Hi, Power is out here due to Tropical Storm Zeta. The UPS is down to 30%. So I am going to cleanly shut down the gnucash server shortly which will take down email, wiki, git.. I will restart it ASAP when power is restored. -derek Sent using my mobile device. Please excuse any typos. ___

Well, this clearly didn't make it out before my UPS died. Power has been restored and services should be running normally again. Please let me know if you notice anything not working. Note to self, the UPS lasted a bit over 4 hours. This is the first significant power outage we've had in 3 years,

What you can claim Your GASDS claim cannot be more than 10 times your Gift Aid claim. For example, you can claim on £1,000 worth of donations through GASDS if you’ve received £100 of Gift Aid donations in the same tax year. You can claim on donations that are eligible for Gift Aid, but not me

Yes, almost any donation to any charity (or community amateur sports club) is eligible, and it would be unheard of for a church not to qualify as a charity. (Perhaps not so unheard of for them not to register as such with the tax authorities, as it's a lot of faff - as this thread makes clear.) I'

I'm not aware of any church that has a membership fee, and I'd be amazed to learn of one. In the case of tithing (which is expected in only a very small minority of churches) I imagine it would be cast as a donation, and not as membership. Our common law holds a membership fee to be contract

Is this a one time chore. I don't know about doing it on the Gnucash side, but it seems relatively easy to do in in a spreadsheet. Insert a column for numbering the rows. Duplicate all the rows as a block, i.e. with the second copy of all the rows following the first block e.g. 1 a ... 2 b ...
