Your donation and tax back
Unlock life-saving funds with your signature

Unlock vital life-saving funds, without donating an extra cent! 

Have you donated to Concern in the last four years? With just a quick signature, more funds could be heading to the world's poorest communities.

When you give €250 or more in one year, Concern can claim an extra 45% in tax back on your generous donations. 

That’s a minimum of €112.33 extra in vital funds that we could put to work to help the world’s most vulnerable people.

All you have to do is sign and return a Taxback form so we can claim this tax back and unlock these vital extra funds. This requires no further donation from you.

Tax back criteria

In order for Concern to claim tax back on your donations, you must have:

  • Donated €250 or more to Concern in one year (January–December) in the last four years (2020–2023)
  • Have paid tax (PAYE or self-assessed) for the relevant year(s)
  • Donated yourself directly, rather than sponsored a friend or taken part in a raffle or collection

Tax back scheme

Following the 2013 budget, changes were made to the tax relief scheme on charitable donations:

  • All taxpayers (PAYE & Self-assessed) are now eligible
  • One form will now cover you for five years (after which you can renew your tax form either by email or phone – so less paperwork and less hassle!)
  • One standard tax rate applies for everyone

The difference your tax can make

By simply signing and returning your Taxback form, the extra funds you will help us claim could provide more life-saving essentials for more families like Rachida’s all over the world.

Rachida lives in Tsernaoua village in Niger with her two-year-old daughter, Malilla. Little Malilla was admitted to the local health clinic, suffering from severe malnutrition. Thankfully, she received the treatment she needed at the Concern-supported clinic. Following a course of emergency therapeutic food, Malilla's health and weight improved, and she is now back at home with her mother.

Since then, Concern has followed up with regular visits to Rachida and Malilla, providing advice on hygiene and nutrition. We have also helped Rachida to set up a sack garden to grow cabbage, amaranth and tomato seeds, to provide nutritious food for her family.

I’m happy with what I am able to grow, because already I can see the results flourishing. I’m going to use the vegetables to make delicious sauces for the family. I will also keep the seeds to plant again another season.

Rachida - Mother from Niger

With even the minimum additional value that we can claim on one tax form - that's €112.33 - we could provide a full course of emergency therapeutic food for two children like Malilla, to help them recover from malnutrition.

This is the incredible impact that these extra funds could have on more families like Rachida's - all thanks to just one signature.

So, please complete and return your Taxback form today.
