How Gift Aid Works for UK Taxpayers
Gift Aid is not currently being claimed by this campaign. Read HMRC’s Gift Aid requirements for the conditions that apply.
Gift Aid is an HMRC tax relief scheme that enables registered UK charities to reclaim the basic-rate tax already paid on eligible donations made by UK taxpayers. Under standard HMRC rules, for every £1 you donate, a registered charity can claim an extra 25p from HMRC — boosting the value of your donation by 25% at zero additional cost to you.
HMRC Gift Aid Calculation Examples
To illustrate how Gift Aid enhances donor impact once active for a registered charity:
| Donor Gift Amount | HMRC Tax Reclaimed (25%) | Total Value to Charity | Impact Equivalent |
|---|---|---|---|
| £25 | +£6.25 | £31.25 | Funds 1 complete screening + educational materials. |
| £100 | +£25.00 | £125.00 | Funds 5 complete screening consultations. |
| £500 | +£125.00 | £625.00 | Funds 25 screenings or 8 diagnostic biopsies. |
Higher-Rate and Additional-Rate Taxpayer Relief
If you pay UK Income Tax at the higher rate (40%) or additional rate (45%), you can claim personal tax relief on the difference between the basic rate and your higher rate through your annual HMRC Self Assessment tax return or by asking HMRC to adjust your PAYE tax code.
- Basic Rate Taxpayer (20%): Charity reclaims 25p per £1. You pay no extra.
- Higher Rate Taxpayer (40%): Charity reclaims 25p per £1. You can claim back a further 20% (25p per £1 donated) on your Self Assessment.
- Additional Rate Taxpayer (45%): Charity reclaims 25p per £1. You can claim back a further 25% (31.25p per £1 donated) on your Self Assessment.
