Gift Aid
If you gift aid your donation to the School we can reclaim £2.50 for every £10 that you give provided that you are a UK tax payer.
If you are a higher rate taxpayer, then you can claim back the difference between the higher rate of tax at 40 per cent or 50 per cent and the basic rate of tax at 20 per cent on the total value of the donation. This can be done in your tax return.
| Donation to School | £10.00 | £100.00 |
| Tax claimed by School under Gift Aid | £2.50 | £25.00 |
| Gross donation | £12.50 | £125.00 |
| Additional tax claimable by 40% tax payers |
£2.50 | £25.00 |
| Additional tax claimable by 50% tax payers |
£3.75 | £37.50 |
You must pay at least as much UK tax (Income Tax and/or Capital Gains Tax) as the amount of Income Tax that you're reclaiming. If you make a number of Gift Aid donations, you must pay a sufficient amount of UK tax on the total amount of those donations and you may be required to pay any shortfall in tax paid to HMRC.
Please note the Gift Aid Terms and Conditions:
- The Gift Aid scheme applies only to personal donations.
- If in the future your circumstances change and you no longer pay tax on your income and capital gains equal to the tax that the Foundation reclaims, you can cancel your declaration by notifying the Development Office.
- If you pay tax at the higher rate, you can claim further tax relief in your Self-Assessment tax return.
- If you are unsure whether your donations qualify for Gift Aid tax relief, please contact the Abingdon School Development Office or ask your local tax office for advice.
Please notify the Development Office if you change your name or address while the declaration is still in force.
