Online copies of our Annual Report and Audited Accounts Links to other online resources about homelessness. What we need to know is what you would like on the Society of St James website. A Charitable Budget Tax efficient giving to change. In November 1999, the Chancellor of the Exchequer announced changes to the tax status of charitable donations. These will take effect on the 6th April 2000.
Individuals making a charitable donation can now do so tax-efficiently more easily than ever.
Instead of completing a Gift Aid Certificate, a declaration of consent for the charity to reclaim the income tax already paid on the donation will be used. This can be in writing, online or orally. The technicalities of this arrangement have yet to be finalised by the Inland Revenue. As well, the minimum threshold for tax efficient donations will be removed. This information is correct at time of press but may change before 6th April 2000.
