Tax-Efficient Giving

If you are a UK taxpayer, we can claim an extra 25% in Gift Aid on top of your donation at no extra cost to you.

For the School to claim Gift Aid on your gift(s) you:

  • Must pay the same amount or more in UK income/capital gains tax in the year in which you make your gift(s); and
  • Make a Gift Aid declaration that gives the School permission to claim Gift Aid.

Additionally, higher and additional rate taxpayers can claim back the difference between basic tax rate and the higher rate of 40% or 45% on the gross value of their gift through Self Assessment.

For example: A gift of £100 (£125 including Gift Aid) would therefore be eligible for a rebate of £25 for a 40% taxpayer or £31.25 for a 45% taxpayer. Simply fill out the Gift Aid declaration form above and return to our office.
