If you are a UK tax-payer please remember to include a Gift Aid Declaration. This will increase the value of your donation by 25% (25p for every £1 or £250 for every £1,000) as we can reclaim this amount from HMRC.

If you are a higher-rate taxpayer, see below the additional relief you can claim through your tax return.

GIFTS FROM THE USA VIA THE AMERICAN FRIENDS OF HARROW SCHOOL

MAKE A GIFT

US Tax efficient giving

The American Friends of Harrow School Inc. (AFHS) is an independent charitable organisation facilitating tax-efficient contributions from the United States for the benefit of Harrow School. Donors in the US can choose from several giving options.

DONATE FROM YOUR SCHOOL FEE BILL

CHEQUES

CHARITY CHEQUES / VOUCHERS OR VIA CHARITIES AID FOUNDATION (CAF)

LEGACY GIVING

All bequests, from UK tax payers, to the School are exempt from Inheritance Tax (currently 40%). A further 4% discount on Inheritance Tax may apply when at least 10% or more of the 'net value' of the estate is left to charity. The threshold for Inheritance Tax is currently £325,000. We are most grateful to donors who make provision in their Will in favour of Harrow and they may count on the same recognition and gratitude as other benefactors.

Visit our Leaving a Legacy page for more information.

STOCKS AND SHARES

Individuals can obtain a double form of tax relief by donating gifts of shares and securities to Harrow. The value of the gift can be offset against any income tax liability and in addition the gift would be exempt from any liability for capital gains tax.

For a higher-rate taxpayer at 40% who donates £10,000 worth of shares, this will mean a reduction of £4,000 in his Income Tax liability, as well as avoiding any Capital Gains Tax liability. The reduction is even greater for top-rate taxpayers at 45%.

A further benefit to the donor is that the tax deduction will be based on the value of the shares at the date of gift, rather than the original cost. This is likely to be higher: eg. A higher rate donor who donates shares valued at £10,000 (with a cost of £3,000) receives income tax relief of £4,000, £1,000 more than original cost.

GIFTS OF ASSETS

Some donors choose to gift a specific personal possession to Harrow. Examples include property, jewellery, antiques and works of art. The value of the gift can be offset against any income tax liability and in addition the gift would be exempt from any liability for capital gains tax.

For a higher-rate taxpayer at 40% who donates an asset worth £10,000, this will mean a reduction of £4,000 in his Income Tax liability, as well as avoiding any Capital Gains Tax liability. The reduction is even greater for top-rate taxpayers at 45%.

tax efficient giving

Taxpayers at 40%: the HMRC will increase your tax-free allowance by the difference between 20% and 40%. For a donation of £1,000, this is a saving of £250, thus reducing the net cost of your gift to £750.
Taxpayers at 45%: the HMRC will increase your tax-free allowance by the difference between 20% and 45%. For a donation of £1,000, this is a saving of £312.50, thus reducing the net cost of your gift to £687.50.

Single Gift	Net cost to donor (taxpayer at 40%)	Net cost to donor (taxpayer at 45%)	Gross value to Harrow
£1,000	£750	£687.50	£1,250
£4,000	£3,000	£2,750	£5,000
£24,000	£18,000	£16,500	£30,000

To claim your tax-free allowance, simply enter details of your donations on your tax return.
