Gift Aid

I confirm that I am a UK Income or Capital Gains taxpayer. I have read this statement and want the Friends of the Edinburgh University Library to reclaim tax on my subscription and any donation given on the date shown and any I may make in the future. I understand that I must pay an amount of Income Tax and/or Capital Gains Tax in the tax year at least equal to the amount of tax that all the charities I donate to will reclaim on my gifts for that tax year. If this is not the case, then it is my responsibility to pay the difference. I shall notify the Friends if I want to cancel this declaration, or change my name or home address, or no longer pay sufficient tax on my income and/or capital gains. I do not wish to claim Gift Aid.
