HOW TAX EFFICIENT GIVING WORKS

Did you know you can grow your donation by 44.9% simply by signing a form? Once you have donated €250 or more to Trócaire over the past four years (2020 to 2023), your donations are tax eligible.

It only takes a couple of minutes to complete the form. Only you can set these tax funds free – without your signature the unclaimed money will never get the chance to help.

All eligible donors who have not returned a completed form or renewed their expired form will be included in our Tax mailings during the year.

Once signed, the enduring tax relief form lasts for 5 years. This means that you only need to fill out the form once every 5 years, which reduces our admin costs, allowing for greater impact in the work we do with communities in the developing world.

If you signed an enduring form dated 2018 or earlier, it is no longer valid and needs to be renewed.

Have you Donated under €250 so far this year?

Donating over €250 allows Trócaire to claim back valuable tax relief on your generous donations, which means you can empower even more people, to create lasting change in their communities.

Grow your donation by 44.9% today, DONATE NOW or call our Donations Team on 01 629 3333.

GIFT AID IN NORTHERN IRELAND

If you are a UK taxpayer you can make your donations to Trócaire go even further – at no extra cost to you – by simply completing a Gift Aid declaration.

Gift Aid is a UK government scheme that allows Trócaire to claim 25p for each £1 donated by individuals who are both UK tax payers and who have completed a Gift Aid Declaration for Trócaire.

HOW TO COMPLETE A GIFT AID DECLARATION

  1. You can complete a declaration whilst making an online donation by checking the Gift  Aid box
  2. Alternatively you can FREEPHONE 0800 912 1200 or email [email protected] and a member of our Donor Services Team will be delighted to help you
  3. Or if you prefer you can download a Gift Aid Form and return it in the post or even  drop in to see us at 50 King Street, Belfast, BT1 6AD

Once you have completed a Gift Aid Declaration, Trócaire will be able to claim 25p for every £1 you have donated in the past 4 years and any future donations until you notify us otherwise.

There is no minimum amount you need to donate – the only requirement is that you are a UK taxpayer.

As a taxpayer, you must pay an amount of income and/or capital gains tax at least equal to the tax that Trócaire – and any other charity or Community Amateur Sports Club (CASC) you have donated to – reclaims on your donations in that tax year (currently 25p for each £1).

You must pay Income Tax or Capital Gains Tax, other taxes do not apply. If you pay less Income Tax and/or Capital Gains Tax than the amount of Gift Aid claimed on all your donations in that tax year you will be responsible for the difference.

HIGHER RATE TAXPAYERS IN NORTHERN IRELAND

Those who pay UK tax at the higher rate can benefit from tax relief by claiming back the difference between the higher rate of tax at 40% and standard rate of tax at 20%. For example, where you donate £100 to charities and CASCs – Gift Aid is claimed to make your donation £125.

If you pay 40% tax you can personally claim back £25.00 (£125 x 20%) through your Self Assessment tax return or by contacting HM Revenue and Customs (HMRC) for further information.
