Gift Aid makes an
enormous difference to Cats Protection because it
can increase your donation by just under a third.
What is Gift Aid?
Gift Aid is one of the simplest and most effective ways of giving to charity. It allows Cats Protection to claim 25p back from the Inland Revenue for every pound you give, as long as you are a UK taxpayer. eg If you give £10 to CP and "Gift Aid it" the Inland Revenue will add £2.50 to the value of the donation, at no extra cost to you, bringing it up to £12.50.For higher rate taxpayers there is an added advantage in that you can reclaim the marginal rate of tax for yourself by entering details of your Gift Aid donations on your Self Assessment form.
How can I give through Gift Aid?
To start making the most of Gift Aid, simply give Cats Protection a Gift Aid declaration. Give us a call or let us know when you make your donation & we can send the form out for you to fill in.Please remember that you must pay income tax and/or capital gains tax at least equal to the amount that we will reclaim on your donations.
When did it start?
In the case of donations made by individuals, Gift Aid covers payments that have been made in the last six years, but no earlier than 6 April 2000.
