- Donate shares to Epilepsy Research UK
Giving stocks or shares to Epilepsy Research
UK is a very tax-efficient way of supporting
our work. Your donation is not only exempt
from Capital Gains Tax, you can also get income
tax relief if the gift is quoted shares.
A wide range of shares and securities now
enjoy this tax relief, including those listed
on a recognised stock exchange in the UK
or elsewhere. Authorised Unit Trust Units,
UK open-ended investment company shares
and certain foreign collective investment
scheme holdings can also be donated.
As an alternative to making an outright
gift of shares, you can also sell quoted
shares to Epilepsy Research UK at less than
their market value. This allows us to receive
shares at a discount whilst you can claim
relief against taxable income.
If you only have a small number of shares,
you can give them to Sharegift, an independent
charity share donation scheme. The scheme
accepts gifts of small numbers of shares,
aggregates them and donates the sale proceeds
to registered charities. When you donate
shares to ShareGift you can nominate Epilepsy
Research UK as a potential beneficiary.
