One-off/Regular Cash Donations
Under Gift Aid charities can recover the 22% basic rate tax that you have already paid on the gift. Higher rate taxpayers can personally reclaim the difference between the higher and basic rates of tax (currently 40%-22%=18%). Please note that from April 2008, basic rate tax will go down to 20%.
