About Gift Aid
Use Gift Aid to make the money you give worth more!
Gift Aid is one of the easiest ways to make your membership subscription or donation tax effective.
BCT reclaims the basic rate tax from the Inland Revenue. If you are a UK taxpayer, for every £1 that you donate to the Bat Conservation Trust (BCT), we can currently claim an extra 25p from the Inland Revenue. There is no extra cost to you and the process is simple – all you have to do is make a Gift Aid declaration.
A Gift Aid declaration is simply a statement by an individual taxpayer that they would like BCT to reclaim the tax paid on their subscription or donation from the Inland Revenue. It doesn't commit you to anything else and best of all, it doesn't cost you a penny! All you have to do is sign/tick the Gift Aid declaration when joining BCT or making a donation. It really is that simple.
To qualify for Gift Aid, what you pay in income / capital gains tax must equal or exceed the amount BCT will reclaim in the tax year (currently 25p for every £1 donated).
