THE Charitable Donation Scheme
How it works
By reclaiming tax on your donation, an authorised charity can increase the donation value by up to an additional 31%
It only takes a couple minutes to complete the simple online form required to reclaim the tax.
The Charitable Donation Scheme allows tax relief on qualifying donations made to approved bodies.
If an individual donates €250 or more in a year, the approved body can claim a refund of tax paid on that donation.

Whats the difference between the CHY3 and CHY4 Forms
CHY3 enduring certificate simply enables the charity to claim tax relief if you donate €250+ in any of the five years covered by the form. It simplifies the tax relief process for both you the donor and the Raphoe Diocese. It’s the most effective method for us to claim the tax rebate. Note it does NOT commit you to making donations to the TEmplecrone Parish.
CHY4 Annual Certificate only allows us to claim tax relief for the year in which you made the donation. If you donate to Raphoe Diocese in any following year, you will need to complete the CHY4 form again.
Can I renew an Enduring Certificate after 5 years?
Yes, and you will be able to do so without further paperwork. Raphoe Diocese may contact you by phone or email. It would be helpful if you supplied your phone number and/or email on the CHY3 form.
