Gift Aid (See below for details whether you qualify for this - if you do, please tick the box as it adds more than 20% from the taxman to everything you give us) *

I pay income tax in the UK and wish to Gift Aid my membership. I would like you to treat all membership and other donations made by me to Trauma Aid UK (formerly HAP UK & Ireland) since September 2010, and all future membership and other donations, as Gift Aid donations until I notify you otherwise.

Gift Aid Giving

The Government encourages giving to charity through its Gift Aid scheme. Gift Aid donations are regarded as having basic rate tax deducted by the donor.

HAP UK & Ireland take your donation, which is money you have already paid tax on, and reclaim the basic rate tax from HMRC on its ‘gross’ equivalent i.e. the amount before basic rate tax was deducted.

If you pay income tax at the higher rate, you must include all your Gift Aid donations on your Self Assessment tax return form if you want to receive the additional tax relief due to you.

The Declaration covers gifts made in any form – Standing Order, cheque or cash – so long as they can be identified as made by you. If your circumstances change and you no longer pay sufficient tax on your income or capital gains, or you change your name or home address, or if you want to cancel the declaration, please notify the Treasurer by completing this form (click the link).

If you are unsure whether your donations qualify for Gift Aid tax relief, you can obtain Inland Revenue leaflet IR113 Gift Aid from your tax office or go to this web address.
