Tax efficient giving for UK tax payers

UK tax payers can make tax efficient donations through Gift Aid.

By completing a Gift Aid Declaration Form, donors allow the College to reclaim the tax equivalent to the basic rate of income tax (20%).

An £800 gift would therefore be worth £1,000 to the College.

UK donors paying higher rates of income tax, either at 40% or 50%, can reclaim the difference between the basic rate and the highest rate of tax on the gross value of their gift through their self assessment tax return.  Higher rate tax payers who do not complete a self assessment form can contact their local tax office and reclaim the tax on their donation using a P810 form.  The reclaim can either be kept by the donor or donated back to Corpus.

The following examples show the full potential of gifts made to Corpus by a donor paying tax at each rate:

 Donation  Charity claims
Total donation  
Donor reclaims
Full potential*
Basic rate taxpayer (20%)   £800
 £200  £1,000  - £1,000
Higher rate taxpayer (40%)
 £800
 £200  £1,000
  £200 £1,200
Highest rate taxpayer (50%)  £800 £200 £1,000 £300
£1,300

*Full potential with Gift Aid added if higher rate relief is donated to Corpus.
