The Gold Standard Charitable Trust is a registered charity (1130999) and if you are a UK taxpayer, we can claim a tax benefit (25p for every £1 you give) if you supply us with a valid Gift Aid declaration. Simply click the button below and complete the form to increase the value of your gift (now or in the future) at no extra cost to you.

Tax Advantaged Giving

The tax laws of the UK allow you to increase your giving impact substantially if you apply for Gift Aid; if you are a higher rate tax payer in the UK, you may reclaim the difference between the basic and higher rate of tax on your gift value when you complete your tax return. Families in the 45% tax bracket who claim gift aid have an impact 82% greater than the net cost of their gift. For the 40% tax bracket the impact is an additional 67% and in the 20% bracket it is still 25% extra for the students. The table below shows how that works:

Tax rate        Gift amount   Post tax gift cost   Gift Aid     Net to School    % Increase

45% tax rate      £10,000         £6875               £2500           £12,500          +82%

40% tax rate      £1,000           £750                £250            £1,250           +67%

20% tax rate      £100             £100                £25              £125             +25%

You can help us bring in wonderful and interesting students with your gift to the GSCT.
