Gift Aid It!
Did you know if you are a UK tax payer that any donations of goods you make to the Retail department can now be gift aided?
What this means to us is that for every item we sell which has been gift aided we are able to make a claim to Her Majesty’s Revenue and Customs of 25% of the sale value.
For example a sale of £1 can be increased to £1.25 if it were Gift Aided.
What do you need to do to become a Gift Aid donor?
Simply fill in a declaration form the next time you bring any donations to us, or if you prefer download the Retail Gift Aid declaration form fill it in, print it off and bring it along with your stock donation and the value of your items will be increased by 25% at no cost to either you or the customer who purchases it. You must pay an amount of Income Tax and/or Capital Gains Tax for each tax year (6 April one year to 5 April the next) that is at least equal to the amount of tax that the charity will reclaim on your gifts for that tax year.
