Membership Programme
Civitas does not receive (nor does it seek) any government funding. We value our independence and rely entirely on voluntary donations to fund our research and educational work. Membership ProgrammeTo be more fully involved you can join our membership programme. Click on the link below to print the membership form. Or click here to request further details by post. A donation of any amount will help us to achieve our ideals. You can make secure credit card donations online. Or, if you prefer, the donation form can be printed and faxed to us. Click here for our secure online donation form. Tax Relief on DonationsDonations from individuals attract tax relief at their highest rate. (So a donation worth £1,000 to us may effectively only cost you £600.) Donations from companies attract tax relief at the corporate rate. Tax relief also applies to gifts of shares. For example, if you have taxable earnings of £50,000 and were to give quoted shares with a market value of £1,000, you would only pay income tax (at the higher rate) on £49,000 of your earnings, reducing your tax liability by £400. If the shares included a capital gain of let's say, £500, then a possible CGT liability of £200 could be avoided. If so, your £1,000 gift of shares would effectively only cost you £400. |
