Gift Aid Declaration Scheme



Make your donation to the church go further at no extra cost to you.  Gift Aid is a Government run scheme that allows us to reclaim the tax on your donation.  For every £1 you donate, we get an extra 28p back, making your donation go further at no extra cost to you.

Gift Aid Declaration Forms are available from the Presbytery and once completed, you can then donate to the Church by Offertory Envelopes with your number on or by Bank Standing Order or by Cheque made payable to 'St Felix Parish'.

Gift aid rules (hmrc.gov.uk)

Donors must:
  • pay enough UK income tax and/or capital gains tax themselves to cover the amount of tax the charity will reclaim
  • give the charity a gift aid declaration, which should include
- their name
- their home address
- the charity’s name
- details of the donation – saying that it is a gift aid donation
- confirmation that they have paid UK tax – to cover the tax the charity will reclaim.


A declaration can be made to cover individual donations, a series of donations, can cover donations made during a specified period or to cover all future donations. They can also be backdated for up to 6 years prior to the date of the declaration provided the donation was made since 6 April 2000. 

Our Gift Aid co-ordinator is Alan Lamberton.
