Gift Aid Guidelines

  1. You must be a taxpayer and pay an amount of income tax and/ or capital gains tax equal to the tax that the charity reclaims on your donations in the tax year (currently 28p for each £1 you give).
  2. You can cancel this declaration at any time by notifying the charity.
  3. 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 (see 1. above).
  4. If you pay tax at the higher rate you can claim further tax relief in your Self-Assessment tax return.
  5. If you are unsure whether your donations qualify for Gift Aid tax relief, ask the charity, or ask your local tax office for leaflet IR 65.
