    The NYMR is not unique in struggling with hmrcs interpretation of the gift aid legislation. Im aware of other heritage railways issues going back at least twenty five years. I think there has been at least one period when HMRC actually stopped all claims by heritage railways until they had been fully audited. I think that followed a situation where it was found that one railway was incorrectly claiming gift aid on Thomas the Tank engine events. I have been told by a legal professional that the schemes approved by HMRC vary from railway to railway according to the different tax offices. I fondly (not) recall in the pre computer age sorting and checking thousands of pink cards on the front room floor of my flat in Littlehampton.

    Is it correct to say the basis of a recent substantial grant was to increase passenger numbers? How does this square with taking fewer people for higher prices?
