Swanage Croquet Club is registered with HMRC as a Community Amateur Sports Club  (CASC). This means that you can boost your donation by 25p of Gift Aid for every £1.00 you donate. 

 

Gift Aid is reclaimed by the club from the tax you pay for the current tax year. This means donors have to be a tax payer and complete a simple declaration form confirming your address so you can be identified as a current UK taxpayer. We will then do the rest.

 

Gift aid is a great way to increase club funds without costing you an extra penny and will help us to improve our facilities and maintain the lawns and equipment. 

 

To Gift Aid a donation please open the form here. Doing so will download a Word document.

 

Are you a business?

 

Business partnerships can also gift aid donations. These are treated as coming from the individual partners in equal shares (or agreed proportions), provided each partner makes a valid gift aid declaration. 

 

Incorporated companies can also claim tax relief on charitable donations. This is called Corporate Gift Aid with the donation being deducted from company profits to reduce their corporation tax.  In so doing the company makes the donation gross to the charity and the relief comes through lower profits enabling the company to get a direct tax saving.

 

Please let us know if your business would like to make a donation to the club and our Treasurer will get in touch with you to discuss further.
