Some churches have reported that the communication from HMRC advising that a remittance has been made in respect of a Gift Aid repayment claim contains an instruction that future claims should be made on a tax year basis rather than on an accounting year basis. HMRC has confirmed that this has been done in error and have apologised for any inconvenience this has caused.
In order that HMRC can identify the churches involved they have requested that the affected churches write to the originating office at Bootle pointing out that the church is regarded as an unincorporated association for tax purposes.
