Gift Aid - How much will my gift aid contribution be worth? Expand For every £1 our members donate whether through membership or donations, HM Revenue and Customs currently gives RLSS UK 25p, which means that for each individual membership of £27.50, RLSS UK receives an additional £6.80.
Gift Aid - Won’t HM Revenue and Customs need to get in touch? Expand Once you’ve signed a Gift Aid declaration, you won’t pay any more in tax or need to fill in any additional forms.
Gift Aid - Are there any hidden charges? Expand No. Gift Aid is taken from tax you’ve already paid, so there’s no charge to you. It doesn’t affect your tax status either.
Gift Aid - Do I have to fill in a new declaration every year? Expand No. The declaration will stay in place for good, unless you tell us to cancel it. We do need to know if you stop being a tax payer or if you change your name or address though.
Gifit Aid - I am retired and living on the standard pension. Can I Gift Aid? Expand If you are no longer paying any tax, then no. However, if you have savings and pay Income or Capital Gains Tax of an equal or higher amount than we are trying to claim (currently 25p in the pound) then it’s ok.
Gift Aid - I pay for someone else’s subscription. Can I Gift Aid that? Expand No, I’m afraid it can only be from your subscription, on your membership, from your own money.
Gift Aid - Can I claim tax relief on Gift Aid? Expand If you are a higher rate taxpayer you can currently claim back 25p for every pound you’ve donated in tax relief from the HM Revenue and Customs.
Gift Aid - What if I give through Gift Aid to other charities? Expand That’s great. You can Gift Aid all your donations to different charities – you just have to tick the Gift Aid declaration for each charity and Community Amateur Sports Club you support.
