The maths

Revenue adds 31%, on the grossed-up gift.

The relief is the donor's income tax on the donation, repaid to the charity.

Flag. Consent. Certificate. Claim.

The engine reads your income.

01

Eligible donors, flagged.

Gifts are counted by qualifying income type, per donor, per tax year.

02

The donor signs once.

A link goes by email, and the donor signs an enduring certificate on a secure page.

03

The certificate, on file.

The signed form is the legal record, and it lands in the vault.

04

The claim, assembled.

One action builds the year's Revenue claim.

The data underneath

Built like the tax record it is.

PPS numbers are encrypted and masked, every reveal is logged, and no donor is recorded as consented without a signed certificate on file. How we protect your data →

One vault

Every claim points at evidence.

Signed forms, certificates and claims live in the organisation's vault, alongside your governance records and board minutes.

Common questions

Does the donor pay anything?

No. The relief is income tax the donor has already paid, repaid to the charity by Revenue. The gift costs the donor exactly what they gave.

We've never claimed. Is it too late for past years?

No. Claims can reach back up to four tax years, and the certificate captures the donor's first tax year.
