Retail Gift Aid Claim
What happens if I haven’t paid enough tax to cover my gifts?
Please contact us as soon as possible so that we can cancel your Gift Aid Declaration and not claim the Gift Aid.
You can close your Gift Aid Declaration by:
- Visiting www.oxfam.org.uk/closegiftaid
- sending an email to: heretohelp@oxfam.org.uk
- by writing to us at Supporter Relations, Oxfam, Oxfam House, John Smith Drive, Oxford, OX4 2JY
- or by calling our Supporter Relations team on 0300 200 1300
If you have paid insufficient Income Tax or Capital Gains Tax to cover your donations, you may need to pay the shortfall of tax to HMRC, as it is your responsibility to pay any difference.
What happens if I want to claim the money raised?
If you wish to receive the proceeds from the sale of your items rather than donate them to Oxfam, you can write to us at Supporter Relations, Oxfam, Oxfam House, John Smith Drive, Oxford, OX4 2JY within 21 calendar days of the date of this email, stating your Donor Number and giving us the account name, account number and sort code of the bank account that you would like us to credit. Please note: we can only accept these instructions in writing (not by email); we cannot issue cheques; we can only credit your bank account (so please ensure you only give your bank account details). Only the actual proceeds from the sale of your items is refundable and a 3% charge (including VAT) has been deducted already to contribute to the administrative costs of the scheme. We hope you understand that we will need to end your participation in the scheme. Any goods you bring to Oxfam in future (including under future registrations) will be treated as non-Gift Aided donations.
