In 2017 HMRC set up a Working Group with the charity sector to improve people\u2019s understanding of Gift Aid and to review any areas of the process that can be improved.

<\/p>
The working group is continuing to explore all options, and officials are meeting with members of the working group to discuss this specific issue in April.<\/p>
