Capital gifts

Gifts of capital assets or shares can be made directly to Colfe’s Charitable Trust without the donor incurring any liability to Capital Gains Tax or Inheritance Tax. For example, a donation of shares currently valued at £30,000 (but bought for £10,000) would be exempt from capital gains tax. In addition the full amount of £30,000 could be offset against income liable to tax.

If you are thinking about donating stocks and shares and would like to discuss this further, please contact the Development Office on 020 8297 8352.
