Gift Aid

What if I’m a pensioner?We can still claim the full 25% on your donations, providing you pay at least as much tax as we will be reclaiming in the year in which you made your gifts. As a pensioner, for example, you may still pay tax on a private pension scheme or a savings account, or pay Capital Gains Tax if you sell property or shares.

I’ve already completed a declaration for another charity. Do I need to complete one for Julia’s House?Yes. You will need to complete a separate form for each charity you want to benefit from Gift Aid.

I’ve already completed a declaration for my donated goods in the Julia’s House shops. Do I need to complete one for any monetary donations?Yes please. Our fundraising office is at a different address so it really helps to keep our administration in order.

What else does ticking the Gift Aid box commit me to?Nothing at all. It just ensures that, if you donate to us, we can claim money back from HM Revenue and Customs. We will not share this information with anyone else.

How long does my declaration last for?Until you tell us to stop. At the moment, and as long as you remain eligible, your declaration lets us reclaim past (up to four years), present and future donations.

What if I change my mind, or I’m no longer paying tax?Please contact us either by post at the address below or by email at info@juliashouse.org and tell us that you no longer wish us to claim the tax on your gift.

I am not a UK taxpayer

I want to Gift Aid this donation to Julia’s House and any donations I make in the future or have made in the past 4 years

I am a UK taxpayer and understand that if I pay less Income Tax and/or Capital Gains Tax than the amount of Gift Aid claimed on all my donations in that tax year, it is my responsibility to pay any difference.

Date

Gift Aid ExplainedWhat is Gift Aid?It’s a scheme introduced by the government, which allows charities to reclaim the tax that supporters have already paid on their donations. For every £1 donated, the taxman gives us an extra 25p, so our income from your donation increases by a quarter. We can only claim on donations made within the last four years; tax unclaimed before this will be lost.

Why 25p per £1?It’s linked to the current basic rate of income tax (which is currently 20%). As a basic rate taxpayer, for every £1.25 you earn, you will pay 25p to the taxman and receive £1 in your pocket. It is this 25p we claim back.

Am I eligible?If you are a UK taxpayer and have paid enough income or capital gains tax in the financial year (April to April) to cover the amount we’ll reclaim, then yes, please complete a Gift Aid Declaration.

Where can I get a Gift Aid Declaration form?The form on the opposite page contains all the information we will need to claim the additional Gift Aid on your behalf. Please complete your details and return it to us at Julia’s House. By completing this form we will no longer need to ask for these details unless you change your address.

I’m not eligible; should I still return the form?Yes please. It would be a huge help if you could return a declaration to us letting us know not to claim. This way, we won’t contact you about Gift Aid again in the future, saving us time and money.

What if I’m a higher-rate taxpayer?We can only claim the basic rate back, but this is still extremely valuable. You will also be able to claim additional personal tax relief on your Self-Assessment Form.
