Are you a UK taxpayer? Every £1 you give could be worth £1.25 to us at no extra cost to you
Through the Gift Aid scheme, we can reclaim the tax on your donations and eligible membership subscriptions. For every pound that you give, we can claim an extra 25p from HMRC.
We will also be able to reclaim the tax on any donations you have made in the last four years and any future donations you make. And it doesn’t cost you another penny.

Gift Aid questions and answers
Do I qualify for Gift Aid?
As long as you pay enough UK income tax and/or capital gains tax to cover the amount of tax we will reclaim in the tax year.
Do I have to declare this information on a tax return?
Not if you are a standard-rate taxpayer and do not receive a tax return from the Inland Revenue. However, if you do receive a tax return, you must declare the information.
Do I have to fill in a Gift Aid declaration every year?
No, it’s valid for all donations that you give until you cancel it, although we do need to know if you change your name or address or cease to pay UK tax.
Are there any exceptions?
For RHS members who have registered their membership for Gift Aid and take advantage of a discount on public RHS Show days, the RHS is unable to claim Gift Aid in respect of your membership fee. If you are a higher-rate taxpayer, you will not be able to claim any tax relief for the same membership in the tax year of the RHS Show, as the discount plus other member benefits are above the level allowed by HMRC.
