Gift Aid
Don't forget, if you are a UK taxpayer you can Gift Aid your donation, allowing us to claim back the tax - currently 28p for every £1 you give
You can make any payments, large or small, regular or one-off, to Battersea Dogs & Cats Home under Charity Gift Aid. Simply complete the Gift Aid declaration, which requires you confirm you will pay an amount of income tax or capital gains tax equal to the tax we claim back on your donations.
Charity Gift Aid allows us to reclaim the basic rate on your donation from the Inland Revenue. This means the donation is worth an extra 28% to us, because we can claim back 28p for every £1 you give. If you are liable to the higher rate of income tax we can claim the difference (18% in 2001/02) between the higher rate of 40% and the basic rate of 22% on the entire donation.
If you make a one-off donation online or set up a Direct Debit, our donation processing agency Justgiving or CAF will handle the Gift Aid for us.
If you make a donation by post, the postal donation form includes Gift Aid or you can print off a Gift Aid form here and enclose it with your donation.
