UK CASC's are entitled to an attractive 25% (+ 2% Transitional Relief) enhancement added by the Inland Revenue on every £1 donated by UK taxpayers. Unfortunately, clubs often miss out on this extra income because it is time-consuming and too expensive to process the paperwork on small donations. Many CASCs also do not realise that Gift Aid can be reclaimed on donations going back to when they first registered!

Club Charity Services have solved the paperwork problem of Gift Aid reclaim for clubs by automating the process. The Online donation processes used here, is pre-checked and audited by the Inland Revenue.

What do I have to do?

Clubs who are interested in benefitting from this service should contact us to be included. Individuals who donate to the sport will be asked to confirm whether they are a UK taxpayer. Please note that tax can only be reclaimed on donations made by individuals who pay UK income or capital gains tax at least equal to the amount reclaimed on their donations in the current tax year. If in doubt, please use our Enquiry Form.

Benefits to higher-rate taxpayers

If you pay tax at the higher rate, you can reclaim tax relief on your gross donation at 18% (e.g. the difference between the higher rate of tax at 40% and the basic rate at 22%).

For example, if you give £100 we can reclaim an extra £25 for the charity and you can reclaim another £23.08. As a result, a £100 gift worth £125 to your favourite charity only costs you £76.92.

What if I am not a UK taxpayer?

The Gift Aid scheme is unique to the UK. If you are not a UK taxpayer, you can still make a donation, but your donation will not attract the 25% tax 'bonus'.
