Frequently Asked Questions

What is Gift Aid? It is a Government scheme that allows you to increase the value of your donation by 25% at no extra cost to you. So for every £10 you donate, Emmaus Mossley can claim back £2.50, making your donation worth £12.50.

How much does it cost? Nothing – the money is reclaimed from HM Revenue and Customs out of tax you have already paid.

Do I have to make a minimum donation for Gift Aid to apply? No

Am I eligible for Gift Aid? Yes, if you are a UK taxpayer and have paid income tax or capital gains tax that is at least equal to the amount we reclaim. Documents like payslips will let you know how much tax you pay.

I’m a pensioner. Am I still eligible? Yes, if you pay tax – such as on a private pension plan or savings account, or on capital gains tax on the sale of property or shares. As long as you have paid enough tax to cover 25% of the value of your gifts, you qualify for Gift Aid.

What happens if I stop paying tax? Please tell us. We can then stop claiming Gift Aid on your donations.
