Tax deductable charity donation

Doesn't that only apply if it's his benefit year? Is it his benefit year?

Any diverted income toward a charity can be made pre tax with the correct paperwork. In fact by requesting it to go directly to the charity and never actually hitting his account I doubt there's any significant steps to take.

Plus, even if the donation is tax deductable he'd still be better off financially if he didn't make it, so I don't really get that argument.

Do higher rate tax payers get a higher rate of tax relief on charitable donations or is it fixed?

Edit: Answer to my own question...(from HMRC website)

If you pay higher rate tax, you can claim the difference between the higher rate of tax 40 and/or 45 per cent and the basic rate of tax 20 per cent on the total 'gross' value of your donation to the charity or CASC.

For example, if you donate £100, the total value of your donation to the charity is £125 - so you can claim back:
•£25 - if you pay tax at 40 per cent (£125 × 20%)
•£31.25 - if you pay tax at 45 per cent (£125 × 20%) plus (£125 × 5%)

It wasn't a direct criticism. I can't abide the scrote, nor the circus which is the Hillsborough group but he has forgone probably, net, about 3 days pay. He didn't have to do that and so, therefore, good for him.

I could go in all sorts of directions about it being very, very visible and based as much in getting good publicity for himself as anything else. But that woukd be cynical ... & you know that's not my style !!

Happen the prick might want to check out if this lot, http://nadj.org.uk/" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false; have some kind of benevolent fund that he could tip a few hours pay into ahead of next time one of them doesn't play exactly what he wants to listen to.

Talk about knickers, twisted...

Jeez, there's some cynical folk on here. Footballers rightly get slagged off for some of their excesses but here's a guy making a hefty donation to a fund he believes in. Well done Stevie lah

Maybe a multi millionaire just wanted to make a charitable donation to a cause close to him, his family and the community he lives in?

Imagine that eh?

There are many reasons to have a pop at Gerrard and I'm usually first in line, but surely this isn't one of them.

Now if you don’t mind, would you care to read the opening post on this that I actually wrote, because I don't believe it targets the areas you seem to think it's aimed at...

I saw this on the Beeb website... Gerrard in £96,000 Hillsborough move
I've been done! I was expecting Rodgers had flogged him to Sheff Wed for a few k. How disappointing.

Only just seen this, as I tend to only skim over your posts. It wasn't aimed at you

despite todays result THIS amused me

Think they are title contenders now. The top 4 was definantly decided today so the likes of Manure, Spurs and Everton might as well just give up.

Still a few more twists and turns ahead.....

found it depressing to go for a pre match pint in the doffcocker to find it full of l'pool 'fans'. Is football just a lifestyle choice / consumer brand that supposedly reflects your personal standing

How is Stevie Me still on the pitch?

[bobo the clown]

How is Stevie Me still on the pitch?

Because he's Stevie Me I guess.

Get's away with (figurative) murder. Always has done.

[Annoyed Grunt]

How is Stevie Me still on the pitch?

Because Webb bottled giving the second penalty...

[Annoyed Grunt]

Prick.

No one said anything though.....

Because its Arsenal and such upper class citizens who have to pay 60, 70 or even £80 for a ticket are not the sort to resort to violence.

[boltonboris]

What do you think should've happened to him? Don't you think it's a good sign that somebody didn't get their head bashed in because they support a different team to others in the stadium?

[bwfcdan94]

Im saying sadly that is what you would expect to happen going on past experience of going to games and seeing fans celebrating in the opposition end and it ending in violence. I agree its nice to see that little more than a glare was given. I can recall 2 occasions at Bolton games where fans have celebrated while being in the opposition end and the result has been people fighting.

[Lord Kangana]

Indeed Boris, and whilst I'm in 100% agreement with you, I do also simultaneously detest the Americanified "in your face loozer!!" type celebrations that are now ubiquitous for anything even remotely worth celebrating. AKA, stop acting like a dick.

[bwfcdan94]

I should add I think he should have been moved to the Liverpool end to stop conflict, if I ever found myself where I was in an opposition end at a football match I wouldn't celebrate when Bolton scored because I would be mindful that everyone else in the end would be unhappy/angry that their team had conceded a goal and therefore myself celebrating would be a bad idea.
