All you need to know about tax-efficient donations

Charitable giving can be a great opportunity to reduce the tax you pay while supporting our lifesaving work.  

How does tax-efficient giving work?

By donating to British Heart Foundation (BHF), you can help fund groundbreaking research and save lives - and it can be tax-efficient for you.

Tax benefits are subject to change and BHF cannot offer formal financial advice, so we recommend that you seek appropriate financial and tax advice that is specific to your individual circumstances. But if charitable giving is something you might consider, keep reading to find out more. 

“I won’t have fear determine how I live”

With your donations, we can fund research into the prevention and treatment of heart and circulatory conditions, saving lives like Michelle's, who collapsed suddenly one day due to a faulty mitral valve.
