Any donation to this charity from a member (or indeed from any member of the public) is eligible for Gift Aid. The treasurer for the last five years is a retired banker, and his accounts were all certified by a chartered account before being passed on to OSCR so I think the principles have been established. What I am trying to do is find the best way of using GC to record and report the necessary information.
OK, like I said, I've done stiff like this but don't know YOUR regs and 
seems different so I want clarification.

In addition to knowing the amounts (these extras that are designated as 
charitable donations) you have to report to the government "from whom"? 
Here we would not -- thus at an event, might be stated "event cost $X 
per person, pay at least that much. If people pay more, the extra will 
be given to charity A. The organization would report the amount, but how 
much from each person who did donate extra. Like when at a meeting of an 
organization a motion is raised to donate to some charity by passing 
around a hat.

If it is similar where you are, what is the tracking by member for?
