone who prefers to read the full document, you can find it here.
