I was pleased to have the chat with Robert
and was impressed by his professional approach

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.
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.

Spotlights
Rob – Music Publishing in Auckland
During the summer months of last year, I travelled to New Zealand in order to take up a work experience placement I had organised with the generous help of Auckland University’s Department of Music. I worked in the Department’s publishing branch, INTRADA, which specialises in discovering and editing sidelined music from the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries before publishing it for its first performances in centuries.
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’.
Nigel Peake – Sound and Silence: Understanding Aircraft Noise
If I had to summarise my research in a single sentence then I would say that I’m interested in waves of all kinds: how they are generated, how they propagate and how they interact with other objects.
