Gift Aid explained
What is Gift Aid?
Gift Aid is a scheme available to charities and Community Amateur Sports Clubs (CASCs). It means they can claim extra money from HMRC.
Scarborough and Ryedale Mountain Rescue Team can claim an extra 25p for every £1 you donate. That’s as long as you’ve paid the basic rate of tax and make the donation from your own funds. That means Gift Aid can increase the value of your donations by 25%, so you can give even more to help save lives in North Yorkshire.
Are my donations eligible for Gift Aid?
Scarborough and Ryedale Mountain Rescue Team can claim Gift Aid when you make a monetary donation from your own funds and have paid UK Income and / or Capital Gains Tax during that tax year.
The amount of tax you pay needs to be at least equal to the value of Gift Aid that we claim on your donation(s).
