Payroll Giving
How Payroll Giving can help your business and employees.
Payroll Giving is a simple and tax-efficient way for your employees to make a charitable donation each payday. Sometimes known as Give As You Earn or Workplace Giving, it is the easiest way to make a regular donation to the North West Air Ambulance Charity.
Donations are taken pre-tax direct from the donor’s pay, so they don’t pay any tax on it.
For example, if your employee chooses to make a donation of £10 to the North West Air Ambulance Charity, as a 20% tax payer, it will only cost them £8. If your employee is a 40% tax payer it will only cost them £6.
