Supporting us - how you can help:
Donations
Gift Aid is a simple process allowing us to claim back tax on your donation, which means that we get an extra 28p for every pound you donate. Gift Aid replaced the former 'Covenant' arrangements.
As a registered charity, we can increase the value of donations from anyone who pays UK Income Tax by 20%. This is by us recovering the Income Tax which you have already paid, and is at no extra cost to you; all you have to do is to complete and return to us a simple Gift Aid declaration. Please see the Donations page for further information.
Legacies
What interested the father does not always interest the son, and here passing a vehicle to the Trust before death helps – but transfer as part of a Will reduces the Inheritance Tax payable by your heirs, as donations to a charity are excluded from the valuation of the estate.
It's not just millionaires who are affected by Inheritance Tax (IHT) - if the total value of all your financial assets is greater than £312,000 (tax year 2008-09), the taxman could be entitled to 40p of every £1 over that amount.
But IHT is exempt on property and money that goes to charity - such as the SVR Rolling Stock Trust. Please see the Legacies page for further information.
