Gift Aid

Visiting a couple of attractions on holiday, both of which are setup as charities that can benefit from gift aid.

It wasn't too much pain to donate, but you see the guiding hand of the bureaucrat is not far. You aren't really buying a ticket, it more seen as a donation for which they grant you a years access and then they can claim back the tax from Whitehall.

So I can understand wanting to stop abuses, but really - I'm just buying a ticket for today, I don't need something different just to meet the tax regulations...
