GIFT AID DECLARATION FORM

Gift Aid
If you pay tax in the UK, then Gift Aid is a simple way to increase the value of your gift to a charity. Making your donation using Gift Aid will enable the charity to reclaim the basic rate tax on your gift to them. This means that if you give £10 to charity using Gift Aid in the tax year 2005-06, that gift is worth £12.82 to the charity.
You can make payments by cash, cheque, postal order, direct debit, standing order, debit or credit card or even in a foreign currency (including the euro).
Subject to a few rules, you can give any amount, large or small, regular or one-off and the charity can reclaim the tax.
If you are a higher rate taxpayer, you can claim relief on the difference between the basic rate and higher rate of tax.
If you do not pay tax, you should not use Gift Aid.

I would like the church to treat all donations that I make from the date of this declaration, until I notify you otherwise, as Gift Aid donations.

PLEASE NOTE: To qualify for Gift Aid you must pay an amount of Income Tax and/or Capital Gains Tax at least equal to the tax that the charity reclaims on your donations in the appropriate tax year (currently 28p for each £1 you give).
