Tax Back Giving
You can increase the value and impact of your donation at no extra cost to you.
Make your donation go further
Have you donated more than €250 to COPE Galway this year?
If you donate €250 or more in a calendar year, COPE Galway can reclaim up to 44.9% tax on your donation from Revenue. That is an additional €112.25 on top of your €250 donation, at no extra cost to you.
The most effective way for you to do this is by completing a CHY3 form. This form is valid for 5 years. The CHY4 form is an annual form valid for the year in which you made the donation.

Q&A on the Charitable Tax Back Scheme
How much is the tax back scheme worth to COPE Galway?
An extra 44.9% on donations over €250.
What is the difference between the CHY3 and CHY4 forms?
CHY3 form is an enduring certificate valid for 5 years. This is the most effective method for COPE Galway to claim the tax rebate. It does NOT commit you to making donations to the charity. CHY4 form is an annual form only valid for the year in which you made the donation. If you donate to the charity in any following year, you will need to complete the CHY4 form again.
Do I have to donate €250 in a single donation?
Both one single donation over €250 and donations that total over €250 are eligible for Tax Back Giving.
What payments qualify as donations for tax purposes?
Donations which you made yourself (not on behalf of someone else) which you obtained no tangible benefit. For example, buying a raffle ticket or peer to peer fundraising income would not qualify.
Do I have to reveal any personal tax details?
You do not need to provide any details of your income or tax paid. Only your signature and PPS number is required. COPE Galway will retain this number securely and only for the purposes of obtaining tax rebates on your donations while your CHY3 form is valid.
Can I cancel an Enduring Certificate?
Yes – send an email to donations@copegalway.ie, asking us to cancel the CHY3 certificate.
