If you are a UK taxpayer, please download, print and complete a Gift Aid declaration form. Gift Aiding a donation makes it worth 25 per cent more to Children of Peace, at no extra cost to you, as we claim tax relief on a donation from HM Revenue and Customs.

DONATE IN MEMORY AND TRIBUTE FUNDS
A donation to Children of Peace is a very special way to remember the life of a relative or friend. Since 2012 the UK government has introduced a new incentive for charitable legacies (effective from 6th April). Under this new scheme, inheritance tax will be reduced from 40% to 36% on estates in which 10% or more has been left to charity. The relief is designed so that the benefit of the tax saving is reflected in the bequests received by charities.
Children of Peace is always delighted to receive legacies – leaving a lasting impact on future generations and towards an area you care about. Children of Peace would be delighted to discuss a tribute fund or a legacy with you at any time and remember, a generous gift might save a child’s life at an oncology clinic, or build a facility named after the benefactor that could transform the future of a whole community.

What are the main tax benefits of donating shares to Children of Peace
A gift of shares is free from capital gains tax. And since April 2000 you can claim income tax relief, at your highest rate, for the full market value of the shares you donate, on the date of transfer to Children of Peace.
This means that you will not pay tax on the equivalent amount of your income in the year that you make the gift.
You can also claim the tax relief on your self assessment tax return. To qualify for the tax relief, the shares or securities must be…
Listed or dealt on a recognised UK or foreign stock exchange.
Units in authorised unit trusts.
- Shares in a UK open-ended investment company, or
- Holdings in certain foreign collective investment schemes.
