We can reclaim an extra 25 per cent of your membership subscriptions and/or donations.
- Anyone who is a UK income or capital gains taxpayer can make a Gift Aid declaration – you just need to pay enough tax to cover all your donations to charity.
- One Gift Aid declaration covers your current and future donations and membership subscriptions. An option is also available to backdate your Gift Aid contribution for up to four years by speaking to the Treasurer or Membership Secretary (treasurer@cardiff-astronomical-society.co.uk or membership.secretary@cardiff-astronomicalsociety.co.uk).
- Please note that, if required, we will share relevant and necessary data with HM Revenue and Customs to enable us to reclaim the Gift Aid on your donation.
- Gift Aid is not a method of payment, so you still pay your subscription in the usual way.
- You can cancel or amend your Gift Aid declaration at any time simply by contacting the Treasurer or Membership Secretary (treasurer@cardiff-astronomical-society.co.uk or membership.secretary@cardiff-astronomicalsociety.co.uk).
- We cannot claim Gift Aid on any donations made via tax efficient giving mechanisms such as Charities Aid Foundation (CAF), as these payments have already had tax relief applied.
- If you have any further questions, please speak to the Treasurer or email treasurer@cardiff-astronomical-society.co.uk.
- Please note that we cannot reclaim tax on gift membership subscriptions.
