This type of gift ensures that those you care for are provided for, and has the additional benefit of keeping pace with inflation. Suggested wording:

I direct that the receipt of the Finance Officer or duly authorised officer shall be a good discharge to my executors.

The Inland Revenue have begun a scheme that allows any individual who completes a Self-Assessment Tax Return to nominate the Church (or a charity) to receive all or part of any tax repayments due to them as a donation. This does not replace the existing Gift Aid scheme but is in addition to it. We have been given a specific code that refers to our charity. The Church’s unique code is TAA98WG and is listed on the Inland Revenue website. The advantages of this scheme are that the donation will be paid direct to the Church’s bank account, the form will incorporate a Gift Aid declaration, Gift Aid tax will be paid without the charity having to make a claim, and the Church will benefit from Gift Aid on any anonymous donations, should anyone select our charity from the Inland Revenue website.
