Gift Aid explained
From 6 April 2000, under the Governments revised Gift Aid Scheme, charities can reclaim the basic rate of tax already paid on all donations made by individuals. This will mean any donation you make after this date will be worth almost a third more. For example a gift of £50 will be worth £64.
In order to qualify you must:
Reside in the UK (or be a crown servant or a member of the armed forces working overseas)
Pay an amount of income tax or capital gains tax equal to the tax we reclaim on your donations (28p for every £1 you give)
Please remember to notify us if your circumstances change and you no longer pay an amount of income tax or capital gains tax equal to the tax we reclaim on your donations.
If you are a higher rate taxpayer you can claim further tax relief in your Self-Assessment tax return.
