1. You can cancel this Declaration at any time by notifying the charity. 2. If in future your circumstances change and you no longer pay tax on your income and capital gains equal to the tax that the charity claims; you can cancel your declaration. 3. If you pay tax at the higher rate you can claim further tax relief in your Self Assessment tax return. 4. If you are unsure whether your donations qualify for Gift Aid tax relief, ask the charity.
