Gift Aid allows Blair Castle, and charities like us to reclaim tax (25p for every £1) from the government on your donations at no extra cost to you.  If you are an eligible UK taxpayer, by opting to purchase a gift aid ticket you enable us to treat your payment as a donation, so every £1 you spend translates to £1.25 to fund critical maintenance and preservation work.

By ticking this box I confirm I am a UK taxpayer and understand that if I pay less Income Tax and/or Capital Gains Tax in the current tax year than the amount of Gift Aid claimed on all my donations to charities or community amateur sports clubs it is my responsibility to pay any difference.  Please treat my payment as a gift aid payment. I understand other taxes such as VAT and council tax do not qualify.
