Charity Gift Aid
Boost your donation by 25p of Gift Aid for every £1 you donate
Gift Aid is reclaimed by the charity from the tax you pay for the current tax year. Your address is needed to identify you as a current UK taxpayer.
To claim Gift Aid you must be a taxpayer. If 2 members are shown on the form and payment is from a joint account both members can claim Gift Aid. If two members have separate accounts they can make separate payments and still claim Gift Aid. If a single payment from a single personal account is used to pay for both members then only the member making the payment can claim Gift Aid. HMRC consider payment from a single personal account covering another person as a gift so Gift Aid for the second person cannot be claimed.
Please notify the charity if you:
· want to cancel this declaration
· change your name or home address
· no longer pay sufficient tax on your income and/or capital gains
If you pay Income Tax at the higher or additional rate and want to receive the additional tax relief due to you, you must include all your Gift Aid donations on your Self-Assessment tax return or ask HM Revenue and Customs to adjust your tax code.
