As a registered Charity, Friends of Trinity Academy EFMT is able to claim Gift Aid on eligible donations. If you complete a Gift Aid Declaration, we may be able to claim up to an additional 25% on your generous donation.
Gift Aid
As our PTA is a registered charity, we are able to raise money through Gift Aid. This is tax claimed back from the Inland Revenue from donations made to us out of your earned income and can really boost funds for the school.
Once we have your Gift Aid form every time you support the Friends with an eligible donation we get extra cash. If you are a UK tax payer, we are able to claim 25p in every pound that you donate to our PTA. It couldn’t be simpler to do, we ask parents to sign the declaration form to confirm you are a UK taxpayer, you only need to sign it once, and you can cancel it at any time.
There’s nothing else for you to do and we don’t need any other information from you. Gift Aid is taken on trust and you can support more than one charity in this way. If you are a UK taxpayer, please take the time to download and complete the declaration form below.
Gift Aid Declaration
Do you pay higher rate of tax?
If you pay a higher rate of tax you can benefit from tax relief on your donation. Please see the HMRC website for more details www.hmrc.gov.uk/individuals/giving/gift-aid.htm#4
Payroll Giving
Payroll Giving is a scheme which allows anyone who pays UK income tax to give regularly on a tax free basis to the charities and good causes of their choice. Payroll Giving donations are deducted before tax so each £1.00 you give will only cost you 80p, and if you’re a higher rate tax payer it will only cost you 60p.
Employees can choose to support Friends of Trinity Academy EFMT with a regular donation direct from their pay. It’s cheaper because it’s tax free – for example, a donation of £5 per month costs the basic rate tax payer £4.00. The taxman pays the rest!
Higher rate taxpayers- the only way to pass on your 40% or 45% tax to charities. Only 28% can be recouped via other ways of giving. If you would like to support the Friends through Payroll Giving, please ask your employer about the scheme.
Company Matched Giving
Company matched giving is very simple. Employers pledge to donate to a charity such as Friends of Trinity Academy EFMT an amount of money relating to the amount that the employee donates or fundraises for us.
As a Friends group we hope to benefit from this type of donation so if you think that your employer has a matched giving scheme already in operation, or if you would like some more information about setting up a scheme in your workplace, please talk to the Treasurer of the Friends.
