GIFT AID DECLARATION NOTES

Gift Aid Declarations can only be made by individuals who pay U.K. Income Tax or Capital Gains Tax.

What is Gift Aid?

1. Gift Aid is a means whereby the Society can reclaim tax on your subscription and also on any denation that you might give. For example, if you give a donation of 10 pounds, and have signed a Gift Aid Declaration, that gift is worth 12 pounds 82 pence to the Society because you have made a payment with income from which tax has been taken.
2. There is no minimum or maximum limit on the amount you may give.
3. The only stipulation is that you pay an amount of Income or Capital Gains Tax, equal to the amount of tax deducted from your donations (currently this is 28 pence for each pound that you give).
4. If you pay tax at the higher rate you can claim further tax relief in your Self-Assessment tax return.
5. The Declaration, once signed, continues indefinitely, but you are entitled to cancel it at any time.
6. Apart from completing this form no other information is required from you, however any change of name or address must be notified to the Society.
