Gift Aid Donations
GIFT AID
Gift Aid is good news for the Church:
- It increases our offering by 28 per cent
|
- No minimum contribution is required
|
- No particular amount has to be promised
|
- There is no fixed term during which contributions must be made
|
- Tax may be recovered retrospectively to 6 April 2000
|
All that is required is that the donor must:
- pay UK income tax or capital gains tax, at any rate, at least equal to the amount of tax being reclaimed
|
- give offering through offering envelopes or by banker's order or cheque to establish the necessary audit trail
|
- sign a Gift Aid Declaration. This is a simple form which gives the name of the congregation and the donor's name and address (including postcode). The donor signs and dates the form under these words: "I want the congregation to treat all donations I have made since 6th April 2000, and all donations I make from the date of this declaration until I notify you otherwise, as Gift Aid donations."
