Gift Aid

If you are a UK taxpayer and have bought tickets that include a donation, SHL can claim back extra money from the government through the Gift Aid scheme. For every pound paid, SHL can claim back £0.25.

By ticking the box to Gift Aid on your order, you agree that you are a UK taxpayer and understand that if you pay less Income Tax and/or Capital Gains Tax than the amount of Gift Aid claimed on all your donations in that tax year it is your responsibility to pay any difference.

Please contact us if you wish to cancel your Gift Aid declaration, if you have changed your name or address, or if you no longer pay sufficient tax to qualify for Gift Aid. If you pay Income Tax at the higher or additional rate and want to receive the additional tax relief due to you, you must include all your Gift Aid donations on your Self-Assessment tax return or ask HM Revenue & Customs to adjust your tax code.

Please note, Gift Aid is not applicable on tickets purchased via a Third Party such as Virgin Experience Days, Buy a Gift or Tesco Clubcard vouchers.
