Signing and returning your tax form means that UNICEF can claim tax back on your donation. You only need to complete this form once every five years.
Don’t miss this opportunity to increase your wonderful support for children.
For every €250 you donate, UNICEF can claim up to €112 back on your donations from Revenue.
That’s enough to provide emergency therapeutic food to help bring 2 more children back from the brink of starvation.
The difference YOU can make with just your signature!
Nadia was just 12 months old when her parents began to realise something was terribly wrong. Weeks had passed and, no matter what they tried, she simply wasn’t getting enough to eat. Then came the fever. Then the struggle to breathe. Her mother Mariam watched helplessly as her baby grew weaker by the day.
“I was terrified I might lose her,” Mariam says. “She couldn’t move at all.”
Nadia had severe acute malnutrition – a potentially deadly lack of food. But even getting her to the nearest UNICEF-supported clinic felt impossible. The family had no money for the fare. It was only thanks to the generosity of neighbours that Nadia made it there at all.
Once she did, the therapeutic milk and antibiotics she received gave her back her life.
Support from people like you helped make that possible. And right now, with food and medicine in critically short supply across Yemen, countless other families are facing the same desperate situation Mariam and Nadia did.
You don’t need to give another penny to help them. Just take 30 seconds to complete your tax form and we can claim back additional funds on the donation you’ve already made. But please hurry. Time is running out.
By signing and returning your tax form, you will send urgently needed funds to help save children like Nadia.
Tax Back Scheme FAQ
Donations that amount to €250 in any one year or more qualify for tax back.
If you gave €250 or more in a single year and are a taxpayer, UNICEF can claim up to 45% of the value of your donation; this means a donation of €250 could be worth an extra €112.33. If you donate €1,000 UNICEF can claim €449.30, making your donation to children worth €1,449.30!
You will find this on your payslip, Public Services Card or any communication from the Office of the Revenue Commissioner.
You may be jointly assessed and if that’s the case, you can still fill out the form. You just need to fill out the details of the person who pays tax.
If you were either a self-assessed taxpayer or paid tax on your annual income in the year that your donation of over €250 was paid, then you can go ahead and fill out the form. Otherwise unfortunately we will not be able to claim tax back.
Since 1 Jan 2013, self-assessed and PAYE taxpayers are treated the same – all tax back goes to the charity, not the taxpayer. So, while you don’t get the tax back yourself, your donations to UNICEF Ireland can be worth up to 45% without donating again.
If you are not a taxpayer or you prefer not to receive the tax form in future, please call our Donor Care Team on 01 878 3000.
The donation amount on the form is what you have given to UNICEF. It doesn’t matter if you have given to other charities as well.
Yes. The tax form is valid for 5 years, but if you decide later that you do not want UNICEF to receive tax back, you can cancel an enduring certificate at any stage by contacting UNICEF Ireland.
Unfortunately, we can only claim tax back on donations which came personally from you.
Absolutely not. We can only claim tax back on donations which you have already given to us, or that you may give in the next 4 years.
No. You don’t need to tell us your earnings or how much tax you pay. All we need is your authorisation to claim back tax on your donations, which you can give by signing and dating the tax form. What’s more, the information that you disclose on a Charity Tax Relief Form will be kept completely confidential
