What is Gift Aid?

Gift Aid allows charities to reclaim tax paid on donations from individuals. At the present rate of tax, a £10 donation is increased by £2.82. All that is required is for an individual to be a UK taxpayer and to have paid at least as much tax as the charity reclaims on their gifts in a year. Try the calculator [ here ] to show how much extra we can reclaim on your gifts to Christ church.

How can I Gift Aid my donation?

Click [ here ] to print out a [ Gift Aid declaration form ] - This will authorise us to reclaim tax on your gifts to Christ Church. This only has to be done once. Return the completed form  to Stephen Grosvenor Gift aid Secretary at the address on the form.

Who can use Gift Aid?

Anyone who has paid enough income tax or capital gains tax in the current financial year to cover the amount we have reclaimed. So, if you give £100 you need to have paid at least £28 in income tax or capital gains tax. If you are a higher rate taxpayer, you can claim a personal benefit - currently worth 23 pence for every £1 donated. [ See the gift aid calculator ]

How does it work?

Complete the simple declaration, giving your address details and sign an acknowledgement that you are aware of the requirement to have paid enough tax. Return the completed form to Stephen Grosvenor – Gift Aid Secretary. Decide which option you wish to use to give.

 How can I give to Christ Church?

Christ church operates a Standing order scheme for regular giving and a white envelope scheme for occasional giving. Standing orders can be set up by sending this [ completed form ] to your bank. White envelopes are available at the rear of the church or by contacting the parish office. To gift aid your gift you must put your name and address on the white envelope.
