Gift Aid

Gift Aid - step 1 of 3

Are you a UK taxpayer? If so, you can use Gift Aid to make your donations go further by completing this declaration.

Using Gift Aid means that for every pound you give, we receive an extra 28 pence from the Inland Revenue - that's £2.80 for every £10 and £28 for every £100!. If you pay tax at the higher rate you can claim further tax relief in your Self Assessment tax return (currently 25p for each pound you give).

Notes:

To qualify for Gift Aid, what you pay in income or capital gains tax must at least equal the amount we will claim in the tax year (currently 25p for each £1 given)**. Charities can claim Gift Aid tax relief of 25p on every pound you give. HMRC will also be operating transitional provisions for Gift Aid donations made from 6 April 2008 until 5 April 2011, paying a Government supplement of 3p on every pound you give. For more information about Gift Aid, please visit HMRC website
You can cancel this Declaration at any time by notifying the charity.
If in the future your circumstances change and you no longer pay tax on your income and capital gains equal to the tax that the charity reclaims, you can cancel your declaration.
If you pay tax at the higher rate you can claim further tax relief in your Self Assessment tax return (currently 25p for each pound you give)***.
If you are unsure whether your donations qualify for Gift Aid tax relief, ask the charity.
Please notify the charity if you change your name or address.

** Gift Aid is linked to basic rate tax. Basic rate tax is currently 20%, which allows charities to reclaim 25 pence on the pound.

*** Higher rate taxpayers can claim back the difference between basic rate and higher rate tax. Our SA Donate code is VAT49TG
