Did you know that if you are a P.A.Y.E taxpayer and your total contribution to Bóthar in any one year is €250 or more (this is about €21 per month or €5 per week), Bóthar is entitled to a refund from the government of the tax you have paid on this sum?
What does it mean? This means that if your total annual donation reaches €250, Bóthar will actually receive either €312.50 or €431, depending on whether you pay tax at the standard rate or the higher rate. The table below gives an explanation.

Government tax rebate to Bóthar |
Total value of sum received by Bóthar |
€250 |
(standard rate taxpayer) €62.50 |
€312.50 |
€250 |
(Higher rate taxpayer) €181 |
€431 |
Is it complicated to achieve this? In order to achieve this you need only to sign a simple form that Bóthar will send you once a year. Every year, many hundreds of supporters like you kindly consent to this, and the resulting extra income enables Bóthar to fund further projects. Even the tax man must be happy about this.
Who else will have access to my tax details? No details from your tax income are ever used by any Government agency for any purpose other than refunding the tax you have paid on you donation.
If you can agree to sign this simple form when it is posted out to you, you will be making an enormously valuable contribution. If you are unsure of anything and would like to discuss it in confidence and with no further obligation
