Tax-Efficient Giving (UK Taxpayers)
Gift Aid
Emmanuel is a Registered Charity (number 1137456). This means that through the Gift Aid scheme, you are able to give tax-efficiently to Emma and boost the value of your donation. If you are a UK taxpayer, Emma can reclaim the basic rate tax at no extra cost to you as the donor, boosting the value of every £1 you donate by 25p.
If you are a higher (40%) or additional (45%) taxpayer, you can reclaim the difference between basic rate and higher/additional rate of tax by declaring your donation on your Self-Assessment tax return.
More information about Gift Aid is available.
Please record your Gift Aid Declaration using this online form.
A Gift Aid declaration (PDF) is also available.
Tax-Efficient Giving from a Company
Donations to the College offer tax benefits to companies when computing Corporation Tax liability. No forms are now necessary for companies to make tax-efficient donations to the College; the Development Office can advise.
Payroll Giving (GAYE)
It is possible to support Emmanuel through Payroll giving. Please see http://www.payrollgiving.co.uk/ for more information.

These are exempt from Capital Gains and Inheritance Tax.
Shares
Donations of shares can entitle the donor to tax relief on Income Tax, Stamp Duty, Capital Gains Tax, Inheritance Tax and Corporation Tax. More information on giving shares.

Spotlights
Heather – Sunday in the Park with George
I was fortunate enough to join the 2017 company of the National Youth Music Theatre (NYMT) to take part in a production of Sondheim & Lapine’s Sunday in the Park with George, directed by Hannah Chissick, which ran for six performances at The Other Palace in London’s West End and received five-star reviews.
Bathrooms in Old Court
Old Court was built in 1634 and gives the impression of having changed very little since. Ron Gray’s guide to College buildings describes it as a simple building and as ‘one of the most pleasing in College’.
Liesbeth van Houts – Norman manuscripts in Emmanuel
Emmanuel's group of late eleventh- and early twelfth-century books, either imported from Normandy or copied in England by Norman scribes, bear testimony to the fresh literary impulses brought to England after the Norman Conquest in 1066.
