Help Us To Make More From Your Donation - Sign A Gift Aid Declaration

GIFT AID - Help us to get more for your money!

Recent changes in the law surrounding giving to charities mean that it is now possible for Royal Blind to claim the tax back from the Inland Revenue on every donation that you give us. This Gift Aid system replaced the Covenant system and came into effect from 6th April 2000.

With Gift Aid every £10 you give will be worth £12.80 to us - it's all very simple and there's no minimum donation limit.

All we need to know is that you pay UK income or capital gains tax and that you are willing to allow us to claim the tax back on your donations. Send us back the declaration, we do the rest, and you only need to do it once for it to cover every donation that you give us. Just inform us if you stop paying UK income or capital gains tax and we'll cancel it immediately. It really is that simple.

This is a fantastic initiative. It means EVERY time you donate to Royal Blind we can claim back an extra 28p for every £1 you give us - at no extra cost to you!

Remember that even if you are retired, you will almost certainly be paying sufficient UK income tax if you have a private pension or any investments. Call us on 0131 229 1456 if you're not sure and we can advise you, or ask your Bank or Financial Advisor.

So please help us to take advantage of this great offer from the Inland Revenue by inserting your details in the declaration on page 10, after you have read the declaration notes, and posting or e-mailing it to us.

This is your chance to help us get as much money back from the Taxman as we can!
