THE 2025 GOLDEN VINES®
TICKET PAYMENTS
For this year, we’re allowing individuals to split their payments for tickets into two payments:
PAYMENT ONE: To Liquid Icons Productions Ltd
PAYMENT TWO: To The Gérard Basset Foundation*
*For US taxpayers, the payment is made to America’s Charities Inc. who are acting for the Foundation
This allows both US citizens/taxpayers and non-US citizens/taxpayers the potential to offset a portion of the cost of the ticket either through their own Charitable Trusts or Foundations, or against their income taxes in any given year.
Non-US taxpayers may be able to claim charitable tax relief in respect of cash payments made to the Gérard Basset Foundation. However, whether tax relief is available will depend upon you seeking tax advice from your own tax professional. For UK taxpayers, Gift Aid cannot be applied to this payment.
To potentially benefit from the tax break as a US citizen/tax payer, please follow the below steps:
Are you a US citizen or US taxpayer?
If yes, a portion of your ticket price may qualify as a charitable donation. You should consult with your tax advisor to determine any tax consequences of your ticket purchase.
For US taxpayers, a payment equal to 80% of the ticket price is made to America’s Charities Inc. who are acting for the Foundation, for US tax purposes.
