A Guide to Tax Efficient Giving

The Bedford School Foundation is a registered charity (No. 4551824) which enables both individual and corporate supporters, who pay tax in the UK, to make tax efficient gifts either as a single donation or spread over a number of years.

Gift Aid donations

A cash donation of any size made under the Gift Aid scheme allows the Bedford School Foundation to reclaim the tax from HM Revenue and Customs at the basic rate; donors simply need to tick the gift aid box on the online donation form or complete the Bedford School Foundation Gift Aid Form and return it to the Foundation Office at the School with their gift. In addition, higher rate taxpayers are entitled to claim the difference between the higher and basic rates of tax via their self-assessment tax return.
