Gift Aid is one of the simplest and most effective ways of giving to charity. It is a government led scheme administered by HM Revenue and Customs which allows us to claim 25p for every £1 that you donate.
Which means your donations will be worth 25% more at no extra cost to you.
So your £10 donation becomes £12.50, £20 becomes £25 and £50 becomes £62.50!
Gift Aid generates thousands of extra pounds each year; allowing Dougie Mac to spend even more money on providing specialist hospice services for adults, young adults and children facing a life-limiting illness.
If you’re eligible – don’t forget to Gift Aid it!
Tell us whether or not we can start claiming Gift Aid on your donations, you just need to complete a Gift Aid declaration – We can then apply this to eligible donations you have already made to Dougie Mac in the past 4 years and any donations you make in the future.
Complete the form below and we’ll take care of the rest!
Gift Aid can be claimed on both individual and sponsorship donations.
Donations do NOT qualify for Gift Aid if:
-Donations are made by anyone who is not a UK taxpayer.
-Donations are made on behalf of someone else or a group of people e.g. a funeral collection.
-Donations are made in return for something e.g. registration for an event, playing our lottery, buying a raffle ticket etc.
No. Just complete the Gift Aid declaration which will allow us to claim Gift Aid on any donations you have already made to in the last 4 years and any future donations. We take care of the rest and reclaim the tax.
If you change your name/home address or no longer pay sufficient Income/Capital Gains Tax, please email: incomeadmin@dmhospice.org.uk or call us Mon-Fri, 9am-5pm on: 01782 344305
If your tax status changes, it’s really important that you let us know so that we can stop claiming Gift Aid on your donations. Email: incomeadmin@dmhospice.org.uk or call us Mon-Fri, 9am-5pm on: 01782 344305
Gift Aid lets us claim back 25% of your donation so to be eligible, you need to have paid at least that amount in tax. Tax can be paid on income, private pensions, savings accounts or capital gains tax in order to be eligible.
You may pay tax on a private pension plan or on a savings account. You may also pay capital gains tax on the sale of property or shares.
If you pay tax at a rate of 40% or above, you can claim the difference between the higher and basic rate on your donation.
To do this:
-Include all your Gift Aid eligible donations on your Self Assessment tax return
-Ask HM Revenue and Customs to amend your tax code
Unfortunately we don't have an answer for that question here.
