Some companies operate a matched giving scheme which can really increase your gift. Details will be available from your Human Resources Department which you can then pass on to the Development Office.
Gifts of shares would be very welcome. Both individuals and companies can claim Income tax relief and can also obtain relief from Inheritance Tax and Capital Gains Tax.
Any amount can now be given using the payroll giving scheme, whereby you authorise your employer to deduct payments from your salary before calculating PAYE tax. The Government presently pays a 10% supplement on top of all pay roll giving donations.
Any gift can be made in memory of a loved one and their name recognised in our Supporters List.
The Gift Aid Scheme enables the School, via the Foundation, to claim tax relief on all donations made by U.K. taxpayers, increasing their value by 25% for basic rate taxpayers.
UK taxpayers can complete the Gift Aid declaration on the donation form which enables the school to reclaim tax on the value of any gift at no cost to the donor. For individuals, we will reclaim the tax, ensuring that its valueto us increases by 25%. If you pay tax at the high rate, you can reclaim the difference between the amount and the basic rate on your own tax return.

Under the Gift Aid scheme higher rate taxpayers benefit from a 40% tax deduction. They can reclaim the difference between the basic rate and the higher rate on their Self Assessment form, enabling them to give more.
Planned giving over a fixed period may be the most convenient way for a higher rate taxpayer to give a substantial sum. It is possible for a donation to be made in instalments, provided the donor remains in the 40% tax bracket.
Illustrations showing the net cost to the donor of different scenarios are available from the Development Office.
Please simply pay the gift in full and claim tax relief for this amount on your Corporation Tax Return Form.
