Under the Tax Relief Scheme our parish is eligible to claim back a percentage of the tax paid by parishioners on their church contributions: all collections & dues can be added together.

Simply sign the form and then fill in the following only: your name and address, PPS No and telephone number and tick the relevant tax rate, standard or higher. All details will be kept absolutely confidential and filling in the form does not affect your tax in any way whatsoever. Any Tax repaid by Revenue goes to parish funds and not to the priests.
