What is Gift Aid?

If you are a UK taxpayer, the Gift Aid scheme allows registered charities like Jubilee Centre to reclaim the income tax you have paid on all donations you have made since 6 April 2000, regardless of the size or the frequency of the gift.

How much is it worth?

Gift Aid increases the value of your gift by almost 30 per cent, at no extra cost for you. For every £10 you donate, Jubilee Centre can claim an extra £2.82 from the Inland Revenue.

What do I need to do?

All you need to do is make sure you qualify as a UK taxpayer and then give us your permission to reclaim the tax by filling in the Gift Aid box on the Standing Order form. You only need to give us permission once to cover all your donations past (since April 2000), present and future.

How do I know if I qualify?

For your donation to qualify as Gift Aid, you need to pay an amount of UK income tax or capital gains tax equal to the tax we reclaim on your donations. This means you can donate up to £3.50 for every £1 tax you pay.

What if I pay tax at the higher rate?

If you pay tax at the higher rate of 40 per cent, Jubilee Centre can still only reclaim tax at the base rate of 22 per cent. If you wish, you can reclaim the remainder on your tax return.

What if I pay the lower rate of income tax?

If you pay tax at the lower rate of 10 per cent, Jubilee Centre can still reclaim tax at the standard rate of 22 per cent. You must simply ensure that the total amount you have paid in tax is greater than or equal to the total amount reclaimed by Jubilee Centre and all other charities. As a rule, you can donate up to £3.50 for every £1 of tax you pay.

What if the amount of tax I pay changes?

As long as the total amount of tax you pay each year is greater than or equal to the total amount Jubilee Centre and all other charities reclaim, your gift still qualifies for Gift Aid.

If you stop paying tax, please let us know and we will cease reclaiming tax on your donations from the day you contact us. If you have any query or would like to notify us of a change in your circumstances, please feel free to contact us.
