Tax Efficient Giving

If you donate €250 or more in a calendar year, we can claim a tax rebate on your kind donation from the Revenue. Your generosity can grow by up to an additional €112 or 45% – at no extra cost to you and will not affect your tax status. It will make a huge difference in helping us to continue preventing homelessness in our community. All you need to do is sign and return a Donor Consent form, which only takes a couple of minutes to complete.

Your donations are eligible if:

• your donation to Galway Simon is €250 or more in a calendar year while resident in Ireland.
• you paid income tax during the year in question.
• or you are retired and have a pension, investment, or assets that you paid income tax or capital gains on.
• or you are self-employed/self-assessed.
• or you are jointly assessed for tax with your tax-paying spouse.

To allow Galway Simon to reclaim a tax rebate from Revenue on your donation, all you have to do is complete the CHY3 form – available here.

Once signed, the form lasts for 5 years, allowing you to give back for free again every year if you donate over €250. Only you can set these tax funds free – without your signature the unclaimed money will never get the chance to help.

If you would like help or would like a form posted or emailed to you, please contact our donor care team by filling out the 'Enquire Today' form below. We would be delighted to help.

When you return the signed form to Galway Simon, we will forward it to the Revenue Commissioners. We store your tax form information securely and only for the purpose of obtaining tax rebates. Revenue pays the tax relief to Galway Simon when satisfied that you have paid at least the donation amount in income tax. Galway Simon does not receive any information on individual taxpayers.

Thank you so much for your support.
