Gift Aid
Gift Aid is a scheme whereby
charities can claim extra money on the majority of donations made by
individuals. When a donation is made by an individual who wishes the donation
to benefit from Gift Aid, we are able to claim an extra 25p for every £1
donated. This is made possible by the person making the donation also
completing and signing a Gift Aid
Declaration form. Declarations of Gift Aid can also be made
retrospectively on donations that have already been made.
Gift Aid Declarations
cannot
be made on corporate donations; donations using company / business cheques;
or
donations made using CAF cheques
For your charitable donation to qualify for Gift Aid
you must pay an amount of Income Tax and/or Capital Gains Tax for each tax year
(April 6 to April 5 of the following year) that is at least equal to the amount
of tax that all the charities or Community Amateur Sports Clubs (CASCs) that I
donate to will reclaim on your gifts for that tax year. Other taxes such as VAT
and Council Tax do not qualify. The charity can reclaim 25p of every £1 that you
give if you are eligible. If you are a higher rate taxpayer, you can claim
additional tax relief via your tax return by including all of the Gift Aid
donations.
NB: we cannot claim Gift Aid in certain circumstances, so please take care
when completing this form:
• DO NOT use work addresses
• DO provide your full name
• DO include a full postcode
• DO NOT send Building Society or Bankers cheques
without a covering explanatory note detailing the origin of the
donation/donations
• DO NOT use ditto marks if the information is the
same as a previous sponsor
• DO NOT pay with a company cheque
If you do
complete a Gift Aid Declaration form,
please notify CRY if you change your name or address while the declaration is in
force. If, in the future, your circumstances change and you no longer pay
sufficient tax to cover the amount CRY reclaims, you should cancel your
declaration by informing CRY. You can cancel the declaration at any time by
notifying CRY and it will then not apply to donations you make on or after the
date of cancellation or such date as you specify.
