Supporting the Friends of Lichfield Cathedral by donating shares
A great way to support the work of The Friends is to gift shares. Particularly advantageous if you are a UK taxpayer as gifts of shares may attract a double tax benefit:
- the value of your gift may reduce your taxable income; and
- you will be exempt from any capital gains tax liability on the shares gifted.
