Who We Are

Gift Aid
I am a UK taxpayer and wish AKU-ISMC to claim Gift Aid on all donations I have made in the last four years and any future donations I make. What is Gift Aid? I confirm 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 charity will reclaim 25p of tax on every £1 that I give or have given in the last four tax years.
