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 Taxback 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 (2021–2024)
• 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 your Taxback form, the extra funds you will help us claim could provide more life-saving essentials for more families like Ayaan’s all over the world. 

Ayaan* is a 30-year-old mother of five - including baby Malual* - from South Sudan. 

Ayaan first visited Lueth Ngor Public Health Care Unit (PHCU), which is supported by Concern, in 2023 when she began to notice the first sign of malnutrition in her child.

“When this facility was opened with Concern, we were told about the available services on offer through our local chief, and we could also see our neighbors who had visited here returning home with medicine and the Plumpy'nut (Ready-to-Use Therapeutic Food, or RUTF)) for malnourished children," Ayaan says. "When I came here for the first time, we walked for two hours. 

"I found the facility to be really good. We received the Plumpy'nut for my child and some medicine for myself as I was suffering from malaria. Once I received the malaria medication, I took it for 3 days, and I started to feel better.”

Things soon began to improve for Ayaan's little boy too. 

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 Malual, to help them recover from malnutrition.

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