Leaving a legacy to BibleLands

Legacy income is vital to the continued existence of BibleLands. Over the past year, legacy income has funded 1 in 4 of our grants to partner projects. The gift of a legacy is an offering of hope for the future and a positive way to make a real and lasting difference.

2011 budget announcement

From April 2012, Inheritance Tax will be reduced by 10% if you leave 10% or more of your estate to charity.

The Government wants to encourage charitable giving and philanthropy and to support the voluntary sector.
It will be reducing the rate of inheritance tax by 10 per cent for those estates leaving 10 per cent or more to charity, from a rate of 40 per cent to 36 per cent. This will reduce the cost of giving to charity through bequests. The relief is designed so that the benefit of the tax saving is reflected in the bequests received by charities and not in payments to other beneficiaries.
