DONATIONS AND LEGACIES
The Club is recognised as a charity by HM Revenue & Customs, and so both it and
donors can benefit from a number of tax reliefs. Subscriptions and other donations
by income tax payers under Gift Aid allow us to claim back income tax paid by the
donor. In addition, such donations by higher-rate income taxpayers allow the donor
themselves to claim back higher rate income tax relief on their tax return.
Leaving a legacy to the Club in your will allows us to do things which would
otherwise be beyond our means. It is also tax-efficient and can reduce the liability
of the donor’s estate to inheritance tax. Previous gifts have helped us in many ways
over the years.
The Treasurer Richard GREEN is always available to discuss possible donations, gifts
and legacies with donors or their representatives in advance. He can provide
relevant wording and more information to ensure that they are put to the very best
use. Such discussions can of course be in confidence if requested.
