Gift Aid
What is Gift Aid?
With Gift Aid, Start Her Enterprise is able to claim back the tax paid on your donation.
This gives us an extra 25p per £1 you donate – at no additional cost to you.
We claim this directly from the Inland Revenue, making your gifts worth even more to the women whose lives are transformed through the work of our partners.
If you are a UK taxpayer, or you pay income tax and/or capital gains tax, you can sign up for Gift Aid by ticking the box when donating online, or through this form:
Frequently asked questions
If you pay the same amount of tax (income tax and/or capital gains tax) in a year as SHE, and any other charities you donate to, are going to claim back from the Inland Revenue, your donation will qualify for Gift Aid.
For example, if you donate £100 in the current tax year to SHE, we can claim back £25. This means that, for your donation to qualify, you need to have paid just £25 in tax over the full year.
If you donate to other charities and Community Amateur Sports Clubs (CASCs), you need to have paid an amount of income tax and/or capital gains tax at least equal to the tax that all charities and CASCs you donate to will reclaim on your donations in the given tax years (currently 25p per £1 given).
If you pay tax at the higher rate of 40%, SHE can still only reclaim tax at the basic rate of 20%. However, you can claim tax relief at 20% of your gross donation, which works out as 25p per £1 given. You can do so through your annual tax return or by getting in touch with your tax office.
If you are a pensioner, it is still possible that you pay tax on your private pension or a savings account, or pay capital gains tax. If you do, please complete and return your form so we know that you are a UK taxpayer.
Just let us know if your circumstances change and you no longer pay tax, or enough tax, and we will make sure that Gift Aid is only reclaimed on gifts up to the date you contact us. Call +44 (0) 20 3758 7700 or email hello@startherenterprise.org.
