    Charitable giving, personal or corporate?

    My step daughter is running the Great North Run in 10 days or so, and raising money for "Hearing Dogs for Deaf People"

    What is the most tax efficient way to donate her some money?

    1. Personally? I presume they can claim the tax back on this.

    2. From company? Any advantage over 1 above?

    Cheers

      So if pay from personal taxed income the charity can claim the tax back.

      If I pay from corporate funds, I don't pay CT on the donation.

      Thanks

          Good point, I saved £35 by 1 post on CUK rather than half an hour googling away.

          NLUK > Google, simple plain English question gives accurate, concise results.
