Claiming Corporation Tax relief on gifts to charity
Gifts of money made to a charity by your company should be paid gross - before tax is deducted. These donations are deductible from the total profits of your business when calculating Corporation Tax.
Donations that qualify for Corporation Tax relief
Your company can claim relief as long as the donation is a payment of money that is not a distribution of profit such as a dividend
