Tax-efficient giving
-
Gift Aid
Hertford College is a registered charity in the UK, which means that UK tax-payers can add Gift Aid to their donations.All we need is a declaration from you that you are a UK taxpayer (e.g. an email saying ‘I confirm I am a UK tax-payer’) and your home address (as registered with HMRC) – and immediately your donation will be worth 20% more.
-
Reclaiming tax on your self-assessment
For higher rate tax-payers, it is also possible to reclaim the difference between the basic and higher rate of tax on your self-assessment tax return – which effectively means that your donation will cost you less.
For example: a higher rate tax payer makes a monthly donation of £100. At the end of the year s/he has given £1,200, which with Gift Aid is worth £1,500 to the college.
If s/he fills in a self-assessment tax return at the end of the year s/he can reclaim £300, which means the gift has cost £900, or £75 a month.
