Gift Aid is a government programme that allows charities to claim back tax on donations.
With Gift Aid, Balliol receives an additional 25 pence from the HM Revenue & Customs for every pound received through a donation.
For example, through Gift Aid, your donation of £10 automatically becomes £12.50.
To have your donation go further, tick the checkbox on the form to use Gift Aid.
To qualify for Gift Aid, what you pay in income tax or capital gains tax must at least equal the amount we, and any other charities or CASCs (Community Amateur Sports Club) you donate to, will claim in the tax year.
If you pay Income Tax at the higher or additional rate and want to receive the additional tax relief due to you, you must include all your Gift Aid donations on your Self-Assessment tax return or ask HM Revenue and Customs to adjust your tax code.
