Gift Aid is a UK Government scheme that allows charities like Shree U.K. Luhar Gnati Mandal to claim an extra 25% on eligible donations made by people who pay UK tax. This means your donation goes further without costing you anything more.

Gift Aid increases the value of your donation, helping us support cultural events, youth programmes, community welfare, and charitable activities. It strengthens our ability to serve the community with dignity and purpose.

Anyone who:

• Pays UK Income Tax or Capital Gains Tax

• Has paid at least as much tax as the Mandal will reclaim

• Completes a Gift Aid declaration

If you’re unsure, our Committee can guide you.

No. Gift Aid does not increase your donation. It simply allows the Mandal to reclaim tax you have already paid.

You can complete a declaration through:

• A printed form 

• An online form

• A verbal declaration (where permitted)

You will be asked for:

• Your full name

• Your home address

• Confirmation that you are a UK taxpayer

This information is required by HMRC to validate the claim.

Most declarations remain valid until you tell us otherwise. However, you must inform the Mandal if:

• You stop paying enough tax

• Your name or address changes

• You wish to cancel your declaration

No. Gift Aid can only be claimed on donations made from your own money, in your own name.

No. Gift Aid applies only to personal donations made by individual taxpayers, not companies or organisations.

All reclaimed funds are used responsibly to support the Mandal’s charitable objectives, including community events, welfare support, cultural preservation, and youth engagement.

Yes. Shree U.K. Luhar Gnati Mandal handles all Gift Aid information with strict confidentiality and in full compliance with HMRC and data protection requirements.
