A safe place to give to charities
Do you want to give to Jersey, UK and other charities?
Are you a Jersey tax payer?
What we do
We are a charity based in Jersey that receives donations from local tax payers, reclaims the tax paid from the government, then forwards on the funds to the charities you choose
For example, if I give £1000 to JET, we can reclaim 25% or £250 in this case. The total funds now available are £1250
This balance can be sent as a one off payment to a charity or as regular payments
This is especially useful if you are paying UK registered charities where you cannot benefit the charity as you are not able to opt in for the UK Government tax gift aid scheme as you are not a UK tax payer
Another example:
If you gave £100 per month to JET and JET forwarded on £100 per month to a UK charity, you will have given £1200 to JET and Jet will have forwarded on the £1200 to the charity. However, at the end of the year we can request the tax refund on the £1200 of £300 which can then be forwarded also as requested
It makes sense to chat
About
JET’s Original Aim was “… to facilitate and maximise the distribution of money to charity — especially Evangelical Christian Churches and Societies” Hence the abbreviation JET from Jersey Evangelical Trust
We’d love to hear from you as JET helps so many charities already … and with you a few more
It is also a great way of keeping money aside and ready to be given to disaster appeals as and when they come…
