Gift Aid
Can you Gift Aid your donation to us? Are you a UK tax payer?
Gift Aid increases the value of your furniture donations to Storeroom by allowing Storeroom to reclaim basic rate tax on your gift. We can claim back the tax on your donation (25p for every £1 you donate) through Gift Aid. This additional income really does make a big difference, so please don’t forget to Gift Aid your furniture donations
A charity can claim Gift Aid when you make a monetary donation from your own funds and have paid UK Income and / or Capital Gains Tax during that tax year.
The amount of tax you pay needs to be at least equal to the value of Gift Aid the charity or CASC will claim on your donation(s).
If circumstances change and you no longer pay enough tax, it’s important to tell all the charities you support
