UK charities are entitled to 28% tax reclaim from the Inland Revenue on every £1 donated by UK taxpayers - at no extra cost to you.

For example, for every £10 donated, the Niemann-Pick Disease Group (UK) can claim an extra £2.82 from the Inland Revenue. Once you have signed a Gift Aid form, we can claim Gift Aid on any future donations you may make to the charity as well. If you pay tax at the higher rate, you can reclaim tax relief on your gross donation at 18% (eg 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 £28.21 for the charity and you can reclaim another £23.08. As a result, a £100 gift worth £128.21 to your favourite charity only costs you £76.92. For your donations to qualify for Gift Aid you have to pay enough income and/or capital gains tax in the year to match the tax that the Niemann-Pick Disease Group (UK) claims back.

Please let the Group know if you move house, the amount of tax you're paying changes or you no longer want the Group to claim back the tax.
If you donate to the Group using Just Giving, they will automatically complete the process of Gift Aid reclaim so that every £1 you give is worth more, and costs less to administer.

Unfortunately, donors from the Republic of Ireland cannot give under the Gift Aid scheme, as the 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 28% tax 'bonus'.

What do I have to do?
When you donate, you will be asked to confirm whether or not you 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 contact us for advice.

How the NPDG (UK) make a Gift Aid claim: Sponsored Events
To enable the Group to make a claim on donations raised from sponsorship, we have to complete a returns form for the Inland Revenue. The information required is sponsor's full name, address, postcode, amount of gift, date given and the gift aid box on the sponsorship form has to be ticked.
If any of these individual pieces of information are not given or are not completed in full, then the claim is not valid.
