Can I declare Gift Aid on my donation?

If you pay tax in the UK (income tax or capital gains), a Gift Aid declaration enables the University of Exeter to claim back from HM Revenue and Customs (HMRC) 25p for each £1 you give to us. If you are a higher rate tax payer, you can claim further tax relief in your Self-Assessment return.

Notes:

  • The University of Exeter is an exempt charity, Reference X9538
  • If in the future your circumstances change and you no longer pay tax on your income and capital gains equal to the tax that the charity reclaims, you can cancel your declaration.
  • If you pay tax at the higher rate you can claim further tax relief in your Self-Assessment tax return.
  • Please notify us if you wish to cancel your Gift Aid declaration, change your name or home address, or no longer pay sufficient tax on your Income and/or Capital Gains.
