Many companies will match the charitable donations made by their employees. This is sometimes by as much as 2:1, making a significant difference to the value of your giving at no extra cost to you. View our A-Z list of companies that offer matched giving.
Donations from UK Taxpayers benefit from the government’s Gift Aid Scheme. For every £1 donated, the College can claim 25 pence of tax at no additional cost to you. Thus a gift of £100 is worth £125 to Magdalen. Higher rate tax payers can also benefit from tax relief by claiming back the difference between the higher rates of tax at 40 or 50 per cent and the basic rate of tax at 20 per cent on the total value of their gross donation.

Giving Shares
Gifts of shares are one of the most tax-effective ways to give money. You won’t have to pay any capital gains tax on the shares you donate and UK taxpayers can claim income tax relief too. Higher rate (40%) taxpayers can claim income tax relief equal to 40% of the value of the gift, and highest rate (45%) taxpayers can claim income tax relief equal to 45% of the value of the gift. Shares can be transferred via Cazenove. For further information, please contact Sean Rainey, Development Director: / 01865 286796.
