Gift Aid - I am no longer eligible for this to be claimed

Gift Aid is a government scheme that allows charities, like us, to claim the tax back on donations. If you are a UK tax payer, you can increase your donation by 25% at no extra cost to you. All you need to do is to complete the following form, which should take no more than one minute of your time. Once this is done, we will do the rest, so for every £1 you have donated over the last 4 years and in the future, we will receive an additional 25 pence.




By completing this form you are confirming that:

  • You are a UK tax payer satisfying the requirements below:
  • You must have paid an amount of income or capital gains tax (VAT and council tax do not qualify) at least equal to the tax that all charities and Community Amateur Sports Clubs (CASCs) that you donate to will reclaim on your donations in the appropriate tax year). You understand the charity will reclaim 25p of tax on every £1 that you give.
  • You wish The Sheffield Cats Shelter to claim tax on all donations you have made 4 years prior to this date and from this date forward for all donations until you notify us otherwise.
  • You are not acting as a business in bringing goods in for sale to any of the shops belonging to The Sheffield Cats Shelter.
  • Please notify the charity if you:
    • Want to cancel this declaration
    • Change your name or home address
    • No longer pay sufficient tax on your income and/or capital gains 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 or your Self-Assessment tax return or ask HM Revenue and Customs to adjust your tax code.
