Make your donations go further - make them tax efficient!

Charities are able to reclaim from the Inland Revenue some of the tax you've paid on your donation - currently 28p for every £1 donated - at no extra cost to you!

This means if you donate £10.00 we can reclaim £2.80 making your donation worth £12.80 to Bag Books. All you need to do is make a Gift Aid Declaration when you make your donation.

What if you are a higher rate tax payer?

If you pay tax at the higher rate of 40 per cent, you can benefit from tax relief on your donation. You can reclaim the difference between the basic rate of 20 per cent and the 40 per cent tax you have paid. For example, if you give £10.00 we can reclaim £2.80 and you can reclaim £2.50 so your £10.00 donation has only cost you £7.50 but Bag Books has received £12.80.
