Personal Declaration

I wish Global Brigades UK to claim Gift Aid on my donations. I confirm that I am a UK tax payer and have paid income and/ or capital gains tax at least equal to the tax to be reclaimed in this tax year by Global Brigades UK. I agree that Gift Aid can be claimed on all donations that I have made in the last four tax years, and all donations that I will make from this date until notified otherwise.

I am not an immediate family member of the brigader.

N.B. You must pay an amount of income tax and/or capital gains tax in each tax year (6 April one year to 5 April the next) at least equal to the tax that Global Brigades UK will reclaim from the HMRC on your gift aid donations (currently 25p for every £1 you give).

Notes:
1. Gift Aid works by allowing charities to reclaim tax on a donation’s ‘gross’ equivalent (its value before tax was deducted) at the basic rate. Basic rate tax is currently 20%, which allows charities to reclaim 25 pence on the pound plus a transitional relief of 3 pence on the pound granted by HMRC until 2011.

2. Higher rate tax payers can claim back the difference between basic rate and higher rate tax. If you pay tax at the higher rate, you can claim this further tax relief via your Self Assessment tax return. Donors who complete a Self Assessment tax return will have the option to gift back the higher rate element of the tax relief to MSF. Simply fill in our Charity Code: HAL18QG in box 19a of the Full SA tax return form or section 12 on the Short SA tax return. Donors who do not complete a Self Assessment tax return can call their tax office and have the higher rate relief reflected in their PAYE tax code.

3. If you do not pay tax, you should not use Gift Aid.

4. If your circumstances change and you no longer pay enough income or capital gains tax to cover the amount claimed by MSF, you can cancel your declaration by notifying the Global Brigades Fundraising team at (admin@globalbrigades.org). Your declaration will then not apply to donations you make on or after the date of cancellation or such later date as you specify.

5. Gift Aid declarations must be made in a single name and require a full residential address.

Are you sure you want to donate to the general fund, and not to a specific volunteer?
