Gift Aid
Are you a UK taxpayer? If so, you can help the Bodleian Libraries by purchasing Gift Aid tickets.
Gift Aid ticket prices include a voluntary donation. This allows the Library to reclaim tax on both this donation and the ticket price as part of the Government's Gift Aid Scheme. So if you buy a Gift Aid ticket, we can claim up to 25p for every £1 you spend. For more information about Gift Aid, visit the HM Revenue & Customs website.
