CHY4 Forms (Tax Relief on Donations to Charities) for the tax year 2018 :
If you are a tax payer (either employed or self employed) and donated €250 or more to the church during the year 2018 by way of weekly offerings, priests’ quarterly collections or any other form of donation, we would kindly ask you to complete and return a “CHY4” form as soon as possible please. Forms available at the church doors or simply google “CHY4” to download. This is a very valuable source of funding for our church that actually costs you the taxpayer nothing because individuals cannot personally avail of the tax relief themselves. Self-employed – if you have a tax liability for 2018, claims can be submitted now regardless of whether you have yet to submit a tax return to Revenue for that year. Thank you – Church Finance Committee.
