What is Gift Aid?
Gift Aid is a method whereby you can give a sum of money and the church can reclaim from the Inland Revenue the basic rate of tax on the donation. It provides a great opportunity for donors to increase the value of their donations to their church by 25%. For example, for every £100 given through Gift Aid this increases in value to £125.
Subject to a few simple rules, donors can give any amount, large or small, regularly or one-off and tax can be reclaimed. Everyone who pays tax on any income, whether that is through savings, dividends or capital gains can use the Gift Aid facility.
To gift aid a donation requires the donor to complete a simple form providing a name, address and confirmation that they are a tax payer. That’s it! The church will reclaim the amount from the Inland Revenue.
