Gift Aid

Asked by Stuart AndrewConservativeTreasuryTabled Answered 7 July 2025UIN 63297

The question

To ask the Chancellor of the Exchequer, when she plans to amend Gift Aid legislation to ensure that charities operating on a membership subscription model can continue to claim Gift Aid while complying with the requirements of the Digital Markets, Competition and Consumers Act 2024.

Answered by James Murray

The government will legislate to amend the rules concerning Gift Aid due to implications of the Digital Markets, Competition and Consumers Act (DMCCA) 2024. This Act introduces new protections for consumers who take out subscription contracts. The government will amend existing Gift Aid legislation before the DMCCA comes into force so that charities can continue to claim Gift Aid while complying with new consumer protections.
