Making your gift go further

For UK taxpayers, Oriel College can reclaim basic rate tax on all gfts, provided that you have paid an amount of UK Income Tax and/or Capital Gains Tax equal to the tax we reclaim. This means that every £100 donated is worth £125, and the difference is paid by HM Revenue & Customs at no cost to you. All you have to to do is tick the Gift Aid box when giving online or sign the declaration on your giving form. If you pay tax at the higher rate, you can calim further tax relief on your self-assessment tax return.

Matched Giving

Many companies operate Matching Gift Schemes. This means that they are prepared to 'match', in full or part, any gifts given by their employees to registered charities. Please check with your Personnel or Human Resources department to see if your company has such a scheme.
