How it works

If you are completing a self assessment tax return, you can nominate a charity to receive any tax refund you are due.

The Government will treat this refund as a Gift Aid donation. This means that Research into Ageing will get 28p more for every pound donated – at no extra cost to you.

For example:

• if you are owed £10,
• the taxman will add £2.80,
• giving a total donation of £12.80.
• Please note: this scheme is open to UK taxpayers only.

What you need to do

To ensure Research into Ageing receives your tax refund, please include the Charity's unique identifier number on the tax return form. This number is SAC87UG.
