College, and reflect on a time when I was in her shoes

Tax-efficient giving (UK tax-payers)
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.

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.
