Gift Aid Scheme
SCARS intends to take advantage of the new Gift Aid Scheme which was announced by the Government in the
March 2000 budget. Until now the “Covenant” system whereby Charities could reclaim the tax paid on Subscriptions
and Donations was quite complicated. The “Gift Aid” system is far easier to administer, and allows us to reclaim 28p
for each £1 which taxpayers give us. Most taxpayers will qualify so long as the amount they pay in Income Tax and /
or Capital Gains Tax is at least equal to the amount of tax SCARS reclaims on the donation.
A declaration form is enclosed with your membership renewal and returning this will allow us to reclaim tax on all your
donations from 6 April 2000. No renewals are necessary and the declaration can be cancelled at any time simply by notifying SCARS.
