Gift Aid

Donating through Gift Aid means charities can claim an extra 25p for every £1 you give.

I would like the British-German Association to reclaim the tax on any eligible membership subscriptions or donations that I make, or will make, until further notice. The BGA should treat all donations I have made to it in the past four years, and all donations I make from the dates of this declaration as Gift Aid donations, until I notify otherwise. I confirm that I am a UK taxpayer and that the Income Tax and/or Capital Gains Tax that I pay exceed the amount of Gift Aid claimed on all my donations in the tax year. I will advise the Association if and when this should not be the case.
