Charitable Status

Registered Charity number 1145141

Aberystwyth University is a registered charity. The benefits of our charitable status are:

1. The University can reclaim tax from the Inland Revenue under the Gift Aid scheme, increasing the value of donations from UK tax payers by nearly a third.
2. Higher rate tax payers can also qualify for personal tax deductions on donations made to the University.
3. The University pays no income tax and inheritance tax on gifts of money or property it receives. A gift made to the University in a Will reduces the tax payable on the estate.
4. A gift of stocks and shares made to the University will reduce the donor's income tax liability, and makes the gift exempt from capital gains tax.
