Are Pensioners Tax Payers

[lankeela]

as having just donated to a friend's charity page it asked me to confirm I was a tax payer so they can claim gift aid - as a pensioner should I tick yes?

When a charity asks you tick that box, it is so that they can reclaim the tax on the amount of your donation.  They can only claim it in the current tax year from any tax you have paid in that tax year.

Lankeela - how do you live on basic state pension with no other income? The dogs / travelling to shows / etc. must cost a fair bit.
