Donating shares is a simple and tax-effective way of supporting Raystede
Often, smaller number of shares can be more hassle than they are worth. Selling them can cost as much as, or more than, the value of the shares themselves. There are also tax implications, as income from shares, no matter how small, must be declared.
If you are a UK taxpayer, you can claim income tax relief on the value of most stocks and securities when you donate them to a charity. In addition, donating shares charitably gives rise to neither a gain nor a loss for Capital Gains Tax (CGT) purposes.
