How you can give a gift to support orphans
15/01/2008
How could you support the world's largest orphan charity?
If you're in the process of completing your Self Assessment Return and you are entitled to a repayment, you can choose to have all or part of it sent directly to SOS Children. The deadline for completed forms for 2006-2007 is 31 January 2008.
In addition you can ask that the repayment is made as a Gift Aid donation. HMRC will send your refund (plus any Gift Aid donation where applicable) directly to us by electronic transfer.
Advantages for you
Once your form is completed you don't need to do anything
If you complete a full return you can choose to make the donation and Gift Aid anonymously - something you can't do with the shorter version.
Advantages for SOS Children
We receive the donation direct to our bank account so saving our admin costs
Gift Aid is also paid directly so we don't have to make s seperate claim, again saving our costs
To let SOS Children benefit from Self Assessment Donate you need to enter the following unique reference code AAD70CG in the space provided on your self assessment return.
