Guidance for financial advisers

Paperwork, cups and utensils on deskAs more and more people seek advice on the best ways to give – and how to get associated tax breaks – you can turn to us for specialist know-how and services.

Making the most of tax incentives

Donations can be boosted by up to 28% in reclaimed tax with Gift Aid , and higher rate tax payers can also claim back 18% in personal tax relief.

Donating shares, land or personal assets can be an efficient way to give – potentially allowing your client to claim a double tax break.

Dual tax payers paying tax in both the UK and US can claim tax relief in both countries.

Planned giving

The CAF Charity Account is the most flexible way for your clients to give to charity regularly. It’s easy to give online, by phone, post, standing order and anonymously.

Payroll giving is an ultra-convenient way for clients – be they individuals or companies – to offer regular support to their favourite charities.

A CAF Trust or charitable foundation could suit your clients’ needs – providing a long-term source of income for the causes they care about.

Many people would like to leave a legacy to charity – we can help make this flexible and convenient.

One-off gifts

Our Gift Aid Charity Vouchers offer your clients an innovative way to make sure their small gifts to charity boxes and collections are tax efficient – because we’ve already claimed the tax back for them, and included it in the value of the voucher (minus a small deduction for administration).

And there’s no easier way for your client to make spur of the moment donations than by giving through a credit or debit card.
