Shares, Securities & Other Properties

Gifts of shares or securities or other property is a very tax effective way of benefiting the Bury Grammar Schools. Since the reforms to charitable giving regulations in April 2000, the tax advantages of giving stocks or shares have increased significantly: relief will be given to the donor for the full value of the shares or securities in addition to any existing capital gains tax relief.
