Charity
The legal definition of charity varies from jurisdiction to jurisdiction. Most jurisdictions have rules governing to which charities tax-efficient donations may be made. It is therefore important to ensure that gifts which are intended to be effective for tax purposes are made to the right charity. In the U.K., tax relief is only available for gifts to U.K. charities. This means that gifts to non-U.K. charities will not qualify under the Gift Aid scheme. In India, charity tends to take place on a smaller, more personal scale; however, there are still tax rebates for various forms of charitable giving.
