A brief guide to Gift Aid
Are you a UK taxpayer who has paid enough tax to cover the amount we will reclaim on your donation? This is equivalent to
25p per £1.
This can be in the form of:
- Income tax taken from your wages or salary
- Tax paid over after filling in a self-assessment form
- Taxes paid on savings, a pension plan or investment income
- Any capital gains tax paid on the sale of a property or shares etc
If so then we can claim Gift Aid on your donation.
This means that for every £1 you donate, we can claim back an extra 25p from HM Revenue and Customs.
All you have to do is sign the declaration on the receipt you are given or send us a brief letter explaining that you wish us to Gift Aid your donation.
It’s that easy!
If you require any further information on Gift Aid you can contact the charitable funds team on (01522) 573433 or look on the HM Revenue and Customs website www.hmrc.gov.uk/incometax/relief-gift-aid.htm
