Donating Shares to ZANE

How to donate large holdings of shares

In most cases, if you give shares to ZANE, or sell them to us at a price below the market value, you can get relief against your personal income tax bill. This is in addition to exemption from capital gains tax on the gains you might have made on those shares. With the higher rate of income tax and capital gains both at 40%, this can amount to a substantial tax break for donors. For more details, please contact finance@zaneinfo.com

How to donate small holdings of shares

Established in 1996, ShareGift (registered charity number 1052686) is a charity that specialises in accepting smaller numbers of shares of low value, which are not worth selling on their own. ShareGift has now given over £17 million to more than 2,000 different UK registered charities.

ShareGift can accept any number of shares. All you need to do is send your unwanted share certificates to ShareGift. They will re-register and combine shares, sell them and distribute the proceeds to charities. There is no charge to you for using ShareGift.
