REGISTERED CHARITY No: 1125938
Thank you for taking the time to look at this support
package page.
This page gives the details of the financial support
packages available
To show simply & clearly how you can help &
support Ceramic Brass Band.
As a registered Charity No: 1125938 any donation
you make is Tax deductable.
The costs of running a successful brass band are
very high and it is the basics which are so frequently
and easily overlooked such as, general administrative
costs, insurance, band registrations, membership
fees, van hire for transport to concerts, coach
hire for long distance contests/engagements etc.
Added to those 'basic' running costs are the specific
costs associated with ongoing music purchase, new
uniforms and existing uniform ongoing replacement
instrument replacement (brass band instruments range
from £1200 to £10,000 each, and there
are 26 of them!) plus percussion instruments (eg
single timpani approx £1500), instrument maintenance
and the like. The initial costs of recording a CD
can be in excess of £3000
Ceramic Brass Band is an un-sponsored independent
brass band, and is supported only by concert income,
membership subscriptions, and any donations that
are generously made. Any support that you can offer
the band will of course be greatly appreciated,
and will be used solely to support the running costs
of the band as noted above. Financial support will
not be used for payments or rewards to any individual
members of the band.
The support packages detailed below are tailored
to provide different levels of support, however
if you wish to engage in either higher level sponsorship
of a specific project (eg new band uniform (approx
cost £6000. correct as of Sept 08), new equipment,
CD recording etc) or just wish to make a smaller
donation please do not hesitate to contact us at
ceramicbrassband@yahoo.co.uk If you prefer to talk

Gifts of money
Businesses can get tax relief when they give money
to a charity, whether as a one-off or a regular
payment, under the Gift Aid scheme. There is no
longer a separate tax relief for payments to charity
under a deed of covenant. There is no limit to the
amount that the business can give, but the way you
get tax relief will depend upon whether the business
is a company, a sole trader or a partnership.
How does a company get relief?
If your company decides to give money to charity,
it simply makes the payment through Gift Aid and
deducts the amount as a `charge' when working out
its profits for corporation tax purposes. You make
the full payment to the charity. You do not need
to deduct any tax from the payment and the charity
does not claim back any tax on the gift. You no
longer have to provide a Gift Aid certificate to
the charity or provide a new form of declaration.
If your company has no corporation tax liability
in an accounting period, there are special rules
regarding how any loss created by the donation can
be used. You should contact the HMRC office that
deals with your company's corporation tax affairs
if you need further information on this point.
If you are a close company, generally one under
the control of five people or less, there is a limit
on the benefit which the company, or a person connected
with the company, can receive from the charity in
return for the payment. (There is an explanation
of connected persons in leaflet CGT1 'Capital gains
tax. An Introduction'.)
If you require any additional information, please
do not hesitate to contact us.
