UK Gift Aid Scheme 

Gift Aid is a UK government scheme that enables charities, including universities and colleges, to claim tax relief on donations from individual UK taxpayers.Ìý We would encourage all eligible donors to take up this scheme to maximise the value of their donation.Ìý For every £1 a UK taxpayer donates, ºÃÉ«ÏÈÉúTV’s can reclaim a further 25p. This means that a £100 gift with Gift Aid is worth £125 to ºÃÉ«ÏÈÉúTV’s.Ìý

Additionally, higher-rate and additional-rate tax payers can claim back the difference between basic rate tax and the higher rate of 40% or 45% on the gross value of their gift through Self Assessment. A gift of £100 (£125 including Gift Aid) would therefore be eligible for a rebate of £25 for a 40% taxpayer or £31.25 for a 45% taxpayer.Ìý

Please note that we will share relevant and necessary data with HM Revenue and Customs to enable us to reclaim the Gift Aid on your donation.Ìý .Ìý
