If you give shares to Landmark, you can claim tax relief equal to the market value of the shares on the day you make the gift, together with any associated costs such as broker's fees. For example, if you are a higher rate taxpayer it could only cost you £600 to make a donation to Landmark of £1,000 worth of shares (you could claim relief of £400 off your income tax bill). If there is a gain on the shares, no capital gains tax will be payable by the giver or the Landmark Trust.

Please contact the Development Department to discuss your plans or to check that Landmark will be able to accept your gift.
