Do you know how to claim gift aid on charity donations in Guernsey over £500 with the upper limit recently increased in 2021

In September 2009 the States of Guernsey agreed to change the way in which tax relief was given in respect of donations to Guernsey Registered Charities (GRC).

Previously income tax relief was only available to individuals who made payments under an irrevocable Deed of Covenant in favour of a Guernsey Registered Charity for a period in excess of 3 years; no relief was available to Guernsey resident individuals in respect of noncovenanted donations to Guernsey charities.

In summary, the system up to 2020 works as follows:

It is amazing the ways supporters of the GSPCA raise funds to help the 1000’s of animals that come through our care  every year.

Just before lockdown we had an amazing donation from Carla Munday who had been selling goods through facebook to help raise the much needed funds to help run the GSPCA.

We asked Carla to tell us all about it and here is what she said -

Submitted by Steve on 16:21, 7th May, 2020 | 0

The GSPCA would like to say a huge thank you to both Waitrose stores in Guernsey for their amazing support and to help with our #GSPCACoronavirusCrisisAppeal .

Shortly after releasing the desperate need for support at the end of March the team got in touch to see how they could help.

A few days later we received not only a fantastic rage of fresh fruit and veg for the animals, but we also had a box of goodies to keep the team going at the GSPCA.

Since then each week we have had donations from both stores which has helped feed the many animals in our care.
