Take advantage of the new tax laws and give
even more support to Boo
Good news! Changes have been made by the chancellor,
effective from 6 April 2000, which make the way
in which we reclaim tax on your gifts simpler.
The £250 Gift Aid minimum has been abolished
- we can now reclaim tax on all gifts from donors
whether the gifts are regular or one-off, large
or small, once the donor makes a declaration . All
our supporters who are UK taxpayers can and should
make a Gift Aid declaration.
If you have an existing covenanted regular gift,
this has been incorporated into Gift Aid for tax
purposes. We can claim against those covenanted
gifts under the new Gift Aid scheme up to the amounts
covenanted, but if you increase your regular gift
or make one-off cash donations you will need to
fill in a Gift Aid declaration. We recommend you
complete the declaration on the left now to cover
all eventualities.
If you make a regular gift but it is not covered
under a deed of covenant but do pay tax in the U.K.
we can now reclaim that tax paid from 6th April
2000, once we receive a completed Gift Aid declaration
from you.
If you pay tax at the higher rate of 40% you may
well be able to claim further tax relief on donations
you make to us.
