Gift Aid
It is not often in this day and age that you get something for nothing!
However, changes to tax legislation in April 2000 allow the Scout Group to reclaim some of the tax you pay to the Inland Revenue. All that is required is that, if you are a taxpayer, you fill out a form, which simply asks for your name, address and signature.
How does this work?
Our Scout Group has charitable status and as a result of this, any funds which you donate to the Group (e.g. term subscriptions), are deemed to have been paid NET of tax. The Group is then able to reclaim the tax attributable to the donation - simple!
Forms have previously been issued to all parents, however, if you have not completed and returned a form then please contact Pennie Withers - subs@wargravescouts.org to discuss further. It is the easiest fund-raising event ever!!
