Further Information
HMRC also recommends that certain information is provided when asking for a Gift Aid declaration. However, space is always limited so please use your discretion as to what to include.
- You must pay an amount of Income Tax and/or Capital Gains Tax at least equal to the tax that Oasis UK reclaims on your donations in the appropriate tax year (currently 28p for each £1 you give).
- You can cancel this declaration at any time by notifying the Oasis UK.
- If in the future your circumstances change and you no longer pay tax on your income and/or capital gains equal to the tax that Oasis UK 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.
- If you are unsure whether your donations qualify for Gift Aid tax relief ask Oasis UK or visit the HMRC website using the link below.
- Please notify Oasis UK if you change your name or address.
