GIFT AID

DRIVING LICENCES If you have a photo-licence and are under the age of 70, your licence must be renewed every TEN years. Check your licence and make sure it is valid! Every THREE years above age 70.

The parish will shortly be submitting the annual claim for repayment of tax in respect of contributions made under the Gift Aid scheme. It is essential that parishioners, who donate through the weekly collection under a Gift Aid Declaration, let the parish know if they are no longer paying either income or capital gains tax at least equal to the amount of tax that the parish is about to claim for the tax year ending 5th April 2009. If you have donated a total of £100 during the year, the parish can claim £28.20 – provided you have paid at least £28.10 in tax. For each multiple of £100 you donate, the parish can claim that multiple of £28.20 and you must have paid at least that amount of tax. Please note that you must inform the parish if you change your address or if you cease to pay tax.. If you have any query, please contact Mike Tehan on 286059.
