Gift Aid increase your donation at no extra cost The Gift Aid scheme is for gifts of money by individuals who pay UK tax. Gift Aid donations are regarded as having basic rate tax deducted by the donor. Vision is able to take your donation - which is money you've already paid tax on - and reclaim basic rate tax from HM Revenue & Customs on its 'gross' equivalent - the amount before basic rate tax was deducted. This means that if you give £10 with Gift Aid, it's worth £12.50 to Vision. For donations between 6 April 2008 and 5 April 2011 Vision will also get a separate government supplement of 3p on every pound you give. Vision (Rossendale) is a registered charity, no. 1138523. You can use Gift Aid if the amount of Income Tax and/or Capital Gains Tax you've paid in the tax year is at least equal to the amount of basic rate tax Vision (Rossendale) is reclaiming on your gift. If you make a number of donations you will need to consider the tax you've paid on each donation on an accumulative basis.
