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 28p 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 as Gift Aid it requires an individual and identifiable donor, who can
satisfy the conditions for tax relief to declare their donation to be a Gift Aid
Donation. To qualify for Gift Aid
you must pay an amount of
income tax and/or capital gains tax at least equal to the tax CRY reclaims on
your donations in the tax year (currently 28p for each £1 you give). If you pay
tax at the higher rate you can claim further tax relief.
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.
