The charity you donate to can reclaim the basic rate of tax from donations made by taxpayers.<\/p>\n<p>For example:<\/p>\n<p>If you donated &pound;5,000 to charity, the total value of the donation to the charity is &pound;6,250. You can claim additional tax back of:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>&pound;1,250 if you pay tax at the higher rate of 40% (&pound;6,250 &times; 20%),<\/li>\n<li>&pound;1,562.50 if you pay tax at the additional rate of 45% (&pound;6,250 &times; 20%) plus (&pound;6,250 &times; 5%).<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>If you are a higher rate or additional rate taxpayer you have the option to carry back your charitable donations to the previous tax year. A request to carry back the donation must be made before or at the same time as your previous year&rsquo;s Self-Assessment return is completed.<\/p>\n<p>This means that if you made a gift to charity in the current 2021-22 tax year that ends on 5 April 2022, you&nbsp;can accelerate repayment of any tax associated with your charitable giving. This can be a useful strategy to maximise tax relief if you will not pay higher rate tax in the current tax year but did in the previous tax year.<\/p>\n<p>You can only claim if your donations qualify for gift aid. This means that your donations from both tax years together must not be more than 4 times what you paid in tax in the previous year. If you do not complete a tax return you need to use a P810 form to make a claim.<\/p>\n<div style='font-size:smaller' class='im_source'>Source: HM Revenue &#038; Customs   Tue, 31 Aug 2021 00:00:00 +0100<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>If you are a higher rate or additional rate<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":4724,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[134,1],"tags":[],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v22.5 -
