Gift Aid

Sheffield Hallam University Higher Education Corporation will enable Donors to add Gift Aid to their donation if applicable. In order for Gift Aid to be claimed on donations, Donors must make a declaration that they meet all HMRC conditions.

Your gift can often be enhanced by a variety of tax breaks for charitable action.

Gift Aid is a UK government scheme that enables the University to claim tax relief on donations from UK taxpayers. We would encourage all eligible donors to take up this scheme to maximise their donation. For every £1 a UK taxpayer donates, 25p in reclaimed tax is added. This means that a £100 gift with Gift Aid is worth £125 to the University.

Please note that we will share relevant and necessary data with HM Revenue and Customs to enable us to reclaim the Gift Aid on your donation.

Donations from companies are not eligible for Gift Aid. However, the company can treat the gift as an allowable expense, making a saving on corporation tax.

Higher rate (40%) and Additional Rate (45%) taxpayers can also reclaim the difference between the basic rate and their top rate of tax on the value of their gift.

Example – how a donor paying UK tax at 40% could support a £9,000 scholarship at a net cost of £5,400: A gift of £7,200 grows to £9,000 when Gift Aid is added at the basic rate of tax. The donor can claim higher rate relief of £1,800 which is the difference between basic rate and higher rate tax. Once this relief is deducted from the original gift the net cost to the donor is reduced to £5,400. The scholarship could be funded outright with a gift of £7,200 or through three annual instalments of £2,400, which would be at a net cost of £1,500 per annum.

Example – how a donor paying UK tax at 45% could support a £9,000 scholarship at a net cost of £4,950. A gift of £7,200 grows to £9,000 when Gift Aid is added at the basic rate of tax. The donor can claim additional rate relief of £2,250 which is the difference between basic rate and additional rate tax. Once this relief is deducted from the original gift the net cost to the donor is reduced to £4,950.

The scholarship could be funded outright with a gift of £7,200 or through three annual instalments of £2,400, which would be at a net cost of £1,650 per annum.

Gift Aid can be added when you are completing your donation. If you already give, you can download the form to claim Gift Aid on any donations made in the previous four years.

For advice on Gift Aid or if you have any questions about eligibility please contact shu-giving@shu.ac.uk .

General legal terms

Sheffield Hallam University Higher Education Corporation may transfer its rights and obligations under the Terms to another organisation, and Sheffield Hallam University Higher Education Corporation will always notify you in writing if this happens, but this will not affect your rights or Sheffield Hallam University Higher Education Corporation’s obligations under the Terms.

You agree that if Sheffield Hallam University Higher Education Corporation does not exercise or enforce, or delays in exercising or enforcing, any legal right or remedy which is contained in the Terms (or which Sheffield Hallam University Higher Education Corporation has the benefit of under any applicable law), this will not be taken to be a formal waiver of Sheffield Hallam University Higher Education Corporation’s rights and that those rights or remedies will still be available to Sheffield Hallam University Higher Education Corporation (and does not mean that you do not have to comply with your obligations). If Sheffield Hallam University Higher Education Corporation does waive a default by you, Sheffield Hallam University Higher Education Corporation will only do so in writing, and that will not mean that Sheffield Hallam University Higher Education Corporation will automatically waive any later default by you.

This contract is between you and Sheffield Hallam University Higher Education Corporation. A person who is not a party to the Terms has no right to rely on or enforce any of the Terms.

Each of the paragraphs of the Terms operates separately. If any court or relevant authority decides that any of them are unlawful, the remaining paragraphs will remain in full force and effect.

Your statutory rights as a consumer are unaffected by the Terms and you may have rights under statute additional to those granted by the Terms. If in doubt you should contact your local Citizens’ Advice Bureau or Trading Standards Office.

Sheffield Hallam University Higher Education Corporation will not file a copy of the contract between you and Sheffield Hallam University Higher Education Corporation.

Where the words "in writing" appear in the Terms, this includes email. If you wish to contact Sheffield Hallam University Higher Education Corporation in writing, or if any provision in the Terms requires you to give Sheffield Hallam University Higher Education Corporation notice in writing, you can send this to Sheffield Hallam University Higher Education Corporation by e-mail to shu-giving@shu.ac.uk, or by pre-paid post to Development and Alumni Relations Office, Sheffield Hallam University, Level 4 - Bryan Nicholson Building, Furnival Square, Sheffield, S1 4QL.

Governing Law

The Terms, and your relationship with Sheffield Hallam University Higher Education Corporation under the Terms (including the subject-matter of the Terms and the formation of the contract, and any contractual or non-contractual dispute associated with your use of the Services), are governed by English law. You and Sheffield Hallam University Higher Education Corporation agree that the courts of England and Wales shall have non-exclusive jurisdiction to resolve any such dispute.
