Donations of Shares

If you donate shares to charity their market value is deducted from your taxable income and you have no capital gains tax to pay.

Legacy

Please kindly remember this Trust when making or altering your Will. As a general rule assets bequeathed (or gifted) to charities are exempted from capital gains tax and inheritance tax.

Other ways to support us

If you are accustomed to giving substantial sums to several charities you are probably aware of other tax-efficient methods such as giving through the Charities Aid Foundation, King’s Hill, West Mailing, Kent ME19 4TA, or setting up a private charitable trust.
