If you pay higher rate tax, you can claim the difference between the higher rate of tax (40 per cent) and the basic rate of tax (20 per cent) on the total (gross) value of your donation to the charity.

You are able to nominate UNICEF as the charity of your choice to receive any rebate that you are due from HMRC when filling out your tax form. The HMRC will pass this repayment directly to UNICEF, increasing the value of your gift even further.

If you have any questions on how to claim Gift Aid as a higher rate tax payer, please contact our donation team on 0844 801 2410.
