Gift Aid Declaration for the Cumbria Bird Club (CBC)

 If you are a UK tax payer and fill out the details below, CBC can claim the tax back on your donations and membership. You will not incur any additional charges. Please return the form to the Treasurer:

 Your details:

Title: …………Forename(s): ………………………         Surname: ………………………

Address:…………………………………………………
……………………………………………………………
…………………………………………………                  Postcode: ………………………

I want CBC to treat all donations and subscriptions I have made since 6 April 2000 and all those I make from the date of this declaration until I notify you otherwise as Gift Aid donations.

 Signature ………………………………………………Date: ………………….

 Notes:

·          Please notify CBC if you change your name or address while the declaration is in force.

·          You can cancel the declaration at any time by notifying CBC – it will then not apply to donations that you make on or after the date of cancellation or such later date as you specify.

·          You must pay an amount of income tax and/or capital gains tax at least equal to the tax that the charity reclaims on your donations in the tax year (currently 28p for each £1 you give). This does not mean that you have additional tax to pay, only that you have already paid tax on earnings, profits or capital gains. The Revenue effectively repay this tax to us.

·          If your future circumstances change and you no longer pay tax equal to the tax that the charity reclaims, you can cancel your declaration.

·          If you pay higher rate tax, you can claim further tax relief in your Self Assessment tax return.
