Using Gift Aid when joining or renewing your membership will give us a boost from the government.
Please consider using Gift Aid with your application to join or renew as this will gives us an added income which helps with running costs, but only if you will be paying UK income tax in the current tax year. If you wish to do this, please indicate at the appropriate place during the application process and it costs you nothing.
Gift Aid Scheme and Conditions
HM Revenue & Customs will boost your subscription/donation by allowing us to claim an extra 25p for every £1 you give. It will not cost you any extra.
- You must be a UK taxpayer in the tax year in which you make the donation so that the Taxman can pay us that tax as Gift Aid.
- If you pay less Income Tax and/or Capital Gains Tax than the amount of Gift Aid claimed on all your donations in that tax year, it is your responsibility to pay any difference back to the Taxman.
- You must authorize us to claim it by ticking the box.
- Do not tick the box if you are not certain that you will be paying UK tax.
