Self Assesment Gift Aid Giving

Giving to charity through your Self Assessment tax return.

If you complete a Self Assessment tax return and are entitled to a tax refund, you can choose to have all or part of the repayment sent directly to a charity of your choice - this is called ‘Self Assessment Giving’ or ‘SA Donate’.
You can also ask that the repayment is made as a Gift Aid donation. HM Revenue & Customs (HMRC) sends your refund (plus any Gift Aid tax repayment) directly to the charity by electronic transfer.

Why use Self Assessment Giving?

Self Assessment Giving is an easy way to donate your tax refund to charity. When you’ve completed your tax return you also need to complete form SA100 Charity - Giving your tax repayment to charity. The charity receives your donation directly into its bank account.

You can also make the repayment a Gift Aid donation, meaning that the charity can claim back the basic rate tax, providing you’ve paid at least as much tax as the amount of the tax repayment the charity will claim - 25 pence for each pound donated. The Gift Aid refund is paid automatically by HMRC without the charity having to make a claim.

If you’re a higher rate taxpayer

If you’re a higher rate tax payer, you can claim additional Income Tax relief on any Gift Aid donations you’ve made during the tax year, as well as on any gifts of land or shares. If you want a charity to benefit from your tax relief (as well as from receiving your gift) you can use Self Assessment Giving to pass on the repayment to the charity of your choice.

Giving to RABI

To donate your repayment to RABI you will need to enter the code for them on the tax return. RABI has registered for this scheme and its code is JAB02VG and can also be found online at the HMRC website.
