Gift Aid
We are striving to make the most of Gift Aid on the next campaign. If you are a UK taxpayer, WGS can currently claim tax relief of 28.21%. The following table demonstrates the impact that this will have on your donation if you are basic rate taxpayer (currently 22%):
| £100 | £28 | £128 |
| £500 | £141 | £641 |
| £1,000 | £282 | £1,282 |
| £10,000 | £2,820 | £12,820 |
If you are a higher rate taxpayer (40%), you are able to claim the difference between the higher and lower rate (18%) back for your donation, so your contribution will be even more cost-effective:
| £100 | £130 | £30 | £37 | £167 |
| £500 | £650 | £150 | £183 | £833 |
| £1,000 | £1,300 | £300 | £367 | £1,667 |
| £50,000 | £65,000 | £15,000 | £18,335 | £83,335 |
| £100,000 | £130,000 | £30,000 | £36,670 | £166,670 |
For higher rate taxpayers to claim tax relief, simply follow the guidance on section 19 (‘Donations to Charity’) on your self-assessment form. If you do not use self-assessment, simply contact your local tax office and they will arrange the rebate.
