The donation tax credit (DTC) statistics section has reports on:
- the total value of donations for which DTCs are claimed
- the value of DTCs claimed
- the number of claims
- the average amount claimed
- which types of organisations are receiving donations.
It also has the average amount claimed and which types of organisations are receiving donations.
Latest dataset
This update revises information for the 2020 to 2024 tax years, restructures the table layout to improve consistency and usability, introduces new analysis variables, and includes newly available data for the 2025 tax year.
The new layout contains data for the 2020 tax year onwards. Income of donors is now collated by income bands instead of by tax scale thresholds. Additionally, information is now provided on the amounts donated for which DTC claims are received, and on the age of donors.
The latest update uses data extracted from Inland Revenue systems on 17 August 2026. The most recent years are subject to further updates as later claims can be submitted for up to 4 years after the end of the tax year.
Explanatory notes
Technical information is provided on the explanatory notes tab of the spreadsheet containing the statistics.
Previous datasets and layout

Tables in the previous layout have been revised to incorporate updated data for the 2020 to 2024 tax years on the donation tax credit statistics datasets page.
