Do I have to declare gifts at customs?

Do I need to declare this at customs? What if the charity spent the money on a service? Would you still be taxed on the value of the item donated to the charity? The charity can't use the money, but if the charity does use the money on a service, then the person who donated the item would still be taxed. You're right that charities are exempt from VAT, but they are still subject to income tax in the UK. If they spend the money on a service, then they are still liable for income tax. If the charity doesn't spend the money on a service, then the income tax liability is on the donor and the value of the item donated.
