Gift Aid

Gift Aid is a way for charities to increase the value of monetary gifts by claiming back the tax paid on donations. It can increase the value of donations by a quarter at no extra cost to the donor.

How does it work

Gift Aid is surprisingly easy to use and can apply to donations of any amount, whether they be made by cash, cheque, postal order, direct debit, standing order, debit or credit card.

If you are a UK taxpayer, all you have to do is complete a Gift Aid declaration form. Whats more, one single Gift Aid declaration can apply to all past donations you have made (since April 2000) and to all future donations.

Do I qualify

Providing you pay tax (income, pension, and/ or capitals gains), Age Concern Slough and Berkshire East will be able to reclaim the tax on your donations.
