Home What you can do Fundraising Gift Aid

Gift Aid



As part of the Gift Aid scheme it is now possible for charities to reclaim the tax you pay on your donation if you are a basic rate tax payer - and it won't cost you a penny extra.

If you are a 40% tax payer you will also be able to reclaim the difference between the basic rate of tax and the higher rate.

To ensure that any gift you donate to CLDF is treated as a gift aid donation please tick the appropriate box on the online donation form or download the gift aid form (PDF, 53KB) and return it with your donation – thank you.

Please note

1) In order for CLDF to reclaim the tax on donations, the person making the donation must pay an amount of income tax or capital gains tax at least equal to the tax we reclaim from the Inland Revenue.  

2) Please ensure that the standing order/direct debit from a joint account and the declaration are signed by the tax payer. 

3) If this declaration covers donations you may make in the future:

a) You may cancel this declaration at any time (and must do so if you cease to be a UK taxpayer or no longer pay tax on your income or capital gains equal to the tax CLDF reclaims) by notifying CLDF.

b) Please inform CLDF if you change address whilst this declaration is in force.  

If you are unsure whether your donations qualify for Gift Aid tax relief, email the fundraising team or call 0121 212 6022.
