We work with amazing people to bring about positive and lasting change in some of the world's poorest places.
Tax efficient giving
Just a few moments of your time will help us deliver lasting change. Please help us if you can.
It's because of your generous support that we have been able to continue our vital work helping the poorest people throughout the developing world.
If you’re a PAYE-taxpayer and your donations to Trócaire total €250 or more in a year, we can claim tax back from the government. This will make a huge difference to the families and communities we support. If you are self-assessed for income tax, you can claim it to reduce your own tax, so the net cost of your donations to Trócaire will be much less.
If you've donated €250 or more in any of the past four years, you will receive a Revenue form in April to make your donation go even further – in the unlikely event you don’t receive it, you can download our easy-to-complete tax relief form here.
This will help in enabling us to claim up to €3 million from Revenue. Trócaire can claim an extra 25% of the value of your donations if you pay income tax at the standard rate of 20% while we can claim an extra 69% if you pay tax at the higher rate of 41% - see examples below.

If you are a UK taxpayer, the value of your donation to Trócaire can be increased dramatically – at no further cost to yourself. Under the Gift Aid scheme, for every £1 you donate, Trócaire will receive an additional 25p from HMRC.
All you need to do is complete a Gift Aid Declaration. You only need to complete the Declaration once, as it will cover any and all future donations you make. There is no minimum amount you need to donate - the only requirement is that you are a UK taxpayer. It’s that simple.

Higher rate taxpayers
If you pay UK tax at the higher rate, you too can benefit from tax relief as you can claim back the difference between the higher rate of tax at 40% and the basic rate of tax at 20% on the gross value of the donation.
