3. Payment Calculation


After the end of each trading period or as frequently as we decide to declare the results, i.e. twice a year, your points will be converted into a cash value. The cash value of the points for the trading period will be agreed at The Co-operative Group’s General Meeting when our members will approve the share of the profits or payout.

At the end of each trading period we will calculate the points you have accumulated. These will be converted into a cash value based on the following formula:

 Proportion of profits approved for share of the profits
                                                                                                            = Value of each point

 Total number of points accumulated by all members
 


We will only pay you a share of the profits if you are a member of The Co operative Group at the time of payment and we have recorded evidence of qualifying products or services within the trading period from an eligible Co-operative Group business.

And,

We will only pay you a share of the profits if the value of the points you have earned is greater than the minimum limit for payment, which may vary for each trading period. If the value of the points you have earned is less than the minimum limit for payment we will roll this amount over and add it to the points you earn in the next trading period.

Depending on what you have instructed us to do we will pay the odd pence, or 25%, 50%, 75% or your entire share of the profits to the Community Fund and/or other named charities we choose to add.

3.3 Gift Aid declaration notice 

If you ticked the box on the application form to donate your odd pence to Gift Aid, this will happen and will go on being donated until you tell us otherwise.

UK charities are currently entitled to 25% tax reclaim using Gift Aid. This means that for every pound you give, the charity will receive an extra 25 pence from the HM Revenue & Customs helping your donation go further.

To qualify for Gift Aid what you pay in income tax or capital gains tax must at least equal the amount the Community Fund will claim in the tax year.

  • You can change this declaration at any time by notifying The Co-operative Group on 0800 023 4708 or email membership@co-operative.co.uk
  • If in the future your circumstances change and you no longer pay tax on your income and capital gains equal to the tax that the charity reclaims, you must cancel your declaration.
  • If you pay tax at the higher rate you can claim further tax relief in your Self Assessment tax return.
  • If you are unsure whether your donations qualify for Gift Aid tax relief, refer to help sheet IR65 on the HM Revenue & Customs website (www.hmrc.gov.uk)
