Gift Aid Declaration
Click the top right corner, or back on the page, to close this window.
If you are a UK taxpayer, and you sign the Gift Aid declaration, then Sea of Faith can reclaim from HM Revenue & Customs 25p for each pound of your payment, but excluding the cost of the magazine, i.e. for each individual member, paying a subscription of £30, £15 can be treated as Gift Aided.
Any additional donation can also be Gift Aided and if the total payment, subscription plus donation, is £60 or more, then the whole amount, including the cost of the magazine, can be treated as Gift Aided and the member becomes a Sponsor.
But please note: You must pay an amount of income tax and/or capital gains tax at least equal to the tax that the Trust reclaims on your donations in the tax year (currently 25p for each £1 you give). You can cancel this declaration at any time; notifying the Trust by writing to the Network Secretary. If in the future your circumstances change and you no longer pay sufficient tax, you should cancel your declaration.
