Gift Aid & Tax
Thank you for considering a donation to St George’s Bristol. On this page we’ve got a little bit of information about how to get the most out of your gift to us. If you would like more information, don’t hesitate to get in touch with our Development team.
Gift Aid
Gift Aid is one of the most effective ways to boost your donation, allowing us to claim an extra 25p for every £1 you donate, at no cost to you. You just need to be a registered UK Taxpayer as Gift Aid is reclaimed from the tax you pay.
If you are eligible, declaring that you want to Gift Aid couldn’t be easier. You can tick the Gift Aid checkbox when you donate online, or simply click this link to declare. Alternatively, you can declare over the phone.
Please note that in order to make a Gift Aid declaration, you need to be paying the same amount or more of UK income Tax and/or Capital Gains Tax as all charities and CASCs will claim on your gifts in a tax year. If this isn’t the case, you are responsible for paying the difference.
If you’re a higher rate taxpayer, you might be interested to know that you can claim further relief via your self-assessment tax return. Find out more here.
Once declared, just let us know if you have any changes to your tax status, name or address.
