If you have, or are planning to donate to Irish Mission
Agencies Partnership and any of it's Partner Missions, your gift may be dramatically increased simply by availing of the Charity Tax Scheme(ROI).
If you donate €250 or more in one calendar year and are a PAYE-Only tax
payer, Irish Mission Agencies Partnership can claim Tax back on your gift,
at no extra cost to you .
Under the Irish governments Tax Relief scheme, if you donated €250
throughout the year, Irish Mission Agencies Partnership can claim back:
- An
additional €173.73 directly from the government, if you pay tax at the
higher rate
- Or a
further €62.50, if you pay tax at the standard rate.
The Tax Relief amount we receive back is proportional to your donations; the
higher your donations, the more tax we can claim back. To calculate how much
more your donation could be worth, see
our FAQ section below.
Thanks to the generosity of donors who have donated to Irish Mission
Agencies Partnership and taken the time to send back the completed form, we
have been able to give extra to iMAP partner missions to benefit further.
Irish Mission Agencies Partnership sends out tax forms once a year to donors
who qualify for tax back on their donations. All you need to do is complete the
form/s, and return to iMAP. Remember, this
costs you nothing and it does not affect your tax situation in any way. All

How much more could my donation be worth?
Under the scheme, for example, if you donate €250 throughout the year, are
an employee and pay tax at the higher rate of 41%, iMAP can claim back an
additional €173.73 directly from the government. If you pay tax at the standard
rate we can claim back a further €62.50.
To calculate how much more your donation could be worth, you can use the
following formula:
- If you
pay tax at the standard rate: Donation amount given x 100 ÷ 80 = value of
donation to Irish Mission Agencies Partnership(i.e. €300 x 100 ÷ 80 =
€375)
- If you
pay tax at the higher rate:
Donation amount given x 100 ÷ 59 = value of donation to Irish Mission
Agencies Partnership
(i.e. €300 x 100 ÷ 59 = €508.47)

What if I am Self-Assessed or a
Company?
If you are Self-Assessed or a Company you can reclaim the tax yourself when
you complete your annual tax return. You can then choose to make a donation out
of the money you reclaim from the tax office. Companies donating more than €250
in a financial year can claim tax relief as a trading expense. Irish Mission
Agencies Partnership can provide the necessary receipts that are needed to file
these returns.

Can I claim if I am partly Self-Assessed and partly
PAYE?
Irish Mission Agencies Partnership can only claim on behalf of people who
are PAYE-Only for the year. You can, however, claim yourself when you
complete your own tax return.

I do not pay tax but my husband/wife does.
Married couples can claim tax together; either person can claim on their PPS
number. If one person is on a higher rate of tax we can claim on the higher
rate.

I am a pensioner, does this apply to me?
Some pensioners pay tax on their pension, and we can claim on this amount.
Back to top
If I give to a number of charities, can I claim the
total amount from the scheme?
A charity can only claim from the donations given to it and these donations
have to be over €250. For example, if you give €150 to charity X and €150 to
charity Y throughout the year, the charities will not be eligible to claim
relief on either donation. However if donations are given to several of our
partners the combined donations through iMAP as a charity may enable the total
to exceed the €250.

How much do I need to give to make my monthly Direct
Debit Tax efficient?
Direct debits give us the all-important security to plan ahead, budget more
efficiently, and make our limited resources go so much further. A monthly
donation of €21 per month will make your donation to Irish Mission Agencies
Partnership go that extra bit further.
