As a higher rate taxpayer-I can reclaim some of my Zakah back from HMRC-How do I treat this ?

Fatawa Question

As a higher rate taxpayer-I can reclaim some of my Zakah back from HMRC-How do I treat this ? I am a higher rate taxpayer and would claim gift aid on my Zakah “donation”. If I give £ 100, the charity will be able to claim another £ 28 or so. Fine. My donation was £ 100 not £ 128. But, I get to reclaim £ 20 or so from the taxman. So in reality my wealth has only gone down £ 80 for my donation. Have I paid £ 100 or £ 80 to my Zakah ?
