Gift Aid

Add 25% more to your donation at no cost to you. A Gift Aid declaration allows "Lincoln Cathedral" to claim tax back on eligible donations. It means that for every £1 you donate to "Lincoln Cathedral" we can claim back 25p, at no extra cost to you.

I would like "Lincoln Cathedral" to reclaim the tax on all qualifying donations I have made today, as well as in the past four years and any future donations, until I notify them otherwise. I understand that if I pay less Income Tax and/or Capital Gains Tax than the amount of Gift Aid claimed on all my donations in that tax year I may be asked to pay any difference. I understand that "Lincoln Cathedral" will reclaim 25p of tax on every £1 that I give.

"Lincoln Cathedral" is comprised of the following charitable entities to which this declaration applies:
The Cathedral Church of The Blessed Virgin Mary of Lincoln, Charity Number: 1207411
(within which is included the 'Lincoln Cathedral Fabric Fund' and the 'Lincoln Cathedral Library Fund');
Lincoln Cathedral Music Fund, Charity Number 1033089;
Lincoln Cathedral Learning, Arts, Culture and Events CIO, Charity Number 1175597

I confirm that I would like "Lincoln Cathedral" to reclaim the tax on all qualifying donations I have made today, as well as in the past four years and any future donations, until I notify them otherwise. I understand that if I pay less Income Tax and/or Capital Gains Tax than the amount of Gift Aid claimed on all my donations in that tax year I may be asked to pay any difference. I understand that "Lincoln Cathedral" will reclaim 25p of tax on every £1 that I give.

What is Gift Aid?

Gift Aid does not cost you a penny more, but can add an additional 25p to every £1 you donate. When Lincoln Cathedral receives a donation from a UK taxpayer, we're entitled to claim an amount of tax (calculated at the basic rate of income tax in that year) paid on that donation. Once you have given your permission for us to do this on your behalf, there is no need for you to do anything else.

All that is required is that you must be a taxpayer and that would have paid or will pay sufficient Income and/or Capital Gains Tax to cover all the Gift Aid claimed on all your donations in that tax year. Please note that it is your responsibility to pay any difference.

The amount of tax we claim will be 25% of the total value of your donations in that tax year. Furthermore, if you are a higher taxpayer, you are also entitled to claim the difference between the basic rate which we will claim and the amount of tax you have actually paid. For further details on how you can do this, please contact your tax office. If your tax situation changes and your gifts will no longer be eligible for the Gift Aid scheme please contact us and we will amend your record accordingly.
