Gift Aid
Gift aid is tax relief on money donated to UK charities. UK charities are entitled to 28% tax reclaim from
the Inland Revenue on every 1 donated by UK taxpayers. Please note that tax can only be reclaimed on
donations made by individuals who pay UK income or capital gains tax at least equal to the amount
reclaimed on their donations in the current tax year. If you pay tax at the higher rate, you can reclaim tax
relief on your gross donation at 18% (eg the difference between the higher rate of tax at 40% and the
basic rate at 22%).
Legacies
The following wording may be incorporated into a will:

the sum of £.......... and I declare that the receipt of the Treasurer for the time being of the said
Foundation shall be a sufficient discharge to my Executors/Trustees who shall not be required to see
to the application thereof".
