Gift Aid

Boost the total value of your donation by 25% at no extra cost to yourself!

What is Gift Aid?

Gift Aid is a government scheme which allows UK charities to claim back the basic rate tax already paid on donations by you. This means that we can claim back 25p for every £1 donated from the government, on your behalf. This boosts the total value of the donation by 25%! All at no extra cost to yourself!

By completing the declaration form below, we can claim Gift Aid on your donations to us over the last 4 years, and any donations you make in the future – unless you tell us otherwise.

If you are a UK taxpayer the value of your gift can increase by 25% at no extra cost to you(Required)

I am a UK taxpayer and would like Islamic Relief to reclaim tax on all donations I have made within the last four years and all donations that I make hereafter.

I understand that if I pay less Income Tax and/or Capital Gains Tax than the amount of Gift Aid claimed on all my donations in that tax year it is my responsibility to pay any difference. Please remember to notify Islamic Relief: if you want to cancel this declaration, change your name or home address or no longer pay sufficient tax on your income and/or capital gains.

Frequently Asked Questions

Gift Aid can be claimed on donations from you provided they are gifts. If your donations fall into any of the following categories, then it would not be eligible for Gift Aid.

From limited companies
Made through Payroll Giving
To enter a competition e.g. a raffle or sweepstake
On behalf of someone else or a group of people e.g. collection from work colleagues
From charity cards or of vouchers, for example Charities Aid Foundation (CAF) vouchers

Gift Aid allows Islamic Relief UK to claim basic rate tax of 20% on your donation. However, higher rate taxpayers pay 40% tax.

So, if you’re a higher rate taxpayer, you can claim, from HMRC, the difference between the basic rate of tax claimed by Islamic Relief UK on your donation, and the higher rate of tax you actually pay. Here’s an example:

You are a higher rate taxpayer (you pay tax at 40%) and donate £100 to us
We claim back basic rate tax of 20% from HMRC. That’s 25p for every £1 donated, so we claim £25, making your total donation £125
You can claim the difference between the 40% rate of tax and the basic rate of tax of 20% claimed by us on your gross donation.
That’s a 20% difference. So, you can claim 20% of £125 (a total of £25) from HMRC

No. To make it easy for both you and Islamic Relief UK, the declaration wording covers present, future and past donations.
