ELC Gift Aid Declaration

If you are a UK tax payer, signing below a Gift Aid declaration allows us to reclaim the tax already paid on your donation.  This will increase the value of your gift by almost a third at no extra cost to you, meaning that for every £1 you donate we can reclaim a further 28p from the taxman.

Would like the Environmental Law Centre Ltd (ELC) (Registered charity No. 1070108 Company Limited by Guarantee No. 35173040) to treat:

The above bankers order £………………………Monthly/Quarterly/Annually (delete as appropriate).

All donations I have made since 6 April 2000 and all donations I make from the date of this declaration until I notify you otherwise as Gift Aid Donations.

I confirm that I am a UK taxpayer and the amount of tax I pay does exceed the amount I would like ELC to claim.

Signed and delivered by me……………………………………Date……………………...

Notes:
1	If your declaration covers donations you may make in future:
Please notify us if you change your name and address while the declaration is still in force.
You can cancel the declaration at any time by notifying us – it will then not apply to donations you make on or after the date of cancellation or such later date as you specify;
2 	You must pay an amount of income tax and/or capital gains tax at least equal to the tax that the charity reclaims on you donations in the tax year (currently 28p for each £1 you give).
3	 If in the future your circumstances change and you no longer pay your income and capital gains equal to the tax that we reclaim, you can cancel your declaration (see note 1).
4	If you pay tax at the higher rate you can claim further tax relief in your Self Assessment Tax Return.
5	 If you are unsure whether your donation qualifies for Gift Aid tax relief, ask the charity. Or you can ask your local tax office for leaflet IR65 Tax Efficient Giving to a Charity.
