Question 1

What is a Gift Aid declaration?

Accepted Answer

A Gift Aid declaration is a statement made by an individual taxpayer confirming that they would like MHA to reclaim tax on their donations.

Question 2

How long does the declaration last for?

Accepted Answer

A Gift Aid declaration covers past, present and future donations made to MHA. We can claim Gift Aid on past donations that have been made in the last four years and we can continue to claim Gift Aid unless you tell us otherwise.

Question 3

How can I change or cancel my Gift Aid declaration?

Accepted Answer

Please notify MHA if you want to cancel, change your name or home address, or no longer pay sufficient tax on your income and/or capital gains.

You can do so by completing the Gift Aid declaration form on this webpage.

Question 4

I’m a pensioner. Do my donations qualify for Gift Aid?

Accepted Answer

Income from state pensions alone is unlikely to qualify as you’d need to earn above the personal allowance threshold to pay income tax.

If this is your only source of income, we advise that you check with your tax office before completing a declaration.

Question 5

Can I claim Gift Aid on my company's donation?

Accepted Answer

Gift Aid can be claimed on donations from individuals. Company donations do not qualify for Gift Aid.

Your donations go further with Gift Aid
