The Gift Aid scheme enables the Church to reclaim the basic rate tax from HMRC on personal donations from UK taxpayers, currently adding 25% extra to the donation made. Even though that may only seem like a small amount, you will be surprised how it all adds up.
Here are a few examples of how Gift Aid can increase your donations:
- a £5 donation = £6.25 with Gift Aid
- a £25 donation = £31.25 with Gift Aid
- a £100 donation = £125 with Gift Aid
All it takes is for you to complete a "Gift Aid" Form. You can download it by clicking on the link below.
