Why Gift Aid Matters
If you are a taxpayer in the UK, you may be able to increase
every gift you make to Girlguiding UK at no extra cost to yourself
through Gift Aid. This means Her Majesty's Revenue and Customs
will add an extra 25p to every £1 you donate.
To make a Gift Aid donation, you must pay at
least as much Income Tax (and/or Capital Gains Tax) as the amount
of tax reclaimed by Girlguiding UK. This is currently 25 pence for
every pound you donate.
Even if you are not employed, you are still eligible if you are
paying tax on any of the following:
- Personal or occupational pension.
- Stocks and shares.
- Bank and building society savings accounts.
- Rental income.
- Overseas and UK investment dividends.
