How much cashback will our Charity Receive?
When Members make a donation through Cashback Rewards, all of that donation will be paid into the Charities account at Cashback Rewards.
In addition, Csshback Rewards Ltd will give an additional 10% of the members donation to their chosen charity.
If a member completes the Gift Aid form (see Gift Aid), the charity may claim the tax back, thereby increasing the value of the donation.
What is Gift Aid?
(Taken from HMRC Website)
Gift aid is tax relief on money donated to UK charities.
HMRC treat donations as if the donor had already deducted basic rate tax from them. The charity can then reclaim this tax to increase the value of a donation.
HMRC’s Gift aid rules:
Donors must -
§ pay enough UK income tax and/or capital gains tax themselves to cover the amount of tax the charity will reclaim
§ give the charity a gift aid declaration, which should include
- their name
- their home address
- the charity’s name
- details of the donation – saying that it is a gift aid donation
- confirmation that they have paid UK tax – to cover the tax the charity will reclaim.
Cashback Rewards Ltd has a Gift Aid form that Members shoud complete if they would like to donate under Gift Aid. The form will be shared with the appropriate Charity.
How do Charities go about joining?
To register, Charities must use the Charity Registration Page. This must be completed by an official charity representative.
Each charity will have its own account accessible only to them, this account will keep track of all donations made to the charity, it will show how much is held in the account, it will also show who (unless the member wishes to donate anonymously) made the donation, how much and when it was donated, along with the Gift Aid form if the member chose to gift aid their donation. Charities will be able view their transaction history on the account, including all donations made; all payments processed; and total amount of donations to date. Gift Aid forms and Statements will be able to be printed directly from the account.
Please note - Cashback Rewards Ltd does not collect on behalf of the Charities or Good Causes. We purely supply the means to allow the Charities or Good Causes to put their rationale for needing donations before our members, and supply members with the tools to make that donation, and, where appropriate, allow the member to Gift Aid their donation.
