Make your donation worth a quarter more with Gift Aid Declaration – enabling us to claim tax back from the government.
Gift Aid is a government scheme which enables registered charities in the United Kingdom to claim the tax back from the Inland Revenue on donations.
How it works
If you are currently a UK taxpayer, and you fill out a Gift Aid Declaration when you make a donation we can claim back 25p for every £1 that you donate.
Once you have signed your Gift Aid Declaration it is valid for all gifts in the future and for any gifts you have made to us in the six years prior to signing the Declaration.
To declare all the donations you have made in the last six years, and any you may give in the future eligible for Gift Aid, you should contact supporter services on 020 7239 3131 or email supportercare@gosh.org.
Alternatively you can download, complete and return a Gift Aid form.
In detail
You can make a Gift Aid Declaration in respect of one or all donations made to Great Ormond Street Hospital Children's Charity in the past six years, and the Declaration can last indefinitely.
The Declaration will be effective as long as you pay United Kingdom income and/or capital gains tax equal to or greater than the tax paid on your donation.
Great Ormond Street Hospital Children's Charity will claim back tax at the basic rate, so if you are a higher rate taxpayer you can claim further tax relief on your Self-Assessment form.
You can make a Declaration and join the scheme by post or by email or you can call 020 7239 3131 to make a Declaration. You will have 30 days to cancel, if necessary, before a claim is made. You are able to cancel at any time after that, should your circumstances change.
You must keep the charity informed of changes in your tax status and changes of name and/or address.
For further information or to discuss your eligibility please contact supporter services at supportercare@gosh.org or on 020 7239 3131.
