Tax Effective Giving

There are many ways to increase the impact of your donation through tax-effective giving:

Gift Aid

Gift Aid allows charities, such as Restless Development, to claim the basic rate of tax on donations received from UK taxpayers. This is currently 20%.

If you pay tax at the higher rate of Income Tax, currently 40%, you can also claim tax relief for yourself at 20% of the gross donation, or 25p for every £1 they give through Gift Aid.

How this works:

You give Restless Development £100.00

We claim from HMRC basic rate Income Tax on gross gift (£125 @ 20%) £25.00

Transitional Relief £3.20

Total Restless Development receives £128.20

Declarations can be given in writing, either by post, text message, fax, email or online.

Payroll Giving

Payroll Giving is a scheme that enables employees to give to charity straight from your gross salary (before tax is deducted), and to receive immediate tax relief of up to £5 for every £10 donated.

For an employer, Payroll Giving is simple and inexpensive to set up and run. Payroll Giving is a great way for businesses to demonstrate commitment to the causes that their employees care about.

Companies can claim tax relief on any employee donations, as detailed below.
