1) How does it work? If you donate £100, in the normal way
UWT will receive precisely £100. Should you Gift Aid it, then UWT
will receive £128 - in other words increasing the value of your
donations by nearly a third.
2) How long does the declaration last for?
The declaration normally covers present, future and past
donations. UWT will be able to claim Gift Aid on any donations made
since the Gift Aid scheme was revised on 6 April 2000, as long as
you are eligible.
3) What if I don't pay, or stop paying, tax?
We are unfortunately unable to claim Gift Aid on your donation if
you do not pay tax. Therefore, if your situation changes in the
future, please inform us.
4) Who can use the Gift Aid scheme?
Anyone in the UK who has paid enough income tax or capital gains tax to
cover the amount reclaimed by UWT in the current financial year can
use Gift Aid.
5) How do I sign up for Gift Aid?
In order for us to claim Gift Aid on your donations you must
complete a Gift Aid Declaration. You can
either do this when donating (by ticking the relevant box in the
standing order form or distributed leaflets), by
completing and returning a Gift Aid Declaration form or over the
phone. You only need to do this once; all your donations to UWT
thereafter will be treated as Gift Aided.
You can also fill this form
in and send with a cheque or postal order donation.
6) What if I am a higher taxpayer?
As a higher rate taxpayer you can reclaim 12% personal tax relief
on your donation on top of what UWT will collect. |
