Gift Aid Declaration Notes
-
A Gift Aid Declaration may be made only by an individual UK taxpayer. It cannot be made jointly (e.g. by a husband and wife). Each donor needs to sign a separate form.
-
You will need to tell us if you change your name or address while your declaration is in force.
-
You must pay an amount of income tax and/or capital gains tax at least equal to the tax that Crosslinks reclaims on your donations in the tax year (currently 25p on each £1 you give). This is calculated as £1.25 gross income, less 25p tax paid leaving £1.00 net in your pocket for you to give to Crosslinks. (During tax year 2008 Crosslinks is able to recover another 3p per pound from the government
-
If your circumstances change, and you no longer pay sufficient tax to cover the amount Crosslinks reclaims, you should cancel your declaration.
-
If you pay tax at the higher rate, you can claim further tax relief via your tax return. You should keep a note of all your charitable giving to charities with whom you have lodged a Gift Aid declaration, to help you fill in any tax return you are required to complete.
