Self Assessment Gift Aid

CBRPilot

Having to submit my first ever self assessment form (2019 - 2020) and a little bewildered. "Charitable Giving", can I include gift aided monies that were raised by charities from my donations of clothing and other goods to them? And if so, how far back can I go, for instance can I include sums raised during the tax year 2018 - 2019 ?
Many thanks

Normally the charity will let you have a figure to treat as qualifying for Gift Aid. They do this for people who have already registered for Gift Aid purposes with them. A detailed explanation is here:

You would have to complete a claim for 2018/19 to deal with gifts in that year.

You have to be a higher rate taxpayer to get a repayment of tax.

Sounds like the OP has gifted items, rather than gifting money from the sale of those items

It could well be, although rather disappointing if the charity hasn't covered this point, with a regular donor. That is why I linked the detailed advice, which covers this point. I get a standard email asking me to come back within 30 days if I want them to pay me the proceeds of my items they have sold.

Many thanks for your help and advice regarding my initial posting. Just to clarify, I am registered for Gift Aid and the charity concerned does provide me with the required letters of notification about the goods I donate for sale etc, I just wasn't sure about entering such information on my self assessment. 
Once again my thanks

You can go back 4 years, but you cannot include on one tax return. You will have to make a claim for overpayment of tax for the applicable tax returns
