Fundraising
Jewish Care needs around £50 million a year to run 70 services and resources across London and the south east. Each year we need to raise around £15m from voluntary contributions to balance our budget.
Gift Aid increases the value of your donation to Jewish Care by allowing us to reclaim from the Government the basic rate tax you have already paid on your gift. If you pay tax at the higher rate you can claim extra relief on your donations. If you claim age-related allowances or tax credits, Gift Aid donations can sometimes increase your entitlement.
How Gift Aid works
The Gift Aid scheme is for gifts of money by UK taxpayers only. Jewish Care reclaims the basic rate tax from the Government on the 'gross' equivalent of your donation, i.e. - the amount before basic rate tax was deducted. Basic rate tax is currently 20 per cent, so this means that if you give £10 using Gift Aid, it’s worth £12.50 to Jewish Care.
Did you know?
For those with income of more than £150,000, the higher rate of tax was increased from 5th April 2010 to 50%. However, did you know that for those with incomes over £100,000 a year, the personal allowance will be restricted?
The amount of the allowance will be reduced by £1 for every £2 of income above £100,000, until it falls to zero. The effect of this will be a marginal rate of income tax of 60% in the band of approximately £100,000- £112,90, within which the allowance is being withdrawn. Are you one of those tax payers that won't appreciate their income is in the 60% rate until it is too late (i.e. after 5th April 2011)?
