Oxfam’s Tag Your Bag Gift Aid scheme is now active in both Salisbury Oxfam shops! This is an exciting new scheme that allows Oxfam to make an extra 28p in the £1 for items we sell that were donated through the scheme by claiming back the tax from the government through the Gift Aid process.

There are 3 easy steps to start giving:

1. Complete a simple form to join the scheme. This gives your permission and confirms that you are a UK tax-payer. We’ll then give you some personalised ‘Tag your Bag’ stickers.
2. Every time you bring things into an Oxfam shop, tag each bag with one of your stickers. This allows us to track how much we raise from the sale of your items.
3. Feel good about giving 28% more to Oxfam’s work!

It’s that easy. And it won’t cost you a penny.

What is Gift Aid?

Gift Aid is a scheme introduced by HM Revenue and Customs that allows charities such as Oxfam to reclaim the tax on any cash donated to them from UK tax-payers.
