Gifts of Shares

By making a donation of shares to the School, you can achieve large tax savings, not only on capital gains tax, but on income tax as well.

All donations of shares to the School receive income tax relief of 100% of their market value. This means that if you give shares worth £10,000 to the High School, you will receive income tax relief based on this in full, i.e. £4,000 at the higher rate of tax.

In addition to the income tax saving, a gift of shares to the School will not attract any capital gains liability. Therefore, on a gift of shares of £10,000 to the School, there will be no capital gains tax on this gift, a potential saving of £4,000.

For more information, please contact the Development Office.
