Gift Period

The HMRC Gift Aid return form at the end of the year is separated into periods.
Each period starts either on the first day of the tax year or on the first day of the charity account year.

For example

Suppose the charity has an accounting year that ends on 30 September so the first day in the accounting year is 1 October.
The tax year always starts 6 April.
Accounting periods are then
