The AOBA Charity not only benefits from donations, but is able to claim a refund of tax from HMRC if the donation has been made from an individual’s income that has been subject to Income Tax or Capital Gains Tax.

like the AOBA to reclaim Gift Aid on my current and future donation(s). I confirm that I have paid or will pay an amount of Income Tax and/or Capital Gains Tax for each tax year (6 April to 5 April) that is at least equal to the amount of tax that all the charities or Community Amateur Sports Clubs (CASCs) that I donate to will reclaim on my gifts for that tax year. I understand that other taxes such as VAT and Council Tax do not qualify. I understand the AOBA Charity will reclaim 25p of tax on every £1 that I give on or after 6 April 2018. I will notify the AOBA if I want to cancel this declaration, change my name or home address, or no longer pay sufficient tax on my income and/or capital gains. I understand that if I pay Income Tax at the higher or additional rate and want to receive the additional tax relief due to me, then I must include all my Gift Aid donations on my Self-Assessment tax return or ask HM Revenue and Customs to adjust my tax code.
