Please treat all gifts of money that I have made in the past 4 years and all future gifts of money that I make from the date of this declaration as Gift Aid donations. I am a UK taxpayer and understand that if I pay less Income Tax and/or Capital Gains Tax than the amount of Gift Aid claimed on all my donations in that tax year, it is my responsibility to pay any difference to HMRC. Gift Aid is reclaimed by the charity from the tax you pay for the current tax year. Your address is needed to identify you as a current UK taxpayer. *

The information on this Declaration will be used to complete HMRC returns and to update appropriate internal records maintained by the Diocese, to provide information for statutory/audit purposes and to communicate with you.

The Gift Aid scheme
Gift Aid is tax relief on money donated to UK charities. The church can reclaim the tax that you have already paid on your income and so increase the value of donations. Most of us pay some tax on our income, benefits, pension, savings or share dividends and can therefore use the scheme. The rules state that donors must:

pay enough UK income tax (this includes pension payments, bank interest and share dividends) and/or capital gains tax themselves to cover the amount of tax the charity will reclaim
give the charity a gift aid declaration, which should include your name, home address and the charity’s name along with details of the donation – saying that it is a gift aid donation
confirm that you have paid UK tax – to cover the tax the charity will reclaim.

The Parish benefits by an extra £20 on every £80 that is given by standard rate (20%) taxpayers. If you give £80 to the parish, the parish will receive a total of £100.
A note for higher rate taxpayers
Higher rate (40%) taxpayers can themselves also reclaim a further £20 on a gift of £80 from HMRC by completing a Self-Assessment tax return. The net cost of giving £100 to the Parish is therefore only £60 for higher rate taxpayers.
