Gift Aid increases the value of gifts received by the College from UK tax payers. It also allows higher-rate tax payers to reclaim tax relief on donations to charity. With Gift Aid, we are able to reclaim an additional 25p pence for every pound donated by UK tax payers who submit a Gift Aid declaration.

To reclaim Gift Aid the donor must pay income and/or capital gains tax at least equal to the amount that will be reclaimed.

If you are a higher rate taxpayer, you are also entitled to claim the difference between the basic rate (20% as of 6th April 2008), and the higher rate (currently 40%) on the gross value of their gift – which is calculated before the transitional relief described above. So for a gift of £100, the gross value would be £125 and a higher rate taxpayer could claim back £25, in effect only spending £75.
