Gift Aid

Gift Aid

‘Gift Aid’ is the Inlands Revenue’s dispensation to revert tax to charities on charitable giving. 

You can register your tithes and offerings for Gift Aid here: Gift Aid Declaration Form

To qualify donors must pay income and/or capital gains tax at least equal to the tax the charity reclaims on your donations in the tax year (currently 25p for each £1 you give). If you pay tax at the higher rate you can claim further tax relief in you Self-Assessment tax return. If you are unsure whether your donations quality for Gift Aid tax relief, we will be pleased to offer guidance, or you may ask your local tax office for the leaflet IR113 Gift Aid, or visit: https://www.gov.uk/donating-to-charity/gift-aid

Please notify the South England Conference of any change to your name nor address while the declaration is in force. You may cancel the declaration at any time by notifying the South England Conference directly or by indicating ‘No Tax’ on an offering envelops. We will then cease making tax claims on your contributions. You should do this if your personal circumstances change such that you no longer pay tax on your income.
