How to fill out gift aid declaration

How to fill out a gift aid declaration:

1. Obtain a gift aid declaration form: The first step is to get hold of a gift aid declaration form. These forms are readily available from charities, online platforms, or can be obtained through specific events or fundraising activities.
2. Provide personal information: The gift aid declaration form will require you to provide your personal information. This typically includes your full name, address, and contact details. Make sure to provide accurate and up-to-date information.
3. Confirm your eligibility: Before filling out the declaration, ensure that you are eligible for gift aid. Usually, you must be a UK taxpayer and have paid sufficient income tax or capital gains tax in order for the charity to claim gift aid on your donations.
4. Specify the charity: Clearly state the name of the charity or charities you wish to support through gift aid. It is essential to accurately provide their registered charity number, which can usually be found on their website or other official documents.
5. Declaration statement: The gift aid declaration form will contain a declaration statement you need to read and agree to. This statement affirms that you understand the implications of gift aid, such as the charity receiving an additional 25% on top of your donation and confirming that the tax you have paid covers this amount.
6. Signature and date: Sign and date the gift aid declaration form. This indicates your consent to the charity claiming gift aid on your donations. It is important to sign and date the form before submitting it to the charity.

Who needs a gift aid declaration?

1. Individual taxpayers: Any individual who pays UK income tax or capital gains tax can benefit from filling out a gift aid declaration. This includes employed individuals, self-employed individuals, and retirees with taxable income.
2. Donors supporting eligible charities: Those who wish to donate to eligible charities and want their donations to be eligible for gift aid can voluntarily complete a gift aid declaration. This allows the charity to claim the additional 25% from the government on top of the donation.
3. UK taxpayers with sufficient tax payments: To be eligible for gift aid, individuals must have paid sufficient income tax or capital gains tax to cover the amount claimed by the charity. This ensures that the tax relief granted to the charity is not more than the tax paid by the taxpayer.

Remember, if your circumstances change, such as no longer being a UK taxpayer, it is important to notify the charity and stop making gift aid declarations to avoid any complications.
