Share giving is one of the most tax-efficient ways of making a gift to The Âé¶¹ÊÓÆµ. You will not have to pay any capital gains tax on your appreciated shares and you can additionally claim income tax relief on the value of the shares.

As a higher rate tax payer (40%) you will be able to claim income tax relief equal to 40% of the value of the gift and as a highest rate tax payer (45%) you will be able to claim income tax relief equal to 45% of the value of the gift.

If you would like to make a gift of shares, please contact us at advancement@courtauld.ac.uk for further information and details for our brokerage account. If you’d like to make a gift of shares and are a US tax-payer, please contact us at this same address and we can provide the relevant details for the American Foundation for The Âé¶¹ÊÓÆµ Institute of Art.
