Five Ways of Giving That Give Back

Supporting Includes Us Too isn’t just about making a difference in the lives of families raising children with disabilities—it can also be a smart financial decision for your business. Charitable giving offers valuable tax relief, helping you reduce your Corporation Tax bill while playing a vital role in supporting our community.

Here are five ways your business can give back while benefiting from tax relief:

1 Donate Money & Lower Your Taxable Profits

One of the simplest ways to support Includes Us Too is by making a monetary donation. When your company donates to a registered charity like ours, you can deduct the donation from your taxable profits before paying Corporation Tax.

How it works:

  • If your business donates £1,000, your taxable profits reduce by £1,000, meaning you pay less Corporation Tax.
  • There’s no limit on how much your company can donate, as long as it doesn’t create a loss.

This straightforward approach means you can support local families while reducing your tax bill—a win-win for your business and the community.

2 Sponsor Our Coffee Mornings & Support Families

We’ve launched a new sponsorship scheme for small businesses that want to make a meaningful impact. Our coffee mornings provide a safe and welcoming space where parents and carers of children with disabilities can come together, receive support, and hear from guest speakers and workshop leaders.

For £25 per month, your business can sponsor coffee and biscuits for these sessions, ensuring families have a warm and welcoming environment to access support.

How your business benefits:

  • Your business will be recognised as a supporter on our website and social media.
  • Your sponsorship qualifies as a business expense, reducing your taxable profits.
  • You’ll be directly supporting local families in need of connection and guidance.

This is a small commitment with a big impact—helping to bring people together while also offering tax relief for your business.

3 Donate Equipment or Trading Stock

If your company has spare equipment, office supplies, IT resources, or trading stock, you can donate them to Includes Us Too rather than selling them.

Why this benefits your business:

  • Your company can deduct the cost of the donated stock from its taxable profits, reducing its Corporation Tax bill.
  • You can avoid storage and disposal costs while ensuring your items go to a great cause.

For example, if a business donates laptops or sensory toys, we can use these directly in our services to support the children and families we work with. Your donation provides practical help while also offering a tax-efficient way to clear unused stock.

4 Offer Employee Time & Skills as Support

Does your business have talented employees who could help Includes Us Too with their expertise? Companies can second an employee to work with us, and while you continue to pay their salary, this cost is deductible from your taxable profits.

How your business can help:

  • If you have an accountant, marketing expert, IT professional, or HR specialist, they could donate their skills for a short-term project.
  • If your employees volunteer with us, their wages for that period can be deducted as a business expense, reducing your tax bill.

Not only does this help Includes Us Too grow and improve our services, but it also provides a rewarding experience for employees, increasing engagement and corporate social responsibility.

5 Gift Land, Property, or Shares & Gain Dual Tax Benefits

If your company owns land, property, or shares (excluding shares in its own company), donating them to Includes Us Too can provide significant tax relief.

How this benefits your business:

  • You don’t pay Capital Gains Tax on the donated property or shares.
  • You can deduct the market value of the donation from your taxable profits, lowering your Corporation Tax bill.

This is an ideal option for businesses with surplus property or investments looking for a way to support a meaningful cause while benefiting from tax relief.

How to Claim Tax Relief on Charitable Giving

Depending on how your business donates, you can claim tax relief in different ways:

Monetary Donations & Gifts of Property/Shares – Deduct from your Company Tax Return for that financial year.

Equipment & Trading Stock Donations – Deduct the cost as a business expense.

Employee Secondments & Sponsorship – Claim as business expenses in your accounts.

For full details, visit the Gov.uk website or speak to your accountant.
