Share Giving

Giving shares to Rossendale Hospice can be mutually beneficial to the company that gives them.

Did you know Companies can claim Corporation Tax relief for gifts of shares.

Companies may also claim relief if shares are sold at less than their market value.
Companies gain the relief in addition to any exemptions from Corporation Tax on any capital gains on gifts to the charity, securities and other assets.
Your company should deduct the amount while calculating the company profits in the accounting period in which the shares are given.

Prizes including a luxury make-up bag and credit card holder from Mulberry UK and a spa package at Mellor-based Stanley House Hotel and Spa were also raffled off to rack-up additional funds.

David McCann, senior partner at WHN Solicitors, said: “Over the last ten years we have handed over £47,000 to the hospice from fundraising at our golf day, so we’re thrilled to boost the funds with the latest donation.

“The staff at Rossendale Hospice do an amazing job so it’s a real pleasure to have been able to raise this money to support what they do. We’re committed to supporting the hospice and it’s something we’ll continue to do in the future.”
