donations & legacies

Gift aid is tax relief on money donated to UK charities. The Trust is able to reclaim this tax from the Inland Revenue and so increase the value of a donation.

However, donors must pay enough UK income tax and/or capital gains tax themselves to cover the amount of tax the charity will reclaim. They will also need to give the charity a gift aid declaration, which should include
- their name
- their home address
- the charity’s name
- details of the donation – saying that it is a gift aid donation
- confirmation that they have paid UK tax - to cover the tax the charity will reclaim.

With the above information the transaction is simple and we will do the rest for you.

A declaration can be made to cover individual donations, a series of donations, donations made during a specified period or to cover all future donations. Donations can also be backdated for up to six years prior to the date of the declaration provided they have been made since April 6, 2000.
