Gift Aid Information
7th Nov 2013
If you are a UK tax payer the Association as a Registered
Charity is able to reclaim 25p for every £1 you pay in your subscription. This
is because your subscription is considered as a donation. It costs you nothing, but is extremely
important for the ABTT as it provides valuable extra funds with which to carry
out its work on behalf of the Theatre industry.
By being able to reclaim Gift Aid the Association is able to keep the subscriptions
as low as possible.
We are required to follow the statutory requirements for
Gift Aid declarations which have recently changed. It is really important that you confirm or
reconfirm Gift Aid with your membership renewal form in order to ensure that
the Association can gain the greatest benefit from your donation. By making a Gift
Aid declaration you are increasing the value of your support for the ABTT at no
extra cost.
You can gift aid your donation if you pay enough UK
income tax or capital gains tax to cover the amount the Association is able to
reclaim on your donation. By gift aiding your donation you are confirming that
you pay enough tax for all gift aided donations you make.
To comply with government
legislation we must ask you to confirm whether you want to allow Gift Aid to be
claimed on your donation today and/or on donations in the past four years and/or
on donations in the future. For your
ease we have provided tick boxes for you to indicate your wishes.
·
If you tick "Today" we will only claim Gift Aid
on the current donation and not any future donations.
·
If you are new to Gift Aid and tick "in the past
four years" box the ABTT are able to go back four years to reclaim tax on past
donations. If we make a claim in 2014 we
are able to go back to the beginning of 2010.
·
If you tick the "in the future" box the ABTT
will be able to continue claiming Gift Aid on your donation every year until
you tell us otherwise.
Please tick all boxes you wish to apply.
By ticking a box you are also confirming that you have
paid or will pay enough tax in any year for which Gift Aid is reclaimed so as
to equal or exceed the amount of Gift Aid reclaimed.
Please take time to consider which box or boxes would be
most appropriate for you to tick or
confirm on line. Gift Aid is such a valuable source of income for the
Association we do hope you will be able to confirm your willingness for it to
be reclaimed. It makes a huge difference
to the Association's income and therefore the work we are able to do.
Gift Aid is applicable to individual members but not to
affiliated organisations.
