Gift Aid
Under the Gift Aid scheme, charities can reclaim an
extra 25% in tax on every eligible donation by a UK
taxpayer.
We can't reclaim Gift Aid on donations made in return for goods,
rights and services. If we decide a donation is not eligible for
Gift Aid we'll need to refund it to the donor.
Benefits to higher-rate taxpayers
If you pay tax at the higher rate, you can reclaim tax relief on
your gross donation at 20% (i.e. the difference between the higher
rate of tax at 40% and the basic rate at 20%).
What if I am not a UK taxpayer?
If you are not a UK taxpayer you can still make a donation, but
your donation will not attract Gift Aid.
