Charitable giving through the tax return

People who complete a Self Assessment tax return can nominate a charity to receive all or part of any tax repayment due to them. The scheme is very simple:

· The donation will be paid directly to the charity’s bank account.

· The form will incorporate a Gift Aid declaration.

· Gift Aid will be paid without the charity’s having to make a claim.

· Charities will benefit from Gift Aid on anonymous donations.

· NOTE if you have been supplied with a Shorter Tax Return you will have to ask the Inland Revenue for a full form in order to participate in this scheme.

Your membership of and/or interest in the Music Society indicates that this opportunity to help the Society to provide even better recitals, while keeping ticket prices within reach of all, will probably appeal to you (especially as the windfall nature of a tax refund will probably not disturb your personal finances!). May we therefore appeal to you to make use of this facility: for this purpose the code number for the Society is: -

Our Treasurer, whose telephone number is listed at the back of this brochure, will be happy to try to answer any questions you may have.
