Name of charity DACORUM MENCAP (Charity Number 212549)
Please treat all gifts of money that I have made in the past 6 years and all future gifts of money that I make from the date of this declaration as Gift Aid donations.
You must pay an amount of Income Tax and/or Capital Gains Tax for each tax year (6 April one year to 5 April the next) that is at least equal to the amount of tax that the charity or Community Amateur Sports Club will reclaim on your gifts for that tax year. I understand that other taxes such as VAT and Council Tax do not qualify.
Your details
Please notify us if you:
1. Want to cancel this declaration.
2. Change your name or home address.
3. No longer pay sufficient tax on your income and/or capital gains.
What we can claim:
- We can reclaim 28p of tax on every £1 you gave up to 5 April 2008.
- We can reclaim 25p of tax on every £1 you give on or after 6 April 2008.
- The Government will pay us an additional 3p on every £1 you give between 6 April 2008 and 5 April 2011. This transitional relief for us does not affect your personal tax position.

If you pay income tax at the higher rate, you must include all your Gift Aid donations on your Self-Assessment tax return if you want to receive the additional tax relief due to you.
