What is Gift Aid?

Gift Aid is a scheme run by the HM Revenue and Customs (HMRC) that allows charities like Action Cancer to reclaim the tax on your donations at no extra cost to you.

This means all donations will be worth 25% more: if your donation sells for £10 we will actually receive £12.50.

Who can become a Gift Aider?

You must be a current UK taxpayer, but this is not limited on tax earnings.

You also qualify if you pay tax on pension, savings, property sales or rental income.

You only need to have paid as much in tax as Action Cancer will reclaim on your donations.
