Share Giving

Donating shares, no matter how large or small, is a very tax efficient way to give to the Chilterns MS Centre.

Basic rate taxpayers could save up to 22% income tax – costing them only £7,800 on a £10,000 donation (up until April 2008)

After April 2008 the relief will be reduced to 20% in-line with the basic rate tax changes (costing the donor £8,000 to donate £10,000 of shares)

Higher rate taxpayers could save up to 40% income tax, costing them only £6,000

Capital gains tax does not apply to charitable gifts of shares.
