From 6th April 2004, you can donate all or part of your tax repayment to a charity of your choice using your self assessment return.

How does it work?

When completing your self assessment form:

• If you want to give all of the repayment to charity tick box 19A.
• If you want to specific a maximum amount, enter that amount in box 19A.2.
• Enter the code for your chosen charity at box 19A.3. In the case of NHCP, the code is VAF27GG.
• For Gift Aid to apply, tick box 19A.4. This will mean that NHCP will get an extra 28%. However, before ticking this box, please ensure you are likely to pay at least the value of the 28% tax repayment during the current tax year e.g. If your tax repayment is £100 then by gift aiding this amount, NHCP will receive an additional £28.20. You therefore need to ensure that you will be paying at least £28.20 in tax during the current year.
