If we\u2019re all honest with ourselves, the idea of winning a lot of money is appealing not because it would allow us to help others, but because it would let us help ourselves. For some, though, the thought of seeing a wealth of funds hitting their account would present them with an opportunity to donate some, if not all, of it to charity. The question is, how does this actually work? We know that you can\u2019t give money to other people<\/a>, such as friends or relatives, without tax having to be paid on it, but is the same true of charity?<\/p>\n The good news on that front is that donations of any kinds, almost irrespective of where the money came from, is free from the complications of tax. The reason we say \u2018almost irrespective of where the money came from\u2019 is that money obtained through illegal or ill-gotten means will obviously not be accepted by charities, nor will you be able to do anything else with it should the origins of the money be discovered.<\/p>\n For most people, though, there will be nothing illegal about it and they will be pleased that they can donate money to charity free of tax implications.<\/p>\n There are many people out there that are cynical enough to want to know about what happens when they donate money to charity because they\u2019re hoping for some breaks on that front from the tax man. The good news is that there are also a wealth of people that only care about how they can make a difference, often having a favoured charity for personal reasons. Perhaps they know someone suffering from dementia, for example, or who died of cancer. Maybe they\u2019ve been diagnosed with multiple sclerosis and want to give accordingly.<\/p>\n Whatever the reasons, people can give money to charity without having to worry about whether they will have to pay any tax on what they\u2019re giving away. Some charities have begun to set up their own lotteries, which people play in order to help the charity in question and then help even more by donating any winnings back to the charity. Regardless of how you do it, you can rest safe in the knowledge that no tax will be due on any winnings that you look to pay to a charity of your choosing from the winnings of your gambling activity.<\/p>\n <\/p>\nCharitable Giving<\/h2>\n
