We apply five minutes after a bank believes we are not in the money

all are.
Not since the new lower base rate of Income Tax means that from the
new tax year Gift Aid will be worth less, since from 6th April 2008
basic income tax will reduce from 22% to 20% (and the 10% band
disappears).

So, you might pay less tax but this means "Wikipedia UK" gets less
when it recovers your Income Tax.
