Gift Aid is a government scheme, for UK tax payers, to encourage charitable giving. For every pound you give, Norwich Theatre Royal will receive an extra 25p from the HMRC, helping your donation go further. If you are a higher rate tax payer you may also be eligible to reclaim additional tax.
If you give £10.00 to Norwich Theatre Royal, we can claim £2.50 in Gift Aid making your donation worth £12.50. In 2009/10 we claimed almost £6,000 in Gift Aid at no additional cost to our donors – Thank you!
Imagine what a difference that could make and it won’t cost you an extra penny. You only need to complete the form once, and it will cover all future donations until you notify us otherwise.
Please print the Gift Aid form and return the completed form to our Freepost address: Fundraising, Theatre Royal, FREEPOST ANG4107, Theatre Street. Norwich, NR2 1YT
Do I have to complete a Gift Aid declaration every time I donate?
No, you only have to complete the form once for Norwich Theatre Royal and all your donations will be Gift Aided until you notify us otherwise.
Can you claim Gift Aid for donations already given?
Yes, we can backdate claims for a period of four years.
Can I Gift Aid my Friends of the Theatre membership fee?
No, because the Friends of the Theatre membership benefits exceed the levels allowed by the HMRC, however if you are a Theatre Royal Ambassador we can gift aid your monthly donations.
I’m not sure if I pay enough tax?
If you donate £10.00 to Norwich Theatre Royal you must have paid £2.50 in income or capital gains tax in that tax year (April 6th to April 5th)
