Gift Aid it
Would you like to increase the value of your gift at no extra cost to you?
If you are a UK taxpayer, the value of your donations can increase by 25% under the Gift Aid scheme.
For every £1 you donate we can claim an extra 25p.
If you've already made a gift to Canterbury Christ Church University and need to update your Gift Aid details, please use our form to let us know.
Q. Is it really as simple as ticking a box?
A. Yes – just tick the box to confirm that you are a tax payer and leave the rest to us. We make a claim to HMRC for any tax that has already been deducted from your donations and can claim Gift Aid on any donations you might make in the future.
Q. Does it matter how much or how little I give?
A. No, it doesn’t matter how many donations you have already made – we can claim 25p for every £1 you have given in the last four years. Completing the form today also means that can claim Gift Aid on any donations you may make in the future.
Q. Will my Gift Aid declaration affect the tax I pay?
A. No. The declaration you make today will not affect the tax you pay in any way. We are just re-claiming tax you have already paid.
Q. If I’m a pensioner, can I still qualify for the Gift Aid scheme?
A. Yes, your donations would be eligible for Gift Aid if you pay tax on a pension plan or savings accounts, pay Capital Gains Tax, or receive any rental income.
Q. Can I cancel my Gift Aid Declaration?
A. Yes, you can cancel your declaration at any time by contacting Futures Team on 07522619929. You should also let us know if your circumstances change and you no longer pay enough Income or Capital Gains Tax to cover the amount claimed by the charity, or if there is any change to your name or address.
If you have any questions about Gift Aid and your eligibility, please email us on futures@canterbury.ac.uk
or call us on 07522619929 and we will be more than happy to help.
