If any of you target shooters belong to a club that has CASC approval (Community Amateur Sports Club) then you are effectively treated like a charity as far as the IR are concerned

One way therefore to raise money (as a gift from the tax man) is to agree to pay reasonable travelling expenses to those members of the club who maintain and supervise your ranges and club house. 30-40p/mile seems to be quite acceptable
The recipients then donate these expenses back to the club and inform the IR of the donations by completing a gift aid form
The Tax man then gives your club 28% of the donations.

This can add up to quite a bit of money for those clubs that are open several days a week
The arrangement is all above board and quite legal.

Just start a simple spread sheet to record the miles covered and once a year make the claim
