Confused about Gift Aid? Read our frequently asked questions below. If you still have questions, please call our Fundraising Support Centre on 0300 1000 200.
If you are a UK tax payer, yes. Even if you are not employed, you are still eligible if you are paying tax on any of the following:
If you pay tax on a pension plan or savings account or pay capital gains tax if you sell property or shares, you are still eligible for Gift Aid.
Although donations made through the Charities Aid Foundation scheme are not eligible for Gift Aid, it is still worth completing the Gift Aid declaration. That way, should you decide to make a non-CAF donation at some point in the future, we'll be able to claim back Gift Aid straightaway.
No. There is no upper or lower limit to Gift Aid. We can reclaim the tax on any amount. And remember, for every £1 you give, we can reclaim 25p from the taxman.
No you won’t . This single Gift Aid declaration will cover any donation you have made to Macmillan Cancer Support in the past four years and all donations you make in the future.
Do I need to complete another one for Macmillan? Yes. You have to complete a separate form for each charity you want to benefit from Gift Aid.
No. We will make the claim to Her Majesty's Revenue and Customs on the tax you have already paid on your donations. This will not affect the tax you pay in any way.
No. Once you have completed the Gift Aid declaration there are no more forms for Her Majesty's Revenue and Customs to complete.
Absolutely not. It just means that if you do give to Macmillan again, we can claim an extra 25p for every £1 you give.
There really is no catch. You just complete the declaration and we claim the money from the Government without it costing you a penny.
