More notes on Gift Aid
1. Please notify CEL if you change your name or address while the declaration is still in force. You can cancel the declaration at any time by notifying the charity – it will then not apply to payments you make after that date of cancellation or such later date as you specify.
2. If you pay tax at the higher rate, you can claim further relief in your self-assessment tax return.
3. You can obtain an Inland Revenue leaflet on Gift Aid from your local tax office (IR 113 Gift Aid)
