CHY3

“Increase donations for your Conference today at NO EXTRA cost to your supporters”

Did you know?

Through the CHY 3 Tax Efficient Giving Scheme, Revenue allows charities to claim tax relief on all eligible donations, single or multiple that amount to €250 or over in a calendar year from both PAYE and Self Assessed donors*. This means SVP can get a 45% tax refund from Revenue on donations from supporters who give €250 or more in a calendar year. For example, if someone donates €250 to your Conference this means that their donation could actually be worth €363 to your Conference with tax relief.

How to claim?

To claim the tax relief on eligible receipted donations and increase the value of donations, whether you are a donor or an SVP Conference, just follow these easy steps:

1. Conference Treasurer: Record details of each donation received (monthly, annual or other) by donor name in the Treasurers Ledger/Agresso. Records of each donation must be maintained as Revenue may ask to see them. Send all donors whose donation(s) amount to €250 or more in one year a CHY3 cert and return envelope with their thank you letter / receipt.

2. Donors: Donors simply sign the form once and return to National Office in the freepost envelope provided. As the CHY3 is an enduring cert, it covers any future donations received for 5 years.

3. National Office: National Office then processes the claim directly with Revenue and will return eligible funds directly to the local Conference.

Not claimed previously?

SVP can claim or donations made in the previous 4 years e.g. in 2020 we can claim the tax back on donations for 2019, 2018, 2017 and 2016. So if your Conference has not claimed the tax back on donations made to your Conference in the four previous years, we can submit claims for each year that has not been claimed going back 4 years

Where can I get CHY forms and information packs?

1. Donors: Your Conference or Regional Office will send you the CHY3 form. 2. SVP Conferences: To request more CHY3 certs, freepost envelopes and letter templates simply call Deirdre Mullen on 01 884 8217 or email Deirdre.mullen@svp.ie.
