GENEROSITY...
|
Generosity transforms both the giver and the world around them. At Hope Church Sittingbourne, we’re passionate about living generously as a whole community, recognising that our mission to impact Sittingbourne and the regions beyond relies on it.
We believe that everything we have is entrusted to us by God, and we’re called to steward these resources wisely and to His glory. That’s why we encourage regular, generous giving in proportion to our income. Many at Hope Church choose to give through regular Standing Order, providing the stability needed for wise financial planning. Tithing—giving 10% of income—is a step of faith that many have committed to. If you’re a UK taxpayer, please consider completing our online Gift Aid form. With Gift Aid, for every £1 given, we can claim an extra 25p from HMRC at no extra cost to you, making your giving go further. |

GIFT AID IT - TAX EFFICIENT GIVING
Gift Aid is a government initiative which means that if you are a UK tax payer, for every £1 you give, we can claim an extra 25p from the HMRC at no extra cost to you - This makes your gift go much further! In order for us to claim, please complete our online Gift Aid declaration below. Please remember to inform us if any of your details change, or if you cease to be a UK tax payer. Am I eligible to sign up for Gift Aid? In each year you need to have paid tax equal to the amount we will reclaim - currently 25p for every £1 you donate. Both Income Tax and Capital Gains Tax qualify. And it doesn't matter what rate of tax you pay, just the overall amount of tax that you have paid. For example: If you gave us £100, we would claim back £25, so you need to have paid just £25 tax in that year. I have already agreed to Gift Aid for another Charity, do I have to sign up again? Yes, you need to give separate permission for Gift Aid to each charity you support. Can I Gift Aid if I am a pensioner? As a pensioner you may still pay tax on a private pension plan or savings account, or you may pay capital gains tax if you sell property or shares. As long as you have paid enough tax during the year to cover your donations, you can Gift Aid them. If you have any queries or require further information, please email [email protected] Please notify the charity if you:
If you pay Income Tax at the higher rate or an additional rate and you want to receive the additional tax relief due to you, you must include all your Gift Aid donations on your Self Assessment tax return or ask HM Revenue and Customs to adjust your tax code.
