What is Tax-Effective Giving?
Tax-Effective Giving enables businesses to claim tax relief on gifts to charity. The core tax-effective giving methods are listed on the left of the screen (click or scroll down the page for details).
Tax relief is also available on:
Gifts of equipment or trading stock to charity
Businesses who give to charity an item manufactured or sold in the course of your trade, or machinery or plant used in the course of your trade, can get tax relief. For details please view the HMRC – Giving to Charity by Businesses.
Sponsorship payments
Businesses who sponsor a charitable activity, may be eligible for tax relief. Whether a payment qualifies for tax relief will depend on the facts. For example a payment made to get publicity for your name or product, which represents a reasonable rate of return for the amount paid, will usually qualify. For details please contact the HM Revenue & Customs .
Employee Secondments
Businesses who second employees to work for a charity on a temporary basis can deduct the costs incurred in connection with the employments, including salary, in calculating taxable profits. For details, please contact the HM Revenue & Customs .
