Your Donation and Tax Back

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 Tax Back form so we can claim this tax back and unlock these vital extra funds. This requires no further donation from you.

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 (2022–2025)
• 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

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

By simply signing and returning you Tax Back form, the extra funds you will help us claim could provide lifesaving essentials for more families like Angelina’s all over the world.

Angelina, a mother-of-five in South Sudan, used to grow crops to harvest food for her family, and had livestock to provide milk and an income. However, due to devastating floods, she and her family lost everything, and were forced to eat water lilies and their roots to survive.

“Once you eat [the water lilies], you immediately feel sick, and you start to have diarrhoea,” Angelina said. “These are the only things that we are eating, which make us sick. And we are drinking water from the river as well. That is how our life is.”

This lack of food options resulted in her young daughters Nyachar and Chaudiel suffering from malnutrition: 

Thankfully, Angelina’s little girls were treated at a Concern-supported health clinic, where they received emergency therapeutic food to help them regain their strength. Their mother has seen an improvement in their health, and they are happier and have the energy to play together again.

Even the minimum additional value that we can claim on one form, could provide a full course of emergency therapeutic food for two children like Nyachar and Claudiel, to help them recover from malnutrition.  

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

So, please complete and return your Tax Back form today.
