Gift Aid Opt In

Gift Aid is a government scheme that allows us to reclaim the basic rate tax you pay as a UK taxpayer.

It means that we can claim 25p of tax for every £1 you donate, at no extra cost to you. All you need to do is complete a Gift Aid declaration!

To qualify for Gift Aid:

• you need to be a UK taxpayer
• you need to have paid or expect to pay enough income/capital gains tax in the tax year your gift was received to cover all the Gift Aid donations you made to charity that year
• you need to make a Gift Aid declaration
• if you are completing an enduring Gift Aid declaration, you also need to be sure you paid enough tax to cover the donations you made in the previous four years.
• You need to pay for membership or make the donation from your own funds

Income from state pensions alone is unlikely to qualify as you’d need to earn above the personal allowance threshold to pay income tax.

If this is your only source of income, we advise that you check with your tax office before completing a declaration.

We only have four tax years in which to claim the tax relief on your donations. If donations you’ve made go back further than four years, we’ll only apply the tax relief to donations within the allowed period.

Fill out the form above, or email us at membership@derbyshirewt.co.uk and confirm you are eligible for Gift Aid claim now, in the future and for the past number of years (up to 4 years). It’s as simple as that!

 Please send a request by email to membership@derbyshirewt.co.uk with the opt out from date.
