tax at 40% boosts to 166% - I do all the charity giving in the family
( grossed up). I cannot resist giving govt money to charities
If you are paying 20% tax - tax £125 at 20% and you magically get back to £100

[Peter Pedant]

its a miracle - one of my posts has lasted more than 10 m

[bednobs]

sorry PP still don't get it - I read the fift aid gov website which says this: Example
You donate £100 to charity - they claim Gift Aid to make your donation £125. You pay 40% tax so you can personally claim back £25.00 (£125 x 20%).

[THECORBYLOON]

In that example, the donation is £100 but the charity ends up with £25 more.

As HMRC refunded £25 to the donor, the taxpayer has handed over only £75.

As HMRC topped it up by £50 to £125, that additional £50 is 66% of the £75 donation.

If PP's net contribution (after the refund from HMRC) had been £100, the additional 66% would increase it to £166 which is the figure he quoted.

That makes sense thanks

Roy, //It's not the changing of the avatar that's virtue signalling, naomi...it's the announcement of the changing of the avatar.//

If TTT wasn’t encouraging others to do likewise to support the cause I might regard it as virtue signalling but as it is I don’t. I think it’s a thoughtful gesture.

I will nearer the time, it's sitting in gravatar ready to use.
