Donations under Gift Aid

• If you are a UK taxpayer, you can declare that your donations should be treated as Gift Aid donations. Doing so maximises your gift because we can reclaim 25p for every 拢1 you donate at no further cost to you.

Higher and Additional Rate Tax

• If you pay Income Tax at the higher rate (40%) or additional rate (45%) and want to receive the additional tax relief due to you, you must include all you Gift Aid donations on your Self-Assessment tax return or ask HM Revenue and Customs to adjust your tax code. If you pay less Income Tax and/or Capital Gains Tax than the amount of Gift Aid claimed on all your donations in that tax year it is your responsibility to pay the difference.
