margin-right: 10"> <span style="font-size: 10.0pt; font-family: Verdana">We very much prefer worshippers in Llandaff Cathedral to use the monthly Direct Debit way of giving (GWADD: Give With A Direct Debit) for the following reasons:</span></p> <ul> <li> <p style="margin-left: 10; margin-right: 10; margin-bottom: 3"> <span style="font-size: 10.0pt; font-family: Verdana">a GWADD gift represents your commitment. It is <u>predictable</u> <i>regular</i> income for us, and not dependent upon whether you happen to be in church or on holiday - and that helps our budgeting to be more realistic;</span></li> <li> <p style="margin-left: 10; margin-right: 10; margin-bottom: 3"> <span style="font-size: 10.0pt; font-family: Verdana">there is no handling of money within the Cathedral. Loose cash does not have to be counted, kept safe, nor taken to the bank, and all recording is done automatically;</span></li> <li> <p style="margin-left: 10; margin-right: 10; margin-bottom: 3"> <span style="font-size: 10.0pt; font-family: Verdana">tax you have paid (while &#39;basic rate&#39; tax remains at 20% this means a further 25% of your gift) can be reclaimed from the Inland Revenue and is received in the shortest possible time, typically 4 weeks later;</span></li> <li> <p style="margin-left: 10; margin-right: 10; margin-bottom: 3"> <span style="font-size: 10.0pt; font-family: Verdana">we do not have to compile and submit claims for the refund of tax, nor keep the records necessary for the Inland Revenue&#39;s auditors: by using GWADD, the Church In Wales office does all of this on our behalf;</span></li> <li> <p style="margin-left: 10; margin-right: 10; margin-bottom: 3"> <span style="font-size: 10.0pt; font-family: Verdana"> non-taxpayers can also use GWADD - for them no reclaim is made. Higher rate taxpayers actually personally benefit (we can supply further details) and therefore can be more generous at no extra &#39;cost&#39;;</span></li> <li> <p style="margin-left: 10; margin-right: 10; margin-bottom: 3"> <span style="font-size: 10.0pt; font-family: Verdana">if you tick the &#39;automatically inflate&#39; box, then every March you will receive a letter from the Church in Wales indicating the amount by which inflation increased in the previous year.&nbsp; Your gift will then be increased by that percentage, and you will be provided with an opportunity to consider further your level of giving;</span></li> <li> <p style="margin-left: 10; margin-right: 10; margin-bottom: 3"> <span style="font-size: 10.0pt; font-family: Verdana">Direct Debits have &#39;come of age&#39; and are now the standard way of meeting regular commitments;</span></li> <li> <p style="margin-left: 10; margin-right: 10; margin-bottom: 3"> <span style="font-size: 10.0pt; font-family: Verdana">Direct Debits are protected by the banks&#39; Direct Debit Guarantee which ensures that you will be refunded should any error occur.</span></li> </ul> <p style="margin-left: 10; margin-right: 10" align="justify"> <span style="font-size: 10.0pt; font-family: Verdana">When your GWADD and the accompanying Direct Debit Instruction (DDI) forms are processed by the Church in Wales office, you will receive a letter reminding you of your monthly undertaking, indicating when the collections will start (they are taken on the 6th of a month), and giving a reference number for your commitment.&nbsp; If you quote that reference number whenever you ask to make any change, it will help to make sure that your wishes are dealt with speedily and accurately.&nbsp; Should you move your account to another bank, the arrangement normally &#39;follows&#39; the account without any action necessary on your part: the details of the change are notified electronically between your bank and the Church in Wales.&nbsp; It is simple to increase or decrease your monthly gift as circumstances change: just write a letter to the Church in Wales office.&nbsp; Similarly, if you move to another Church in Wales parish, you can ask for your gift to move there.&nbsp; Changes requested by the 26th of a month normally take effect from the following month&#39;s collection (by 18 December for a January collection).</span></p> <p style="margin-left: 10;
