Shares

A Gift of Shares to WellChild is a very tax efficient way of helping us to help get sick children better.

Under the Finance Act 2000, companies and individuals can donate shares without paying Capital Gains Tax and also attract corporation tax or income tax relief. If you are a higher-rate taxpayer, for every £150 worth of shares you donate, your tax liability could be reduced by £40.

WellChild receives the full market value of the shares and will usually retain shares to benefit from capital growth, helping children and families long-term.

If you have a small amount of shares to donate to WellChild, you can do this easily through ShareGift.

Small amounts of shares can be difficult to look after but you can put them to good use by donating them to WellChild through ShareGift. You won't have to pay Capital Gains Tax and there is no cost to you for using ShareGift. Simply complete the form, attach your share certificates and return the completed form to:

ShareGift
5 Lower Grosvenor Place
London SW1W 0EJ.

ShareGift will send you a transfer form, and when you return this, the shares will be transferred to WellChild.

If you have any shares in a nominee account or have lost your share certificates, please call ShareGift on 020 7337 0501.
