Gift Aid
Boost your donations by 25% when you sign up to Gift Aid. It only takes a minute and costs you nothing.
Gift Aid is one of the simplest and most effective ways of making your donations go further, as it allows us to reclaim the basic rate tax you have already paid on your donations as a UK taxpayer.
It means that for every ÂŁ1 you donate to Britten Pears Arts, we can claim an extra 25p of tax, at no extra cost to you. All you need to do is to make sure your postal address in your account are up to date, and then click this link to accept the Gift Aid declaration.
For example:
For a donation of ÂŁ10 this is an additional ÂŁ2.50 to the Britten Pears Arts. If you pay tax at one of the higher rates of tax, 40% or above, you might also be able to claim back an additional ÂŁ2.50 or more. Britten Pears Arts receives ÂŁ12.50 and the cost to a 40% taxpayer is only ÂŁ7.50.
You just need to have paid enough tax to cover the Gift Aid donations you make in the tax year.
You can cancel your declaration at any time simply by getting in touch, either by calling us on 01728 687116 or by sending an email with your details to: joinus@brittenpearsarts.org. For full details of the Gift Aid scheme, please visit: www.hmrc.gov.uk/individuals.
