Donate by tax return

How it works

If you are completing a self assessment tax return, you can nominate a charity to receive any tax refund you are due.

The Government will treat this refund as a Gift Aid donation. This means that Age NI will get 25p more for every pound donated – at no extra cost to you.

For example:

• if you are owed £10,
• the taxman will add £2.50,
• giving a total donation of £12.50.

Please note that this scheme is open to UK taxpayers only.

What you need to do

To ensure Age NI receives your tax refund, when you have completed your tax return you also need to complete  form SA100 – Giving your tax repayment to charity.  Age NI then receives your donation directly into its bank account.
