As a supporter of EMICS you
will know how hard we work to ensure that every penny we raise goes as
far as it can to equip doctors with the necessary up-to-date equipment
to carry out their vital work. Through Gift Aid, you can help us make
your donations go 28% further and it won’t cost you a penny!
How does it work? So long as you are a UK
taxpayer, Gift Aid enables you to boost the value of your donations by
as much as 28p for every £1 you give to your favourite charity. So, for
example, if you decide to give £10 to EMICS we will be able to claim an
extra £2.80 from HM Revenue & Customs. It might not sound like a lot,
but every penny really does count! What is more, if you are a higher
rate taxpayer, you are entitled to claim tax relief on your donations,
enabling you to reclaim as much as 23p from every £1 donated to charity.
What do you need to do? To donate through Gift
Aid, all you need to do is complete a simple declaration (orally or in
writing) confirming that you are a taxpayer and that you are happy for
us to claim tax relief on your donation. Just one declaration can apply
to all donations that you have made to us over the past 6 years and to
any forthcoming gifts you make, until you notify them otherwise. It is
that simple.
