Important information about Gift Aid

Using Gift Aid means that for every £1 you give we can currently claim an extra 25p from HM Revenue and Customs, helping your donation go further to support Scope charity purposes.

It’s your responsibility to notify Scope Central Trading Ltd if you no longer pay sufficient Income tax and/or Capital Gains tax for Gift Aid to be claimed.

You must let us know of any changes to your name or address. This is so HMRC can match your tax record with our Gift Aid claim.

This agreement can be terminated by either party. You may terminate this agreement at any time by contacting us in writing or by asking out shop team to complete the cancellation form.

If any items donated by you are returned to our shops after being sold, we’ll assume financial responsibility for any refunds or exchanges on these items. A customer has no recourse to you personally.

By signing up to Gift Aid you agree to donate net sales proceeds up to £1000 and to Scope Central Trading claiming Gift Aid on net sales proceeds.

The following details when we let you know the amount raised from the sale of your goods and the amount claimed in Gift Aid.

Where net proceeds are less than £20

We do not have to contact you each tax year. We will send you a statement every 3 years, or when your net proceeds reach £20 in any given year, whichever comes first. If you prefer to receive annual updates even if the amount raised is less than £20, please contact us on giftaid.administrator@scope.org.uk

Where the net proceeds are under £1,000

Where the net proceeds in any single tax year (6 April to 5 April the following year) are under £1,000, we will give these to Scope without contacting you first. You will receive an end of year statement at the end of the tax year.

Where the net proceeds are over £1,000

Where net proceeds in any one tax year exceed £1,000, the first £1,000 will be donated to Scope without contacting you. We’ll write to you at the end of the tax year to confirm whether you wish to donate the amount over the £1,000 threshold to Scope. You will have 21 days to let us know if you do not wish to donate the net proceeds over £1,000. If we don’t hear from you, we’ll assume that you consent to donate the total sum over £1,000 to Scope.
