What is Gift Aid?
Gift Aid is a
simple scheme that allows a charity to increase the value of
your donations by 28% - at no extra cost to you. With Gift
Aid, a £100 donation becomes £128.00 - giving us
an additional £28.00 to spend on building a better future.
All that is required is a one off declaration from you that
can be made by post, oral or online and we'll do the rest.

How do I know if I'm a Tax payer?
You are a UK tax
payer if:
1. Tax is taken from your wages or salary before you receive
your pay.
2. You have to fill in a self-assessment form each year.
3. You have any taxable savings (in a Building Society, for
instance), or a pension plan, or investment income.
4. If you have recently paid any capital gains tax, or expect
to pay it in the near future. This could be on the sale of a property or some
shares, for example.

What if I don't pay UK tax?

What if I'm a higher rate tax
payer?
Islamic Relief can only claim back at the 'basic rate' of 28% and you are entitled to claim further tax relief from the Inland Revenue. From April 2004, you will be able to use your self assessment tax return form nominating Islamic Relief to receive the other 18%. The code for Islamic Relief is RAG42LG.

What if I'm a lower rate tax payer?
If you pay a lower
rate (10 per cent or 20 per cent), Islamic Relief can still
claim back 28p for each £1 you donate, provided you pay
enough tax to cover the claim in the tax
year you make the gift(s).

Why does it work out 28p for every
pound given?
The payment for £1
is treated as the net after tax from £1.28 (£1.28
minus 22 per cent is approximately £1). Islamic Relief
gets back the 28 pence.

What does the Gift Aid declaration commit me to?
Absolutely nothing! It just ensures
that if you choose to donate to Islamic Relief, we can claim an extra 28 per
cent back from the Inland Revenue.

anyone else.
