I like to shovel the fruits of Mammon in the direction of:

Oxfam
Amnesty International
Big Issue Foundation
Reprieve (anti death penalty)
Some people who send books to Africa and whose name escapes me


Prefer the donations to have maximum benefit per £ (a finger-in-the-air kind of idea I know) which means I'm more inclined towards 3rd world relief, human rights lobbying etc.

Anyone regularly donate to charity?

Either time or money.

Mrs Gonzo likes to send money to support tigers and has sponsored several around the world.

I myself prefer to "save the people" first, so my money goes to Oxfam. Monthly DD and extra when I am thinking how lucky I am.

A question I keep meaning to ask my accountant but keep forgetting (and I'm drunk now so will no way remember on monday).........


Consider the 3 cases (figures simplified):
(i) I give £77 to charity out of my own money, thus allowing the charity to claim the income tax back, giving them £100.
(ii) My Ltd gives the charity £100, they can't claim the income tax back, but myco saves £20 in corporation tax.


Have I got the above correct?
My brain start's to hurt when I try to work out which case is best for both the charity and me, can any of you lerned people shed some light on to this?

I gave Sasguru to a charity. They claimed Bagpuss back from the Tax man, and my company got AtW back as a refund.
Beaker was put down as a Net loss, and Churchill was classed as a depreciation.
