Gift Aid
Gift Aid allows UK charities, such as the British Texel Sheep Society to claim back the basic rate tax of 25%, from HMRC, that has already been paid on donations by members.

Please read the declaration and if you agree and are eligible, complete the section at the bottom of the page.
I understand that by ticking the box that my subscription payments from the date of this declaration and any donations I make in the future until I notify you otherwise will be treated as my Gift Aid donation. I am a UK taxpayer and understand that if I pay less Income Tax and/or Capital Gains Tax than the amount of Gift Aid claimed (25p in every £1) on all my donations in that tax year it is my responsibility to pay any difference.
Subscriptions paid from business or farm accounts are not eligible, as Gift Aid can only be claimed on subscriptions paid by partnerships and private individuals (matching or including the name on the Society membership records or for a member under age of 18). If you pay Income Tax at the higher or additional rate and want to receive the additional tax relief due to you, you must include all your Gift Aid donations on your Self-Assessment tax return or ask HM Revenue and Customs to adjust your tax code.
