Monthly donations to the Irish Cancer Society
More people are being diagnosed with cancer than ever before in Ireland.
By 2045 cancer rates will double. The Irish Cancer Society is working to stop this. By investing in cancer research and providing care and support to people affected by cancer, the Irish Cancer Society is stopping cancer in its tracks.
Through research we are finding out more and more about how to diagnose, treat and how to stop cancer before its starts.
Regular gifts from supporters like you enable us to continue to offer our services to people and families affected by cancer. They provide a reliable source of income that allows us to plan ahead with confidence, and to keep our administration costs to a minimum.
Frequently Asked Questions
After the end of any year in which your donations total €250 or more, we will send you a CHY3 form to complete (unless you already completed one for that period). If you are a tax payer simply complete the form and return it to the Irish Cancer Society. We will then send a claim to Revenue. When they are satisfied that you paid at least that amount in tax, they will send us the money. Please send your completed CHY3 form directly to the Irish Cancer Society, not Revenue.
You donation will be worth an additional 44.93%. So if you donate €250, we can claim €112.33 tax back from revenue – meaning your original donation is worth €362.33 to the Irish Cancer Society.

Absolutely. Your details will remain completely confidential to the Irish Cancer Society and the Revenue Commissioners. The information will not be used for anything other than the tax claim. And you don’t need to tell us how much tax you pay or whether you are PAYE or self-assessed. All we need is your signature and PPS number. We will retain this number securely and only for the purposes of obtaining the tax back on your donation.
Not at all. It won’t cost you a penny in tax or affect your tax status in any way.
Yes. If you are jointly assessed as a couple either party can sign the form using either person’s PPS number.
If you have a pension, investments or any other means on which you pay either income or capital gains tax, we can claim on this amount. I’m self-employed/self-assessed – don’t I get the tax relief myself? Since 1 Jan 2013, self-assessed and PAYE taxpayers are treated the same – all tax relief goes to the charity, not the taxpayer. So, while you don’t get the relief yourself, your donations to the Irish Cancer Society can be worth 44.9% more, at no extra cost to you.
It doesn’t matter if you have given to other charities as well. You can send in the tax form to each charity. We only reclaim tax on the donations you made to the Irish Cancer Society (assuming you donated €250 or more to us within a year). All charities can claim separately for donations you’ve made.
