Payroll Giving

What is Payroll Giving?

Payroll Giving, also known as Give As You Earn, is a way of giving money to charity without paying tax on it. Your donation is taken straight from your wages or pension each month before tax, which means that more money goes to charity. 

The amount of tax relief you get depends on the rate of tax you pay: 

• On the basic tax rate, if you donate £8 the charity will receive £10
• On the higher tax rate, if you donate £6 the charity will receive £10
• On the additional tax rate, if you donate £5.50 the charity will receive £10

With Payroll Giving, your donation will go even further, at no extra cost to you.
