Gift Aid

Gift Aid is good news for the Church:
  • It increases our offering by 28%
  • No minimum contribution is required
  • No particular amount has to be promised
  • There is no fixed term during which contributions must be made
  • Tax may be recovered retrospectively to 6 April 2000

All that is required is that the donor must:
  • pay UK income tax or capital gains tax, at any rate, at least equal to the amount of tax being reclaimed
  • give offering through offering envelopes or by banker's order or cheque to establish the necessary audit trail
  • sign a Gift Aid Declaration: you can download the Gift Aid Declaration form or contact us for a copy at admin@balfronchurch.org.uk.
