This is a scheme run by HMRC where you can ask them to pay any overpaid tax direct to a charity of your choice.
This can be entered into your self assessment form.
If you are a UK taxpayer you can add 25p to every pound you donate simply by completing the gift aid form.
The extra 25p is reclaimed by us from HMRC on your behalf – it does not cost you anything extra. If you have donated to Emmaus Bristol in the past, or plan to now or in the future, make sure we have your consent to Gift Aid by filling in this form. (You don’t need to use this form if you donate through Just Giving.)
