Gift Aid declaration template text
-- CHECK ONLY IF YOU HAVE MADE A DONATION ---
I want to Gift Aid my donation to [Charity Name].
I am a UK taxpayer and understand that if I pay less Income Tax and/or Capital Gains Tax in the current tax year than the amount of Gift Aid claimed on all my donations it is my responsibility to pay any difference.
I will notify the charity if:
- I want to cancel this declaration
- I change my name or home address
- I no longer pay sufficient tax on my income and/or capital gains
If I pay Income Tax at the higher or additional rate and want to receive the additional tax relief due to me, I must include all my Gift Aid donations on my Self-Assessment tax return or ask HM Revenue and Customs to adjust my tax code.
