Charity Gift Aid Declaration

Boost your donation by 25p of Gift Aid for every £1 you donate. This means for every £1 you donate, MAYK will receive £1.25. These extra funds will help us make more extraordinary experiences for audiences everywhere.

In order to qualify for Gift Aid you must tick the box below:

Gift aid is reclaimed by the charity from the tax you pay for the current tax year. Your address is needed to identify you as a current UK taxpayer.

Gift Aid Explained

Am I eligible for Gift Aid?

To be eligible for Gift Aid you need to have paid or will pay the same amount of Income Tax or Capital Gains Tax as charities will claim back on your Gift Aided donations in each tax year. Other taxes such as Council Tax and VAT do not count for this purpose.

I don’t pay income tax – can I be eligible for Gift Aid?

Even if you think you are not a UK taxpayer, you are still eligible for Gift Aid if you pay tax in the following ways:

  • Through a taxable investment or rental income

  • Savings, a state pension or other pension plans

  • Capital Gains Tax.

If you do, you are a taxpayer. So, simply tick the YES box on the form above and click submit, and we can claim an extra 25% on your donations.

Is it really that simple?

Yes – just tick the box on the form, checking that we have your correct initial, last name, and home address, click submit and we will do the rest for you. Once we have the form we can even claim Gift Aid on any donations you make to MAYK in the future.

Does it matter how often or how much I give?

You don’t have to give regularly or have donated a certain amount for us to claim Gift Aid on your donations. We can claim Gift Aid on however many contributions you have made in the past four years.

I have already completed a Gift Aid declaration for another charity. Do I need to complete another one?

You have to give a declaration for each charity you want Gift Aid to apply. However, you only need to fill in one form for us and we can claim Gift Aid on however much you have previously donated in the last four years and any future donations.
