GIFT AID

As of April 2000 the minimum amount of £250.00 has been abolished. Any gift large or small, regular or one-off can now qualify for Gift Aid. 
Individual donors can make a declaration that their donations are Gift Aid donations via the Internet as well as in writing. As the TAA has registered charitable status we intend to take advantage of this change in the tax system to increase our income without increasing subscription. 
In order to reclaim the tax the TAA must be able to prove that the giver was a United Kingdom taxpayer. This means that each member who  qualifies must complete the  'GIFT AID DECLARATION' form printed in the Newsletter and either send it to the Treasurer by e-mail or by post as soon as possible to: treasurer@taa.org.uk 
*Details; Charity Commission News, Spring 2000

Gift Aid Declaration

Name of Charity:     The Tropical Agriculture Association (United  Kingdom)
Details of Donor:
Title……….Forename(s)……………………………………
Surname…………………………………………………….
Address………………………………………………………
………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………
Postcode………………………
I want the charity to treat all donations I have made since 6th April 2002, and all donations I make from the date of this declaration until
 I notify you otherwise, as Gift Aid Donations.
Signature…………………………………………………

Date………………………………………………………

1. Please notify the charity if you change your name or address while the declaration is still in force. You can then cancel the declaration  at any time by notifying  the charity- it will then not apply to donations you make on or after the date of cancellation or such later date as  you specify.
2. You must pay an amount of income tax and/or capital gains tax at least equal to the tax that the charity reclaims on your donations in the tax year.
3. If, in the future your circumstances change and you no longer pay tax on your income and capital gains equal to the tax that the charity reclaims, you  can cancel your declaration.
4. If you pay tax at the higher rate, you can claim further tax relief in your Self Assessment Tax Return.

Enquiries and completed applications should be addressed to:

Tropical Agriculture Association (UK), Membership Secretary, 3 Sandy Mead, Bournemouth, Dorset, BH8 9JY
 Phone 01202 397085
