UK Gift Aid
Gift Aid is a way for charities to increase the value of monetary gifts from UK taxpayers by claiming back the basic rate tax paid by the donor. It can increase the value of donations by 28% at no extra cost to the donor.
Gift Aid is an easy way to help Umoja UK to maximise the value of donations we receive, as we can reclaim tax from HM Revenue & Customs (HMRC). This means that for every £1 donated, we receive 28 pence, so the total value of the donation is £1.28.
If you are a higher rate taxpayer and would like to donate to Umoja UK, then you too can benefit from tax relief as you can claim back the difference between the higher rate of tax and the basic rate of tax!
As the donor you must pay at least as much UK tax (Income Tax and/or Capital Gains Tax) as the amount of Income Tax that we are reclaiming.
You must declare that you understand the tax requirements and that you would like Umoja to claim Gift Aid from your donation. To do this you must fill in a Gift Aid Declaration form and post it to us using our Umoja UK address.
