Gift Aid
If a donation is eligible for Gift Aid Chapel & York UK Foundation will submit and process a claim to HMRC and grant the reclaimed tax to Christ Church Grammar School along with your donation.
To reclaim the tax on your donation Chapel and York UK Foundation require a fully completed Gift Aid declaration [link to document]. If you make an online donation, the system will allow you to complete a digital Gift Aid declaration. Donations via other methods will require a declaration to be sent via email or post.
What is Gift Aid?
Gift Aid allows UK charities to claim back the basic rate tax already paid by donors on their gifts.
This means that the Chapel & York UK Foundation can claim back from the government, on your behalf, 25p for every £1 donated, boosting the value of your donation to your chosen fund by 25%.
Who is eligible for Gift Aid?
To qualify, you must be a UK taxpayer who has paid income or capital gains tax equal to the tax that will be claimed on your donation.
You are a UK taxpayer if:
- tax is taken from your wages at source (i.e., PAYE)
- you fill out a self-assessment form
- you have any taxable savings (for example, in a building society), a pension plan, or investment income
- you have paid capital gains tax or expect to pay it soon
What are the benefits of Gift Aid?
Christ Church Grammar School will receive a 25% larger donation.
Higher rate taxpayers can claim additional tax relief: You can claim tax relief on the value of the donation plus the gift aid. For example, if you donate £100, we reclaim gift aid to make your donation £125. If you pay 40% tax you can claim back £25.00 (£125 x 20%) on your self-assessment tax return.
How can Christ Church Grammar School receive Gift Aid?
It’s very easy – just send a Gift Aid declaration form to the Chapel & York UK Foundation by email at info@chapel-yorkukfoundation.org
For online donations, you will automatically be asked to complete and submit a Gift Aid declaration.
