Tax-Efficient Giving: Make your generous gift go even further
If you donated €250 or more to Irish Hospice Foundation (IHF) in the last 4 years, thank you. Your generosity is helping us provide information, care, and support to people facing dying, death, and bereavement across Ireland.
But you can make your support go even further by helping us claim an extra 45% back from Revenue by filling out the simple tax form, and it won’t cost you a thing! For example, if you donated €250 last year, Irish Hospice Foundation can claim back €112.50, meaning your donation is maximised to €362.50 just by signing the tax form.
Is my donation eligible?
Your donations are eligible for tax-efficient giving if they meet the following criteria:
- Value: The donations are worth a combined total of €250 or more to IHF in a calendar year.
- Residency: You were resident in Ireland during the calendar year.
- Tax Status: One of the following applies to you:
- You paid income tax during the year in question.
- You are retired and have a pension, investment, or assets that you paid income tax or capital gains on.
- You are self-employed/self-assessed.
- You are jointly assessed for tax with your tax-paying spouse.
What do I need to do next?
It’s quick and easy. Just click the button below, enter your details, and sign the form online — no need for printing or posting, and it only takes a couple of minutes to complete.
The enduring tax form is valid for 5 years. This means that Irish Hospice Foundation will securely store your form for five years and, for each year that you donate €250 or more to IHF, we can claim tax back from Revenue on your kind donation.
Only you can set these tax funds free. Without your signature, the unclaimed money will never get the chance to help people facing end of life and bereavement in Ireland.
How will IHF protect my privacy?
Irish Hospice Foundation will store your tax form information securely and only for the purposes of obtaining tax rebates from Revenue. Revenue pays the tax relief to IHF when satisfied that you have paid at least the donation amount in tax. IHF does not receive any information on individual taxpayers.
