Gift Aid

Brian Dowd — Fri, 04 Mar 2011 13:27:09 +0000

During the forthcoming budget speech it is virtually certain that transitional rate relief will be abolished.

The effect on charities, such as ourselves, will be dramatic as the amount of repayment of tax available on qualifying Gift Aid donations will be reduced from 28.2% to 25% (a reduction of 11.35%). This shortfall can be redressed by parishioners who pay tax but have not completed a Gift Aid declaration.

By joining the Gift Aid scheme and extra 25% (tax rebate) can be gained by our parish on your donations.

A promotional leaflet is displayed on the notice board and question and answer sheets are available at the back of the church for interested Gift Aiders.

Gift Aid forms will be available in church on the weekend of 12/13th March 2011.
