Gift Aid Declaration Notes

 

  1. A Gift Aid Declaration may be made only by an individual UK taxpayer.  It cannot be made jointly (e.g. by a husband and wife).  Each donor needs to sign a separate form.

  2. You will need to tell us if you change your name or address while your declaration is in force.

  3. You must pay an amount of income tax and/or capital gains tax at least equal to the tax that Crosslinks reclaims on your donations in the tax year (currently 28p on each £1 you give).  This is calculated as £1.28 gross income, less 28p tax paid leaving £1.00 net in your pocket for you to give to Crosslinks.

  4. If your circumstances change, and you no longer pay sufficient tax to cover the amount Crosslinks reclaims, you should cancel your declaration.

  5. If you pay tax at the higher rate, you can claim further tax relief via your tax return.  You should keep a note of all your charitable giving to charities with whom you have lodged a Gift Aid declaration, to help you fill in any tax return you are required to complete.

  6. Further information is available from your tax office.  Ask for or download leaflet IR65 Giving to Charity for Individuals
